aorn, the Yuan/USD BTC price ratio has stabilized at around 6.5 to 7.0,
much closer to Forex's 6.1 Yuan/USD.
As opposed to 3-4 days ago the Yuan/USD BTC price ratio was about 9+!
I don't believe it's a bubble... 650-750 will be defined as a stable floor for BTC.

$890 on Gox, I'm predicting it to go tumbling down again towards $700 once it gets briefly over $900, I hope I'm wrong!
I would expect a correction more to 800-825.
5.9 CHY/USD thru Bitcoin, 6.1 CHY/USD thru Forex, aorn.
So, BTC NOT favorable to Chinese buyers for now...

How about a bounce to 1000 then to 400 and then to 2000?

well, I did a .25 BTC spew @ Seals, so it would help.

LOL Don't you mean $.01?

Would it of been that easy if you had to purchase the Bitcoins first?
Woulda taken hella longer now.
My gut feeling is that will change over time.
Typically 4 me, fiat transfer, from check or electonic deposit [I'm on SSI, have used both] to available account funds, is 1-2 business days.
Cash xfer to usable Bitcoin, about 4-5 business days [unsure of e-transfer yet, such as Western Union or Paypal, I'll try it later this year]
Fiat has stayed the same time frame for 2 decades+.
There IS room for improvement for BTC... but I see it evolving into same-day [or max, <1 business day] xfers,
and as instantaneous as EBT/debit cards.
Even when mined to full maturity, the fee savings for sellers, v. debit/credit cards, is enormous.
Keep in mind that MasterCard, Visa, Discover, etc. have built HUGE MULTI-NATIONAL companies
on those fees,
not to mention the loan-shark interest they're allowed to gouge unsuspecting
consumers with [thanks to influential Congressional lobbying].
I give it 5 years.
Do you REALLY think they'll be able to replace Petrodollars w/ yuan, yen, rubles, gold, or silver?
nahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Gawd how annoying. VOIP to my landline, Coinbase's screen sez it's calling me, it ain't...Coinbase | Feb 11, 2014 05:11AM PST
I'm sorry for the trouble! There are a few reasons why identity verification may have failed - It's possible that
if you have recently moved, received a new Social Security Number, or had any other recent change in your identifying information,[I haven't, you dorks]we would be unable to successfully verify your identity. Additionally, if you reside outside the U.S. or don't have a Social Security Number, you'll be unable to complete verification. Unfortunately at this time providing this information is the only mechanism we have in place to verify your identity. Keep in mind you can retry verification every 24 hours, and can still purchase up to 10 bitcoin per day without being verified. Hope that explains it - thanks for bearing with us!
Fucking verification. I just wanna check my balance, chucklefucks.Yes, Coinbase is WAY MORE RELIABLE than Gox. But damn, try logging into them sometimes...

No Fees This Week When Buying Bitcoin with Euros
One of the main benefits of bitcoin is that it allows people to take control of their own wealth. Recent events in Greece have brought attention to this situation as the Greek banks have closed and limited customers to withdrawing 60 Euros per day.
We feel that all Europeans should educate themselves on the benefit of using a global currency that is not controlled by any particular country or company. As part of our effort to make it easy for anyone to buy and sell bitcoin all over the world, we’re pleased to announce that for the next week Coinbase customers buying and selling bitcoin with Euros will have their fees waived.
To get started click here to learn more about buying bitcoin with Euros. From there you can store them on Coinbase (see our multisig wallet if you’d like to be in full control of your funds) or transfer them to any other bitcoin wallet.
Note: This offer is available through the end of day on July 5th (11:59 Pacific time). This offers applies to bitcoin bought and sold on Coinbase.com and excludes Coinbase Exchange. Coinbase offers customers the ability to buy and sell bitcoin with Euros in the following countries: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.

Come buy our chit and get Merkel's panties in a bunch LOL.

As I mentioned earlier, re: my online pokering.
Hey, a little rise is fine, but a
batshit run to 400-600 wouldn't be in my best interest.

But what benefit would (monetary) metal have compared to crypto? I only see downsides
It's a handy edge if and when the power grid craps out.
Yeah, cell phones & tablets are portable and have batteries... but those batteries can't get charged off the grid [solar]

Gradually, this will change for the better-but slowly.

I'd like to think we're never seeing $230 again, except for freak occurrences.
I'll be happy @ 265 for awhile, I might wanna reload @ betcoin.
Hmm, while I'm here...
Any1 ever try purchasing BTC @ Coinbase [or any other service/wallet] thru PayPal?
It would save me trips in and out of my checking account [we're talking < 100$ transaction here]

FU, I wanted to reload @ Bitcoin, LOL.
Curious... what was the cause of this bump-up?
refugees?
Trump?

Putin?

China's man-made island dropping in value?

Saudi Arabia thrusting headlong into bankruptcy? [most likely scenario... scary, huh?]
Inquiring minds wanna know. I like buying with justification, esp. w/ semi-monopoly money.
And UNTIL PayPal/etc. accepts on-the-fly, BTC REMAINS semi-monopoly money 2 me.

gov. don't have asking this to the people because they can create DEBT from the people without asking.
So... France has an INTER-DIMENSIONAL PORTAL that can jump them to Syria and Africa to kill people and yank out migrants and plutonium?I got news 4 you, camel boy... France merely
purchased those resources.
The human migration is being stirred up by the EU and ISIS to support the New World Order.

Yeah, that's what I've been doing. Paying my debts on time. Does that sound like an unusual concept 2 u?
For more than a few people, I'm afraid so.
They couldn't keep airing those Discover card ads if the majority of consumers had a clue.

The scary part: the only substance I know of transported by rail that would cause mondo tanker suck like that is oleum,
In a form also known as cryogenic sulfuric acid.
Commonly used as a crude oil refining catalyst:
