Oh wow. So much happening right now...
First, as confirmed above, big time trader 'loaded' arrested in China (
source), and now, another well known player, forum user rpietila arrested in Finland (
source -- they basically call him "the Finnish Charlie Schrem").
This isn't good. Not good at all.
Just read the finnish news, it says nothing of what you're claiming. Stop fuding around!

I was promised boom earlier in this thread. Disappointed...
Everyone disappointed here, was expecting big boom today but it is still downside/sideways movement.
Bitcoin is disappointing us negatively this week.
The poll still seems rather bullish!

its a real pleasure buying things online with bitcoin feels much better than paying with visa.
Not only it feels better, it's also so much cheaper!
Those Visa people really rip us off!

if the bids were well above 630$, shouldn't he reveal the values, to push the price up?
He's probably too busy buying if he knows it's high.

OK.. so some very ugly guestimation calculations...
the USMS says they got 60+ bids ... at 3,000 BTC per block that is a demand for 60* 3k = 180,000 coins....
Lets assume that 75% of those bids were bottom feeders, only interested in turning a quick buck by flipping the coins if they were to go below market... 180k/4 = 45,000 coins with *real* demand behind them....
as there were only 30k coins in the auction, 45k - 30k = 15k deficit.
So, after the auction, we have a pent up demand for approximately 15,000 coins by people we know have the money already allocated for BTC purchases
Could be a very good next couple of days....
Sigg
Those are no ugly estimations.
They are trully beautiful.
Hope none of the buyers is a bloody dumper.

you forgot the best part:
This will happen slowly but steadily during 7 weeks.
which was not far from the truth either.
Are you kidding? It couldn't get farther from the truth. There's been major dips and steep climbs in that time.
$650 seems to be spot on however.
Well... at least it was slow.
The unsteadiness was all news related, so harder to predict.

Wait, we playing 'who predicted the bestest'? I'll necro this one one more time...
Agreed. $600 within reach (<12h).
Then: rally time to 650, maybe higher, touching 700?
Then then: falling back below 640, and eventually re-testing 530.
So say we all? So say we all!

Where "touching 700" ended up as $683, and "re-testing 530" as $538. Close enough, no?
Not bad at all, congrats!
Any more predictions to make you right in the future?

It means they bought high, so they're probably not dumpers.

One buyer is very bullish. It means the sale price was likely higher than most anticipated.
It means only that one buyer with deep pockets was less greedy than all the others. They may all have bid at 475$, and he bid 480$

EDIT: typo, 460 --> 480
It is unlikely that this buyer bid just $5 higher than the rest and won *all* the blocks. My guess is they bid at least $100-200 higher than market across the board.
What makes you think that $475 was the second highest bid?
$475 was the second lowest bid, most bids were above market price, winner had bid alot more and proof of that is that he managed to buy all the blocks.
Some of those losing bidders after placing a 10% premium bid realized the bargain offered by the yesterday's prices on the exchanges so they hurried up and bought up to their USMS bid, and were soon followed by panic buyers

Doubt that the second highest bid was also below market price.
I think it was
at market price the lowest.

I think there were a couple of bidders who didn't knew what competition they were up to and thought they'll make a blast deal by bidding ~$450 and later dumping on the exchanges(one bidder publicly admitted a ~$440 bid on all blocks). Their competition however were true bitcoiners whose plan weren't to dump but instead were looking for a secure & private deal which USMS auction provided, as proof we still don't know who won and most likely will never know.
A thousand apologies maok! I misread "second lowest" for "second highest".
Then I completely agree with you. As you say, for sure some innocents bid to try and win the lottery.
Thankfully the auction was full of veterans as well, to protect us from those ignorant dumpers

is this similar sort of price movement compared to post November bubble? cos for someone who hasnt been through a bubble its god damn nerve wrecking thinking "shit is it guna flop?".
Well it's a bit different cause there was no big crash like when silkroad closed. November was my first bubble, and I started feeling really bored. Then price started to go up. Few dollars each day. Then like 10 bucks per day, and I was thinking 'holy shee!'.
Then came a week when everyday I woke up to a new 3 digit level.
It's the best feeling ever.

