This 225-230 pattern is fucking annoying. Are you guys making money out of this?
Lol,
I recommend you : Go to the casino and put al your money on an even number. Maybe it's profitable
And it isn't fucking annoying

Thanks to Jorge for breaking the news. Wait until this hits the news worldwide on monday, which will probably trigger the crash to sub 100. We would go there anyways, but a good news story will probably add more momentum and preserves us from more failed pumps and boring sideways action before the crash.
So why aren't the Chinese exchanges dumping like crazy?
3 billion yuan = 2.17
million btc at the current price. 3000 investors means the average investor had 725 btc each
For a start the Chinese do not wake up until four or five hours from now. I'm also waiting to read an English version of the story because Google translated versions aren't exactly reliable.

Most stolen coins have already been sold. Why do you think the price has gone down for over a year?
money is missing, not coins.
It sounds like coins might be missing in addition to money. There is a mycoin thread in the Chinese section here that says they were limiting what people could withdraw in December last year. The Google translated version is at this link. The translation is terrible, but it sounds like people could only withdraw a small amount of their total bitcoins on the site.

The mycoin.hk thing will likely have little effect on the market because, as I understand it, it's an obvious fiat ponzi scheme that merely used bitcoin as part of the ruse. Ponzis are already illegal so no further legislation needed.
I generally agree, except that there are claims that mycoin.hk operated also an exchange that scammed their clients too. So there
may be some consequences for other exchanges.
Did mycoin run its own exchange or operate in association with another? BFX is located in Hong Kong, right?
I'm not certain but their website suggests they ran their own exchange, an online wallet service, a cloud mining service, and various entertainment services. This is what Google translate came up with from their about us page. Right now it's difficult to get any clear information, just stuff badly translated through Google.

Correction: the "4.1 billion USD" for the GBL scam seems to be a newspaper error. Other sources say "4.1 million", with is of course much more plausible.
is this for the exchange in HK that apparently stole funds and goxxed users ?
It was not an exchange. It was a good ol Ponzi scheme using a Bitcoin facade to lure suckers in.
This is the first article about it that I have found in English. It's still very vague about what the facts actually are. It's not clear exactly how much money has gone missing yet, but it says some customers are taking action on Wednesday. Maybe we will find out more concrete facts by then.

Back in the early days, some of the smartest people in the world have been hanging around here. They were posting tech stuff, chatting about the fiat economy and politics, even trying to predict if a specific pattern was responsible for the USD/BTC price. But then; MtGox arrived. Then the trolls followed. And my ignore list must now contain more than 50 persons.
And yet this
still seems to be the best thread in this whole forum.
Recall that, many months ago, about half of the postings on bitcointalk.org were about altcoins. I am too lazy now to redo that statistic, but, by eyeball, the altcoins still seem to take a large fraction.
Many months ago most of the alt coin posts were mostly addresses for giveaways, until giveaways were banned. After that the alt coin announcements section seemed the most popular, with countless new alt coins being announced each week. Nowadays new coin launches have dried up leaving this as one of the most popular threads,

In my opinion at the end there will be less than half a dozen meaningfull coins.
Anything less than $20000 trading volume in 24h is a joke
I wonder how long some of the lower end alt coin exchanges can keep going. The coins they list are almost worthless and have minuscule trading volumes. I'd be surprised if those exchanges are making profit. If bitcoin crashes lower then whatever takings they get will be too low to pay the hosting charges.

So what I've learned catching up on the thread the last couple days is that this is basically the personal blog / tumblr of a few high profile obnoxious idiots, and that "bitcoiners" are apparently stupid assholes because they have high expectations that are often wrong of a completely new technology that nobody has ever seen before and nobody actually knows how to value or project yet.
As soon as bitcoin's price starts moving in a big way hundreds of people suddenly start posting here. When nothing's been happening for ages only a few people seem to post here. That's when it becomes the personal blog / tumblr of a few
high profile obnoxious idiots people.

