yes it is, but it can get stale at times
bubble times was awesome until the mid april crash. Now I'm just watching myself very slowly lose money. But don't wanna sell em cos I still love them....an obsessive trap. Is there some sort of therapy thread on here?

can someone explain why they should be a money transmitter? Because they have created an org that is a central point of contact for money transmission businesses. Remember that whole "centralization is evil" thing? Well they did it anyway.

But there is any specific reasons of why they are "transmitting money" in the document? Can't read it all now.
No, there is no specific allegation in the document, just a general admonishment against violating the statute. California clearly has their wires crossed because, even under the most expansive interpretation of the law, the foundation is not a money transmitter.
They cannot be a money transmitter simply for advocating for Bitcoin as there are first amendment issues preventing regulation of that type of speech.
The point here is: They are a conglomerate of mtgox, bitpay and others which do fit the term money transmitter.
What if the state already knows they aren't a money transmitter but are looking to engage the membership all at once. Some of them are money transmitters. Remember, California is broke. Fines represent real income for the state. On a side note, they just raised the parking meter violation fine next to my house in SF. It's $90 now! This place is fucked!

It's interesting how after buying everything up to $110 and selling everything down to $101 that the bids and asks filled the middle in again so quickly at a variety of prices, creating a market depth profile that looked like nothing had just happened.
I was thinking that same thing. Who's providing the stability?

Like many others, I'm placing bids and asks to try and take advantage of the situation to make a few bucks. The depth is probably a result of everyone doing the same thing.
How? With this lag?
There isnt any lag? And its mostly irrelevant at a time like this. Place a bid somewhere pretty low, depending on how risky you are, behind 500-5k of bids... then place asks 500-5k behind the other asks.
If you did this throughout this situation, you'd have made a killing. All it relies on is that the market acts extraordinarily stupid, so this wont usually work, and you wont be able to tell it would have until after the fact.
Your risk return spectrum is a little wide for me.

Ah well i'm looking at a chart. Not on Gox itself and it shows prices all over the place and quite some lag.
What do you mean by lag?

What do you mean? You would go with less bids and asks in front of you? I mean, that usually makes sense.. but the volume was so absurdly high, even 5k on both sides would have gotten you some returns. 1-2k seems like a "safe" point to me, you are not subject to a random 500 sell amongst 50000 of buys, or the opposite... without being so far behind that you miss the majority of the action.
If you only knew for sure. That can easily backfire too. Hindsight is 20-20

Never though I would say this, but I really wish somebody could create Pegcoin, all the advantages of instant, decentralized transfer of bitcoin, but pegged to fiat currency value. Obviously I prefer something with a limited supply like bitcoin, but for now it would certainly make arbitraging a lot easier... Probably not a viable idea to implement though (not to mention the legal issues).
I'll trade Pegcoin in an instant. Set it up!

There's no way to peg a virtual currency to a fiat currency without a central "bank". It defeats the whole purpose of a cryptocurrency, and it would require a central authority with a lot of money to keep the price pegged.
Makes no sense / not reasonably possible.
Shut up! No one wants logic and reason here. This place is for speculation. lol

there is also a strong divergence in the chaikin money flow
That is much more pronounced than on the chart I posted. Either way, we should have a move to the downside. In my chart it would be a correction but the break below 100 could start a stampede.
Yes we need need really strong support at 85 -100, so we do not end up under my 50 ...
We are going to end up under 50.

The only reason someone is buying on ox now is to cash out on a exchange with USD withdrawals. That's why there's a continued spread against the non-gox exchanges.
Prices will continue to slowly decrease. Note that it won't be a sudden crash because now that so many cash outflow conduits are cut, it's much more difficult to withdraw the cash. On CampBX for example, dumpin 500 coins will slip the price almost $20. ...so people will be unloading slowly.
There's no upside here. Adoption of BTC is well below the hype, and the public mindset, post-crash, that it's more like a pyramid scheme than a currency.
The underlying demand for btc purchases can be sustained by a price of under $10 (especially now with all the capital controls). ...but think about that for a moment. A loss of over 90% of the current price over the next few months will have a deleterious impact on the cash flows with various exchanges, which could cause some significant turbulence even at the bottom. Some exchanges / services allow for margin / leverage. Those exchanges may not be able to tolerate wild price swings and may end up insolvent overnight.
...so all in all, it's going to be a turbulent time. Make sure to only play with money you don't mind losing.
Bingo

So what's the general consensus here guys? There has never been a consensus on this forum since day one.
Will gox resume USD withdrawals in a week, or will the "extend the deadline"? Ask magicaltux on IRC
Will gox ever resume them, or is there excuse BS, and they are being regulated out of existance? I think they are fucked and losing more bank accounts than we all know but again ask magicaltux on IRC
If they resume, what will happen to the price? Continue downward gradually until $80 then stabilize
If they don't, what will happen? You place too much value on MtFux

I think it may have been a little to bold of a move.
That's right! Remember the Foundation decided to buy a bunch of advertising for Bitcoin in California and a week later they get a cease and desist letter. Prominent advertising is not necessarily the best move for someone with a freshly closed Citibank account. But then again isn't Mark Karpeles a key member of the Foundation? Maybe cease and desist letters through advertising and lost bank accounts are part of the grand master plan. lol
Can anyone tell me why there is such disparity between Gox and the other exchanges?

It feels heavily propped. Watching the buy bots fill in $1-3 worth of spread for weeks now. I think this a good working theory, byronbb.

Lol, yeah. I don't have btc to trade anymore, I'm all in altcoins but dropped a huge bollocks on ltc last night. Sold near the top just to panick and rebought few hours later. And of course, it's 7-8% down today and who knows where will stop, could probably easily pick up 10% more ltc if I stayed cool.
I hate these missed opportunities much more than buying at top and losing money.
Yeah, I got monster lucky with ltc. I started mining early on, first solo and then with litecoinpool. I had a shitload of ltc and got nervous and sold all just below 6. Only really good move I've made so far besides buying a bunch of btc at 2.50. The long stable flat at 120-130 made me sell a bunch of those though. I kept a couple hundred to play with but this isn't fun anymore.

You have a point here. Eyes often glued on clarkmoody, that strategy makes sense, previous support at 100 was removed just before passing it. Lets see how the walls at 95 act.
Those fake buy walls are actually a huge risk for the wall owner. He thinks he's just propping up the price for his smaller sells, but if another whale wants to cash out, he can easily sell into them and the wall owner will be stuck with 3K extra coins that he can't unload.
Yep, that happens all the time and might happen today.

And here we see the down side of having versatile language. If there was only one way of stating this fact, a computer would be able to filter it and I could mark it as "got it" and not have to read it about once per page in this and so many other threads in the speculation forum.

MtGox willfully coming under regulations is extremely bullish news. Anything that brings the Bitcoin economy under US regulations is extremely positive for Bitcoins future. If this trend continues, I will have to dump my bear claws for bull horns. Yes, I think it's that significant and of course the news is, soooo anti-Libertarian, I can't hardly control my laughter.
This news does not seem to have hit mainstream media in the US yet. Could be because it came out in a Friday news dump. I wouldn't expect some crazy panic buy but I would expect sentiment to begin to shift in a positive way toward Bitcoin. The more Bitcoin can shed it's "anti-regulation", "criminal sponsor" image, the better chance it has to be successful.
I have to agree with you this time. It's very good for the survivability of Bitcoin. This is also very anti-Libertarian news. Soon Gox will be offering a free McDonalds Happy Meal with every deposit in their national currency of $100 or more. The Libertarian nut jobs on this forum drove me so crazy at one point I said fuck this place, deleted every post (almost 3000) and had theymos delete my account (CornedBeefHash). I just started watching the forum to see when to sell my stash of Bitcoinz. It's really hard to just watch for news and not have the ability to tell some of the turds off. I had to be able to post and tell them how stupid they are so I decided to QuestionAuthority at every turn. The hardcore Porcfest Libertarians in TBF like Voorhees are going to end up Republicans if they keep making truckloads of money and going mainstream. It's a great treat to watch them slowly sell out their principals to be wealthy. I actually expect to see him on a platform next to a republican presidential candidate someday screaming "no new taxes". lol

I thought the whole idea of Libertarianism was less taxation (and hence government). Aren't they the opposite of socialists, closer idealogically to Republicans than Democrats in the American political scale?
Yes the Libertarian ideal is a lie. That's the joke. Libertarians are Republicans in disguise.

I agree in bold their very similar but there is a big difference though, the difference is Republicans use consensus and the tools of law and FED to maintain there wealth.
Libertarians are nothing more than poor republicans. All my protesting hippie college friends that graduated and made a fat stack of cash became republicans. Is republican some sort of code for sell-out? lol

I almost think Bitstamp gives a clearer picture, much less manipulated than Gox...
Just call it a "feeling" but I say we hit 80 ish on Bitstamp in the next few days, with a low point of maybe $75 (hard bounce). And it may be a very hard bounce, not a reversal, just a fake. I say that as there is so much downward pressure building that when it bottoms it is going to come up hard. I don't think I'll trade this, things might get violent, Kung Fu Violent!
No the only thing that will stop the pressure now is an event or announcement. A positive one of course. A negative one would just put the gas on.

It's interesting that the other exchanges are consistently trading lower than MtGox's low of 92. This has been going on for over a week now, so apparently there is still no efficient way to arbitrage it.
people are waiting to get their money out of gox so they can deposit it on the other exchanges.
That's not it. ASIC manufacturers are selling slowly and shoring up the price unnaturally to keep as much profit as possible. They trust Gox, have a rapport with them and wouldn't trust one of the smaller exchanges. There should be a massive drop happening right now but they aren't letting it happen. The other exchanges are showing a natural price based on trade. Gox is showing an artificial price.

yea that's why every time gox drops a $, the other exchanges do too. there's nothing natural about these markets, everybody is watching what's happening on gox since that's where the big players go.
Of course, they are all loosely connected but they aren't traveling together in an exact pattern.
Bitstamp, BTCe and CampBX are.

Hard to say. Price isn't really high enough to have a large profit margin however there is a definite downward slope on the price. Maybe down to mid-80s this week before bouncing.
That's what I'm looking at for price. I can't see a drop below $80 or so before a large spike. I'm waiting for $80 to buy back in.

Ever since mid May we have been seeing the huge weekly dumps ~> then Mt.Gox stops outgoing wires ~> then the huge dumps stop ~> Those coins move to other exchanges bringing the price down below Mt.Gox....
Which is where we are now.
This makes me a bit scared for when Mt.Gox starts transfers again. I wonder how many coins are waiting to be dumped once the wires come back. If I had a huge stash, and was dumping weekly, and Gox all of a sudden halted wires, I would move all my coins out of Gox, and into my wallet. If I needed some cash, or was trying to stick to a cash out plan, I would sell what I could on other exchanges without causing too much slippage. Any of those May/June size dumps on the other exchanges would just be stupid. So when Gox starts wires back up, who knows how much catching up we have to do after stalling all these dumps!
For this reason, I sold all but about 10% of my stash. Two months ago I bought a new Caddy, in full, and put a large down payment on a home, all with bitcoin speculative/minning money, so I'm not complaining much. I will definitely be sticking around for when we get a new reason for panic buying, which I don't see happening anytime soon. Yes, I know, with something as "new" as bitcoin, that new reason could happen tomorrow!
TLDR; Sold most of my coins, now waiting patiently on the sidelines. & MtGox opening wires back up should be a good show!
Congratulations! It's good to hear about someone buying something fun with their btc.
Bitcoin Charts price data going back a year will tell you that their has almost always been a disparity between the price at other exchanges and Gox with Gox always being higher. There was even a couple of people assisting with arbitrage using OKPay a while back but the transfer fees eat up a lot of the benefit. I can't remember the exact number but you need at least a 7% OR 9% difference in price for arbitrage to make sense. Gox only stopped cash withdrawals of USD. USD deposits and transfers to Mt. Gox continue so do deposits and withdrawals in other currencies. I don't think coins moving to other exchanges is causing the disparity in price unless that's been happening for more than a year. Your right, when Gox opens up USD withdrawals again its going to get interesting.

Yes there has always been a disparity, but < 2% is the norm. This is currently 7% with a high of nearly 20% in the last couple of days.
If coins arent moving to the other exchanges, then why did the gox price rise & stagnate (before falling) while the others fell?
There has been such a disparity historically that people are trying to get passive income from OkPay helping others with arbitrage.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=171349.0 It hasn't been just a couple of days.
I don't really have a good reason for the stagnation other than artificial shoring of the price. Now why or who might have done this - I don't know but some unusual stuff is happening at Gox. Hell, for all I know Gox is manipulating the market because they are a key member of The Bitcoin Foundation and they needed to stop U.S. trading because of the California complaint against TBF. They did just file for a FinCEN MSB license. Maybe that's got something to do with it. But that's just a wild assed guess.

To clarify your point: The price rose because some people had fiat waiting to be wired out, so they had to rebuy coins to move to other exchanges and sell there, right?
Well, that and I think many people panicked and took large losses. Now we do have a more steady buy at gox sell @ [the other three] maintaining the gap.

Yes, there has been, and it took an event that would cause selling on MtGox to temporarily become unfavorable. Not 20% though - we've never seen it that large before. The initial panic on this no withdrawal news brought bitstamp down to 90 while gox was still holding steady near 110.
Also, I think Gox is definitely up to something. The whale wars on the 24th simply make no sense. Something happened there that us outsiders dont know. Rich people dont just throw their money out like that.
Very strange indeed. Watching the next week unfold is going to be quite entertaining.

yes very low volumes, but I'm not surprised:
Why would buy now the one who waits cheap coin?
And why would sell to whoever could sell for 130-100?
I believe that when we see another direction, trading volume will be better.
Looking back at a year ago did you really care if you bought at $5, $6, or $7? A year ago the 100 day average was around $5.50.
Buying today with the 100 day average around $115 and worrying if I buy at $100 which is 15% below or $90 which is 22% below or $80 which is 30% below doesn't really matter much to me. All these prices are amazing deals.
I believe the fundamentals are great and that's why I'm buying.

I only meant it could happen if we break 90 (solidly). I would say in the next few days it is VERY possible. I'm leaning towards probably.
I won't take part in any bounces unless the signs say it isn't fake - and that is hard to know. The order book is very manipulated.

Well, I understand we all want to make our bitcoin positions better but it's still sad to see what we've became.. we supposedly want bitcoin to be mass adapted yet we are happy it's crashing and people losing belief in it..
Greed is some bad bastard, it could break our heads at some time
The problem is that since there is a fixed amount of BTC, it incentivizes people to hoard it. Which then causes them to panic dump it when the price falls. What we need is a cryptocurrency with enough inflation to deincentive saving (hording).
Go buy Freicoin then. I won't be joining you since I don't like to buy depriciating assets...
Well, that's the point. You're not supposed to want to buy a currency as an investment - that defeats the point of a currency. That's why BTC being "more like a commodity" is exactly why it has these giant swings. The point of a currency is to facilitate transactions, not to provide a return to speculators. No one should be hoarding them, they should be investing / spending them.
A truly functional cryptocurrency would have a definite rate of inflation to make sure people aren't just sitting on them.

I think you deserve an explanation of what happened yesterday:
WHO'S YOUR DADDY?
Thnaks for the call
Did you notice how shy the whale was when trying to bring the price down to the levels indicated by daddy Loozik?
I think the whale is a SHE. She was very ashamed when daddy spotted her try to touch Mrs Market's clitoris. A guy wouldn't have hesitated, would he?
_________________________________________________________________________
So my guess is the whale is a woman, a heterosexual, bi-curious woman, who just wanted to touch Mrs Market on the clit in a stealth mode, unnoticed. If the whale is a shy woman, than she is probably my 18 - 30 yo target (it is important for me that she is not older than daddy). Older women are not so shy.
Well, I MAY have found a new girl friend
_________________________________________________________________________
Just think how much fun Miss Whale can have with Daddy Loozik while trying to write new chapters of Kamasutra.
Just think how much Miss Whale can learn from Daddy Loozik about trading.
Just think how much less shy she will become with Mrs Market!

Translation: "I have run out of any legitimate arguments in the face of overwhelming evidence, and instead will resort to fox news style spin of those negatives."
I'm not sure what language you speak, but it can't be English if you believe those are accurate translations.
Again, what "overwhelming evidence"? The price has dropped a lot and so therefore must continue? Nice one, brainbox! I'm so overwhelmed I almost can't bring myself to fin
The "evidence" the bears have been pointing to unisono is the pattern one can see on the 3 month chart. 3 x lower highs and 2 x lower lows. The idea is that this pattern will continue and next we'll see a lower low (<$67). One can even find similarities within the patterns and the predictive method used is extrapolation of the pattern.
I'm not ruling out a lower low. One would probably put it at $50 and incidentally we would then have reached the post-bubble low for a second time putting in a double bottom with extremely high volume and huge probability of a bounce there.
There would then (during the bounce back up) be talk of both reversal and bull trap / dead cat bounces.
If we subsequently break $50 after that, there will be the long-awaited capitulation. Bulls will be broken and people who didn't sell substantially post-bubble would start considering it and some will. People will leave the forums pissed off at this scam that is bitcoin and media will start some negative talk. There would be long squeezes of leveraged bulls who fell for the trap and downward accelleration. Raw irrational panic. People who were waiting for cheap coins will still be waiting, infected by the fear and panic and shocked their bearish dreams came true. They would
not buy until things turn around substantially. Many coins would change hands at the real bottom, however, and this is when real money is made.
I hope the bears are happy about me describing this fantasy. Again: I don't rule it out, but neither should the bears rule out the possibility we won't put in a new low below $67 and just sneak slowly sideways/up helped by good fundamentals.
There's no "evidence staring us in the eye". Noone knows, everyone believes.

I already described it:
You buy the dips on bitstamp or btc-e then sell the tops. Keep the profit in BTC, send it to gox and sell there.
Rinse & repeat & accumulate.
But you have to sell the tops at Gox and you won't be able to cash out before Christmas. lol

only if you have a shitload of cash somewhere in a bank account or something, and are willing to leave it on Gox until they come up with faster withdrawals.
That's the only solution I can see. But then you increase your exposure risk.

That depends on the waiting period between buying your fiat and being able to transfer it to another exchange to sell it.
The arbitrageable gap has existed for over a month and fiat withdrawals only take a week.
The only snag is if the price of fiat continues to drop at too fast a pace to maintain a sufficient spread.
If your aim is to acquire more fiat, it's easy. Simply sell high at an exchange with high prices such as Bitstamp or BTC-E, and buy low at MtGox. If the spread is sufficient, a mere week's wait is nothing to earn up to 10% on your investment. Since the sell and re-buy happen within minutes, the chance of the spread closing is negligible. Low risk, decent profit.
The "sell and re-buy happen within minutes"? Your going to need to show me how that's done in detail because I've been waiting almost 6 weeks to get cash out of Gox and it ain't happening. I haven't seen Mark Karpeles in the news or heard of an interview or seen a statement in months. Magical Tux hasn't posted here since early June. As far as I know the United States of Japan has taken him into custody and impounded MtGox to operate as a honey pot.

That's why TA is more or less useless. Market volume and liquidity is not nearly large enough to make it meaningful.
Bingo.
I disagree. If you had (and if you still do) look at just the money flow index, you'll see that the last time we were this close to being overbought in the last 6 months, was the rise to 260. This rise was and is easily predicted through TA. In fact, this rise could actually surpass the BTC all time high but we'll see. My guess, is we're in for some massive gains over the coming days. 200 is going to get run through like nothing.
Congrats Bulls!
hey moron,
last time was preceded by massive inflows of money to gox. not happening now.
we go to $180, and no more. We level there until gox fixes its shit
i would strongly prefer us not going to more then $150 right now to be honest. Slow and steady. I'd like us to even just hang out at $130 for the next two weeks before heading to $150. I'd be happier with a reliable value rather then just a high value that's doomed to crash as fast as it peaked.

didn't they fix their shit, haven't i heard you can withdraw and deposit freely again?
Finally, the issues with deposits and withdrawals from Mt. Gox are being relieved,
About 8 weeks of trying to get fiat out of Gox. Fortunately I bought and transferred most of my funds in btc when the price was still below 100. I left $100 just to see if they are out of business and not announcing it or if they ever start withdrawals again.

So how are the speculators doing here?
Price seems to hold, I expected it to fall by now.
We are almost October, still 3 months to go before the end of the year.
I'm still thinking/hoping we will see a dip between now and the end of the year.
Price is stable. Eerily stable, no? current price ≃ 24h average ≃ 30d average, on both mtgox and bitstamp.
What does that tells us? I'm not sure, to be honest. Looking at the historical precedence, I would expect a solid upward break out. But my intuition says it won't be that easy.
Remember the $5 stability we had for months?
Institutional investors will add stability. Growth in price should become more gradual with greater adoption. Everyone wants Bitcoin to spread so they can sell high after the big jump. It's more likely that increased adoption will increase stability and force you to wait a long time for your big jump. It will still happen but not at the "get rich quick" pace everyone would like.

Edit: Maybe I shouldn't have asked that, now there's no sign of the 1BTC that I just sent to BCT-e over an hour ago, nor any mention of it on the Blockchain.info page for that address.
my first station to check would be this thread:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=179586.1640it looks like there are delays in withdrawals with every currency (usd, euro, even some mentioned btc).
more a question at what time you call it a delay.
standard waiting time for euro seems to be around 20 days to a month, but it's gox so i wouldn't count on it.
perhaps we should make another speculation thread on that subject...
Thanks. It's nearly two hours and still no sign of that transaction on blockexplorer.com or Blockchain.info. It might only be 1BTC but I still want it. Hopefully it'll turn up by tomorrow.........?

The eu
If anything it would be the EU run right now.
I don't think the EU would be so worried. Drugs are not hard to come by in Europe, and enforcement is lax for personal use. Here in the Czech Republic they are basically legal so you don't need bitcoin for that.
That's right. If anything they would worry about the yanks perception on price and follow suit.

i have no doubt that many overstate their profits on these forums as well. i mean, it's an anonymous forum...why not?
be careful,.... apparently its not anonymous because Theymos (the admin and founder of this forum) gave the Feds info of SR owner suspect.
Next would be IRS, you will be ding for income tax violation.
I'm curious about this as well. If Theymos is forced I'm expecting him to cough up data (I'm not saying I'm happy about it), but at the very least he should publicize that he has done so IMMEDIATELY on the forums.
You guys should read more. The dude posted his own gmail address. Theymos didn't have to give anyone anything.
That doesnt mean he didnt cooperate with the Feds.
This is true, but it would be silly to make assumptions. The dude's gmail address was his actual name.

Swing trading maybe. It would probably be best to call it "trading" generally, because there are 2 large fractions here: those who trade at all and those who don't.
Traders are looking for fast small returns. Investors are looking for large secure returns over time. It's safe to call the people looking for small rapid returns day traders. Day traders watch the market daily but may not initiate a trade unless the market is favorable and that may not be daily.

You sold all? Really?
IMO at current BTC valutation selling "for good" (to cash in fiat profits) more than 35% of ones BTC stash is completely crazy, regardless of when you bought in.
If you bought in low double digits/single digits, then your profits are SO HUGE that selling only 20% will grant you a massive gain, while you still keep bullets for the "next round".
If you bought just a few weeks/months ago, then selling 20% is probably enough to recover your full investment, while you keep riding the BTC trading.
In any case, selling all seems like something you will bitterly regret in the near future. I guess you dig in the forums and read the stories of those who sold tens of k's of coins in 2011 (if not hundreds of thousands of coins), bought a nice house and a nice car and retired from the BTC scene for good. Just 2 years after those guys would be so wealthy that their kids and the kids of their kids would be all set for life.
Yep - it might not happen. But its the kind of opportunity you just cannot afford to lose
I already kind of regret it but I mined for most of my coin so long ago and this is such a giant windfall that it's hard to not be happy.

You're all right to hold on to some for the future, and I kept a couple just in case, but it does feel really good to have made money and cashed out. For many of the dream chasers here cashing out is a bedtime fantasy. I don't want to dream about it anymore. At what point do you cash out? At retirement or when you have a big purchase and need the money? Never? I hope the price goes to a million a coin and we are all rich off a few coins but I most likely won't live long enough to see that happen.
I haven't spent a coin since Jeremy was selling Amazon cards to Americans. So I've been saving for a long time. Time to spend!

