What's the likely effect of Stamp being down, when it eventually comes back up? Say for example Gox falls to $400 and then Stamp comes back up still at $475, is it likely to overcompensate as it tries to catch up?

Bitstamp's on it's way to a new ATH, whereas Gox is still battling around the 750 mark... good time to transfer from Gox to Stamp?

To get a loan - or not to get a loan. That is the question.
I've only got 20% of my savings in BTC at the moment, but that was all the free cash I had and everything is else tied up in tax efficient savings/funds. So if I want to bring more fiat in quickly to catch this rocket I either need to liquidate something or take out a loan. I can get £7.5K @4.9% on a one year loan, with a 2 month payment holiday at the start and no early redemption penalty, which would take BTC up to 50% of my portfolio (poncey word, but you know what I mean). Is this a risk too far - or a no-brainer?
If you do that you're seriously an idiot. Regardless whether you have a hunch there will be a bitcoin rally, that's something only the biggest idiot would do. You'd beat yourself to death if your plan fails...Maybe people just like to live life on the edge. I like a little risk because traditional investments are too slow for me, so i chose bitcoin. But I'd never take out a loan to invest in something (unless I had insider info or something lol)
Like I said, it's a choice of liquidating existing savings which I can afford to lose - or getting a loan which offers a chance of achieving the same level of holding, in an instrument that "may" appreciate at such a rate that I can repay within the holiday period. If not, I cash out my savings. It's just time shifting, not increasing any risk. Anyway, what's with this idea that people don't borrow to invest isn't that what leverage is all about?
If you've got the choice, then get the money out of your savings. Take money out of savings which is earning you probably no more than 2% interest, or get a loan out on which you must pay 5% interest? Dude, this is a no brainer.

China seems a bit more uncertain about reaching for the stars again than Stamp or Gox.

Anyone else getting a "403 Forbidden" when trying to log in to Gox?

Gox & China have been mirroring each other for a while, whilst Stamp is just going off and doing it's own thing.

Whoa! Just woken up and... wow! At least all my optimistic buy orders have been fulfilled... not sure how pleased about that I am.
Did anything happen overnight to cause this second wave of sell-offs, or this just a continuation of the China situation from Monday?

Ok whos buying?
I've been buying all the way down from 800...
Seriously though, sub-500 feels like a good buy to me. We may fall further but I can see this settling around 500-600 after the dust has settled.

I had a quick look about the forums but didn't find one: is there a thread to post pics of things you've bought with Bitcoin?

You know what though? This is a serious anti-climax for the capitulation crowd. The selling is extremely measured - We haven't had a panic sell for weeks now. AND this is the time - as we move into two weeks until the dreaded 31 January Chinese New Year shutdown scenario - that the naysayers have been banking on.
Dunno, what's worse: a capitulation with everyone panicing and rushing for the doors (which secretly everyone likes because they can get cheap coins quick, causing a rapid bounce), or a long, slow, drawn out, confidence sapping slide with no bounce at the the end?
I'm hodling too, but doing so through increasingly gritted teeth

As a non american, can someone explain what these hearings are for and how they play in to the US legislative system?
Who is the intended audience (other than curious bitcoin holders) of these hearings? Why are they being held in New York, not Washington, and what's the relevance of that? Also, what's the output from these hearings? Will the chair/judge(?) produce some kind of report with conclusions?

On Friday my buy orders missed the bottom of the dip by a few dollars and today my next level of buy orders missed the dip by a few dollars.
Damn you hodlers!

Has anyone even tried doing a withdrawal with stamp or BTC-e?
poeple are still reporting problems but some say they got there withdrawals, maybe they are manually clearing up the mess, this could take some time
bitstamp is OPEN - WITHDRAWAL just hit blockchain!
not sure how reliable this "rob2360a"... but it looks like there is light at the end of the tunnel
libity from bitcointalk just withdrew 1btc from bitstamp

What's the situation with Gox - have they fixed the malleability issue too, or are they still "working on it"?
