Bitcoin would kill our finance sector, it crashed 80% in seconds. from circa $600 to $108. Now imagine a client who had saved 100million in form of bitcoins, with no hedge...



So why should it be banned in Kenya?

I don't see how it kills our finance sector if it is not part of the finance sector.

Maybe you work in a Bank and you are afraid of losing your job if BC goes mainstream.


Its down 77% in two weeks (950-220). You don't see anything wrong with that? I don't work for any bank. There is an upside to financial regulation, otherwise it would be insane to have a substantial amount of your savings in Bitcoin.
Scenario?
"Monday your cousin from US is sending you $100,000 worth of Bitcoins, account for delays, two weeks later you finally manage to exchange your Bitcoins for real cash, then the banker shocks you with a $33,000 check", now magnify to billions, see where it would place us.

Hmnh!
Conventional thinkers waste time building shelters when they are unnecessary and then have no shelters when they need them the most. Socionomists do the opposite.

Just had a look at the bitcoin 5yr chart.

SMH... Many guys will be caught naked. Two upthrust in 2013 (Apr and Dec) indicate that the price will nosedive below 100 handle. It seems incredible right now, but this is coming! And it will be one mighty fall...

Whoa! When I made this observation on BTC back in Feb 14 2014 the price was @423. Currently it's trading @241. I still maintain the observation that it will head towards 100.

Mpesa and bitcoin are pretty much VERY similar. The only difference is that Bitcoin is not and accepted as a currency, hence the fluctuations amongst other things. If was much easier to transact using bitcoin than it is using mpesa, then that is the death of Mpesa


Bitcoin equivalent to mpesa? aiii
