Yep, after that... this could potentially take us back all the way to test $50 again, maybe even $40. It would be the buying opportunity of the lifetime if we climb again after that,
Yes. If you buy low and the price climbs after that, it will have been a buying opportunity. If not, then not.

Nothing's impossible. Bitcoin could be trading for $10, $50, $100 or even higher over the next few months.
That's wrong. Everything's impossible, except the one and only possible past and future. There is only one world. Possibilities are existing in our brains only.

The scientific consensus on quantum theory disagrees with you on that.
No, the quantum world has also
one past only.

You forgot one thing. They did it in the middle of the night on a WEEKEND.
Great test...
In the middle of the night? Do you think the Earth is flat?

Congratulations, you just rolled back about a century of physics.
A century of BS-physics. But I know, some QM 'physicists' (not all !) do indeed believe, that there are 'possibilities' for the past and the future.

I was referring to the "future" part of your claim.
That's the same. There is only one past and one future.

What is likely going to be the bottom? 64? 80? 103? 110? 113?
0.0001? 0.001? 0.01? 0.1? 1?

Nope. Mr. Manip only strikes twice in a row. The third time would be otherwise too easily predictable
I expect next wash-rinse-repeat cycle from him in no less than 6 weeks - like when the memories of his distinctive pattern will have faded enough.
Kinda with you on that ... I will be surprised to see the a big Sunday dump this week and am expecting him to stay away a while
But then again, Bitcoin does like surprises ... hmmm <scrathces chin thoughtfully>
It will take one pre-emptive dumper to trigger hell
Bitcoin can go any way at this point; The oppostite is also true,
One big buyer can trigger an uptrend now.
No, it can go one way only, but you don't know which one it will be.

Hype is dying, interest is dying, people are leaving. Such is the long, drawn out process of deflating a bubble.
It's visible in all indicators, USD leaving the market, google trends, your node stats, r/bitcoin, even bitcointalk.
What about this indicator:

Anyone know what's the deal is with Coinbase? Their price is running about $25 over bitstamp right now, which is by far the furthest I've seen them spread. Usually they're pegged right within a dollar or two of stamp as that's where they do all their orders from (at least, that was the common assumption). Very odd that they've been sitting between 695-700 while stamp hovers around 670-675.
Anyone know what's going on there?
Obviously its Americans who are buying the fuck out of bitcoin. Kinda pisses me off that this spread reaches it's peak when I want to be buying and when I pulled the last of my coins out of Gox, the spread was the other way so I lose the spread every fucking time. But make no mistake, it's supply and demand and the yanks are coming.
Coinbase account holders have access to our bank accounts and can buy all we want and we're obviously buying the hell out of this drop. Once again, we have to bail out Europe and the rest of the world. Getting to be a habit. You ungrateful bastards can still suck it when the dollar fails and we still get to keep world reserve currency status!
In Europe, we have an exchange, we have ATMs and there are several European countries with greater adoption per capita. Check sourceforge.
Once again, we have to bail out Europe and the rest of the world.

From Nazis, Commies, etc. Those crosses on the cliffs over Normandy aren't just landscaping.
Haha. You mean Wallstreet bailed out? Those who create the monsters are those who save the world from it?
Sutton's next three major published books Wall Street and the Bolshevik Revolution, Wall Street and the Rise of Hitler and Wall Street and FDR detailed Wall Street's involvement in the Bolshevik Revolution (in order to destroy Russia as an economic competitor and turn it into "a captive market and a technical colony to be exploited by a few high-powered American financiers and the corporations under their control"[3]) as well as its decisive contributions to the rise of Adolf Hitler and Franklin Delano Roosevelt, whose policies he assessed as being essentially the same, namely "corporate socialism" planned by the big corporations.[4] Sutton concluded that this was all part of the economic power elites' "long-range program of nurturing collectivism"[1] and fostering "corporate socialism" in order to ensure "monopoly acquisition of wealth", because it "would fade away if it were exposed to the activity of a free market".http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antony_C._Sutton

Selling? Are you crazy?
Please go away or stay at home with your stories about history that you were told by your state (terrorists).
A state that has been involved in more than one hundred wars in its short career.

LOL. You can say what you want about us yanks, but tonight, the line was held by Americans at Coinbase. I probably hate my government worse than you do, but I've never been more proud of my countrymen.
Yes, because you are a countryman, a nationalist, a collectivist.
I don't know the future, but if I have anything to do with it, we'll be taking the lead from here.
You are a 'we'-man, a collectivist.
Sell your coins at a $30 loss if you want. Courage wouldn't mean anything if everybody had it.

Anyone an idea about what triggered this mass buy?
3d MACD crossed, bots buying
Probably just a load of orders triggered at 500. Still feels like a pump and dump to me. Again.

