The drop was before the auction, when the coins suddenly moved and no one knew what was happening. When the auction was announced prices recovered

Yeah, everyone's just dying to get at your precious BTCeanie BTCabies Bitcoin

Price is broke.

Someone go shake the machine a little.

Hmm surprised we don't have a more definitive winner list, or speculation going on. I caught a stomach virus so after 5:20pm est I had to sleep some pain off. Woke at 3am to an upset stomach but a rather stable looking market. Think we have to wait till Monday to get our info?a weekend full of cryptic tweets

Yeah 300btc to each company that goes through his son Adam's Boost VC program. I wonder if they're primarily bitcoin enterprises or just starting to build business via btc injection rather then the cash style.

He has clearly stated that he bought his coins to provide liquidity to several of the Bitcoin-based startups he is backing.

He didn't buy his coins to sell them. He bought them to use them.

If indeed he only bought 2000 coins this time, he'll need to buy more to meet his needs. The last thing he'd want to do is buy them at an exchange though.

The majority of people think that the price will pass $390 on Monday, we'll see

Tru dat

Sure is a lot of nonsense here these days

Thanks y'all for letting me almost double my short position with that little run up to $382. Pattern recognition is one of the components of intelligence, but some of you bastards can't even see the pattern after I point it out to you. If enough of you bastards don't short with me, then we won't have enough money to hold the ~$300 bottom and this damn bear market will drag out for another few months.

We have to hold the retest that's prolly coming. The next bubble will prolly take us to $4,000 or higher, so there will be plenty of time to jump on the train if we miss the first stop.

I'm a long term bull and hodler. My short is a hedge bet but if you fuckers get wiped out going margin long before the double bottom, I'll laugh my ass of while spending your money.

Hoping for some bull whale to save you is a poor investment strategy.

Not at all - your summary reminded me of that gif ... we got a mexican stand of goin on. Bullls and bears staring each other out ...
Glad you liked it 

I can't speak for the rest but as long as you don't post BS in some annoying and pointless attempt to manipulate the mood/price I have no problem with you thinking out loud (and it would be in writing so it's not that loud anyways).

I never said that you did. I'm no emoticon-wiz so I don't know how to communicate that there is no hidden motive in my message (and I hate using emoticons), but you seemed apologetic about the content of some of your posts so I thought I would let you know that I at least am fine with them.

hey guys

cheap coins you guys. after that, of course moon, seriously you guys. this time for sure.

guys?

 

Actually didn't it reach a dime about 4 years ago when it was almost 2 years old?

...3,600 coins being created daily and a horrific bear market the price is still ~$350 dollars.

most likely put on hold and waiting for santa

dont you believe santa

I think this is perfect time to invest in bitcoin. I mean, all bigger companies have started accepting bitcoin, price is stable as much is it possible...I think from now it can only go up. But that is just a my opinion.

Last year ? Come on, LOL. Difficulty has gone up like 3000% since then.

I guess you haven´t noticed how the more the price of what is being produced (BTC)

tanks the more resources are being put into producing it ?

This is called inverse correlation

The only way this business model makes sense for producers

is that they´re constantly short their own product. Obviously.

In other words, it´s some sort of a scam. A ponzi scheme if you will.

If you constantly throw increasing production capacity at a product

that keeps falling in price you have to hedge by selling the product

short. Otherwise how can the scheme keep going ?

Because profiting from a ponzi is guaranteed, as long as you manage to get out before the rubes catch on?

If Joe Sixpack suddenly had to estimate the width of Kim Kardashian´s ass

in centimeters rather than inches there would probably be a revolution in

the land. So I wouldn´t really count on them as authority.

I didn't say that bitcoin was a ponzi, just explained why a reasonable person would invest in one.  Bitcoin is more of a pyramid scheme.
Not sure what people taking BTC for coffee has to do with this.

Whoa there.  A ponzi is a pyramid scheme created by a malefactor.
A pyramid scheme is any scheme in which early adopters profit only if new money keeps coming in.  I don't think you want to argue that Bitcoin's price can grow without influx of new money - bitcoin doesn't produce anything other than more bitcoins and heat.

I have already explained why a rational player would invest in a pyramid scheme (buy BTC at the auction), but I'll do it again:

1. Buy BTC below market at auction.
2. Sell on exchanges at market.
3. Profit.

this market is unpredictable (to me) anyway

all my data said retest of bottom or lower...now it looks like we will go high soon...

bears are not posting atm...which they usually dont if we go up...i guess it depended on the attempt to break 200 significantly again (which failed)

i dont know

but the karpeles "news" are really funny...

i take half of my available money (only a few hundred €) and invest it now...

if we go up i'll take the other half and will have fun this weekend
if we go down i'll buy more

Stolen from another thread. 

Anybody have any experience with binary options trading? (with helping programs that tells you what to do)
Seems too good to be true if it is that easy.

who's the fat twitter guy people have been posting about?

Trust me, this thread would be so much better with the always cynical and realistic intelligent bears as leaders. Fortunately, this under-performing-almost-unusable BitTulip token currency is going back where it belongs. Two digits and a Sterling Deluxe Stainless Steel Casket.

Jezus christ, how can people write that quote without image.
Here, fixed it for you.

And there we go to 270$
People already dumping  

Remember kids, you are supposed to buy the actual breaks or resistance, not the tops after ridiculous parabolic rises, that's when you are supposed to GTFO  


Alternatively, you buy the rumour and sell the news. Work every time.

No, everyone sold on news because they want to make more profit on idiots that sell with them... How long You are in bitcoin ?

when bitcoin to 10k ?

More good news... Sell all!  

https://twitter.com/BitcoinTrust/status/559845831428554752

Good news for bitcoin, like always...

Page 11337?

Not quite the same as 1337 but I was here for that too.

I see we had a foolish 12k dump on Finex that dropped the price about 1%. LOL

Back to bed.

I will give you a reason > freshly mined coins.

So are we going to the moon or nowhere but down

I see indicators of both situations and I'm confuse

Chinese people. They poor.

The spring is being wound up tighter.

Bitcoins man...they keep getting cheaper and I keep getting richer.

If you have to ask, you don't get Bitcoin.

I'm disgusted by this




I'm on the verge of starting trading shitcoins again.

Please delete your account

after we hop over and consolidate above 260, we'll probably see a nice leg up to 300+

is this the last chance to get in cheap???

agree that, i think we will see 300 before march ?

300 in ~24-48 hours

┗(°0°)┛

bitcoin can rises 10 usd in just few minute, im sure its possible to can reach 50 usd in 48 hours.

Think weekend will correct.... Volume is up which is always nice.

on bitfinex:

shorts: around $5.2 millions
longs: around $17.5 millions


lel

Breaking 300$ soon?

I am buying now, it goes up and all the short can't get it down more than a few bucks. I predict a huge rise up in price Today or Tomorrow.

-snip img-

i would love to see the $1000 again, but with no reason i don't think so i'll rise again unless there's a pump lol

There are only a measly 30k-40k coins right now on the open market worth only $10 million at the current price. There are so many scenarios where entirely more than $10 million enters the market overnight. What happens to all the poor fools who wake up in the morning with their sell orders filled at $275 or even $500 and the current price at $1500?

you must have missed what adam guerbuez said: " the roller coaster that make the current previous roller coaster nothing" ....

The better fed the guru, the more reliable.

sometimes .....i talk trash just for heck of it .

When we look 2 years ahead in Bitcoin it could just as well be 200 years. I voted what I wanted to happen, I think most did.

So how do we know that some whale or whales weren't planning on buying 50K coins or more on the open market and instead are buying them at auction? In other words, How do we know that this sale isn't already priced into the market? It's not like this auction is a surprise or anything.

Anyone putting up this kind of capital is a serious invester.  No one is going to buy these and dump them right away.

Lol. I am amazed to see people voting yes for $32000+ in 2017.

Nope, it is a regular chinese wash volume spike, they just wanna hold the price before a major dump on monday.

I think they were bought at ~180-200$, so there will be a dump. Even Draper hinted that he has bought his stash below market, but fools cannot learn that there always was a huge dump after every past auction.

Just wait until monday and you will see what is going to happen after this yet another wash volume chinese fake "pump".

Where the trolls at?

