+1 for the poker website!!

It doesn't look that bad. I am just sad I've missed it and that I can't afford to buy a couple of BTC now.
It may get back to 1024$ before Monday ends....

From what I see it recovered over 100$ (close to 140$) in some 7h, at least on Bitstamp.



The funny thing is that this means nothing. A lot can (and will) happen in the next 30 days.

There were any news I've missed? Or just somebody has realized he was selling all these months when he should have been buying?  
I don't mind, but it's .. odd..

It was $4090 for a short time at Bitstamp. Does anybody know what happened, what made all traders and the trading bots go crazy? I didn't seen anything important in the news...

It's just Bart Simpson on the markets.

Maybe uninvited to the party, but hey...
This is a Bitcoin ATM @ Iulius Mall Timisoara

The poor light and the cheap phone camera also make it look uglier than it should.
Still.. it exists. And it's a rather new addition.

If he's not rich by now, maybe he will be in 2 years.


The higher the merrier. It looks good until now!

Do you think I like to be verified as a special snowflake? But on the other hand, it could have been worse.
I guess that's the AI (verifAI™) not really well fine tuned. I've already spotted other mistakes.
But be positive, it's just its first day in production...

Wasn't today the day supposed to see a dump, because of Bitfinex, USDT and so on (sorry for mentioning an altcoin-ish thing)?
However, pump is fine for me, I would enjoy it even more if it'd be a mega pump.

Or in less than 2 years. History is repeating.

So all you want is to die happy that your kids can enjoy your riches?
I'd prefer to enjoy myself an easy life, the longer the better. So for me it matters "how long". Can you blame me?

Although the timing is not great for my plans, a small correction for refueling is normal.
No need for getting negative because of this. We'll see more "halts" like this until the next ATH, whether it'll be 50k, 100k or more.
The 6k sounds low though. I would not like that. (Although everything is possible.)

It has fallen to 8k Thursday too and returned to ~8700. I'll stay optimistic it'll get back there easily.

Right. It links Libra accounts to FB accounts* which, if they don't have your real world identity have a great chance to get closed.
So for you and me it will be "pseudo-anonymous". For the others who pay (or get around) for the data... oh well...

* From what I know, they said that with Libra you'll be able to pay from FB account to FB account.

Great summary!
And for the first time in history, (almost) everybody at bitcointalk will agree with Lauda  

In Europe it's not as widely spread as in the States. Give it a little more time. LN could make the things easy and fast; if not other companies enter the BTC payment processing field too.


Are you sure they'll keep money locked in the app? Are you sure that coin will pay for the pizza? Are you sure your expectations are not too big, too fast?

It depends how high will Bitcoin go and how quick. You know, never say never, maybe you'll be in that book too...

Edit: something to note is that the author (Ben Mezrich) seems to be already 50 years old, so the book is not from the far future 

I expect the real deal to happen tomorrow after the banks open.
Will it be FOMO or it will be a dump/cash out? Will we go under 10k or to 14k?

Any "realistic" bet?

HODL is is clearly the best option. Clearly, Bitcoin will rise more, sooner or later.
But short term movements are interesting too. Will keep my eyes at the 12k mark, let's see if it'll fall (until) tomorrow.  


1 BTC/Lambo is so far anymore. Maybe Christmas? Or I wish too much?

I'd say that these numbers are a bit too pessimistic at the current time.
Isn't it just a stop for gaining more steam... (and wait for the altcoins)?



You made me hope for a second, but.. no. Most of the altcoins that matter for me are deep in blood.



There was the saying 1 DOGE = 1 DOGE all the way down from 200 satoshi to 20 satoshi.
I don't like anymore this kind of saying.

And also they forget that Bitcoin was 4000$ just 3 months ago, so the 2k move down was a correction after basically a huge 3x jump.

I've read this yesterday, I was thinking about poor souls that still believe that the price of gold will clearly rise...

The investors many are crying for. The investors that are calling 20% profit something already good enough to cash out, not mentioning the +200% since March...
You can't expect everybody have the vision and you can't expect them to care...

