Is this really that significant? The price might bubble up a little as some speculate, but I feel this is not so major......Maybe $115 over the next couple of days?

Yeah, was about to buy some earlier today, figured the price already peaked and would go down again. Ofcourse i was wrong.
I can buy now but i can guarantee you the price will drop 1 minute after my buy.
This rule applies to me also. People like us should philanthropically sell our bitcoins to ensure its future success.

How the fuk would gox become insolvent... They're sitting on a goldmine of trading fees alone. You guys really need to stop thinking the worst possible scenarios, I personally think Gox isn't as bad as you guys make it seem. Yes, they have problems, but that's to be expected of an online exchange operating in a novelty area like bitcoin...
GOX is doomed. The sob stories are going to be classic, as millions evaporate to fund the retirement of Gox executives.
I wouldn't go that far but they certainly have lost a lot of customers and they were partly responsible for the big correction a few months ago.
You reap what you sow, so I think Gox will just lose market share. That is needed.
They have done a lot for BTC, being a leader is very difficult. At least they have been great with security.
It will be nice when the exchanges are more evenly distributed, % wise.
Didn't they lose everyone's password hashes recently? My friend had everything stolen.

If your "friend" did not use 2 step authentication he deserved it.
He did not deserve it. We all make mistakes.
I only found out about the password hashes from a post on here. All gox had to do was send out and email informing customers what had happened and to advise them to change their password.
I'm not just gox bashing for the hell of it, they are not that bad, but this could have been avoided.

All your friend had to do was read his e-mail I guess. They sent multiple e-mails regarding this...
"Dear Mt.Gox user,
Our database has been compromised, including your email. We are working on a
quick resolution and to begin with, your password has been disabled as a
security measure (and you will need to reset it to login again on Mt.Gox).
If you were using the same password on Mt.Gox and other places (email, etc),
you should change this password as soon as possible.
For more details, please see this:
https://support.mtgox.com/entries/20208066-huge-bitcoin-sell-off-due-to-a-compromised-account-rollbackThe informations there will be updated as our investigation progresses.
Please accept our apologies for the troubles caused, and be certain we will do
everything we can to keep the funds entrusted with us as secure as possible.
The leaked data includes the following:
- Account number
- Account login
- Email address
- Encrypted password
While the password is encrypted, it is possible to bruteforce most passwords
with time, and it is likely bad people are working on this right now.
Any unauthorized access done to any account you own (email, mtgox, etc) should
be reported to the appropriate authorities in your country.
Thanks,
The Mt.Gox team"

ShroomsKit... Tell us the truth... Did you sell yet?
And Nagle... Did you buy, Nagle?
I don't sell. Ever.
What's your entry (average price)? Have you taken out your original investment yet?
If it drops more, can you afford to buy more?
Just curious.
I bought before the bubble and i bought a couple of times when it crashed. So very low. It has to drop a lot before i start losing money.
With your constant complaining about the price going down a dollar and what seems to be little understanding of how the market works, its hard to believe that.
"Wahhh, someone took a profit, now I'm losing munny
They're a big dumb doo-doo head too!"
Sorry, but you're really annoying when you pull that crap almost daily.
Yeah, i'm really just lying. Better put me on ignore.
I am in the same position, but it still hurts me when it drops.

Post 2744973 (copy this link) (by spooderman) (scraped on 2020-04-04_Sat_11.11h):
Price isn't driven by miners, but by traders and commodity speculation as has been amply demonstrated elsewhere.
This.
It's obvious that
price is not driven by difficulty, but
inflation does have an impact on price - at this stage inflation in BTC its non negligible, and its in fact built into the system to pay for the work and costs of mining during the early days of Bitcoin. Thus, looking at growing difficulty and expecting growing price is a fallacy (in fact its the other way around) - but nevertheless Bitcoin is currently inflating at a 12.5% yearly rate, and what miners do with those newly minted coints has inevitably an impact on price.
I believe that there will be lots of newly minted coins hitting the exchanges in late 2013, will just wait and see.
EDIT: in fewer words, wether miners decide to speculate (holding) or to pay for their fiat costs (selling the coins for good) has inevitably an immediate impact on price.
this is like concentrating on only one of your girlfriends butt cheaks, you know very well what the counter argument is.
Inflation rate of 12.5%, how is that even a point?
That's the fifth year in Bitcoin Survival= even if we assume linear and not exponential spread in bitcoin awareness, that's 20% more people using and storing value in BTC.
-7.5%
I love this bears latching onto a miners value case- they attribute psychological values wherever they please... when the price rose it was because everyone wanted to buy btc to buy asicminers, but asicminer wasn't selling his btc, even though 'asicminer is running it as a business' like they like to say whenever it suits them. suddenly asicminer and all the miners want to sell all their coins and only if the price dips, which is when they panic and drive the price further.
What about last year, when inflation rate was 25%, how come the price went up 1000%... and the year before when it was 40%, why did it go up 1000%? frankly if miners drive price I'm surprised it isn't at -0.1 cent
He didn't say difficulty drives price, he said it has a non negligible influence. Your numbers seem to support that. That said, I agree that counting on miners to sell out is a horrible assumption.
During the bear market in 2011 supply exceeded demand at a certain point and obviously the exchange rate tanked, and obviously the miners also had their role in that. What I never said is that miners were the ones causing the bear market, the bear market was caused by the bubble pop, and I just think that the same conditions can be met this year.
What a lot of rubbish. You haven't seen anything, you're just a bear and you've been jumping on bearish reasonings for ages.
All this aggressivity towards bearish opinions is amusing and quite telling. I'm not "jumping" on anything, I write what I see. If I'm mistaken and the price goes only UP from here, I will be very happy, I guarantee you that.
The 2011 bear market was not caused by the bubble pop. I was there, the situation today is profoundly different, you'll have to take my word for it I do not have the time to go in to detail.
Its going up to 180 before we see any dumps worth talking about, I have no doubt.
Ermmmm I'd be interested in hearing those details....

Bearish seems off the mark. Too predictable. I expect slow steady increase into the hundred, then 110+ in about 2 weeks, then fall to 105 and we never fall below 99 again.
Why?

350k BTC seems to be an insanely huge number.
Fuck it, even 120k is an insanely huge number for a simple website like satoshi dice. That's 1% of all current bitcoins for a concept that anybody can copy
I see it the same. For this reason, I'm beginning to favor this scenario:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=258066.msg2751829#msg2751829Still makes no sense.
120k btc = 12 million dollars for a simple website that can be developed for a tiny fraction of the cost, generates little to no revenue and currently stale, with lots of competition popping up.
If big casino owners know one thing, it's not to give money away. Something's fishy here.
120k BTC? That is one two hundreths of all the BTC there will ever be. That is absurd.

The whale purchase was because of the meeting: the officials passed some good news to the foundation people and they made the whale purchase.I think it's other way around:
Officials had nothing new to say to bitcoiners. Government talk to bitcoin community not by chatting on meetings but by issuing regulations and making seizures
The purpose of the meeting was not to
pass some information to the BTC people, but to
get it from them.
Therefore: the whale was not a bitcoiner, but one of the officials. After the meeting he decided to invest his personal money in BTC. And he has vested interest in BTC now.
tl;dr: The whale is our new secret ally in the enemy's camp
I "liek" your style, but how did he get his money into gox so fast?

This is what I would like to know. If you're willing to lose $100k+ to purchase and subsequently exit you would get a direct line to Gox to figure this out...unless of course..you want bitcoin and not $'s

This whole rally from $100 is pure manipulation
May be manipulated higher for sure, but on this volume, with no obvious new money, when the rug is pulled it will fall far and fast
So what? There are no bailouts in this market. The "manipulators" are risking real (well fiat LOL) and large amounts of money. In this market they can lose just like everyone else, and they stand to lose a lot if the market goes against them.
Did you think they can do whatever they want without the possibility of a bigger fish (or an entire school of minnows) gulping them up?

EM, what do you honestly expect to happen with bitcoin in the next 3-5 years?
Mtgox and/or Bitpay might be gone, SR still kickin but lots of competition from alts and technical problems.
I expect the Bitcoin community to be composed of Internet Libertarians for the entirety of the Project. It will be all about "spreading the word" still.
sr is here to stay unless dpr gets nabbed, but another would pop up in 48 hours
mtgox is already a zombie exchange
bitpay will either remain or get bought out by bigger players

From what I see, most of the volume on btcchina was back in april, though the price is almost as high as it was then....
edit: whoops, no it's not, still only about half of what it was before the bubble burst. So why do you say this?

All very nice, but people can't get fiat out of Gox so... what's the point?
This becomes more a myth as time goes on as we have seen $20million in volume last month. So either millionares are just parking USD @ gox for fun or they CAN get money out.
Can someone please settle this? Wasn't there a bounty offered to anyone who could prove that they had managed to get money out of Gox over the last few months? Was this claimed?

If you exclude the months of March and April this year, the total BTC volume traded on exchanges has been remarkably stable over the last two years (measured in BTC per month):
http://data.bitcoinity.org/#caaaaafiaayes but I think USD volume is more relevant than BTC.
I'm just thinking that when everyone's partying and there are no bears left I start smelling blood.
In other words I see no reason for this price move up. Baidu news? Naah, that address only got a few transactions and lots of spam.
So wtf is going on? To da moon? new paradigm? 300kUSD/xBT? The singularity? Don't think so.

The sting of $266 is still relatively fresh (about 4 times as fresh as the sting of $32, though that sting was much worse as price slid slowly to 1/16th and stayed very low instead of just a flash-crash to 1/5th and consolidation around 1/2).
However, if we trust zhangweiwu's analysis this thing could go huge for a few days then crash in China, taking the rest of the world along for the ride. All just a side show along the exponential highway to $10,000 and beyond.
This recent price action reminds me of early March, so maybe we consolidate for a week around $200, double a couple of times to like $800, crash to $250-300, then consolidate for a few months in the $500+ range. But of course history won't repeat so exactly.

Bit of a Dilemma. Obviously I'm a pretty shit trader - but checking my trading sheet, if I had simply bought
BTC at the time I moved money into Stamp since May - I would have bought at 101 - 120 and 125 and right now I would have nearly double the coins that I do having traded for 5 months! 5 months of stress just to break even
So having just gone back in at $190 - what to do?
Panic and sell when it crashes to 150?
seriously though....I lost 5 btc day trading and decided never to do it again. Long is the way forward.

Seems a lot of people like to over-analyze why they like to get drunk...luckily I come from a country where we don't need a reason, just an occasion
I think society would be better off legalizing the other drugs, too. Alcohol is one of the most harmful drugs to society in general and there's a widespread dependence problems due to social acceptance / norms. There's nothing to say against responsible use (as with any other drug), but once things escalate, alcohol can produce quite ugly situations.

There's a chance, albeit slim, that he might be trying to prevent the price from rising too quickly, to prevent a bubble pop like last April. I don't believe that, but I'd like to....
benevolent manipulation is always a possibility, but they would have to do it on the other exchanges too right? A way to test would be us all buying like mad on stamp and seeing if one gets plonked down there too.

Cash can enter Gox easily. Bids are irrelevant.

It's extremely possible there could be no big crash this time around. All the people selling now expecting a 3rd crash so they can buy back in will be fucked. Most of the last crashes involved some bad news of sorts. Things tend to happen twice in bitcoin, but not a third time. Don't be surprised if all we get are mini crashes on the way up. It's a good way to take coins from the weak hands who don't know what they have.
What bad news happened before 9 April 2013 ?
a fair question. well gox getting dosd made a lot of people panic, and if enough people panic a crash becomes unstoppable.

China doesn't seem to know what panic means, all this bear crap is making Bitcoin as tough as nails and multiple big markets are much stronger. This could go a long way.
That's cause pandas aren't really bears.

Is the issue that the bitcoin-qt clients simply do not propagate anything below the "minimum" fee, so the miners don't even get to decide whether to include them in blocks? If there are any threads about this I'd be curious to read them.
I've made several zero fee transactions. Am I missing something?
Yeah, that's because your tx met 3 conditions:
1) smaller than 10,000 bytes
2) All outputs were 0.01 BTC or larger
3) Its priority was large enough (priority = sum(input_value_in_base_units * input_age)/size_in_bytes)
This is basically because you have old coins.
If my transaction were to not meet all these conditions, and I made the transfer without a fee, would it ever get processed?

Gox price has come very close but has never quite reached the spot price of gold in USD.
At the time gox hit 1224.6 Kitco had gold at 1215 with the NY spot at 1224.

This could still be an epic bull trap, but most likely is just chilling here until chew chew up to 1300-1600 range that will make us all feel very nervous.

Lots and lots of coincidences, gox ddos'd into a go slow, China becomes invisible to westerners, terribly scary looking dumps, forum disappears, perfectly normal stuff in bitcoinland. That's a steady downtrend on the charts btw, it may look like its been kicked around by an adolescent whale-bear mutant but its really a steady downtrend. Trust us, we have TA
Whats TA?
Talking out of their Arse, its those charts with the squiggly line folks put up to show the clear co-relations between rainfall in Kenya and weekend dips and stuff, last one proved we're in a downtrend with a diagram of the 3 titted hooker from total recall.
lol. There are patterns that do hold though. Look at the last 4 months or so. Pretty much every sunday there is a big dump.

I use mtgox because I don't trust any other entity with much of my funds. We've seen many exchanges come and go (bitcoin24,bitcoin7,tradehill,bitparking etc) but mtgox has been here all the time.
I see it the same. MtGox sucks, but at least they probably won't go away. Here is a relevant paper trying to quantify those risks:
http://lyle.smu.edu/~tylerm/fc13.pdfGox had 80% share back when that was made.
It starts : Bitcoin has enjoyed wider adoption than any previous crypto-currency.
Wasn't it the first?

slowly falling on low volume is not bullish.
but from where i'm standing their was nothing slow about the fall, and it wasnt on low volume
where are you standing?
i remember you saying slowly falling on low volume is bullish like 5 times! And I'm not saying we have been, I'm saying we're doing the opposite - slowly rising on low volume.

Good morning from Europe and hello to everyone saying that going all fiat is stupid. You were, as always, right.
My only hope now is a sharp downward movement during the next three days, and knowing my luck, that will not happen.
This week saw me 3 BTC down, though almost at the same $ value. The worst decision was to sell at 804, after I auto-bought at 901 (down from 960), expecting the second down-leg.
Hopefully, we are at a local top before the week-end, so I am still in fiat. And I am in dire need of a second chance. Knowing Bitcoin, that chance would come, I just simply need not to botch it.
good luck my friend.
wait a minute?! what am I saying?!?

Nice, thanks a lot for that. I gotta say, it actually got me kind of scared. There were just too many moments where I could completely relate to the BTC world and also lots of specific frases which I read here often such as: "it will weed out weak hands".
Mass delusion is a pretty dangerous thing. We gotta be careful over here.
yes I constantly felt that throughout the film. The arrogance is the same, but we are humans too. It's inevitable.
It's important to point out that Enron did absolutely nothing, it was noise over nothing. Bitcoin has an emancipatory potential for everyone. The greed is awful, but at least we may be improving the status quo somewhat.
edit: I particularly feel that the way Enron enjoyed California's blackouts is similar to how we enjoy things like Cyprus 'haircuts.' Feels bad.

Just wanted to point out, it's still higher than when RP invited us "to join the bears" this happened on Nov18th when it jumped up to 900 quickly. People joining bears then would have sold between 500-700 and missed out on 1k+ for sure.

Oh and also: even an all-knowing god might not be able to predict the future. If he could, why would he even run the world. Makes no sense.
Exactly. If we say BTC correlates with ice cream sales, then it will!

Why does everyone hate Heineken.
It's one of the worst beers in the world that barely deserves the name beer.
If you have any respect for your taste buds you should limit yourself to Belgian beers and a select few from other countries.
There is only ONE good beer coming from the Netherlands and thats La Trappe.
Here's a tip, if you have any respect for Bitcoin, the next time one of the largest consumer brands in the world decides to help us out, instead of shit talking their product why don't you just smile, suck it up, and take one for the team.
Lol
Three issues with this post:
1. They did what they're doing for profit, not to help us out. Bitcoin is wonderful for merchants.
2. The idea that a company as large as this would read this forum and get butthurt and then change their "mind" is LOL.

I don't think it will go much lower anymore in the short term. Even if they sell it to zero in China does not mean that the west would not have competition on who would get the cheap coins. Short term we are very oversold and it is only a liquidity/waking hours issue to go back up. The fact that there is a huge arbitrage coin influx from China dampens it a "little bit", though, but this is already in prices in the west.
The exponential trend (now at $437) was touched, which means that longer term bitcoin is no more overvalued. I regard this as a good entry point and have bought thousands of bitcoins yesterday and today, closing all speculative short positions at a nice profit and gone speculative long with funds I need in 1-2 months.
My last bid in Bidstamp is sitting at 421.42, please somebody sell into it!
Welcome back!
It would be nice if you're right. I think the 300s are gonna get hurt myself.

I am a pig, and I actually did well. I sold at 800 because I felt nervous, wanting to get back initial investment. Bought back as it fell, which was never part of my plan, but now have almost as many btc as before, but with a lot of fiat too. So my BTC position is down, but I have way more fiat than I ever put in. Sweet.

Have you heard of turtle trading? Simplest trading system-- I think it goes, if up 20 days (or whatever in BTC), then buy, if 20 down, sell. Has very good followers and record. Funny.
So... buy high, sell low?
Lol. Brilliant.
It's only the chinese and regular folks prone to panic who are dumping.
The real whales are accumulating at these prices.
Don't take my word for it. Go back a few pages and carefully read Loaded's posts. They are quite telling (and bullish).....
I speculate he's one of the whales who are dumping right now, in order to buy back lower, because it just makes sense.
I mean hey guys I know you all need a hero figure but he is a portfolio manager! Making money for his customers is his job.
I speculate that he dumped close enough to the top and he cashed out fiat. Then he flew to China with bags of cash, and he gave them directly to Bobby Lee in order to deposit them on his BTCChina account. The he slowly bought coins, causing the price rise in BTCChina.
And now he is closing the circle and dumping again, for a second final round of this "squeeze-a-nob" game.
Yes, that's all certainly possible.
My only point is that if real big whales are accumulating (either at 300 or 500), it's because they know they will soon have ROI. They know the accumulation game is coming to an end.
2014 will make the $1240 top a joke.

