bottom will be $32-$33 and because im in a good day im gonna give you the approx date, july 12-13th

YOUR WELCOME!!!

Too soon. The slide will be longer. There will be at least a couple of epic bull traps in the way down.

You'd think this guy was around in 2011.

Jaro needs to buy in. This is the market low... PLEASE GOD LET IT BE THE LOW!!

Clearly this guy wasn't.

Long term trend (5-10 years) up, way up. Near term (months) down. Instantaneous (next half hour) bounce up a couple bucks. Holding, not buying yet.

So has anyone traced the coins to try to figure out who the buyer was?

People with large amounts of money can still withdraw?
MtGox refers to it as "manual processing" and apparently charges 5% extra for it.

I don't think that's still working. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=179586.msg3257717#msg3257717

Still cheap bitcoins over at CampBX though. I'm surprised their volume hasn't increased much with them being the only method to buy BTC with Dwolla now.

Interesting.

My guess is that manual processing still works for the wealthiest. Obviously 5% of millions is a lot more lucrative than 5% of a few grand.

I have serious doubts. Last time I successfully did get USD wired out of gox it came from Chase in NYC. That's not the Veridian Credit Union account that was much discussed.

Aside from a few people (or one person) puting up ask walls, BitStamp is straight up dead.

Seriously, 3 trades in the last half hour.

I guess these days instead of a weekend dip in the price we just see a weekend dip in the volume.

That's it folks. I sold all Sad Failure to overcome previous ATH creates a massive double top, it is hard to say where the price will go, but in 6 months my guess would be in the $13-$50 range. Thank you

Yeah, I'm guessing somewhere between this and the $300,000 you predicted earlier should be correct.

I see the last few days' stability as  the bitcoin train sitting at a station while people are getting on and off. Someday it will leave the station. For a quick hit of nostalgia remember the proudhon song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A7TuFy0fcuw

I'm still thinking the next major news to move the price will not be BTC news. Nothing has been fixed in the world economies and it's just a matter of time until yet another shoe drops.

I think Bitcoin can use a little more time to develop usability and services before shit hits the fan in a big way.

It is never a good time for the sht to hit the fan. But the longer Bitcoin experiences organic growth, the better.

So we'll need more than just one ATM to replace the current global banking system then?

It's not at all similar to this spring, or we would have crashed deeply with volume of more than 100k BTCs already.  

I am completely speechless with the tenacity of this price fly-up, it simply refuses to go down, several crash attempts are just easily absorbed, each time countered a powerful buy wave.

Truth.

Well colour me awed!

The old man dumped another 100 BTC at $406.

"This is getting ridiculous.  What am I meant to do with this $40K?  Buy more Bitcoin?"

"I think I might change the plan slightly.  Sell 50 instead of 100 at every $100 mark..."

I'd meant to say this for a while but he should have sold a percentage, say 10% at each level. That way he'd never run entirely out.

What are other people doing? Am I missing an obvious option? Yeah 7 days a little discomforting for a couple reasons. I think bitcoin could shoot up in that timeframe, and then I'd rather have the dollars for the interim.... which would be trapped in Gox. Secondly, Coinbase is supposed to restock in less time than that, and I know I can get a better price there.... just no guarantee that I can get in line fast enough to get any coins.

Isn't there any way to get money into CampBX without a 90 day wait? They've had really low prices throughout the run up.

Ok, let's make the regular bitcointalk.org whale profile.

He/she drives a lambo and wears alpaca socks! What else!  Cheesy

Or a Bugatti. That's what Loaded's rollin' in.

https://blockchain.info/pools?timespan=24hrs

back at 38% AGAIN

are u fucking kidding?? what is this?

luck fluctuation  - BTC Guild have 3.365 THsh in their pool vs 14.1 Thsh total -> 24%, but have only mined 20% of blocks in the last 24hrs, looks like ghash.io are being lucky.

But by all means panic and sell BTC.

so how much THsh do ghash have in their pool?

About 5100 Thash, or 36% - so yes they are being lucky at the moment

I would guess it is people switching back from Eligius as Eligius seems to be a little unlucky at the moment, and BTCGuild charges to much in fees



Shouldn't P2Pool have the lowest fees? Why aren't more using it? How many Ghash would you need to significantly reduce personal variance using it?
