how long would it take to transfer $4m USD into bitstamp to buy the wall in one fell swoop? Are we talking days or hours?

FinCEN Fines Oppenheimer & Co. Inc. $20 Million for Continued Anti-Money Laundering Shortfalls
Suspicious Penny Stock trading and Pump-and-Dump Schemes Not Flagged
and Foreign Correspondent Customer Allowed to Conduct Prohibited Activity
....
From 2008 through May 2014, Oppenheimer conducted business without establishing and
implementing adequate policies, procedures, and internal controls reasonably designed to detect
and report suspicious activity. FinCEN identified 16 customers who engaged in patterns of
suspicious trading through branch offices in five states. All the suspicious activity involved
penny stocks, which typically are low-priced, thinly traded, and highly speculative securities that
can be vulnerable to manipulation by stock promoters and “pump-and-dump” schemes.
Oppenheimer failed to report patterns of activity in which customers deposited large blocks of
unregistered or illiquid penny stocks, moved large volumes of penny stocks among accounts with
no apparent purpose, or immediately liquidated those securities and wired the proceeds out of the
account.
...
Do you think bitcoin exchanges are properly monitoring and reporting such activities?
^ This will be the end of
bitcoin altcoins.

the sideways then dump movement over the past few days has been a profitable pattern for shorts. It will continue to work for them, until it no longer works. I think we will know it's over when price is able to recover to levels higher than just before the previous dump. Complacent shorts will get caught when that happens and we could see an up cycle pattern begin anew.

Seems like traders waiting for some upside or downside resolution before jumping back in. Me thinks the market is going to roll over and push down today. We'll see.
On the positive side, there is one less unknown out there with bit license revision being published. I don't think there will be many more revisions by the end of the 30 day comment period. So, market participants know what to expect now and don't have to price in the uncertainty.
Watching that lower trendline, not sure how much longer it can hold. Below that, support at 210/200/190. Lots of folks thinking we go down, will the market frustrate everyone and just go sideways?

bullshit. If we're going to $255 then we're going to $350, but I think we might be going down first. Time will tell.
Hmmm maybe I was asking for the wrong thing. So:
Short squeeze to 240, consolidate (flag), squeeze again to 255, consolidate. After that more upside would be great. Thanks

Support has become resistance, but the move up to the recent trendline has been on very low volume. Me thinks the bull's affliction of hopium could quickly change to a bad case of nopium and we could head back down again later today. A convincing high volume move up through the trendline would make me change my mind...

‘Out-dated’ Wall Street technology gets a bitcoin-inspired fuel-injection
http://www.bizjournals.com/newyork/news/2015/02/25/out-dated-wall-street-technology-gets-a-bitcoin.html New York City-based Coinsetter, has unveiled Project Highline, a bitcoin-inspired technology that could change the way investors trade.
"What Project Highline is basically doing is ripping out the current settlement rails that are used in prime brokerage and trade settlements, and instead we're replacing it with a more peer-to-peer type system based on the blockchain"

If you could tolerate the third party risk, why not just take your cold storage coins and double down by putting them into 1 or 2 YR futures and go long? If youbelieve long term priceis headed up, you could increase your profit w/oputting additionalcapital at risk. Also a futures market would be a much more accurate gauge on upcoming price movements than the nearly universally terrible technical analysis from Coindesk, cryptocoin news etc.

It appears to be an obvious bullish pennant on the 1 HR chart. Can any TA gurus confirm?
Not an expert by any means but I would say it appears to be. It is clearer on the 4h chart. Volume declining towards the apex. This feels like healthy consolidation after the big move up yesterday. RSI has worked off some of the overbought conditions, so that's good.
Finex swaps are still high on both sides, short swaps have declined a bit but USD swaps continue to increase. I take the USD swap count with a grain of salt because they are still below levels seen during most of 2014. And there is still lots of shorts on the books and surely lots of cash on the sidelines.
Not sure if we will get a move out of the flag based on technicals alone, but even some small piece of good news could help nudge a break to the upside. It being weekend and all, who knows. If the flag dissolves into sideways action, the bears may feel emboldened, flash a few sell walls, and try to take us lower with the help of nervous longs. We may see some turbulence up and down as nervous traders set their tight stops and get them hit as bulls and bears battle it out.
I'm kind of hoping we don't see any big action soon because it would be great to have a good night sleep tonight

Maybe they're referring to NYSE investing in Coinbase.
I was also thinking about NYSE's investment in Coinbase when I read the article. But NASDAQ published this yesterday. They are obviously not hinting about something that happened weeks ago. It's just a gut feeling from my part. Read the article and judge for yourself
Good find Norway.
I normally cringe at such rampant speculation but this thread has seen far worse so now I will provide my own wild theories to the mix
I think this gives some weight to that mention from the bitcoinmagazine newsletter (posted here and in /r/bitcoin) wherein they suggest that somebody has provided the largest funding ever to an unknown bitcoin startup. Apparently some stealth bitcoin startup is getting more funding than coinbase!
What if somebody like JP Morgan is funding the largest ever bitcoin private sector bitcoin project. JPM is apparently hiring bitcoin talent, maybe they need somebody to help them manage their huge new investment.
And what if this startup is working on something huge, like a bitcoin based replacement for the SWIFT interbank transfers system.
And what if the folks behind the massive runup in USD swaps on finex are perhaps "in the know" on this matter.
What if.

hello people. If you are skeptical of another move higher, I understand. But now we have unexpected good news to build on the technical breakout of a few days ago. The 4h charts beginning to look like the move down out of the bull flag was a head fake. We still need to see a move higher, with good volume, but right now bears are nervous. We have already retraced the sudden move lower from earlier today.

Wondering why this news is so big? The BIT website does a good job of ELI5 this news for you
http://www.bitcointrust.co/The Bitcoin Investment Trust (BIT) is a private, open-ended trust that is invested exclusively in bitcoin and derives its value solely from the price of bitcoin. It enables investors to gain exposure to the price movement of bitcoin without the challenges of buying, storing, and safekeeping bitcoins.
the BIT is able to offer a weighted price that reflects a more accurate market view. Investors can buy shares in the BIT at a set price and without having to transact in a fragmented and highly illiquid market with unregulated and newly established entities.
Investors are able to invest in bitcoin via a security, making it eligible for investment for institutions, certain IRAs and other types of brokerage accounts.
And now they are no longer private. ANYONE can buy in now via their OTC fund. Link to WSJ story:
http://www.wsj.com/articles/bitcoin-investment-trust-gets-finras-ok-to-become-public-bitcoin-fund-1425242094p.s. Oh yeah, guess what, you can bet that Barry Silbert's Bitcoin Investment Trust will be big bidder's at this week's BTC auction. ha!

I told myself I would stop believing in the power of shorts covering to fuel more upside when the BTC swaps at finex hit 16K. No reason for that number except that they have bottomed out around that level so far in 2015. Doesn't mean much, of course more short may want to cover.
Going to wait and see how it shakes out before getting long again on a dip. May have left a couple dollars on the table, but what the hell, you're supposed to sell strength right?

Grrr woke up to find out my long stop triggered while I was sleeping. I'm going to keep my powder in the barrel today expecting some volitility what with the auction bids today and then rollover of okcoin weekly futures tomorrow morning. They both may be non-events but who can be sure. Don't want to give back the recent gains.
If we drop more I will pick some up above 265 for a trade, this is the 50% retracement level for the recent rally. If we rally from here I guess I'll have to catch the next train. Somehow I have a feeling that rallies will be sold today and that by tomorrow there will be a better entry point for a nice long trade into the weekend.

Thats a great read.
Before buying my first bitcoin in December of last year I spent probably about three months looking at types of wallets and ways to keep your stash secure. In the end I have opted for the brain/paper wallet methods for my main holding and use online exchanges such as blockchain/coinbase for very small amounts for trading/gambling/purchasing.
I think really security is the BIGGEST problem for most people (even someone like me who is NOT a programmer/hacker but IS very competent on computers) had to really rack my brain with all this security stuff.
Again great read... I am not sure what I would do if I somehow ended up with crazy amounts of bitcoins. I think I would be very paranoid
With crazy amount of bitcoins you would be able to afford Trezor and computer, dedicated to bitcoins only.
I believe much of his problems would have been prevented if he did not use the Authy backup function. That way 2fa keys stay on the phone only and cannot be synced to other devices, i.e. the thief's phone.

http://blogs.wsj.com/digits/2015/03/10/secretive-bitcoin-startup-21-reveals-record-funds-hints-at-mass-consumer-play/Qualcomm’s involvement could spur speculation that 21 has its sights on the so-called “Internet of Things.”

21 is old news. they are already on the network, mining.
not mining.
Members of the bitcoin community speculated about a secret vehicle for Silicon Valley elites to develop high-powered equipment that could dominate bitcoin mining. Mr. Pauker’s comments about a consumer focus suggest that isn’t where the company has ended up.
The initial secrecy around 21 was “solely for pragmatic reasons – we didn’t have anything to say to the world,” – says co-founder Balaji Srinivasan, who is also a partner at Andreessen Horowitz. He compares 21’s work in building bitcoin products for the general public to the sequential development of 56-kilobit Internet modems, international fiber cables and wireless Internet towers, which all helped bring the Internet into people’s homes in the late 1990s.

that's horrible news...
one question would be, do people then get to mine dollars at home??
the other question would be, who the fuck is going to power the network?
it is the sort of thing that would take the easy to understand bits of bitcoin to the average user though, make their life easier, without shifting their paradigm in a way that disturbs the "natural order" of things. That way they can keep deferring responsibility to the benevolent rulers who watch out for them...
why, the central banks can pay IBM to run the network of course!
If central banks approve the concept, IBM will build the secure and scalable infrastructure for the project.

Exactly. They just want to use this opportunity to create panic. The reported site got 45k BTC in their entire operation life. What they got stolen is a fraction of it (less than 1k BTC).
Too bad for some who doesn't read and just follows the flow.
On reddit I read that withdrawals may have been stopped a week ago. In that time ~1600BTC were withdrawn from their supposed cold wallet address. Plus there is 980BTC remaining, so perhaps the real number is more like 2600BTC stolen? Point is, nobody knows but it seems very likely that it is not in the magnitude of 43K BTC!
