Unfortunately this is wrong.

Bitstamp is now Bearstamp because of this:

Common, let's get over 1000 and end this madness , and start the 10 000 /btc madness

Follow a system or you will be foolished by your brain, remember that the majority loses.

What? Now Stamp is above Gox? Stamp does seem to be the most stable one out there

Bitstamp keeps our hands strong, they're just looking out for us.

It's going down. Time to buy cheap coins. Good for all who sold @ top. Bad for the fanatic bulls.
Turning to bear isn't allways bad.

You don't know how bad this is going to get. Double digits by next week.

I want to say sorry to the suckers that got scared by my wall....

I did warn the noobs last night, didnt i?

for mBTC  

would dumping at 1000 even work....I hear this last time people tried to dump at 900 all it did was lock up and no one was able to sell on www.bitstamp.net for a bit prob www.mtgox.com as well...quite the racket if you buy and it goes high you can't sell at that price due to the bottleneck and logjam

advice on how to get around this (prob by selling sooner before the mad rush ...assuming you can even time that)

anyway advice for the next time everyone tries to go thru the *sell* door at the same time and gets jam'd up

Searing

- I only daytrade during bear markets. I don't see how I can increase my BTC in a bull market, and increasing my BTC is the only purpose of daytrading for me.

I feel sorry for the bears who are now stuck with Goxdollars

Haha you bought back didn't you. In 2 pages, you change from bear to bull .

30 is going to put you in the master race in about 3 years

Bitstamp's on it's way to a new ATH, whereas Gox is still battling around the 750 mark... good time to transfer from Gox to Stamp?

I've just discovered a new scheme to get rich quickly. Just listen to rpietila advices and then do opposite as he says.

Choo choo or stupid 

Gox just dipped under Stamp, BTCe and China at the same time.

Odd.

fixed that for you. we fell off the moon and back into earth's orbit, and didn't quite like it there  

A hero member has only 2 BTC? Interesting. Most likely you mean you have only 2 BTC in the exchange?

all the TA believers will be caught with their pants down. Or rather fiat in hand

Just imagine how expensive bitcoin would be if it also had a cute mascot.

Enjoy the latest volume of fake market data from China! Surely this could not happen again.

http://www.coindesk.com/chinese-bitcoin-exchange-okcoin-accused-faking-trading-data/

Is there news from china? those guys are buying like crazy

Saw this post before the gox and stamp rise... Why didn't I trade?!

Ugh.  I believe I sold my part at the right moment, but we shall see if China ends up caring about a workaround or not.  LTC went apesh*t while BTC just casually peeked its head up, not sure if we'll be sticking around or drifting back for the remainder of the year.

The mix of 10 inch coke lines and Bugatti catalogues is doing its job it seems 

800 tomorrow? 

...
Only hodling doesn't help.
...

Store of value...

Just another trap, 300$ is the fair price. China is out, bitcoin is finished.

10% bitcoin or 10% fiat?

How do you know how much Fiat is on Gox?

So much for the bears

Did I miss something?
It sounds like we hit an ATH. Its still below 600 Euro ... cheap cheap . BUY MOOOOAR.

The hodlers haven't been truly tested yet, the big test will come in January.

Hehe, I was thinking more of extremely low prices.. when the PBOC shows its true colors many will panic sell again.

lol @ China being 'played out'. The current largest BTC exchange by volume is Chinese for fuck's sake.

Even if it is artificial, Western exchanges are following huobi like a bunch of sheep.

I actually cashed out at 1k, so to me these prices are still cheap. But I find the whole reasoning behind this recent rise to be utterly retarded.

no one knew he probably bought at 800 and sold then next day at 1000, now he calls himself a crypto currency trader

Almost everyone here has purchased drugs with their bitcoins at one point in time.

tomorrow i'm buying 8k worth of bitcoins. ive gone weak in the knees  

"choo choo" is the sound you hear when you miss the entry point and you're running behind a train, 8 thousand dollars in your hand.

Time to change that poll , going below x?
Common , we're heading to the moon!!!

Anyone thinking we might hit 1000 again this year?

isnt you who started it??! 

so i guess im on drugs uhh.. or not?! whatever..

