Any comment here on the suddenly high volume on BTCChina? During the last uptrend (450$-680$) BTCChina's volume was around 5k daily, while now during the last days down and the bounce, daily volume is around 30-35k. While bitstamps volume remained the same.
Some one here implied that coinbase was now buying from BTCChina instead of Bitstamp, maybe they made this switch to implement Litecoin soon? Don't forget litecoin's founder is working at Coinbase.

holy shit, could it be the last pump before it crashes to the ground perhaps?
Haha, probably just another bulltrap. Posted my thoughts on litecoin in anoter topic:
Here is the one-week resolution chart of LTC vs CNY from the liquid OKCoin exchange. The rightmost green candle could be a long-awaited trend reversal for litecoin prices, given the relatively high volume . . .

Personally I think LTC will keep falling untill BTC is really "bubbling", look at the last two bubbles and compare them with the ltc/btc ratio.. Probably this is just a bulltrap for LTC or maybe they will move sideways for a little while

^^ This. Looks like that big buy was no whale accumulator, but a/many shorter(s) closing their positions for
low slippage.
Potentailly bearish in reality as 11k was waaay too high for the market to make any significant move down.
Now at 5.5k, there are not enough shorts to squeeze IMO.
What does this mean? I am not very familiar with the technical terms...
Normally when you market buy 3-4k, you get a slippage of a few %. For example if the price is 460, but there is only 4k coins to 500, you get a slippage of around 8%. When there is a wall at 470, you only get a slippage of a few %. I hope this is clear for you now. Maybe some traders could elaborate this a bit more.

Just check and compare it's fundamental data at

Dogecoin seems indeed to be the number one Altcoin, only second to to the mighty Bitcoin. However it's ride will probably be much wilder than that of Bitcoin.

The opening of Circle makes the buying easier for the average Joe and will increase adoption. After all the merchant adoptions I had the idea that we were lagging behind with customer adoption. I think this will set things straight. Also the fact that you can use your credit card to buy (even if your not a native American) will increase the demand significantly.

Is double bottom bullish or bearish?
Does it matter the second bottom is lower or higher than the first?
Double bottom is bullish, double top is bearish.
Second bottom higher would be better, since we have higher lows going on then.

Conspiracy Theory:
Maybe the 30k seller has a lot of more coins and he just wanted some fiat to push up the price. On top of that, the buy of the 30k wall was received quit bullish.

I noticed that, but their previous top is 2353 (Bitstamps 395.55). So they didn't break their previous top. I should have mentioned I was looking at Huobi.

20x leverage is just madness, seriously. A 5% drop of your buy-in price will get you margin called and since bitcoin is very volatile it´s pretty easy to meet that target.

This is some nice price action but not buying yet. Ive been tricked before!
Full disclosure: Hodler for life.

We have to hold above 410 for a few weeks, on rising volume, before I will be convinced the downturn is officially over. If we're still above 410 by Xmas, I'm definitely buying more. Until then.... meh....
Also a Hodler for life.
I agree, but I am convinced that the bulls are trying to draw a perfect mirror image of last years rally.
Back to $420. People that sold at $425-$430 should reconsider getting back in soon.
I think we will first get a pullback to 400-410 (2500 CNY), after that up again!

Now that the US has put out a notice for auction of 50000 BTC, i see big investors and whales dumping to bring down the price so that they can buy in cheap and pickup those 50K coins. Something similar to what happened when they announced the sale the last time. My only issue is, once the price settled down it did not move up as quickly as everyone anticipated. Could this mean another long drawn bear run? Don't know for sure, but im buying in when these coins are cheap and hoping that the price starts rising once the auction is done and dusted. My 2 satoshi.

I share this view. I think we won't go anywhere untill the 144k from DPR are auctioned off and a similair pattern will appear next two auctions.

I know lots of people like her followed reptilia ardently, but look where he is now. Somewhere pumping some scamcoin and playing some forum-based medieval kingdom RPG to blend out the dire reality. It's sad.
What's important to understand is that it is way worse to make a bad move than to make no move. The easiest way to do this is realize that there are actually hundreds of opportunities you aren't taking every day, where you are missing out on so much money. It's only that you have a limited scope of attention so you will be only psychologically exposed to some.

Monero is junk.
I am convinced, by facts and logic, that it is the best investment on the planet at this time. If it goes lower, it becomes even better.
Fact: U.N. estimates global black market at 2 tn USD in 2012.
Fact: PQ=MV
Fact: Cryptonote is the only dark transaction protocol providing useful levels of unlinkability and untraceability.
Fact: XMR is the leading cryptonote coin by orders of magnitude in liquidity.
Fact: XMR is not usable by non-technical persons without trusting a web wallet today, but will be when GUI, DB, and multi-sig are officially released.
Logic: Dark markets will adopt the best usable privacy and hence PQ is assured to approach some fraction of 2tn
Fact: Multinational corporations require to maintain secrecy in their internal cross-border transactions.
Logic: When XMR liquidity is high enough, it will be adopted by multinational corporations for internal cross-border transactions
Fact: Nation-states and the central banks which own them seek to enslave the planet, taking control of financial assets at will.
Logic: Wealth will migrate to dark storage, and when XMR has sufficient liquidity, it will be the dominant form of dark storage.
There is a clear three stage path from miniscule to gigantic, each step of which bears a fundamental inevitability. It is possible although unlikely for an alternative dark ledger to take the lead, but until then, XMR has the most asymmetric risk/return in the history of finance.
The points you made and their relevance are questionable, but even if we accept them all:
-Dark Wallet is being developed for BTC. Once that works there is no point at all in adopting a lower liquidity lower confidence altcoin that will basically be a clone of BTC.-Monero shares the same problems of Proof of Work coins (including BTC of course) so if BTC dies because of that (or any reason at all intrinsic to BTC), Monero is no different. If BTC survives and Dark Wallet can be used for anonymity on BTC, Monero will not have a purpose anymore.
Quoting smooth (On of the core developers of XMR) about this subject:
In a practical sense how is Amero different from Darkwallet?
Darkwallet uses a form of stealth addresses that is similar to Monero. This won't work with regular Bitcoin users though, you will have to use regular address unless both parties are using Darkwallet (or some wallet using a compatible stealth scheme). In a sense this feature makes Darkwallet a bit like an altcoin that is sharing the Bitcoin blockchain. If you are exchanging with regular Bitcoin users you will lose the unlinkability benefit of stealth addresses (but you can still do it and you can keep unlinkability if you never reuse addresses).
Darkwallet uses CoinJoin style mixing. This has issues that have been widely discussed elsewhere, especially when there aren't a large number of people wanting to mix at the exact same time. (There is a rendezvous process in CoinJoin where people making truncations at the same time are mixed together.) This can be still be used even with regular Bitcoin addresses, but only if the sender is using Darkwallet. A Darkwallet user who receives coins from a non-Darkwallet user will receive non-mixed coins, and also will potentially have address linkability if the address is reused. By contrast Monero uses ring signatures for mixing which doesn't require a rendezvous process the way CoinJoin does, but does have some other issues (some discussed in
MRL-0001)
Since Darkwallet is based on Bitcoin it shares the rest of Bitcoins advantages and disadvantages (biggest advantage being its relatively wide adoption, but again when interacting with non-DW users your feature set is reduced). Monero is a new code base that does some things differently (for example not having a fixed block size), which again has advantages and disadvantages. The relative immaturity of the code is a big disadvantage.

Well this is boring. Go watch the XMR chart instead. Up 30% today

some days one altcoin rises a lot, but every day we see lots of alts going nowhere but down.
It is like gambling.
I could instead watch the guy that managed to win 1M from few dollars by winning a giant parlay
XMR is not a gamble: It's got the only viable tech for dark liquidity, and leads the market in software, liquidity, and social capital. XMR is not an "alt": It is an innovation on par with BTC in its sophistication and in its economic importance.
Monero is junk.
Stop listening to Risto and the others, they don't know what the hell they are talking about anymore.
Does "the others" include the core devs who are in contact with the xmr-devteam about the underlying technology?
Anyone that thinks Monero is a good investment XD

XMR questions: have you looked at that new web wallet? Is it secure? Is it traceable?
Can't say much about the security, but it's basicly like blockchain.info:
All of the heavy lifting is done client-side, which means that My Monero can never spend your funds on your behalf or without your authorisation.
Transactions of monero are not traceable/linkable in general. However, if you use a webwallet your IP may be logged, so if you really want to stay anonymous you should use TOR. The monero project itself is also working on i2p integration for monero:

Historical moment:
We went below previous all-time high after making a new one.
Keep this in mind when the hyper bulls come out again with their empty promises of "guaranteed growth" based on exponential trend projections in a year or so from now when* the next serious rally takes place.
* "If", if you prefer, but in my opinion, it's more a matter of "when".

They are talking about trying to lend 30-40k btc to get btc to gox levels.. (135$). Don't really believe this is true though, but you never know.

It usually goes like this then: sideway movement -> drop to bottom -> sideway movement -> another drop to make a new bottom. There is no real bouncing like we've seen before..

How do you think Stamp hack will affect bitcoin price when they open trades again?
Will price drops?
TY!
If this was 2013 or earlier, news like BitStamp hack would have caused immediate dumping on all exchanges, but there's only been a slight depress in the price following release of the news. If anything that suggests to me Stamp's reopening will not have any real effect, but who knows.
Maybe we'll have a Gox-like inflation on Bitstamp upon reopening.... but this time, traders on other exchanges may not follow such a rally the way they did on Gox last year.
Is there a thread that discusses the Bitstamp hack at length? What are the facts that we know?
Most info can be found on reddit (
www.reddit.com/r/bitcoin). It was speculated on reddit that this (
https://blockchain.info/address/1L2JsXHPMYuAa9ugvHGLwkdstCPUDemNCf?offset=0&filter=0) was the hacker's adress. But that adress has, although small, inputs after bitstamp halted trading. So maybe they just moved the coins themselves? The high fees make that questionable however.

So we either bounce now or dive lower I suppose!
We didn't really bounce last bottom (after april 2013 bubble), credits to dnaleor for the pic.

I just bought a bitcoin for £200 = 300USD from virwox because I don't have online banking

Is that a good price?
If it is good for you, it is good, by definition.

If we reach 300+ level, it will be ok price
if we stay under 300, I guess you will regret it
Well, I can't deposit to exchanges like btc-e or bitstamp because you have to be 18 and provide ID. Even though I bought my bitcoin for 300USD - Bitcoin will rise in 2015, right?
Why didn't you use localbitcoins? That would've saved you atleast some of the 50$ fee..

Bids are back on finex, but bear in mind that they can easily get removed again. The guy/entity probably has a script running on the API to remove bids if the price comes within a certain % range of it. In conclusion, don't get fooled by the orderbook.

Well spotted. There is support, somewhere, but don't be looking at fake data and hoping to find truth. This is what a market
is. It is nothing more than a price discovery mechanism. If the market were purely open and transparent, would it be a better indicator of value? Who knows? It would be an interesting experiment, but we have no markets currently that are
not manipulated from which we might harvest useful data or glean useful information...,
so; in the end, speculation is the driver of the market. Thus, gentlemen, your work is cut out and laid before you.
Best of luck.
I hope the 260 local bottom will hold for now, otherwise we'll probably see a retest of 250 where the SMA200 lies.
@gotmilk: I've witnessed a significant amount of asks pulling on multiple occasions, so you're probably right.
@dreamspark: That could be a valid strategy.

Good concept, trading stocks for bitcoin.
But it's hard to
trust you and the site because you are a completely newbie telling people to send their bitcoins to a site nobody has heard about before. High scam probability factor...
1broker is the only kinda trustworthy bitcoin only broker... Unlike the Simplefx broker which is like 3-4 months old. 1broker was around even before the 1000$ bitcoin bubble...
I am pretty sure there are several people here trading on 1broker for quiet some time.
The UI is pretty nice, easy to understand and works like a charm. Didn't expierence lag when trading (although I only made a few trades). Furthermore, they have their own topic over here which excists since 2012 ->
