Price may drop to $100 or something like this and I can lose everything very fast, right? Is it even possible? I'm really afraid of this.

last call before price rising to 300 400 500 and beyond 33000 50000

The mods at /r/bitcoin are now deleting every post that mentions the existence of the "other" implementation of bitcoin, whatever the contents.  Dozens of posts that had hundreds of upvotes and hundreds of comments.  And banning users who defend it, too.

So much for the great age of freedom and stuff that bitcoin was going to bring.

Oh, and the bitcoin "news" webshites, like CoinDesk, have been as silent on the topic as any statist newsmedia would be.

About 12% of nodes are running XT with zero blocks mined.

If this number doesn't start rising XT will be DOA, Bitcoin will have worked as intended, and Gavin/Mike will have egg on their face for unnecessarily causing a rift and spooking the market.

I support a block size increase but not something as contentious as XT. There has to be a better solution.

Personally I think this will blow over soon and better solutions will be found.

How about you have another look right now?

So, how long do you guys think we'll last below $250? Do you think we can hold on to somewhere between $240 and $260 until sometime October? This range does definitely seem great for buying and HOLDING purposes.

That's partially true and I'll be the first to admit it. I want the price to go down IF it leads to cause the core devs to implement a workable scale patch or else leads to some other group replacing them. I want bitcoin to succeed as an electronic peer to peer cash system as it was designed, not as some cloistered settlement network only used by the same assholes who run the current system. 

Fiat money is debt. It is lent into existence. That makes the entire global financial system a giant pyramid scheme. I don't have to wish for economic Armageddon to see one coming (or more likely a series of disasters  eventually having the same effect). I don't have to cause it or contribute to causing it. It's going to happen as a mathematical certainty.  If we don't find a way to escape the system, we will go down with it.   

A network capacity of seven transactions/sec is a life boat with very few seats.

Did you read what i quoted?

As i understand he meant that putting his coins in cold storage and wait for others to make them valuable was some sort of contribution. It is not only him but many around here that think this way. If everyone did the same with their coins the whole bitcoin experience would be forgotten in a month...

Eveyone can do whatever they want with their coins buit dont tell anyone that you are trying to help out if you only try to help yourself.

I'm gonna pee in you pool a little. If you investment goes down 50% and then goes up 50%, you still have only 75% of what you started with. If BTC was $100, then went down to $50, then back up to $75, that's what I mean.

All of this extra activity related to the Mavrodi pyramid is likely to increase the number of xactions on the network.  If this leads to a backlog,  no fee xactions will probably never get confirmed and fees will go up for anyone who needs their bitcoin transferred in a timely manner, possibly up substantially. 

The power of exponential growth can be truly awesome.  possibly faster. A ponzi scheme needs an ever-expanding pool of suckers to continue.  A collapse is inevitable regardless of the block size outcome. This pump can last for a long time, but if the goddamn blocksize cap isn't raised (or preferably eliminated entirely), it's going to collapse when the network crashes which may be even before Mavrodi runs out of suckers.

Leveraged shorts are going up substantially on BFX, as well as longs.  If I had to guess, there will be a short squeeze before a long squeeze.  Liquidity providers have been caught unprepared for the short term demand of the ponzi.  It cannot last but can go on for months.  When this thing unwinds, we may find ourselves in a new Nash equilibrium below $200.  The fallout will damage Bitcoin possibly even worse than Gox.  Expect more bans and heavier regulation. 

Why are the Chinese doing this now all of a sudden?

well i guess reaching 330 was the top now we should get ready for landing to about 250 each

You fool, this bot pump will be bigger and better than the last

Damn son, where are your balls.  What are you for halloween, a bitch?

There have been cryptsy warning signs that have grown recently which started ever since they got in bed with paycoin.

Luckily there are enough regulated and competing exchanges where price discovery cannot so easily be  manipulated like last time with mtGox.

I would be extremely skeptical with any centralized / unregulated exchange.... including btc-e/

Can't you guyz and galz just launch this mofo to 10k so I can buy a boat?

Is that really too much to ask for?
