It's capital control. They haven't said "ok we're increasing the charges to transfer money to europe" they've said "you cannot transfer your money"

cypress was the beta test. next is the bail-in.
How it it we even know the term "bail-in"? That's something those banker scum made up once we bailed them out the first time.
We emboldened them with the bail-out and now they want more.

People seem to forget that the last time we were at 187 people were talking bubble. At worst we'll hit 150 for a while. I doubt it and think we'll hit 200 shortly then 250 then we'll all have a big panic and go back to 207 or something.

How do you think you know this?
Obviously I don't KNOW it. I think it.
266 was crazy money a week ago but next week if we crashed to 266 it'll look cheap. Can you imagine you were a new investor back in april at say 230 and you panicked on the way down and got out. You'd be pissed off now and you'd wish you had kept those coins. That sentiment right there is what value/demand is all about. People were thrilled buying in this week at 230.
(just to note i'm talking gox figures)

How many people plan on buying more Bitcoin with fresh money next week when the banks open again assuming the price stays above $300 ?
I have a feeeling that this is a time when how much you make all depends on how greedy you are.
The most greedy won't necessarily be the ones who end up with the most.
I think people who are waiting for deposits to go through right now would be thrilled if it hit 266 on monday. There will be demand on the way down. I saw some guy a few pages back thrilled his transfer went through and he bought at something like 230. I almost posted "hold on there's a correction coming" thinking we'd go below 200 then back up again.
There's no doubt we'll have a correction but not a crash (imho)

Except the Chinese are not buying bitcoin. BtcChina is manipulated by a few money laundering Amurikans who fear FINCEN registered exchanges and realize they can trigger USA rallies by creating the illusion that a foreign country is crazy over bitcoin.
That's a very interesting theory. So there is no-one in china buying bitcoin, it's just americans pretending to be chinese

I think there's a small chance of hitting under 300 at one of the exchanges tomorrow but it won't last long as bitcoin under 300 is a bargain

The price has been above $300 for only 3 days, ever. The last three days and you consider it a bargain.
LOL, WTF
Is that you rpietila ?
If we crash all the way down to our previous ath of 266 I'll still consider anything under 300 a bargain. I said post april crash that anything under 200 was a bargain. But you're the expert. Lap it it.
Shall we have a bet? gox to go below 300 tomorrow? I don't think it will

personally I've nothing against gay marriage at all and I hope they are very happy. All I'm saying is that selling their bitcoin for "1$-$100" is stupid when they can earn over 300 dollars if they act like real men and have some balls and not be little forum bitches. Oh but that would be going against their nature.

I'll 1-up this. If a single Bitcoin trade on gox even touches its previous all time high $266, any time this entire week, I'll double your bet.

Well samson did put the money where his mouth is at least. He sold everything at $120, then regretted and bought back at a loss somewhere towards 200, then he sold it all again around $200. Now he is all in fiat and not buying back before it crashes below that.
Personally I'd say below $200 is pretty long shot at this point, but this is bitcoin, anything could happen.
Well I was actually hoping that they'd bet me bitcoin that bitcoin would go below 266 on gox in the next 7 days but they made their excuses and left.
I'm no expert and I'm pretty bullish but I'm not just making shit up or trying to pimp some coin that will make you a Master. I'm just posting my opinion. I'd take the bet off either of those two bitches but like the bitches they are they are all talk and no action.

That's the feeling I get. We get crazy gains but then they get pegged back to reality. Back in april it was unfettered, now it seems 'fettered' or at least every time it seems like a bubble the market thinks "oh hai we're in a bubble, let's sell"

Post 3542565 (copy this link) (by freethink2013) (scraped on 2020-04-04_Sat_11.22h):
what's interesting is the psychological effect of these kinds of numbers. I mean if people get it in their head that bitcoin COULD be worth a million, then 1000 seems pretty realistic (especially now at 300+). And if/when we hit 1000, then the idea of going to 10 thousand seems realistic, and so on, and so on. I mean, if the idea gets seeded and people believe it, it does seem to become a self-fulfilling prophecy.
You know there's the story of the runner Roger Bannister - who broke the 4 minute mile when everyone said it wasn't possible. Even doctors at the time were saying that the human body could never function at that kind of speed. Within a 46 days of him breaking the record, another person broke it, then another, etc. Today this is not so uncommon (although still amazing). The power of belief can't be underestimated here. The internet, which seems so obvious now, had it's firm disbelievers as well in 1993.

