The poll should have been ">9000"
That!

It should be >8000 according to the original... translation seems hard these days.
Especially chinese/mandarin articles & BTC.

Overstock CEO bought in the 800s and now is getting desperate  Grin Grin Grin

Honestly though I hate that guy; something about him just seems off to me. He's one of those guys spreading bullshit. On these forums you will find the same people but they have no power and are usually hodlers, but when someone in his position shouts BUY BUY BUY, to me its not constructive and its more pyramidschemeesque. Some people will get me wrong, and that's fine. I like when important people give good reasons for bitcoins future utility, or cryptocurrency in general.
The funny thing is I didn't even read the article, or letter, or whatever it is this guy wrote about bitcoin until just now, even though I heard about it earlier today and glanced at it and came up with some preconcieved conclusions about it. But now that I just actually read it, I don't change any of my conclusions. Read the whole article - it does not give any good reasons to invest in bitcoin or anything. It talks about how great this CEO guy is and how he believes it bitcoin and how he is such an innovative person, just awesomeness, exactly why I need to put my money into bitcoin immediately. The whole article appeals to his character or whatever and that's why we should believe in him.
Honestly I think its great that this guy wants to risk a lot of money buying bitcoin; there is a good chance he and others will make a lot of money off of bitcoin in the future. I just don't think we need any more bullshit from this guy who really has nothing to add to the community; he seems desperate to use bitcoin just because it might save his company or something.

I'd imagine abusing bitcoin from someone who studied something in the field of economics, he however studied philosophy which for me gives him the favor of doubt in genuinely supporting the ideas behind bitcoin.

The sad truth is, Shrooms is more right than wrong. But this is obviously the wrong thread to expect any support.
Daytraders are basically parasites, who bring nothing productive to the world, while leeching on 'organisms' until it dies or becomes too stable/big to be profitable.
It's their choice of life, you can only hope some day the price shoots up by a great amount and they are left holding fiat at the time.
In the meantime, enjoy wasting your life staring at screens all day.

Mislead? This thread is about 70% bears calling doom & gloom, misleading people to drop the price right after they sold.

when looking at the alt market: 2nd generation coins (ETH, NXT) and the privacy enhanced coins (darkcoin, cloak..) and the copycats and the shitcoins, I get really scared.... I think if it wasn't to these coins the price of Bitcoin would be really lower than we even think, an example of how people invest in alts is by firstly buying bitcoin and converting it to the alt, the alt owners (miners, pumpers, developers...) usually hold most of the profits in which are usually huge.

a look at ethereum: they already sold more than 31 million this makes for more than 15000BTC



Why you'd drop any coin for vaporware is beyond me.
And it's actually less than 15000, every day(?) the amount of ether per btc is dropped.

Everyone needs to get bearish so we can liftoff again.

So you think we need to shake out some longs first, or do you think we simply need to get the movement going again? I try to understand why people feel the need for another crash before a new rallye can emerge!

need real despair. i mean REAL. almost to the point where you will think the game is over and that bitcoin failed. Wink

Wow, yeah.. That would surely spark a decision I guess.. But I don't know if I could handle that, I'd be freaking out completely. But I want to stay in Bitcoin, I don't want to play it safe or try to daytrade the market (because I'd fail Wink) What can I do to ease my mind a bit? Cheesy

Despair only helps existing bears, useless.
We need new people to get in, that's all.

Anyone noticed that the value of Bitcoin has risen quite a lot the last half year, regardless the price of bitcoin?

Whoa what do you mean by that? The price is the measure of how valuable a Bitcoin is, isn't it? I don't seem to be getting what you're trying to say here. Please enlighten us, man Cheesy

The utility of bitcoin is the sum of the benefits derived from its applications by its users.

The value of bitcoin is the size of its transactional economy over a given period.

The price of bitcoin is wherever the market happens to clear.

Only in the case of perfectly rational actors under perfectly efficient condtions will these three coincide.

I don't agree, this is just delusional stuff you are talking, a value of a bitcoin is exactly what it can be exchanged for (in terms of goods and services) compared to what can a dollar (or gold, Euro, Yen...) be exchanged for.

Edit: with this logic: gold has no value and a visa card have more value than a Bitcoin.... see this is just horseshit.

