I think BTCGlobal.com will be the future #1 exchange. Set to open up in South America first and then globally, can't happen fast enough for me. Fuck Gox.

I would say that this is a bad thing for Mt. Gox and a good thing for Bitcoin. Mt. Gox is dying and everyone knows it. Diversifying exchanges, even if it has to come through lawsuits, is what is needed for Bitcoin to succeed.
I agree, these are just Bitcoin's growing pains.

Buy Bitcoin while you still can. The price is being be held stable by big money for the Silicon Valley conference. The price will soon explode upwards.

TBH that just does not sound right to me, unless someone is trying to prevent a drop in price. In which case, we should be concerned.
No VC in his right mind will be looking at BTC without looking at price charts, on which this week long relative stability means nothing.
Can't see anyone at the conference having a problem with rising prices
Good point. But I think this started before MtGox bad news and all the recent good news, so that they could show investors what a future stable bitcoin would look like. Even though rising prices would excite everyone, it might look like a bubble to some investors. The most attractive thing you could show big companies at this point would be a model of future stability.
Of course, these are my guesswork conclusions. We'll see what happens.

Artificially manipulated "stable" market? Investors would spot it, and it's the last thing they would want. I don't think anyone will seriously waste their money doing this.
I think it would be waaaaay worth it. Even if the investors could spot it, it wouldn't matter, they would understand the need to present a professional looking product. A conglomeration of big money could hold the market steady, make Bitcoin look professional, and then make billions by letting the reigns go and watch all the corporate panic buying ensue.
I mean c'mon, why throw a huge conference in the middle of Silicon Valey with the risk of the price
absolutley tanking in the middle of your presentation. Everybody looking at their cellphones...No way they would take that risk. Very worth the money.
Has the recent price stability felt natural to anybody? I don't think so, not with all the drama the past week. Bitcoin has reacted for more violently on less news.

C'mon, it's just an impasse between buyers and sellers, most of the time with low volume. There is more than one exchange and people all around the world simultaneously either investing or getting cold feet.
True, true. I just doubt it, market feels too artificial right now. Agree to disagree then.

I thought the same thing at first too, bobdude. But the piece that didn't fit was
the remarkable lack of volume or volatility after Gox came back up.
That's what evolved my thinking to a 'perfect storm' scenario:
-We're finally concluding the price discovery following the $266-to-50 crash
-Rather than resuming an upward rally or beginning a downtrend, we entered a trading range. The spring coils tighter.
-Potential for good news is on the horizon - no one wants to sell.
-While information is sparse, the risk of Gox going away becomes a reality. Then a several hour likely orchestrated DDoS.
...and nothing happens. Big money cannot buy silence. The market - each and every investor, just failed to act - buy or sell, when Gox came back online.
That's what led me to my conclusions here
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=181037.20 (Page 2, 6th post down).
The short version - I think it's going up
Guess we'll find out soon enough!
I'm reading your posts right now...
Wanted to respond real quick to this
But the piece that didn't fit was the remarkable lack of volume or volatility after Gox came back up.
Could it be a egg/chick argument? Couldn't artificial stability result in lack of volume?
I mean one thing that keeps me from selling in spite of bad news is when the prices seem to remain steady. Calms people, less volume.

Do the conspiracy theorists still have money? With minds as emotional as that I can't imagine they'll be holding onto it for long.
bodude loves his conspiracy theories...
you shoulda seen the posts about China
At least I do it with style
And with logic, I like to think.
I'm not in it to trade anyways sir, not in the stricter sense... I prefer to engage in general market sentiment discussion to gauge longer term buying in and selling points etc. Maybe I will attempt to trade again if there is another bubble in the future, but the finer stuff that goes into day trading... too emotional for that.
Same.

Sorry to steal the show, but even after spending 36 hours in an emergency care unit, I still think $1,000+ peak valuation is unstoppable before Christmas. My experiences tell that even the patients here are eager to buy by the truckload, as soon as they get into the position to do so. Not everyone was picked when he had all his belongings packed to two nice cabin bags (+the silver).
As in you are taking back the 300k prediction?

These askwalls and bidwalls seem far too high considering there's such low volume.
I wonder if this is a kind of DOS against Bitcoin itself.
Someone with enough USD and BTC on the exchanges could create an artificial situation like this and pull the plug either way whenever they feel like it.
This. These walls are way too coordinated.
Who would be selling right now, when Bitcoin is so obviously getting geared up to go?

So what are you guys suggesting the purpose and thus end result would be? Speculating of course.
My reason
was the conference. And it still kind of is related to it. My guess now is that Big Money works in groups, Big Money has friends. And their friends now see Bitcoin in the same light the rest of us do(at least profit-wise) - but they're not quite ready. They need to get some internal infrastructure ready for the conversion to Bitcoin. Also they might be waiting on Bitcoin exchange infrastructure to accommodate their level of planned buying; can current exchanges handle multiple buys of millions of dollars?(I am asking, I don't know) So they get back to their Big Money friends like "Yes, we get it now. We just need a few days to get everything in order. Please just hold the price for a short time, to stop a panic buy among current holders(and other companies), so we can start the real buying at these prices when we're ready." This would more than pay for the money their friends spent holding the price, at these volumes its just too easy for them.
My guess would be is that they know a gold rush is inevitable, and that it will be a race. Not everyone knows they are going to end up having to run in this race, but the ones who do want to have a stable starting line as they're walking up, so they can make sure to get their affairs in order without any kind of panic.
As in, this stability is the "take your marks" portion of the race.

Ares' tinfoil hat thesis:
Satoshi, with his massive holding of coins, is keeping the price down stable until he sees an infrastructure that warrants new ATH prices. This will minimize violent rises and crashes, and make Bitcoin look much more viable.
Not bad actually. I'll have to think on this.

When market was absolutely stagnant last week it only moved after the DHS seizure order news, but it still took 20-30 minutes before the swing started.
Something has to make people trade again.
Yes, my last post was kind of out of context. What I meant by that is that it is useful to speculate on these things, calling it "tinfoil hattery" does not mean it is illogical, just that you don't agree. As electricmucus said, this is not a time when chart analysis is going to help. Bitcoin has never been in the situation it is right now, and I think we can all agree that the sentiment of current holders is not being accurately reflected on the charts. Thus one must examine other possibilities. My theory didn't get pulled out of my ass, I just looked the evidence which led me to believe in an artificial price(ATM), asked who would benefit from such a situation, and went from there.
Given that headlines have played a role in price changes in the past, one has to wonder why this time is different, with heaps of the best news we have ever had.

Here's a bottleneck for you "singularity" guys that ultimately limits the height of parabolic rises: Infrastructure. Remember when MtGox had an order queue of up to 75 minutes filled with market sells? Think this can't happen again in some other variation? Think again.
Infrastructure? What makes you think that MtGox past troubles in coping with demand will having anything to do with the patterns of future adoption?
This was when Bitcoin had a central point that could be swamped like that. We are already seeing that change, we are already seeing the infratstructure rise, and it will only start coming faster. New exchanges popping up, many only in beta, and of course OpenTransactions stands to change the whole game. Infrastructure will rise to meet the demand much faster than you think because there is
so much profit potential.
You underestimate the power(and speed) of hype, greed, competition,
and logical thinking when applied to a digital free market with sound foundations.

Actually, the link is even stronger. Competition -> Race to improve -> Increased infrastructure. Just look what the intense competition between miners has lead to: The biggest computational network in the world created, biggest by a fair margin.
Very good point.

In regard to "it's impossible that there could not be a singularity in Bitcoin infrastructure, it is simply too profitable", again:
Can you tell me where this "Bitcoin time" was when the price topped out June 2011 for nearly 2 years and lost ~94% of its value within 5 months?
The same opportunities (ten to hundredfold even) were given in 2011, and yet noone cared. But
this time it's different.
Yes it is different. Because Bitcoin has new types of users now.

It worries me to a certain degree that there doesn't appear to be a steady growth of services and stores accepting bitcoins.
So what?
I agree. I think many idealists were hoping that Bitcoin would have a very grassroots community based adoption proceeding to rise and change the economy around them. Besides we early adopters who were willing to take a crazy idea serious, I really don't see this happening. Corporations and global transactional business are going to take Bitcoin and run with it, simply because it works better, faster and cheaper. Other business will have to adopt or get left behind. Most of the populace of the world puts trust in products that backed by large corporations, they will respond to advertising. Bitcoin will trickle down to the common people in this way.