3.7k coins to 300 on finex. Someone put some money on bitstamp quick!

I have no doubt they'll return when we drop 10-20 USD at some point declaring the end of BTC or single digit coins.

I said a 10-20 dollar drop in price will bring the trolls back.
Not 1 BTC = 10-20 USD.
That'll never happen.

Just set an alarm for above 300$ and under 290$

Ok I feel a bit better knowing I'm bit the only one feeling like this.

A lot of people cashed out last night and today and the exchange was more margin longs at a higher interest rate. 

Daily On Balance Volume line breaks above resistance

Volume leads price

- img snip -

Loaded is a multimillionaire. And so are his friends and investors. If you think he can't push up the price because he already has tons of bitcoins, and all of his and his friends money are already in bitcoin, then you are dumb.

We are moving up so fucking deal with it, and quit trying to make an excuse for every bit of good news just because you shorted or sold at the bottom.

Maybe because the other were too competitive. The auction coins got split into 3 parts ao you don't know if he got some part or not.

I believe that real pump will start when we break 300

i hope you were right... seem price  is stable atm.

 

Looking good. Bitcoin has been increasingly convincing since the first week of February or so. Seems like very solid support around 250 now. Good luck, g

...
This is why forums have moderators. They should do their job and help keep this forum clean of this kind of troll spam.

can we get back to bitcoin price movement pls ?    

--- img snip ---

thats it!

no more BS from this post on.

 

yeah, well...I had to come back, got a call from a delusional bull. he is hoping to push this up on no or low volume. really annoying.

how's your long doing? still hoping to see 260, yes?

Everyone get ready for the April Fools' Pump today!

Who da fuck makes this new shitty account with moronic nicks just to post some pic?!
Do you have life bitch?
Everyday I see one or few new.
Ignore!!!!

$255 is breaking but it needs more volume. I wouldn't trade against this little rise.
$275-$280 is a possibility for this pump if it continues.










Asks on almost all exchanges going down for now (usually means the pump is not over), bids increasing a little but overall still very low.
So in the larger picture is still bearish IMHO .-.

that big fat red candle is the reason why you will not break 255.

a whale just got fucked.

good luck bulls!

hi bitcoiner!

is it?

amazing!

not true.

I was skeptic, but I didnt sell or short back then.

now I say fuck you.

I have my...reasons.

I think this thing has serious fundamental flaws, interest of general public is going down, many black market scams, many mining scams, centralization of the network, legislation problems, branding problem...and many many more.

but the best and most accurate indicator are bulls talking about bull market starting after a low volume rise to 298.

general public? you call a community of nerds, die hard speculators doing 20 x leverage, libertards, drug lords and scammers general public? no, dude.

general public = average joe.

those mentioned in my posts are not by any means average.

Lots more shorters coming out the woodwork!

no, it's not about bans.

it's about the inability of average joe to use this thing.

ftfy

Too late. As usual, a $2 dip and they're braying like donkeys.

That's enough for me for tonight. Off to bed.

Regardless of BTC price, Satoishi's social experiment--introduction of a digital currency eliminating the need of money processors and trusted third parties--is clearly a failure.

And it is clearly your fault

What am I doing here?  On a sub titled "Speculation," in a thread called "BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion"?  your question is subpar even for a Bitcoiner.

I'M SPECULATING IN BITCOIN.  I"M A MONEY CHANGER, TRADING BTC LIKE A RED-HEADED STEPCHILD, JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE HERE.

Now you know.

And therein lies the rub--no central authority to prevent people from using it however they wish.
Since Bitcoin lends itself so well to speculation, people will speculate.
Since its pseudonymity makes it a nearly ideal scamming instrument, that's what it will be used for.
Satoshi tried to make greed and selfishness of participants eliminate the need of a trusted third party.  You're asking us to disregard our basic tenets: "greed is good" & "Invisible Hand is the only regulator we need," and appealing to ...what, our civic duty?

anyone remember the web with the countdown to the halving?
Thanks

But they told me it was scientifically certain!?  They said it was because of maths and streisand effects?  Was I misled?

