This is quite scary. Let's analyze the facts:
i don't think that google trend is a good indicator for the interest in bitcoins. since i got into bitcoins 2 years ago i never googled 'bitcoin' or 'buy bitcoins' again, because i already know where to look. the same may apply for some people who discovered bitcoin during the recent rise and fall.
google trends may show that the rate of new users is lower that during the rise, but it does not show that people are turning away from bitcoin.

It was a 750 coins cash out
IMO with that many coins, you should be able to make your own opinions about selling/buying or not...

This is a very nice development.
also their german and austrian branches
lieferservice.de and
lieferservice.at accept bitcoins for payment.
Here's the blog post (german)

Does this mean that Chinese will have a hard time buying bitcoins since there banks may not want to allow transfers to bitcoin exchanges?
I'm a bit confused over this statement since just a few weeks ago a representative from the central bank of China came out with positive signals on bitcoin.
Exactly, china accounts for over 50% of BTC volume, this will deal a huge blow to long term potential of bitcoin. Get out while you still can
No,
BTCChina accounts for over 50% of total volume, but since they have 0% trading fees, lots of foreign users try to increase their bitcoin holdings there. So not all the coins bought on BTCChina are bought by chinese people.

What does volume refer to? Deposits/withdrawals or also trades between people?
Obviously no trading fees would massively inflate the number of trades too. Even if you sell at 6000 and buy at 5999.99 you've still made a profit, so there's much more incentive to day trade.
trading volume usually is the amount of coins traded between traders. so if you sell 100 BTC to some other guy, the trading volume is increased by 100 BTC.

600 wall holding up for now, maybe next bounce will eat it. I can watch these charts for hours when there's action like this
I wonder if the hackers plan to use the coins stolen from sr2.0 to sell into rallies, or sell after large rallies
They actually stole the coins? I thought it was complete BS after a quick glance. I guess it depends if they are bulls or bears
most likely the operator just ran away with the coins. transaction malleability seemed like a good excuse to him i guess.

the chief editor of a major german economic newssite "Handelsblatt-online" said publicly that
-bitcoin was
hacked-
forged bitcoins are circulating
-the central bank of bitcoin (mtgox) went bankrupt

I hope that is a google translate fail.. If not wow on the fud factor.
Nope, he really said that. I sent him a mail explaining his errors and gave him the advice to ask someone from the community if he has the intentions to write another article or make another video.

Are you gonna sell your coins?
No. No way. Let's just hope Ghash.IO stops doing this and possibly returns to 49%.
Guys, 50% is not a magical number. A pool at 49% is almost as dangerous as a pool at 51%.
The probability of a pool solving another 5 blocks in a row after solving the first one is
2.8% at 49% of total hashrate and
3.45% at 51% of total hashrate. Sure there is a difference, but you can't say a pool at 49% isn't something to worry about.

Yup, as seen in the screenshot above.
Bitcoin will be mainstream in max. 365 days.
This forum is the best way to learn not to trust screenshots

W.T.F.
As someone who had this guy on TV nonstop for 3 weeks 3 years ago I am stunned. Why would you want him smiling from your Website???
Also can't they call him by his full name?

BTW: Did he end up losing his dr. title or not?
Yes, but it was his own decision, no court order.I was wrong, his university reverted his title, so not his decision.

yeah that page is blocked in North Korea where I live, sorry I meant the UK.
You need a torrent client. utorrent was the recommended one for windows last time I messed with that side of things.
I have a torrent client, but the file I download shouldn't be a .exe should it? There's like 9 download buttons all with different URLs.
If you use an adblocker on the site you will only see the magnet symbol, no other "download" buttons with .exe files.

meanwhile the number of unconfirmed transactions is rising with the same speed and has reached 80k
I am not really up to date on the topic, but is that a big issue? The last couple transactions I sent were all confirmed within the next block. My fee was not very high.

I didn't keep track, why is Bitstamp higher than Finex now? Has been the other way around for the last months.