Why did they close down the old thread in the first place? It used to be a nice place to collect info. Anyone knows specifics?
Yeah, such a shame. That was about the only thread i actually read together with Masterluc's en Klee's thread.
Bitcointalk is not doing good these days. Trolls are allowed but cypher gets censored.
all this time we were worried about central control systems from outside but it turns out they are like cancer they grow from within.
Yes, unbelievable but true.

Yes, and since there is an alt implementation on the market that is ready for the transaction explosion, the market turned bullish.
As soon as it is necessary to run a big block implementation, the miners will switch.

"Lost"
Bitcoin XT was around well before BIP-101 and, those that found it useful (of whom I am not one, FWIW) will no doubt continue to use some incarnation of it, whatever happens.
Meanwhile, BIP-101 is out there and has forced the issue of actually addressing the blocksize instead of hoping nobody notices that we're heading toward a brick wall and the guy who runs the repair shop has not been servicing the brakes.
As a bonus, the idea that the core developers maybe should not be the centralized keepers of the keys to the kingdom has been brought into the consciousness.
Before you declare "won" or "lost" be sure you know which game you're playing.
Exactly

Fears of centralization are real, fear of 3 tps being a huge bottleneck are real.
Calling large miners centralized is like saying Kenya rigs the Boston Marathon. Bitcoin needs to be competitive. Should they limit the run to only white middle-class factory workers from Peoria? Watching them drop dead from heart attacks wouldn't be much fun, nor does watching blocks take days to process and get dropped. You can't make rules that exclude people because they are good at what they do.

this shorter is going all in
What shorter? There's only 9300 BTC swaps on BFX. It's just a seller.
BTW, thanks bulls. I just made so much money shorting today, that I can dump again if you wanna take another swipe at $420.
So you opened you're just when exactly? When we busted through 380? 400?
I call BS
I started shorting @ $399 and kept shorting the whole way up. I could have shorted twice as much, but after covering @$380, I know have enough to safely short Three times as much if we come anywhere close to $420 again. I also transferred in some coins I was using for arbitrage just so I have some extra margin.
Try it again, Bulls. I double dare you. See if I'm bluffing.
dude you've really gone off the rails, sort yourself out.
first with all the big block crap and now this shorting shit ... you used to be a model bitcoiner, what happened to you?
Smallblockers happened to me. Scale or die.
[]chinawat
I strongly believe the block size increase problem is already solved. An implementation exists right now and only needs adoption. Should a more popular solution arise in the meantime, that will be adopted instead, but BIP 101 is like Bitcoin itself, it can't be uninvented.
[]Ant-n
Interresting point, I think your right,
(My anxiety level dropped a bit..)
[]solex1
Yes. I think the Bitcoin ecosystem will move to a big-blocks version whether Core updates or not.
However, there would be a lot more price volatility and bad publicity the longer Core Dev continues with the "settlement layer" fantasy.

Yeah we get it. We didn't reject it. We're "just not ready".
The Blockstream/core attack failed. Whether their implementation will be ready for the coming txs explosion or not is irrelevant.

Yeah my leveraged 20x long is making crazy profit right now. I cashed out 20% of it to keep me well in the green even if the other 80% gets eaten up on some out-of-the-woodwork selloff. This run up is sparking old memories
I have to go take care of some business for a few hours, but try to hit $480 before I return, okay guys?
Change your Moneros as long as you can get Bitcoins for it. Monero near alltime low now.

Alot of people are wishing they would of bought more in the $200 range. There is going to be alot more people wishing they would of bought in the $300 range after the halving boom. Believe me, its coming.
correct.
Yes, if they will raise the limit. If they refuse, a boom won't be possible.

The key thing the Stolfinator doesn't understand about being a socialist is, one man's free stuff is another man's indentured servitude. He keeps preaching this "more just society" nonsense while supporting a pro-slavery ideology.
Capitalists are collectivists as well, since they promote a market which is per se a state bastard. People who live beyond the state (rain forest) don't need a market. They don't trade with aliens. They are self-sufficient (anarchy).

Is it capitalism and a "free market" when banks fail and we pay the bill? It's bullshit, that's what it is.
Is it socialism when the governing oligarchy and their circle have extensive privileges over others?
The elite don't have economic ideologies. Economy is just one very important tool, out of many tools, to exercise global control. People fight over socialism, capitalism, and other 'ism's, when there are no such systems in existence. They are all bastard systems, customized to serve other agendas.
Yes. "Free market" is an oxymoron. There is no such thing. Free people who live beyond the state don't need a market. There is no such thing as a growing market/economy among ungoverned people in the rain forest.
