You seem not been reading Elmat. My beef with TJ is that I, for the past year or, have been saying that the Asian exporting model is exhausted. China will return to its natural size. China can't print like the FED ECB and BoJ. China is squandering its hard earned wealth to keep in the westerners' mid that it has arrived. It has not. TJ, in the other hand, is also looking ahead, to wards 2026 Teo and 2032 DI. Which I disagree. There won't be Teo nor DI. There will ups and downs and corrections as we have witnessed since the 2001 Collapse.

hi black swan, i am wondering why some non-olive person believe china retail is behind bitcoin when in reality china miner is selling outputs to the world i.e. china just doing what china does, exporting am suggest the non-olives are simply not as aware as they believe themselves to be given such below, suggestive that crypto is in mania phase am not suggesting crypto is necessarily a fraud, or a decentralised fraud, but perhaps mis-priced, either too high to go higher still, or eventually shall be zero-ed. only time can tell. bloomberg.com Deutsche Bank Says Japan's Retail Investors Are Behind Bitcoin's Surge More stories by Julie VerhageDecember 14, 2017, 11:19 PM GMT+8 It’s not drug dealers and tax cheats, it’s Mrs. Watanabe. That term is often used to describe the individual Japanese investor, traditionally a housewife who runs her family’s finances. And that’s who behind the surge in bitcoin, according to a Deutsche Bank AG note Thursday. “We think that retail investors are shifting from leveraged foreign-exchange trading to leveraged cryptocurrency trading,” analysts led by Masao Muraki wrote. Japan accounts for about 50 percent of global foreign-exchange margin trading, according to Deutsche Bank. The bank pointed to a Nikkei report saying that about 40 percent of cryptocurrency trading was yen-denominated in the October and November and is likely rising since China started to shut down digital-currency exchanges. But it might be more apt to pin the surge on Mr. Watanabe, since Japanese men hold 79 percent of foreign-exchange trading accounts, Deutsche Bank said. And 63 percent of these are aged 30-49. The retail-investor led surge in interest for bitcoin may not end well if prices begin to decline in the wake of this year’s more than 16-fold surge, the bank said. “The risk of incurring losses greater than margin is higher than in normal foreign-exchange trading, due to high intraday volatility,” the report said. “Furthermore, as speculation in cryptocurrency is growing to a scale that cannot be ignored, we plan to look more deeply into the potential impact on the market if the bubble should burst and the effect of concerns over this on regulations and monetary policy.” The Watanabes could be facing some marital discord.

Oh no ... team China copied somebody again, alas just copied bigger, faster, and more accurate - otherwise know as possibly better :0) Wonderful to be able to contribute to world peace and add to prosperity after so many years of hiccups - but I guess natural scale allows for outsized recovering capability and capacity - who knew, besides folks who can comprehend history. gbtimes.com as-fast-radio-telescope-detects-three-more-pulsars China's FAST radio telescope detects three more pulsars The 500m diameter FAST radio in September 2017 upon the first anniversary of being switched on. CNS China's FAST radio telescope has discovered three new pulsars, the National Astronomical Observatories of China (NAOC) announced this week, taking its discovery total to nine. FAST, which stands for Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope, is the world's largest single aperture radio telescope and came online in September last year. FAST made its first confirmed finds earlier this year. The pulsars PSR J1859-01 and PSR J1931-02 were detected on August 22 and 25, confirmed by the Parkes telescope in Australia on September 10, and announced in October. The giant facility has since been discovering pulsars 'almost every night', with six being internationally certified before this week. Speaking after the formal announcement of FAST's first pulsar discoveries, director of NAOC Yan Jun said, "The two new discovered pulsars symbolize the dawn of a new era of systematic discoveries by Chinese radio telescopes". Details of the pulsar #1 discovered by China's 500m FAST radio telescope. Chinese Academy of Sciences Trials and pulsars Pulsars, discovered 50 years ago as a mystery space signal, are rapidly rotating remnants of formerly massive stars and are sometimes referred to as 'lighthouses' of the universe due to their regular rotational periods and focused electromagnetic radiation emissions. The telescope is still going through trial operations, but when it comes fully online in 2019, it is expected to discover around 100 pulsars each year. "We can detect high-quality pulsar candidates almost every night," Li Di, chief scientist of the Radio Astronomy Division of the National Astronomical Observatories (NAOC) under the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), told Xinhua in October. FAST is located in Guizhou Province and operated by NAOC, under the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS). Construction of the gargantuan project began back in 2011 in a karst depression in Guizhou Province in southwest China, which has largely now been made a radio-quiet area. FAST is made up of 4,600 panels giving it a collecting area of 196,000 square metres, dwarfing the next largest single dish radio telescope, the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico, which at 305 metres across has a 73,000 square metre collecting area.

CNS FAST science goalsViewing the universe by collecting radio frequency radiation, FAST will be capable of detecting very weak signals from space, and could make contributions in areas such as large-scale physics of the universe and understanding the nature of dark matter. As well as seeking to confirm the existence of gravitational radiation and black holes, FAST will be used to detect molecules such as long-chain carbon molecules in the interstellar medium - the space between stars - and survey hydrogen levels in the Milky Way and other galaxies. It will also contribute to the international search for intelligent extraterrestrial life (SETI) by listening for signals from exoplanets and could also be used to track spacecraft involved in China's space program, such as the 2020 mission to Mars.
