Oh shit.

Their plans are going perfectly. The US, EU and Nato want a new cold war with Russia and they will probably get it at this rate. Or even a hot war. While I was on ZH I also read about the Scottish independence vote and how everyone was worried that scotland would secede. But I still can't work out exactly why anyone really cares.

They care in the UK because they want Scotland to remain part of the union, mostly for their oil. Scotland has huge oil fields, which were opened up by BP and pipelines built to bring it ashore. The revenues went to London. If Scotland does secede, then they will be regaining control of their oil resources. That is 1 reason.
I remember hearing years ago that if Scotland were an independent country, it would be one of the richest in the world. There is another reason why they want independence.
I guess it is not important at all unless you live in England or Scotland.
If they vote for independence, then independence they shall have. It is also interesting to observe the vested interests and serious money throwing their weight behind the No campaign (no to independence).
If i was Scottish, I'd take one look at who was behind the No campaign and run to the Yes side.. but that's just me.

Remind me not to help you anymore despite you being a former sub.

No worries about this dip. yep,  cheap coins along with the bigger purpose:  kill off Bitcoin competitors.

Wasn't trying to be an ass. I know it's going up eventually too, you just can't keep constantly saying this is it it's going up followed by consistent drops, only to say you were right when it goes up:P No need to take it personally, I really appreciate everything you've done for me and on this thread.

Metals are a pain in the ass to transport, dinosaur money, undivisible. Just buy BTC already you freaks.

It is probably becoming another good time to purchase precious metals.   In the long term, there is almost no logical way that precious metals will not appreciate.   As the USD (and other currencies) get further and further inflated, precious metals will have to go up (hopefully along with BTC)

gold can't go up while we're experiencing deflation and especially when the USD is ramping.

are we putting in a reversal candle today?