I don't think China was such a good idea after all.
Whose idea was it?
I am talking about all the people ejaculating about it in the past months expecting them to be the future of Bitcoin, contrarily to the US, and those who had the impression that the Chinese government was favorable towards Bitcoin because it let it run on some TV channels.
In my view, Bitcoin has the least future in authoritarian countries.
I think authoritarians may love it, given that it's not anonymous. BTC is preferable to cash in some ways. (Although obviously less favorable in most other ways, given that they can't control the supply of it, but being able to track the circulation of it PERFECTLY does speak to authoritarians...)
But no I agree, BTC in China never made sense to me. This rally was doomed to fail. However, we have crashed to way above the April peak it seems. I think we can all agree that the lowest price a person could reasonably sell a bitcoin is in the 400s.

Sell at 650, and buy back at 450 => 44% more coins.
Sell at 650, and stop-loss buy at 1170 => 44% less coins.
So if you estimate that the pullback has any greater than 50% probability to happen, you should sell a part of your holdings. Simple as that.
Don't oversimplify things, please. You have a point, but you can't conclude your argument with: "simple as that". You make at least one (implicit) assumption: a linear risk/reward preference.
Let me fix this
Sell Buy at 650, and
buy sell back at
450 1170 => 44% more
coins fiat.
Sell Buy at 650, and stop-loss
buy sell at
1170 450 => 44% less
coins fiat.

something's up someone knows something we don't.
Actually, given that it has stayed the same on i286, but plummeted on blockchained must mean that someone moved all their coins from gox to another exchange.....that means.... PMG11! SLEE ALL TEH CIONS
edit: this is genuinely a reasonable conclusion.

Recapping:
1. I'm chewing through organofcorti's stuff. Thanks for that.
2. Should've looked more deeply into BTCGuild's case. After your input I see today is probably more luck related, based on lack of orphans. I do agree however with the statement that "they never cheated" is not enough of an answer. That is conformism (equally bad as my not looking deep enough).
3. None of this absolves Ghash (or other past known cases).
4. Prevention really is better than cure.

There are two entities controlling over half the network hash rate.
I'd rate it pretty low.
In it's current state it's healthy until it's not.
I would feel much more comfortable if P2Pool was over half the global hash rate.
It just found a block

No, it's not as simple as pointing your miners at it. You need to run a full node and you need to run the P2Pool software as well. As I said, it's quite a lot more work for the miner.
Yet, there are several advantages. No need to trust a pool operator with your mining income is a major one. No DDoS. Network health is also a major one.
Here is the P2Pool thread if you want to learn more:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=18313.0There are details about how to set it up in the first post. I think my guide is probably out dated.
Thanks very much. I'm gonna switch to p2p.

Yeah, we are going to have ONE LAST LOW. And its coming over the next 48-60 hours with the weekend dip. And then on January 6th it will be higher than it is today. So you better buy the dip that's coming - which will probably be around $720 on Stamp.
I hope you're right too. But unless all that Mtgox support is fake, I don't see it happening.
I panic bought some at $850 and will probably be holding unless there's terrible news or someone market orders for 5000.
A weekend dip aint what I'm talking about. I was more promised some 400 - 500 coins (stamp). Guess I'm gonna be stuck with some fiat.

Tomorrow there will be a weekend low and that will be the best time to buy. Next week will test new levels of resistance.
Brave words...I'll make a note.
Please do. I haven't been wrong about a specific call I've posted on here yet.
Oh, come now. No one takes that condescending bullshit seriously.
I recall one post specifically because it was in response to me, when price was just over $200 in October.
I would bet we don't end the year more than $20 up or down from where we are today.
Then I thought, let's have a look.
I do not see a lot of investment coming in during the holidays. Certainly not to push us up another $55-60 in the next 2 months. Especially since there are still some people who would just be happy to break even from the April crash, even more so during the holidays.
I don't think we will see ATHs until 2014.
It will be institutional investors that eventually get us to $1000+. Mom and pop can get us to new highs, but the BTC markets need billions of new capital investments into its coffers to get to 4 digits and beyond.
[...]
I still think this is probably at least over a year away.
I would not expect us to break above 266 before mid December or into the new year. If we do, we are probably headed for another sizeable dip.
There really is no resistance for a loooong time after $1000. $1500 maybe, but $2000 really is the next resistance after that. And 10000 cyn which is about $1630. Have some serious resistance there.
So all of you hoping for $400-$500 coins better prey some big hands come in and bust resistance downward. Otherwise, $600 is probably the best you will see in this rally.
3 days before the move to capitulation:
After studying these markets daily, I believe I have a pretty good pulse on where things are going. Here are my 2 cents currently.
There is a groundswell of buying pressure sitting off to the sidelines and its growing. Its growing for 2 reasons. First, most traders are not 100% bitcoin at the moment. Just look on this mostly bullish forum. Most of us are partly fiat right now. We have $$$ sitting on the sidelines. Second,
there is a lot of new money coming into the exchanges that are not buying right away. That is why the bid sum is increasing. People want to invest, but do not necessarily want to invest if the price is going to go lower.
So every possible mid term scenario (minus a catastrophic one, which always exists) has one final result - an strong upswing in which the money is forced to come back into the market. This will eventually cause another large rally. To where, I do not know. But it is coming.
I think there are 3 near/mid term scenarios. I will list them most unlikely to most likely.
A. Incredibly bullish news spurns the market upward suddenly forcing the money on the sidelines back in causing a new huge rally.
B. The market consolidates where it is (around $900) for 1-4/5 weeks. This would be the most bullish scenario and would be similar to the consolidation around $120-$130 a few months ago.
C. The market ebbs sideways and downward over the holidays as the holiday season wins the news cycles and people hold off on investing and sending more funds to markets. In this scenario, we DO NOT reach another low past the $600ish already established. This would be very similar to the April rally where people expected it to test the low of $50s but it only got to $66, because everyone wanted to buy low.
I think C is most likely given the holidays. We will trend sideways to down, we will start a slow upswing sometime before $600. Somewhere from Dec. 30th to Jan. 31st that upswing will gain momentum and by sometime in February we will be in full fledge rally mode again. I also think this scenario could happen before February as well.
The best you can hope for is a sideways to downward movement lasting 2-6 weeks, but never going below $600. Thats best case scenario for you.
Just like I said, we may go lower but we are not going lower than 600 because everyone is watching there.
And the underlining mood of this market is bullish. Eventually we are going to hit a price where the money on the sideline says this is low enough. Then after the holidays when more institutional money comes in away we will go.
Or alternately we will go up anytime because honey badger don't give a SHIT.
If you see a downtrend that gets heavy resistance before $600 you should buy.
There is way too muchl money sitting on the sidelines for the market to fall far. And when it comes back in he market will have established its floor.
Most people are looking at 600 the same way they did 50. So on a down trend I would expect the buying to start between $620-$700.
We made a higher low on 12-20 and have not revisited it. You said:
Look. I hear you. I actually agree with most of what you said. However, as much as it gets blasted TA is very effective in calling patterns. And technically speaking we have at least 1 more leg down. I might not make new lows, but still, it would be shocking if it did not happen.
What are your thoughts regarding this now:
I think we hang out in a $20-$40 range for a bit before testing the ATHs early next year, but that doesn't mean even 2014 want see some days (or hours) under 150.
It seems your views have changed. Were you right then, or right now?
We are already seeing an issue with people not wanting to invest at $200. I think the psychological challenges of the cost of a single bitcoin for a potential new investor will dampen the market to a degree. Unless we see the exchanges moving to a lower denomination than BTC, I think our growth from here on out will not be exponential. I could see us at $500-$1000 next year best case scenario. However, as the price rises, the growth curve will be dampened, no doubt.
this is amazing. someone needs to make a thread comprised entirely of wrong predictions and faulty assertions. some people are shameless and never learn.

Why do people dump now? How do they think? "Well the price is going up, lets quickly dump before i make more money by putting up a sell order around 900"?
the people who are dumping now are the ones who bought coins before we took off and are taking profits (out of the pockets of those who bought coins during the rally itself).
Great. Now read my post again.
hes right... day traders might be dumping profits right about here
but, no one is really dumping...
the market appears safe, i think we can rally to 900 in a few days time.
Isn't it a little early to make that judgment? All the supports are pretty much crippled.
we will see
1000$ is a nice target top if you ask me
i've been selling,i think you'd would get me to sell 1 more at 1000$.... money i love it
, everyone knows i'd love to see the price drop to 520.1001 but i feel the bullishness! no market moves like bitcoin.... i was still doing countdowns at 800-900 because fuck bitcoin might just be the best performing asset in the world every year for the next 30years!

wtf is this? are we rabid dogs?
i just made as much as i made in the previous 9-day period in the last hour not efficient in the slightest, guys. prepare for some serious profit-taking at the end of this ride
sometimes i believe the whole bit about speculators enhancing liquidity and such but other times i think it's a load of shit and all of this volatility is greed and fear manifested. good job newbs
Arepo it appears to me you are losing your cool fast as you did not believe we were essentially past the China bubble.
Please tell me at what point you will accept that this thing is going to be much bigger much quicker than you thought it would be?
not sure what you mean. the bolded statement should have made it clear that i was in proper position for this -- it in no way took me by surprise. i'm quite pleased with the profits, actually
however, we are far above the trendline now and we're going to pay for it later.
and boom! there she goes! big spike down, was 890 stamp the short-medium term top?

I recall rpietila prediction about going to 800 than crashing all the way down to 400 and staying there for some time, I really want to hear his input about the late events, because you all trashed me because of being a bit aggressive about of his prediction
he logs everyday and he doesn't post a single word, if you are reading this I am still interested on your fancy predictions and especially the way you drag the noobs by bragging about the expensive cigars and the money you have...
Didn't he promise not to post before $350?
Well he's broken that promise if so. He accurately predicted the fall. So did walsoraj. He also invited us to "JOIN THE BEARS," the first time it hit 900. Of course anyone who did so would have missed the run up to 1200, though still could have bought back in and increased their position true if they were patient.

I don't blame Risto for his predictions. He was basing them on a log-linear line in the growth adoption curve. He may very well be readjusting that because it appears we are on a much faster growth curve as seen on these charts:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=322058.msg4227521#msg4227521well, he has such an ego, people with that kind of ego make great things in life but cant hold to them, at the time when I proved him wrong he could just admit that he was wrong, but he kept bitching about his millions and he even said "you should listen to people who has much than you" and I like the club thing that he has to bring all the time, "a Pro trader like me" hahahaha and " my clients" and "my club" , I mean get the fuck out idiot...
Is that your ego speaking?
no, I even told him that I will apologize publicly here if he will share a screen shot of his bids to make sure that they reflect the actual prediction, but did he ? yes he did show me a screen shot of 1.4 million dollar sitting there on stamp, so again he wanted to show me how rich he was....
I agree that he is totally caught up in is ego, but he does have mental issues doesn't he?
What I meant is that to let yourself get wound up, annoyed and agressive, means that your own ego has been triggered/threatened. Just let RPI sail on his own little cloud...
This is nice advice.

This can't be right! You are predicting $1mil by the end of 2014!
Since I made that chart, i'll say use it with caution. If you make any trading decisions based on that chart you are on your own. It only contains data for part of the period, after the first large bubble in 2011. It also has to be expanded with a S-kind of ending at the top since it will obviously flatten out when saturation is reached. But it gives the best fit to the data for that time period.
Whoa!!! Are you saying there's a chance of BTC not hitting 1mil in 2014?!?! I already mortgaged my house and my family based on your analysis!

No the people in jail in Colorado for having weed will still stay in jail for the next 10 to 20 years unless the Prez lets them out. And since weed is still illegal on the Fed level that wont happen.
The Fed Govt could raid Colorado and jail everyone in Fed jail if they wanted to.

I predict March-April is going to be huge for the US. TAX RETURNS pouring into the exchange(s).
I don't think any bitcoiners are getting taxes RETURNED. More likely they owe a crap load of tax, so actually they need to dump.
if you sell off bitcoins to pay tax, you'll have to pay tax on that as well. I don't think a lot of people are going to be selling much...
1)April is a lifetime from now, nobody knows where the price will be.
2)
Can't retire without selling a few coins... Sooner or later, some taxes are going to get paid...
I agree. It's frustrating, but so far my method has been to sell the maximum I can each year while remaining under the capital gains threshold. Since this is so low, it means hodling at least 95% a year.

That's great for pocket change, but a bit harder to manage when its time to buy that castle. Especially if you are not in a heavily populated area.
Yes I love localbitcoins, but if bitcoins are worth 6 figures I think selling one at Starbucks for cash may pose problems. It's awkward enough at the current rates...

You're betting on a new ATH after only a month-long correction? How do you figure that? This has never happened in bitcoin. Even the smallest corrections from very early on were at least 2 months and the average correction is 6 months.
You're maybe right, maybe we need one more consolidation before ATH happens, but that's the max we could need imo.

If people were deciding to get out of gox one by one, might we not see the effect of the price rising slightly on gox and falling slightly on stamp, hence a sustained gap between the two?
Obviously, this being exactly what we do see, implies people are slowly but surly moving away from gox.

It surprises me that no one see's the obvious. Large manipulators wait for negative PR and then take the opportunity to start the drop, knowing that people will attribute it to the news and panic.
Holding is not because you're sticking with your internet friends, its because by and large individual amateur investors are going to have a really hard time timing the market properly and not losing money. You will lose less if you just step away and stop thinking about it. It's either going to be worth millions or nothing at all. You joined up for this ride, so don't quit your day job.
And please, stop complaining.
This.
I don't think many people here realise what it means now these Wall St. sharks are circling and amongst us ... they'll be picking you off one at a time like the ripe fat whales you are.
I've been watching/trading the Gold market for 18 years and you guys have no fucking clue what's coming ... it's not going to be pretty.
From here on out, either you're in bitcoin for the long haul and the protection of assets it provides or you're gonna lose most everything .... especially if you think you can out trade these guys with their trading algorithms, bots, deep pockets and propaganda machine ... they'll out psyche you every time and then take your money when you are beat ...

This all from a 30-day chart. So I'd say we have about a day or two more max before we move up with any significance -- and break out the choo choo memes -- again.

not a significant number, no. that is a good thing.
currency is rather different from hard goods. its value is not derived from stock levels, but from flow. no flow, no value. long term holders don't care much about the price, which is a temporary condition resulting from instantaneous supply and demand. they care more about value, which is a long term attractor of price, and determines the
sustainable price levels.
This is a good point, I hadn't thought of this. And of course my original post neglected to mention the other amazing things about BTC that that Argentinian guy talks about that made me UBERBULL the other day.....I might start watching that video every morning.

At some point unknown is going to be 50-75% imo, because ultimately 2-3 more big time corporate server farms are going to pop up to be able to compete with BTCGuild, then when that happens Ghash, and these other 2-3 companies will be solo mining and BTCGuild will gain all the other smaller pools and end up being the bitcointalk user miner pool.

Market is being held up by artificial bot trading to allow enough Bid pressure to build up to absorb some fuckers bumper cash outs.
I speculate that there are stabilizer bots and destabilizer bots: the former ones are built to keep the price in a certain range and the latter ones are made to make waves and wipe the floor from the former ones before a whale makes a big manipulative move.
Robots are KEWL. I love a WILL(Y)ing robot...

Anyone with funds on gox has known the scare for long enough to get out. There have been times where it's even been the same price as stamp. The 35ish million on there is irrelevant to the btc price IMO. And hopefully many agree with me (adam making the polls about stamp's price, chartbuddy making stamp BIG :] etc.) Shame the media will talk of gox price first usually.
Point being, panic buying on gox because of "last opportunity to get out" argument is a fail. These people don't want their stuff out of the btc world. That 35 million is play money for traders.

I imagine that, as the value is in the asset associated with a coloured bitcoin, rather than the bitcoin itself, a Satoshi would function just as well as a bitcoin for that purpose, to merely place a record on the blockchain.
It would, if you could get it into the chain. But current software gives zero priority to transactions smaller than a gavin.

I would not be shocked if Mark was dumb enough to show up something like that he got his ass kicked or killed. Stealing 100 million dollars from people gets them pissed off. Lots of crazy people in this community.
However I bet Mark is smart enough he will never leave Japan. Odds are the US govt would get him first anyway for his dealings with drug money and money laundering. I would not be shocked to see him on the FBIs most wanted list one day soon.
What a ray on sunshine you are!

Sneer and cajole and ridicule. One thing they cannot survive is mockery, because it subverts the illusion of competence and legitimacy. Virtual currency is play money.

Once a viable exchange comes online in the US, and governments are done cleaning up the illicit side of bitcoins (tumblers, localbitcoins unregistered users, drug/weapon trading sites, people who don't report taxes--they can find you now or later....its not worth it), the price will skyrocket.
It's just a matter of time. Campbx doesn't have a bank any longer at the moment, and CoinMKT is just getting started, Secondmarket is serving the affluent.......it's just a matter of time though before Bitcoin goes up after major illicit flows are slowed enough and regulated banks back the exchanges. So I am a holder. The monkeys like coindesk and kids who post here who trade on misleading media so they can make a dime shorting will fade. The utility of cryptocurrency is just too high; the disruption has already started and can't be stopped.
All the fools who speak of bitcoin replacing centralized banking are simply, well, foolish. It will never happen, but bitcoin has it's place as some fraction due to the utility in certain situations (world wide standardized, fast+easy with simple addressses, no middle party, irreversible). I bet we will see banks who have their own bitcoin layer "banks" on top of their banks as a way to keep that capital in-house, give their customers a way to get access to the good side of bitcoin transactions when they need it. With traceable transactions supplied by having confirmed identities tied to addresses. The only other option it seems banks have is to create their own cryptocurreny "coins" layer (eg is this what chase is doing?), but that almost certainly seems doomed as it won't be a standard that works internationally and for everyone.
Personally I can't wait to see anonymous side of bitcoin get hacked away (tumblers, start to add social identities to wallets so people can trust each other and the governments are comfortable about taxes and what is being traded). And its just a matter of time before these anonymous supporting people who are involved in bitcoin get weeded out; it's clear why they want anonymous and the gov is picking them off one by one as their hidden reasons for supporting it are exposed and they wind up in jail. I won't be surprised too if we see some existing companies get strung up on charges around fraud for hedging customer assets and their own.
yay government + 'murica = bitcoin finally usable. It has been useless up until now....

core tech? adam, I know you're just up, but seeing as this is your thread I feel the need to make sure you properly get this (assuming my understand is correct):
gox has blamed a bug in the btc protocol. It is actually not a bug, it's just how btc works at the moment. and work it does. what gox has done is used the wrong data to perform a task, when there is data that is reliably usable. Other exchanges have not made this mistake.
Saying this is the fault of bitcoin is inaccurate.
However, if you are calling gox's code "core tech" that is actually semi-reasonable given that it is responsible for so much movement of btc.

