@Blitz: I'll admit, you've been around much longer than me, so my impressions of the early days of BTC trading are pretty vague. Could be that you're right about the percentages being (roughly) the same.
I will say that much: the almost linear, nearly uninterrupted decline from the $32 peak to the $2 double bottom in 2011 looks almost comical by today's standards. Not a single big mean reversion trade. My point is: looking at the 2011 decline from $32, I simply can't imagine there was any substantial capital in the hands of what you'd call 'traders', otherwise there would have been the occasional pause when a major resistance was being hit and traders, on average, closed a short to see where price is heading.
It was even more comical when it reached negative numbers (i remember seeing negative values back then but i cant find any picture right now) on mtgox back then and people who panicked and sold for almost zero wanted to reset all trades of the day.
does anyone else experience this 'gray rectangle' problem?
it occurs only in this thread as far as I can tell.
looks like some chrome bug in relation to images.
I have a similar problem but the grey part is at the bottom instead of to the right. I use Fedora on Linux, but the problem only occurs in this forum.
The bug appared when the forum started using an image service (imgur) to store and "sanitize" images. It may have to do with the size of the file and the speed of the internet connection to the source where the image is uploaded from; basically there is an insufficient timeout somewhere along that path, and the file gets truncated. Reducing the image size usually helps. Try saving as JPEG format with quality 80 or less; it may get a bit fuzzy, but then you can wrap it in a link to the full version.
It is rumoured than, when the bitcoin price will reach 10'000 USD, the admins will be able to afford to hire a teenage programmer to fix this bug (and re-enable the uploading of avatars).
IT'S A LINUX BUG, mr Stolfi
Linux bug planted by the NSA
More specifically a Chrome on Linux OS bug, no sign of it on Windows. It's also not just missing parts of the image, it's also blocking text content and they move.
But only bitcoiners experience this problem. Oh, and trolls.
Easy fix is to ignore NotLambchop.
EDIT: Hmmm, now I'm having doubts, perhaps it's only a Chrome bug and I just didn't experience it anymore because I ignored NotLambchop.
Either way there's an easy fix.
I was experiencing this too some weeks ago. Now i dont. Chrome on Ubuntu btw...
Did you apply the same fix for the Brony Bug?
I did nothing
It fixed itself... Or i did something that fixed it without knowing what it was...
EUR/BTC breaking out.. things could get very interesting if syriza gets into power in greece.. euro collapse, bank runs.. loss of faith in the euro perhaps?
Nah not a collapse yet, they're just saying that to scare people so they don't vote for them. Can't have anyone challenge the status quo after all..
well ssyriza is ahead in 6 different polls by 3-10%.. what the fuck do they care if the euro crashes cos they wont be using it anymore lol if the euro continues to fall, the danish peg might get broken too which would lead to further mayhem.. greece could lead the eu down a nasty road which could lead to loss in faith in the euro.. chain reaction.. not that i have a clue whats really going to happen..
Not going to happen though...
7 days until the Euro crashes. Can't wait.
I'm assuming you are referring to the troika's demand that Greece submit a bail-out plan that they will not submit, prompting a Greek Gov't shutdown and a massive bank-run.
What non-senses are you people writing here? What Gov't shutdown? Bank-run?!? I have a feeling you know the situation as you are from Mars. There's 0 chance of Government shutdown, they have a brand new Gov't less then a month old which got elected with massive support announcing that it will do exactly what it is doing now. If Greece leaves the Euro-zone it will be better both for the Greece and the Euro.
Greece is out of money because the fools who got elected promised tax breaks and the fools who elected them stopped paying their taxes, hoping to get a better deal. So now it's not just the banks that are out of cash, but the government as well.

Somebody deleted my post? Censorship?? On a bitcoin forum??
