We're not in the clear yet; we're still over 1k yuan away from the CNY high from earlier this month.

I'm delaying my celebration  Cool

Still celebrating LTC and NMC tho ;-)

+1 on LTC although I'm also celebrating XRP.  Woot!  Sup Rampion!   Grin

Dude seriously, rather talk about ltc than xrp.

You can talk about whatever you want.  Don't hate!  Choo choo MF!   Grin
Yeah, we should all be united, celebrating right now! Cheesy

Now here's something you don't want to do, a man in Wales has accidentally thrown out his hard drive which has his bitcoin wallet with 7500BTC on it, it's now buried somewhere in a landfill site:  http://uk.finance.yahoo.com/news/the-4million-bitcoin-treasure-hunt-newport-wales-computer-hard-drive-thrown-out-with-rubbish-133041090.html
Brb, flying to Newport! Cheesy

So we suddenly all trust Gox again over Stamp?

its for the media. the media cares... once we hit 1k there hell will break loose all over the news and we hit 2K in no time.  Cheesy

I personally don't care about the Gox price... Just gox bux.

it has started like i said above:

and on cnn:

and other sites....

Media only cares about gox  Roll Eyes
That's because they are the most well known.

I am extremely jealous at the ltc/btc ratio right now. wtf how is ltc becoming stronger against bitcoin?

It's called pump&dump.
That or it is because it's cheaper to buy one LTC than one BTC, and it has also gotten some media attention lately!

yeah but the whole argument behind ltc being cheaper is a psychological effect. Thats like saying 1 gram copper is cheaper than 1 gram gold.

Are people going to buy all the copper just because its cheaper than gold? When gold is the one that is organically increasing in value?
Of course it's a psychological effect. It feels like it's more, and it sounds more impressive to say: "I own 30 litecoins" than "I own 0.1 bitcoins".

You'll need a parachute or land at Cardiff or Bristol!
Oh. Well, how hard can it be to parachute anyways? Cheesy

I'd say 2000 is a given now, before christmas...
1800 will be the top of this wave according to my analysis
Based on what?

according to those posts I should sell
Never trust people who tells you to sell. They want you to fall for it so they can buy cheap coins.

My knowledge in regards to trading, economics and markets are on par with that of a potato. I was just interested on everybody's thoughts on what type of impact, if any, Black Friday will have on bitcoin's price.
Hopefully it will bring some positive attention to bitcoins so more people realize it's actually a good system!

I have a serious question for ALL of you regulars here... Don't you people EVER sleep? Grin

After reading about... urm... 14 pages of debate I think I must post some thoughts here for you. Most of us here have absolutely no idea of arbitary investments / exchanging currencies. Unless you're familiar with something similar (ie: Forex/XE/derivatives etc) I suggest you pick your cryptocurrency of choice and stick to "holding". This is the safest bet you will ever have in order to get profit. Getting in and out from exchange to exchange and currency to currency (even if you're 24/7 at it) will end up in tears for you (in most cases) if you don't have previous experience and knowledge.

I personally follow and post here the 5 rules of success for you:
1. Don't get emotional from other's people thoughts.
2. Not everyone here is a "nice person" you can trust.
3. IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO, DON'T TRADE.
4. HOLD!!!
5. Until you desperately need the money follow rule #4.

Good Luck!
These are very good advices. It should be a sticky post in the speculation section!

This whole crash was bogus.

Felt pretty real (and painful) at sub-$600
I wasn't worried at all. Long term you know! Wink

It seems that rallies and crashes and blips and blops only occur when Huobi is active, which is only when the Chinese are awake and not having New Year's dim sum with their families.

And there are many bitcoin chart/statistics sites that do not even mention them...

bitstamp is still down
They're down for maintenance if I recall it correctly.

yeah, it was supposed to be fixed two hours ago though, but it's still down.
They maybe ran in to some trouble? From my own experience I know that you can be quite certain to do so during maintenance and such.