I understand you, I guess it also depends on your circumstances. But I have to admit it strikes me just because I wouldn't do what you did (and in fact I'm not doing that, but cashing out very slowly and progressively). I mean, 20% of what you cashed out is already $100k, which is a reasonable amount. Let's say that $100k buys you 1 year of comfortable life while you still ride this choo choo train with 80% of your holdings. Its so clear for me that's the only way to go with BTC, to hold with as many coins as possible to see if it realizes its potential and the long-term trend continues, that it strikes me to hear stories like yours. But again: I guess its a matter of circumstances too. Congrats and enjoy

Oh, you're right it's not. But I have relatives in Europe and it's taken more than 4 days. When the money comes through the house is paid off. Funny but this market is so unstable that by the time I get the cash everyone here could be mega rich or broke.

Does anyone else thinks that attack on the forum had a suspicious timing?
Well, read rpietilla's post from November 10th quoted 2-3 pages ago and you'll see many suspicious things
Do you got the link handy?
BUT
A real crash will have the following characteristic:
- price will have risen really high, really quickly over several weeks
- 100,000s of bitcoins are brought to the market by large manipulators that are sure of their ability to tip it over
- Some bitcoins will be sold to induce the forced closure of leveraged positions, resulting in a flashcrash
- Price will quickly bounce back to almost where it was
- The following day/night lots of bitcoins will be sold to destroy the market sentiment and start a panic
- Exchanges, information services, this forum, etc. will be ddosed, mass media publicity will be enormous and negative
- Price will plummet so that about 3 weeks' gains will be erased (about 75% from the high), although it will remain above the previous ATH (in this case $266) by a clear margin.
I won't go into details why it happens this way, but a big reason is that exchanges utterly lack liquidity and btc/usd-rate is therefore at a mercy of manipulators.
There's no massive insight here. This is just a statement of history because it's happened several times before. Who on this forum is stupid enough to believe btc/usd-rate is
not at the mercy of manipulators?

We do not have 10 times more anything, compared to last summer. 5 times we have, so the price is overvalued by a factor of 2, and will go down -50%.
I have thousands of lines of research on the subject but nobody reads it anyway so why even post...
But this is btc:-D
Btc dont care
You should be the right person to bet for BTC against me...
How about:
- Will Bitstamp surpass its ATH of $1163/BTC in 2 months?- If this price is breached, Goat wins.
- If not (until February 13th 24:00 UTC), rpietila wins.
Bet amount is $50,000, (odds 1:1) paid in bitcoins at the rate of the settlement date.
you make a claim that btc will go down 50%. Then try to make a bet that has nothing to do with btc going down 50%?
What am I missing?The opportunity to make $50k.

Something tells me I should have bought at 815 this morning...
Is it the fact that the price is >815 right now?
Yes. If I knew the future, I should have bought at 815, sold at 865 and then waited for the dip.
And as everyone knows, clouded the future is, always shifting.

How does the Chinese government proclaim to everyone through government videos, the great and amazing Bitcoin, only to outlaw its use a few months later?
I think they like bitcoin as a reserve currency versus the USD, but not as an escape against capital controls. So they want to make sure they have all the info on people holding them.
Thats right.... thats why they will remove btc from being used as currency (no tax evasion)
Then remove 3rd party payment system.... easier to check/trace identities.
Heck did you guys know in China, registering ISP account requires government ID?
Even using public internet requires government ID....

I too paid an exhorbitant amount of BTC for a 60GH/sec miner. However, when it was obviously a net loser, even on a USD basis, I immediately flipped it for a profit. 60GH/sec smells like BFL to me, which is of course where we both went wrong: Taking a flyer on thieves. But in general, when you are not being conned, mining is profitable. Even the block erupters are paying for themselves these days, and almost nobody bought those thinking they would ever be profitable. Why, given the cost of the BTC then and now, in USD terms that 100BTC would be profitable now, would it not?
It had to be a bitforce single right?

Have you ever watched the price of petrol/gasoline during a global crisis? It increases dramatically. When the event is over and the market stabilizes the price drops but never to the level that it was before the event that moved it. Bitcoin is proving to be a commodity the reacts similarly.

I hear what you are saying but gas prices are the most manipulated commodity ever. bitcoin is heavily manipulated but not to the same extent i.e. there is no real opec in our scenario. We could say the 'bit' in 'bitcoin' is because it's a bit like oil, a bit like gold, a bit like whatever.
I suppose the gold/oil connection is scarcity/difficulty. I'd argue bitcoin is closer to gold than oil. Gold and bitcoin have arguable intrinsic value but it's scarcity that makes them valuable. Same for diamonds/silver etc. Yes you can do some stuff, make jewelry and electronic components but it's manly about a store of wealth.
Oil is different. Oil has a real intrinsic value. It is fuel. A real difficultly(cost) to mine plus it has a cartel limiting the supply.
talking out loud tbh lol
I like that - a bit like oil, a bit like gold. lol
I meant the reaction from market manipulation instead of actual intrinsic value. Bitcoin is highly manipulated by a few power players, so is crude oil.

Oil is manipulated with supply too though. Totally agree that the bitcoin market itself is manipulated with big players willing to dump coins at below market prices to panic the market at which stage they buy back. rinse and repeat.
I agree but also believe that the slow reward feeding of the supply of Bitcoin is a type of manipulation, albeit a constant one by design. The only difference is oil supply can be halted completely but I guess miners could halt the supply of Bitcoins for some bizarre currently unforeseen reason.

pure speculation here, but what do you guys/girls think are the chances that Loaded or similar has something to do with those old moved coins and they have potentially been sold/are going to be sold off an exchange, presumably to a Chinese buyer?
I agree. It is more likely that these coins were sold privately. You don't just dump 1% of the outstanding bitcoins on BitStamp (or cavirtex
).
We've all seen how large sell orders can drive down the price, but remember, if big players want to get into this game, they must be very worried about driving up the price too high before establishing a position commensurate with their wealth
And there are *very* big players waking up to the possibilities of bitcoin. Take Vladimir Putin, with a potential net worth between $40 - $70 billion (
http://www.thebureauinvestigates.com/2012/04/19/putin-the-richest-man-on-earth/). Just think how difficult it would be for him to buy up 1% of the outstanding bitcoins (which is only ~0.1-0.2% of his net worth!). He would need to cut deals with early adopters holding large numbers of coins. I also bet he is paying *more* than the market value. (Of course, Putin is probably not buying;
the point is that there are at least a few rich billionaires who are.)

So you think it is more likely that not a single billionaire in the entire world has taken a position in bitcoin, despite all the news and excitement? Isn't Richard Branson a billionaire? I think we have evidence that he holds some coins.
I don't believe billionaires would buy into Bitcoin because their riches are based in fiat and it is their best interest to support the status quo. Show me proof that a billionaire has bought a substantial quantity of Bitcoin.

In the spirit of our "speculation sub-forum," indeed I have no proof. And yes, I should have written "the point is that there are at least a few rich billionaires who
could very well be buying.
The point of my post was to show the difficultly in buying up *large* amounts of coins without driving the price through the stratosphere. I used Putin as an example because only 0.1-0.2% of his estimated net worth is already 1% of the bitcoin market!
I agree that billionaires benefit from the status quo. But I also believe that billionaires will hedge their bets so that they can retain their wealth through turbulent times. What's interesting is that this "hedging" process can really shoot up the price and make bitcoin more likely to succeed.
Ok I like the edited form. I can agree with that.

interest in status quo bc status quo is in their best interests. there is an albeit small possibility status quo may begin to fail in that regard, perhaps already has started. the hedged and exploratory position or mere interest can quickly snowball.
The Bitcoin market is a flea on an elephants ass currently. Small fish (the winklevoss douches) that want to be big fish are buying in because they need a speculative monster to advance quick enough to be able to enjoy their great wealth before the age that their dicks shrivel into an unusable Vienna sausage.

The Winklevoss are also young and have time to grow into very big fishes. Remember, the wealth held by those in their 50s, 60s and 70s
must be passed down to the younger generation. Bitcoin is one possible mechanism to facilitate this.
A lot can happen in a generation.
Small fry's are buying in because they want large returns and are willing to take the risk of their investment vehicles not being on Standard & Poor's aa rating. Inheritance is a different issue.

Bitcoinity sometimes has bugs with regard to the market depths of exchanges, so I wouldn't rely on it. If this order book data is consistent with other sources however, it is certainly indicative of made up trades on their part.
Why trust any Chinese exchange, really? OkCoin has been confirmed to fake it, BTCChina's volume dropped like a ROCk once they implemented fees (= HF bots not being able to do their work anymore), and Huobi is offering 0% fees.

BTCGuild released 4 blocks in less than 5 minutes, very likely suggesting they are doing Selfish-mining.
This is BAD, BAD VERY BAD. No one is doing shit about mining corruption, currently expanding like a cancer.
I've been following the pools lately:
https://blockchain.info/poolsBTCGuild 28%
Today's evidence points to Corruption.
Ghash.io 24%
Proven corrupt. They sat at 33% just one week ago. These nasty cats are alert, and listening to people's disgust. On Dec 24 they switched off (I was watching the pools graph as it happened) 5% of their power which then instantly reappeared as Unknown. They either sold a part of are just masking it under another private pool. These last couple of days, another 4% chunk moved to (apparently) Eligius.
Unknown 19%
As stated above this secret lot grew by 5% a couple days back. I would assume even more of it is just Ghash's extra power, in hiding..
BROAD LARGE SCALE DISHONEST MINING CORRUPTIONWhy are so few people saying anything about this and even less doing something (I know there isn't a clear thing to do tho..)??
How many of the early adopters are in on this? Is this why this is being kept on the low?
We are sitting right now at 52% corrupt network....
what does organofcoti say about this? i highly doubt its 100% true

whether news should impact the price or not doesn't matter when so many are watching out for it as a means to pick up more coin.
also to ignore the news means you have no doubt as to the long term prospects of btc, a lot of people don't share that sentiment yet so like to be prepared to bail.
But you can't use the media as your only means of justifying trade in any market and that seems to be what people are doing.

guess the price is a kind of troll
but guess the market sentiment and try to guess what direction is the market heading is what I will go for, and BTW whoever tells you that sentiment and news, adoption rate.. are not important in this market is really delusional! this is not wall street when you have professional brokers that can guess moves based on calculations, you have 80% regular people who never traded before playing around the unpredictable by nature bitcoin, you just fart and a panic sell starts, you post a peace of good news and price to da moon and this is exactly what some members are trying to trigger here...
also, there is really few people here who use a logic and common sense, others they go with what there desire points, if they are full in BTC you will hear "choo choo, buy buy, to da moon..." if they are part or all in FIAT you will hear " bitcoin will crash any moment, it is a dead cat bounce , double top, bubble.."

There is no "just talk" when it comes to making a bet. If you confirm that you really mean it - you mean it.
Matthew Wright got a scammer tag for something similar.
With that said, I wouldn't take any bet as a real thing until escrow was achieved. A person should stick to their word though.
He quoted T.Stuart's post indicating that he accepted the "gentleman's agreement" to send the 1BTC without escrow at the cutoff.
At the very least, he should get a scammer tag, as Matthew did. Otherwise where's the consistency?
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=178336.msg4376376#msg4376376Though as far as I can tell he's had an extra 24 hours over his originally stated cutoff anyway, so he's quite late paying up
I was one of the people who bet against him , I asked him specifically if he is still taking bets at that moment.
But again , I didn't believe for more than 1 second I would get 1
BTC and that was when I was falling asleep.
But since I was sure from the start he didn't have the resources to take the best , I'll personally let him go if he helps with my project:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=405612.msg4394568#msg4394568 Is doesn't seem like a smart move to take an unsecured bet with someone that you don't believe will pay. If you lost you would have to pay or be labeled a scammer. He has everything to win and nothing to lose. The most you can hope to do is not lose.

I understand what you are saying but in principle for me:
1. If I make a bet with someone I honour it... not because they need the money but because I keep my word or lose my reputation. An escrow is fine but doesn't change this.
2. Bitcoin was not going so low in so short a time. No question. That's why I took the bet. That's why 8 or so others jumped in also! And if China had announced banning Bitcoin an hour after the bet then bad luck for me.
Contrary to what you say TheCoinBull will lose his reputation if he doesn't pay. That's his choice to make. I'll leave that up to him.
No, I get it. You felt it was a no brainer bet. The payoff for you is watching him destroy his rep. I guess that does have, at least, a sadistic value. Schadenfreude lovers unite! lol

You traded the silk-road shut down. Huge balls. Hell, you've got to have huge balls to trust one of these Bitcoin exchanges to actually function properly!
I made a buttload of btc during that panic episode. Just don't trade on Gox. BTCe is actually really fast for trading.

No trading fees. So those trading can trade 100x more often withy their bots than they can on the other exchanges.
I see. But if the bitcoins actually change hands, then the trades (robot or not) are not fake, and and the price they define is the real price. Non-zero fees obviously drive speculators away from other exchanges.
If Huobi's daily BTC volume is now really 4x that of Bitstamp, MtGox and BTC-e (as Bitcoinwisdom seems to show) , then they should tend to control the market, with the others following through arbitrage.
Huobi is only big because Chinese have been squirting out kids like shrimp at a buffet for generations. There's no one other than Chinese trading there.

This is what a takeover looks like.
Real money wants in. Thanks, kids, for coming up with this here “Bitcoin” – we get it now. You’ve shown that it’s so robust and useful that even the incompetent and the illegal can take it to $10Bn. Now kindly leave and let us take it from here.
That letter from the Next Money Representative 5 left MK hanging out to dry. He thought they would help, but they just supplied a coup de grace. They want a clear-out and to bring in a legislative framework. They’re building acceptance, so the unacceptable need to go.
Short term, the media and banks will crucify the ecosystem. This will cover the smart money accumulation phase. Some here will hand over their coins in exchange for a car or a house. That’s fine, and it’s a shame others got burned, but there’s a handover going and a little turbulence is to be expected.
We’re heading out of beta.
Soo... HODL?
Here's another wild idea.
Karpeles had the US Gov seize $5 mil and threaten to chase him down and eventually shove hot pokers up his ass at Guantanamo Bay for being instrumental in drug money laundering. He consults an attorney and they come up with the plan of claiming that he really has not done any business since 2011 because he's an incredible programmer fuckup and doesn't know how to hire good people to fix problems for him. He never visited this forum personally so he never heard of offline wallets or safety precautions. The attorney tells him the US Gov can't prosecute you if you were not really exchanging money. Wait a year or so, go bankrupt and claim the incident happened back in 2011. The US Gov will back off so no more hot poker up the ass threats. Hell, ten years from now if Bitcoin survives you can even spend some of the stolen Bitcoins!

Why?
It seems to suggest that bitcoin is/was stable prior to China getting involved.
Also, if Chinese people are allowed to hold bitcoins, they have taken a chunk of the supply away.
In contrast, if the Chinese now all want to get rid of bitcoin, selling a large amount of bitcoins in a short timeframe would send the price below "fair price without chinese" for now.

MPOE is a knowledgeable asshole (let's say "intentionally controversial" if you want the polite version) but as far as I remember, he also proved in the past that BTC price predictions are not his field of expertise.
He is your god.

Welcome back to the collective. As they say in Ireland:
May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind always be at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
and rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May you hold Bitcoin in the palm of your hand.Thanks and funny you should say that last part because I just printed my paper wallet. I'm holding all my coins in the palm of my hand. lol

If you bought Bitcoin a year ago would you have made a profit or not? How about a year before that? I guess the thing to do is buy as much as you can afford right now and come back next year to tell the story of your great success.

So if you had the power to ban any number of posters in this thread -- all their posts deleted, they cannot post on this forum again -- who would you ban, and why?
The owner of the forum makes decisions as to how much trolling is allowed.
Personally, I would NOT delete or allow the deletion or editing of posts except under very rare circumstances....
Also, I am of the opinion that banning cannot take place, if the users do NOT know the rules or that what they did is offensive, so they would have to be clearly informed of the rules. They may be warned before they are banned depending on the egregiousness of the behavior... or whether they are accepting to follow the rules in the future. ... At this point, I do NOT have enough information to name any user(s) that should be banned or that has been egregiously been breaking rules in particular b/c if they have NOT been warned or told what they are doing is offensive, then that would NOT be fair to ban or suspend them.
Again, ultimately the owner(s) of the forum makes these kinds of decisions, so the above is merely my own speculation based on your question.
Okay, who would you warn? I'm not asking you what you think the owners would do. I'm asking what you would do.
They should be tied to an ant hill and raped with a broom handle while a bear and a bull shit on their head.

You betcha. Peter Todd dumped at LEAST five figures. Dollars, that is.
On a side I wonder how much the core devs are invested personally, out of pure curiosity.
Jeff Garzik publically stated he "only" has 348 BTC which is far less than some speculators here.
I have met another vip core dev in person and I understood he is in the thousands BTC but below 10k.
Gavin has (had last year) more than 20K
BTCWhere did you get that from? I asked him long ago if he mined and made a bunch of Bitcoins early on and he said he didn't mine and didn't have many.

speculation forum, where the crypto-wealthy hang out to discuss how to evade extortion.
This thread didn't get to be over 9000 pages long (counting its predecessor) by only talking about market action, especially when nothing is happening.
Here's some market action for you. What direction do you think btc will head when the news on Monday comes out about the auction price of the SR coins? The news is the important part. The actual sale price is less important because an astute business man would know not to crash the price by releasing coins rapidly.

And the winklevosses adore them. Vorhees cares about human freedom and dignity, while the winklevosses care about the value of their bitcoin. Thus vorhees is disappointed while the winklevosses are encouraged.
Wii are afraid to rub tptb the wrong way; if the adorable twins make astringent pronouncements à la Voorhees, teacher won't give them the gold star.
Suckups.
at this stage in the game... I think the regs are a good thing for the next stage of the BTC life cycle...... later down the line.... things will change I am sure as BTC becomes ubiquitous. I think there is a middle ground point of view on the regs themselves... between the views of the winklevosses and Erik.... my feelings towards the future of cryptos is more aligned with Erik as far as I know , however I differ on how negative
I think these regs are at the moment I think they are good becuse they bring clarity and a framework- a foothold if you like for BTC to continue its path- not that it needs it... but fact is... they are coming, they are going to be put into place, and as such- they are not "bad" or should I say "not too bad" It is a far cry from "BTC is bannned" or regulated out of use (good luck with that one) One way or another I do not see these regs being the end of "Cryptos for humanity" either. There are too many people around the world fed up of the boot on their face.
Voorhees is just a slick well educated criminal. His only concern is his free ability to sucker people into incredible wealth for himself. Let's face it, his past business ventures haven't been humanitarian concerns. He created a gambling site that bombed the blockchain at a time when it wasn't prepared for it. He sold illegal securities and only paid anyone back after his legal counsel told him he could go to jail. He stole 2600 Bitcoins from people with FeedZBirds and never returned any of it. He couldn't care less about any freedom other than the freedom to steal. The Winklevoss at least want Bitcoin to "fit into society" for now. That leads to wide spread adoption and more profit for all of us.

It's always surprised me (I've been watching Voorhees schtick for years) how many people are willing to suck on that little pussy's clit while watching him steal from people. It's obvious to me that he only wants to eliminate all consumer protection and regulation so HE can avoid prosecution. His version of a free market is one where everyone is free to give him their money and there is nothing holding him back. To me, he makes Jim Jones look like a saint. At least Jones was promising eternal life in his new version of society.

If BTC-e ran with the money is there anything anyone could do about it? It just smells like up coming scandal to me. I was wonder what everyone else thought?
Im actually buying some coins, but I wonder if I should sell a few (over a 100) and buy them back since I can almost guarantee that sometime tonight well test 400 and then rebuy.. Ive been burned in the passed doing this, but i think this may be a fairly good bet..
Thoughts?
I am a holder and dont plan on selling, I just think this downward spiral isn't over with and this may be a good time to take advantage of a for sure bear market as this isn't a trap (I think). I know im taking a chance.. but either way, Id buy them back even if I had to take a loss.
Ill probably chicken out and just hold, but im thinking about it..
Probably a bad idea but who really knows for sure.
BTC-e is the only exchange that ever gave me back all my coin when they were hacked. I've been fucked by all the rest. I'm still waiting for TradeHill and CryptoXChange to pay me.

I actually like BTC-e the most as well. Greater price fluctuations on downturns, but they don't screw with their prices, there seems to be fewer exchange based bots designed to squeeze you on the trade spread, and they don't reverse trades. I honestly trust their price more than the others right now although, who the hell knows.

Not sure if this has been said yet, but I think the price might rise substantially after the Alibaba IPO opens today. Many people may have sold coins and are holding it in Fiat. If and when the price goes past the amount they want to pay for the stock they will then take that fiat and reinvest it back into BTC as soon as they can. It will in essence cause a run up very quickly in Bitcoin as well.
We will see of course. . .
Hmm... interesting what time IPO opens ? Lets hope You are right.
Supposed to open at any moment.
It is on LIVE at
https://www.nyse.com/bellI am trying to buy a little but I did not sell any BTC to do so. Just moving some funds from a Roth IRA over to it.
Should be interesting today . . .
Now why would that cause the price to rise? Sorry I'm not getting it.

Many Chinese investors want to purchase. Easiest way for them to do so would be selling off BTC here in US somehow. They already sold to have fiat ready. This is pure speculation of course.
Oh, I see what your getting at. They sold to go into a more profitable investment.

This BABA IPO has just turned Alibaba into one of the biggest companies in the world, at current cap , almost bigger than Amazon and Ebay together...
Chinese company, with "worlds biggest digital ecosystem" they are like a mixture between Ebay, Paypal, Facebook and Youtube..
there is a possibility some BTC holders sold (the dip yesterday) to get some liquid funds today to ride what I think is going to be a pump today/this week. If they flip on the pump then they (being any BTC holders playing this trade) could return with their profits.
Options start in a few weeks, think this is going to be rocky ride for BABA.
Also down the line if Alibaba become BTC friendly... it could be a good thing... at the moment they are anti BTC.

Dreaming about what? I am talking about BTC holders that are also speculators ... am I dreaming that there are speculators involved in Bitcoin, and Chinese speculators involved in Bitcoin? do you think? I do not think so.
Is it improbable that a Chinese/American speculator that is speculating in Bitcoin, might just be interested in one of the biggest IPO's of all time and the biggest IPO of a Chinese company ever?
I think it is quite likely that a) some Chinese/Global BTC owners, (and BTC holders in general) are speculators and that some of those speculators would be interested in speculating in the biggest Chinese IPO ever , it is a tech company, and chinese one at that.... or do you suppose that speculators in BTC are only interested in BTC? I think not... not all but some, and more likely ones with deep pockets will be interested in speculating in different and interesting markets... especially a quick opportunity to flip the pump (launched at $92.70 and spiked to $99.5 in minutes before a sell off... that there is profit)
Speculators like profit, some speculators are BTC speculators, = BABA IPO 1st day retail pump = opportunity to speculate and profit.
I don't think they will come running back to Bitcoin just because Bitcoin. The money will flow wherever there is a large quick profit.

As happy as i am that BFL is fucked it isn't good for Bitcoin. Just imagine the news and how people react to it. Another "bitcoin company" who screwed everyone over. More ammo for the haters how Bitcoin is evil.
Nonsense! People will see their is motivation for Bitcoin businesses to be reputable because they are not above the law. It is just as possible for all of the prosecutions to be positive. It's much worse to see businesses get away with constantly screwing people.

I'm selling just enough to get some cash, and then I'm going to pray to god that this thing craters an enormous hole in the ground. The price is getting so low that I'm actually getting EXCITED about my chance to buy back in again. SINGLE DIGITS BABY!!!!!!!!COME ON!!!!!!
A quote from the NYT's article:
http://www.forbes.com/sites/markrogowsky/2014/10/05/krugmania-as-bitcoins-price-falls-the-nyt-pundit-takes-a-very-premature-victory-lap/"Here’s an example from the land of speculative frenzy cum even better reality, with a massive dose of pain thrown in between. Consider Priceline, the online travel broker. A dot-com poster child back in the late 1990s, the stock was at $497 when it went public, not terribly long after Krugman compared the internet to fax machines. It would double soon after and then join in the dot-bomb implosion. The stock lost more than 99% of its value by December of 2000, falling below $9 per share and wouldn’t reliably escape the $20s until 2006. Priceline today trades for $1139 per share, up 14,748% from its lows.
When, exactly, were you supposed to point and laugh at everyone who invested in the company? When were you supposed to call the idea of selling off excess hotel inventory a “con”? It’s impossible to know, of course, if the trajectory of Bitcoin will in any way resemble Priceline’s. For one, Bitcoin would have to continue dropping down to about $12 from current levels (around $305 as I write this, but very volatile) to match the fall of Priceline. For another, Priceline is a company and Bitcoin is a combination of a currency and a commodity, the latter a function of the “mining” that’s done to create the coins in the first place. The potential of Bitcoin far exceeds anything Priceline has done."

Those "1 QUADRILLION!!! btc" bets are so off-putting. Last one that I remember that completely failed was something between rpietila and windjc, iirc.
Point is, with a stake that high (even for the "big holders"), it never comes to fruition. Take a hint from the regular money rich dudes: when they make a public bet, it's in a reasonable range: cigars worth a few thousand dollars. 10k to a charity. Stuff like that. They don't always need to flash 25% of their net worth to make a bet.
Hence my suggestion: if you want to call someone out on a statement, in the form of a bet, make it in the range of a few k USD. 5 BTC. 10 maybe. It's enough to make your point, looks good, and most importantly: it's not so bloated an amount that it never will be taken up.

Say 500 because you know nobody will do that and when someone says less you are not interested. Pussy.
Well of course I did. Anyone stupid enough to even bet $100 on something so unpredictable is nuts. No one can predict this market even for a 24 hour period. IT isn't gambling to hold Bitcoin for a long time. You will eventually get your money back out. If you spot a drop that allows you to buy more great but trading constantly for a few percent in profit is too risky. It's like playing dice. You can't predict the roll of the dice.

Oh it does take something special.. it takes atleast 10k hours just like any other profession. Anything less and you are just that.. a gambler not a trader/investor. Most ppl give up.... and I prefer long term valuations instead of trading because I don't have the time to devote to watch swing positions and be mentally prepared for shifting sentiment.
But they assume that the people posting here have and they can lose big time. I will assume that you have all the experience and degrees in trading and you are giving sound advise. What if I acted on it and sold everything waiting for this big drop than never happened? That's bad.

Then you didn't get my point, or I didn't make it clear enough:
The "old school" example of millionaire/billionaire bets (that I know of) are for sums as well that "aren't really worth it" for the people involved.
I always assumed they make those relatively modest bets because a) it doesn't look too outlandish to the general population, and b) it serves the purpose: "putting money where one's mouth is".
But, yes, if your main goal of a public bet is to make money with it, then high stakes are necessary I suppose.
You're right I should have just told him to stop telling people about "the big drop". That was stupid.

Those "1 QUADRILLION!!! btc" bets are so off-putting. Last one that I remember that completely failed was something between rpietila and windjc, iirc.
Point is, with a stake that high (even for the "big holders"), it never comes to fruition. Take a hint from the regular money rich dudes: when they make a public bet, it's in a reasonable range: cigars worth a few thousand dollars. 10k to a charity. Stuff like that. They don't always need to flash 25% of their net worth to make a bet.
Hence my suggestion: if you want to call someone out on a statement, in the form of a bet, make it in the range of a few k USD. 5 BTC. 10 maybe. It's enough to make your point, looks good, and most importantly: it's not so bloated an amount that it never will be taken up.
/rant
I always believed that anyone sitting constantly watching this thread and trying to predict movement was playing with a lot of coin. It hardly seems worth it to me if your not.
I'm not watching this thread like you make it out to seem.. I came on here based on my analysis to provide what I thought was going to happen based on the charts I saw... which I check maybe once or twice a day. I genuinely am not trying to scare people off to sell or whatnot so I can buy cheaper I try to say what I think the truth is. I hold coins and never sold 1 although my average buy in price is much lower.
That's exactly what I thought you were trying to do. Scare people off.
I know you thought that based on your reply to me and that's why I'm telling you that. Anyways no point to call people out with something you can't back up either... contrary to what you may think the market is not totally random.. although mathematicians claimed to have proven it so, I've been around long enough to see that they aren't... money management is HARDER than trying to predict direction which you can train to determine with an edge... and an edge of 1% is sufficient to make any amount of money you like over time, but the balls to put money where you mouth is harder than anything else.. so essentially if I get odds based on what I believe is the direction then why wouldn't I be prepared to bet on it? We can do a smaller amount if you would like.
I don't think it takes anything special to be a gambler. But all the negative - it's gonna drop really low is keeping it down. A lot of people read this silly thread and don't post and take the advice of people that really don't know what's going to happen.
Oh it does take something special.. it takes atleast 10k hours just like any other profession. Anything less and you are just that.. a gambler not a trader/investor. Most ppl give up.... and I prefer long term valuations instead of trading because I don't have the time to devote to watch swing positions and be mentally prepared for shifting sentiment.
But they assume that the people posting here have and they can lose big time. I will assume that you have all the experience and degrees in trading and you are giving sound advise. What if I acted on it and sold everything waiting for this big drop than never happened? That's bad.
Its up to the reader to qualify in his mind which posts he will pay attention to and which one he won't... to my knowledge I give sound advice and it may be wrong... may be right.. but I believe even with a 1% edge over time you will be more right than wrong and that's all that matters... if someone is putting more than 1% allocation on a bet like that they will end up with 0 sum because the odds aren't in his favour. Just like people claiming to da moon or to da floor... people don't really pay attention unless they qualify it with a reason in their mind to do something about it. I could have given a more technical basis for the reason I posted what I did but I seriously would rather refrain from that unless im backed into a corner and I have to come up with the time to explain because everyone and their dog can "predict" price in the short term like you say.. some people seem to get it right more than they get it wrong.. and thats probably why there are traders who make it and aren't reliant on luck alone.
I understand. You I might listen to and take short term advise from. You provide rational arguments and really seem to know what your doing unlike the shit talkers here who post intelligent responses like Derp. I'm sorry I thought you were just another one being a downer. As someone suggested, I should have just asked you why you thought that.

How am I a shit talker because I agreed with everyone calling you out for being pretentious with a fake bet? I said "derp" because, frankly, you were alluding to the fact that personal responsibility is somehow not an implied necessity for life in general.
Ok, you're not a shit talker. You should have just called me out like you just did. People are responsible sure but they get led in the wrong direction all the time. That's not their fault. If not this forum where are you supposed to get advise on Bitcoin?

It's up to the individual to read everything they can, and come to their own conclusions. It's simple due diligence. You can't just come to this forum and expect to get sound financial advice. And if you think someone makes valid points, read their post history. See if they've ever been right. Or see if they just spout the same crap no matter the price (half the bulls in this section of the forum). Better yet, just use common sense. Sans a black swan event, it's pretty easy to gauge the sentiment of the community across here, reddit, and other sources. That, and a little math and the available network metrics. When X amount of coins are minted per day requiring X amount of millions to sustain a price seems outlandish based on perceived sentiment, or the driving force behind a rally (China) is losing steam amidst disconcerting government announcements, hey, it's probably going down a bit. No need to listen to people shouting "cheap coins" when all this is staring you right in the face.
Yeah, that's all true. I have learned that slowly, oddly enough, from watching this thread. I think this forum controls Bitcoin price more than it should. This thread in particular is one that is a controlling force because people do make buy and sell decisions based on what they see here and it pops up every time at the top of "new forum posts" because it's the most active thread on the forum.

It scares me to think this forum is a market maker. I sort of refuse to believe it, but it may be true. If it is, everything is far more fragile than I thought.
Yeah, it is scary and we are all trying to make long term money. I don't know if it's fragile or just confusing to people. If you knew nothing about Bitcoin and were thinking about buying a few but saw the volitility over the last couple of years you would go somewhere to find out if it a good time to buy. Good or bad, that place is here. Not here on this forum but here in this thread. I like the continuous to the moon talk even if it is total bullshit because that creates new money.

It does but, when done with poor timing in a correction, it also creates a lot of negativity because people start to lose value pretty quickly. That can just as quickly start a cycle of negativity that actually inhibits new money.
It might be negative in the short run but think about the long run. Lots of positive here defeats the negative in the press. Some poor fool buys at the wrong time and there is a drop. Ok, he's pissed at first but won't sell because he doesn't want to lose any money. While he's waiting for an increase he starts to read and learn. Now he likes the idea of Bitcoin because he understands it. Eventually it goes up and he's a happy convert to the cult. All of the honesty here is fucking up Bitcoin. lol

That's right. It's advertizing. You mean you people don't realize you are running a continuous Bitcoin advertisement? You know negative ads sell just like positive ones. That just sells the opposite outcome. People love Andreas because he sells a constant positive image of Bitcoin. People here are just as likely to sell a negative one.

With a name like "QuestionAuthority," I sorta assumed that you tried for a moral highground. Justifications along the lines of "if it's OK for selling used cars, it's fine for selling Bitcoin" are absurd. Even from purely pragmatic standpoint. When there's so much ideology and politics in the mix, lying backfires.
Just like your bluff 500BTC bet backfired--you were called on it, and had to do a lulzy backpeddle. Not a win.
*I do not love Andreas or any shills, for that matter. We're not selling timeshares. We're trying to change the world.
If you're looking at my name for an answer, the authority I'm questioning are the people in this thread constantly giving advise as if they have a crystal ball. I didn't do a lutzy back peddle I flatly admitted it. In case it's not obvious yet, I don't really give a flying fuck about what anyone in this thread thinks because I think you're all full of shit anyway. If your going to be full of shit anyway at least make it positive.
Who doesn't like Andreas! You have a funny way of changing the world, posing as an authority and preaching about profit? What world are you trying to create exactly?

You are being ridiculous. I believe that I already made my point, and your further belaboring this lame and unfounded investment suggestion likely rises to a level of trolling, rather than attempt to contribute with meaningful dialogue
Yeah, whatever dude. I think I'll take my $5,000 and let it sit in an investment for a year that's making 1% gains instead of finding a place to put it that promises a better return.
Yes. See you back in one year, and see how that goes for you. Good luck with your non bitcoin investments.
Do you run things through in your head before you say them to see if they make sense?
Actually, you are engaging in a typical attempt to engage in a non-substantive and distractive discussion by attempting to reverse the tables by suggesting that somehow I made some outlandish statement (by fabricating some kind of personal attack), rather than really contributing anything with substance regarding your conclusory prediction regarding BTC's future price direction. Where's the beef in your various predictions, QA?
When you sell Bitcoin you can buy it back at any time, right? If you buy gold, stock shares or auto parts you can sell them any time you like and buy something else. I'm not saying sell it forever. I'm saying there are a lot of better looking investments right now. Come back when Bitcoin starts moving again.

I would love to see Bitcoin really take off like it did when karpeles was manipulating the price. His bots made us a ton of money. I just think that currently there isn't enough movement to justify keeping much money in limbo. I do see reasons for waiting it out though. If you're very young, without resources and don't have much money to play with then moving it somewhere else won't do you much good. You may as well leave it alone and gamble on a large increase making you a few hundred percent profit. Also, if you're a bitcoin cultist you wouldn't sell at any price so you don't care if the price barely moves. A pure profit driven trader should know better than to hang out for ages waiting for a huge increase especially considering what we all now know about the reason for the original bubble up to $1,200.

Unfortunately this makes sense for a serious investor. I am an idiot and have quite a bit invested in btc that I could put elsewhere but I feel Bitcoin could go up at any moment, probably when I am least expecting it!
I hold a lot of silver too. I was told not to keep all your eggs in one basket so I decided to lose money on 2 different things. Oops
Seriously though, there are a lot more things out there that pay out a lot better from an investment point of view.
I'll go against what I know makes sense and keep on hodling btc.
There's nothing wrong with holding Bitcoin. It's no different than having a few gold or silver coins. You don't run out and sell them if the price holds steady for a few months. I was talking about serious investors and speculators. At one point, there were quite a few serious investors here. They should be somewhere else right now. That's probably why this thread is so dead lately.

Will be interesting to see what happens if gemini takes a large market share from the scam exchanges that engage in fraudulent and suspicious behavior.
Maybe they'll have to recruit a couple of special friends to turn up the volume to stop themselves from looking like dick heads. Life is quiet at present.
These guyz? Dick Headz? Pleaze...
Their definately not dick heads. A dick head has some value. It can make babies. These two scumbags can't accomplish anything on their own so they need to steal it from other people. Here's what they have accomplished so far.
Hired top experts (including their father who taught at Wharton) to do an appraisal of Facebook.
Based on the appraisal, they settled for $65 million, which has now turned into $160 million.
They refused to pay their lawyers and sued them for malpractice.
They lost an arbitration and owe those lawyers $13 million, which they have not paid.
After agreeing to the Facebook settlement, they sued again for more (aiming for $600 million).
In the same breath, they claim they are suing for moral reasons, which if true, is not at all believable.
As soon as the appellate ruling was read, they did not accept it and vowed to pursue further litigation.
They invested in BitInstant and lost their money when the company folded because one of the principles of the company was involved in illegal activity which they probably knew was happening.
As Forbes Kerry Dolan says , "In real life the Winklevoss twins don't come off as well as they do in the movie... To me, they just come across as spoiled greedy kids."
I hope they get raped with an rowing oar.

I'm becoming more and convinced the only legitimate use-case for Bitcoin is as a means of exchange on the darknet. The rest of us are just kind of confused parasites (or worse).
Well, I think you're lovely.
I'd agree in the sense that darknet is the one and only thing to you can point to and say it's something crypto can do that nothing else can.
There's no shortage of other uses where I think it's better than existing systems but it demands that the rest of the world sit up and start making use of it. For example I bought a pal of mine a coffee in Tblisi while I was relaxing in my y fronts at home. It would've taken a week or so for that money to filter through by conventional means.
Yep, micro payments and deep web payments (for people that know how to use it safely) are where bitcoin shines.

Of course it's not closed over the weekends. You can see the level of interest from the trades that occurred during the last 17 hours. The biggest trades were for 3 bitcoins, 2.12 bitcoins, and 4 bitcoins. All the other trades were for amounts below one bitcoin. Trades for 0.02 bitcoins make up the majority of trades.

Are you assuming that bitcoiners as a group are guided by some kind of aesthetical ethics? Or even worse, that Wall Street is?
You're right. I like to think of Bitcoiners as ethical liberal types that hate what the government did to Ross Ulbricht and want to make a difference. Coming to this thread makes me realize that probably isn't true.

Banks are the real clients in this case, and all they care about is making money. LOL@ them forfeiting potential massive profit (especially if crypto-currency becomes an asset class) because some guy in the bunch doesn't particularly fancy the CEO.
People are judgmental regardless of where they work and I seriously doubt wall street types see Bitcoin as this savior financial vehicle they've been waiting all their lives for. They might look at the track record of the CEO to see how sound their decisions are.

A recent post on the Clearmatics website, titled “No, Bitcoin is not the future of securities settlement,” provides a point-by-point analysis of the original Bitcoin whitepaper by Satoshi Nakamoto from the point of view of the financial establishment, and a clear outline of the reasons why banks and mainstream financial institutions won’t touch permissionless blockchain networks like Bitcoin.

Someone please remind me, in case I missed it, why does this happen on OKCoin?
On huge volume the price barely moves, then on low volume we have this drop (or the previous pump)?
I wish that those totally useless "bitcoin news" sites would investigate and report on this issue, if only by asking the exchange owners about those spikes.
On a couple of occasions, I have seen a huge sell order flash on the OKCoin order book, just at the top of the spread, only to be immediately and precisely eaten by a matching buy order. They may be trades arranged in advance, set to happen at a predetermined price or time.
I seem to recall, several years ago, an announcement by some exchange that they were implementing "shadow" book orders, that are invisible to most ordinary clients. Perhaps they just started showing shadow-book trades on the ordinary ticker, to boost their public volume numbers...
That seems to be what's happening. But why would they want a lot of off book transactions? Don't they make money based on a percentage of the order cost? Why would they not want the price to rise as much as possible?

OKCoin and Huobi do not charge fees for trading, only for deposit and/or withdrawal, and interest on leveraged trading. As I recall, the shadow book was meant to cater for clients who wanted to trade on the exchange, but did not want their large orders to affect the price against them. (I may have misunderstood, and I don't know whether that makes sense.)

Since Gemini is clearly leading this price increase, do you think the Twins are pumping this? I mean a million dollars is pocket change to them, maybe the are just buying it in small amounts each day and driving the price up. Considering how much they already hold in bitcoin it would basically be paying for itself in the long run.
A steady increase might bring in new money but they have no guarantee it would go to them and not some other exchange.

I'm talking about the value of the coins they already own. Every dollar the spend to drive up the price in general, would come back in profit to them many times over if they are only buying small amounts to drive up the price. I mean they allready own a shit ton of Bitcoin.
You might be right. In the past, Bitcoin exchanges have been known to manipulate the price a little.

If the price climbs back to $500-$600 does anyone think people that previously purchased above $500 will be afraid to hold any longer for fear they will never get their money back? I'm not sure I'd be comfortable buying in at that price anymore unless I was going to immediately use it to make a purchase.

You could say that at any point. Are people that purchased above 260 previously afraid to hold any longer? Are they comfortable buying at this price?
Yeah, but they've waited so long for the price to go back up they might not want to wait any longer. I'm being optimistic. I think the climb up is going to continue this time. It just feels different now. I just hope the climb doesn't bring a wave of sell off from those people that have been waiting for a while to recoup.

Nice... I think you're making a smart move. But for me, being someone who has just started a family with student loan debts and everything, I can't seem to make that investment. I just bought only 1 bitcoin a couple days ago, and saving up to buy another... I just hope I can save enough money to keep steadily buying bitcoins without breaking the bank.
Yeah, if you're pressed for cash you shouldn't do it. I don't have those kind of expenses anymore so I have a little more freedom. Even if the price just continues to float in the 2-300 area I'm not going to lose it all. If it shoots up to 550 I've doubled my money. No worse than any other kind of gambling I guess.

just saw 800 coins bought on bitfinex in 4 orders that werent shown in the orderbook. buys were for solid amounts, 100, 200, 200, 290... all filled at one exact price, no slippage at all...
very strange...
Yeah, I saw that too. Business transactions aren't being allowed to move the price at all. Small transactions from private individuals aren't enough to go "to the moon" as they say. When Karpeles moved the price he did it by manipulating 10's of thousands of btc at once. When are individuals ever going to do that?
For better or worse, they need to allow the currently off book transactions to move the price.

When are the next big BTC auctions? I can't wait for this crash
Gonna be lovely. A beautiful disaster. We could see a floor sub $200 again.
This is the last one for the US gov. The Australian gov has 20k something coins to sell though.
The big dagger hanging over our heads is really the 200k gox coins that need to be sold or returned to the victims. I'm sure a percentage of those people will be market selling and dusting their hands of the whole thing.
I'm sure, and maybe you are to, that you are speculating beyond any reasonable basis in reality.
It makes little to no sense to assume that once the 200k gox coins are liberated back into the bitcoin space (in other words put back on the btc market in the hands of various individuals that those individuals are going to, enmasse, decide to dump the coins, or a large majority of the coins).
Your prediction makes little to no sense, if it were to employ actual logic and a morsel of thinking.
Don't you know how bankruptcies work? The lawyers get paid FIRST. There is very little other than those coins to distribute. Creditors and claimants will get almost nothing. Those coins will be SOLD almost entirely to pay the lawyers.
The lawyers have delegated the task of finding out what happened to the disappeared Bitcoins to Deloitte Touche. That company will charge a fortune for any work it does, and after months of investigating no doubt say it can't find out where the Bitcoins went. The lawyers fees combined with Deloitte Touche's fees will eat a big hole in the available funds.
It's just Deloitte. That's pronounced "Deloitte Period". Touché left a decade ago. My wife works there in their tax accounting department.

What a retarded statement.
Hopefully you will still drop us some posts even without being "in", QA. You have the best sig campaign on the forum.
Thanks, I wish more people would adopt my signature. For the four plus years I've been on this forum (as QA and CBH) I've listened to theymos and Co tell everyone that this is the "official" Bitcoin forum because Satoshi founded it just like he's the founder of Bitcoin. So what's the first thing people notice when they visit the official forum? A bunch of preteens making a few nickels a day advertising gambling and ponzi's. I guess that's what Bitcoin is best used for, right? Well, that's the message we're sending anyway.
As the old saying goes, if you want to change the world try cleaning your own house first.

When did you short? Did you buy back in at $320? Honestly, I think you are going to really like your decision, but I would highly suggest not shorting again because the profit you made from that short probably bought you back in with the same amount of bitcoins, maybe even less.

All the world was asleep. Only Baba Yaga sat awake, in her creaky rocking chair, scowling, gnawing on a bone...BTW, re. overpriced coffee: Bitcoiners think that the cost of a cup of coffee is (the price of coffee grounds) + (usurious profit).
The thought that (price of coffee grounds) = (insignificant, compared to the overheads) never enters the mind.
No wonder you think that trustless blockchain is going to save banks billions quantillions of $.
Yeah, there´s probably staggering overheads, making a cup of coffee is such a complex operation that you probably need extremely high paid staff.
Total revenue 19,162,700,000
Cost of revenue 7,787,500,000
Gross profit 11,375,200
"While the Costa Rica Finca Palmilera beans which went on sale at select locations recently are expensive — they come from a relatively rare cherry of the Gesha tree — the 16-ounce cup should cost just one dollar more than a regular cup of coffee, including the company’s overhead, says James Freeman, owner and CEO of Blue Bottle Coffee. (The price of Starbucks’ regular Grande coffee is $2.20 in New York.) Freeman should know: his chain also charges $7 for a similar cup of Gesha coffee. In fact, an 80% markup is standard in the coffee business on the higher-end brews, he says. Joseph Brodsky, founder and president at Ninety Plus Coffee, which supplies beans to coffee shops in 30 countries, says the new coffee only costs Starbucks an extra $1.30 per cup."
Fortunately for us bitcoin is even more addictive than caffeine.
Jesus, $7 for a plain cup of coffee! Only if it has hashish in it.

First of all we are all following China and China doesn't give F*** about christmas. Secondly this swings are heavy manipulation of whales for sure. When some individuals cash out 10 BTC on different times on western exchanges it won't move the price and China man are happy to buy your western coins. We didn't see big movements on Black Friday also. It was just going up a bit and dump what everybody where afraid after never happened.

I am a speculator just as we all are. If I had access to control a trust fund for a percentage commission, I would be a much happier speculator.
With that said, I am rooting for a massive $600 attempt and testing. The $500-$600 correction in the middle (towards the top) will be more violent than the one between $400-$500. Weak hands will show. Strong hands will be hitting like fight club.
Thanks, I guess I'll just plan my sell off on a date instead of a dollar mark. I'll buy back sometime next year and will have made a tidy little profit for Christmas spending. If it continues to rise then buying back next year won't hurt me, my profit will just be less. If the price drops next year then I'll make even more money waiting for it to go up again.

Sorry, Guys. You can have high prices or you can have high transaction fees, but you can't have both.
Just hold the price above $400 until I can get my old coins out of cold storage.
I'm outie.
Yeah, me too. I was going to try waiting till the 21st to see what the price is but if it's going to hover here I may as well buy presents now. I'm outie for Christmas. I'll be back.

You mean you disagree with DeathandTaxes on some issue, or that they scammed someone?
Unfortunately, DnT fell prey to Bitcoin Syndrome. Haven't you noticed that he's missing from the forum now?

Civil engineer: Hey, Boss. Traffic on the bridge is increasing by 50% per month. Shouldn't we widen it?
Bureaucrat: Ha! That bridge has excess capacity. If traffic gets too high, we'll just increase the tolls. Most of those schmucks don't really need to go anywhere anyway.
Civil engineer: Do we know that for sure? What if there is an evacuation or something?
Bureaucrat: That bridge was intentionally designed with low capacity to prevent invasions! Widening it would be a dangerous departure from historic bridge operations.
Civil Engineer: Aren't bridges supposed to be used to facilitate travel?
Bureaucrat: Yes, but only the right sort of travel. That's for me to decide! If traffic gets too heavy, and tolls get too expensive, the people can use buses. Too many single passenger cars anyway.
Civil engineer: Do you own a bus company?
Bureaucrat: Purely coincidental! I'm just guarding against bridgebuilder centralization.
Civil engineer: I see. No conflict of interest there. What's the name of your company anyway, Busstream?
Bureaucrat: BridgestreamTM, Smartass.

Maxwell's just a liar.
That's funny because Maxwell has never stolen Bitcoin from anyone and has dedicated years to improving the Bitcoin space by donating his time and ability to the cause. You, on the other hand, have never done anything for Bitcoin except defraud a bunch of people out of their money. Burn in hell.

If you're not getting deleted/banned, what is it you feel requires trust? I never had a post deleted there, have you?
Trust is needed only when a forum takes on the burden of censorship; only then does stuff like trust & impartiality come into play.
... Not even that, but literally everything there is anti-core, anti-blockstream.
Gets annoying/repetitive after a while.
It does, but consider how the users ended up on that forum.
People joined bitcointalk because they were interested in Bitcoin.
They joined bitco.in/forum because they were censored, or booted from, bitcointalk. Mostly due to their support of [that which must be unspoken].
Forums are businesses. They make money when they get large enough to charge for advertising and sponsorships. Would you use a totally uncensored forum owned by pirate@40, Josh Zerlan, or Mark Karpeles? Probably not because you wouldn't want to help them make any more money. It's more of a principal than a direct threat to the membership. Although, it would be possible for a forum operator to sell email address lists, passwords, contact info and make money that way. When you use a forum you need to trust the person running it unless you can register totally anonymous which I did here long ago. Sure, I used a throw away fake email to register over there but how many other people actually did that too?

This seems to be the only active thread besides the scamcoin announce threads in the alt section and even this thread is only moderately active now.

I haven’t been here for months I was just wondering if this forum is still relevant for more than con artists looking for a pigeon.

Thanks for the replies. You’re all correct I guess. Bitcoin isn’t new and exciting anymore and activity is pretty flat so no people. It just seems kind of weird.

I am just going by memory that goat winked, around July/August 2014.... implying that BTC price was about to go up. There may be a post, but I cannot even find goat's user name, so mystery upon mystery.
Jay, just before he left to start his own forum he changed his name to “El Cabron” and deleted more than half of his posts. You’re right about the wink though. As I remember, his wink started in his pirate pass-through thread and again in the BTCST thread. At the time, pirate and his merry band of shitheads (which included goat) were essentially controlling the price. After that, he would do it occasionally when he had some kind of insider info.

Wasn't the rumor that goat had like 40,000 BTC? He would not need to steal, if that were true, unless he either got the BTC through stealing or just conned peeps to believe that he had a lot of BTC (a kind of long con job).
He was the first and largest pirate pass-through operator. As far as I’m concerned he, PatrickHarnett and all the other PPT operators/BTCST criminals should be in a cell next to Trendon Shavers. He made all his coin cheating people on this forum.
This photo shows pirateat40 and all the PPT scammers meeting in Las Vegas.

Wall Street regulations to avoid market manipulation.
Who is the "we" that you talk about?
And what are all of the supposed "wall street regulations"?
Bitcoin is hardly regulated...
Of course, regulators try to make some kyc and aml requirements, and they are going to continue to try to make more and more regulations to fit round pegs in square holes, and they may even customize some regulations to bitcoin and to other cryptos and even ICOs.
So far the kyc and aml regs have to do with on and off ramping from fiat and through bank regulated exchanges... Hardly applicable to overall bitcoin claims, right? No general regulatory body covering world wide, either.
Are you trying to sugguest something more meaningful about what is going on in bitcoin and various sporadic regs than making vague references to an ongoing desire of various governments (and likely traditional financial institutions) to regulate that some people might have?
But that would hardly qualify as a "we" would it? Neither in kind of regulation nor amount of regulation. What am I missing about your seemingly vague point?
Calm down Jay, it was a joke. No need to bring out the Great Wall of china.

I don’t understand being upset over this. If you could step into a time machine and go back a few years and do it all over again wouldn’t you? I sure as hell would. Everyone that bitches about not being an early adopter gets to have their shot at it. Just buy cheap now and gloat about it in five years.

The upsetting part about it is that everyone was expecting a nice moon at the end of 2018. Not another year of sideways.
You can’t think about it like that. Think about bitcoin like she’s that really hot bitch you’ve been dating for a while. You think you’ve done everything right, it’s your birthday, she invites you to her house and you figure gettin pussy is guaranteed. What actually happens is she makes you dinner, you listen to some music and then she gives you a kiss at the door as you leave. Then, all of a sudden, as if by some sort of perverted slut magic her mother dies, she gets fired from her job, her dog has a heart attack, you get caught fucking her friend and she invites you over and strips off your pants before you get through the door.
Bitcoin and bitches - you never know what they’re gonna do. All you know is that they’re gonna make you pay for it.

The biggest catalyst that'd make BTC price skyrocket higher is simply move all your BTC to your PERSONAL bitcoin wallet (move off of Coinbase, Binance, Bitfinex, Square, Robinhood, CBOE/CME futures).
Fractional reserve, BTC lending, rehypothication is a bitch and can perpetually create no floor for prices by establishment market manipulators.
Plus if history is any indication, one these avenues will blow up and wreck the "holders" of bitcoin that really wasn't there because they failed to take such advice.
Take it off the exchanges and see what happens.

Hey QA... since I got you on the line.. I seem to recall that I was pissed off at you for a certain amount of time around December 2015 because you were bragging in the thread and proclaiming to sell a decently large stash of your BTC for christmas shopping.. something like that.. so I recall that presentation from you as being an irritating set of interactions and circumstances because it seemed to be a kind of rubbing in, and even encouraging BTC sales at an inopportune time. Like gloating.
Am I remembering correctly or was that a different year or perhaps a different forum member? Could have been 2014 or even 2016.. but for some reason I seem to recall the situation as 2015.
Jay, everything seems to irritate you, so I’m sure I irritated you. LOL

Woah!
So atleast it sounds like QA change his tune? I'm guessing?
This market is so painful btw.
No. I think that he is largely the same... which means that it is likely that his account has not been SODLed nor compromised... hahahahaha
I can still read such variations of quasi-subdued gloating in his posts that leaks out of the post seams, every once in a while.. .. at least attempting to read the overall contents and tone...
Nonetheless, I do have to say that I did appreciate some of his relatively recent efforts to screen bitcoin maximalists, and to send smerits to largely bitcoin maximalists rather than shit coin pumpers, but I think that he had given up on that angle as long as he could figure out other means of contribution.. I suppose that he could probably elaborate, if he were to conclude that such topic were worthy of any response from his highness. hahahahahhaha
You may have a point - he didn't even give me smerit for the post which he 'agreed' being underrated
I don't know if I am making the same point as you, but I thought that if a forum member is going to publicize some smerit distribution plan, that it would be good for the member to set forth some criteria, and I actually appreciated that initially the criteria that QA set forth, at least initially, was mostly a kind of bitcoin maximalism preference.
On the other hand, even though I saw a lot of members set up threads in which they could set forth smerit distribution criteria (not referring specifically to QA), I did not really consider that setting up such smerit distribution threads to be a fair method to distribute smerit or extra smerits - because I would think that such a set up seems to encourage a kind of self-promotional merit begging.. at least that was something that I considered to be a problematic dynamic, yet surely such practice of setting up such smerit distribution threads was not considered against any forum rules and surely giving smerits has a lot of subjectivity, even for merit sources.
I guess part of the point that I am attempting to make is that the subjectivity aspect of smerit distribution might cause a considerable amount of variance, including just lucky or unlucky timing.
I had high hopes for the merit system at first. I really thought it could bring back some of the people that used to be here. Or at least the same type of people. Then as I was looking at the people asking for merit or at least trying to post decently I realized this forum is for non English speaking altcoiners now. I couldn’t give a shit about altcoins. I’ve essentially given up on this ever being a bitcoin forum again.

Jay, everything seems to irritate you, so I’m sure I irritated you. LOL
You are probably reading too much into the matter becuase I don't tend to hold grudges, especially with actual humans who can deal with relatively provocative engagements and differing opinions - that do not necessarily devolve into personal attacks. I even tend to forgive those who engage in personal attacks, though I might reciprocate a bit before letting the matter go.
I did buy that boat I told you about.
O.k... so when was the boat? Was that December 2014? December 2015? December 2016? or some other date?
That could have been the incident to which I am remembering.. because I seem to recall that there were a few folks (and you might have been one of them) who were gloating over their BTC profits, and really was not a good time to be selling BTC or encouraging others to sell. It's almost like a kind of trolling - even though it might make some sense on a personal level.
Of course, if your cost basis for the BTC is really low, then you could still end up doing quite well on a personal level, even though the timing was not so great overall and even not really good timing for many others who might be considering what to do regarding their own BTC allocation(s)/investment.
It’s beautiful BTW. I took it out on Tahoe in August for a week. I looks like I’m gonna get back all my btc too if the current trend continues.
I have my doubts about how much anyone could really count on further downward BTC movement from here, but of course, the odds for downward BTC movement from here seems to be greater than it was a few weeks ago.. Yet, on the other hand, the level of our current BTC price correction, might also leave a BTC price situation that is just too oversold.. and there could end up being a decently sized upwards movement from here that causes the bottom to already be in... and no more down is really feasible.. even though it appears that down is coming? It seems that we will see something in the coming week, especially with a decent amount of trade volume, it is usually more difficult for the price to stay in the same spot, but you never know.
I agree with that, you’re pretty well balanced and debate well. I’m just too lazy to read everything you post. As far as talking about things that you buy with BTC that’s a great motivator for people to get into bitcoin. If you can’t use your bitcoin to buy something nice what are we doing with it? Reminds me of an old American cartoon called Scrooge McDuck? Only ever did was sit around and count his money, he wouldn’t spend it. What kind of stupid shit is that.
I hope you’re right and it doesn’t drop anymore. I’m perfectly fine with buying right now and selling at $20,000. I don’t want a Lamborghini but a nice big house on Tahoe would be OK.
Edit: HaHa I was doing what I accused Jay of doing and driving and using text to speech so I had to edit.

Who is MnW?
DeathandTaxes' scam thoroughly disappointed me. He was such an insightful guy, one of the smartest and most knowledgeable posters around imho. I thought he came across as a standup guy, but clearly my judgement of him was very flawed.
Matthew N Wright - made a bet with half of the forum for a shitload of money because he was duped by Trendon Shavers into causing a distraction from the fact his Ponzi was about to fail. He may have been paid to do it but we’ll never know for sure. He wasn’t banned for that but because he constantly kept calling theymos out over various shit.
DeathandTaxes was the real mystery. Highly respected knowledgeable member that decided he didn’t want to be here anymore so he ripped people off and left. Your judgment of him wasn’t wrong. He was a standup guy for a long time - until he wasn’t. That’s why “trust” systems don’t work. It’s very possible to build up trust for a couple of years, get a bunch of deals in place and run with the money.

Same with Tradefortress, made a big deal over calling out scammers and trying very hard at building up trust with people.
He started an investment site, where people could invest in Bitcoin startups, but then he did a runner with 3.5K coins.

Sure, of course, that happens too. I bet if you removed just the transactions where pools are sending coin to miners the mumber would drop substantially. Exchanges also transfer coins around constantly as do day traders, etc,. I think it’s wonderful that bitcoins volume has reached this level but comparing it to MasterCard or Visa just seems silly. If you compare it to the ACH/EFT system for transferring money worldwide it’s not even close. There are over 6 billion ACH payments for just paycheck direct deposits.

It's called despair. I'd suggest you give it a try some time, but I don't really recommend it. It isn't for the faint of heart.
Why despair over the exchange rate of bitcoin? You don’t lose money until you sell. I guess you should be upset if you have your last dollar invested in btc but you shouldn’t have done that since everyone involved in bitcoin from Gavin Andresen to the janitor at MtGox has been warning against that for 9 years.

I got a sad story for you. My wife was constantly bitching back when I was mining because I turned my garage into a mining room with noisy box fans and shit. She had to go in there to do laundry and always bitched every time she washed clothes.
She needed a new vacuum. I thought I would do something to make her appreciate the bitcoin mining so I went to spendbitcoins and bought an amazon card. I sat her down at my computer with me, had her watch as I traded the bitcoins for the amazon card. Let her go to amazon and choose the vacuum she wanted. We spent 7 btc for it.
One of her favorite jokes now is to tell people about the $140,000 eureka vacuum we used to own. FML

if we always think like that?
my friend and his brother lived every day of there
BTC's every time they ordered food or whatever payed with
BTC directly...., they also always joke about the very expensive durums,pizza's etc
but i guess we all have some VERY expensive shit cause of
BTC The sad part is, I tried to give her something to keep her from bitching about bitcoin only to give her something new to bitch about.

I got a sad story for you.
There used to be this company, Butterfly Labs, they were going to come out with the first ASIC miner and make GPUs obsolete...
I gave them my money for a couple of foot warmers. The day I got them, I had to unplug the Christmas tree lights because a breaker popped when they started up and then the same night one of the PSU's cooked itself while I was at work which woke my wife up with that terrible ozonated burning plastic smell. The next morning I set them up on the kitchen counter where we had a 20A service using an old computer PSU and the paper-clip trick so I could free up the circuit for the Christmas lights. By this time, she was a little upset with my new hobby but she tolerated it because she loves me
I only got one, I was working out of state when it arrived. My lady got it set up, configured and on the pool within 4 hours after it hit the doorstep. We made the USD back finally...the BTC, not so much...
I got mine in early November 2013 and to add insult to injury, the (goods and services) tax came to more than the value of the Bitcoin I could mine with it over its lifetime (at the time it arrived) but I paid it anyway because I knew there would be no refund. I mined until the price of electricity was more than the value of Bitcoin being mined and sold the pair and the PSU to some local kid for $300. If memory serves, I mined just over 1 Bitcoin with the pair but had I spent the money directly on Bitcoin at the time of purchase, I could have had ~60 coins plus another 2 for the taxes and I don't know how many for the 24/7 @ 600W electricity costs - oh yeah and the stories that nobody is interested in.
Now that’s a sad story. I’m so happy I decided not to mine with ASIC miners. When gpu’s we’re dead for mining I stopped mining. I was even able to sell all of my old mining equipment and get about half of the money back.

Too much negativity in this thread for me and I’m a huge pessimist.
In order to take that price drop seriously, you have to think of the major players secured by Bitcoin over the last year, including Dish Network, Dell Computers, PayPal, Expedia.com, Bloomberg LP and others. Are those not epic votes of confidence? They are not in Bitcoin for the long-term? You have to think that those mainstream players are fairweather friends that would run from Bitcoin based on its price versus the dollar. That Bitcoin has not proven it’s inherent value by attracting these major players as business partners. In other words, you have to be the type of person that looks for every cloud in the sky to not see that Bitcoin is here for the long-term...
In closing, no one said Bitcoin hitting the mainstream would be smooth or easy. Bitcoin is going through some growing pains. But I needn’t go through history to show you how so many of today’s staples have gone through bumps in the road only to come clean out on the other side, stronger than ever. There is too much money invested, too much technology available, too many built-in advantages, and too much corporate and global interest to stop Bitcoin at this point. The Network Effect. Bitcoin must go through this awkward stage, like a pubescent teenager who has outgrown his clothes from last year, before it can mature and become what you expect it to be. Last year, it went from Kid Currency to grown adult, married with children, with no stops in between. Then the market corrected it. And now, the Dollar is having it’s day in the sun. And here we are. This too shall pass.

Well, with btc at 2K Van Ecks ETF would be only $50K/share.
also, i think at bakkt the minimal purchase is 10 btc equivalent, so $20K.
Not liquid enough for me and requires a level of trust. A nice cold wallet stuffed with coin will do the trick.

This is my plan actually, well, with wife's permission.
We'll empty our bank accounts again to change it to Btc. Live off with our paychecks like we used to.
Planning to snatch 2-3k btc off manipulators.
A bit too risky of a move to me, Never get the wife in a position to fucking hate and resent you if shit goes sour. Too little to gain for risk and reward.

I hear you, but there is a question of using IRA funds.
I can use some currently unneeded IRA funds (maybe in 5%-10% area) to buy into ETF and/or Bakkt (that would be settled daily into physical btc).
I don't want to buy any more stocks or bonds, lol.
It sounds like you have tax concerns. That would be a good reason to do it. I’ve just been around here so fucking long that I have absolutely no trust in any one that runs any business even remotely connected with bitcoin. Too much water under the bridge dude.

Only if it has to be an actual human. Which may be the case for you and fair enough if so. But as a blanket statement it's the most needlessly convoluted way of going about it.

You talk about holding and selling as if they were all-or-nothing choices.
You can sell small amounts as necessary and still be holding. That's exactly what I did this month. I was committed to my dental surgery so I had no choice but to sell, even though the price was down. Luckily it was only a small amount of my stash.
I realize I hold more coins than you did but it's a matter of scale. Even if you only have half a coin, you can sell $100 worth to eat for more than half a week and still have most of your half coin left.
I know you like a little drama but money is money and Bitcoin dips are not the time to sell.

People need to get their coins the fk off of Coinbase. I'm sure that they are fractional reserve, and doing OTC for whales will probably make it much worse. Plebs will be 'leasing' what they think are their coins from the market makers.
In a run to sell in a crash, who do you think will get their orders filled first: Whales or the plebs?

Sorry but the rapist stole it and modified it from Carol Burnett’s old comedy routine.
Carol Burnett described what labor pains feel like, she said, ‘Take your bottom lip. And pull it over your head.'”
This is from Bill Cosby’s 1970’s stand-up bit on “natural childbirth” (video after jump) in which he riffs on the Lamaze classes of yore: “The second pain hit, my wife said, [Incomprehensible Words] and STOOD UP in the stirrups, grabbed my bottom lip and said, ‘I want morphine! … ”

No hypothesis, just curious if anyone believed any of it. Do you think Michael Marquardt is still thermos? Do you ever see a new forum appearing after all these years?

Where's that part? I don't know if it is all bullshit, there's a lot of words there and very little meat.
I don’t think you read down far enough. People start to post links and talk about different shit further down. Most of it does look like drama crap but there’s enough realistic shit to make me curious.
Tried again. I am really not sure what you are referring to. There's a multitude of points being discussed in that thread. Maybe I am a bit dense today. What is your hypothesis?
No hypothesis, just curious if anyone believed any of it. Do you think Michael Marquardt is still thermos? Do you ever see a new forum appearing after all these years? What would the final dollar value of the forum be, $20 million, $40 million? That’s some pretty expensive forum software considering SMF is free.
Edit: waiting to see how long it takes for this post to be deleted.
I am not even completely sure if Theymos was ever Michael Marquardt. Theymos could have always been more than one person, or could have been different persons in different periods. Maybe C0bra is Theymos and Theymos is C0bra, or maybe they are the same person. I think c0bra is trolling the poor Bcash bastards from the very beginning, but this is unrelated....
No, I don't think a new forum is happening anytime soon. I don't even see the need. This one is fine. Some features should be added asap though: Like 2FA and a safe, secure, automated procedure for account recovery.
I can't speculate on the price of some vaporware nor I do have any idea what price should be applied to the original Bitcoins without knowing how many there still are or when they were sold.
That’s a good point. Maybe theymos was always the same person but who knows who that person really is? It could even be a rotating job held by many different people. I just don’t understand, why hype a new forum if it was never going to happen? That makes no sense to me. The 6000 btc in donations were given to the forum and rightly belong to the person or people that own the forum. There’s no need to make shit up to cover it.

^ My theory is that there was a bonafide intention to create that new forum software but the development never reached a satisfactory result. Probably many of those initial 6000BTC (is this a completely confirmed exact amount btw?) were spent along the path at prices WAY lower than todays.
IIRC there was also a good chunk that got "lost" when one of the custodians died.
In other words: Shit happens.
Why the feeling that a new forum software was needed is something I don't know as it is a subject I have never been really interested in.
Anyways, at this point I am completely speculating with no base tbh.
The 6000 btc is a pretty solid number that can be confirmed from multiple sources. Even if you just go by the old list of doners it’s in the 3000 range with another 3000 coming from advertisers. Parapan was only holding 200 btc when he “died”. You’re right shit does happen. TBH I don’t really care about the forum software anymore either. There are too many other sources of bitcoin info now and this forum (with the exception of this thread) is nothing more than an altcoin bounty advertising medium. Speculation is fun sometimes though. Isn’t that what everyone is doing here, speculating? LOL

You’ve probably all seen this already but I thought I would share it anyway.
https://finance.yahoo.com/news/crypto-exchange-bithumb-may-temporarily-011341290.htmlThe bitcoin price touched a fresh yearly low this morning, leaving traders and investors scrambling for answers as the crypto market searches for a bottom. While there are numerous pressures that have weighed on bitcoin as it has taken step after step away from last year’s all-time high, research from CryptoCompare suggests that South Korean cryptocurrency exchange Bithumb may have contributed to the recent sell-off — at least indirectly.

Hey all, any of you guys know what Bruno’s alt is now? He changes accounts like most people change socks. I need to sent him a pm and can’t seem to find an alt more current than April 2019.

Well, I know he's been out of the action for a while due to real life things I'm not sure I should mention, but your best bet is to PM his
Phinnaeus Gage account, as that's the one he uses most often.
He can also be reached on Telegram: @BrunoKucinskas
I thought he lost control of the Phinnaeus Gage acct long ago and went to Gleb. I’ll try Telegram. Thx

I’m doing a little research project just for fun (and boredom). I’m looking into the current situation and location of historical bitcoin thieves. Can any of you tell me what happened to Erik Voorhees (feedzbirds, SEC criminal that ran to Panama)? Also I can’t remember the name of the scammer that ran the weekly bitcoin show that was crying on the video about being ripped off. It was around the time of the MyBitcoin scam. He introduced bitcoin to some restaurant in New York.
Thanks for the help.

The reason bitcoiners can’t catch Coronavirus:
They have nowhere to go, no one wants to hang with them and all their friends are bots.

Other than the people in this thread that are here to bullshit about everything and anything, does anyone on this forum still support bitcoin? The top sections are all altcoin shit. Oh, and whatever happened to the great new forum they were making to replace this Simple Machines freeware crap?

Many of the more smarties of the form do not hang out in the various altcoin discussion sections.
There is plenty of bitcoin talk in this here particular thread, and even references, from time to time, to other threads in the forum that might have some good bitcoin-based discussions.
So, yeah, accordingly, we have had a pretty strong tendency in this here particular thread to say "fuck you" to attempts at alt coin discussions in this thread, and to frequently nip it in the budd when it happens, so I am having some difficulties understanding what problem, exactly, you are perceiving there to be with the forum, as long as you choose the forum threads in which you participate.
Of course, I will concede that in recent times this thread has a lot of corona virus discussions, but no one is pumping corona virus, so there are a large number of attempts to bring it back to bitcoin, from time to time, and even link the corona virus discussions to bitcoin.
Jay, I don’t understand why people can’t see, now more than ever, that bitcoin is the perfect replacement for every other type of money. These altcoin shitheads that have literally taken over our forum are deluding and polluting the concept of cryptocurrency. I remember how it all started, a bunch of spoiled children that wanted to be first and reap the benefits of early mining came up with these variants that do nothing but distract the public attention away from bitcoin. Bitcoin is the perfect pandemic money. You don’t have to meet face-to-face. You don’t have to hand something to someone. It’s more reliable than a ACH/EFT for long distance value transfer. It’s transparent, meaning that governments can’t hide what their spending the money on (like buying or refusing to buy respirators). The only reason I can see for continuing to allow altcoins to dominate this forum is if this forum is nothing but a for-profit entity. Speaking of “for profit” whatever happened to that new fucking expensive forum we were supposed to get?

The answer for me, is surprisingly simple. TV.

Okay. How about freedom of speech/ideas also?
Careful, I'm not supporting any alts here. 99% are scam.
Speaking of “for profit” whatever happened to that new fucking expensive forum we were supposed to get?
Got me there, haven't done my homework obviously.
I’m all for freedom of speech. They’re free to go anywhere else on the inter-webs and make a forum dedicated to just shit coins. They don’t need to be here benefiting from the traffic of the oldest bitcoin forum in existence. The only way I can see this continuing is if the only reason for this forum is profit. Then we literally don’t care what they promote as long as it makes the forum money.