Is it just me or did Huobi just flatline?
Yes, the last transactions were about two hours ago according to bitcoinity. That gives credibility to the hack story. They would not stop trading without a big reason.

The US Marshals have announced they will auction 50K bitcoins on 5th March. I'm wondering if we might get a pamic dump because of it. These auctions seem to have a big effect on the price.

The price is barely moving beyond 230-240 for a while now.
I haven't known the price to be this stable in a long time.
Unsure if that's bullish or bearish in the short to medium term.
Thoughts?
Basically just waiting for sellers at this point.
Under $235 today, with futures still $1 above spot.
Fuck bitfinex... cant buy for less than 238 when the price is 235 on bitstamp...
IM USING THE WRONG EXCHANGE FML!
The arbitrage bots should even out those price differences soon. If the bots don't then traders will take advantage of it and buy from Bitstamp to sell for more on Bitfinex until the prices are level.

I think the spirit behind BTCChina and Huobi's caution is summed up well in the following quote.
Speaking to CoinTelegraph, both BTCChina as well as Huobi indicated that they believe any increase in Bitcoin's block size limit should be approached conservatively
Their opinion cannot be ignored by the core devs, but neither can the western exchange's opinions. Has Bitstamp or any of the other western exchanges voiced an opinion yet?

I notice the big difference between the Bitstamp price and the prices on the other two exchanges has been ironed out. As soon as the banks opened this morning people must have started sending money to buy the cheap Bitstamp coins for arbitrage.

Seems the first attack on the 265-70 resistance failed. But the price is holding pretty good so far. Let's see if 250 can be held, then the prospects for July are great ...
Nevertheless, I voted for a July top of less than 300. I think it will reach again the levels of about 270, and maybe a little higher, but not much more. Black swan events not taken into account
The Mt Gox court case will conclude sometime and either the Bitcoins get returned or the court orders them to be sold so cash can be returned instead. I doubt it will be over by the end of July but if the court orders a crazy dump it will crash the price. I think they have some rule in Japan that you have to sell an asset and return cash.

You think a court is going to order the coins to be sold on some sketchy exchange? An auction seems more likely.
I don't know what the court will decide. All I know is according to this site Japanese law has always forced bankruptcy settlements to be paid in cash. However, there is a rule that if a committee of the majority of creditors is recognized by the court it might be able to demand payment in Bitcoins, but it would be the first time its ever happened.
https://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/mt-gox-creditors-demand-payment-bitcoins/In Japan, all settlements in bankruptcy proceedings have always been in cash and any settlement approved for payment in a cryptocurrency would be a first, a landmark........
Daniel Kelman, a US Layer, resident in Taiwan, today informed the notified trustee to the Mt Gox bankruptcy, Nobuaki Kobayashi, of his intention to form a 'rebel group' of creditors seeking to receive their payments in the form of bitcoins.....
McLannahan explains that under Japanese law, a committee representing more than half of creditors has the power to “participate” in proceedings, so long as it satisfies certain conditions and is recognized by the court as representing the interests of creditors as a whole.
The context of the original post I addressed was about black swan events. The Japanese court ordering the Bitcoins to be sold on exchanges could be considered a black swan event. It would be unexpected, but not impossible.

@LFC_Bitcoin @JayJuanGee
Even Masterluc in the "Analysis never ends" thread expects $45k in about 7-8 years. Adam is sooo conservative.
I never thought I would hear anyone calling Adam a bear troll for spreading FUD about how Bitcoin won't go up 166x in 7 to 8 years. Next someone will be calling sgtbet a bear troll for saying it will only reach half a million dollars before the end of the year, and sgtbet will be calling bitpump a bear troll for only expecting 50K by next Christmas.