"An educated person is one who has learned that information almost always turns out to be at best incomplete and very often false, misleading, fictitious, mendacious - just dead wrong"

-Russell Baker

They said it was a sure thing, that nothing could go wrong!  How could this be happening to me?

Well thanks, a little to late to get my money back from Bitcoin, but I guess better late than never.
Sure learned my lesson about not trusting people.  Boy Howdy!

Good afternoon Bitcoinland.

Still going sideways in the $250s I see. Same old same old.
_______

Interesting thing happened to me last night. I was wearing my BTC cap onstage in one of the local bars when some young dude in the audience saw it and during our next break he approached me and struck up a conversation.

When he asked which mobile app I used, I pulled out my device to show him and he immediately scanned the QR code and gave me a 0.05btc tip.

Where I was playing that equaled almost 3 beers. Nice to see that some young people still appreciate rock&roll played on real instruments. Also nice to see Bitcoin being used in the real world.

Thanks bro.

mining cartels are not done yet to squeeze every dollar out of btc, you don't let go your golden chicken that easily, this will be a long painful drop to 0.

As far as I know, they are going to open it in May 2015 or so.

Does someone know when will Coinbase's exchange be open to international customers?

Attention shorters , on bitfinex there is only :

14,500 btc to $340
And only 1,000 btc more left till $1000

No Ask support for shorts..lel

CCMF 

.... If the price is being manipulated down, It's an opportunity to load up cheap. If the price is being manipulated up, GOOD! sell for profit.

Only $500K away from $260. Let's do this bulls!

That'd be like pissing in the wind. Looks like the sideways until some news, 250-260. I think any move to the upside will be using initial trading of GBTC as a catalyst. The complete lack of volume and downward drift, with occasional pumps up and drifting down, feels like probability of dumpage if that doesn't happen soon. The bid book is flush if a whale wants to exit here.

Since this is the Wall Observer:
1000 BTC ask-wall has appeared on Finex a minute ago at $245.01 and another 500 BTC wall at $245.51. Now there's a 246 BTC wall at $246 (sic)!

Bid-wall, sorry. This feels like confusing left and right, to be honest
Well, we seem to have gone up a bit but the rally seems to be off for the time being

give up and rejoy already..

cheap coins coming

Only 3k coins from 234 to 218...

Not true. Two market buys like the market sell earlier and we would break out of the downtrend.

There has been no news today. Just a whale moving the price down isn't it?

Moon confirmed! 

We're going to the moon, We're going to the moon, We're going to the moon, We're going to the moon.



We're going to the moon, We're going to the moon, We're going to the moon, We're going to the moon.

This ain't a stock so I'm thinking: we can't be much more than $250 from the bottom, and then it's up!

and from $600 and above!! 

Holding all the way down.
Buying 2 BTC a month atm.
Might increase that depending how low we go.

Don't mistake hodling for bagholding. I held my coins when the price was 170 with no regrets. I can wait.
The low stable price of Bitcoin is somewhere between $200 and $230 and we'll be probably crossing this line more than once this year.

Patience is a virtue; BTC has proved itself quite resilient and robust so far. Imagine yourselves when the price inclines again towards the next bubble if you've sold around these prices. I've once sold 30BTCs at $10. I've decided that I won't be doing this thing again...

I think you are exactly the kind of person who is in Bitcoin from wrong reasons...Bitcoin is not about the price in its infancy, it's about community and choice to use something else than fiat if you don't want...people with your thinking are part of the reason, that Bitcoin is not yet in ''moon''...everyone wants to get quick rich and overnight and don't give nothing back to the community or the Bitcoin itself...so you can't convert honor in fiat, but you can help Bitcoin network / community by adding your time in any way or just simply buy the coins so the coins are more valuable...you can look in the mirror and ask yourselve: did i donate to any projects on Lighthouse? Did i invest some time in promoting BTC in your country / city / neighberhood ? Or am i just trolling this forum?

EDIT: this is what i meant with the picture...

I see Bitcoin already at $120

as per what people used to write on the forum few weeks ago, to wait for the 14th of april, i was wishing the price would rise. but apparently its going on the reverse side. its not going to rise soon, and since 2016 is going to be another halving, i think we might be in for a good duration of low price for bitcoins.

fractional-reserve inflation at work:
