should i sell my bitcoins for xrp? is that what you are telling me? that sounds pretty dangerous.

yeah true. i think i remember, didnt they say this same thing like earlier this year? i could have sworn...but yeah even ebay cant deny the beast.

Gox just pushed up to 227.30 .... and the show continues! got my popcorn and everything

i was all pumped about the price movement but you guys are really depressing the hell out of me up in here, damn

just throwing this out there, because i've been seeing you post a lot. ~ five days ago, you said:
let's not pat ourselves too hard on the back, now....

i for one am a big mah87 fan. he loves ripple xrp and carries a very big bag. he provides more entertainment value than people give him credit for

happens to me, although usually they appear correct at first, but then it appears laggy, so i reload and all the buy and sell arrows are then mixed together. bitcoinity is very buggy unfortunately. 

yikes! bit of a correction here. 

......aaaaaand that was quick. LOL:

are there any types of sites that show total volume across major exchanges? curious what volume looks like vs april.

thanks. interesting, not exactly what i expected to see.

.....so should i be buying? i sold some last night and hit one of my buy targets on the way down. not sure if i should keep holding dollars or get back all in... decisions, decisions..... 

youre not actually illustrating what you are saying. can you show us why it is not like 2012? you can't see price action in 2012 on that graph.

still overbought on stochastic, rsi and money flow index..... stoch rsi just dipped under overbought conditions, but nowhere near oversold..... we have a ways to go before oversold, in my opinion.

anyone notice any outgoing coins from some of the big holders?    ...i have no idea what to make of it either. seems like some might big spiking going on there. i wonder what's going on.

ive always been bothered by the way bitstamp matches trades and ive had one order "skipped" and never filled even though the price showed as going lower. i dont trade there anymore as a result.

fyi "America" does not mean "United States"..... just thought you should know, as long as we are on this topic 

when my bid didnt fill and should have, i had to go on and chase price up so yeah i lost money, fuck bitstamp

cant be sure this isnt the epic bull trap that would be expected after the "pop"....wont know until we see a local top and then see where it bounces....

oh? because the bolded made it pretty clear to me. so when you say "America" here, you mean to say that Central Americans, South Americans, Brazilians -- are arrogant like people in your country?

what does socialism/entitlement have to do with arrogance? do you have the experience to believe what you say, or do you just make generalizations based on some right libertarian perspective of political system?

u.s. = fuck the poor, dick ride corporations. and u.s. has some of most arrogant people in the world, no question. so what does socialist context have to do with it?

a handout? talk to me when corporations destroy your homeland, make your air unbreathable, destroy your rain forests and kill off your wildlife, all the while paying workers less and less and less? one of the reasons education systems continue to crumble is due to widespread corporate tax avoidance. they take and take and destroy our cultures bit by bit, and it's handout when we say things must change, else they must pay for the privilege? the game was rigged from the start -- fuck a handout. that term is inappropriate when the game was rigged against the poor.

having an opinion that may differ from yours regarding the limits of human dignity and of theft/exploitation, does not make a person arrogant. it is a difference of opinion. arrogance has to due with perception of one's own importance. if one favors equality, to whatever extent, that indicates the polar opposite -- that the importance of others equals their own. in other words, you are very much misusing the word.

corporations have not stripped u.s. bare, not nearly like elsewhere in the world. if you believe that, then i understand why you hold these opinions -- being from the u.s., whose corporations and government have bled the rest of the world far, far, far more than you and yours. more than you can probably imagine, from the sound of it.

i do not support statism. but i don't cater to this "two wrongs don't make a right" bullshit either. when people have been stolen from for years and generations, i do not judge them for trying to take a piece back. i find that right libertarians say to me, "sure, we agree, fuck the state. but everything that was taken from you as a result? it's for the rich now (who profited from the state), now go pull yourself up by the bootstraps." fuck that. are Palestinians arrogant for protesting the repeated theft of their land? once Israeli settlers take to such land, it becomes theirs, in their eyes. Palestinians are arrogant for feeling entitled to what was stolen from them? i imagine you say yes.

thinking that the whole of humanity is important enough that we rise up against the few that oppress us, again, is not arrogant in the least. even right libertarians would support such a notion, i would think. arrogance is about self-importance, self-entitlement. socialism has never been about that, except maybe for people in the u.s listening to repulicans. i imagine the people who want "government handouts" in the u.s. don't even know what socialism entails. they are just poor.

the "arrogance" of people in the u.s. has absolutely nothing to do with this. when people complain about people from the u.s., it is generally because they hardly recognize the rest of the world exists, and think they are superior to everyone else. this is very far removed from what you are suggesting about the "arrogance" of others. again, i think you are misusing the word. an inflated sense of self-importance has nothing to do with one's political philosophies -- political philosophies are not based in analyses of self. i've met many arrogant anarchists. i've met many arrogant capitalists.

that is just HORRIBLE advice, come on people. geeeez. mortgage the house and buy some back? i am long term bull too but agree, this is just AWFUL. i hope no one listens to this shit.

i don't have much of an opinion of u.s. citizens really. but the consensus about them is well established. i also don't buy the capitalist-socialist dichotomy... as it's commonly illustrated.

i think the perceived arrogance of people from the US is much due to US exceptionalism, yes -- i was making that point because that is what non-US folks are exposed to. but i am talking about the dictionary definition of "arrogance".

sure, there is great wealth inequality in the u.s. that doesn't mean there isn't far greater wealth inequality elsewhere, such as in South America. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/32/Gini_Coefficient_World_CIA_Report_2009.svg

it also doesn't speak to the effect of historic exploitation of the southern hemisphere by the north. over 53% of world net worth (based on PPP) is concentrated in North America and Europe, which has less then 15% of world population. when we talk about wealth inequality, surely comparing that of the u.s. with that of that of bolivia is sort of ridiculous, right? are we talking about being entitled to basic human necessities, perhaps education? or are we talking about being entitled to a basic minimum income? or big screen tvs? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distribution_of_wealth

in the u.s., when people complain about entitlements, i hear complaints about people buying big screen tvs with welfare checks. (i take that with grain of salt) surely, you don't think that these are the sort of entitlements that Brazilians seek? that they are arrogant for fighting for? especially given the nature of wealth inequality?

am i arrogant for fighting for a better education system for my children? i must feel so self-important? 

it's one thing if the state does not exists. it's another thing if the state will exists for the forseeable future, and exploits, and allows exploitation. in the latter case, i think it is only reasonable for people to try to reform the state, to legally prescribe what had once been unwritten -- their ownership, their rights, their dignity. even if i do not support reformism. i still do not see this as arrogance. someone who is arrogant by definition does not see themselves as equal to others.

yeah its a free market with horrible options, and hopefully some professional players will enter a market that is WIDE open for the taking. bunch of amateurs in this niche.

no, my issue was just with referring to Americans as people from the u.s.    i'd rather not argue over that, but felt it was necessary since your assertions about entitlements (and thus, their relation to "arrogance") are relative to the context of the u.s. and thus have very limited application. part of the issue, also, is that our proposed escape plans are likely quite different.

you went from saying "people from the u.s." to "Americans". i know you tried to turn it into saying all Americans are arrogant and not just people from the u.s., but the explanation was nonsensical on its face. and the "socialist=arrogant" argument, which is clearly nonsensical, was the only thing you could come up with to explain the back-tracking. i'd take your word for it that it was my misunderstanding, except you couldn't explain how your claims applied to all Americans. all you did was concede that people from the u.s. are arrogant. hence, you were talking about people from the u.s.