Yup. I like the look of this morning.

You can't imagine how much I envy you right now 
I'll be rotting in the office for the next many hours...

Shhhh, don't scare them off...

A special category is made of the ones that believe they own BTC, but all they have is an account in a web application.
Of the two categories, I don't even know who to feel sorry for  

They start to figure that out. And now they also have a good window of opportunity for buying. Will they use it? Naaaah...

Sorry, but this reminds me too much of the Christmas lights on palm trees #fail.

10168! Choo choo!

I would have preferred to have this dump just 12h later.
Actually I guess I just don't like the price going down when I'm in holiday...

Thank you. I think that you know how badly I needed it.
And end of July is kinda best time to be in Northern Greece.



Well, I'd like to spend some. And I hoped I can sell some satoshi at about 10000...EURO / BTC.
And you know, this should happen during the holiday, so I have more money when I need it.


Maybe somebody can discuss with those whales to buy before I lose my patience? 

SanDisk and AData are not happy about this.

Although possibly for only seconds, you've just got that. And rather quick. The force is strong in your guardian angel.
I asked for more than a week to get Bitcoin back to over 10000 EUR during my holiday and it was not granted.

... Bitcoin? 

I remember I've asked all friends' floppy disks to transfer NetQ Rally from somewhere. Iirc it was about 100MB. Of course, some of the disks have failed, but I was careful enough and I asked the guy I got it from to keep the archives for a couple of days until I am sure.

Last time I've had a 1.44 floppy in hand was a few years ago, somebody gave it to me to look at the sun for a (partial) eclipse (!).

I didn't look too long, since I didn't read about it I didn't trust the safety of that method.
And indeed, it was not a great experience.

At the end I've just searched on the internet for much better views / movies.

For now the USB stick or even the HDD icon should do. Nowadays they are common enough.
Or, for the antiquity lovers, the punch card. 

Interesting news. And... I've fixed the link for ya 

Did anyone think that CSW would give an interview for free?
No. This is just an elaborated "consortium" to FUD that Bitcoin price could fall. (Not that it wouldn't be volatile anyway).

It looked vaguely familiar and I had to check.
Soo.. which one of you is observing from Romanian seaside?
A shortened link to google street view: https://tinyurl.com/y46jqdmb

     Then I have to stay silent about the days 25 years ago when I was going in September


Good old internet. Shows pictures for everything. And yes, I don't go for many years anymore to Romanian seaside exactly because it has become a shithole.


That grass and trees nobody looks after, the cars parked without logic and the "hotel" names rang some bells. But I had to search a little myself. I've been in that town far too long ago to remember such details.

Interesting..
From what I know the football clubs in UK cannot advertise betting related businesses. Yerry Mina was fined for this not long ago.
I know, their sleeve shows only BTC, but the web page of Watford FC clearly states: Sportsbet.io
I fear the BTC shirt sleeves may be short-lived...




It should be before Christmas, so we can buy some nice presents too from the profit.

It's .... S e p t e m b e r ... things have to start moving. Just a lil' bit more patience. Just a little...

How big is the estimation of their initial stash? 'Cause it may take a while...

And btw, observing from inside the salt mine of Praid, RO.  

33BTC  reported now. Compared to the 10k and some traders' expectations this is less than nothing (figure of speech)

Edit: 34 indeed. Do the orders start moving or is it just wishful thinking?

Observing quite a big dump.    .... 8600...

Observing a recovery to 8k and the obvious trolling.
I expect a good week and an even better month.

Although the candles for the last hours really look nice, I start to miss the days of 10k. Any predictions on when will they be back (whether in the way to 100k or not yet)?



And about Vodka - I've seen that in Ukrainian it's "horilka". No. Bad translation imho.
In Romania, I've drank horinka: it's basically a different name for palinka and it's clearly not Vodka. Palinka (horinka) is double-distilled fruit brandy, usually 48-58% alcohol, vodka is distilled from cereals with only some 40% alcohol.

All good spirits are a balm for the heart  

I had to search on the internet for this product, that region doesn't really have a tradition in making palinca. Palinka is a Hungarian word after all and Arges county was not under Habsburg empire. (And there are quite some tricks to make it strong without destroying its taste, I don't know if this guy knows them or not.) The regions with real tradition and known for good palinca are Salaj county, Bihor county and Maramures county.

I've drank maybe over 100x more palinca than vodka in my life and unfortunately there are too many vendors that sell crap   just because 75% of the buyers don't drink it or just cannot feel the taste anyway because of the high alcohol content. Also some just sell weaker drink (tuica) as palinca.
However, whenever you decide to drink it, let me know how it was. I hope it is indeed a balm for the heart.

Edit:

Yes, they do! They combine best the taste and the strength.


Yes, please move it into glass bottle as soon as you can. If kept too long in plastic, the spirits can get some (bad) taste from it.


Actually there's a good chance they're both palinca, although I expect the one from Zalau be stronger.
At least on the website Emil Florescu tells that he makes palinca, stating clearly that it's double-distilled.


Edit: PS. Those from my image were glass bottles. Recycled indeed, but certainly glass.

It's up before down before up 
Weren't people telling that it has to drop? Just they didn't agree on the range (8400, 8200 or 7700).


Now let's see what surprises the week-end brings...

I start to think that you jinxed it with that game.  

Just a new 150$ drop, but that's not really exciting actually.
I don't know if we are heading for the infamous 7700 mark or it's a preparation for a nice jump towards 9000.

So long "bottom at 7700$"  
Black Friday anyone?

Just another Satoshi wannabe with website, advertising, a story behind and willingness to convince people (and government institutions).
Since he cannot really prove anything, he's just another fly near the "I am Satoshi" pie.

Something may have change: some people's expectations (and dreams). But they are too fluid to be measured correctly, however, those may have (partly) caused some of the price / trend changes.

My entire week was bad, busy and tiresome. And now this. F*#$*@ \3#$#@@(#@(#@!  
And whatever the charts are telling, downwards is not really a good direction for the price.


From $6950 to $6000 there's still some distance.
Of course, with my luck, it can be covered in a matter of minutes.  


Edit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sw0jF5R6qZY

Isn't the Chinese New Year a good historic moment for a new bottom? That's at the end of January...

It was explained to me nicely that even a dip to 6000$ levels is to be expected sooner or later.
I was so sure for half of this year we'll see prices near the ATH this winter I am quite lost now. I guess that we have to rethink it all. That's what I do. I start thinking that the sooner we get those low prices the better. Then the growth can start again.

I can agree it's steady and we like the growth, but it's quite far from slow  

Thanks for this. I needed a pinch of hope.
Although I keep telling myself:

I'm surprised. No screenshot, no green dildos, no cucumbers?
Shocked or wary?

NeuroticFish likes that rather neurotic cat.
Especially after the excess of ... not #nohomo images 

I'm not sure that's the best use for NAS. I use at home a NAS as media server and keep everything backed up onto portable HDDs I only update now and then.
Unless you have a smarter NAS where you do HDD mirroring or even better RAID setup, I think that portable HDDs can be a better backup.


Set your wallet show the value in bits  , it should look rich!

I'm not surprised. My bet on Mic's thread was 19k+ and there are only 2 days left to reach that.
So parabolic up is a must!

Promises made by politicians. Veeeery reliable, lol!

Happy New Year bitcointalk,
Happy New Year WO!

This is a horrifying glimpse of what will automated spam bots do with this forum in a few years?!

I think that these are the numbers:

I'm not sure I'll cry but I guess I should. I mean WTF?!?!

It's somewhat entertaining to find out it's ponzi only if you are not an early adopter.

And yes, they are the majority in the world, we are just a small and strange(!) minority.

I fully understand you!
(I've learned that it's not healthy to assume a certain level of comprehension, especially in the "real world".)
Because there's quite a chance you may have more success with the turtle...

But that doesn't make them "less ponzi", isn't it?

Fixed 

I guess that you should start from here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5216208
For mobile you need at least 68.4.1

I have read that post I've linked, I've checked my mobile version, I've seen that it's 68.4.1 and I didn't check further.
I think that they may be expecting mobile users keep automated updates on.
Of course, assuming anything about the users is plain wrong.

I see somebody has already uploaded it as a preparation: http://cdn23.us1.fansshare.com/photos/meme/vegeta-meme-wallpaper-510512536.jpg

Not for the contest, just a happy screenshot showing Bitcoin was > 9k

I'd speculate that it could make us an interesting 10k surprise during the week-end, but then it'll have go back to lower values (under 8k) until the Chinese New Year festivities end.

Because up-and-down-and-up-and-down make traders rich?

Incorrect. You guys should ask LoyceV for confirmation, but afaik his bot is getting *only* the *initial* *unedited* version of the posts.

Edit: Congrats @bitserve !

So indeed it can be used for checking the winners.


I check it now and then, but not often enough to justify (such a nice) domain name. Possibly about 5 requests / week.

You are a bit late, the competition was already won

Chinese New Year, the new virus, ...
So no, sorry. Not now.

Oooo! You're Agent Smith! https://youtu.be/JrBdYmStZJ4?t=196
Now, just a small exercise of imagination: if some humans can trigger this reaction from you, what you expect to see when you'll meet aliens? 

No. They just waste time and money.

Isn't the Chinese expedition still there on the dark side of the moon?

Good morning WO, I'm observing a comfortable 9339.99$ and a much better look of the price charts. It looks like a great morning.
Let's hope it'll go in the same direction even after the coronavirus panic ends.

Yup, 2017/2018 didn't kill us, so it made us stronger.
And also yes, HODL as much as you afford.


We can't just have everything, can we?  
A bit more rise may trigger FOMO and then you'll get the volumes too  


Since Gox has shown it's possible, various people have various expectations, one higher than another, and all call it "moon".


I am quite scared too. And it's not because of the news mafia, it's because I know how inefficient the government and the hospitals are in my country.

I almost got scared that nobody here noticed the green candle dildo.

I think that you should have been asking this in the altcoin speculation area.
Yes, some altcoins were lately recovering nicely and the numbers show that. This may mean a lot or may mean nothing, since we are mostly focused here on Bitcoin and I didn't see proper TA for the major worthy altcoins.
I think that altcoin season (constant bigger gains than Bitcoin) may be sooner than 3 years though. It may depend (or not) on when Bitcoin surpasses 20k and how long the good side of the market cycle will last.
Since money is comeing back into Bitcoin, it's not unexpected that some altcoins get their share too. But I am not convinced we are close to altcoin season. One flower doesn't make it spring.

Is anyone stressed? I thought that the unofficial mottos are "It's fine" and "HODL & chill". 
If it would fall under 9000 I may be a bit uneasy, but for now the numbers still look good.

Yeah, they are .. doing what? Airing the infected phones to spread the virus? Makes sense.
Or it would make more sense it's something completely different, unrelated to the virus.

The Chinese government may easily cremate 1000s of people just because they don't agree their politics or to hide the real damage of the virus, but that movie doesn't prove anything.

We have to have more patience than them. The bullets will deplete eventually.

This dip came perfectly for me. Now it can go back to 10k+, I don't mind.

There are a huge variety of humans, from smart, nice and common sense ones to blatant idiots. You know that. Don't let the scourges affect your overall feelings, you are better than that.

Yeah, I've also "bought the dip" in early March.

There are the mutations, there are the anti-vaccinists, there are careless people (always!) so I'd be also highly focused on the development of antiviral drugs designed to cure/kill this nasty little thing.

Easy to say, but I won't have funds to invest for at least one more month 

Yep, China is getting back to normal. The top problems are in Europe now (+Iran and S.Korea). US seem to be "catching up" too (in a bad way).

They'll print shitloads of money and bailout a ton of companies. I expect all of them cry like babies sooner or later, or simply tell they have to sack most of their employees if they get no help (so the upper management can keep the huge benefits). It has happened before, now it should come easier.

Yep, me too.
Home office was never this hard since the kids are also at home 24/7.

Bitcoin : $6245 (just a heads up)
