Looks like Gox might be down for the moment. Guess we'll see if tomorrow allows this rally to continue.
Seems to be working OK here

So, those 0.01 - 0.04 tiny bids are back. Can someone smarter than me explain the reasoning behind that? I realise it's bots, and for some sort of manipulation, but what are they attempting to achieve?

It is not an oxymoron. It is just plain wrong. Deafing silance is an oxymoron.
If only "silance" was a word...
Or "deafing"

All I have to say is that I picked the wrong day to leave my Yubikey at home . . .
why not use google authenticator to login to mtgox with your android phone
yes, and start punching in those private keys.
You know you can enable both at the same time to use them redundantly right?
The only time that I need my Yubi is to withdraw from the account.
Where you do enable Google Auth on the Gox site? I can't see it under Security Center...

And I don't see Michael or the others folks with dozens of thousands babbling about their "influence" in the BTC world like you do.
What exactly is wrong with you?? I never said I am something great. I am a messenger. That I said in the beginning and it still holds. I am one supernode, likely among the 400 bitcoin richest people in the world.
Ok, I'm a bit over this. Either prove it (sign a message with an address holding most of your coins), or shut up about it.

This bad news really has damaged things from a TA point of view. I think that if the price doesn't crash, despite breaking significant supports, that it will rally up.
What bad news? (Sorry, I've been away)

And... this recent price increase to $950 is not representative of true growth in Bitcoin, it is being artificially pumped up.
Yes, but so what? What's your point? You seem to be annoyed that you didn't forsee that people would pump the price to $1000 (it's been on the cards since the start of the month), and now you just whinge every post when it goes higher. Sorry buddy but it was your choice to sell, and you chose a bad time. Such is life, learn from it. Maybe you'll get a chance to buy back in later, maybe you won't, but next time, just hold

You can't really be that much of an idiot to see that this is not a positive thing for Bitcoin. We want the value to grow organically, not because some bankers who bought all the bitcoins with their printing press decide to manipulate the entire Bitcoin market.
This has been the way of bitcoin since the start. It's hardly ever been organic growth. It has huge swings followed by periods of stagnation, that's just the way it is. The only question now is where it will settle again.
I see a lot of posts from.... people, wanting it to drop back to $300 so they can feel all smart and buy everything they can. Well sorry but you had your chance, and you missed it. It'll probably drop back at some point, it always does, but I doubt it'll fall anywhere near there. If you're lucky it'll drop to near where you sold so you can fix your mistake, but don't try and disguise your greed by getting all shitty at people pumping the price. That's bitcoin, get used to it.
tl;dr, you fucked up, live with it.

i need to learn how to hide my Capital Gains, should i dump it in BTC?
Dude, we have a $750k capital gains personal exemption here in Canada....use it.
I'm going to move to New Zealand (from Australia) for a year when I sell mine. Fuck giving 45% of my BTC to the government.
What's the deal in Aus anyway? How do they even know the money you recieve is Bitcoin related, or how long you've owned those coins (assuming the over one year - 50% cap gains applies)?

right, so I'm hoping that this is the dead cat bounce which might confirm that we reached the bottom, rather than a sucker's bull trap. Either way, I would be amazed if we don't revisit 500s by the end of the weekend
It should definitely be a bull trap, 80% chances for it to be a bull trap.
Your statistic has 87.34% chance of being bullshit.

Interestingly, I don't feel much fear, just indecision. And I came to the exchange after the April crash, so I was not through it the last time, but read quite a lot about it.
Take for example, the last hour. I woke up to 650. By the looks of it 500 was to be retested, so I set some buy orders there, and the market promptly jumped to 780!
I think I am going to cash out what I initially invested in direct bitcoin purchases and mining equipment, plus a small revenue bonus on top of that. The rest will be used to re-buy bitcoins at the next low.
That way I would recover everything what I could have lost, and will feel even more emotionally detached from my BTC holding.
Well your problem there is that you're trading and trying to predict the unpredictable. I learned long ago that this is a bad idea (at least for me, as I'm not all that great at it). All I do is hold, and occasionally accumulate where I see a bargain (like today). We may well drop lower this weekend and it may well stay low for a few months, but sooner or later we'll get a new ATH.
Gather a number of coins you're happy with, and stick them somewhere safe. You'll sleep much better at night not worrying about nightly swings

Hey, guys! I have an idea. Lets try to break $1000 for the third time in 36 hrs. Third time's a charm.
Is it just me, or does this guy sound desperate?
Maybe he bought at $1200
Sold at $1228. Bought at $610. Sold at $950. Why didn't I wait to sell higher? Because it isn't going higher until it goes lower. I am waiting for the retards to come out of their delusion and stop trying to buy up thinking they are headed toward $3000 any time soon. Anyone thinking we are still going higher is still under the euphoria of the mania that has burst. That is all this is, that is why the nonsensical push three consecutive times in 36 hrs to go to $1000 - they really believe it is going higher when there are like 1000 people all blowing their money over and over again with expensive coins.
Oh dear, fucked up again didn't we. Welcome to ignore.

They should however be scrutinized for constantly, blatantly (and badly) down ramping in a futile attempt to fix their trading errors.

My take: I don't buy it, epic bulltrap, next we go down. Maybe missing on a bull run but way too risky.
24h from now: "I still don't buy it, this is temporary, we're gonna go back down to the ATH"
I don't know if 24h from now the downtrend would have already started, but the uptrend would have already stopped for sure.
Probably worth backing off the definitive statements in this market. Generally doesn't end well.

And you're going to be eating crow AGAIN when your prediction (based on the past performance of bitcoin bubbles) comes up false.
How come I am so much richer than you if all I do is to handle money, and I do it so badly?
How old are you, 22?
EDIT: In addition you say that 2011 left you in disbelief and 2013 in euphoria. Ummmm...notice that those 2 bubbles ended completely different. And yes, I am a bubble behind you, but I am aware enough to know that this bubble and the last will end completely different too.
What were the differences in the bubbles' endings?
You know what, I'm pretty sick of your "I'm so much better and richer than you" argument constantly. Firstly, you don't know that. Secondly, you sound like a dick. Do you occasionally come out with something useful, yes (your savings plan made sense). But you also spout a hell of a lot of nonsense.

What you suggest to do now? Buy or wait?
yesterday I've tought to wait cause I was thinking that during the weekend (friday to monday)the price woud drop.....but now is not
There isn't one person here that can give any sort of rational answer to that. The only consensus is that within some months, the price will be higher. Buy now and wait it out whether it goes down or not, or wait until a clear trend is established so you don't have to see your investment worth less at some point. The risk being you end up with less BTC. Bitcoin will often do what no one expects, so trying to trade is just a gamble. No one has ever realized a loss by buying bitcoins. Many have given their money away in fear however, so my advise, is just buy and walk away for a few months. It may go down from here, but it also may go up, and in my opinion, that is a bigger risk.
Great post dude

The significance of all this is that if we trade in a range for a few weeks it is megabullish. And right now it looks like we are going to (at worst) trade at a high range 850-1050 than a lower range 650-850.
Simply amazing. I expected more out of the bears honestly.
So I am contemplating to reduce/leave the forum for a few months. I have also other projects. Thoughts?
Sounds like a plan.

I really believe that Risto is seriously trolling in here. It's virtually IMPOSSIBLE to predict ANYTHING for sure into such a system like BTC. A serious prediction of ANY chaotic system (not one like we're observing here, which may as well be the mother of all chaotic systems) would have been in the timeframe of minutes or hours at max, not days; nor weeks.
ANY data provided and calculated may as well be proved as right, also as wrong. If he managed to make it based onto his calculations it's good for him and may as well define a brand new IQ entity by himself. I seriously salute him! But I don't think he did it only because of them. Luck is a special and important factor in this.
Just saying (if you want theoretical proof I can also support what I've just typed).
I have a special kind of mind, it is quite simple, but it can calculate monetary probabilities very well. Somebody else may choke on his numbers, or shortcircuit and SHOUT that it is impossible to predict anything with certainty. Sure it is. Still some people win in poker and others don't.
I have a
simple model that shows (among others) that after bubble pop, as long as the price is 0.2 or more log-units over the trendline,
it is not possible to sell at a profit in 1-6 months timeframe. It is quite sobering: by selling at $628 today, the buyback at a
profit is guaranteed for many months to come.
Chances that the model ends up faulty (that despite their mutual differences, 2 previous bubbles have something intrinsic in common that the 3rd does not have) are 20-30%, which means that the odds are way in favor. With this kind of odds it is Kelly optimal to risk about 40% of your net worth.
Any doubts I had that you might have been as knowledgeable as you claim to be have just been washed away in one stroke.
Sadly your mind apparently cannot grasp the concept that in a chaotic, dynamic system, what happened in the past cannot be used to predict the future unless the circumstances are exactly the same.
Not to mention: it was far more likely that the two bubbles would show some mutual similarity (both being bubbles) than no similarity at all. But just because those similarities exist does not mean should be understood as anything more than stochastic noise; it could have just as easily been any other of the countless possible permutations that you would now be using to "guarantee profit".
I'm close to ignoring him to be honest. He's the type that says very little with a lot of words, but I doubt his sincerity and skills. And while he certainly spends a lot of time telling everyone how much money he has, I've seen no evidence of that. I have however seen that picture of him posing in front of someone else's Rolls Royce and pretending it's his.
Maybe he has rich friends, but hey, there are a hell of a lot of new rich people in the world as of the last few months, many of us in this thread included.
I don't pander to ego generally. It annoys me. And it's often those who spend so long telling everyone how amazing they are that are end up being quite the opposite in reality.
Less big man talk, and if you want people to actually pay attention to what you say, give them a reason to.

Rpietila is extremely confident in his opinions until they are wrong and then he quickly dismisses them without explanation.
So he has it in his head that we are going to go to 300-500 on this "bear" market. I think he is very short sighted as usually on these matters and he thinks I am in the "denial" phase. Of course, its hard to deny something that I know is a "possibility" which 300-500 is. Its just not a likely possibility without really bad news.
Rpietila is not a brilliant as many give him credit for, but the average IQ of the forum in general is at a level that is easily impressed. I think Rpietila thinks this will unwind like April and I just absolutely disagree. This feels completely different than April to me.
We'll see. At least we both agree that we are headed to 10k soon enough.
At least we don't have to hear from him for a while, assuming he sticks to his word

I'm just holding through this. Got no problem with price going way down, I'm in this for the long haul. Actually got more fiat coming in tomorrow, so I look at this as just a good opportunity to increase my position.

Why do you guys so vehemently commit to buy and hold, only to blow it when it's at the very bottom and sell?
Not all of us do that
When I say I'm holding, I'm holding. I'm not dumb enough (nor good enough) to attempt to sell at the top and buy at the bottom, it's a fools game.

Then you have balls of steel or enough money to not panic. The idea is you want to stick to buy and hold, so put yourself in a position where you won't feel the need to abandon your plan because you need to pay your bills or whatever. If you can buy and hold without panic even without having taken that profit first, and that's what you want to do, then my advice would not apply to you.
Well it's mostly just because I've been around Bitcoin a long time, and I've been through this several times already. After the second "crash" I find it just doesn't worry me as much anymore. I have faith in the protocol long term, so the odd day/week/month of the price dropping or languishing doesn't really faze me.
Plus, I have a solid job and I'm not particularly in dire need of cash, so yeah that helps

No it's a fool's game to think it's a fool's game. Myself and many others continue to increase our BTC holdings with your "fool's game".

We are going to correct soon, imo. This is unsustainable. Unless masses of new fiat hit the exchanges tomorrow, there is going to be a snapback. If we blow through ATHs like butter, I will be as shocked as anyone.
Unless there is a legitimate reason for this climb besides panic buying, I agree.
Zynga is a legitimate reason enough.

It's not so much about "should" as having clear terms for the escrow provider.

Hence he would then sell 'still' high, buy back at 750 and get an extra 7 or 8 coins?!

I would shoot for around 700-750 range 500 is deff posible though
Since you denied the previous bet , now that the snowstorm passed , are you willing to take one for the 500?
I did not purp
I did puposefully denied the bet, will still take at 750... no 500 is a little low
At the original timeframe, sure. So a little under 24 hours left right?

Doesn't matter about the escrow of course. Our honesty doesn't rely on an escrow. If by tomorrow at 07:02:14 PM (GMT +1) the price has touched $750 on GOX I will send you 1 BTC. I expect you to send me 1 BTC if this has not happened. This is all as agreed yesterday. Thanks.

There is no "just talk" when it comes to making a bet. If you confirm that you really mean it - you mean it.
Matthew Wright got a scammer tag for something similar.
With that said, I wouldn't take any bet as a real thing until escrow was achieved. A person should stick to their word though.
He quoted T.Stuart's post indicating that he accepted the "gentleman's agreement" to send the 1BTC without escrow at the cutoff.
At the very least, he should get a scammer tag, as Matthew did. Otherwise where's the consistency?
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=178336.msg4376376#msg4376376Though as far as I can tell he's had an extra 24 hours over his originally stated cutoff anyway, so he's quite late paying up
