Well I invested 1500$ in Bitcoin since last March or so. Now i'm nearing 1000$. I've not made a penny.
I think i'm ready to quit trading. I'll never get that money back. I dunno how one could loose so much so fast, even if one is totally inexperienced, it seems one would make money at least 50% of the time. But i've made money something like 2% of the time. I just don't have the patience for this.

So WikiLeaks came out with another flop.

Turns out the US & UK were bugging German and French leaders (nothing new here).

Also turns out that Merkel, Hollande and Schuable do not see eye to eye on how to sort this mess out (yawn).

Is it just me, or has WikiLeaks become incredibly irrelevant of late? They were probably sitting on this waiting for an opportune time to release it in an attempt to get some press.

Don't worry guys, Gemini volume's picking up! 19 bitcoins traded in the last hour alone
Bullish!

Yawn, wake me up below $200 or above $350

china seems to wait for bitstamp

interesting to see how one tiny 1400 wall can easily stop them. i still think that china is 80% fake.

China turning bullish

1K in shorts just closed on Finex... still 14K+ to go

then what?

i think we'll see 1000-5000 for a year or 2 and bam 32,000 crash down to 10,000 bubble of the year 2017

by 2020, we're back at 32,000 heading for 100,000.

if bitcoin is very successful we're taking ~1million a coin no joke.

bears be watchin.... 

Yeah, they dumps at $434 hoping (and praying if bears are religious) for prices to drop below $300 those unrealistic fucks.        

I am so sick reading stuff like this over and over. This kind of elitist thinking is very dangerous imho.
The Whitepaper says "A peer to peer cash" system. As long as lightning network and co are not production ready
the coffee goes in the blockchain - deal with it.

Also the 7$/TX theoretical cost ist retarded, this is mostly because the 1MB blocklimit, if we would raise it to say 10MB
it would go down to 0,70$/TX and so on. ( of course this shit is inefficient, but it makes sooo much economic sense wtf )

I know decentralization above everything blabla, but I think we have to make a tradeoff here, most fullnodes are servers or on cable
connections anyway. Those machines don't care much if the blocksize is 1, 2, 4 or 8 MB... They run anyway, top 5 fullnode networks:
