a 1k bidwall at 226 down at bitstamp prevented a further drop and now the chinese guys seem to reconsider their downward movement and go up up up agaaain
deposited my bitcoins at bitstamp nonetheless
edit: right now, every drop in price seems to attract all those "naaah, i want a price drop first before i invest"-guys, forming a quite decent resistance

its really like 100 $ lower than btchina
i don't get it. even if there is not enough buying power to raise the price, the sell orders should vanish and reflect the price of the other markets, right? why would anyone have a sell order for 501$ when the price is 580$ on gox and 600$ in china?

Wow damn, trying not to panic sell. Bought 17.5 Coins at 766$ 2-3 days ago. I´m nervous to lose my 13.5k$
do you really believe that bitcoin goes down? why have you then invested in the first place?
two possibilities:
a) bitcoin becomes accepted as an underlying principle of money-transfer in a few years
b) bitcoin fails
i don't care what the usd-btc exchange rate does in the meantime. it's just the background noise in a sharp rise or in a crash to zero. i bought (and will continue to buy) because i believe in a)

I believe in a. but dont want to miss the bottom to get more coins. But its a dangerouse game I know.
But it feels like Bitcoin has lost is power since yesterday.
the exchange-rate isn't acting like the stock value of well-established companies. most daytraders got severly burned by going short - drops occour out of nothing and stop without reaching a predictable line of resistance. sometimes it follows a pattern, thats when all those TA followers post their fancy graphs. most of the time you just sit there and watch astonished. if you want to try it, i advice you to take only a fraction of your btc and play along. if you reduced it by 25% like a lot of people did, you may rethink about your "feelings"
best aproach if you believe in bitcoin: just tell yourself that you lost your 13.5k. gone. nothing to do about it anymore.
then come back in 2 or 3 years

adressing the climate stuff:
as a scientist who has read the papers: there is an unusual fast change in temperature, co2 concentrations and ocean pH value. since the number of volcanic eruptions didn't spike and the sun is quite silent, no natural source of those changes were found. thus there is a possibility of an imbalance induced by mankind.
although many studies are carried out, no natural origin of those changes has been proven so far.
changes in all those values above wouldn't be critical at all, life is quite adaptive. it changes a few million species and continues on. our influence towards that is neglectible. there is just a chance that these changes may have negative influence on our lifestyle and wealth - thats why it became spreaded by mass-media and politics... usually we don't get this kind of attention while the work is still in progress
adressing the bitcoin stuff:
lets hope the asian maniacs crash the market down to 500, i want to buy some more bitcoins. but i would rather bet on a consolidation, followed by a massive rise by the end of the week. new money is incoming, fueling a new bubble?

When does the new fiat hit Bitstamp on Mondays? I don't think it's happened yet, has it? When it does, that would be the time to expect a rally to begin.

Too many people are waiting till the price drops. So the price never drops. And also never gets up. If you look at the order book on bitstamp, there are order with middle range five figures at 770$. And nobody is buying because they hope the price will go down. We will last in the 800´s forever
I sold at 820$ yesterday, bought back at 800$... You can play this game since 2 days. But the fees are ruining it. As I made 340$ with 17 coins and the price difference of 20$, they charged 140$ on fees. 200$ win is may be not bad but the risk is very high that something happens after you sold.
How do you have such a high fee? To trade about 20 BTC I pay a MAXIMUM of 30 Dollars...
I trade on stamp and they charge me 70$ for selling and 70$ for buying. Fee´s are 0,5% even though on the landing page of Bitstamp they say 0,2%.
Where do you trade? I need some alternative.
Bullshit-Bingo
Fee % 30 days USD volume
0.50% < $500
0.48% < $1,000
0.46% < $2,000
0.44% < $4,000
0.42% < $6,500
0.40% < $10,000

looks like a massive manipulation attempt.
first: 1500 dump on bitstamp, at the same time bitcointalk went down
it didn't crash the price
next: hack of bitfinex, 2000 dump on stamp
someone desperatily wants the price to plummet down to slaughter sheeps in the resulting panic

Apple bans blockchain app
Russians planning on outlawing BTC
Huge orchestrated dumping across exchanges
Gox finally shutting down BTC withdrawal
Lots of reasons for this dump today
and absolutely nothing of this list happened "out of a sudden".

Fact: BTCGuild gives a statement about fake mails sent from their adress to emails belonging to BitStamp-Users
BitStamp freezes some Accounts, independet of 2FA.
-->
a) there was a hack attempt and someone got data from bitstamp (mail adress etc)
b) Stamp detected login-attempts from foreign IP's (user A logs in from US everytime - today he logs in from india) and disabled btc withdrawal on these accounts to prevent fraud on the users due to compromised mail-accounts

nah, now you are just plappering the stuff the lobbyists want you to think. gm and co failed because they didn't adapt to the changing market, not because labor was too expensive. in fact, if they pay their workers a good wage, they will buy new cars instead of used ones and will buy them more often instead of driving them until they are worth only the scrap-metal price.
look at countries with real worker unions, eg. germany. didn't got the notion that they are completely inable to deal on an international scale and compete in both, prices and quality.
i still just don't get it that people really believe this stuff. "hey, we need to pay you less, so we can grow each year and satisfy the investors." basically they are just moving money from your pocket (reduced wage) into the pockets of the billionaires (artificial growth by lowering production cost -> thus higher share value and dividends). to someone as sophisticated as this audience (more or less into investment) it should be plainly obvious.

sorry, no "country" has yet participated significantly to the bitcoin price.
whenever i ask around in germany, i get the same answer: "well, i read about bitcoin in the online-news magazines. it is this computer nerd / hacker stuff, right?"
persons i asked can all be accounted as tech savvy, usually ph.d. students with high affinity to new, fancy technology.
none of them has ever thought of buying bitcoin, yet. adoption rate in my circles should be around 0.1%. left alone the group of more "average joes".
lets talk about significant contribution when a country reaches 1% adoption... but this is still far beyond the horizon

finally
the faster the trade moves to proper, regulated exchanges, the better the long term possibilities (my opinion)
btw: to grab up one of the early ideas about bitcoin: it was once designed to be unban-able, would be really fascinating to see how it turns out.