So true, especially the ATH signs at bitcoinity, such a rush  

okay so could anyone give me some 'serious' insight cuz I just cant make a decision:

got couple $Ks now but I need to go travel so i wont have internet for 2days... should i buy back in now or not??

gaaaaddd im lost :/

the market doesn't move for no reason

why did we go up 200,000% in 2 years?

or maybe the better question why didn't we go 300,000% in 2 years

market can't go back up over 1000$ without a damn good reason.

and if it can't go up it will go down..

What all this noise in here? Why isn't every single post. "Wow thanks China. We better keep an eye on China as they are 100% responsible for this action".

Past 2 weeks I was bearish, but now I'm bullish. 

And about their government and the shady voucher thing.

In both Mar-Apr and Nov, the time period from busting the previous ATH to making the new was less than a month. The ATH from 2011 was current for 19 months and April was 7 months. So the refillings tend to take much longer than the choochoos.

There was one also yesterday , but I don't know what happened to it , I went to sleep.
Anybody knows ?

You and Falsoraj

The fifth growth spurt .

Let's start using growth spurt, it's more accurate then "bubble".

I won't cry even if Loaded dumps all of his BTC .
I'm cold as Ice.

bidwall @ 800 got pulled

Bid-wall re-placed to $795. I've witnessed this behavior in a falling alt-coin...

i was gana buy 1000's but i don't have a time machine

congrats again! its your lucky day

Hm, no.

He claimed it makes very little sense to "buy above 400". That only makes sense if there is a substantial *trend* aiming for sub-400 coins.

Take the silk road bust flash crash: price dipped drastically, but that didn't really make a dent in the short term average valuation. In fact, it was the beginning of a huge uptrend (obviously also influenced by China).

Anyway, brief dips to a certain level are unimportant except for a few lucky traders who buy (or the unlucky ones who sell at the bottom).

But talking about "prices that don't make sense" isn't about quick crashes that recover almost immediately, but trends with some amount of staying power.

And, as I said, I see little evidence for a trend that takes us to sub 400 and makes us stay there. Doesn't mean it can't happen, but the evidence so far points towards a range between 500 and 1000 for the near future (dips nonwithstanding)

Thanks, but I actually made a lot of bad calls really, and often remain rather vague. One thing is different though: I try to keep some amount skepticism about my own predictions intact. Rpietla on the other hand doesn't seem to know word "self doubt"... Meh. I should really stop paying him any attention, it's just not worth it.

come on guys.... this way it isn't fun reading on here.....

+1

its warrrrr  

edit @Parazyd i did the exact opposite when u told me to buy 2 days ago at around 240$ on stamp...  

How much hashing power does Namecoin have? I'm guessing that even though it is "free" after setting it up, few miners do it. Figures on the other ones with merged mining (SHA256) would be interesting too.

Also, I don't know for sure what you are trying to tell me anymore. I guess you are saying that merged mining can allow coins of the same hashing algorithm to coexist?

good morning, I was reading the last few pages, I've got the impression that something was happening last night, I went to check the price chart and cant see any major drop !!!

so are bears still talking about a dream or there is an actual fact will be leading the drop ?  the price seems to me somehow stable....

for the long term holders, I honestly don't think that the price will go 100x like it went this year, but 2-5x seems reasonable and achievable to me... 

 

Bitstamp is moving

so gifs work again

ChartBuddy is the only neutral practical guy in here. Never blindy permabull or permabear.

He just tells it like it is. I like him. I wish he could be friends with the other exchanges. 

I feel like I'm in a foxhole watching the front line.  Where's that Sunday panic volume to get back in for the week?  Every exchange is snoozing.  Who will fire first?

Choo choo january!

btw is sell and buy if executed price new on bitstamp? Don't think I've seen it before 

Who pays for porn anyway ?

Looks like a crash to 0. It's all over now

good morning guys, it seems like we finally will jump over that $1000 this week... (Gox)

lawyers in hookers - that requires delicate handling

Bitstamp is becoming new gox. Another exchange will die soon.

fear becomes greed

I'm Truly amazed by the buying pressure on stamp.

Expected to wake up to 500$ coins, were almost hitting 600 now.

bitcoin users right now
http://youtu.be/btPJPFnesV4

Regarding volume, I tried to register for Bitstamp a few months ago, and it asked me for a scan of my passport and social security card.

That's not just a no, it's a "Fuck No".

That with the rumored difficulty of withdrawing, Bitstamp's KYC procedure has effectively killed off its volume.

Damn it feels so much better to wake up in uptrends then downtrends

The whole world is in bubble and no one knows when and if things will collapse. Many well-known people (banking, hedge funds) are saying China will collapse, USA will collapse, Japan will collapse, EU will collapse, stock market will collapse, etc., but so far they are 100% wrong for many years since financial crisis and people listening to them are losing money not participating in the markets!

Some are even saying BTC has no future and is doomed to fail, but 100x gain in one year shows you how no one has a clue what's going on. I am just saying markets are irrational and things can go on like this for years and years.

What are you suggesting? Fake volume?

I need my dose of the bear fud, anyone?

Yes. It's actually smaller than Belgium. Really.

Someone just painted the tape on Bitstamp.

If everyone is hodling meaning low volume price increases, what happens when everyone decides to get off the ride?

Yees! , because imagine you come here to laugh or learn something (once this forum was like this!) and then you read post from TERA, from which you wanna just go out, buy a gun and directly shoot youself   i just don't like negative people...

Thank you, all in.

BTC-e lagging way behind as always.

Without questions?

Is there any option for Euro traders who don't want to exposed to dollars besides Kraken? Kraken has such low volume... I want to buy 5000 euro in bitcoin but I also want to move in and out of positions easily without the huge slippage that Kraken has when you're trading "big" amounts. If I used Bitstamp I would be able to do this... But I don't like being exposed to the dollar/euro risk.

If everybody is going to avoid Kraken because of the low volume, well..., it will never get any higher....
So just drag all your money over to Bitstamp and let them call the shots.

I think it's cash they are more edgy about.

Bitcoins in and out has never been an issue.

LTC is a scam ?

LTC is for people riding old Bicycles. Dont.

BTC is for people riding nice cars. Do.

Today's my birthday--and BTC passing the threshold needed for me to make a profit again after a few months ($638.25/BTC) is a fantastic birthday present!

if you dont like it GTFO... as simple as that.... it is not Risto thread to censor posts... it is Adam's thread and we speak our minds here ( as long as it is about trading)

So yea, what will happen tommorow?

You know you want 666 as much as the rest of us.  

Break the walls down!

been lurking since January, nice to see mood in here changing over past few weeks.  Bought back in at 460 but just got more fiat, any opinions on where to target buying again?

omg i missed this soo much

we should do this ever sunday

I LOVE YOU GUYS


who need a beer?

post your BTC address

Man I love bitcoin

Someone is defending that 4000 as their lives are depending on it. 3 times went below for a minute just for 300-400 walls to appear above. And whenever walls get thin they get refilled. Looks pretty bullish that part.

Drop what now?

Who told you that Morpheus?

You called ?

Not too rich but certainly the second part ...Lolz

bitstamp has an incredible volume :O

Dear Bitstamp clients,

To reassure clients, Bitstamp regularly performs a procedure to prove its BTC reserves.

On May 24th, 2014, Mike Hearn of Vinumeris GmbH, bitcoin core developer and prominent member of bitcoin community observed Bitstamps proof of reserves procedure. Reserves were proven by conducting a Bitcoin send-to-self transfer.

Details of the procedure are provided in the PDF linked here:
https://www.bitstamp.net/s/documents/Bitstamp_proof_of_reserves_statement.pdf

In summary, Bitstamp held 183,497 BTC its cold wallet fully covering both the clients funds held at Bitstamp and the clients funds on the Ripple network.

Additionally, a financial statement audit is in progress.

Best regards,
Bitstamp team

GOOD MORNING!! RISE AND SHINE!

+0.95 BTC

life goes on..

Hmm, very flat looking, especially the logo on the coffee mug. They're not taking pre-orders by any chance?

They look rly cool but they are way to expensive i would make my own .
Btw how much is the shipping ?

I almost hate to say this; however, I cannot resist.

If someone who looks like this guy in this picture has a lot of money, then he needs to put that money to work for his own benefit, health wise.  I am NOT talking about the genetic factors that cannot be changed, and I am sorry if there are unknown genetic factors present.

What I am suggesting is that this person, seemingly admittedly Rpietila, is looking too sickly for a 34 year old in the 21st century.  These days we have longer longevities, but this picture looks like a person who is nearly on his death bed - pale and a kind of skinny fat.

Rpietila, I make this suggestion to you without hate and with your best interest in mind - b/c I would like you to be around in 1 year or 10 years or more, if possible. 

I would prescribe changing some of the health factors that are within your control, and you have additional control over several lifestyle matters b/c you are supposedly well off in the money department (you do NOT have to work, if you do NOT want to).   

Most important is diet.  You need to make sure that you are getting sufficient quantities of meat and fat in your diet.  Red meat, fatty fish would be good to make sure as staples.   Some green vegetables would be good too.  Cut out foods with added sugars, and especially a large number of processed foods, including those with fillers such as wheat, corn and soy.  Try to limit your carbs to less than 35% of your diet.  Actually less than 20% would be o.k. too, but up to 35% is acceptable so long as those carbs are mostly whole foods, and are not dominated by processed foods and sugars.

2nd :  Sleep.  Most people need at least 6 hours per day, but 6-9 hours may be o.k.  More than 9 hours may NOT be good.

3rd:  Exercise.  Of course this can vary based on your total activities, but from the look of the picture, you have NOT been getting too much exercise in recent years.  At minimum you should be getting 2 hours per week over 3 days.  I would recommend more however, such as 4-5 hours of exercise per week.   You do NOT want to over do exercise, b/c you need to control inflammation, especially if you are NOT used to exercise.    Also, most people need to space out their exercise in order to build in rest and recuperation times, especially as we get older. You can combine resistance training such as weights with cardio-vascular.  But since it looks like you may NOT exercise too much, you may want to warm up 5-10 minutes of cardiovascular before partaking in resistance training.  Usually, it is better to save the bulk of the cardio-vascular for the end of your work-out rather than the beginning b/c you do NOT want to wear yourself out with cardio-vascular when it appears that you may need some muscle building.

Yup, that's my problem. Maybe it's because we're newbies?

It's better to do what you like and be dead before going senile, then wetting yourself while you're waiting to die.

No No, that's the old saying, as of now it's "to da gyyym"

You gotta love bitcoin, solves banking problems and you get healthcare advise, all while making money.

looks like we are back on track.

more free beer at 800

I think it's cryptocrypt.org

This is gonna be big.

Learn to appreciate just hanging around a price range.

My money is almost at the exchange. Expect some fireworks soon.

Good morning all !

+0.51 bitcoin

sorted...

no its not.

And why wouldn't they have done so already?

I'm working on phase 2.

All part of the plan. Awe and shock. Just wait.

Stamp just went down for me.

Can anyone having trouble do a traceroute?

Stopping at your router??

Don't blow our cover! Come on!!

lift off in 3 hours.

that sounds like sexual harassment.

  YOU KNOW THIS MANG

Could somebody give me the link of the chart which shows that Metcalfe law is verified in Bitcoin? It is to convince someone to invest in Bitcoin 
I can't find it.

If BTCChina is dead then why the volume is quite high (~100BTC/hour) there?

Why?  It seems obvious enough.

I think 650 is the new $450. Maybe we are hovering around that for another 4 weeks and than go to $850. I am honest. I'd be ok with this

when you guys cash out big bucks.. do ye pay the capital gains or what? im wonderin how to get around that lol

What kind of bank account is that?
I am pretty sure in my country, France, there is no such thing.

Some big market buys on Stamps... Price unaffected

offshore account

There is not. What you would need would be a genuine tax haven.
And even then there's the records at bitstamp or wherever your data resides.

Why not pay the taxes?

or not.

http://video.cnbc.com/gallery/?video=3000281677

Shit

Just

Got

REAL

do you have record of what you paid for your btc? I don't..

wow, you are so naive to think that your account in Croatia is invisible to the authorities and croatian central bank.

The brilliant thing about being a government is you get to change the law - don't rely on your "rights" to protect you if it comes to asset seizure.  Ask a Cypriot.

I don't know, I'm starting to feel kind of bearish. The volume in this thread is pretty dismal right now, and while bots can inject some liquidity, there's only so much they can do if the fundamentals aren't there. Maybe we've reached saturation and it's all downhill from here.

On a "serious" note, though - does anyone have a way to get the growth rate for this thread? that would be an interesting chart...

"What are the main drivers of the Bitcoin price?
Evidence from wavelet coherence analysis"

=> http://arxiv.org/pdf/1406.0268v1.pdf

Why all the positive fud ? we are stabilizing at 650 nothing to see here.

Sorry to insist, but am I the only one to find this significant ?

Looks like Huobi is leading this rally?

We're about to find out if this 1,200 BTC wall is real on Stamps

Who knows... maybe the Chinese will buy that wall for us.

Stamp! haha! stamp doesn't want to go up  

doesn't matter who creates them, if you're a bitcoin adopter and not a speculator its the best thing it can happen as we are getting price stability over an extended period of time, its wonderful news for us who want this technology for its properties not for speculation. Go walls go go!

Sorry - but Bitcoin doesn't give a shit

And huge growth will bring more money to market.  Stability is a fair way off with such a relatively small market cap.

leave the jorge bot alone ..it only results in more jorgism....

Its called a SQUEEEZE ...when the MACD travel within the kneltner channels ...indicate that there will be a break up or break down ..

The longer it goes on the more energy is being built up ..think a steam engine .....

I think we all know which way it is going to go ...is a very bullish sign ..i.e the calm b4 the storm

So many pplz go ...so quiet is something wrong ..sorry it something right

I think we will hit stability with 5-10k per btc ..as it wil mean we have found our place in teh IRL world

real money will pour in and remove teh ability of lone operators to fuck with us as they have in teh past

Currently 1 million or 200k leveraged can move the market ....this is totally insane compared to and DOW or Forex stock,currency

We need a 10x market cap to bring the stability that teh mainstream mercantile world needs & craves

It might be a while more for consolidation. Or we could move up a bit more (~$800) and consolidate there.

The 183,000 figure that transferred into the second address was the Bitstamp audit I presume.

http://www.coindesk.com/facebook-approves-first-cryptocurrency-tipping-apps/

Facebook joined the game this morning

Damn right! Apple (half-assed approval), eBay (soon^TM), Facebook (today), the heck, what else do we need for this to go north at the speed of light?

What is that wall guy trying to do?

Just got home.. Somebody eat that whall! I'll do it, someone just lend me some cash

what if I told you I am the US, and I am not sleeping

half a wall's worth?

You really missed it?  We spiked up to $3368 for about 10 minutes.  But the market quickly returned.  Those of us with limit sell order at the $3k range really made out though.

up.soon

Stay strong brother, stay strong for mother.

You don't know dick about btc you fool.
The day before the 'big' pump from 480-now was only 6m volume. I even maid a topic about it 'wow very sad volume) THe day after boom.

Cool new feature on bitcoinwisdom to set a alarm.

Bitcoin = The Ultimate Get Rich Quick Scheme.  

What do you mean? Price is still near the 3month ATH

Not that quick and it hard to hodl.  Think about it, the people who bought coins for very cheap have some major balls to hold for this long.  Many people sold when it went to 100 or even when they made a thousand bucks. When at any point it can go to 0.  If you hold in this crazy market, you DESERVE the reward.

Unfortunately it looks like he's pushing it sideways....

I think the problems will fix it self and miners move to another pool. No one wants a 51% attack.

huobi noticed their1w macd turning red... So they pumped it up  

Sideways is making it very hard to avoid work these days.

Good thing circle is useless anyway, but i really dislike any kind of company that limits their service to the USA. Especially internet companies which have no reason to exclude the rest of the world.