Gold didn't have value until enough people started to 'like' it. Same holds true for bitcoin.

Not a bad article, http://cointelegraph.com/news/112259/op-ed-is-bitcoin-ready-for-the-major-leagues

Interesting part:

A Death by Trading

One of the primary causes for price instability in commodities is the amount of trading and speculation that goes on. Particular groups try to corner certain markets by buying a great deal of the commodity, thereby driving up the price that consumers pay at the market. There is no real reason why Bitcoin cannot fall into the same trap as we get closer to the last mined coin. The above examples of people trying to corner the market are extreme examples. But even regular trading has a sometimes horrid effect on commodities as is evidenced by speculation in the energy industry.

The only way to prevent this from happening is to keep Bitcoin as decentralized as possible and as much of the currency as possible out of the exchanges and in the economy. Money on the trading floor enriches only the traders and owners of the commodity, not the end-consumers or people who buy the final product. Meanwhile, money that continually flows through the economy keeps it healthy and liquid.


Not like day/week traders care, but they are partly responsible for killing or slowing down BTC's success.
To everyone else, spend your coins when you have the option.
If you don't want to lose your amount of BTC, buy back the same amount which you'd otherwise spend in fiat.
Do this until it's not necessary anymore because you get your 'paycheck' in BTC.

As for speculating, the price will rise. You are delusional if you don't see the rapid increase in adoption from serious companies.

Huge manipulation going on. Bitcoin just touched down 309 on BTC-e

Selling =/= manipulation.

Well a normal seller wouldn't dump thousands of coins at market price, as they'd lose a shit load of money due to slippage. So in this case I'd say it was most likely manipulation.

Exactly.

what is happening @BTC-e shows us how fucked up these business owners they can get sometimes, in a normal fair world, the Admins notice the unusual activity from this bot and they coordinately ac, one way is by blocking the API access temporarily to prevent the bot from losing all the owner's money, I am sure the owner would be really thankful and the positive impression would be felt and reflected on all customers, but because this is Bitcoin and BTC-e we are talking about, they don't give a fuck and they are sitting happily watching the poor guy losing all this kind of money.

if someone failed with his own trading bot why should the exchange bother to bail him out?

Bot-users losing money is great! Feeling sorry for them? Hah!

Let us take it for granted that there is a concerted manipulation effort to drive the price lower.

What knowledge do you draw from this fact? How does it help your trading?

If the manipulator is able to achieve his desires with a minimum of resources, and there is no opposition to him, be it from opposed manipulation or natural buying, then what does it tell you about the state of this market?

r/buttcoin, hard to believe it's just a few random people with no life, hating bitcoin and starting this separate channel.
People putting such negative effort into something like that seems very fishy to me.

Weak minds are incapable of vision, conviction.  Weak minds connect to weak hands.  Thus does wealth gravitate to those who are able to form sound conclusions and retain them in the face of an onslaught of deceit.  With strong hands we scale the mountains of adversity.

now that my bull glasses are off this sounds so ridiculous

I hope you traded those glasses for tissues to wipe your tears when this train leaves you behind.

you mean the train to nowhere?

You do realize that in-between 'bubbles' there are always people talking like it's the end of bitcoin.
Thing is, the last year has been exceptionally well for bitcoin with adoption and growth of the network. You do the math on what the price eventually does.

Agree, mostly think because they don't want to think it will ever happen.
Because they invested so much or living easily because of Bitcoin.

For one calling malleability a huge fragility is bs.

Wrong.

Traders help price discovery.


Traders only help themselves, instead of the invested good or company. Price discovery can be done without daytrading.

seems like they are shaking out last weak hands now. everything points to an uptrend. what bothers me is weak ask walls, which might cause so called "to the moon", so Im not placing any ask orders and will ride the waves Smiley
but then again what do I know, I have been losing money since I started trading Cheesy

The shaking weak hands myth. I wish we would stop using it.

a very very slow movement, but what creates movement in bitcoin Huh i still dont get it.

Nothing creates movement in bitcoin. The bitcoin simply is, and we are the ones that move.

I figure all the excitement will most likely happen in a week a half.  The reason?  I will be in India for two weeks on a mission trip with very little access to computers and no time to really go online at all.  It will be an epic rally for sure!  Cheesy  
Good luck converting those evil Hindus to Christianity.