As Bitcoin Plunges 25% On Government Scrutiny, The First BTC "Fair Value" Reco Has A Stunning Price Target
Let’s use a broad guesstimate. One Bitcoin should theoretically be worth 700 ounces of gold or pretty close to $1,000,000, if we adjust existing supply of both to equal eachother. One BTC is currently worth 0.14 ounces of gold. That gives BTC an upside of 5000 times to equal the current price of gold, supply adjusted. Clearly, I and everyone else believes that Gold may well be much higher than here in the next 5 to 10 years, thus versus the US Dollar the upside for BTC could be multiples of that. Now, before you shake your head, simply go back to the chart of Gold versus the US Dollar and just recognise that it has risen 8750% since the 1920s. And just remember that Microsoft rose 61,000% from its IPO to it’s peak. Considering what we know about the world, I personally believe that Bitcoin may well explode in value as more and more people begin to use it. If you stuck $5,000 into Bitcoins and each Bitcoin did go up to a gold equivalent of let’s say, only 100 ounces of gold (not the potential fair value of 700), then at current prices your Bitcoin stash would be worth $3.3m.
http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2013-11-10/bitcoin-plunges-25-government-scrutiny-first-btc-fair-value-reco-has-stunning-price- Hold on, guys! Zerohedge have been anti-bitcoin for as long as I can remember. having them onboard is a pretty big deal, right?
No they haven't. There have been people on zerohedge that are anti-bitcoin but I'd say that zerohedge as a platform is very positive on bitcoin.

Can anyone explain why anyone would sell on Btc-e for less than they could get on Stamp? Is it because of trading between LTC and others or something?
This puzzles me too. Who would move coins to btc-e to sell, and who would move fresh fiat to mtgox to buy?
Especially as the price is firmly in 3 digits, the difference in $$$ terms becomes very significant.
i don't think many people move between exchanges. it's such hassle even getting validated by an exchange, i'm guessing people stick with where they are.
you could argue that larger volume = higher prices

Post 3543620 (copy this link) (by freethink2013) (scraped on 2020-04-04_Sat_11.22h):
btc-e is an anonymous exchange, people may be willing to pay for such privilege? They deposit with bitcoin/litecoin, sell, buy back later and withdraw with bitcoin/litecoin and never have to identify themselves.
Interesting. I wasn't aware of that. So how do they pay out dollar? Or are you saying they don't require ids for bitcoin payouts?
I'm just glad that there's multiple exchanges doing volume.

that does explain why is slightly cheaper. gox's price, and this is just a theory, is because people think they can't get out so rather than doing nothing they play thus giving more volatility.
For me, stamp is the closest to the 'real' price.

Just talked to karpeles via personal cell. He says buy orders are working fine but sells are not. Not exactly sure what the problem is, but has determined this is a new kind of ddos. Should be resolved by end of the month.
Can people withdraw BTC from Gox ? I know BTC withdrawals were not working yesterday.
Karpeles says btc withdrawals are working fine but fiat still non-functional. Will provide official statement re the latter after new midas engine implemented, which is now expected late 2014.

is there actually a better alternative than Gox for traders who want to trade in euro? And i'm not talking trading systems like bitcoin.de... Something with a real live trading market like bitstamp or gox. In this case Gox is probably the only choice for those traders. Not everyone wants to be exposed to the exchange rate risk dollar/euro has.

Anyone care to comment what kind of resources might be required to sustain what appears to be (by volume) a nearly 7 hour DDOS against Gox, assuming they are using Akamai (for whatever exact reason they said they were), and Midas (as seems to be the case) is *not* running?

is there actually a better alternative than Gox for traders who want to trade in euro? And i'm not talking trading systems like bitcoin.de... Something with a real live trading market like bitstamp or gox. In this case Gox is probably the only choice for those traders. Not everyone wants to be exposed to the exchange rate risk dollar/euro has.

no way i'm putting any significant money in something like BTC-E. BTC is already volatile enough, no need to add something as risky as the russian authorities to the equasion lol. So Gox is probably the only choice I have until something else comes along.
bitstamp seems legit to me. they insist on ids etc. btc-e is a timebomb.

They are all great until they do serious volume and then you find out they were run by amateurs. Bitstamp seems to me like the exchange that anticipated issues rather than were surprised by them.
Crazy that a european exchange doesn't trade in euros though.

Bitstamp doesn't offer euro trading. And I just don't want to be exposed to the dollar/euro exchange rate, which is already very volatile.
I really don't get this - You're exposed to BTC/USD which is far more volatile than any USD/EUR rate over the past few years why trade on euro market which is less volatile than the usd market
No, i'm exposed to BTC/EUR... If i trade in BTC/USD i'll eventually have to switch back to euro if i want to cash out to fiat, which means i'll have the initial capital i invested minus or plus the gains/loss i have from the exchange rate USD/EUR and also any profit/loss i might have had from trading BTC as well. So if i had BTC profit that might as well be offset by a low EUR/USD exchange rate at the time i want to cash out to fiat. Twice the risk which i don't really want.
Honestly, all your trading should be about accumulating more coin

And I don't get why you're saying the euro market is less volatile than the USD market. The euro market follows the USD market so they're both equally volatile. The USD market has the biggest volume so everyone looks at the btc/usd exchange rate and follows that.
more volume means more volatility. not sure that's a universal truth but it's a bitcoin truth.

In general I'm fairly bullish...I know BTC has a long way to go and will be worth truckloads...but when Stamp gets hung up like this I feel like if I don't do something i'm going to "lose out" on the gains I've made so far.
But then to keep it in perspective it's only 1.5BTC...but its my precious, hard earned BTC...so i'm torn.
why not sell .25(or less) when you see it starting to tank and then use that money to buy more. It's going to correct but it's not going to collapse and ultimately if you can afford it your best bet is just to hold on.

The word "fiat" means a decree or a dictate thus indicating a central authority. This does obviously not apply to Bitcoin or bitcoins and we should thus, in my opinion, avoid linking the word "fiat" with bitcoins.
No, I will not avoid "linking" the word fiat with Bitcoin because that is what Bitcoin or any other currency that has no intrinsic value is. Fiat. You may not like that and even choose only the definitions that support your position, but it is what it is. Fiat.
Think I mentioned tally sticks in an earlier thread. bitcoin is an advanced version of that concept. iou's 2.0
nothing wrong with fiat per se. i dare say that even fractional reserve banking isn't the devil it made out to be. It provided capital to business where there was none. the issue has been our economy became dependant on junk futures.

I am not picking definitions at will. Fiat means decree thus indicating central authority. I tried to be polite but:
http://goo.gl/fQX918And he is using the definition from wikipedia's "Fiat Money" page. I'm not saying I agree with him, but he already linked to his definition, so linking to a conflicting definition won't get you anywhere.
That is true. And this is also why I warned against semantic discussions btw. But when you seek to define words, one should always look at their etymology (origin) and not different uses since many words can be used for conflicting meanings. Take the word "liberal". In europe it means "seeker of freedom" = libertarian or classical liberal like John Locke. In the US "liberal" means social liberal who are inspired by Rousseau or even the social democratic movement with emphasis on the so-called positive freedoms (as defined by Isaiah Berlin). Many words can mean anything you please if you do not go to their root. Then their meaning usually becomes unambigues. Like "fiat."
Great point

Um, yeah it does. If you wait more than 10min to edit then your datestamp gets a little underline. If you hover your cursor over it, the last date of edit pops up.
I'll illustrate this in 11 minutes or so.
I do a thread then once we clear this up. You'll have to explain this to me exactly though so I can avoid cheats.
Basically what I was going to do is this:
Thread title: Guess the low 16-17th november
rules:
1. low time period refers to 16th 00:00:01 to 17th 23:59:59 and the lowest price at gox in that period.
2. Only one entry per person and no edits to your post except within the forum defined 10 minutes
3. In the case of two identical predictions the first posted will be accepted.
4. Predictions after 17th 06:00:00 are invalid.
5. All times are gmt.
6. Predictions to have 4 decimal places
7. In the case of two predictions one higher, one lower but equidistant from the low the lower will be the winner.
Any other gotchas I've left out? Any changes? I'm only gonna put .1 on the line but it's better that a kick in the hole.

The only time I have ever been mad at myself was for selling (nicely above market prices). Not profiting from volatility doesn't phase me, but ending up with less Bitcoins does.
Market sentiment right there.
How many of us would see a crash to below 300 as a disaster and how many of us would feel like it's cheap coins?

As we discovered yesterday banks can be bought off. I wonder if that will come up again today.
Yesterday? Look at hsbc
"HSBC was accused of failing to monitor more than $670 billion in wire transfers and more than $9.4 billion in purchases of U.S. currency from HSBC Mexico, allowing for money laundering, prosecutors said. The bank also violated U.S. economic sanctions against Iran, Libya, Sudan, Burma and Cuba, according to a criminal information filed in the case."

Western Union and MoneyGram International Inc. deduct $10 to $17 to wire $200 to Kenya from the U.S., including charges to exchange funds, in a process that can take an hour to five days, according to the World Bank’s Send Money Africa price database. BitPesa will charge 3 percent on overseas transfers and says the money arrives the same day. At that rate, it would cost $6 to send $200 via BitPesa.

Fully agree. They need to do something quickly or they will be in major trouble because Bitcoin overlaps their core business model.

poeple were trading........
It completely killed the momentum of the dip, who knows where gox would have stopped, it was certainly headed for 700.
but the deeper it falls the harder its bounces back.
stop thinking of what could have been.
How many times does Bitstamp need to bounce from 0.800 before people realize it's the new floor?
Every bounce (3 so far) adds to the strength of the support, and it is already in the Titanium level, comparable to molecular's left nut.
Buying at 0.800 is better EV than buying at 1.000. From 1 it can go either way, but from 0.800 it always goes up, and the 10% probability not included in "always" is only that it will dip to 0.6 for a few hours. Nothing to be scared of.
What's funny is bears WANT bitcoin and that desire is what keeps the price up above what they are willing to pay.

Chinese people are still able to gamble on an investment and cash out and that's all they were doing up until now not spending btc in shops so effectively not much has changed apart from they have to show ids.

Nothing is driving this but speculation. I've known that since day one. But the future expectation of what China could bring to the table, just got obliterated. No banks, no merchants...simply reduced to trading it online. I'm sure this is all very bullish news though.
That's not necessarily true, China could change their stance at any time they want when they see other countries making excellent progress with bitcoin adoption and they start to feel like getting left behind.
Yep I think they probably will but decided to put the brakes on things. I'm pretty bullish but even I thought we were getting a bit carried away

A chart I posted on one of Risto's threads the other day.
Uploaded by Drew at tradingview 4 Days ago. As a short term bear his comments on the situation made excellent sense to me.
The same chart with the current trading data filled in over time.
let me guess, you have buy orders in at 700.
pathetic
So a guy makes a trading chart with some pretty spot on predictions, backed up by some sound market analysis, I follow that and I'm pathetic?
Lets see what you were saying only 7 days ago:
Honestly, I think you'll be lucky if we see triple digits again. I suspect a big 'crash' around 1500 but not sure it'll crash a third.
Yeah I should have listened to you obviously.
Pathetic?...lol
Posted that on monday before china crisis. If that hadn't happened we'd be at 1300 or something. In this case the person I was talking to was 'lucky'. We'll be back in 4 digits if not this weekend then early next week and you still won't have any coin.

Its always amusing so see some TA trolls (who claim to be a pro... with TA bs) posting some charts of the past to predict the future.
Funny i dont see any of them making a bank.
They don't seem to get the market is made up of humans or that real external events affect the market. To them people have no free will and external factors in the real world are irrelevant - all that matters are patterns. Ok there is some ta that actually happens i.e. a dead cat bounce is a real thing but that ta is based on human nature whereas all their ta is based on patterns. Him slagging me off for saying we'd be lucky to see triple digits is like saying to someone they were an idiot for not foreseeing 911 and the stockmarket crashing. I can't predict those events and neither can his stupid charts. All we can do is gauge market sentiment at a given time. It's these ta geniuses who think they can draw a few lines and world events won't affect them.

Sorry I didn't see your claim to fame? What did you predict that was worth reading?
I predict you're a bear looking to buy back in lower. hence you're on a mission to spread more fears.... when noobs are fearful, you're greedy.
Now tell me, is my prediction closer to the truth?
Like I said earlier, I don't spread anything with the intention of manipulating others. To me that is childish and not worth my effort. There must be what 100 people that visit this thread daily? If i managed to make half of them sell it would probably move the market 10 dollars. Please don't be so simple minded to think that's why I post, because it's ridiculous.
If I was of that mind set I would be orchestrating DDOS attacks on the forum during the past 2 hours of activity, posting fake links of FUD on Reddit/Bitcoin and spamming the IRC channel with the FUD. But I'm not that type of person. I'm just on here for some good banter and the occasional facts from people.

FYI to all, right now from 7 days ago we are down 26%. From 3 days ago we are down 32%. In the last 24 hours, we are down 2.99%. From 30 days ago, we are up 106.43%.
This is with China news triggering a huge selloff that would have devastated the price in April.
That news did not define an outright ban in bitcoin and many of the attributes the chinese investors and people from around the world found attractive have not changed.
agreed. Markets are an amazing thing.
I'm often reminded of the way flocks of birds move almost as a single entity despite being made of hundred of autonomous entities.

Could be that the market is changing their opinion about it now.
I don't think any of us could say it was good news but we could probably agree that is wasn't as bad as people made out initially.
Couple of randomish points: People in china are still using QQ coins pretty widely and the black market economy of china is probably bigger than the gdp of several eu nations.

The crash has almost nothing to do with the "quasi"-ban on bitcoins and everything to do with new ID verification requirements by BTCChina.
Same old story. An exchange attracts money launderers and price manipulators. Then requires ID verification. The criminals flee to another exchange.

I would believe that, except that it doesn't make sense for somebody who doesn't want to get caught in ID verification to dump less-traceable bitcoins on BTCChina for more-traceable CNY.
That scenario would have played out like the Mt Gox withdrawal problems this summer, where traders with trapped fiat would buy bitcoins, withdraw them to another exchange, and sell there.

No, because they would buy bitcoin at BTC China with their funds, and then sell at BTC-e, giving the exact opposite result.
If they are just trying to accumulate coin, knowing that withdrawing fiat is pointless then btc-e makes sense. It really depends on the pov of the person. Like if you are a person that wants to do everything off the books and are in china and have btc you are going to withdraw your btc to a wallet then send some to btc-e to play with.

The question as far as I'm concerned is whether this is real or some type of dead cat bounce. I mean to get over $1000, close to $1100 would mean something to me. If it stalls out soon though I'd be worried it's headed for another drop. We'll see I guess. Anyone familiar with characteristics of dead cat bounce?
It has the characteristic of an dead cat bounce.
http://thepatternsite.com/dcb.htmlBut nobody knows.
Uncertainty.
seems a bit big of a bounce to me.
1226 > 576 > 910
is what happened
a dead cat bounce would be something like 1226 > 576 > 600-700 and then back down.

http://www.bloomberg.com/video/12-days-of-bitcoin-struggling-to-buy-one-6gju__9xTpi5qyI_~aQy9A.htmlMaybe I am just too much of a technical computer person, but I am speechless at the incompetence, and inability to grasp the basic bitcoin concept by "top minds". Watching some of these "experts" dismiss bitcoin without understanding any of the basic principles, makes my brain scream BUY BUY BUY.... No wonder it keeps growing exponentially despite important people, people with clout, saying it is a fad or malarcky, the financial "experts" saying this are absolutely incompetent, too set in their ways or too old to understand basic principles of cryptology, and even the long forgot basics of simple exchange.
No wonder it keeps growing while people shake their heads in disbelief and refusal, people are dumber than I realized, (or more stuck in their ways.) Bitcoin is going to sneak up on all of them.
there was a similar thing on the motleyfool. where they tried to pay for a christmas party with bitcoin. the whole thing was OMG it's so hard to get on and OMG we're being fucked on fees then once they got bitcoin they just went around 7/11 and asked then if they accepted bitcoin then a few other shops then the admitted defeat.

How many more compared to a normal day?
I sell an average of 2-3 coins per day. Mostly singles for 1.3B each.
Today I sold two 2011 singles with error, a 10BTC all silver, 3 Silver gold B singles, a 2011 series two single, a silver 0.5, I am waiting on payment for two silver singles, and have had inquiries for 9 2013 singles. This has all come via the forum and personal emails.

Interesting statement from a few days ago
The Revenue Commissioners are "actively" monitoring the use of bitcoin in an effort to catch tax cheats.
Minister for Finance Michael Noonan says the use of bitcoin instead of traditional cash does not pose much of a tax risk, because people will still pay VAT when paying for goods and services.
The online currency has become popular among money launderers as a way to move money around the globe without being taxed.
But Minister Noonan says that the threat to the Exchequer is low because anyone who is likely to use bitcoin to skip taxes is probably already acting illegally anyway.
It is the first time that the Government here has discussed the risks posed by the use of the so-called "crypto-currency".

Well done market makers / manipulators!
Really? They didn't know going in that this happens? I am very careful to explain the risks and how these things work to my friends. Not one is less interested now than they were, which is to say most are quite sorry they didn't buy when I told them they should
Did your friends lose money?
He lost about 3-4K $... oh well
There was a lady who bought at $1000 posting on this forum who had to take out a loan on their house to buy her first BTC. Kept talking about her dad investing 3000 BTC and trying to convince her to make her first buy. I wonder what happened to her.
I'm still here
. Still reading... Still 'hodling'. I paid $1080 for each of my 11.1 bitcoins and have not sold - I rationalise this like so: bitcoin is only worth as much as someone is willing to pay for it right? And I refuse to sell them for less, which means they are still worth at least $1080 . Ergo, I have lost no money
. How's that for a comforting delusion?
Totally hang on. What's happening now is people trying to freak you out and get your coins cheap. I don't think you are going to see 'profit' in the next few months but I think we'll see 1080 per bitcoin soon too. At which stage you should just continue to hold.

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.

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.

On our way to 400s - by Sunday evening.
Now, it's either
or
, depending where your money is.
Imho there are too many people waiting for those prices. It has to first go up to a level that is considered a good exit point for the anti-hodlers (and those chinese that want to pass the bomb to another player)
I'd guess most volume is at 550. below that is wishful thinking.

bullish here. Can see us hitting 550 maybe once or twice this year as china flees but not too much lower. The issue is low volume over the holidays but in the new year I'm confident once we hit 800 we won't look back in any meaningful way.

If Satoshi is exiting perhaps we should pay attention.
We are.
Do we have any evidence that the old coins recently moved could have been from Satoshi? I understand that the Satoshi coin are sitting in 50 BTC blocks, untouched since mining. Has anyone been able to see if the old coins that just moved were from a bunch of old addresses each containing 50 BTC?
None apart from various bullshit bears looking for cheap coins so pushing any old bs.

wow, even though he is going to lose, the courts are going to have to make a ruling on it, and more or less claim that btc is property and thus give it all sorts of rights.
pretty cool for btc.
also he more or less admitting to running silk road must mean his case is extremely weak.
Will this force the US government to wait longer to do anything with all of that BTC? That could be good for Bitcoin's value too I would think. The longer they wait to sell is less coin on the market.
They cannot sell until after the court case. They can seize assets but they can't sell them off before it's proven they are criminal assets.

haven't changed my sentiment at all. lots of people looking for cheap coins = more expensive coins. It's supply and demand. Too many people hoping for coins at 380-450. It was never going to happen.

Somebody's buying all bitstamp ... I wonder what's up there
maybe oda.krell?
I love it when my own buys make a noticeable candle, pushing it above some interesting price point. (only on Bitstamp, so less volume is needed, but still feels good
)
I wish
I placed one large-ish buy an hour ago. Now I'm in with all that I'm prepared to spend atm.
damn you oda, fleeing from bear ranks, what's your position now if i may ask?
EDIT. i'm still 50/50, but maybe i'll adjust that little bit in next oversold situation
I'm all in with the speculative part of my position. Ready to sell (at a loss if necessary) if things don't go the way I hope they do, but the stability of the recent few days is a pretty positive sign IMO, short term at least.
i'm wondering is the stability just because of holidays, but i could be wrong
Mad china is almost out of the picture. Now we can get back to earth. Those guys love gambling/speculation. It's gaming and not realistic. Good riddance but thanks for your (china's) support. Stick to speculating on garlic and who'll get sars next.
As stated earlier, bar the shaking off china up until the end on jan, from here we should see steady but slower growth.

I don't know why people are still talking about China. Look at btcchina's volume the past days and compare it to their previous volumes. And that is before the market is completely cut off from the banking and payment providers end of Feb.
I would disregard all the other exchanges as they are likely to be manufacturing their data, same as OKCoin. Do you really believe there is 60k 24h volume on some Huobi site when there is 15k in btcchina, MtGox and Bitstamp all added together?
China is dead. It will probably stay dead. US and Europe remain leaders in Bitcoin.
The biggest mistake I made is thinking the market reacts instantly. They don't. There's people in china who still haven't fully got the message. They won't get the message until the end of january.
imo you can't just ignore the reason for us hitting 4 figures because it suits you. They inmfluenced the market last month and they'll influence the market until the end of jan.
I'm bullish and think we'll be 4 figures in jan/feb. Fuck china but thanks for the boost.

Perhaps I am wrong, but I wouldn't bet against the Chinese state's ability to stamp down things it doesn't like. Obviously people will always be able to trade OTC, but naturally that is a pittance compared to having an exchange.
You can still pay for sex with qq coins btw.
Also the black economy of china probably dwarfs many european states gdp.

yep, i was so sure that we will go down again so i took too big risk and then you know what happened, came by surprise this rally, but i feel good nevertheless, hard choices are part of trading
i'm not too confident about this rise thou, but i think we go >800 at stamp at least before possible drop, what you think?
k, here's my big secret thought.
alright, it's not really secret. and not particularly big or deep either. anyway:
I have quite some confidence in this rally right now (bid/ask looks good everywhere, several important trendlines are active, volume looks good). As long as we're above 700 (ideal), 670 (less ideal, still okay) (bitstamp prices, as always), we're golden.
That's point 1.
Point 2 is: I have equally much confidence that our correction is far from over yet.
So the tricky part is to figure out how to combine the two. Or more accurately, figure out when #1 ends and #2 kicks in again.
I think 650 is the figure at which even when people are screaming "china is dead, china is dead" that people will consider those coins cheap. No idea on the upper limit. I think we'll be 4 figure by feb but may hit 650-700 a few times on the way.

is CNY buying up the coins on stamps and gox?
Yeah... the exchange rate is increasing. China has the lowest exchange rate. Yet, China is responsible for the exchange rate increase.
I'm not seeing it, nor have I been seeing it since the huge correction.
It's more about psychology.
"Look at all the volume on Huobi. They must be buying out all the coins."
"Oops I guess China isn't over. I better rebuy the coins I sold because of China, right away because we're going straight back to the moon where we were with China".
Plus a possible short squeeze due to the unexpected action.
China should not be ignored, but anyone still giving it the weight which people used to give it might find themselves regretting that decision.
Anyone taking Chinese exchange volume seriously should also think twice.

No worries - have a great new year - I think we will all have an interesting one and in that I am referring to Bitcoin only.

I tend to follow this thread in the evenings along with a bottle of wine and mainly for entertainment purposes. And I quite like a heated debate.
I've upset a couple of people on here (not you) and that's never been my intention. I do love an argument but sometimes the fact that it's good natured doesn't quite translate. Anyho enough of my self-obsession lol

Then a year later - you will do the maths on the hours you have spent watching and wondering and possibly work out if it paid you enough for your time.
Best advice to make that equation a positive one is this:
1. Buy
2. Store in a cold wallet
3. Carry on with living your life and forget about it for a year.
Seriously!
good idea but if I'm honest the biggest utility I've got from bitcoin is watching charts and chatting on here. I lost thousands of dollars with the drop from four figures back down to three but it was so fucking entertaining!

Yes of course, whats this "Filling bids" all about. *getting ready to get beaten up*
a filled bid is just a bid that's been fulfilled. like if you bid at 800 for 1btc and that transaction happened then that bid would be considered filled.
the big thing you want to make sure is that you don't just deposit x amount and click buy because then you'll buy at the highest price. It's easier but it's more expensive generally. To get more bang for you buck you need to put in bids below the current price. For instance, if you had clicked buy earlier today 1 bitcoin would've cost you 830 or so but if you'd put in bids you could've got 1 bitcoin for 768.
It's not an exact science and I think anything under 1000 is good value but with a bit of examination of the trends you can get more bitcoin for your money.
Good luck

Yes the last weak arm up before final capitulation is always fueled by a bunch of good news. Before, it was the May btc conference etc.
This time it's taking a bunch of good news AND the sudden artificial influence of China again, so we can see where this is going...
what good news was this?

Overstock, various merchant adoptions and government meetings, bitpay buyout
no honestly, what good news? Overstock don't accept bitcoin. 'Various'? What govt meetings? What happened with bitpay?