Chinese exchanges done goofed?
OKcoin and Huobi at the same time ? It got to 1734 (278.59 USD) on OK and then froze? WTF is goin on?
Meanwhile finex drops hard.
indeed, what's up??
The finex dump might be related to the news that Greece has said they will start pension and tax reform by next week if they can have more money from the EU. You can read the whole letter they sent to the EU at the link below the quote. They have refused to discuss pension reform until now so it makes it look like they they might yet do a deal to stay in the EU. Everyone's speculating the Bitcoin price has been rising on fears of a Grexit and this new offer from Greece might prevent one. That might be why people started dumping.
Consistent with the principles of this medium to long term Programme, the Republic is committed to
a comprehensive set of reforms and measures to be implemented in the areas of fiscal
sustainability, financial stability, and long-term economic growth. Within the framework of the
Programme, we propose to immediately implement a set of measures as early as the beginning of
next week including:
• Tax reform related measures
• Pension related measures

RSI double top spotted @finex 1day
We're probably going to see a correction to the $259 support level.
I'm not a proper trader and only have a basic understanding of a double top. I spotted one today and the price tanked, but I have spotted them before and the price went up. How often do they precede a drop in price? It's obviously not 100% of the time, so what kind of percentage accuracy do they have?
I assume they have better accuracy when compared to the Relative Strength Index?

He never envisioned mining pools, he only envisioned server farms of specialized hardware doing the mining. It's all in the paper he wrote when he released Bitcoin. You can download his paper here.

I see my bitcoin net worth go up/down ~$3K for every $10 btc price swing. Doesn't faze me a bit, but the silly n00bs who are afraid to HODL a single btc and are just looking to make a few bucks to buy the latest cheap trinket (that they'll forget about in 6 months) would be freaking out. They are the true weak hands.
And I'm still buying when I can, without any fear.
To create real wealth, you must have a long term vision and balls of steel.

That's only around 100 btc - it's not so much.
I don't think a 10 dollar swing would put you +\- 3k with 100 btc.
You would need 300 Bitcoins for that.
$10 x 300 = $3000
If he has 300 Bitcoins they must be worth approximately 300 x $285, which is $85500. That's quite a substantial sum to invest in Bitcoins at today's prices, and would be even higher at 2013 bubble prices! I wish I had that many Bitcoins.

What will happen to the coins that were deposited by Multiple users.
will Brainwallet open after some Time or it has turned into Scam?
I see i am able to log in..
should i remove my coins from there?
EDIT: I am unable to log-in Now.
What do you mean by Empty String?Yes, it was announced before DefCon that they would be hacking brain wallets and advised everyone to get their coins out of their brainwallets.
Even if you think you're super smart in your pass phrase, it can be hacked easier than a private key.
Nxt wallets often use pass phrases and there have been a significant number of coins stolen by automated bots that crack weak pass phrases.
I didn't expect something similar to happen to Bitcoin wallets. Now a way to crack brain wallets with weak pass phrases has been devised there will be an army of bots attempting to crack them. People on summer holidays might only find out about this when they get back and find their Bitcoins were stolen before they had a chance to move them.

Wow, JorgeStolfi actually has some sound advice finally.
It's not that your passphrase isn't awesome, but most websites and logins that have a password cannot be hacked because it is difficult to determine that password due to restrictions on repetitive guesses. When I graduated college in 1997 I wrote a quick program to guess passwords by a simple changing of letters in a large string of characters just to see how easy it was to figure out my own password. A quick program at the processing power of the time took less than 30 minutes for a seemingly strong password. Back in that day you could continually try passwords no problem, the server would not kick you out. As I am not a hacker, that's about the furthest I went into the hacking world.
With brain wallets there is no server side prevention for guessing as many times as you want to guess your pass phrase. If it is not more complicated than a private key, it will be guessed.
Gizmodo published the top 25 passwords of 2015 and how much their ranking had changed from 2014. The top one for both 2015 and 2014 is "123456" and number two is "password". Easily memorable (and guessable) passwords are inevitable because anything strong is impossible to remember. How many brain wallets use these awful passwords?

I'm sure this won't last long enough for me to get my euros to the exchanges.
Between my bank dropping me because I'm dealing in bitcoin and my exchange dropping me because I'm American it isn't the easiest thing to get bitcoins these days.
But when I do get my money to one of the exchanges, hopefully the price is in this range. I won't hold my breath though.
If you can still get access to your fiat you could try running round all the nearest Bitcoin ATMs tomorrow. A number of them are open on Sundays and only require a phone number to make purchases. They generally have high fees but it's a fast way to get Bitcoins. I don't think the price will go significantly up until after tomorrow at the least.

There should be more than one implementation of the bitcoin protocol.
Also, there might be legitimate use cases for "enterprise" style full nodes etc.
I could think of a thousand reasons why XT could be useful, but the most important ones will likely be the ones I can't imagine right now.
Exactly. What is wrong with the goal of decentralizing development across multiple competing implementations?
That's not a bad idea. I don't like the control the two competing teams of devs are exerting over what path Bitcoin takes. The more choices of implementations there are, the more choice he miners have over the path Bitcoin takes. If the miners chose to go with a new set of devs it could end this mess we are in.

Post 12260297 (copy this link) (by readysalted89) (scraped on 2020-04-04_Sat_14.25h):
The longest proof of work chain is the consensus mechanism.
You keep spreading this falsehood. While it is not exactly wrong, it's not perfectly right either.
Not really. "the longest chain" is ambiguous. It should really be "the longest valid chain", and then you need to define which coin's concept of "validity" you're using. Every client follows the longest valid chain - that's precisely how they decide which chain to follow.
So assuming the question is "will my node follow the longest valid Bitcoin chain?", then the answer is "no" for XT once BIP101 is activated. At that point XT stops following the longest valid Bitcoin chain and starts following the longest valid XT chain, whereas the answer is "yes" for Bitcoin.
It's my understanding that neither of these assertions is true in Bitcoin XT. XT changes the consensus mechanism significantly:
Another less cited new feature of the XT client is a change to chain selection/consensus rules. XT clients don't follow the longest chain, they follow the chain with the highest XT checkpoint embedded into it.
Exactly what is a checkpoint and how is it embedded in the blockchain?
How does the XT wallet decide which chain to embed a checkpoint into, and how does it decide what height to embed a checkpoint at?
How does the XT wallet decide the frequency and time to embed checkpoints at?

I must be honest and say hodling Bitcoin has always been a kind of gamble as it could drop drastically or it could go to the moon.
But yes, it is boring now. I did enjoy the price swings even though it's been mostly down!!
After the winter gets started in earnest the price might become more volatile. In the summer everyone's too busy going on holiday to bother with Bitcoin. Once it gets colder and everyone's stuck indoors at night more people might start taking more of an interest in trading. That could push the volume up and produce bigger price swings like in January last year when it was too cold to go out.

6$+ between Bitstamp and China.
I hadn't checked the Chinese markets until you posted that. Wow, it's well over $250 on OKCoin, Huobi, BTC100, BtcTrade, BTCChina, and BTC38. Last night I was waiting for China to wake up and pump the price. but I gave up and went to sleep. They did it, just not on the western exchanges yet. There must be arbitrage opportunities buying on the western exchanges and selling on the eastern ones. It's just a matter of time until the west's price catches up with the east's.

arbs can can only move so much from one side to the other before their funding gets exhausted .... then they need the arb to go the other way to move the funds back ... seems like moves like these and weekend fiat transfers have exhausted everybody.
Yep. Tomorrow fresh fiat will hit exchanges and the gap should close a bit (at least that gap between Bitstamp and Bitfinex).
Personally I'm looking if it is possible to convert Tether USD (Bitfinex) to Ripple USD (Bitstamp). If the gap continues this could bring some money
You had to give Rippletrade your KYC documents by yesterday at the latest to continue using the wallet. You can buy and sell Bitstamp Bitcoin IOUs on Rippletrade, but I don't know if Tether USD has been integrated yet. I haven't used it lately partially because they started asking for KYC, and partially because the client freezes on my computer.

What is considered off-topic in this squalid thread?
Probably Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion like it says in the title. I wanted to ask people's views on whether the price would go up or down, but I didn't because I thought I would hijack the thread by going off topic. The Illuminati End Game Started conspiracy theory thread has more Bitcoin price movement discussion in it than this thread today.