You might be happy to know I am not going to "convert" anyone.  Mostly doing humanitarian work, putting in water wells in villages, hosting a medical camp with food and clothing for a village of people suffering from leprosy, visiting an orphanage and bringing clothing, food to a home for the elderly there.  We are also hosting the first ever conference for Dalit women.  These women will all be Christian already, so no "conversions."  But my goal is to encourage them and tell them that they have value in the midst of a culture that does not always value women and especially the lowest women in the caste system.

Funny that Christians get condemned for being the ones paying their own way to go on trips like these.  The world desperately needs compassion but compassion begins with the love God puts in our hearts for others I believe.



The population of India is around 2% Christian. Is the prerequisite of you helping someone in India that they are Christian? Seems weird that statistically the chance of you helping people who are all Christians in India is infinitesimally small. Religious discrimination?

Chance of helping 1 person in India and they are Christian. 1/50
Chance of helping 2 people in India and they are both Christian. 1/2500
Chance of helping 3 people in India and they are all Christian. 1/125000
Chance of helping 4 people in India and they are all Christian. 1/6250000
Chance of helping 5 people in India and they are all Christian. 1/312500000

I am going to be partnering with a Christian organization that is already established there.  They have started colleges to provide education and work opportunities for women that were sold into sex slavery.  Also, there are the wives of the village church pastors that will be attending this conference along with the women in the college.  It is very exiting for these women from the villages because many of them have never been to anything like this.  A retreat where all expenses are paid for them is a luxury beyond anything they have ever experienced. Why does it bother you so much that I am going to do this anyways?

Great job, this planet could use more people like you.

Why will it eventually go up?
Why do so many here act like that is a fact, like it's guaranteed.

Bitcoin is not some company that'll go bankrupt and disappear.
It's a resilient technology that won't go away for many generations to come.
This 'going down' is a correction of the last bubble which had too many weird anomalies like the willy-bot and mt.gox collapse.
There is simply too much going for this tech to just vanish and bitcoin going to zero.

Are there still people here who think this is normal behaviour and this is what the price should look like?
No, everybody knows that normal market behaviour is when everybody buys ad infinitum so price goes up 20% every single day and not a single person market dumps.

The price has been recently taking massive swings. It has gone from 320 to over 400, and back down, 2 times. I am not sure what to understand from it.

It has one reason. Something which is new to Bitcoin since this year: Dumpers who do everything in their power to take the price down. Every single time.
We're gonna have a real hard time going up again.
I just don't understand what caused this behaviour. They just refuse to let the price go up. 

It's absolutely crazy.

Only thing I can think of is, lower prices with same price-swings means more % increase.
When the price is 2000, a $100 dollar price swing means a lot less than it does now.

It's hilarious how most traders in this thread justify all this behavior.
Claiming how all this dumping is natural and necessary, they should try a politicians job, they'd be good at it..

XCP / Counterparty if you really need to take on more risk.

No miners, no bagholders waiting to unload. 2.6 million were created by burning BTC. It's technically not even an altcoin.

Burning BTC?! i call it crypto-satanism.

Didn't peg you as the religious type. It's pretty clever actually, and it makes BTC worth a little more.

well tbh if people were indeed crazy enough to burn 2,6m BTCs (whatever it means), it will eventually make mine worth more. Wink

I guess burning 2124 BTC does show commitment.  Personally I would have rather had the cash Smiley

However it's effectively a decentralized ripple from what i read and will hopefully cripple ripple.   I would rather trust counter-party who committed there own funds, to a scam coin where they effectively premined and kept 45%.

Ripple is a scam.

He said 2.6m XCP were created. X amount of BTC were 'burned'. Not sure how you can 'burn' BTC though..

A mining algorithm that awards coins irrespective of market conditions is scammish as hell.

From http://www.investopedia.com/articles/analyst/030102.asp

S&D players clutter message boards, so optimistic information cannot easily be found. "Get out before it all comes crashing down" and "Investors who wish to enter a class action lawsuit can contact…" are typical posts, as are their projections of $0 stock prices and 100% losses. If their strategy is suspected by "longs", they attack the person who has caught them. In other words, the market manipulator will do everything in his or her power to keep buyers out of the stock and keep the price heading south.

