Maybe someone just sold a bunch of coins for market price and cleared out the order book. Campbx doesn't have the greatest volume. The price already rebounded to 115.

NOOOOO, I missed pg 420 xD
Also this crash is due to the dwolla thing, if you think otherwise then that's cool too I guess, I for sure can't change your mindset.
But it's due to dwolla seizure.
That is all.
Hey, I just heard Dwolla was freezing incoming transactions of FIAT currency, so I decided I should quick sell the currency that I own that can't be frozen in exchange for some currency that has a good chance of being locked down!

I know it's a noobish question, but ... how do you guys calculate how much btc is needed for it to go to "X" price?
I am ashamed,because I traded btc for months now, but didn't know about this.
On bitcoinity, there are two graphs. The first displays the price history, and the second bottom graph shows the order book. Any point on the order book graph shows how many bitcoins would need to be sold at each price.

Holy selloff batman!
Or, holy shakedown
Still it amazes me how little it goes down.
A sell like this was enough for a drop to 110 dollars a while back...now it drops a few dollars. People don't panic anymore like they used to do.
Instead it seems people consider it a great opportunity to buy "cheap coins".
I could be wrong but that's the feeling i have.
I would have thought the price would go up, considering that now it is impossible to withdraw fiat from MtGox.

So, what now? Another consolidation period with no volume? How long this time? A fortnight? 6 weeks? followed by a final rally just to have it spoilt by a dumper on a whim? I think that scenario would be too sickeningly boring to be likely.
"Wait and see" is over -- consolidation is pointless. Screw stability. Buy and laugh in the dumpers' faces.
That's the problem with a currency based 95% on speculation. Nobody wants to buy any if there isn't money to be made.

It's all my perception and of course really crazy events aren't included in this scenario, but even with a ban in some countrys it's value won't be zero though.
I agree. Bitcoin is resilient to law. It is not resilient from technology.
Any of the largest governments, and even some of the large banks, if they wanted Bitcoin gone, could 51% it. They could 90% it. We are a mote. No mistaking it, we can go to zero.
I am optimistic, I think this will not happen, but I also recognize that it might.
It will never reach zero, because if it every reaches $.00000000001/

That the fat fuck hasn't halted trading as the price implodes suggests something nefarious. Dropping the price on a major exchange by 80% through inaction the same as directly causing the crash in my book. I am surprised it has taken this long for some sympathetic lemming selling by big guns on the other exchanges.
Ultimately with bitcoin in the public eye, on the verge of entering mainstream adoption this is precisely what we don't want to happen. The market cap of bitcoin is down to just over 5 billion from 8-10.

It is because they have lost a lot of money and blame him. Money brings out the worst in people, and Bitcoin will show you that.
At some point, the community has to put its foot down and stop encouraging people to invest their 401ks and talk about killing people the community doesn't like.

It's another Universe in there, that has its own rules, people !

If Gox goes up now would it not only be because they are prepping to withdrawl coins and sell anywhere else? Everybody else better be prepping some dollars to exploit this non-Gox dump coming up here soon.
The uptick is indicative of new fiat hitting Gox on Monday morning. I just sent $3,000 not 15 minutes ago and it is now sitting in my account.

Post 5188363 (copy this link) (by Arcas) (scraped on 2020-04-04_Sat_12.11h):
It appears that even though MtGox and Bitstamp have nearly decoupled, they are still very weakly correlated in directional bias.
I think it's quite obvious that MtGox is the main price driver at this point. The other exchanges may have decoupled but the state of MtGox and the question whether it will survive and withdrawals will be restored is still very important for the price at this moment. A higher Gox price will be associated with a higher chance of good news coming out of MtGox and this will cause other exchanges to rise as well with it.
What I have been pondering is whether this directional bias will also be the case if they reinstate withdrawals, or whether the surplus of BTC would drag down the other exchanges. I don't think this can be found out any other way than empirically, so I'm going to be watching very closely, because this will likely decide whether or not we have a longer term bear market. So far, Bitstamp looks strong to me.
I don't see why the freed bitcoin would cause more than a small glitch in the other exchanges. Bitstamp is closely linked to Coinbase, so I don't think that there will be a substantial lack of fiat.

After the doors open the price on Gox is going to shoot up to a premium very quickly. This will drag the other exchanges up with it and when the arbitraging kicks in it will reestablish the old disparity with Gox coins being 5-10% more expensive than other exchanges.
I think he is more concerned that people will take their bitcoins to other exchanges and upset the bitcoin-to-fiat ratios on these exchanges. This would only last until arbitrage kicks in, which would take about a week.

Guys, what arbitrage? USD cannot flee MtGox, that's the thing. JPY and SEPA withdrawals are very delayed as well now with 5-6 weeks plus they have ridiculously small daily quotas for the entire exchange. There can be no meaningful arbitrage with these conditions, near all the fiat funds would stay stuck at the emptygox.
I was referring to arbitrage on bitstamp, which is pretty liquid from what I can tell.

How would an arbitrageur eliminate a price disparity between MtGox and Bitstamp if he does not buy on Bitstamp and sell on MtGox?
Oh, I was only talking about arbitrage fixing the price skew on bitstamp if MtGox released the bitcoins. I see we have a misunderstanding.

Could you elaborate what you mean precisely? What I understand as arbitrage is buying at one place to sell at the other to pocket the difference. Do you just mean that people will send increased amounts of money to Bitstamp if they see the price lower than elsewhere?
Yes, that was basically what I was saying.
I suppose my wording might have been confusing. I only used it because I was referring to all exchanges originally, not just bitstamp.

The situation maybe that people, particularly speculators who are in it for fiat profit will send their coins straight to stap from gox to realise a 100% profit fairly easily. If you have fiat you can still send it to gox so there is a good chance there are people with a fair bit of money that have sent money to gox literally taking the risk they will start withdrawals and they can dump asap on stamp.
I think the transaction sizes on the blockchain will show how many coins are moving after gox allows btc withdrawals albeit some, no one can know how much, will be moving to personal storage off gox but not onto another exchange.
EDIT: Sepa withdrawals from Stamp are speedy in my experience as well. Plus the general excess of coins is sure to lower the price on the other exchanges.
My only concern is that a large flood of withdrawls could drain every exchange of liquidity.
That could be very scary.

Once withdrawn from Gox there should be no need to dump elsewhere as you already profited from the low buy price, still i guess the fear of others blind dumping may spark a race and bring down the price.
Am i missing something?
You are falsely assuming that Bitcoin speculators are rational actors.

Once BTC withdrawals are enabled, the price of BTC on Mt.Gox will skyrocket. Why would you dump on stamp at 700 when you can dump on gox at 900?
Because you can't withdraw fiat on gox.

The only explanation that makes sense: the Gox sellers are accounts which were used to fraudulently withdraw BTC using malleability attacks, and they know those balances will be invalid once Gox gets its shit together. So may as well maximize the panic to potentially buy cheap coins on other exchanges.
Did I nail it or what?
Yeah bro, this is obviously the only possible explanation.

Is it possible to transfer USD between MtGox users?
It might be worth buying some MtGox USD (for real world BTC), converting to MtGox BTC and if all goes well and MtGox hasn't lost all the BTC, withdrawing the BTC at a later date.
Anyone brave enough?
Some people have been trying to buy Gox-bucks on the forum in the past few days. I'm not sure how they facilitate the trade, because I've never used MtGox, but some people like to live dangerously.

I imagine that not only do some folks not trust any exchange, there's often a bunch of time and paperwork involved to get one's account setup. ATM is seemingly less hassle. The palm print thing adds an interesting twist to it however...
That paperwork exists for a reason. Those ATM's won't avoid federal regulation forever if they don't collect user data and accept cash.

Here's my situation. I spent $100 at $650 each a week ago. Not too big of a deal.
I'm thinking of spending another $250-300 tomorrow before the MtGox announcement.
If we hear good news, I could make some money.
If we hear bad news, I could lose A LOT of money.
Not sure if I want to take on that kind of risk, or wait until the market settles on the weekend.

Yes. With a verified account, you can get limited amount instantly, but four days is actually a relatively short time to wait compared to other sources. unfortunately. Four days is typical, but it may take five buisiness days. You'll get your BTC. They are reliable.
So, if I link my credit card I can get instant access to coins? But if I just use my bank account it gives me the current price, but I won't receive coins until 4-5 business days? I suppose all of this information may be available on their FAQ.
Correct. A linked credit card will give you an instant purchase limit of $100, and this can be raised to $1000 after tier 2 verification.

Perhaps you are the idiot and the sheep? Afterall, you are the fkn clown who has lost more than half your net worth through holding your Bitcoin way too long after the top of the wildly over-extended market was in and are still holding, blaming 'the sheep' all the way down.
Be very worried by the way. This whole grind down has occurred almost without a single whale taking a dump. Just once, just after midnight (UK time). The 'support' at $540 clearly isn't happening. Gonna be some whales witnessing this and getting very nervous.

I say that I was somewhat embarassed by the failed prediction, but I will stubbornly carry on until the Chinese learn to pay attention to my postings.
Traditional market trends don't mostly apply with cryptocurrencies. Remember, that bitcoin trading is done on unregulated exchanges, meaning that there is no regulation to stop an exchange owner from doing insider trading. Meaning that the price is probably set buy guys, who know the plans and routines of everyone else. The best way to speculate the future is to see, what is the most profitable way for the market owners. Trying to use traditional trends will only get you trapped more, then it will give you success.
Yeah. Markets normally fluctuate on sentiment, or a general change in trust. A market that spikes up and down >50% daily based on announcements is unhealthy and immature.

Ditto for the "network effect" and "first-player advantage" that were supposed to prevent the appearance of alternative coins.
Supposed by whom? Clearly these factors do not inhibit the creation of infinitely many worthless coins. Nor do those worthless coins inhibit the aggregation of value to the Bitcoin economy.
supposed suggested by many in 2011/12
Or the myths about crypto-payments being untraceable and impossible for governments to restrict, tax, or regulate.
These are media myths, and have never been promulgated as such by any knowledgable members of bitcoin community, during the history of my involvement. They have little enough bearing on the value of Bitcoin.
You've only actually been registered here since September, so that's quite a short time. Irregardless, I think you under-estimate the value of perception (as opposed to the 'truth').
Anonymity is profoundly beneficial to those who need it, and of no import to those who do not.
I believe everyone has an implicit right to anonymity -- your statement infers an explicit or ulterior motive for wanting anonymity.
And, of course, a newbie who does not own any bitcoins will probably have a more dispassionate view of probabilities and possibilities than an old-timer who invested several years of work in the project, and owns a few thousand coins.
However, we know that you are not dispassionate in the least, as your extensive postings have proven. You have an anti-Bitcoin agenda. Pretending otherwise is disingenuous.
I think Jorge made it clear his distinction between applications for the tech v investing in Bitcoin/Bitcoin as a speculative vehicle.
I see no pretence.
* I am not a libertarian.
So you say. I think you are a libertarian, for your self, and a fascist, for others. I doubt you even understand what "libertarian" means when you attempt to draw a contrast by saying
I hardly think Jorge is a fascist -- is everyone who disagrees with you a fascist.
I'm inclined to call Godwin on this.
But perhaps you should make clear your view of libertarianism. I could seek a definition online but I know my 'perceptions' from the media, here in Australia, so the contrast should be interesting between what you think I should know v. my perception of the 'local' information.
I do not trust governments, even those that I voted for; but I believe that they are essential, and should be democratized, opened, and held on a short leash, rather than abolished.
because libertarianism does not seek to abolish governments, make them autocratic or closed, or liberate them from restraint.
This is an example of my point above: because every libertarian I see on tv/in the papers here says "first off, get rid of the govt".
But, fortunately, I have no fear that bitcoin will do that.
I have hope that when banks and governments collapse in chaos, bitcoin will provide an independent anti-fragile means of promoting trade and well-being in their absence. Indeed I am quite certain that it is an effective safety-net for us all in that regard. Bitcoin may yet save your life. And you will be resentful, I suspect.
If banks and governments collapse then there will be wars, death, social unrest, more death, poverty -- perhaps there will be a perfect storm as the effects of climate change impact causing famine and mass migration. But wait....here's Bitcoin.
Melodrama.
So I see absolutely zero chance that governments and banks will just sit there, sucking their thumbs and whining, while a small ill-coordinated band of nerds robs them of their powers and profits. If that is what bitcoin means to you, prepare to be severely disappointed.
"governments" and "banks" are not malign monolithic conspiracies. They are made of people doing their jobs and pursuing their agendas. Your view is paranoid.
So "governments" and "banks" are valuable and efficient organisations....but they are going to collapse? I'm confused.
I don't think the two are similar at all, perhaps its more a parasitic relationship. The first tends to monolithic and run by people with no agenda doing the best they can while trying to get money from the second organisation which is completely driven by a single agenda: make more money. Simplistic but hey.
But they will get out the guns out before they will allow the edifice to fall. History shows us this.
Very long quotes are cumbersome.