I believe we're starting to see some more flakiness from the Gox server here returning old data. The cause of this was never really addressed but I have my suspicions that the Gox order book was almost entirely imaginary.
I remember Gox used to snottily claim it had its own custom wallet software, and didn't use the bog standard wallets everyone else used. Its statements gave the impression that flakiness from the Gox server was impossible due to its superior technology and genius developers. Considering it had its own superior custom wallet software it's funny how it lost 200k coins in an old "forgotten" wallet.

[bitcoin-dev] Not this again.
I am not Craig Wright. We are all Satoshi.
So...it appears that the best way to find out who Satoshi is...is to out various people and have Satoshi deny that the person is him.
After a few million people, if he does not respond..then that's the guy.
After reading this question about his ability to resist talking under torture asked to Satoshi years ago I understood why he disappeared. If I was Satoshi I wouldn't reveal my identity for al the money in the world. We will be lucky if we ever get another message from him, but I doubt we'll ever discover his identity.
@mizerydearia, I think the quote button is easier to find then the reply one.
So, theoretical this is a first control system where <some goverment> can arrest satoshi and demand
that he hands over his key (or get it from his computer) and shut down the complete network?
Or is that not possible? How far would <some goverment> get?
A few rhetorical questions for satoshi:
Can you resist waterboarding?
Can you endure electric shock?
All forms of torture?Lastly, are you Jack Bauer by any chance? Seriously.
WRT the alert system, who cares? The most the key can do is temporarily disable six json-rpc commands until the site owners either add the -disablesafemode switch or upgrade. All nodes keep running and generating, the network stays up. If I'm not available, any script kiddie can figure out how to add two characters and make a new version that disables the alert system. It would be a temporary inconvenience only.

$457 on Huobi.
The number of f@#% given to what the west is doing is approaching a fraction of zero.
It's 450 on Bitstamp, and it was recently 452. That's not much less than on Huobi, when a month ago there was a $30 to $40 gap between them. The west's price is catching up with the east's price. Well until the Chinese wake up that is. After they wake up and find out they are falling behind they will probably start buying like crazy again.

Its beginning to look a lot like Christmas .... come on 500
A little bit of December of 2013 maybe?
yes the willybot has been replaced by the yuan-a-bot and now that it has finally created much FOMO with a touch of MMM for good measure so .the price just like dec 2103 is running itself. 500 or even 1000 is possible as we found out in 2013.
party time for others (as I remain staunchly bearish)
It went over 3000 CNY on Huobi, then back down again. Now it's retesting that 3000 CNY target. If it can get above it, and stay above it things will continue to be bullish. That 3000 is a giant psychological barrier for the Chinese early in the morning.

Is bitcoinity working for anyone?
I tried it in a few browsers but it's not loading properly for me. It gets as far as a basic HTML page, then stops . None of the realtime prices are showing in my browser. I had to switch to bitcoinwisdom for now, but I like bitcoinity's interface better.

It's not loading properly for me either.
Also for me, waiting ...
Everything opens fine for me.
Thanks for that, which browser are you using?
I tried again in internet explorer and got this security certificate warning from it after it loaded half the page.
After I clicked the button to show content it loaded the rest of the page including the real time data feed. Now it's working normally. It still won't fully load for me in firefox or chrome.

Firefox
That's strange my firefox wouldn't fully load it. After I posted the problem in the bitcoinity thread comboy fixed it very quickly (within about a quarter of an hour). Now it's working perfectly in every browser I have installed. I'm extremely impressed with bitcoinity's customer service with that response time.

Hey! Isn't there already a ChinaCoin?!
There was a Hong Kong coin, but it was a total scam. It was mean't to be fairly distributed to all citizens of Hong Kong, but the devs claimed most of the coins themselves through some trick. PBoCcoin wil have no problems like that, its whole premine will go to the Chinese government with no scraps left over for anyone else.