Sounds familiar?

Whatever helps you deal with your slick Bitcoin "investment," brah Cheesy

I know what you're saying. People need to really think outside of the box. Don't listen to the media. What does your gut tell you about Bitcoin?..I have become successful in many areas of my life through spiritual guidance and mediation. It's not a bloodbath. The price is being pushed down on purpose by a someone or a group of people. They are making It more affordable for everyday people to hop on board. With the Russian ruble collapse and the world on the brink of another war. There is no better time for Bitcoin. Bitcoin is here for a reason. There are much larger forces at work here. We are all apart of the forum because we were guided here by our destiny. For some reason we are more aware of things than everyday people. So in turn I believe we will be very wealthy in the coming years. There are only a handfull of people who will get rich off of Bitcoin. But that wealth will help re stimulate growth into a stale united states economy and help propell us into a new Era much like the Internet did. Most people won't buy into bitcoin until it's too late to get rich. Because they are still stuck in the Matrix to some extent. Stay calm my friends and meditate.

Holy shit.

Yes.

January was the time to buy, sorry you missed it. $1500 could have got you nearly ten bitcoin! Even in March you would have gotten 6 or 7...

 If you had "invested" and bought and held.at that time, you would still have those 6-7 bitcoins. If instead you've been gambling, and you now have only $1000 which can only buy 4 bitcoin today, well... take it as a lesson learned and try to make better decisions in the future.

Use a cold wallet and forget your BTC, in a few years you will read that 1btc=20k$ and you could sell it

Or your coins might end up in the wrong chain of a Bitcoin's hard fork and worth next to 0 in the future.

Put in cold storage is OK, but forget and take for granted they'll be worth a fortune in the future in my opinion is a mistake

Correct me if I'm wrong. But in case of a hard fork, you're coins exist on BOTH chains.

Probably not, VPNs and the like.

More realistically a re-institution of newbie jail would at least slow these cretins down.

How many separate IPs can you easily hide behind? Tor exit nodes seem to be pretty well known to the forum filter, and there are only so many free VPNs. So it seems likely this troll is willing to put quite a bit of effort into the spam, perhaps paying the evil fees for using known dirty IPs? Which would mean paying BTC to spam here...

Could you clarify? Are you saying the forum already employs IP filtering for known banned users/connections?



IP bans mean nothing to us, naive earthling!

How stupid is this idea?!? Do you think someone who has EUR 60 daily limit on the ATM will waste their precious EUR on Bitcoin? They have many other more necessary things to buy with that money.  

ATM's are running low on fiat. Buy 1000 euro worth of bitcoins online, go exchange bitcoins for fiat at bitcoin atm. Doesn't seem that stupid "?!?"

You are telling me that the whole Greek banking infrastructure can't fill ATMs for more then 60 EUR/person a day, but some new private entity will succeed filling Bitcoin ATMs with more cash? that makes sense to you?

The reason they are limiting withdrawals is because the European Central Bank stopped the flow of fiat to Greece. The banks have limited funds so they do not want a bank run to the point that they all go broke.

And how will that new entity supply the Bitcoin ATMs on Greek islands with fresh cash if European Central Bank stopped the flow of fiat to Greece? They will helicopter the cash from neighboring countries by night?

That's why I was talking about a big entity, probably outside Greece, able to fill those bitcoin atms when emptied. When many people see they can get money out of bitcoin atm's instead of banks, it's great marketing for bitcoin. And maybe, just maybe when even those atm's are empty, people realize they can still exchange bitcoin with eachother, *boom*.

Oh and the EU has open borders, so a drive should be sufficient. Getting to islands maybe with a helicopter/boat yes.

bitcoin would be just like the euro.. it would not work. only a metals backed currency will work as a replacement for the broken dollar 'interest to infinity' debt slavery system.

here is a scenario that bitcoiners could possibly face.. as the dollar is about to be replace during the "big block of cheese day" when all the cheese is turned into cheesecakes the cheesecakes will be worth less in the new currency. it will be the same for bitcoin because bitcoins will be priced in dollars but dollars will be worth less in the new currency. therefore bitcoins will receive the same haircut as those people who have their cheese turned into cheesecakes.

i still own a lot of bitcoins and i do not believe it will just die... but i no longer believe bitcoins is going to suddenly become some worldwide reserve currency and we are all suddenly going to be buying boats.. the state of Texas is building a gold depository, and not a bitcoin depository... they are demanding their gold from the fed. we will be able to trade metals for bitcoin and vice versa i am sure, but it will be metals that have the huge value more than bitcoin.