Indeed. How about if one replaces "US dollar" with "dollar"
I bought a pack of those, and I hand them out to people, to remind them of the value of a hard-earned dollar.
Every fiat currency in history has ended at zero. That's the alternative future which Jorge prefers: All of your savings, all of your labor, all of your power in this world, is to be converted into material wealth in the hands of your superiors, your masters, your owners.
My great-grandparents used hard currency. They were free. My grandparents lived under the FRB. They were perhaps 90% free. My parents never saw gold circulate. They were perhaps 75% free. I saw the end of silver circulation. I have been perhaps 50% free. My daughter has never seen hard currency. The excruciating trend is that she will be perhaps 25% free, that my grandchildren will only see plastic and digits, and will be nigh 100% enslaved.
Bitcoin and the collapse inherent in exponential debt systems gives me hope that there is another possible future. One in which, for a time, in a place, the boot will not come down on our faces, or the faces of our children. People have given their lives for lesser hopes.

Fait currencies are backed by guns. Our currency is backed by math. Which is more reliable?
Guns are pretty convincing when you are the one staring down the barrel.
And Bitcoin isn't backed by math, it's backed by faith. Numbers have no inherent value. There is no mathematical reason for Bitcoin to be valuable besides the trust we place in it.
Every Shitcoin in the alt board is backed by math as well. It doesn't make them valuable.

I'd rule out #2 in all seriousness because there are cheaper coffee brands.

This news should in no way influence Bitcoin price.
It could imply that MtGox doesn't have any good news, or has a bad announcement. I would recommend shorting.

What does it matter ANYMORE if hes a member of Bitcoin foundation. Infact noone gives flying fck about that BS organization.
MtGox is down 30% in the last hour. Markets don't fall 30% for no reason.

"Ok, so you understand orders can be cancelled after all other orders ahead of it are complete. What would removing the wall after every nibble do, and then replacing it? Nothing. "
Wrong, it scares people exactly as it did here, or excites them, into action. Evidence is already at your feet.
The people on the market think, "I have to do something. This person obviously knows something that I don't. I better sell just in case."
And with a history of insider trading, who could blame them?

Good news guys, Mt. Gox is down to 170 again
I woke up this morning crying
that I hadn't bought at 220 because I hadn't bought at 160
Well lucky me, I didn't buy at 330
Hope you got your goxcoins while the getting was good. It's snapping back pretty hard now.
No. I think I've learned my lesson now

It looks like a textbook bull trap to me.

220
bull trap do you think?
Normally, Gox storming up would have the other exchanges following it automatically. However, Bitstamp has this 8.5K wall and obviously will not budge, thus is holding the multi-exchange, 'recovery' back.
Lets you see how automated most of it all is.
Gox has its own monster 1.2k bid wall.
WOWOWOWOW
It's not
quite as impressive if you look at the $ amount.

MtGox played a huge part in getting Bitcoin to this point. MtGox is also probably the best thing to happen to Bitcoin.

I bought in at $540 on coinbase the other day. Feeling a bit better about my buy to say the least. Not the best, but that's what I get for breaking my golden rule of buying bitcoins.
Golden Rule: Never buy Bitcoins without watching the market for at least 6 hours.
I'm more of a buy-and-hold person, but I do enjoy margin trading on Bitfinex as much as the next guy.

Current speculation is that they exist (they are stolen but they still exist). A minority believe the private keys have been lost (in which case they are truly lost and this is super bullish).
Edit: Almost certainly it is one of these two. I highly doubt Gox has the coins.
The third most popular theory is that Mark spent everyone's funds on frappuccinos.