Willy might have helped, but I can't believe it singlehandedly caused the whole bubble.
Also because there were other bubbles before November.

Yep, I guess we won't arrive to 10K during the next bubble.
Unless maybe if it happens due to the ETFs and all the big money coming in.
Otherwise we'll have to wait for 2015 to get really excited.

I have this eerie feeling we are on the verge of a breakout.
I could be wrong. I am a total uber-bull so perhaps a little too optimistic, but I wouldn't be surprised if things get really interesting soon here.

Same feeling here.
But I have said this many times now

THIS TIME ITS DIFFERENT.

$635 within 24 hours?
Nothing really changed, so I really doubt a breakout will come just yet.
I, too, have had the imminent breakout feeling too many times this year, so I don't believe it anymore

So I don't really know what's the sentiment that preceeds leaving a long bearish market...

This situation is unique. It's the first time we see the Bitcoin market behave like this.
As i said it turned into a pump and dump coin.
That's why i'm out. This won't change anytime soon either.
Oh c'mon, do you really think pumping and dumping will afect the long term course? I think it will only mean a few extra waves here and there.

To my knowledge, the bitcoin market didn't really have the ability to short before Nov 2013 because no exchanges offered it. Now it's everywhere. To me, this is the biggest problem now... no one trusts that an uptrend is real, believing that it's just a short term pump (in order to short at the top) or simply a short squeeze that's causing an artificial rise. We can't see any true demand buying.
I think shorting has affected things for sure. I think it might take rallies longer to start because of it. As the price inches upwards the shorters will try to take advantage of that and dump. However, the momentum will at some point take over and because of that I would be very cautious. If the market decides to rally I don't believe anything can keep the price down.
I really hope you're right, and that we find it out soon

It's not going to $310. It's going to $350. If you dump @ $310, I will buy them, but first we have to see the south side of $240.

really the truth of the matter is anything under $300 is still a great buy.
Exactly.

I don't think you are factoring in the Four Punch Raiders. These guys make the order book their bitch. The bear market likely isn't over until after the next short squeeze and then later a failed attempt at a long squeeze. If $266 holds on the retest two months or so from now. Since apparently I am the only one who knows both what they are doing and how to stop it (and is willing to do so), that long squeeze will likely not fail. I don't have nearly the funds to do it on my own and all my "allies" will be much weaker after this next round trip.
Four punch what?

Right now, consolidation period more likely than a substantial continuation of the rally, in my opinion - though I'm not saying we can't make another run for $300.
In that case, I would expect something similar to the period from mid-Feb to beginning of March. This time, if we would be staying above $260-265 on average, while not dipping much below $250-255 (DSMA20), we could be looking at a continuation of the upwards trend in a week or two from now.
I guess that, right now, I don't see $300 falling and closing above on daily.
/2cents
Agreed. A sharp rise now wouldn't even have the strength to last for long, I think.
I guess we'll have to wait for 2016 to see an actual rally, though 2015 should be mostly "uptrendish".

Which would fit well with a market effect of the impending block reward era 3 (which is expected for 2016/2017, but we're going through blocks faster on average than the target, 144 per day target, 154 on all-time average)
Let's hope so!
Still, I think many people (those who got into bitcoin for get-rich-quick reasons) will get tired and leave during 2015.
And then the rally in 2016 should, as always, surprise even the bulls... 5 digits?

within 24 hours there are 3 possible outcome :
1. steady rises to 288
2. sideways to 283
3. drop to 233
I wonder where did you find *exactly* these numbers? Price is stable around $280. So you think it will drop by $50 and rise only by $8? What happened with $300 ceiling?