Just look what the intense competition between miners has lead to: The biggest computational network in the world created, biggest by a fair margin. Bitcoin naturally incentivises competition, due to its fast transfer times (making switching between competitors easy) and its open-source nature (meaning one competitor can't monopolize some part of the client in some way). Now with miners the competition is induced in the protocol itself.
I think its important to note one of the very cool features of Bitcoin economy : Bitcoin incentivizes competition
and cooperation.
For instance ASICMiner is going to remain only 30% of the mining force because they know if they got greedy and took it all that other Bitcoiners might be upset and fork off. Then their profits would mean nothing.
It is actually more profitable to
maintain the competition than to win the competition. Bitcoin really blows my fucking mind.

From the way this keeps happening I can't help wondering if it's a deliberate attempt to damage confidence in BTC rather than a way to make money or simple incompetence. Now, who would both be able to afford to do this and benefit from it? Maybe I'm just being paranoid but I can't help suspecting the US government or their banks - neither of whom are famous for playing fair or even obeying the law. They could cause trouble like this with their spare change.
I don't think a tin foil hat is necessary to consider them capable of malicious behaviour, they have a long history of it.
or it's a way to soften up the meat before you *really* bite into it...
I don't think anyone is going to take a big bite until MtGox no longer determines the price of the Bitcoin market. It really is laughable when you think about it. I think everyone is really just waiting for the next gen exchanges.

You clearly do not understand FUD.
By association it can be interpreted exactly opposite - it was a ponzi all along, now confirmed by the SEC.
I can see your point, but I think the stronger message is that the SEC press release mentions bitcoin as if it is somewhat normal and that the Ponzi scheme is the exception. If bitcoin itself was the Ponzi scheme why would they pay attention to this guy when there are registered exchanges operating in the US they could go after?

i haven't followed markets very much lately,
so sorry if i missed a point there.
are we really going only up because people can't get their fiat out of gox,
or is there a connection with the inside bitcoin conference today in New York?
Are there any other bullish news?
It is at least partially to blame. Everyone is trying to make sense of what is going on. There is just so much going on it's hard to make sense of, lol.
In my mind the ETF news is huge, even if it fails it sets precedent for another attempt in another country.
Speaking of the ETF I'm surprised Jeff's comment didn't get more attention.
A bitcoin ETF is huge.

Seriously. And you said that YOU called him back. The idea of not a least putting the phone on speaker and recording that bitch in whatever way you could is idiotic beyond belief, if this was real.
You called him huh. What's the number?

I doubt it. eBay is a bitch to get ahold of. But I'm sure glad I have his info now. Next time PayPal screws me he will be getting a call.
Well I admit, the plot thickens... I am temped to call back and leave a message politely requesting a confirmation of the rumour, but I'll let you guys decide what you want to do.

And here was me, thinking that going to bed was an option - how silly of me! This is Bitcoin, there's no close of trading here!!
don't worry whoever is dumping will need to buy the btc back when they realize that at most they can transfer out 1000 euros per day and now even japanese domestic wires are taking a week or more, and forget about getting dollars out...

I think that if they do something in terms of integrating bitcoin into Paypal they would benefit from it an enormous amount in the long run....and bitcoin would be literally incalculable at that point. We have no idea of what even 10% of Paypal's $145b/per annum transaction rate would do to the price.
Nightowlace is a well respected member of the community also...he is someone I normally read with mature well thought out posts.
If this was a fabrication it would be totally outside of his previous online behavior...I feel it is likely a true statement of account as well.
I have a good feeling about it as well.
What seems strange to me is the way it was handled, and why. They obviously know of the implications of a "leak" like this. So what does that mean? What could they have possibly needed to know to justify a leak like that?
Does this mean they are close to release so it doesn't really matter anymore? This makes me recall the Reddit "leak" that predicted ebay/paypal adoption within the next month or so. Then there is that ebay youtube video too.
Nightowlace, do you care to share the details of this conversation?

