One thing that I have to say when reading this "bitcoin online bar" is that if you have a lot of bitcoins it surely doesn't mean that you would know something more about trading than those who have fewer.
Couldn't agree more. Someone with lots of BTC claiming that they "know the market" better than anyone else just screams arrogance.
Was the guy last month who found out he had $880k worth a master of Bitcoin?
I have a feeling that was a load of shit to get around tax obligations.
So yes he was a master of bitcoins.

It's hard to believe I have something in common with climate science deniers.
I was converted over to Bitcoin and Austrian economic precisely because of my fundamental understand in environmental sustainability.
Understanding of Environmental Science is the catalyst that accelerates Bitcoin adoption to the masses.
I love that: "science" "deniers" - that's two appeals to authority in a single term. The climate change crowd is the most environmentally destructive out there. To care about carbon emissions over things that actually matter, like pollution, is anti-environmental alarmism. It's just an excuse for a global tax. I'm glad that whole charade is winding down, after changing its marketing from "global warming" to "climate change" after the earth refused to warm as commanded. It was one of the lamest spectacles I've seen.
+1 The greenhouse gas that has the most effect on temperature is water vapour. True story.

A million traded in a day, not every day. Or the liquidity for the market to absorb such an amount. 5% of the current holdings would saturate the entire order book of every brokerage, not that any holder that huge would want to do that, but thats not liquidity atleast not towards our market cap goals. I feel very lucky to have contributed and experienced this, thus far, and plan on trying to make others as happy as I have been. I started a few cold wallets at the beginning of this year for my kids' college funds to that end as well as some other plans to diversify to some non-believers in the future just to try and get more of the word of mouth around. I'm not the type that would be rich very long in an ultra rich position. I would want others to experience the joys of a debt free life, or atleast a shot at a clean slate, as well.
sadly, this is why good people always end up losing; they are constrained by their conscience, while the most mercenary fucktards among us inevitably rise to the top.
Yes, well, look-- when we get to 25k a coin, you guy's PM me and let's all figure something positive to do with our newly minted free time and to help the world. I'm still open for projects before then, but there's more to manage right now.

with great wealth comes great responsibility.
Besides my concerns this new formed btc elite could be partly corrupted in the same way as the present one,
i have much hope that many members of this community will participate in projects which help to change society for the better.
how about our own amusement park? with blackjack and hookers...
i can't think of many things that help society more than those two things

loving that trailing support wall, now 800 at 950. Somebody is really dedicated to make 1k happen.
The 1500 wall at 900 hasn't moved though
Still, why put a wall at 950 if there are only around 4 bitcoins below it until 941 if not for manipulation?
cos i'm an idiot who sold at 520 and didn't buy back in

With the announcement that gox and possibly coinbase is accepting litecoin trading. Do you think altcoins are going to affect bitcoin negatively? I mean people looking to get rich quickly would probably rather buy the cheaper coin than bitcoin. This is going to get complex.
Oh noes. Competition!
No problem with that but it will definitely make consolidation more difficult. Or maybe easier?? I don't know this type of thing is so new in so many ways.
Whatever the result it will be heaven for arbr's

Pannicked. Sold BTC and bought LTC... Sigh... now I'll wait until LTC is 0.1 BTC to rebuy. Long way to go...
never admit you panic ..you are just following a "
unique strategy" don't ya know....(hey works for me)
do tell, what is the unique strategy?
mines to panic sell near the bottom, then buy back much higher just before the next crash...
throw in a bit of gox lax and you got urself a winner

It is perhaps a little disturbing, but even as an animal lover, I consider bears to be somewhere between rats, seagulls and cockroaches... disgusting filthy vermin who feed in garbage dumps.
Stray dogs and cats also feed from garbage dumps , so do racoons , coyotes , jackals and even wolves.
Put a garbage dump in the middle of a safari park and you'll see even lions hanging around.
It's free food , and in the animal kingdom you'll be stupid to waste this.
don't forget stray humans

Well , from the point of an "animal lover" , I would also hate stray
humans.
Speaking of garbage , I just realized something funny.
If bitcoin is going to replace sometime cash , the days of hoping to find 10 dollars on the street are gone , right?
For a professed animal lover, you seem to harbour an unusual amount of hate.
Maybe it'll change to finding an old hdd with a wallet.dat on it

I heard there is one with quite a few bitcoins on a lost HDD , in some garbage dump in UK.
I have to start recruiting an army of racoons for this
ahahah, where can we find a racoon trainer? If that works you will be on the news around the world.
might as well train em to pick pockets.... that's where the real money is

You're telling me 7500btc isnt real money? Are you stupid or stoned?
Btw, how many pocket pickings you have to do to get $7.5 millions?
wow you really need to work on developing a sense of irony.
depends on who's pocket you're picking really doesn't it?

