when I look at the sell wall there seems nothing to sell after $500 to about $1000+ as if no one is selling??

Don't worry, I'll be selling on the other side. Others will be too. The price just hasn't gotten high enough to take a position yet.

Excuse me people!
Can we please join forces and discredit this article written on ABC news website?
http://abcnews.go.com/Technology/bitcoins-virtual-currency-explained-idiot/story?id=20926230

It's the first result on google trends today. Everybody's reading it!
The writer is a total douche, the article is crap, he doesn't know the faintest idea of what he talks about or he maybe conveniently talks shit about bitcoin, misinforming.
If we politely write comments below the article dissing what he wrote and explaining all the positives that have been left aside, I think it would be a real contribution to the community.
Please, take 1 minute and leave a positive, polite and productive comment in favor of bitcoin!
Everybody will appreciate this. Quote this message in your replies here so everybody reads and helps

Already done. I also sent in a complaint to ABC News on the feedback form.

Out of curiosity, who's got the lowest buy order in?

Buy at $710, coming up fast. More coins for me!

I am here to try and gain perspective into why people think that bitcoin is such a solid investment. In the real world there is no such thing as guaranteed returns, yet so many people here are applauding every time a man sticks his entire retirement fund into bitcoin or a kid who has been saving up for college hears about how bitcoin can double his money in a week decides it would be a good idea to put in all into bitcoin. You welcome these vulnerable naive people with open arms. It is you sir who is deplorable.

you're a dick, everyone knows bitcoin is volatile and most enter with only what they are willing to lose - there is mention of weak hands being played here, I don't think there are that many - more like greedy hands and greedier hands, selling on the way down with the intention to buy back in but I guess we'll see within a couple of days.

you also talk about the top 50 owning 30%, I don't know if that's true but in the fiat world the top 1% own 41%, the top 10% own 86% and we know they are for the most part, evil mother fuckers so bitcoins distribution is still a definite improvement.

I guess that puts me somewhere between deplorable and meh.  Wink