Things will not go suddenly.
We are already having an 8 year journey (publicizing of the whitepaper)

like i said, we will be able to trade our metals for cryptos... and i believe we will trade our metals for A LOT of cryptos ... we can trade our metals for the new metals backed currency at a depository and buy cryptos from an exchange just like we do today. by using a metals backed currency we are not limited by an unconstitutional cashless society.

But what benefit would (monetary) metal have compared to crypto? I only see downsides and own both.








metals will ALWAYS FOREVER be worth something.. while paper (bonds, stocks, etc) and computer digits can go to zero....

"Paper gold" market is rigged. There is far more gold on paper than there are real gold bars/coins etc.
Gold coins being traded 'on the street' will get inpurities/weighed down with time, we've tried that before.

yes.. for now. because the central banks are buying and hoarding metals atm.. the point here is you guys think bitcoin is going to be the replacement currency for the failing usd and suddenly we will all be buying boats... in my scenario: when the usd finally fails there will be a bank holiday and capital controls, a new currency will be rolled out that will be metals backed. the old fiat usd will be exchanged for the new currency and our bitcoins will be revalued in the new metals backed currency. .. we wont be buying boats by holding bitcoins .. instead we will take another huge loss like many of us have during the big pump and dump .

we wont be trading 'gold coins' on the street. we will trade our metals into a depository for the new metals backed currency. and we will trade our bitcoins for a lot less of the new currency than what they are worth in fiat dollars today. we're going to take a haircut just like holders of fiat usd. you are betting that bitcoins will replace the fiat "in god we trust" for the fed to print and manipulate dollar and it's not going to .

The metal-backed currency requires trust. Something banks/politicians have squandered the last millennia.
If people learn about an asset that doesn't require trust, and is available worldwide (bitcoin) they will flock to it.

The metal-backed currency requires trust. Something banks/politicians have squandered the last millennia.
If people learn about an asset that doesn't require trust, and is available worldwide (bitcoin) they will flock to it.

metals have a intrinsic value while bitcoins does not. i no longer trust bitcoin because it is, in my opinion, manipulated by whales and exchanges.your in the club or your not... their are predators out hunting for some poor newb who invests a bunch money into the scheme while they pump it and then they turn around and dump on them causing them to fear and dump their coins at a loss for their gain.. you trying to claim that is a system we can trust ?? this is my new opinion about bitcoin.

the haircuts come from bank accounts, and then from the reset of the value of things into the new metals backed currency. if you own metals then you will trade the metals for the full value of the metal for the new metals backed currency. in my opinion the govy would prefer their citizens to buy metals. the reason they would want citizens to buy metals is because it keeps those metals in the country, and those metals will eventually be returned to the govy when the citizens trade them into the depository in exchange for the metals backed currency... all the citizens who are stacking act as a giant savings account of metals for the govy .. the govy doesnt want or need bitcoins, they want and need metals.



What the government wants is not something you should want, looking at their history.
If it were up to them, everyone would be taxed 100% and you'd get some fast devaluing currency in return just enough to make a living. Even foodstamps would be too much of value, since in 20 years they would still hold their value, not something 'they' want.

About the whales playing the market, sure, right now they can play around like it's nothing. The marketcap is laughable and I'm guessing less than 250k people are actually into bitcoin. But when bitcoin reaches enough people that it becomes mainstream, any 'dump' those whales try, will be swallowed up by the majority and they'll have to buy in higher resulting in less bitcoin. This will go on and on and result in a more even distribution of coins. Maybe there are smart whales (most of them lucky to be in the right place at the right time), but eventually they'll die of age or sickness. So future generations won't have to deal so much with this manipulation.

I'll say it again, the main issue here is trust. And bitcoin solves that issue quite nicely.