I'm getting more and more concerned that no-one here seems to want to explore or even counter the 'negative' arguments around bitcoin or crypto...I don't mind reading erudite or informed denunciations of such arguments but everyone seems awful keen to dismiss any naysayers as idiots/fools without actually making a cogent defence.
Did you have a specific concern you want addressed? Most of us here can see right away that there is not one piece of intelligent thought put into an article like that, so dismiss it. If there is something you have a question about, ask! We are then more than happy to share wisdom
I'm having a similar but more specific exchange with Marcus_of_Augustus o this thread
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=365730.new#newMy concerns are that forum members tend to dismiss negative arguments rather than take the time to counter them. I've spent a bit of time in real world convincing friends that BTC has a future but I imagine if they came here and saw the responses from members they wouldn't be that convinced.
Every negative article tends to generate a series of ad hom attacks: now, if you were a newcomer/visitor and you saw a respected economist/author (whatever) put their argument and the counter was "he's an idiot' from an anonymous forum member, who would you tend to believe?
There are a lot of intelligent people here but BTC's future tends to be more of an article of faith these days than solid, developing postulations.
If you've been around here you for a while you would see that people have been intelligently postulating since the beginning.
Pretty much at this stage I think the general consensus is that those arguments have been countered to death and there's no point repeating over and over.

Will probably correct some more, but I'm not selling. We all know BTC's ultimate potential. In the end there will be less major price drops, because there will be widespread consensus about its possibilities. That means that people will not be prone to panic selling. I'm not selling. By doing that, the ultimate endgame scenario needs one person less in order to come to fruition.
Ultimate endgame is $1m/btc

China going down slowly. Not sure if I should buy back or not
Last crash played out over 2 days ( dec5-7 almost in to 8 ) however the low was hit about 24hrs from the first drop.. I sold at 870 had I waited 24 hrs I was laughing got back in much earlier and saved myself some stress but lost future profits.
With that being said analyze the information you have.. and find a re-entry point(at a gain and loss) that seems reasonable since I believe you already sold.
Either way you need to find a reason
why you think the crash slides, drops or ends.
Yes I sold at the bottom @650 and would be happy if I only could get my coins back. I had 35 coins before I registered here in the forum. With listening to some people here I panic sold so many times. With a loss of 4 BTC´s. And now I panic sold again because people here were writing it is the end, adam was even crying. So I sold all at the bottom. Looks like its better to move the coins to a wallet and forget the forum here.
Just have some patients and you will get your coins back and then some...
This is just the first dead cat bounce

Agreed. I think the current price is close to the price Bitcoin would have had (following the trendline) if China had never entered the game. Price may get a bit lower, because people always panic a bit more than the situation warrants, but ultimately even if the price dips 100 dollars more, it would mean that all expectations of China will have been bled out of the system. Bitcoin can then continue to grow on with normal expectations restored.
I think we still have a ways to go down before all the china money has exited the system... rally started around $120 if i'm not mistaken?

IF the bail in for the eurozone works like that of Cyprus, then you may end up "using" your stash rather than exchanging it for worthless euro's
I don't doubt it, Germany is pretty much slowing the process down cause why would they want to bail in the others
You don't understand. A "bail-in" is when depositor money is confiscated to save the bank. It's the scenario Germany wants!
It's the scenario every bank in Europe wants, the entire f'ing economy is based on creative accounting so they'll have no trouble with loss-free bankruptcies to get their hands on savers money.
When QE fails, resort to straight up theft...

I bet that those walls at bitstamp at 650 are fake.
when or after they are pulled out, we will have our catharsis.
I think 6-650 will be another resistance level and we will see a small bounce from there... followed by further capitulation... mostly

market is stable, not overbought/sold and price is creeping up
volume ath was today, isn't that good indicator of bot? maybe it bounces to 800+ and then consolidates somewhere at 600 +/-100
come back down to earth. It won't be back above 650 for a long time,
like 2014. maybe
statements like these are always bound to fail when it comes to btc price
Maybe. but the price before btc fever in china was about $180. It's now a month later and we hit over $1200, now it's $550 and it was dropping before this news. The latest news today is just the short term nail in the coffin!
I have no doubt BTC will be back to $1200 and beyond, but to say this is happening anytime soon is just wishful thinking.
you're saying that bitcoin will not be above 650 in 2014?
btw. i did not mention 1200.
I fail to see how... we have 12 days to new year. 7 billion dollars (50%) wiped from the market cap in 12 days. and it was still dropping before the latest news. The people in China investing are not kids with PC's and a few $$ they were real investors that could not give a shit about btc they just wanted to make money.
I think it's doubtful we will see $650 anytime soon. It's Christmas too, so some people will cash out a little for the festive season and new year.
But if you think otherwise... tell me where you think the new investment will come from.

It's higher risk but also higher reward. I wouldn't be completely shocked if in the next few months we saw LTC hit .1BTC.
I would. That would imply that LTC is 40% of the value of BTC. That's just insane.
