So it's something that we have to stop before it starts.

Jim Peters

The planes they have there are all low and slow. A safe landing rests solely with the pilot.

Assess Bitcoins? All you can do is examine the trading patterns, which do not provide a real analysis of any underlying economic value. The economics of investments are not solely based on supply and demand, and that is all that goes into Bitcoin prices.