The best thing 'amateur' traders can do is buy in at these low prices & HODL until the halving. Stop trying to play & guess the market, you will lose that game 9 times out of 10.

Do the sensible thing, buy in & HODL until the halving. I guarantee the price will be double what it is today at least. Why try & catch 20 USD pump & dumps now? If you're not a whale & able to manipulate the market you will lose unless you get lucky.

Solid advice, at least for me.

Exactly, thanks for the cheap coins last night. *burp*

Me as well, I like the fact that it was a quicke.

Gives inordinate power to miners.

If bitcoin becomes one of the biggest financial instruments, and there is a fork, favouring miners mostly, my guess is that everyone (techsavvy enough) will fire up their computer to mine. Suddenly those mining pools will look very small compared to billion+ computers running against them.

Also, miners would shoot themselves in their foot if they'd support a fork which only benefits miners instead of the users.

Bitfinex changed banks to CTBC BANK Co.  Notifications sent out via email this morning.

Heard withdrawals are being manually approved after the data corruption issue stated on Twitter.  The oldest of my 4 withdrawals is going on 24 hours.  As a result of this holdup, I'm not trading until this is fixed.

Is abercrombies cryptos dead?



Sorry in advance. I know I'm an asshole. I just couldn't help it.

Haha...  

Ok Bitfinex apparently was migrating to a new multisig wallet.  When the Withdrawals started working again they did a double send, one from the old and one from the new.  So I received duplicate Bitcoin transactions and double the Bitcoin at my destination address.  Confirmed with another Bitfinex user.  

A few hours later, once they figured it their blunder they deducted the respective amount from the current USD deposits.

Shakes my confidence in Bitfinex.  Is crypto... (you know the rest)

So you have double the coins and complain they corrected it in the best way possible. Greedy much...?

Average user cpu mining might get around 20 mh/s if they're lucky (see: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Non-specialized_hardware_comparison#CPUs.2FAPUs)

The current network hashrate is estimated at nearly 400,000 TH/s - meaning, you need about 20 billion average users to mine bitcoin with their computers...

Somehow, I don't think that everyone (techsavvy enough) will have even the slightest effect.

Well, that's concerning to say the least.

Let miners leave. Let difficulty fall. Others will step up and fill that gap.

End game will probably have laws against hijacking/abusing mining power.

I think you might underestimate the amount of sha-256 horse-power that might be leveraged against the network once mining becomes unprofitable.

If mining is no longer profitable, mining hardware will be sold at clearance prices.

 It all contributes to diminishing the security of the immutable ledger.

Could you eleborate on that scenario?

At a certain point in time, a group of mining pools decides they earn too little for letting their computers run.
So what option do they have?

1. Shutdown and leave. Like others did when the price fell below 300.

2. They introduce a new 'fork' which gives them more money and turn their hashing powers towards that fork.

When this fork happens my guess is that it will be so obvious to the whole world that it's just to enrich the miners, it won't happen.
How? Maybe by that time everyone has a small '21' asics in their home powered up. Governments who don't want to lose money will create laws against hijacking earth's currency. I'm just thinking out loud, but I'm confident a solution will arise.


// about the laws thing; ideally bitcoin becomes resilient that it's not necessary.
Sadly I share this world with people who like to abuse everything and anything. So yeah, we probably need laws against those people.

They can include or exclude any transactions as they see fit.


Then this is the culprit that needs to be fixed in a future update.
Miners should have no say whatsoever in which transactions to in or exclude.

It should be 'white noise' to them so they don't know what transactions they are putting in their blocks.

Laws can be enforced if there is enough will to do so. (not always....but in this case the bigger mining plants have physical address and people, so it would be fairly easy to shutdown)

If miners start messing with a worldwide financial ledger, it's like poisoning the water purification plants. It'll have negative consequences for them. But like I mention before, I rather see bitcoin become resilient enough so this won't be necessary.

There probably won't be a hard fork to classic.
By April, core will have implemented 2MB+ blocks, by then the incentive to switch to classic will be low.

This whole development is worrisome though.
Core: RBF push, censoring on /r/bitcoin
Classic: no hardcore coders, what will really happen if they take over?....

For higher resilience, it would need several clients. One group of coders would be too easy to compromise.
