I think that it will , but people here are not thinking so :/ but you cant trust anyone here ? I dont know ho to trust and who not to trust
So shuld i listen to you ?
This is that making it so hard becuse bitcoin is my first try in this type marketing
I think you're trolling. But, if you're straight you should just stop now and watch from the sidelines for a month or two. Either that or lose the lot and call it an education. Honestly, you'll get raped.

It's simply delusional to believe that you can manipulate the market posting in here. We have a couple of those nutheads both in the bear and bull team: Jaroslaw, rpietila, Fourkeys (the latter lost everything shorting I guess), but most of people is not delusional and posts just to share a good time discussing a common interest.
That said, kickinyou: trust the insights which have logic behind them, but do not forget that the matter is not WHO, the important point is WHAT, and to decide what makes sense or not you need to have your very own analysis first.
You don't need to manipulate the market to take the kid's money, you just need to manipulate him.
If he's even asking these questions with a straight face he clearly won't be able to take the decisions or form the strategy to trade successfully.

lol. You really believe someone is trying to sell 10k's of coins, and it just made Gox insta-die?
No. They dumped high at the w/e with a view to buying low, but the price either didn't go low enough (it never hit the presumed target just above the previous ath) or just went up again too quickly, to allow them to buy back.

We are already 50% over the monthly-average exponential trendline, so a retracement is possible any time.
wow, you bearish?
The definition of trendline is that (about) half of the time price is over the trend, and half of the time it is under the trend.
It is therefore smart to buy when price is below trendline, and sell if it goes too high above it.
I do not easily recommend selling for trading purposes, because buy&hold works better.
But if you have been in it for a long time and want to sell periodically, we have just entered the period where it makes sense to sell.
Don't forget that if we spend significant time significantly above your trendline...
...you should re-draw your trendline

Sure. With
this methodology it is easy, because the datapoints are monthly weighted averages and new points are added only once per month. December target based on Jan2009-Oct2013 is $404.
I do not suggest anyone to buy above $700 this year, it is likely a bubble and you can likely buy cheaper next year if you just wait. Furthermore, I have pounded the table extremely hard from about $195 (the only time I pounded so hard before was February), and everyone wanting to enter in based on my advice should have done it by now.
But do not speculate - unless you intend to permanently start lowering the number of your bitcoins, do not sell.
Thanks for the pointer to that thread, and thanks in general for your solid work. Glad you're stronger again.

Why are you comparing regular models with Bitcoin? Why is this a bubble and not a mass adoption somewhere on Earth? What are the differences? How do you know now there are just people rushing in and not wider bitcoin usage?
Usage where and for what? I'm open to that notion but I have no news of such possibility. For what use are they being adopted that I'm unaware of?
Take-out food? Hard for us to guess what you are aware of, right?
By the way, after the dutch and german sites of lieferservice.de and thuisbezorgd.nl, the french, brittish and belgian versions of the site now also accept bitcoin.
Up till now fair numbers of bitcoiners might not have had a lot of money, so when they get some free from these background mined magical internets, they look to use them as they would other money – to get pizza and computers. Hey, that’s what money is, so it’s cool, but what’s the fuss right? Why would they be more useful than having real dollar or yuan?
However, there are other users on the horizon. People who have significant amounts of money and whose needs are different. They like to hold and control value without the say-so of banks or governments. They like to able to move significant chunks when they want to, to where they want. They love arriving at a different continent with as much money as they need encrypted in the cloud.
These people are currently giving early adopters shiney cars for their coins. Last year it was awesome gaming rigs with flashing lights, next year it’ll be houses. They thank the early adopters for refining protocols, for demonstrating the possibility of exchange via smartphones. They leave you their trinkets, and you think you’ve done well.
It’s giving away Manhattan all over again.

I should really post my wisdom concerning position management, because so many are clueless about it.
Please do. Ultimately, lack of understanding or thought about position management is probably responsible for a lot of weak handedness, because people don't have complete confidence in what they're doing. Once they start to panic, they think only of fiat assets and dump everything.
The trick is to panic first.

China isn't moving because the Chinese are asleep.
China is down -5.7% over 3 days.
Also the arbitrage is closed, which means that west will have to raise the price to $1,000 by themselves.
We are also more than 2x ahead of the long-term trend, which is a very extended position.
Bid/ask charts are quite tilted towards the latter. Especially noteworthy is the lack of bids $700+
Volume is low.

Anyway anybody with half a brain probably gets it by looking at this chart:
Of course when you purposefully deny the possibility that what the economic collapse next week bloggers tell you is wrong you might choose to ignore it.
Lol, that article is a hoot. For instance:
Or, rather, all the money that's been created is sequestered from the actual economy and may as well not exist for most purposes.
That chart shows the monetary base expansion under TARP and QE1,2,3. The money is used to buy gov't bonds or other financial assets. That is the official claim from the Fed. Either the Fed is lying or the author is an idiot. If the author is correct, the Fed is lying. In this case, the money is probably parked in the banks waiting to cover a massive, anticipated run on bank accounts. Chances are, however, that the author is a moron and the money is simply being injected into the world economy at some unknown rate.
Even if the FED is lying and the author is an idiot the US doesn't appear to head into an area of hyperinflation.
And actually there is an article which explains what the FED actually think it is doing, it's too complicated for me but since you claim to know all about economics perhaps you get something out of it.
http://www.newyorkfed.org/research/current_issues/ci15-8.pdfInflation is inevitable once that money fully enters into circulation.
Precisely where that money went and what it's being used for is not a matter of public knowledge. But you can bet that it won't just sit somewhere. All the goldbugs are saying is "They created a tremendous amount of money over a very short period and it will eventually be used. The question is when and how."
I think I'm not understanding this... doesn't that article state that the bulk of the money (difference between red and blue line) is parked at the fed as "excess reserves"? Does the fed use it for something or does it just sit there? If it just sits there it seems to indeed be a matter of public knowledge, no?
The Fed is just helping the banks rebuild and strengthen their balance sheets in line with Basel 3

