RE: Is Goldman Sachs going to launch a Bitcoin exchange in the upcoming months?
I agree with you re: Goldman's interest in Bitcoin.
If it's real, this is the sort of thing that can be a game changer. It will help keep governments away from trying to shut them down. And it gives them a way to tax profits, which is one of the things they are concerned about. (we all hate taxes, but let's face it, if the gov can't tax it somehow, they may go after it.

The wall street journal published an article telling Goldman is interested into trading bitcoin, so the exchange could be a way for them. Why not ?
I agree.
There are options on Bitcoin coming out later this year as well.
I think this will really help Bitcoin become main stream which is good for all of us current investors. Time will tell of course, but I'm expecting good things.
@bigsilver I agree, and the hearings that amazon has to accept bitcoin and litecoin, lots of signatures. Hope that comes soon. This type of things will help go mainstream for all crypto. @gold84
@gold84 - yes, if #Amazon starts accepting Bitcoin, that would be a huge validation of legitimacy. The sooner it happens, the better.
that said, I'm not sure I want buy something with Bitcoin... If it's worth $4,300 today and $6,000 next week, that item cost me a lot of money. :)
@bigsilver you are absolutely right. I wouldn't neither. But many new adopters at that stage when amazon starts accepting it, will use it because Bitcoin would cost them the $6,000 if that is the value at that time. The difference is for earlier adopters. @gold84
You are right, but it just a funny thought to be paying with an coin that may be appreciating so quickly.
@bigsilver yes, and that same fact is what will push amazon to start accepting it. @gold84
@gold84, agreed. :)