Indeed. The most egregious thing about their statement was the heavy implication that Bitcoin as a whole was flawed and that other exchanges were vulnerable.
Utterly irresponsible.
its a problem...
sure mtgox could have checked the TX another way, and avoided this problem.
but the fact that TX can be "renamed" after being sent, is a problem....
its not a huge problem, doesn't break the system, but it does make for some confusion.
there must be other services that rely on the tx hash to say the same, but until the dev team solves this problem app. cannot rely on the TX hash to stay the same.
the market reacted like it should have, some poeple panicked as they didn't understand what this means, and then price bounced right back to where it was, because most poeple understand this isn't much of a problem.
this is another reason why alt cons suck balls, its bitcoin that is paving the way, will these alts really be put to the same kind of stress test as bitcoin? i think not. therefore the are way less valuable.
excellent point. also, the idea that the first mover has the disadvantage of having to pave the way, while the second mover gets none of the initial problems, but can alter itself slightly thus making itself far more useful doesn't apply to software in the way that it may do to other products/services. the beauty is that btc can change at the drop of a hat should we all want it to.

[Press Release - MtGox] New security features mean that MtGox is worlds most secure exchange.
Tokyo - Tuesday February 10th 2014.
START
Today MtGox(Tibanne ltd.) announced industry beating security features meaning that MtGox is now the worlds most secure Bitcoin exchange. Featuring security measures utilised by National reserves, MtGox now holds Bitcoins in the same fashion as most world central banks. This means that while you can trade on the exchange itself, the newly employed unswerving model of trust means that Bitcoins are held in a secure depository alongside cash reserves so secure that no unauthorised persons may gain access.
Speaking on the matter, MtGox's CEO Mark Karpeles stated that he had been inspired by PHP and central banking: "We knew that PHP could do anything, our wallet software had proven this beyond a doubt, so we started to ask if PHP could implement a central banking reserve type system. We were delighted with the results. This means that no-one can ever steal our customers money."
MtGox is delighted to announce that all customers will now receive this feature free of charge. This will mean that all funds will be secure in their permanent position meeting both Chinese and US regulatory requirements. MtGox expects that the US Treasury will release a statement later today in support of MtGox's new security technology. Customers should remain assured that MtGox will still accept deposits despite the new security features.
END
CCMF!!! Gox is best!
Erm, if that's a genuine gox statement, it seems odd that they got the date wrong.

That was the bottom of the bear market. I've seen it several times before and that's what it looked like. You can quote me on that.
LOL. All big dumps from here on out will be profit taking and not people cutting their losses. The weak hands lost their grip and gave us their coins. We're coming out of the valley and onto the plains, building up speed for the next mountain range.
There haven't been any cheap coins if you are trying to purchase from Coinbase. They are still at $700 aside from the 5 minutes this early morning (Eastern Time) when they went down.
There was a period where they were in the 630s. I bought a little and went back to sleep. Americans don't cower when we get scared. We find somebody's ass to kick.

bullish. You can get money in, you can buy crazy cheap coins, you will be able to get them out again soon. (they're not fucking insolvent, Mark would be found and murdered straight away.)
Meanwhile, stamp is double the price?? At first I thought the "malleability issue" was a joke and entirely the fault of gox's poor heigene, then the other exchanges followed suit, and silk road 2. So if this is a legit issue with btc itself, and we are capable of understanding that that doesn't really matter as the protocol can and will be changed whenever it is required by enough of us, the only reason for the doom and gloom is....people just don't like gox, but the reason for that should be because of the FIAT withdrawal problem which they have had for months and months, yet it DOESN'T SEEM TO BE.

They deserve to go down because either they don't have the coins or they try to manipulate the market to make a profit. Just WOW, such machiavellian exchange.
Someone put an email they received from Gox up here that said the coins had not been stolen or spent (if I remember correctly). How likely you think that's the truth depends on your point of view I guess.
Why would Gox send such emails even if its true?

Nothing, and this is what will happen. Gox will pull down the other exchanges through selling pressure if withdrawals are re enabled.
Withdrawals do not even need to be enabled. Its not illegal for Mtgox to buy coins on their own exchange and sell it on other exchanges right? It takes about what 1-2 week to withdrawal from Bitstamp back to a Mtgox bank account? As long as there is a large disparity between the exchanges and Mtgox, Gox cnd post whatever bullshit about withdrawal delays and they can make profit through exchange fees and arbitraging at stamp. People are already protesting them, what worst can happen? The are getting rich no matter what.
then the only way to thwart them would be to match their price exactly

I know nothing about TA but is that a "head and shoulders" forming on 15m chart on stamp? That is supposed to be bullish I believe?
Inverse H&S, yes. We'd need to hold $560 and then break out above $590 with a surge in volume. Measured target in that scenario would be $650 calculated as $590 neckline + ($590 neckline - $530 head).
Thanks for the explanation! Now I feel a bit less dumb. Seeing there seems to have just been a 1K+ btc dump on stamp I assume it's safe to say that we didn't break out, but break down. So it was a fake Head & shoulders! Gotta watch out for that, you'll get dandruff.
You're welcome. $560 held so the pattern is still valid, however we'd need to drive up from here and then break through $590 with gusto volume-wise. Hard to see that happening absent Gox unGoxing itself.
On the plus side I now have a substitute in my lexicon for the F word
oh for gox sake!

Today on #bitcoin
gmaxwell: wumpus: yea, I understand they had timed automatic reissues... Sad this was also something I didn't know prior to monday before last and is one of the other reasons my "they couldn't have lost much!" position softened to "I have no freeking clue."
alpha125: gmaxwell: where did you find out abotu the automatic reissues?
gmaxwell: alpha125: from mtgox staff and magicaltux ... I had assumed previously that any reissues were manual via customer support but apparently it was just timed.
gmaxwell: you'll also note that they've kept increasing their fees and then even mad paying fees mandatory.
gmaxwell: This suggested to me that they totally misunderstood their problems. (and— I reported that I believed this months ago too)
gmaxwell: e.g. they noticed lots of txn getting stuck, they didn't understand it was because they were producing invalid txn (even though it was reported to them) and so they thought it was just 'full blocks'
gmaxwell: and they increased their fees from 0.0001 to 0.0005 — which was enough to may more than virtually every txn— and then later to 0.001 which is basically astronomic. And then they made it mandatory.
gmaxwell: of course their stalled txn had nothing to do with fees.
Edit: Just to clarify, only quoted relevant parts (maybe I should have inserted "[...]" where applicable). Full text here:
http://pastebin.com/DaSph9uTOMFG I was unaware of these facts! This is MINDBLOWING. How gox is still (sort of) going is beyond me. They were warned about all this, and they thought fees would solve their problems? I remember my last withdrawal from them annoying me because of having to pay what I though was a huge fee! (Well it was like a weeks mining profit for me!) My understanding of bitcoin is MINIMAL. I am not a techy type AT ALL, and I understood the mandatory transfer fee to be absurd. How the f$%& did these guys make their own custom wallet software and not lose everything when they make mistakes like this?

Post 5286916 (copy this link) (by spooderman) (scraped on 2020-04-04_Sat_12.15h):
I think Jorge's point that logical systems are brittle is well-taken. They are also robust, within their domain. Some are provably correct. Others have extensive stress testing which gives us high confidence in them. Many are not provably correct. Many have little stress testing. Often even very well designed systems have usability flaws which increase the likelihood of operator error resulting in risk or outright harm.
All of which is completely off-topic, but then this is the de facto off-topic thread, and I resemble that remark.
In any case, the primary point I take from that discussion is that one should try to cover for other's errors, in order to be an effective cooperator.
Well, I kinda feel bad now for being so harsh with Jorge - he really seems a nice guy, and for sure its much better to have him in here than the other thousands trolls that are flooding this forum since October.
What is kinda annoying of him IMO is that he clearly has a lack of understanding of fundamental things linked to Bitcoin, and instead of silently reading and learning what was discussed in the past and try to complement that, he just spits the same old arguments that have been discussed (and debunked) thousands of times before.
Practical example: the "ponzi scheme" thing. We already had an intellectual/economist on the forum who explained us many times and with Jorge's very same words how Bitcoin was a ponzi on the verge of collapse: his moment of glory was during the crash of 2011, and he went to great lengths to explain how Bitcoin was a zero-sum game in which early adopters were assraping late adopters. He cheered with joy during the crash from $32 to $2, but we all know how that played out: the "bag-holders" as he called them (did you think you invented that word, Jorge?) are now holding a bag worth hundreds of times more it was worth during this infamous character's rants. The name of this guy is John Nagle, and you can find his profile
here and
here a nice web with which he embarassed himself.
And BTW, Mr. Stelfi: please point to us an example of a ponzi scheme which has seen 3 different "boom and bust" cycles in which price deflated as much as it did with Bitcoin, to then recover in such a way as Bitcoin did. Just FYI:
2011: $32 to $2 (-94%)
mid-2013: $266 to $50 (-81%)
late 2013: $1242 to $400ish (-68%)
Maybe because BTC is
not a "zero-sum game", or a "ponzi" or a "bubble", despite that's what its critics have said of it from its very inception. Maybe there's much more to it than its mere utility as money, maybe (and only maybe) the distributed blockchain is the promise of a revolution that brings an increased freedom for the people.
I'm afraid that to see that you probably have to look deeper into it.
Jorge, do yourself (and the community) a favor and listen to this guy. He's one of the most knowledgeable and well-spoken individuals on this forum and when he tells you that
you need to study the topic more deeply then that is what you probably should do.
When I see your posts I am constantly lamenting the fact that someone with your obvious level of intelligence and attention to detail doesn't use his abilities to come up with new worthwhile ideas (as I'm sure you could) from which the community could benefit, but instead spends his time and energy rehashing arguments of days long past and observing sleep patterns of Chinese people...
Challenge yourself to change your mind every once in a while! I hear it's good for your sanity. I'm not saying you need to become a bulltard cheerleader so you fit in better in the circle jerk. Just open your mind a little bit more, don't worry it won't fall out. Also I know that you are strictly not a holder of bitcoin (presumably so it doesn't affect your "objectivity" in judging it) but as has been said many times before - the experience of owning some btc and using it yourself is beyond description and without this particular experience you can't ever hope to approach anything resembling an "objective opinion" on the technology.
I am a bulltard cheerleader. I can't contribute any code as I don't know how, other than that, bulltard cheerleading doesn't seem so absurd. I don't have any doubt about btc being the future, the price is a poor indicator of its potential.

My feeling is this ascending triangle has to break soon, and then we can get back to the basic log-linear model that we've been following so far. This implies we will see 6000 in roughly 3 weeks.

I'm suprised there haven't been more of these types of walls all along. They used to be normal, and then disappeared in July. The mtgox orderbook used to have 200K COINS on it during bear markets. Bitstamp currently has only roughly 20K coins. If Bitstamp is becoming the major exchange and then rest of the exchanges are either dying off or being proven to have fake volume, then I should expect bitstamp to be at least somewhat more like mtgox used to be. For example 80K coins on the book might be appropriate.
coins are worth 10x what they used to be....

This is probably a good of a time as any to just make a long term investment in bitcoin or at least take a starter position (with money you can afford to lose) and then look away from it. It might go lower than this but if btc survives then it will probably be back above these levels rather quickly. Then you might have missed not only the bottom but this level also, and you'll feel really dumb. It might even be better than the risks involved with having fiat on exchanges at this point. If bitcoin REALLY crumbles then the exchanges might go down with it and youll have nothing. Also withdraw enough fiat so you can have a comfortable life and be satisfied with your winnings in the event that that bitcoin does crumble. I'm thinking of perhaps allocating as follows:
40% cold storage.
20% fiat on exchanges.
40% withdrawal (20% fiat and 20% gold)
I thought everyone said that once MTgox has fucked off, BTC would come back stronger than ever.
Where is the faith? Dear sir.

Almost 50 minutes since the last block. No wonder you didn't get a confirmation yet.
Hm only 4 blocks the last 2h. And over 4000 transactions are waiting. The last 6 blocks had a average of 932 transactions...
90 minutes here without single confirmation.
you guys really should learn how bitcoin works, check the blockchain
NO NEW BLOCKS YET - it happens.
You should realise that blockchain.info is not the be all and end all of what has occured blockchain-wise.

soo.. was today an..
...insider trading?!
Feels like it probably was.... problem is, insider trading with bitcoin is not illegal... :S
Also... btc-e and houbi moving up even without bitstamps consent?
question is, what are they inside? the protocol itself? with bitcoin it feels more like outsider trading. i.e someone bringing something new to the table who is the first to know about it.
edit: obviously, not including all the gox crap. there has been insider info, the negative kind up until now, but I feel this is decreasing rapidly.

Go to the service subforum and the main Bistamp thread: user/hazek just answered my question about this issue. They apologize (sort of) for the glitch, he says happened while they rolled out an engine update, and he says the seller will be reimbursed. Bit monosyllabic, but in principle, the response I was hoping for when I asked yesterday and wrote about in several places.
This will mislead all these TA-ninja boys for the next 100 days

Bulls are equally or even more obnoxious during a rally with quotes like "haha look at all the idiot bears" and "nothing like the smell of burnt bear and the sound of bear tears in the morning", etc.
yes but bears exist everywhere else, gloating in the MSM everytime bitcoin has a bad day. We are the ones on the fringe who are trying to change the status quo. This is our domain. The bitcoin forum. People here who like to see bitcoin fail (in so much as the price falling) are truly bringing any criticism/gloating upon themselves.

Wild guess on timeframes? <500 before the end of this month, >1000 by the end of April.
I did quite well accumulating between 500 and 450 the last 2 big dips, I'm still thinking we could see the mother of all triple bottoms before April hits.
of course, it's still just a feeling, a "wild guess". Just be careful out there.

YOU only have to pay when you cash out; however, if you have used your bitcoins to purchase various items, then you may NOT have gotten a gain... I think that there is some discretion on how to figure it out.. so yes, maybe you will have to do some finagling..
its reasonable to assume they dont care about buying a beers and a burger at a bar with some bitcions
but if you buy a lambo with mad bitcoin profits.... Goat!
yeah but here in the UK, I've bought and sold over the threshold of capital gains. I have yet to find any clear information on how it works here, but I'm pretty sure I have a huge bill to pay soon

Lol I smeared Jorge hours ago with my paid troll comment. I didn't expect it to still be a topic of discussion. I just don't see why anyone would spend so much time here rehashing (lol) tired old arguments AGAINST what this forum exists to promote. Why would someone do that?
And we know people are paid to do this.
https://firstlook.org/theintercept/2014/02/24/jtrig-manipulation/I mean this was "tinfoilhat" stuff not so long ago.
Jorge perhaps you are not what I say, and I'm not trying to annoy you, I just wonder why you spend what seems to be HOURS every day here doing what you do.
Your potential story in the year 2020:
"I spent a total of 6 months of my life on a bitcoin forum, not because I owned any, but to tell people I didn't know that it wouldn't work for reasons I would cycle around, that people would point to the well established debunkings of."

Regarding, Jorge, the level of paranoia in here is getting a little scary (and I talk as someone who tries to maintain a high level of paranoia). Jorge is wrong (IMO) but sincere. No one is seriously going to be trying to control the market through this forum (unless it is the market for pictures of rockets and trains).
Is it so hard to believe? There'll be an annual budget for defamation of things they want slandered. Let's imagine how this might work:
10% fake facebook accounts and pages
10% youtube videos
30% comments on youtube
20% comments sections on MSM sites
10% admins controlling content on sites
20% forums. (edit: this is the most active thread on the most active forum. Pretty relevant.)
This is most likely how it's done.
This does not mean Jorge is a (paid) troll btw, but some pretty unadventurous thinking makes it easily possible.
edit 2: And this just means it's someone's job out there to make a certain amount of FUDish posts a day. I mean this actually has to be happening.
edit 3: This may be paranoia, but I don't really think it has any effect, it's laughable, but likely someone's job none the less!

Fair enough, we need to start a Jorge mood observation thread because it is OT.
Although, what if your statements actually affected the btc price?

All it takes is a rumour on twitter or one fake article to drop another 100 bucks. But no amount of good news will make it go up. So guess which way we will be going.
the effect of news changes in cycles. the market is obviously more vulnerable to bad news when people are very bullish (long), but that time has passed because the panic selling has been exhausted.
yesterday chinese law was enforced on a chinese exchange, confirming the worst, but here we are, rallying, 466 and climbing.
I think you will see from now on, the good news will start to take a positive effect on the market.

You shouldnt be drinking that shit, anyhow.
I agree. I don't drink it very often.
We'll maybe when you drink it, you become more cheerful and easily humored... ? At least when you get the buzz from it before it kills you?
I am joking a little bit bc I could give a ratt's ass what people do or choose to do. Personally, I stopped drinking most sugary beverages (including sodas and a lot of the other crap) nearly three years ago. And, diet versions are probably as bad, if NOT worse, then some of the non-diet versions. Actually, it took quite some time to ween myself completely, b/c they are fairly addictive, believe it or NOT. My current vice, if you would call it that, is buying young coconuts and drinking the juice from there. A little more expensive than sodas... but likely to be pretty good nutrition with a pretty decent taste, once you extract yourself from sugar cravings.
Good choice, coconut water is undoubtedly better than any soda, and diet soda?!?! Aspartame is something you should probably never consume.