Looks like someone flashed a Superdump signal on finex.
What's a Superdump signal? Was it the spike down to 365 lik the spike down to 367 on Bitstamp? There was a spike down about ten hours ago, but it didn't go as deep or have as much volume. Does the magnitude of a spike determine how big a dump it precedes, or does a succession of spikes precede a dump?

These SWIFT hacks seem to be increasing in frequency or they are being reported more ... either way it's just another symptom of the unreliability of the cobbled together legacy fiat system, it neither secures issuance or transfer and is simply antiquated and wholly unsuitable for the modern era.
The previous one was because of a bank using a $10 router with more holes in it than Swiss cheese to secure its network. Bitcoin only has one Gox worth hundreds of millions of dollars, the banks are getting a new one every few months.

So UK courts allowing hearing of legal blocking attempt of Brexit, and S&P 500 rallies to a new ATH in the midst of the worst global recession in history?
Yeah, the global market crash, the BIG ONE, is getting closer.
Eliminate your outstanding debts and buy more bitcoin.
Some German and Italian banks going bankrupt because of market Brexit panic could start the BIG ONE. Once bail ins start it will be too late to buy more Bitcoin because buying a whole one will be too expensive for most.

I'm liking the amount of FUD. Hoping for some panic. Just a few days is all I need.
Since we've had a normal summer lull I'm guessing finex longs will crash sometime August. Just put in your low bids and reap the rewards.
I know there's a traders saying that the price of everything will crash during the summer and start rising again in autumn. Sadly it doesn't always work out like that though. July was the summer low point in 2013 after the April high of $230. The price gradually rose after the July low until October. In the following November there was the ATH.
Sell in May and go away doesn't always work.
This year you could have sold at $450 in May, then watched the price go to $800.

For me, bitcoin is the shitcoin. First of its kind, but useless.
You sad, myopic bastard.
I've been playing with my lightning node over the past few days, and yeah, it's still rough and very much a work in progress, but goddamn is it ever impressive tech.
I have seen a glimpse of the future of Bit
corn, and it is very bright.
But when will it pop?
Stock traders say sell in May and go away, so I think it might pop in May.

I think that's a good fair point I hadn't considered before really. Many of these coins with small to mid "market caps" on cmc are probably worth a fraction of the reported value. I don't think it necessarily applies to the larger cap coins though. If you remove the "other" from the chart it's still a fairly major chunk of dominance that has shifted.
The whole thing is just stupid. I could create a shitcoin today with a trillion coins (which I pre-mine 99.99% of them), wash trade one coin on an exchange for $1, and voilŕ my shitcoin has a $1T market cap and be #1 on the cmc listing.
#1 on cmc you say? I'm in. When is the ICO?
I don't think ripple had an ICO.

If you feel like selling then it's the best time to buy. It usually goes up when everyone's expecting a leg down.

Assuming another leg down? Which I assume that you are assuming such other leg down would be below $6k?
Don't you got ur selfie no more money left for buying?
I am assuming that if we get anywhere near $6k, perhaps even breaking below $6,666 (that one is for you Torque-ster).. then the next support would be in the $3k to $4k price range.. which is fucking low.. ... .. so certainly, I am also hoping that support from here down to $6,666 is going to be able to stand up... and we are not breaking lower than $6,666.. Get out your HODL and your BUYDL.. ammunition, peeps.
I assume anything above $6k is a house of cards.
Don't give up too soon, Bitcoin is still putting up a good fight to stay above $8000.

Well I'm quite sure BTC crashed -94% TWICE before, please explain in detail why this (or similar) wouldn't happen again
For higher, we need to go lower. (much lower)
I'm quite sure it also DIDN'T crash -94% numerous times before, so why wouldn't that happen again?
No it didn’t according to ZeroHedge:

My first buy was during that Gox correction. Sadly I needed my money later on...
I don't normally have much respect for zerohedge, but that visual guide is quite good. I hope they also have a positive one visualizing the rallies.

I agree they are fuckin retarded. But that’s why I respect em.
Their visual guide brought back all the highs and lows I felt this year from Bitcoin's price movements. A picture paints a thousand words.