This is the last major auction of Silk Road coins. After this, there will only be a few left so even if they end up getting dumped on the market, I think we go up after the auction.
Maybe this will be 2015s equivalent of the silkroad flash crash in 2013

I think all of us should just go to Vegas for a week, get drunk, party, gamble, and settle all these differences of opinions in person. It would be fun. I'll room with LampChop.
Sos no room, lamp chop has to book a whole floor suite for all his sock accounts.
i have a feeling LampChop can really party hard.
i'm in, lets do this next year when price is 9K and climbing

If Adam and notlambchop are going it would be one heck of a wild night
On a sidenote technically the 1K party ticket event got cancelled ha-ha so a 9K one for Bitcoin would be hardcore
(By then I think we would all have enough coins for a real insane party

)
Assuming no giant mtgox occurs lol.
It got canceled? That's sad...

it's all over after 1pm central standard time, 2 pm eastern. We're intentionally keeping the price down until then to deprive the USG of ill-gotten revenue.
Now that's a good reason to sell!

Market is so slow... no Volume and not increase or decrease of price, what will happen in the next time? Hope to see a great raise of price with the introduction of ETF

Up ~20% from last month, up ~7% from last week. Sure, right now isn't exactly exciting, but I wouldn't exactly say the "market is so slow". Unless you were expecting another uber rally to take place of course, which is not likely to happen very soon imo - if we're lucky, this year will be (roughly) similar to 2012.
It's actually quite a fast growing at this stage of the early bull market. We might still have a little dip before moving on, me thinks.

It wasn't exactly a bad period for the US economy when the Euro traded a lot higher than the Dollar... wonder how the poor Eurozone will deal with this terrible, terrible blow ^_^
Personally as well, I'm pretty happy with the rate. My trading account is denominated in USD, so I profit twice, and I think I'll be able to survive the marginally increased cost of the occasional vacation to the US.

To the guy shorting because sentiment is bullish - how would that have worked out in 2014?

in april 2014, swimmingly... Dec 2014, even better.
you miss the point about the fact that
at the peak of a bubble, the sentiment is at it's maximum. This occurs just before everyone falls off a cliff together all hugging and telling each other how great they are

my motivation to short is not just about betting against the bulls, but anyways...
The thing is you have to wait until the bullish sentiment is crazy ripe.
Otherwise you'll simply sell too soon...

It seems that we're ripe for another mini bull run, after these last days of stability.
Don't think we'll get much further than that though, we also need some major news to see big movements.

Around 24,000 BTC accumulating in Agora-controlled addresses"
Can´t wait till they hit the market...

(Soon someone will post that those thieves are actually die-hard bitcoiners just like 99% of the miners which will hold, no matter what, at least until 5 digits

Well I won't post that they'll hold until 5 digits, and maybe they are not "die-hard bitcoiners", but it would be just plain stupid to dump everything at once.
If they do it, it'll be gradually, and it won't be all of it.

The most extreme die-hard bitcoiners are called
HODLERS and they won't sell even at 6 digits! When you understand what this is all about, you're no longer in need to trade, or sell; you just keep your stash. Mid-2016 is not as far as it looks. Plus, maybe Christmas (ie: halving) will come even earlier. Sock puppets and trolls have a reason to be here, remember this...

Patience broskis. Next week will be dumpy.

There is NO real evidence to establish that BTC prices are going below $240s. I am NOT saying that it will NOT happen, but seems more likely that we will get either sideways or up, rather than downward BTC price movement.
What's the real evidence for sideways or up, in contrast to the non-real evidence for down?

This document is fresh from the press, it's not yet availible in english för som odd reason, but if you can read any of the other 17 langugeses that it comes in it is very interesting.
In short, one of the Swedish high courts has asked the European court for advice on where Europe stands on taxing the exchange of bitcoin to fiat and vice vesa. This in turn because a Swedish citizen appealed a decision from the Swedish tax authorties on paying tax for the exchange of bitcoins he is doing in his company.
The european advocat general Juliane Kokott suggests as a verdict that bitcoin should be regarded as a currency and not be taxed. The court usually go with the advocat generals suggestions.