Yes it's a bucket shop, a place where people go to make side bets on loans, scams and bankruptcy like a bookie for betting. It's perfect for Bitcoin.
Agree, reminds me of "boiler room".
I wouldn't touch any of those "investments" listed on wikipedia, guess they are on SecondMarket for a reason.

If you look back in the old Wall Observer thread, you'll find me saying i had a dream that bitcoin exploded well over 100$

Wow. But why buy on a three-day weekend when the coins will dry up on exchange? Could be a pump, or maybe someone is just trying to push the price past $150 to break the monotony. It could work anyway.
Then again, if it's China-driven all bets are off. We could be ready to rocket.
I think there are MANY people expecting the stock markets to crash tomorrow. The government debt default is worrying to many people, not just Americans.
I think we might be ready to rocket like we have never seen before. Perfect storm situation.

http://imgur.com/jgwRMJoThis rally is being led by CHINA... Forget US exchanges. The rules have now changed. Bitcoin will see a paradigm shift as China leads for the next few months since US regulators are creating a pain in the ass for US exchanges.
Only when we see $250 (my guess is by december), and the media starts talking about Bitcoin reaching new highs again, will US regulators capitulate and finally make it easy for americans to buy BTC.
Once we hit $1,000 -- average americans will be calling their investment advisors asking how to invest in bitcoin. Wall street will pile in.
The move from $1,000 to $100,000 will happen faster then $10 to $1,000
Completely agree except that I don't think it will take until December to hit $250. China could easily take us there on her own.

These are interesting devices but I can't help feeling at least a few of them will be stolen for the money inside them as they're not very big and probably don't weigh enough to prevent people picking them up and running off with them.
They are indoor and wall bolted.
It's interesting that that's the biggest detail you pulled from that.
Not that they are are international money transfer certified and will be and have partners placing them in 7 countries?

There is very little volume so price is going up fast with only a few buys and no asks. I am condescending if I say where such behaviour usually leads to?
Or maybe a few entities with deep pockets are staging some hell of a crash in order to harm the bitcoin economy.
Meworries
Why? What did you expect to happen? If everybody thinks that bitcoin will be worth so much more in the future, they will hold until they think a fair price for their coins are reached. This is how the meltup will happen.
Bitcoins are insanely undervalued right now, they are acting accordingly.

Biggest news all week.. together with the Winklevoss Bitcoin Trust filing.
who is this person? someone important?
A top hedge fund manager. Probably the most prominent person in the financial industry to endorse bitcoin to date.
This all really makes me think of Trace Meyers post a little while back:
I have been in NYC the past two weeks working on several very significant Bitcoin related projects.
Any chance you can elaborate? Also - Will you be posting to your blog anytime soon?
Wish I could.
Just wait for the news, serious journalists like the WSJ have already been getting briefed but cannot write about it yet, which should come out around the last week of September.
Additionally, this fall there will be probably 6+ 'big names', like Richard Bove or Chamath Palihapitiya [starting at 19:15], in the investment community that will come out in favor of Bitcoin and that will cause a lemming like effect.And the private wealth managers out of Asia are stacking Bitcoins away as the new favorite asset class. Many of the HNWI family offices will not make an investment in the sub-$25-50m range. So, when Bitcoin melts up then it is going to be free range for a lot of these ultra-rich Asia families to move in.
If about $1m of new capital moves the price $9 then just imagine what $500m-$1B of new capital flowing into this asset class would do to the price. Especially if that $500m requires 'clean bitcoins' from a known source of funds. The making of a 'melt-up' in price to a much more fundamentally sound valuation since Bitcoins are largely undervalued given their characterstics (no counter-party risk, cannot be seized and equity based like gold).
This is going to be a wild ride this fall. So strap yourselves in and let's kick the tires and light the fires!

When will someone make a service that will truly revolutionize the way we use bitcoin? An app/webservice that would oversimplify the use of bitcoin, making it accessible to the common folk who don't want to spend time getting to know bitcoin. Also something that would mitigate the exchange risk/confirmations duration problem.
Like a service that holds a wallet of bitcoin, allowing people to purchase bitcoins to immediately buy an item on the internet (this would be a service performed by the company itself). They would offer a variety of ways to deposit money, the difference is people wouldn't have to deal with the website selling the item or the inherent risks of bitcoin. The company itself wouldn't have to pay many fees because of the fact they work with bitcoin. Companies selling items accepting payments in bitcoin from this company would have eliminated the need to subscribe to payment processors themselves. Truly frictionless buying/selling for both customers and companies selling items.

Perhaps the bitcoin distribution model is carefully designed to retain the coins in hands of the intelligent, the honest and the simple:
- intelligent hear about it first and being relatively rich and/or tech-savvy, can acquire many
- honest have distrust and disdain towards fiat, so convert to bitcoin easily and have no urge to sell
- simple see that others have become rich and just imitate them by buying and holding.
Very nice.

Hell, I think it was bobdude too who posted this. Are you the one making all this shit up, or do you just keep falling for it?
Nice "leak", as nice as the ebay one. As in, cool pump'n'dump by an anonymous redditor making up shit. How gullible have we become?
Lol yeah that was me. And I believed the last one. Don't shoot the messenger though.
Hypothetically if a large company was considering accepting bitcoin, the Senate hearings might have erased a lot of barriers.

...
its what we call the up trend, new line drawers are always told to zoom out before drawing lines, just zoom out and buy cheep coins.
Difference in language. I would call it the upper resistance limit of a downtrend. That means that if price goes above that line, either the downtrend is recalibrating to a shallower slope, or it is reversing into a new uptrend (or resuming the overall uptrend which dominates a longer timeline). If it punches above but sinks back below, it's a false breakout. If it continues to punch above, and a downward line of shallower slope coincides with multiple tops, it has recalibrated.
You can use historical data to estimate the relative probabilities of these scenarios, but they may or may not vary with other environmental factors.
I expected to be told that I would need another line somewhere. Doesn't a "channel" have to form somewhere to make this valid?

Bullshit. CampBX has been around for over three years. It had excellent design and security for the time. It still does. It remained a backwater even with all the crap Gox put us through, Karpele's House of Buggery remained the main exchange.
The Market cannot be wrong. The customer is always right or he's not you customer. The Market is the Market. We don't serve the market we want.. We serve the market we have. I'll jump to second market when there is a market there or if I find an edge. Not before.
CampBX has a

That proves my point, not yours. I used it three years ago for the same reason you think people will use Second Market now. Nobody followed. The market jumps when the market jumps, not when you or I think it
ought to jump. I'll move there when and if others move there, not before.
No. Nobody jumped because it was limited to $1,000 deposit/withdrawal a day. That is not an exchange.

I would not wait for an increase in volume, I don't think it will ever come.
Mt Gox ruined that trust, these exchanges are just too amatuer. Nobody feels comfortable putting large amounts of fiat/coins into them anymore. Large buyers and sellers will wait for institutional level exchanges, and in the meantime the buying will happen through Second Market, dark pools, and directly from miners.
There won't be an uptick in volume on Bitstamp, the stream of coins coming in for sale will slowly dwindle as the off chain buying increases. You will wait for large volume, but suddenly there will hardly be any coins for sale. Buying on Stamp-level exchanges will be for small fish and last-resort larger traders.

Nailed it.
So what happens to price under this scenario? Price slowly trickles upward due to lack of coins, without volume?
It will trickle slowly at first, because experienced bitcoin traders will scoff at such a low volume rally. Then panic will grow as they notice that the sell walls are not being replaced. Price will then rocket on the low volume of traders who still use these exchanges. The hole these traders will be trying to fit through will be much smaller than anticipated because large buyers have cut off the stream of coins for sale nearer to the source.

No. Since they started charging fees they have lower volume than Bitstamp. Coinbase ask side (and bid if we take out that wall) is still very thin. Don't know why would anyone wire 1mil$ to the exchange with such low liquidity.
If I was sending $1m anywhere, I'd want it to be somewhere with at least a degree of regulation and in my home country, not somewhere like Stamp of Finex that might run into problems of some sort.
Why don't more people understand this?
Between the current players, Coinbase is destined to end up as the leading exchange.

Sometimes big walls get pulled once people start buying/dumping into them, and sometimes they seem to get pulled for no reason. They are probably often put there just for show.
Not just the bid wall I think. Quite a few ask walls came down with it.
