1Broker Discusses How To Trade Gold, Silver & Apple With Bitcoin - TDV Week In Review, Sunday January 11, 2015
Originally appeared at Bitcoinomics.Net
1Broker is a simple and easy to use website which allows you to trade gold, silver and other markets via contract for differences (CFDs), which represent contracts between two parties in which the seller will pay to the buyer the difference between the current value of an asset and its value at contract time.
You can trade the DAX, Dow Jones 30 Industrial (DOW 30) and S&P 500 indices can be traded in bitcoin denominations.
Apple (AAPL), Facebook (FB), Google (GOOG) and Microsoft Corp. (MSFT) are the stocks which can be traded.
Enjoy our interview with 1Broker.
What is 1Broker?
1Broker offers derivatives on various well-known financial markets. The aim of our platform is to allow Bitcoin users to participate in these markets without worrying about Bitcoin exchange rates. Our primary goal was to make trading as simple and transparent as possible. For this reason we decided to offer CFDs (Contracts for difference) as a market maker and settle all markets directly in Bitcoin.
How has the response been?
1B: Surprisingly well. When I launched 1Broker, I expected a lot of scam accusations and criticism. After some months of operation I think we proved ourselves and there was hardly any hostility against us left.
What can a user do with a 1Broker account?
1B: The range goes from conservatively investing your Bitcoins into a stock market like Google Inc. to making highly speculative forex trades on EUR/USD.
Since 1Broker started, many platforms have come and gone. What is the reason for 1Broker’s longevity?
1B: We decided to build our platform with damage control in mind. Given the complexity of today’s software which every website relies on, we do not fear successful attacks, we simply expect them. Till today, no attacker was able to breach the hot wallet or to access our database, what is certainly an exception in bitcoin-world. It certainly helps that I have solid technical knowledge and design all security-related implementations myself.
How has 1Broker hedged risk?
1B: Hedging positions is a smaller issue than most people think. With enough traders our markets tend to get balanced, which means there is an equal size of positions on long and short. In reasonably balanced markets there is no need for us to hedge. I don’t want to disclose the specifics of how we handle unbalanced markets, since we put a lot of testing and research in this topic.
What has 1Broker taught you?
1B: I certainly underestimated how important marketing is. When I launched 1Broker I expected a hype and hundreds of traders within the first months – actually there were only 5-10 active traders. I would definitely not start a project like this again without having a basic marketing strategy.
Are there any 1Broker plans for the future?
1B: Sure: more markets, more trading-related features and a mobile app are my top priority right now. A cryptographic proof of solvency implementation would be nice, too.

GOLD IS PERFORMING ITS ROLE WELL IN TEOTMSAWKI
By TDV Chief Editor, Jeff Berwick
As we enter into the final stages of The End Of The Monetary System As We Know It (TEOTMSAWKI) gold is playing its role very well.
Due to gold hitting an all-time high of $1,921.50 on September 6th, 2011 and now currently trading near $1,200 there has been a lot of negativity about gold. If you watch mainstream media in the US (which no one does anymore… CNBC just hit all-time record low ratings at the end of 2014) you get the impression that gold is not only dead but going much lower.
However, in every other currency, other than the US dollar, gold advanced in 2014.

THE COLLEGE EDUCATION BUBBLE IS COMING TO ITS LOGICAL END
By TDV Chief Editor, Jeff Berwick
This past weekend a grown, 30 year old man shot his father over unhappiness with his allowance according to reports in Associated Press as reported at ZeroHedge.
While we rarely believe what we hear in the media… if this report is even slightly close to the truth it is a sad commentary on how so many from the Millennial generation have been warped, indebted and destroyed by the very systems their father’s generation have been part of creating.

WHAT THE BITSTAMP HACK MEANS FOR BITCOIN
By TDV Chief Editor, Jeff Berwick
In the early morning on January 5th, one of the largest bitcoin exchanges, Bitstamp, stated, “We have reason to believe that one of Bitstamp’s operational wallets was compromised on January 4th, 2015. As a security precaution against compromises Bitstamp only maintains a small fraction of customer bitcoins in online systems. Bitstamp maintains more than enough offline reserves to cover the compromised bitcoins.”

BITCOIN JESUS BANNED FROM THE U.S.
By TDV Contributor, Wendy McElroy
Roger Ver is a virtual currency millionaire who has been dubbed the Bitcoin Jesus because of his avid advocacy of the blockchain money, which includes his seeding many businesses that use it. Last year, the libertarian-anarchist became a citizen of the Caribbean nation of St. Kitts and Nevis and renounced his American citizenship. Ver may be a bellwether of how the US plans to treat those who renounce their citizenship or who are otherwise inconvenient expats.

JE SUIS CRITICAL: AN INDIVIDUALIST LIBERTARIAN’S TAKE ON THE FRANCE SHOOTINGS
By TDV Chief Editor, Jeff Berwick
The recent reports of a number of gunmen murdering some cartoonists/journalists in France has been front and center in mainstream media this week. Here, at TDV, however, we are stoic, never over-react emotionally to events and always filter through information before we comment on them.
TURN DOWN FOR WHAT? THE WEEKEND VIGILANTE – JANUARY 10TH, 2015
By TDV Chief Editor Jeff Berwick
Hello from Anarchapulco Bay,
This is going to be, perhaps, painfully blunt. That, actually, is very hard for someone who grew up in Kanada in the 70s and 80s where politeness was driven to the extreme… to the point where not holding the door open for a woman who was literally 20 metres away from the door would result in a beating. Yes, that kind of passive agressive politeness.
That, actually, is what makes what I am about to say seem against my nature. For, the craw in my nutsack, or whatever that saying is, is about another Kanadian, Stefan Molyneux. Or, at least, he lives in Kanada… anyway, that’s just geography.