Sigh, another pseudo-audit trying to fool people with a thick cloud of colorful technological smoke.
As the "auditor" admits, the exchange can easily fool him about the amount of bitcoins that it owns. What is the point of doing that "audit", then?
Besides falsifying their BTC holdings, the exchange can falsify the other half of the "audit", too. Suppose the exchange is short of 100,000 coins, but the owner has a cat named Tibonne and client TibonneTheCat has 100,000 BTC in its account. The exchange creates a version of their database omitting that account. The auditor verifies that the total of balances in that doctored database is less than the bitcoins that the exchange supposedly owns. Using the fancy cryptographic machinery, all the other clients verify that their balances are included in the database. So?
And the audit also did not check the sum of the MONEY balances against the exchange's bank accounts and outstanding money debts.
An "audit" is not a real audit if it checks only half of the company's books, or if it has no way to check whether the books are complete that is outside the control of the audited entity. This "audit" fails miserably on both counts.
A potential "auditor" who is smart, honest, and mindful of his reputation should refuse to take part in such a meaningless exercise -- that will mislead clients about the safety of the exchange, and could make him an involuntary accomplice of a scam. See Roger Ver's "audit" of MtGOX.

You are being very unrealistic if you are of the belief that getting rid of speculators is helpful to BTC... In the end, the speculators are likely to make or break BTC...

no im saying that the unbanked masses main concern is access to food and water. people with bank accounts litterally take dumps in drinkable water. so just stop pretending that bitcoin will change those unbanked masses lives. What should change is the centralisation of the world's resources.

It is an incredibly narrow (and supremely arrogant) point of view to consider anyone who is not "taking dumps in drinkable water" to be so poor they must be starving, sub-Saharan Africa style.
There are upwards of 2 billion people that could immensely benefit from BTC going mainstream, and, no, they are neither starving nor US/Euro level rich.

Bitcoin is commodified scarcity. The world was running low on scarcity, so we had to create some. Previously we faced peak scarcity. Thanks to bitcoin, we now have enough scarcity for everyone.
Bring on the greed. Come at me bro. Bitcoin will use crypto fu and redirect that negative energy into pure positive scarcity.

This feels totally diffferent then the last 2 drops to 400. Almost everyone saw those flash crashes coming and that it would quickly rebound within hrs, which it did.
Here we are in the low/mid 400's for over a week and there is no mad rush to buy coins at this insanely 'discounted' price.
Permabulls are hoping for a hail-mary pass, but i just dont see it, i dont think we've grinded this far down for not at least a vicious 400 retest.
Sharks are waiting in the wings patiently. 400 is key, if that breaks watch the fuck out, it could drop like a rock to the 200's. This market is dying to shake out all the gamblers who bought in at 1K.
That's exactly how I see it too, but Bitcoin isn't known for being predictable.
True. That's why im split up, 40% trading (all fiat right now) and 60% savings. However, if 400 is breached i probably will be dipping into my savings to sell some more.
If $400 is breached, I am certainly buying some more.... yet the exact price point in which I buy and how much would depend upon how fast it drops and whether based on any additional news (or FUD) -
Maybe I will buy yours TeeBone?
It ain't gonna be
we all got tonnes of fiat waiting for this. Maybe 420 (blaze it fgt) once more, but I think that's it.

What's strange to me is that there's really no news here. We already knew China wasn't outright banning BTC...yet.
How can you ban BTC?
Like how???
You mean knowledge of a certain set of digits is potentially illegal?
I mean we're getting to down to philosophical absolutes now thanks to bitcoin. It's make or break time for humanity. The grey area between libertarianism and authoritarianism is shrinking rapidly.
If you KNOW a string of data, and someone sends bitcoin to that piece of data, would that be illegal?
That's essentially what "owning" bitcoin is.
This needs its own thread, or more probably already has one.
Weren't people talking about border police demanding to know if people were "carrying" btc over the border, and wondering what is considered "carrying."
When making a paper wallet, I generated a private key. I picked a number our of the universe, and told the blockchain that there is where my unspent outputs should be moved to.
If bitcoin becomes "illegal" what happens? Am I supposed to forget the number? Send them to an address I don't own? In which case, what if someone maliciously sends me some more? What if the police send me more to incriminate me?
And we're where we are with drugs (the fun ones). Something that can be used to completely ruin a persons life. It's not like any other crime. Someone can just dump a bag of coke in your car and next time you're driving.....

We're back at 424. I've got a good feeling. But we'll see. Even the bears conclude that a second test of 340 would send us in bull country, so if that happens... let it be!

I thought this was a very cool quote from here
http://www.reddit.com/r/BitcoinMarkets/comments/22wcx6/what_happens_if_the_best_case_scenarios_actually/cgr72rmI wonder how the situation would look in an alternative universe where the humans invented computers, Internet and cryptography in the early 19th century and switched from gold to Bitcoin, skipping fiat currencies entirely.
Imagine someone from this universe suggesting a fiat currency:
"Let's call this system Dollarcoin. It is a system like Bitcoin, but there will be only one miner, the government. And there will be no limits on block rewards, so the government will be able to mine as many dollarcoins as it wants to. And you will not be able to transact large amounts directly but will need to register a "wallet" with large government-licensed corporations - we will call them banks. And banks and the government will be able to freeze your wallet or confiscate it at any time.
The banks will run their own blockchains too, however all those altcoins will be also called dollarcoins. Each bank will be able to mine 10 "bank dollarcoins" for each "government dollarcoin" they hold. And the bank will freely exchange between government coins and its own coins until it doesn't have any real dollarcoins left and its blockchain fails. Nothing to worry though - in this case the government will simply mine enough dollarcoins to reimburse the bank's customers.
And while we are at it, let's invent our own system for making purchases over the Internet with dollarcoins. It will be called Credit Card. This will be a plastic card with your dollarcoin private key engraved on it in plaintext. When you make a purchase online, you will simply send your private key to the merchant who are responsible for charging the exact amount you agreed to. After that, the merchant will store your private key in its database so you won't have to type it again next time! (Brilliant idea, right?)
Of course, there will be huge amount of losses due to fraud, but we will distribute those losses equally among all users of the system and they probably won't notice. We can just as many coins as we want, remember?"
This is just excellent. +graham's number

To accept Bitcoin you need to understand Bitcoin and to understand Bitcoin, you need to understand fiat and that's just too much to ask for most people. At least until their bank accounts are being restricted or they're being paid in billion dollar bills.
It will come.
This. Why would people switch when they don't come in to contact with the flaws of the system they are already using?
When getting stuffed into a train on it's way to Auschwitz many probably were thinking, "I should never have stitched that yellow star onto my jacket." And (hopefully!) IBM were thinking "Shit, we should never have helped the Nazis with that punch card system!"

My fellow Bitcoiners. I have a dream, that one day coins will not be judged on their color and taint, but be judged as one by the strength of the network hash. Together we can transform the global financial system. BUY!
"All that it takes for fiat to triumph is for good men to stand idly by as it is used."
My brothers I have SEEN the sending of a bitcoin from one person to another. Because I have been to the dark market.
Like anybody I would like to buy a lambo. Lamborghinis have their place.
But I'm not concerned about that now.

Congrats. Mine is only -(low 3 figures).
I figured $0 is end-game for everyone, so didn't bother with negative values... it would be an interesting time when you'd actually be paying people to take bitcoin from you... I'd imagine it to be highly illegal (probably banned 500 times by China by then)
Bitcoin is banned by the federal government and if you are caught owning bitcoin, you pay a fine of 2,500 per coin.

Wow, Stamp hit $460 almost an hour ago when we were screwing around. I almost owe Adam an apology if you take a very loose interpretation of the term "moments away".
Adam also called out $425 as a great buy which is an entry point nicely in profit now.
When has he ever not said it was a great time to buy? That particular signal got lost in the noise. Chances are I'll have at least one or two more times to buy at that price point.
Adam has been bearish sometimes. Notably when we first hit the 700-900 range.

How can you lose your savings if it didnt go to 0 ? The very worst you could do is lose 60%
That wasn't meant literally, of course. Losing 60% of all you own is bad enough, don't you think?
But you CAN lose all of your life savings if you left the bitcoins in MtGOX, invested in Neo & Bee, or any of the other zillion bitcoin scams. (The first time I heard of bitcoin was when Rick Falkvinge tweeted that he was investing all his savings in bitcoin. Guess where he left them. Fortunately for him he managed to get part of them out in time.)
You can also invest your 50'000$ of savings plus 50'000$ borrowed from relatives, friends and banks. (You can bet that many people did that. If the salesman says that for sure BTC will be worth 1'000'000$ in a few years...)
This idea that the government needs to protect you from your own investment decisions is comical.
It is funny, but one of the things that people expect the government to do is to protect them from scammers who try to sell unsound financial instruments with misleading promises. That is why there are things like the SEC and consumer protection laws. And that seems to be the reason why many bitcoin businesses catering primarily to US citizens are based in Panama or other unlikely countries.
Personally I think it is a good thing that a government does that to a certain extent, if it would not we would all be at the mercy of the gods (1%'ers).
or.....OR.....the government has.....*gasp* many 1%ers within it?

Gold was forbidden to own in the United States between 1933 and 1974, punishable by $10,000 fine and/or 10 years imprisonment.

Actually you are perceived as a bear because all your posts are negative or bearish.
You only
perceive the posts as negative or bearish because of how they integrate into your belief structures of the way btc is supposed to trade. However, if any non-btc-iniated rational investor was to hear my projections, they might actual find them to be incredibly bullish. For example [we're only on a 500% growth per year trend rather than a 1000% growth per year trend] and [if the sky falls we might see as much as a 40% drop but it'll have a sharp rebound and break $1000 in 2015]

All my computing life I have been taught and taught students how to compute things in the most efficient way. It turns my stomach seeing that much computing power (and electrical power) wasted.
same but then our entire economy is very wasteful
http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2014-05-16/where-worlds-unsold-cars-go-dieI'm sure eventually we'll switch to a better crypto system or energy sources like thorium.
That zerohedge article really impressed me and made the wastefulness of our actions graspable for me. "Yay! We're building more cars, the economy is growing, elect us again!"
We need to end this "continuous growth paradigm" that is partly a consequence of (or at least intricately intertwined with) the type of money we use. Transitioning to using sound money is a big step towards becoming more resource efficient. The psychopathic powers that be are already shitting their pants regarding their debt regimes threatening to fall apart (Beligum), trying to start ww3 to get out of that deadlock they have maneuvered themselves into. I hope the people of the world will be prudent enough to see through the false flags (example: chemical attacks in syria last year) and violent provocations by payed mercenaries. I also hope our whistleblowers will keep informing us.
I think the easiest and most effective step we can take as people of the world in order to scale down our natural resource usage and to avoid bloody conflict is to transition to using crypto. It'll force governments into fiscal prudence eventually and it'll force actors making bad decisions to suffer the consequences of their actions, as it should be.
I agree.
It's so hard to not sound like a bitcoin cultist, but every time someone moans to me about something wrong with the world, I always think "hence; bitcoin."

A few big early morning pumps and following that back to anaemic volume, no cause for celebration
LTC hasn't followed much, which is a cause for concern as it usually follows btc at greater percentage!
Look how many alt coins there are now and look at some of the gains that they are experiencing. Why would you invest in LTC that has stayed in a 0.015 range since March? Especially when its only selling point is speed.
I'm very curious to see what'll become of LTC. Perhaps we'll see a second mover advantage hanging in there or maybe it'll just be eaten alive by the tidal wave of new coins.
I'll tell you what will happen to Litecoin. I owned shitloads of Litecoins which i sold just before they started moving from 2 to 40 dollars or so. Lost out on a sickening amount of money.
I bought a good bunch back last month and now they don't do shit anymore. Of course i can start buying other alt-coins but they will turn to shit the minute i look at it.

re alts: they are always a terrible thing to be hodling when bitcoin is at the beginning of a rally.
My guess is LTC and the more established alts will trend spike up when bitcoin gets overbought again. Trouble is the ratio of alts:bitcoin is always increasing. LTC and NMC are becoming irrelevant. Which is a shame for NMC because that was is a coin with a purpose I agree with. DRK I also think deserves to survive and prosper. Wish I could figure out how to buy some.

Not saying that DRK cant succeed or anything, but all this talk about "a better coin in town" heavily reminds me what dogecoin cultists were saying on the peak of its bubble.
Personally i think its just the new quark. The altcoin hype comes in waves. We've already seen the country-based coin hype (chinacoin, etc), the memecoin hype (doge, catcoin, w/e), some other types like quark, and now its apparently anonymity coins turn to get their pump.
No bitcoin has one serious problem which DRK POTENTIALLY deals with. (I don't know, and would like to know if it actually does): Anonymity. I don't own any but would like to.
I believe heavily in bitcoin, but am also scared of it doing what the internet did: emancipate us, whilst at the same time facilitating surveillance.
Bitcoin should be anonymous, a genuinely anonymous crypto-currency is something that should be got off the ground sooner rather than later, or we end up with something like TOR which is used by far too few people.
Someone called ChrisMC thinks I am a troll. How sad
I am the biggest BTC fan boy, and am the first to say CHOO! I only paraphrase bitcoin FUDers because I believe the best defence against idiocy is humour.

I would give us less than a 2% chance of an ATH in 2 weeks. I would gladly be wrong though. What I like about this latest surge is that it is growing incrementally, and then flattening out for a bit before going up some more. When it shoots straight up, it usually corrects right back down a decent amount.
Very true. That is a much healthier thing to witness. Though it always loses its shit eventually and jumps like 40% in a day

Huh, I thought since the logarithmic graph pushes lower prices to a higher visual position that it made the lower prices look "better". I'm a newbie at all this so I know I could be completely wrong.
Also
680!!!If you go up steadily at a linear pace, a linear graph will show a straight line from the origin. If you represent this logarithmically it will look like a curve tapering off, like the creation rate of bitcoin curve looks (on a linear graph).
A straight line on a LOG graph looks like an insane upward bending curve when displayed on a linear graph.
Therefore, patterns look less extreme on a log graph than on a linear graph and we can do a whole jump up on a linear graph and the log graph won't look that impressive.

Sam Harris - good choice.
Also, for the 51%ers:
They have the potential disrupt bitcoin in a large way.
But a pool like GHash.io is demonstrating that it is not doing what that would require. (It may be, but anyone else also may be).
A 51% attack - the type worth actually being afraid of - is only done by a silent entity, apparently solving no blocks, until suddenly it braodcasts a large amount of solved blocks on a chain longer than the current chain, that goes back many blocks, leaving many transactions potentially unconfirmed, or many coins double spent. Anyone can make an alt chain at any time, but having more power than the rest of the network (meaning having over 50% of your network and the rest of the network combined) means you have the ability to make a longer chain - one that will be automatically accepted by the rest of the network.
If a person/organisation has 51% of the total power of the network (which would be greater than double the entire known hashrate of the network due to this needing to be done in secret) they can mine their own chain on which they can conduct whatever mischief they like.
However, if they are solving blocks, and broadcasting them to the network, they are starting from the beginning of their "altchain" each time they broadcast a block - and will have to start a new fork. If they hide all their blocks from the network until they have say 100 blocks, and due to their 51% of the total (secret and known) hashing power (at least 230,000Th) eventually they will have an alt chain of a greater block size than the main chain (say, 99 blocks) then all the nodes will switch over to the longer chain.
I've read over this and it's slightly confusingly put. I will explain again, hopefully better here:
If Ghash.io wants to fork us, and it can given how much power it has, it would have to use all its hashing power to make a silent, parallel chain to the blockchain which it keeps silent for as many blocks as possible, until it has a few more blocks than the main chain. If this chain has not confirmed any transactions since the beginning of the fork, or had double spends within it, it would be very disruptive. However, given that Ghash is braodcasting blocks to the network, it cannot be doing this because it is USING its hashing power to solve blocks that the bitcoin community can see, and has no issues with.
The only risk is that they start being naughty. At which point the community will react, and a solution will be found. This is unlikely, as many have pointed out because it would destroy their business.
A true bitcoin destroying entity does not do what Ghash is doing. It buys up enough hashing power to equal, and then supersede the entire network, then makes a silent, longer blockchain with lots of unconfirmed transactions, most likely transactions that they had made that were included in the shorter chain that they then make invalid, allowing them to scam people as a secondary motive, but their primary motive of course, would be to destroy bitcoin completely by making all transactions in the last x blocks (since the fork) unconfirmed, and by continuing to not allow their confirmation.
Unfortunately, the above scenario is possible, but the chances of a mining pool doing it is just as likely as anyone else doing it, and a large amount of legitimately solved blocks, even an amount greater than 51% is not an attack, it's just a lot of solved blocks. Nothing is being attacked here.
Unless Ghash is only using say 20% of it's hashrate to mine the blocks we see, and is slyly building a powerful 200Petahash rig with which it makes a huge chain that wreaks havoc on the whole community, it is doing nothing wrong, it is just solving lots of blocks.
And to be honest, it is LESS likely to be doing this than anyone else, because if it was, it would be fighting against a network whose main power comes from itself.
Reasonable conclusion:
People who are attempting 51% attacks are not contributing to the honest part of the network, because if they were, they would be making their own goal harder.
The more legitimate blocks you create, the less likely you are to be attempting a 51% attack (the dangerous kind).
They may be attempting to make a "stupid" 51% attack, where they *shock* double spend a couple of transactions, we all notice and their whole pool comes crashing down.
Be afraid of 51% attacks. They could destroy us but they won't be done by a mining pool we all know about that submits honest blocks to the network.

Why is still going down?
Because people are extremely scared. As soon as the price goes up someone will dump on it, Chinese FUD will be posted, a pool reaches 51% etc. There are people working non stop on trying to take the value of Bitcoin down and right now they control the market. Any hint of bad news atm and the sheep completely panic. A lot of the selling currently is because of "i better sell now before someone else sells". As always the idiots create their own problem. Of course this will change again but when...nobody knows.
There are people saying about price under 300 in few days, im afraid but im not going to sell. Im like the captain of a ship, if it goes down i will go down with it.
Same here. Not selling.
If it goes to crazy lows like under 300 (or even earlier), I'll consider moving some of my cash/gold back into bitcoin.
the ghash.io thing is scary, I can understand the paniccy pussies selling to an extent. But I have trust in the community to fix it. P2pool seems a good way. Once it offers low enough variance, people will flock to it. Kudos to the miners already switching. They are real men!
My jalapeno means p2pool is impossible for me. So I use eligius. People should stop using Ghash on principle.

Objectively, what are our chances of going lower? I can throw in some fiat and buy some coins, but this is probably the last time I will be buying for 6 months or a year. Ignoring the trolls, is there a legitimate chance of hitting $500?
DO NOT take any advice from anybody here! Don't ever ask other people here what to do with your money! I know you see all these lines and charts and mainly bears who act like they know it all but i can guarantee you that not a single person here knows where Bitcoin will go. Every bear here will tell you we 100% sure will see 500 again. That's because they're sad little creatures who do nothing but lie and manipulate because they want the price to go down.
The bulls obviously want the price to go up but will be a bit more modest and say we likely won't see 500 again. Either way any info you'll get is coloured and worthless.
The fact that you want to invest in Bitcoin means you believe it will be worth more in the future. If you do then you should buy. 500 or 560 is meaningless in the long run if this thing takes off. If you don't think it will take off then don't. Waiting is kinda pointless because again nobody knows what it will do.

Hubris, prof. Hubris.
I don't recal if I mentioned it here, but a few years ago Fiat Brasil switched to using cast iron instead of steel for the rear wheel hubs of some model. The hubs would fatigue-crack after some time, more likely when driving at high speed on highways. Several fatal accidents happened before the government forced Fiat to do a recall and replace those hubs.
Once I met at lunch the prof from our Mechanical Engineering dept who wrote the report that pointed out the problem and eventually convinced the government to order the recall. It was not a easy struggle to overcome the Fiat lobbyists and lawyers, and I don't think that he got more than his expenses refunded.

Fear of the problem is worse than the problem itself.
Always.

Just to make a further point, loads of blocks on the legit chain from GHash means that they are NOT using A LOT of their potential hashing power to make a fake chain. It is more concerning when their hashrate suddenly DROPS because they still have the power, and could be using it (in theory) to make a fake chain of greater length than the main chain full of double spends etc. Every time I see a legit block from GHash I can be fairly certain that must be using their mining power for the most obvious reason, to generate bitcoin.

Sideways on 600-610... This will be a long week.
Ghash.io hashrate went up again. Greedy bastards. I don't see why it's so hard for them to just create two more pools and split up.
and not to destroy the value of the single thing that their entire business relies upon.
This is not a valid argument in my opinion.
If Ghash.io was runned by JPMorgan, or any other "enemy of bitcoin" then they would very much like to destroy bitcoin.
That said, they are probably already owned and bought by JPMorgan or one of the other banksters.
You've quoted me in a way that makes it look like I'm saying something that I wasn't trying to say!
What you might not realise is that an enemy of bitcoin does not contribute to its network positively.
It's a balancing act.
How do you make sure that your cryptocurrency doesn't get ruined?
You make sure it is as powerful as possible.
GHash makes it almost twice as difficult to 51% attack bitcoin. And in doing this, they have invested a lot and have more to lose than anybody by attacking it themselves.
THINK.
Yes they can be coerced, and their own power can be used against them by a government/private entity (same thing), but so what? We watch as our network power halves for a few hours, notice something funny is up, see Ghash dump a new blockchain on us of greater length than the current chain, and OMGOMGOMGOMG! A few blocks are fucked up! Maybe some double spends, a bunch of unconfirmed transactions. It happens - maybe - but no one is shipping you your $10k dollar order after only waiting for 3 confirmations. Bitcoins worst feasible scenario is this.
This?!?(Others such as encryption suddenly being not a thing that the universe allows for in the way we think leaves us with more problems than just BTC failing.)
Compare that with fiat?
Bitcoin beyond wins.

Yeah, I believe the auction ends on the 27th. Hope the buyers don't dump it all afterwards.
This is what everyone is worried about and this is what is suppressing the price.
IMHO the caliber of the people involved in the auction is obvious. These people are looking for Bitcoins long term success.
yes and once again, why are we making it so cheap for them?
Given the nature of bitcoin, anyone that wants to buy a very large amount should have to pay over the odds, not under it.
This is bullshit. Lose the fiat mentality people! Make em pay for the only finite, divisible, un-counterfeitable, instantly transferable asset like they should have to!

Google have adverts. People pay for those adverts. Do they need google+ to do that?
Amazoncoin? Fuck that, not going to happen, or catch on if it does.
I think it's max 2 years away this kind of adoption.
It will suprise us by happening sooner than we think. Maybe 9 months from now. One of the big players.
Walmart is a great addition to the list too.

But bitcoin be the black swan remember
It will surprise us, most likely in a positive way (for those who hodl.) I am convinced that almost everyone here is a long term bull, and some brave/greedy types just want to grab as much of the land of the future-gigantic-bitcoin-based place currently under construction that they can.
Never hodl an amount that is stressing you out, because money isn't everything and this makes it easier to not be scared by every little piece of FUD that comes along.

I wouldn't call that insulting. Just that by the time he realizes what bitcoin really is he may be too late to reap the profit portion of the benefits it will bring us.
He's too old to know or care. You're talking about people that don't use google here. I realise that telling this story here was probably not the best idea.
To the person who just said they hate people like that, there are plenty of people who don't understand bitcoin and are lovely, generous people who just want to not see other people lose their money. (Like JorgeStolfi CLAIMS to be doing, except he is doing it in entirely the wrong place. He might as well start an anti-smoking campaign in a room full of people dying of lung cancer.)

This thread speculation is fun. It helps to demonstrate how absurd it is to speculate with unreasonable degrees of certainty anyway.
Stupid mods manipulating the thread count.

That man was a disaster! Western civilizations downfall is partly this mans fault.
The more I think about it, the more I cannot find a single modern nightmare problem that Richard Nixon did not have a gigantic hand in. Although I do agree, Churchhill is a huge racist imperialist dick.
Well, there are worse leaders:
the west used and screwed these guys too... hence the hermit(ness)
They were the ones that invaded the south and their society is so hell bent on staying closed to outside information, they constantly blame their ills on an imperial west which we are. They'd be in even worse shape w/o their markets where smugglers bring in foreign products allowing the matriarchs to put food on the table through sales.
Having lived in South Korea for several years, the thing the western media never shows is after any anti-US protest by a few kids, the next day there was ALWAYS a much larger pro-US counter protest by the older generations.
The older people who lived through the war know that the US fought to create a stable open trade environment for them that allowed Korea to work hard and go from poorer than africa status to one of the richest countries in the world.
For some reason they seem to prefer that to the impoverished totalitarian hell hole up north the US stopped for them.
Is the US an imperial power run by a corporate/statist oligarchy? Yes. Does this need to be stopped? Yes. Were there many much worse and more evil alternatives in the 20th century that we should be thankful were avoid? Yes. (Pol Pot, Mao, Japanese 1+ million sex camps of teenage girls, Hitler, Stalin, I could go on)

.....been working for the last two years....
It is not foolproof, I am afraid. For the fools who bought in late November, that method has been rather disappointing so far.
.....not so much with precious metals though. lol
Again, it depends on when one bought and sold...
Only if they bought at precisely the wrong time, and didn't do any dollar cost averaging.
You might as well criticise Earth as a planet to live on because "earthquakes."

Personally when it rallies I find it hard not to lose my mind.
It's difficult to handle, suddenly being 2x richer within a the space of 2 or 3 days. And the pressure to sell. The rest of my life takes a backseat and it's not too healthy! The rally to $266 almost killed me, and when it popped I hit the bottom with btc damn hard.

Yeah, and? The concept is... sound. Bitcoin doesn't have to be the successful version. Bitcoin is still so tiny that nothing is preventing a better implementation from being the preferred payment system.
Bitcoin I'd
Yes but you're forgetting something.
Bitcoin will UNDOUBTEDLY be superseded by something better, but it won't have the NETWORK STRENGTH which is what this is all about.
It is always the case that the first mover doesn't get everything perfect, and some other ankle biter comes along and improves on the one "real world" issue that could never be anticipated correctly by the creator.
HOWEVER
This is software, not hardware, and therefore much more malleable.
SO
We have MASSIVE first mover advantage, and negligible first mover disadvantage.
Better cryptos?....meh, they don't have 200,000Th/s of strength to maintain their chains.

I would say 'no look, here is the source code. Look. It's there. That's it. That's what it is. I can see what it is and what it will do.'
More frustrating than the bear market tbh!

Bitcoin = Gold
Litecoin = Silver

Payment processors love dogecoin because it encourages usage unlike bitcoin and litecoin which are horded and not great for there business model. It is almost unrivalled in the cryptoworld with the endless supply and has cheap fees and is fast

Personally, I would have speculated (again) that these machines have such a short lifespan (due the seemingly ever exponentially increasing hash rate) that you would want to continue to run them while they are still profitable and with the passage of time they are going to become, more or less giant paper weights.. or maybe ONLY heaters b/c they are otherwise running at a loss.
My first-gen BFL ASICs were obsolete last winter. By the end of winter even underclocking them wouldn't have helped.
Indeed I see my miner as only a heater. Even if I only earn a few satoshis, I still feel as if I'm contributing to the network.
have you considered solo-mining? Then it's like playing the lottery.
I'm in the same situation. It takes me about 3 months to mine 0.01btc. Solo mining would be excellent. I don't actually know how to go about it though. The core client doesn't let you just mine now.

Shouldn't setting up a bitcoin.conf file with rpcallowip etc. and pointing cgminer at the ip:port of the machine running bitcoind / bitcoin-qt suffice?
If it does, please tell me how I do all of that
I am mining on eligius with bfgminer on a windows machine. If I can switch this to solo that'd be great.

It's going to come from many different places at once.
RPGs will start using them. Kids will want them over anything else. Keep bugging their parents for some. They will grow up loving them more than inconvenient money.
I know someone who used to sell rare runescape items on ebay and he has to wait for cheques to come in the post.
Then there's the traders who will love the ETF.
Then there's the reality of borderless money coming into fruition. This is beyond what many of us can imagine. We've all heard the term "internet of money" but we haven't seen it yet. But it's coming.
The politicised amongst us will always be way ahead of our time and not part of any majority that has yet to join the movement.
Multi-sig will replace ambiguous, trust requiring, huge set-ups to become necessarily reliable. Massive projects will HAVE to happen the way people funding them agreed to.
"Leaders" will ban them, whilst lining their pockets with them.
The network will be reliable become so many of us will continue to fight for them.
In our darkest times it only ever falls to where it was about a year ago.

I hope I'm right, because that means less miners, thus less btcs for sale, thus higher the demand/sale factor. If I'm wrong then it will be a bear's fest once more until sometime at the late $350-$380s. When this stops? Without a big catalyst for a proper CCMF, I'd expect sometime in 2016 when the block halving occurs. Until then, happy trolling...
I don't get it. Just because there are less miners doesn't reduce the inflation itself, until the block halving. Furthermore, a rising difficulty that is not fully compensated by lower costs/higher BTC prices results in a reduction in marginal profits. If some miners have decided to HODL their surplus BTC, they are currently getting less and less surplus BTC and are forced to sell more to cover their bills (up to 100% of 3600/day).
What would be bullish is if another ASIC-magnitude sudden reduction in hashing cost happened and the miners were bullish on BTC and decided to withhold their profits, but that probably won't happen again, simply because ASICs are the end of the line from CPU => GPU => ASIC.

...Or maybe
the poster just have some sort of a mental disorder.
Honestly, I find JorgeStolfi's long-winded post more interesting than yours. At least he's talking about bitcoin on a thread which is about bitcoin..
This is the speculation forum, so I suppose it remains fair to speculate; however, your evidence regarding the extent to which I could have a mental disorder seems to be sparse, at best. In other words, you seem to be engaged in gratuitous name-calling without any evidence and very little substantive discussion of anything of any relevance.
Regarding Jorge as compared with me: I have NO problem with you finding him relatively more interesting than me. That is your personal choice. Also, it does NOT seem to serve any purpose to discuss your personal preferences, so a bit difficult to understand what point you are attempting to get at, here.
Actually when I said "the poster", I was referring to people who posts lengthy and unnecessary replies
It's not my fault if you feel like you're one of those people which could possibly have some mental disorder...
The discussion is not about my personal preferences... It's about the content of his post compared to yours and the thread where you are posting. I guess you really does have some problems understanding things.
You are sounding a bit delusional, paranoid and self-absorbed in your attempts to justify your supposed important claims about BTC price movements.
Nope. If I am, I would have posted long winded post explaining it like what you do
And aren't we talking about the "bulltard" thingy and about the "name calling"
I believe that was the main topic that we started with was my comment that it seemed inflammatory to be throwing out the term bulltard, when there may be better ways to express some of your ideas, to the extent that you may have substantive ideas, which I am beginning to have my doubts.
Yup. You were lecturing me how bad name-calling is and how you dislike such behavior...
Until I remember one of your post that condone such behavior.
Yes.. "Bulltard" seemed insulting but not "cuntface" or "loser"..
LOL!
Well, at least you have an ability to kind of remember how we began to go down this rabbit hole of a topic; however, you do seem to have a tendency to get caught up into trivial technicalities. Hopefully, you will grow out of this at some point, but probably NOT in the short-term context of our exchanging texts. Sometimes it takes years and experiences to grow out of bad and/or immaturity habits.
Of course I remember it.. It's only you who keeps mentioning about unnecessary things. So, what does "attempts to justify your supposed important claims about BTC price movements" has to do with name-calling? And if you actually checked that post, you'd see that I merely posted the current price of btc at that time when the bulltards started posting insulting language. You also mentioned that "the higher the level of derrogatory-ness may cause more attention", how come I didn't see you trying to approach them and lecture them about their improper behavior? I don't think you were not able to read their posts since it's just a few words.
I don't think I need to explain this further.. Let's not forget this one so people would see it clearly:
Yes.. more examples of your triviality and your getting caught up in unimportant and NON-substantive points.
It's not unimportant.. That's where I realized the real reason why you approached me
You seem to be devolving into a status of wanting to argue, just for the sake of it... and even using the lines that I had used on you, directed towards me? At least you could come up with something a little more substantive and/or original.
Says the guy who suddenly pop out of nowhere and started arguing with me. LOL!
I find some of your logic to be quite strange, and maybe at some point you will understand that there is a difference between substantive and productive engaging and inflammatory engaging? You seem to NOT really recognize the extent to which you have a tendency to employ what appears to be inflammatory engaging. I doubt that you are going to change these ways anytime soon, especially, if you seem to conclude that your purposes are served by such.
Well isn't arguing with me the main purpose why you approached me? Probably you got butthurt when I mentioned "THOSE bulltards" and maybe you're one of them.
I doubt you approached me to discuss about name-calling in this thread and because you dislike such behavior in this thread because this posts: (
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=178336.msg7298719#msg7298719)
clearly shows that you aren't concerned about that.
and even using the lines that I had used on you, directed towards me?
Because it suits you better than me..
It seems like you were locked up in the basement with nothing but your laptop and desperately seeking for attention in the interwebs
You are NOT really saying much, here.
Yeah right
-------------------------
I'm outta here
Oh.. and one more thing that is probably a psychological problem for you is that you seem to be viewing your interactions here on the interwebs as some kind of competition, including these recent posts with me. There may be some posters who are competing, but I am NOT one of them.. So step back from the keyboard, sir, ma'am or bot!!!!!!
Heh I posted that when I got bored waiting for a reply
I can't believe you'd even say something about that... I guess that is probably a psychological problem for you... LOL!
You step away from the keyboard bulltard...
Again, you do NOT seem to be saying anything new, here. You are merely taking the lines that I used that were directed towards you, and then directing the lines towards me. Seems like you are running on pure emotion rather than reason. Maybe on the positive shows that you are a human rather than a bot...? And, if you are a bot, you are sure seeming to be an emotional one.. that is lashing out and grasping at straws....
Because there's really nothing to talk about that... LOL! I can't believe you'd even react with my exit phrase/image.. LOL!
I guess it's probably some sort of a psychological problem.. You'd always find a reason to slap your long-winded post.
I wouldn't be surprised if we later end up with you lecturing me about my grammatical errors. You wouldn't be surprised if I were to attempt to correct your grammar because again you are engaging in what seems to be pure speculation that has little to no basis in reality. I hope that your attempts to forecast the price direction of BTC are better than your whimsical attempts to analyze and predict the personalities and behaviors of pseudo-anonymous persons on the internet?
Well based on how you react with a single image and a three letter sentence, and how it ended up with something like "psychological problem", "competition", "bot", "emotion", etc. , there's a posibillity that we end up with that since you already mentioned about my sentences not comprehensible
There seems to be quite a bit stream of consciousness going on here, and loose connections, and seems like you are getting a bit worked up over this, at least to the extent that your sentences are NOT really comprehensible in a self-contained manner, but hinge on a form of fill-in-the-blank puzzle.
This might need a new thread judging only by its length.
There's no way I'm gonna attempt reading all that.

I have some business issues in the US of A that I am trying to get in order - otherwise I am considering various ways to become location independent. Currently, I am attracted to south east asia, more than europe - and part of my thinking is that I can live a lot better on a lot less (accordingly, live well within my means, and continue to accumulate wealth with a mostly passive income). Potentially, later in life, I will be able to travel and live in more expensive areas...... Well, anyhow, this is more of a work of progress than anything set in stone...
Further, I am anticipating that there are going to be a lot of ongoing wishy-washy developments and adjustments when it comes to various tax treatments of BTC... from what I understand, Americans traveling abroad would NOT be required to count the gains of their spent BTC, so long as those BTC are spent overseas.
Regarding number of merchants, the more the better, and regarding spending, there are a lot of mixed blessings about that, and the USA, as most of us already realize, has one of the worst spending records - and some of the american consumerism habits are spreading to other areas around the world... NO simple solutions there when it comes to inequality and wasteful spending while some people are barely able to scratch by meager livings others are living wastefully high on the hog. Seems to be a topic beyond the scope of this thread (though this thread seems to be fairly tolerant of a variety of topics so long as they are anywhere remotely connected to BTC walls - and even then... ooofffffta...).
I think we have a lot in common, I became "location independent" about 2 years ago now.
I live in South East Asia, I live on around $2000 a month. That's in a nice villa, with a nice car, and I eat out at least 2x a day (in western restaurants not local food)
in Europe my lifestyle would eat 90% of my income, over here I save >75% of my income.

I have this crazy idea that the Winklevoss bros are selling their stash for DOGE...
Adam, did you SODL yet or...?
lol
no.
For Doge? These guys aren't completely retarded, they are actually pretty smart. Doge is something with a terminal value of zero. You do the math.
I think I keep about 1.1M of them somewhere in this hoarding mess... Maybe I must change my nick to Winklesga or something...
Be sure to sell them at some point. Doge, just like fiat, will be inflated indefinitely and is therefore inherently worthless. Have fun speculating
Granted. Seriously now, I think it will hit 5x this price and feel free to call me whatever you like. It's only a game for me (always was); used to spend them for tips and small buying in the past (bought a raspberry with 100K of them). I respect the community though. The liftoff I think it's not a usual pump n dump only. It has to do with the Litecoin fork and the fact that the community kept strong even at their lowest point.
We'll see.
PS: Wallet found
i agree there are some things the DOGE community has which Bitcoin lacks. Like fresh blood.
Doge also seems to do well with their marketing.
I think Doge has some powerful allies, press likes them.
its hot shit, always has been, even when it crashed 99%
I have my doubts on their ability to compete in the long term crypto markets tho.
So you are very skeptical of its long term success? Do you have an academic interest only?

No don't say a dump is coming. Only post wonderful things about bitcoin in this thread, or it's "off topic".
So without further adieu, here's my latest estimate of bitcoin price forecast, based on my longterm trend line. Thoughts?
2014: $450
2015: $2600
2016: $12,000
2017: $57,900
2018: $236,984
2019: $1 million
I'd expect >$10k before the end of 2015 and >$100k before the end of 2017.
Some serious optimism in here.
I don't think people have quite the correct perspective.
Bitcoin shouldn't replace fiat, it should just build a parallel economy, that does things fiat never could.
This should build over time.
I don't think the internet had a black swan event, it just became more and more central in our lives.
And the companies involved with it became how you made your fortunes.
I think it's all about the start ups, and though some of us have made fortunes on the price appreciating, but the guys making all the money IMO are exchange owners, bitpay and other middle men, and miners who managed to stay ahead of the curve and HODL.
Bitcoin is the future but I don't think it's so important that its price keeps increasing so much. I just want to see it used more every day.
($1m a BTC would be beautiful though, my god beer is on me for life.)

i give it 80% chance we are at 350 or lower by end of next week, and 20% chance we are at 500+

Areas of science are taboo to talk about. Science has its own dogmas. Check out the work of Rupert Sheldrake.
He has challenged my materialistic background.
I believe that the worst thing about religions is that the worst elements of humanity continue to exist within them. This is also why I reject the state.
The state, in its current form will try to use violence to solve problems. Our problem as a species is that we have not risen above this yet.
We are seeing the birth of some kind of east/west religious clashing based cold war type scenario gain momentum because humans also just love to pick sides.
My observation of religious people has led me to believe that the majority of them shun violence, therefore I no longer resent the religious the way I used to.
I continue to try to build a world where violence is never seen as a solution to a problem.

every transaction paid with Bitcoin will be dumped on the nearest exchange immediately
I don't believe that BitPay gets all, or maybe even most, of their dollars from exchanges.
They probably have underwriters who want to accumulate bitcoins without going through the exchanges who buy them from BitPay.
They've had this kind of arrangement in the past - according to rumours some people became Bitcoin millionaires via this route - but I don't know if they still do it.
yeah, i suspect they broker deals off exchange. but it's also hard to say when off-exchange demand is drying up. maybe it is, maybe it isn't. at some point, bitpay may still have to dump on exchanges.
bitpay sells on exchanges, always have...

But no... don't even so much as breathe the word 'manipulation' on these sub, lest you get completely ridiculed and called a tinfoil hat wearer. Even though the whales' intentions are so obvious an 8-year old could figure it out with the data.
I'm of the opinion that a large buyer is purchasing off exchange blocks and dumping on exchanges to build a massive and cheap stash. Nothing else makes much sense. Sure people panic but many of the sales come when you would least expect someone to panic
This guy already has a massive stash. This behaviour is not of someone selling to buy back cheap. It just isn't.
It's not buying back. It's setting his price on exchanges so he can buy off-exchange.
Miners / bitpay, ect use exchange prices to sell blocks. Drive down the exchange price and you get a lot more btc for your money
You would think that the miners could figure out a way to manipulate the price upwards then, for their own benefit? Perhaps seriously slowing down mining when the price is this low or using some cash reserves to pump up price to sell higher?
I'm not sure if you really thought that through.....

Gox was dodgy for years. People who want more bitcoins are trusting their bitcoins with people who might steal or lose them in order to maybe get more of them.
It's pretty likely they will remain yours. A worthwhile gamble if you ask me.

what is the correct analysis of an ask wall that size?
Bearish because many btc to be sold?
Bearishbecause it all belongs to one guy?
Bullish because that one guy is alerting us to the fact that it's only him that desires the price to fall?
Generally I feel it will just grind the market to a halt as everyone is too afraid to attempt to make an informed decision because the market is obviously dancing to the tune of one person.
Maybe it's there to bring about some peace?

My god this is entertaining.
So many possibilities!
Likely scenarios include the wall only getting half bought and then market dumped after everyone runs out of fiat on stamp! The move being carried out on a weekend to further insure no more fiat - against the logic of trying to get a good price for the btc.
The wall could be being eaten by the wall owner in order to give the impression that a bear whale has gone, and that the market has recovered - this would be a bullwhale who finally lost hope and wanted to sell for higher.
One thing we can't argue about any more is whether or not it's manipulation.
I can see no reason to operate so explicitly other than to manipulate.

Ask wall just grew by 2.5k
Well I guess he can buy back some of his coins cheaper now >.<
Um, what?
You know, sell at $300 per coin. Get others to panic sell and pick the coins a bit cheaper from other dumpers, removal wall and allow price to rise.
Buy in the $290's or lower and sell at or above $300.
If he wanted to induce a panic sell he wouldn't have set up this wall - just sell outright and let chaos reign. He needs some cash NOW and is trying to get what he can for his coins.
Uh, putting a huge wall like that instills some fear in people to sell lower (as we have seen). Selling to all open market orders would be a VERY expensive price for a market scare and he may not have enough time to buy any coins cheaper.
I'm honestly still thinking that he may be buying through his own wall here to invoke a bullish sentiment so that he can start the next rally. If he wanted to create that illusion he would have ha-ha-ha-hadouken bought and sold to whip up thousands of times the volume we're seing. This is a pretty open and honest offer of coins to the world.
/speculation
But that would be very obvious. Essential to the illusion is that these coins are bought by people that aren't him (or her). This is more believable if it is done over time. (Although still possibly a bit of a tall story!)

No, he plans to buy back around 400-600, thereby halving his money. He will do this repeatedly in order to get rid of all his money and avoid suspicion.

You can't connect it to a USB port of a PC without an overpriced proprietary cable.

you cant transfer files to the internal storage (no SD slot) without installing malware called iTunes and connecting to the internet.

to show(prove) that torrents and donations is a viable alternative to the traditional way the movie industry makes money.
(I red somewhere that this is also endorsed by the filmmakers but they they can't say so publicly because of contract with production house)
I agree that it is a viable (and much much better) alternative. However I don't care about the industry, I care about the actual creative people behind the film.

Gotta say, that article seems incredibly misguided to me.
I think BTC might have issues with confirmation time right now that prevent a ton of in-store user adoption, but the long-term important advantage that BTC has, in my view, is transaction cost. Apple isn't going to reduce transaction cost one iota for anybody in the chain, from what I can tell, but somebody pleae correct me if I am wrong.
For ordering online for next-day ship, fo airline tickets, for anything that doesn't require immediate change-of-possession, there is a 4%+ advantage to using BTC.
I just wish somebody would integrate a BTC wallet with gasoline pumps and come up with a way for me to put gas in my car while saving that 4%+, then split that savings with the merchant.
Apple just provides a slicker interface for using the same system of usury.
If anything Apple has proven historically that people are willing to pay a considerably high premium for ease of use (or even perceived ease of use).
Apple pay can go fuck itself.
edit: All the FUD against BTC can be redirected at applepay please. Except this time, it's legitimate.

I think bitcoin has more than proved itself tbh. Acceptance by vendors here and there is not going to help because it's essentially news that bitcoin works and is taken seriously by major companies.
So? We've known this for ages.
For the price to go up the alternatives just have to be given time to fail.
And they will.
I think the next few spikes upward will be as a result of credit card fees going up as a result of them getting used less and less as we use btc more and more
It will be a snowball!

God knows BTC is the internet of money and will be immense in comparison to where it is today, but we all know that this is the speculative, early phase. I actually don't think there's much risk, but patience is required.

If they wanted, they already have not only the financial but the legal means to prevent new lows. It's completely legal to manipulate Bitcoin prices.

Anonymous coins are better at being anonymous. I prefer what they have the potential to be than to what bitcoin is.
However network strength is probably the more important factor and bitcoin is king in that regard.
If a properly anonymous coin gets a large enough hashrate to become reliable, it deserves to become the TOR to our firefox/chrome/i.e/safari.
edit: and if the human race becomes what I hope it can, then we all switch over to TOR + a reliable and fully anonymous coin.

The bear trolling is fair enough to be honest. Gox was a fuck up, China was almost a pump and dump, middle-men and miners are dumping constantly maintaining a vicious, self-perpetuating cycle of bearishness in the market.
However bitcoin will recover from all this. It will just take it's own sweet time.
Personally, I believe in it long term as a world changing technology.

First, I admit to understanding very little of what you said. Second, why not?
Buffett: “It’s a mirage basically, it’s a method of transmitting money, it’s a very effective way of transmitting money and you can do it anonymously and all that… a check is a way of transmitting money, too. Are checks worth a whole lot of money?”

Ugh Jorge. I didn't know you responded to me but people will insist on quoting you driving me to respond to your idiocy.
Yes there is more than one cryptocoin.
I started one today with the exact same code as bitcoin but with one difference, it's called bitcoin2.
It has a network difficulty of 1 and is completely useless.
But yes let us pretend that network strength is not a factor. You've been "intellectually trolling" us here for a year or so, almost gaining hero status, but have failed to learn/acknowledge the most simple elements of what bitcoin is, what cryptocurrencies are, and what the relevant factors are in their utility and reliability.

I assume that 95-99% of this forum would not have heard of bitcoin if the emission would have been infinite from the beginning. satoshis incentive design for bitcoin is from an economics perspective the schumpeterian wet dream for raising awareness for an invention.
For all I know, computer types were first attracted to bitcoin for the pleasure of helping to test a smart solution to an old technical problem. Then libertarians got interested because they saw in bitcoin a way to build an economy independent of government and banks. Then drug users and sellers adopted it as a way to pay for drugs without the DEA knowledge (so they thought). At some point, others noticed the value going up like crazy, and bought into it as a get-filthy-rich-quick scheme.
I suspect that a majority of the people in this forum are from the latter group. The finite supply of bitcoins is important only for that group, because it is part of the argument that "proves" that the price will be astronomical one day. But it is not essential, even to them; that argument would have been only a little less convincing if the supply was programmed to increase 5%/year, forever. So much so, that they are not bothered by the current 5-10% inflation rate.
That is all you know, despite everyone pouring knowledge and superior understandings unto your black hole of an existence.
Now can everyone stop feeding this cunt please?

Shrooms, what you don't seem to understand is that the sells and walls could very well be the people who bought and started the rally in the first place. No one can dump without having bought.
It's like night and day, cold and hot. You can't have one without the other.
And there will most likely always be more people getting into bitcoin than out.
However whether that necessarily means a continually rising price is another question.

Some of the ones that push big Pharma crap, yes. They know their stuff is worthless. But that's not the point. SR is a black market and you never know what you will get. I have black markets all around my house. I would never buy medicine from them.
The amount of shit I have bought on ebay (a
white? market) that doesn't work. Anything under $5.00 doesn't work, and isn't worth the return postage to get the refund. An excellent scam. Similar for Amazon. Amazon have also wrongly sent me items that I didn't order, and taken the money from my card without my authorisation.
I think the silk road was a positive thing, as are other "dark markets." Anyone with a conscious brain knows the war on drugs is both a failure at its stated objective and immoral. It has become a war on the poor and mentally ill.
"From an economic perspective, the purpose of America's war on drugs is to maintain the business model of drug cartels." Silk road did undermine that horrible business model. It was beautiful, and now the site is covered with the graffiti of three letter agencies marking their territory like the canines that they are.

You guys realize people bought 30k BTC @300 on Bitstamp within 24h? To me, evidence is needed to tell that this support should fall, especially when we have had declining selling volume off 418 to 315, which represents a higher low that just shouldn't happen if the bearish momentum was there. This is in addition to the declining asks and rising bid sums.
I have been warning for over a month and harvested only insults and disbelief: that 5th of October was likely a mid term bottom (that much is clear now) and possibly even a long term bottom.
I thought it was obvious to us the bearwhale just ate his own coins. No?
No, the ask was up for many hours, there were many buys and Bitstamp was much lower than other exchanges providing an arbitrage opportunity. It's highly unlikely most of it was bought by the seller himself.
Yes arbitrage, but there are many reason why he might have indeed bought his own wall.
He could have put a large sell order in by mistake, and then feared the price falling due to fear of a market sell if he were to pull it. So he left it there and bought it in order to save himself from that. Thus accidentally (possibly) ending the bear market.
That
might have happened. I'm not saying it did, but it doesn't seem unlikely to me.

To accidentally put up a 30k askwall, you have to have 30k btc on an exchange. Who in their right mind would keep that kind of money on an exchange if they don't intend to do anything with it?
Bearwhale's intention might have been something other than to use it to make a giant ask wall? Maybe it was to dump 1k every time the price rose a little bit.

He buys it out himself to paint a high volume reversal on the charts and to simulate high demand <300, hoping new investors/exited investors will be tempted to come in based on that. If it works, bear markets over, if it doesn't, he puts a bunch of bids on the books with profits from previous sells (and from the actual buys of his 30k ask) to try to pump the price up as much as possible before selling off again and using those proceeds to try again at a lower price.
If you think that an ask that is up for 6h with a price differential to all other exchanges of 3-5% and the price continuously bumping against it during this whole timeframe and considering that the price had been in a relatively steep downtrend beforehand, ie lots of nervously waiting money on the sidelines, will not inevitably lead to many people buying into it, then obviously you've never traded this market in any significant capacity, because you do not appreciate the value of reduced slippage combined with a safe entry at least short term.
But keep doubting. It's fuel.
It's not, I'm a hodlor, and occasional buyer. You are probably right, I'm not trying to troll but there are other possible motivations for the wall.

Anyway... Anyone that was wondering whether they should go all-in now has an even tougher decision to make.
'It's been super bullish, but why the big dump just now? But I WANTED cheaper coins so the dump is good right? Or is it good? Maybe someone will dump more? Maybe I will wait too long to make a decision and it will get pumped again?'

Is it me or does TA seem to NOT REALLY WORK THAT WELL on these markets? I'm not sure if it does on other markets.
Sorry to do this fucking conversation again, I know it's been done to death, but still:
TA will have a serious ability to predict if everyone uses the same algorithms in a mundane market that is old, experienced and has little to no unpredictable events occurring. Because in a market like this, if everyone thinks something is going to happen, then it undoubtedly will.
However bitcoin is new and groundbreaking and therefore its market SURELY is far more at the behest of real world occurrences.
I laugh when I see people talking about legit TA. Seriously, someone needs to compile all the failed attempts and predictions.

Well, they gotta lunch off a BTC bear market when they can. When we go green again, no one will have any interest in any other alt whatsoever.
but ripple isn't even an alt. It's what people who have no idea about bitcoin think about bitcoin. i.e a centralised ponzi scheme. The whole point in blockchain tech is decentralisation.

The same thing that happened the last 11 months. Dumpers trying to take the price down as if it's their life mission. They won't rest till we reached $10 or lower. They just need to destroy this thing, no matter what.
$10 a bitcoin still makes it way stronger than most currencies. People forget how insane it is that our coins are worth $350 each.

Market cap is more important in this regard than unit price. At $10 per bitcoin it can be manipulated by just a handful of millionaires. This is not possible with regular currencies, so calling it ''stronger'' is far-fetched.

Somebody else already done it at least once, so it's not funny the second time... I can donate you one of my posts on 10K if you wish... In exchange you'll troll hard on LambChop for the next 1K pages. Deal?
EDIT: somebody still does it... 10K here we come again!
no they haven't. He was saying he would write a script that meant we stayed on 10k continuously. The dumpers have been keeping us below 10k mostly, not on it.
It would just be funny to watch so many n33bs show up and write "PMG 10k!!" for days on end

It's made worse by people deleting their silly "10k!!" posts which have now fallen below 10k. We are due to a crash all the way down to -100000k posts.

$115 never again, takers?
Reasoning:
I have charted the spot_price/ATH price over Jan-Mar, and I think the rally has already resumed. You can offer to bet with quite good odds that we will never cross 0.95*previous_ATH. And you win the bet with a surprisingly good probability. Chart it yourself, lol. I almost always bought at ATH during those months, since it was the least risky entry point.
The supply of people that think that we are in a bubble/denial/bear market/correction/consolidation/younameit is dwindling, and it's dwindling fast. Especially their economic share of the market is about to be crushed if they do not buy back soon.
Do you still see the people that sold out in February? Where are they? LOL, they made their $10k and are out for good. The next time they will hold bitcoins is when they receive their salary.

sorry to troll the wall thread with this but let's put this to bed.
he said "2300 > soon"
This is an (albeit inelegant) way of saying that soon the price will be less than 2300.
The phrasing is weird I agree, however it is correct (the logic, not the prediction, I actually don't think we'll go much lower than right now).
You seem to disagree with his using > instead of <.
If he had said 2300 < soon then.....ahhh I give up, I think I'm being trolled

It hasn't been that bad, bitcoin has continued to grow, all the layers needed to go on top of the protocol are further on. As long as that continues, mainstream adoption gets closer.
Price didn't reflect that at all, but doesn't need to, as long as it doesn't crash so far that people stop mining and the strength of the network becomes too weak.

There is another way to evade this risk, and it's to spread your investment money over many different assets, but how many of you do that?
Hopefully most sensible adult posters do.
I recall a poll here in the Speculation sub-forum about what percentage of people's net worth was in Bitcoin. Only a few were all or mostly in Bitcoin, I seem to recall.
I've got more in antique musical instruments alone than in Bitcoin but I expect my bitcoins to be worth a lot more eventually. The one asset I'm thin in is fiat currency in the bank but most of my revenues are in fiat so that's not an issue.
I'm basically all in bitcoin. I bought a long time ago and it became worth more than anything else I've ever owned. I bought it because I believe it will succeed to the extent of not being a loss of money, and also because I approve of it. I think it is an emancipatory technology for the 99.9% The middle men who knowingly ruined economies from the 80s to the naughties can be made less relevant.

A long video to explain that dumping more money into AIG is a bad idea and that this somehow indicates that buying into a falling price of a brilliant technology is a bad idea too.
AIG is not bitcoin you mouth breather. AIG wasn't quite a scam, but it did function as the buffer exploited to death by Goldman Sachs who knowingly sold awful CDOs to retirement funds while betting against them in the derivatives market. Trouble is they bet correctly! So correctly that AIG collapsed instantly the minute the CDOs showed themselves to be the shit that they were.
Never mind they all got bailed out by loads of money printing and socialism for the wealthy continued.
Funnily enough bitcoin is the most direct solution to this once unstoppable scam!
But yeah sell it because other people are selling it and you should always follow trends AIG went down once and died, so bitcoin will do the same.

As a difficult, but early year in the emergence of bitcoin comes to a close - it continues to prosper into a more and more powerful network. The units themselves being described as worthless at only $320 by people apparently unaware of what $320 can buy.
If a blockchain can become healthy it will represent a huge amount of power - belonging to a necessarily huge number of people whose interests are simple yet predictably consistent.
Absolute domination becomes inevitable for the world's first and most sought after real change to the old, creaking, bloated, largely inaccessible, reckless and ultimately unnecessary banking paradigm. Not because it replaces it, but because it isn't constrained by limiting factors that have been overcome thanks to the internet and the solving of the Byzantine General's problem.
The anti-fragility of simplicity cannot be questioned.

I don't know about risto, since I don't pay attention to him because I feel he has never been worth listening to, but I distinctly remember adam being bullish basically the entire way down, to the point where he lost his family over it.

I spent the whole of 2012 wanting to buy loads but not wanting to spend insane amounts on bank transfer fees.
(edit: the irony of handing cash to a bank to buy bitcoins was too much for me to bare, so I didn't do it until 2013. Got in before all the fireworks though
). Also, yes MtGox taught us not to keep money in exchanges, as did Tradehill, bitcoin.de, bitcoincentral, bitstamp (even though most of those services eventually returned their users coins). Apparently no matter how many times we learn this lesson, it has to get retaught!

Each step up from here is likely to be met with substantial resistance.
Markets are more plentiful and mature, as are the players.
Sideways with a slight upward incline is my guess, with the inevitable spikes and dips, but nothing like the moonshots and dub-step style drops of the past.
Just a guess of course, this is bitcoin after all, anything can happen.

I reckon teh fun and games haven't even started yet. 2018/2019 gonna make this all seem like a little warm up. I'm talking about the technology and its reach, and its utility. How this will be reflected in the price I don't know.

I absolutely love this stability. This is far more than an asset that can be manipulated to transfer wealth from the many to the few.
Also, sudden ups and sudden down hurt the largest amount of people.
The best realistic scenario for the price is that it stays where it is, or slowly climbs.

That been said. Bitcoin isn't Gold, Steel or Cement. In theory an ETF (or similar) shouldn't be necessary. I understand that a lot of investors like to work that way, but it's kind of odd when they just as well could open an account on Coinbase and trensfer it to a Trezor.
hardware devices can fail...
face it hodling isnt easy.
It ain't. I've been in to bitcoin for years, and only last year did I manage to get something that didn't keep me awake at night.
When people ask me for help getting in, I send them an email about 1000 words long explaining what to do and what not to do.

And what was that? I still feel some discomfort.
laptop. battery powered. room with no windows. take out HD. boot up with tails. insert USB stick with bitaddress.org HTML on it. Open html in firefox. generate wallet. connect to dumb printer. print out wallet. LAMINATE KEYS (one story on here of a guy spilling whisky all over his paper wallet). put in fire proof safe. extra points if you destroy the laptop afterwards (totally unnecessary
).
I sleep fairly well now.
But something more secure still is on its way as I've told too many people that this is what I did.

Seriously , cats do not even really bounce.
Chuck one off the top of a skyscraper and see what happens.
Splat.
Actually,
The terminal velocity of a falling cat is often non-lethal.
Real live data even suggests cats falling off the 7th floor or above will have less injuries compared to 6th floor or below:

That only works up to a certain height...

Yea I think 230's will not survive, possibly by tomorrow.
Might get another test of $230 but sellers are not making much of an impact.
Volume is surprisingly low, which means we may be entering the Wyckoff accumulation trading range stage C, where the stock goes through testing by the composite operator. Volume trails off as most floating supply is now in strong hands, and there are a series of tests to see how low of a price in which the CO can accumulate any remaining scraps. This ends with either rising bottoms, or a washout to the floor of the range which will immediately reverse into a strong rally if volume is not high. Obviously you don't want to be caught on the wrong side of this so best to wait it out and don't panic if it happens.
There is a saying... "if you can't shake them out, tire them out." This is the stage we are in. Hold tight, because stage D and E are the markup phases if there's no new supply and everyone refrains from panicking into the CO's open bags. Next few weeks/months should be interesting.
So you're saying...
the next few weeks/months r critical?

if there is some a big move into bitcoin in greece, say this time next year 10% of greek pop uses bitcoin and its accepted everywhere in greece we could very well see 32,000$ in less than 2 years. 10% of greece's pop is ~1 million poeple, assuming these 1million poeple hodl a 500$ balances in bitcoin we're looking at half a billion dollars pumped into bitcoin, but it won't stop there, having a real world economy use bitcoin is going to improve investor confidence, and i could easily see 10-20billion get pumped into bitcoin as a result, but it won't stop there, economies will crash around the world one by one, and seeing how greeks all got rich off of using bitcoin, they will all want to do the same thing, the decentralization of world domination is well under way! but it won't stop there aliens will come down from the heavens and buy bitcoin.

in times of economic booms poeple have more money and feel rich enough to buy some bitcoin as a risky speculative investment
in times of economic busts poeple have less faith in fiat and start looking for ways out of the dollar and find bitcoin
how can we lose?
in times of economic booms people have no need for bitcoin
in times of economic busts people have no money for bitcoin.
that's how

I will leave this place soon. Bitcoin is dead, it's only down from here and i sold everything i got quite a while ago so there is nothing for me here anymore.
I tried to help the few delusional bulls who just won't give up but they don't appreciate my warnings very much. Ah well, your money. I don't care really.
I'll come back every 50 dollar drop for some entertainment. So long and thanks for buying my coins at 400. Poor schmucks.
Good luck with your pump and dump coin.
I feel sorry for all the idiots who sold at these ridiculous prices and i will laugh at all the bears who will get caught in trap after trap the coming weeks.
The only winners are the holders (like me) and the people who pick up the last cheap coins while they can.
We're going up and it's confirmed!

give up. mongolian monster farms will dump at any price to wipe out competition. their break even is around 160, thats where we're heading. l
They can dump 3600 new BTC per day.
presumably they only sell what they need to cover their costs. selling any more would make the thing they are acquiring worth less overall.

Haha, I literally lol'd a bit when reading that... that has got to be the steepest free fall I've seen during the rise, and just like that *POOF* back up to $400... I mean really, WTF is going on?
there's no depth and huge volume therefore price fluctuates wildly.
when you're sitting between 220 and 230 for months the are huge walls either side, currently we could fall down $100 easily or rise to $600 just as easily.

404 : WHALE NOT FOUND
#IMO
some people sell his bitcoin and withdraw his dollar/Fiat because "the price" is very dangerous
In autumn 2014 the price rose to about 420 then crashed. That makes it a point of resistance because people still remember it. A parabolic rise can't continue indefinitely, it has to start heading downwards somewhere and points of resistance often herald the start of a down trend. It could go either way here.
So let me get this straight:
It can go up - or down
amazing.
also, it could go sideway - people always forget that one.

Orderbooks everywhere look so thin.
Can anyone who traded in 2013 talk to us about how they looked during the run-up?
I'm sure there are hidden sell and buy orders, but is the velocity of volume comparable to 2013?
it feels exactly like it did in february 2013. what happened afterwards seemed batshit insane, then it fell back majorly. people blame gox's engine for that, but it was way overbought anyway. if it hadn't been gox, it would have been something else. bubbles pop very easily.
main lesson in 2013 was, if you sold you got hurt bad unless you were one lucky mofo.
sorry it's hard to be of much help, but this is new territory for all of us. no one knows what's going to happen apart from the guy with enough money to bend the market to his will.

440-470 at its current rate .... any correction will quickly get eaten up and likely recover in 30min to 1 hour . This volatility is very bad ... it reflects that bitcoin has reversed course and no longer becoming more stable year after year but still very immature and volatile ... hopefully this will change in 1-5 years.
That's news? It wasn't stability it was despair and boredom.
agree, if bitcoin as an experiment is successful, it's price must shoot up many times.

It is now quite clear that this latest huge P & D was orchestrated by the USMS to ensure they got the maximum value out of the auction. Now that the auction is over, down we go! Thank goodness they have no more "seized" bitcoins to sell. Hopefully we will now see Bitcoin steadying itself.
it is a very obvious pattern, but us humans are programmed to find them everywhere
230 all the way to 500 then back dwon to 300 ish?
i'm happy, its a healthy rise.

a collapse in the world economy and a banking implosion wouldn't do bitcoin any good.
getting in a car accident doesn't suddenly mean you teleport into a "safer on a per mile basis, should have thought of this before i chose to drive 300 miles" airplane.
you lie there in mangled metal thinking "if i ever recover from this, i probably shouldn't do this again"
if you do recover, you change your mind and go back to driving anyway.
bitcoin adoption needs to carry on as it is, slowly chomping away at the ankles, and banks need to slowly accept their diminishing role.

Yep. I ran it for the first 12 months, thru all it's network indecision, refactorings etc.
It ended up a shadow of it's former darkmarket self, unable even to do Tor.
Not expecting much better in the new release except maybe a better GUI.
OTOH, in the background and relatively stealthed, there's bitmarket which seems to just work as expected (Tor, escrow working, etc.).
Disclaimer: i haven't tried bitmarket...
https://github.com/AyrA/BitMarketit's not supposed to be a market place specific to anything. the point is that people can use it for whatever they want, not just drugs and fake passports.

You made the mistake of assuming someone who puts up multiple $2 million sell walls on several different exchanges in the exact same position wants the price of Bitcoin to go down even though they own millions of dollars worth of it.
I mean, this is wall-observer 101 isn't it? Sell walls are for accumulating at lower prices.
TERA doesn't seem to agree. i don't really know how to see it. i tend not to look at the markets, more the actual tech and the growth in transactions and users.

the guy who sold his house for bitcoin last year is about to break even!
Well, well, well... I am back for an update.
Originally (in Post #1) sold my house for approximately $400,000 Canadian, and got approximately 648 BTC in the transaction. BTC is currently at approximately $450 US each. This makes my investment worth $291,600 in U.S. Dollars. Now also note that the Canadian Dollar has tanked really hard in the last year and is now at a 12 year low, around .72c US. That makes my Bitcoin currently worth $405,000 Canadian!. I am currently up on my initial investment! I did weather the storm when it sat at $200 for a long time (and crapped my pants from time to time and did a lot of drinking), but now my time has come. For all those that laughed, we will see who is laughing in 2016!
HODL!
Happy Holidays and Happy New Year,
Tay More

you do understand that eventually miners are going to need money from people transacting, not just block rewards right? next year they become twice as dependent on this... it's an element of bitcoin. and it's not fatal. how else do you keep a blockchain healthy?

I thought that was Bitcoin's main purpose, not as the vehicle for speculation that it seems to have become.

it's a valuable asset that is easy to transfer. it wouldn't be that if people couldn't gamble with it.

more people are mining, so hashrate has gone up, so network adjusts by making it more difficult to find blocks, therefore keeping supply of bitcoin predictable.

It appeared that people were referencing a one-off, gigantic event that would make the hash rate jump up - I assumed this was something in the news that I missed about new mining equipment being deployed or something of the sort.
Since someone mentioned this down to the exact block, I assumed it was something more than just a re-target.

Well, I have to disagree with you for now then. But we watched the originals last week at home and will probably watch the prequels in the coming week or two so it will be interesting to compare.
Do bear in mind that I am making some allowances for the fact that when I saw the originals, I was in single digits age-wise.

Well, bitcoin supply is limited after all. And most people aren't here for the 300-400-500-700 prices, so they aren't selling
On the other hand, traders "locked profits" after a good rise, expecting a correction that never came. So what can they do now? They are either on the sidelines watching the rise, or FOMO'ing back in.
sounds good.

and you should, imho. i had good experience in all regards with stamp. i had funds @bitcoin24 when it got closed by german authorities, i had funds on bitcoin-central when it got hacked. i had funds on gox when it was hacked twice 2011 and when it was hacked 2014. i had funds on bitstamp when it got hacked jan.2015. while bitstamp hack i was relaxed because i knew those guys would not let their customers bleed. during all the other hacks i was getting nervous.
haha the funny thing is i dealt with all those companies too (except bitcoin24). so glad i just used them all as on ramps and didn't chose to park my car there. i feel so bad for the people that lost their coins on gox.

Ok serious question. Does anyone have an exit strategy here? I mean this is obviously another great Chinese commodity bubble. Remember rebar steel? Hell they just finished blowing up their stock market. This is serious.
I don't see a need for an exit strategy before ATH is broken. It's too risky to try to guess the top or risk that's it's actually an ATH rally and if it's not am ATH rally then the drop isn't going to go that low. Now if ATH gets broken and doubles then I can start thinking about a crash trading strategy
we're not stupid enough to miss out on an opportunity like that.
just tell us what your strategy is, and we'll copy you.

adam, they are instead trying to build a more reliable system whereby you can see better in the dark because a larger, brighter lightbulb is a poor solution to the problem.
guys, if you want bigger blocks, run nodes that allow for bigger blocks. what do you want the devs to do? change one line that says "maxblocksize=1" and change it to a 2?
the core devs are working on other shit. and i agree with the advice of many people more technical than me. that simply getting bitcoin to do what it does now but with 20x the blocksize, or 8x is unsafe.
the debate has been done to absolute death and it's probably best not to take it any further than this. i was undecided on the blocksize issue for 6 months, but am happy now with segwit and other solutions.

-I use it as a savings account and have used it to buy merchandise
-I have looked at the code and am interested in coding improvements, services, or an alt.
However do to the markets and my OCD/ADD, I can't focus on anything but the markets. The market attention has even wreaked havoc in the rest of my life.

Racist zenophobia and economic suicide aren't good for anybody.
agreed, though i believe dismissing the vote as purely those things is failry elitist.
more to the point, the general rocking of the boat means money dries up all over the planet and experimental new things like bitcoin suddenly don't have the same amount of money pouring into the space.
i think we really get ahead of ourselves when we consider bitcoin to be something like gold that gets bought up when traditional finance loses people's confidence.
eventually, yes, but right now? no way. we're still a baby.

The stock market went down on news of Hillary's fbi investigation at the same time the btc surge happened. When Hillary wins the stock market will go back up and btc will dump. I will quote myself next week when I'm right.

I can't wait for bitcoin to start trading in the 800's. That will be a first time for me in my bitcoin adventure.
It seems as if the price has already stabilized in the $700-range.
really? i think people may be waiting for a....
rather significant world event to transpire before making any trading decisions.
Trump is winning start buying boys!

i guess people here have matured or maybe the whole thing hasn't been violent enough. i wonder if movements are permanently quelled or this is a breather before something big.
Or people aren't here to cheer for 800$... 8000$ maybe...
as fun as the insane shit was back in 2013, i really don't want more of that. every insane bull run we had horrific damaging crashes. i LOVE this calm and steady increase that we've been having for the last year or so.

What do you think the high of 2017 will be? Do you think $4K will be it, or do you think higher? This is the first time I experienced it getting close to an ATH so I'm out of my depth.
i've experienced all of them since $31.
given the history of bitcoin's price movements my hunch is that it'll run up to fairly close to $10k and then crash back down to the $3500-$5500 range for a while.
after that it's unlikely to crash again like the past 2 bubbles. there isn't the potential for disaster that there once was that would trigger these things.
so i imagine that after that another brief period will follow of not much movement and then another run up past $10k and suddenly flying all the way up to silly money in the hundreds of thousands and millions.
segwit becoming activated will make me more optimistic and committed to this guess. but even without any scaling attempt at all bitcoin's future is guaranteed and therefore it's appeal as a store of value is too.

trying to compare the data from 2013.
there seems to just be generally less volume on exchanges. even taking into account the more expensive price, are there just way more exchanges now that are spreading the volume out?
edit: where we are at now most reminds me of Oct 29th 2013 which would suggest we were about to go absolutely mental over the next month which is possible.
my only qualm is that the late 2013 bubble is the one i have the least faith in. people were buying coins because they couldn't get cash out of MtGox any other way.

If they were all buying coins to get cash out of MtGox they would have immediately dumped them on another exchange and banked the money. More of them must have continued holding than were selling otherwise the price wouldn't have bubbled.
i'm not saying they wanted "fiat" cash, but just that people were seriously dubious about gox's solvency and wanted to get out of it. and the run for the exits involved buying bitcoin with cash inside the (then) dominant exchange. this is funnily enough a description of china.
with bitcoin it's always a run for the exits. just as andreas has started saying lately.

You know how I know? None of my non-techie friends, family, or colleagues have so much as heard anything about or mentioned this rise.
Even some of the techie ones have still yet to hear about it.
I've always said that I'll know that Bitcoin has truly made it when a certain few of them says to me, "So have you heard about this Bitcoin thing yet?"
that's GOOD news. because we are going crazy and no one else has even joined in yet.
last time we were in this range the media was going nuts, now they barely give a shit. but they will about $500 from now. then we get the next bubble which will make many of us here millionaires.

Either bitcoinwisdom or bitcoinity ...
bitcoinity. if you check any exchange that opened in 2014 or later, there is a good chance you will see the flashing sign today.
for absolute ATH, you'll have to keep your eye on stamp.
that would just show flashing green around the price. the lightning stuff is i think only for ath in the selected currency, though i haven't been watching the CNY page.

my only question right now regards how much longer china can remain tolerant of people using bitcoin to get around the capital controls.
the most important factor in this would be how much clout and wealth the people engaging in this have.
bitcoin was designed for the unbanked masses not the chinese middle class (specifically anyway).
of course both are in accordance with the values of the old school bicoiners among us, but it's worth considering i think.

I feel sorrow for most of you. Most of you have never been rich with a lot of money. Sooner or later you'll inevitably be tempted to sell your bitcoins and buy something you think you need. Rich people will buy out your bitcoins. They will be rich again and you will end up having some useless glossy trash. And most important, you'll turn into bitcoin haters because you''ll never be allowed to buy back your bitcoins at the same price.
wut? i've never been "rich" so to speak, well i am now thanks to bitcoin. but if you think i'm selling these for less than 10k each you've got another thing coming!

i guess just lower them a bit in accordance with your gut feeling about the "new low".
if you needed something more sustainable and reliable as a business person i'd guess you'd be charging the BTC equivalent of a fixed dollar amount which you're not doing which implies a certain amount of flexibility is possible for you.

Yep - one here Spooder. That would be fantastic.
The crazy thing is, I've tried to explain bitcoin to quite a few people over the last few years. Some have nodded approvingly - but most have been sceptical. But none that I know of have acquired any BTC. I'm watching this rise on my own (so to speak)
The one I'm waiting for is $1163 on stamp. And I'm starting to think I might see it before 23:59 GMT.
I have spent so much time watching the price over the festive period its embarassing.
very similar story here bro. so many people i know have been saying to me "mate i wish i'd got involved back then" they have been saying this since january 2013.

It's exactly the same for me, I have to refresh it every time I want to know the latest price. At least bitcointalk's holding up to all the extra load.
it's not a rally until bitcointalk is getting effectively DDOS'd

Me too.
Got into LTC around August 2013. At one point had 3 rigs running 4X7970 then R290X. Made a tidy sum as LTC approached the dizzying hieghts of Ł50 a coin!
Got out of the game after about 6 months whilst the GPUs still had residual value and sold all the kit for around 60% cost price. The money I made mining during this time well exceeded the shortfall in sale price and electricity consumption.
At that point I converted to BTC (just as well as LTC started tanking soon after).
From then on I began purchasing BTC whenever the price seemed low and while I still believed that the technology would prevail.
I had some dark days and panic sold on some occasions but soon bought back when I saw things began to pick up.
At one point I remember thinking that I would hold out even if it went to zero since cashing out at that time wouldn't really produce anything worthwhile and I didn't need the money at that time.
Boy am I glad I HODLed!!!!
I am almost peeing myself watching my savings increase so rapidly.
I have since learnt to sell in small amounts on the way up at increments of around 8 to 10% and to buy back the same amount when price drops between 8 and 10%.
I am loving BTC at the moment ;-)
hats off to you! you did very well. i bought some litecoin in 2013 as well, i can't even remember what i did with them. what is the dollar value now?

The next 2 days are critical. If there will be a successful pump, eventually leading to about 1050$ - 1100$, then this will be a EW one, and after months of sideways we'll see 2000$ or more.
If however the pump will fail, then we'll see a major correction, down to about 600$ and the possibility of a new bear market.
quoting because i doubt either of these scenarios.
my hunch is a smaller dump back into high 800s.

There has never been such thing as bad time for buying bitcoin. Time is always good. Just buy it incrementally and use your own long term money you can easily afford to lose.

You did see it, the finex high was $1110.
We are now well above 1000 Euros, coinmarketcap says it's an average of €1017.81 and google says it's an average of €1028.
Even after some correction, Bitcoin is trading at $1080.
All we need is one push to take us to an ATH in dollar terms.
According to Dooglus' charts, we already reached an ATH in most other currency terms.
the ATH is a while away still if we want to have any hope of not crashing right back down again.

High, very high imho. That is press catnip when China does that. Easy gloom doom btc story to write
Then when btc pumps again they write the opposite piece to the moon. Rinse/Wash/Repeat.
Lots of eyeballs for both stories. Very little research needed but the over the top headline hook
last banning had such a tiny effect. i think if governments want to fuck with bitcoin now they are going to have to raise their game somewhat.

Good morning ladies and gentlemen of Bitcoinland.
It's nice to see that 1000EUR seems to be holding along with yesterday's gains.
The battle for $1100 continues though... currently $1097USD at Bitcoinaverage, after bursting through and then pulling back.
As I said yesterday, I figure we'll probably spend a few days of sideways consolidation before the next proper leg up past the Stamp ATH.
It was nice to see the CAD price pass $1450 even if dropped a little since.
Go Bitcoin go. Anyone still waiting for $800?

I think everyone agrees that it is more likely that the ETF will be denied, so it is priced and nothing would in practice.
I'd guess plenty of people have taken a bet on a yes. I expect a fair few of them to do a runner in the case of a no. It's the most exciting bit of action on the horizon so if it's not happening then there might be a short term sag. Everyone loves potential hype.
Some traders are speculating there will be a bit of a dump before they announce the ETF decision. They think a significant number of the traders anticipating a no will take profits early. In the long term I don't think it matters, Bitcoin's price will soon recover from the latest bad news.
no ETF would piss on our parade quite bad tbh. but somehow my mind imagines it happening and the price barely even falling as far as $1k.

we got problems right now imo.
the game theory of the blocksize split is becoming interesting to say the least.
it annoys me that it had to come to this, but bitcoin was always going to be attacked in the worst ways possible and this has proven to be the most effective.
right now we are on a jumbo jet mid flight, that so far (and thanks to the hard work of stunning people) has not crashed (no pun intended).
during this flight a bunch of passengers with poor understanding have decided that the pilots and engineers are clueless and need to be undermined.
how anyone thinks making the blocksize larger would solve anything (other than temporarily buying some time at the cost of sacrificing some decentralisation) in the long run is beyond me.
i've been in this thread for years and hedl through all the unpleasantness we have encountered without complaint.
i can handle propaganda campaigns, china bans, governments buying and dumping at opportune times, volatility, and year long bear markets.
i'm finding it very difficult to handle the sheer idiocy that is bitcoin unlimited.
(in all earnestness, i am not qualified to judge the code itself, if there is something that you think i don't realise about big blocks, please point it out to me. my mind is open).

The blocksize will obviously need to be larger or the fees will become too big. Why is that hard to understand tho?
it's not, but your understanding lacks any nuance. with larger blocks comes problems i'm assuming you aren't aware of.

I think this vector needs to be closed down with an automated algorithmic increase of some sort that will eliminate disagreements that can be used for social-engineering a fork.
If
core bitcoin hadn't been so obstinate in rebuffing
community people who underestimate the risk of large blocks' demands, BU probably never would have been implemented. Don't expect them to change course now. Even with the obvious state of The SegWit Omnibus Changeset never reaching the 95% activation level.
and core setting such a high bar shows that they are more concerned with consensus that with "winning" - as they should be.
a conservative approach is necessary here.

Good morning Bitcoinland.
I see that after Friday's drama we seem to have gotten back to Bitcoin's normal state of affairs, creeping upward... currently $1205USD (Bitcoinaverage).
In my opinion, there were more people anticipating ETF rejection than approval, as evidenced by polls ranging from 30%-50% expecting acceptance.
This led many to save the fiat that they otherwise would have spent on bitcoins during the period leading up to the decision, hoping to buy a deep dip.
When the dip wasn't as deep as anticipated, they waited for a further dip which hasn't come yet. They're now starting to realize that another large drop might not immediately happen, so they're starting to use those reserved funds to buy more coins while the price is still down.
Hopefully most of us were smart enough to buy when prices were below $1100 and not get too greedy by waiting for it to drop much below $1000.
Personally, when I saw it momentarily go below $1000 and bounce right back up over again, I made my move and bought my coins.
Now in retrospect I'm glad I did.
seems like a fair analysis. i also rode the waves nicely i'm proud to say (first time ever). i sodl the second it got rejected, bought back below $1k and increased my stash a little.

I don't really consider is quite that, I see it more as a hostile takeover attempt. If it was just Gavin, Roger etc it wouldn't be so bad because they can be easily ignored. But someone like Wu with the sheer amount of hashrate he has under his control is troublesome for me.

Its the best to stay away and stop with trading for ever for me. There is just that one moment when you finally lose your controll and pacience and start making stupid moves.
So i will build my cold stash (trying to increase it with 250%) with my fiat money.
Just remember that holding also requires patience and control. It also requires sufficient resources that you don't have to sell during times of lower prices.
If you're barely getting by and see your holdings worth a fraction of what they were worth, it can be really hard not to sell, especially if you strongly feel the price will keep going down.
Those are the times you should be buying more, albeit incrementally keeping enough spare fiat on hand to buy if it dips further.
Accumulating fiat from your normal income during periods of flat or rising prices is a good policy. That way you're always prepared to buy the dip.
Just
never sell.
ashamed to admit that i panic sodl at 950 when it first crashed down there about a week ago.
but i hedl my ground and bought back at about 910
lucky me.
also very importantly,
we seem to be
almost out of the woods with this BUllshit Unlimited attack.
there seem to be critical mass of people who understand the importance of decentralisation. god knows how long we can prevent it though: the average bitcoin user will get stupider, and the attacks will get cleverer.

As long as the banksters can keep a lid on bitcoin price via shorting, stimulating infighting and division (BU support) and meanwhile pump up Ripple and Ethereum they are winning.
The useful idiots over at BU have convinced themselves they are 'fighting the good fight' by blocking progress and encouraging bitcoiners to defect to etheruem to express their 'disapproval' at some unspecified bogeymen like 1MB4EVA. Bankster supporters are luvving it and jump on to fuel the fires of hate, suspicion, FUD and division at every opportunity, giving the useful idiots the moral and 'popular' support through a sock-puppetry crusade. See adam's cartoons for example, these are modern political satire masquerading as comic fun memes but add exactly zero to technical solutions for bitcoin tx capacity increases.

ASIC mining has always been a den of thieves, scam-artists, conmen and bullshitters.
God knows how many people have been ripped off and turned off bitcoin by collapsed, scammy or outright thieving cheats surrounding ASIC mining schemes. Jihan is just the latest King Rat shithead that is at the top of the dung-heap for now ... the sooner people get used to the idea that ASIC miner producers and mining farms are generally a bunch of scumbag fucktards that have never given two shits about bitcoin the sooner we can move ahead on a sound philosophical basis.
Any devs who try to make nice with the miners is setting themselves up for fail ... the miners need to be treated like shit (mostly because they are a bunch of shit) or else they will ruin it.
Even monkeys and babies know to avoid unhelpful, anti-social individuals.

JJG is heavily invested in BTC and wants to profit, thus he cheerleads. Can't blame him, he's acting in his own best interest.
You can withdraw CHF (Swiss Francs) and HKD (Hong Kong Dollars) from Bitfinex as an alternative to crypto withdrawals. All fiat deposits are suspended.
All
deposits are suspended? Is that what you meant to say?

And we only would get closer if LTC started to really gain adoption, which in the short term would make bitcoin suffer.

I do agree. But again, all this does is give "legitimacy" to the PREVIOUS ATH. Also it is starting to consolidate as new bottom/support.
But I won't be calling NEW ATH until it is clearly above ($100+ more would make it) the previous one. That is what would signal to me that a new rally has started. It is also what I am expecting for this week.
i'll wait for an all time high that includes a china that works and a bitfinex that's either dead or back to its old self.
BFX seems to have nothing to do with it. If it did the other exchanges would be moving down not up.

Holy moley.
Turn my back for an hour and it's another leg up.
Even Stamp is over $1420. Bitcoinaverage shows $1960CAD.
Waiting for Google to show $2kCAD so I can post my meme.
This is going up a little too fast now for my liking. I hope the inevitable correction isn't too severe.
If it is, I'll certainly buy more. Meanwhile let's just enjoy the ride.
I think we're just getting started TBH.
I think around $3k is when the serious dumping will happen. (I know I've been all over the place with my predictions lately but....)

So at this point ya gotta feel for those that got caught up in the 2013 bubble.
I.e., bought around the 1000 mark during height of hype but did not manage to hodel during that seemingly
endless (in crypto terms anyway) bear market of 2015 but instead sold their coins around 230 (the price it hovered around at that time)
to cut their then perceived losses.
Oh man, you know there are a few of those people out there. I was a hodeling home miner during that time,
most likely mining at a loss, but for whatever reason, kept at it for a that whole year of price in the toilet,
while paying an astronomical electric bill. I guess I never lost faith and held, thank goodness, .Sold miner, kept the coins(most that is)!
In hindsight best financial decision I ever made. I’m still hodeling.
GO BITCOIN!!
2015 was a bull market. the trend reversed in Jan 2015 if I remember. It took all year to gather steam though.
At the rate we're going right now, 2017 could be the most insane price appreciation yet.

Quoted from Slack Chat with Craig Wright
https://pastebin.com/zU6YZWXK "Layer 2 networks will require the introduction of AML and intermediary controls. These are localised networks in the form of existing intermediaries.
They can be allowed to operate with Bitcoin competitively, but not at the expense of open exchange. This being what they fear, why use L2 if you have no need?
Those who do not think that government can set in and control this are either naive or malicious. There is no other view. This is not a false dichotomy. These are the only options.
In all cases, L2 will require systems that can be controlled and they will require the interaction of merchants and other parties. Networks such as lightning centralise and offer control on a platter."
Entirely false information. Your mistake was believing a word that clown says.

You are claiming that LN will create centralization somehow. I see no reason to think that this is the case.
It may not be perfect, but you can't have an infinitely big block size. So layer 2 has to happen and LN is the best way to make it happen.

You can scale Bitcoin to a fair extent without modifying the block size. Segwit -> Schnorr + Signature aggregation -> LN/sidechains/TumbleBit/Mimblewimble.
This is exactly what Bitcoin needs, the only one who's blocking it is that anoying little brat called Jihan Wu.
Entirely correct, and we can absolutely butcher him for this. I don't want to advocate vengeful behavior but it is tempting.
None the less, a UASF means he just has to play fair, it doesn't make his equipment useless like a PoW change would.
UASF is a peaceful way to counter an aggressive attack.

Even weirder, the BTC-E price is actually higher than the Bitfinex price. Not a good sign IMO - the price is going up too fast for arbitrage and sentiment about exchanges to even out these gaps.
bear in mind (no pun intended) that the % differences are tiny at such high prices.
it's amazing to see $100 movements count for such a small change in %.

I wouldn't call it Bitmain-fiasco. I would call it: "Ignoring the necessity of scaling for 3 years fiasco."
Until this day you have peeps like LunaticLuke that say openly that the high fees are good and the blocksize should be shrunk to 0.5MB.
Also we had a solution early 2016, remember? The miners and some core devs agreed for 2MB+SW. What happend? Core just openly gave a fuck about that agreement. Seriously, to blame just one side is rather biased.
Don't be an idiot.
You're presenting an absurd view pushed by bitmain, ver trolls and /btc.
If you'd care to do some research into this you'd realize you've been misled.

Looks like the weak hands are leaving bitcoin for the hodlers. They can tell their grandchildren that they invested in bitcoin way back in 2017 when it was only 4 digits but they got scared when the price dropped so they sold it all.
Strong hands hodl USD now.
blitz? is that you??

If there is no such thing as a unity called "Core" then you will never be getting closer to any agreement as they where in the beginning of 2016.

Do you even understand Bitcoin? If you want proof-by-proxy then either go to Barrycoin or Jihancoin.
Oh, i understand Bitcoin very well. Bitcoin relies on a consensus-mechanism called "Proof of Work" and as such it's the miners that effectively decide what happens. You don't like it? OK, but what other consensus-mechanism do you propose? "Proof of Node"? "Proof of Reddit Account"?
You see you are right that Bitcoin means NO backdoor decisions, yes. But then you should also understand that in the Bitcoin ecosystem it's PoW that decides and nothing else.
And who decides if the PoW is valid?
Stop being obtuse.

Learn Bitcoin mate. How do miners at the moment decide which block is valid and which isn't? It's the same principle that sorts out doublespends or any other malicious block. Majority of PoW decides what Bitcoin-block is correct and which isn't.
sigh. just listen to Lauda. I suspect you're not a shill but just a bit too egoistical to back down when you've been outsmarted. We need people like you, but it'd handy if you weren't relatively clueless about how this all works.

Luke? Luke states to this very day that 0.5Mb is enough. LOL
He has his reasons.
Yeah, he wants to hurt the entire bitcoin ecosystem because he is a narcissistic prick. That's not a fucking good reason. That or he is just an uninformed retard, doesn't really make a difference.
If one person can harm the entire community then there is centralisation in that area. That is the case with mining, and the manufacturing of mining equipment. You don't have to run Luke's code to use bitcoin, but you can't help having transactions included in blocks mined by Bitmain.
I suspect it is you who is the uninformed retard

Ibian, doing more of the same stuff in the same way is the least intelligent possible way to scale. And in fact, attempting to do that in bitcoin actually causes problems to increase more rapidly than benefits.
(Do I have to explain why larger blocks create runaway centralisation?)

It can be done pretty much literally by changing one number, it has the least potential complications and has to my understanding already been tested with no meaningful complications.
This whole thing is stupid. It's not one or the other. Do both.
Just because it only requires changing a number doesn't mean it's a good idea lol.
Are you serious with this argument?

We needed bigger capacity a year ago. Whatever efficiency benefits other ideas bring, they are further increased by bigger blocks. Do both, and do the part we can do now, now.
If it can be done, why hasn't it? I actually am fine with 2MB+SW but that doesn't mean I have the power to make it happen.

I always found it quite surprising how we could have a quasi-bear shill as a moderator... go figure?
It was me who was bullish the entire time since the 200s until now while people like you were pissing their pants. Go look it up.
What you don't understand is that there are less risky (low risk, high reward) and more risky (high risk, low reward) times to be a hodler. Guess which time is now.
Sorry man, I'll never get sick of reminding you about the "triple digit lie" you highlighted in summer 2013. it literally spent 3.5 years in the triple digits after you said that.
My main concern is ETH fucking up once too often and somehow screwing up bitcoin in the process. So much money is getting thrown in the fire with these scam ICOs.
And I expect a little turbulence in July before UASF kicks in. Hopefully the pathological miners don't do anything stupid like fork themselves into oblivion or continue to mine legacy.