The thing about Jorge is that he’s a provincial academic. In a country outside the G8, at that. Like most minor academics, especially in middle age, there is a tendency to bitterness which they are self-aware enough to hide. They are the losers and they know it.
At one point the potential must have seemed endless. Imagine being in California in the early 80s, studying Math or Computing at Stanford – what possibilities! The world ready throw billions at you and your contemporaries! Who wouldn’t start a company? Who wouldn’t invest in friends? Who wouldn’t risk just a little in their own future?
No, play it safe. Rise above the crass entrepreneurialism. Teach. Head back to a salary, with a pension. You could have done well, of course, if you’d wanted to, but the guiding, year after year, of smiling young faces was its own reward.
And now, another tech revolution unfolds in front of you. You have the understanding and the ability to invest time or money into the idea. But wait – actual involvement? Wet feet? Action? No, no, no. Not me. That would just emphasise all my other missed chances.
No, I’ll snipe from the safety of my tenure. I could have partaken, honestly, but I’m better than that. I’m aware of it, but above it, because, well, I’m an academic.
You have the talent, the time and resources. But you won’t even buy one coin to see what it’s about. You’re wasting your time and ours in a desperate bid to show some kind of superiority. You’ve taken enough advice and explanation with nothing of interest coming back. You’ve had your moment in this thread, presumably because it’s the busiest, but you should have the decency to set up your own and see if anyone will follow and care there.

This is what a takeover looks like.
Real money wants in. Thanks, kids, for coming up with this here “Bitcoin” – we get it now. You’ve shown that it’s so robust and useful that even the incompetent and the illegal can take it to $10Bn. Now kindly leave and let us take it from here.
That letter from the Next Money Representative 5 left MK hanging out to dry. He thought they would help, but they just supplied a coup de grace. They want a clear-out and to bring in a legislative framework. They’re building acceptance, so the unacceptable need to go.
Short term, the media and banks will crucify the ecosystem. This will cover the smart money accumulation phase. Some here will hand over their coins in exchange for a car or a house. That’s fine, and it’s a shame others got burned, but there’s a handover going and a little turbulence is to be expected.
We’re heading out of beta.

Not exact numbers, but useful numbers for reasoning, approximately correct: You can pack about 20,000 xns into a block. To outcompete other xns you need to pay > 0.0001 btc per xn. Filling a block to deny service for 10 minutes requires 2BTC. 100,000 BTC would deny service for 500,000 minutes, about 11 months.
In practice I would expect fees to rise quickly, as miners observed the attack and began to take steps. I could see such an attack lasting for a week or two, depending on how quickly measures were taken and how well co-ordinated the major mining pools were. More likely a day or three. There are a zillion ways to break the attack vector. Miners are ever and always the defenders of the network.
So a bad actor could own the Bitcoin infrastructure for $10k an hour? Seems cheap and easy...

Nonsense, unless you want to be considered an elitist (which we could never accuse aminorex of).
From the Oxford Dictionary:
To those in the know, hoi is the Greek word for the definite article the (nominative masculine plural); the phrase hoi polloi thus translates as ‘the many’. This knowledge has led some traditionalists to insist that hoi polloi should not be used in English with the, since that would be to state the word the twice. Such arguments miss the point: once established in English, expressions such as hoi polloi are treated as a fixed unit and are subject to the rules and conventions of English. Evidence shows that use with the has now become an accepted part of standard English usage.
There is nothing elitist about not dumbing down. The OED has been subverted by populist young tykes.

I like what that one dude said about buying bitcoin being akin to buying options with no expiry date. It changed my way of looking at things.
This is exactly what I thought when I started buying. I traded gold and silver options back in the day to gear up my physical positions and I always hated rolling over (or not) on expiry. With BTC I loved the idea of (amongst other things) taking a hedge against the shaky-looking financial system (Chancellor on the brink...) without value time decay and in fact a good chance, by design, of appreciation over time.
It amazes me that anyone with an interest in economics or PMs or trading of any kind wouldn't take a position in BTC, even a small one. The downside limit is just your stake, but the upside possibility is immense. People talk about diversifying, usually into a less risky asset when another has done well, but diversifying is also about having a little something from the wild side, just for the chance of a moon shot. That's how you beat the averages, that's how you break out. In those terms BTC is a no-brainer.
When I first started buying in summer '12, there was still a real risk of complete collapse - that's why it was cheap. In the 22 months since the protocol has withstood a hacking/stealing technical onslaught and the tech odds are very much more in favour of survival, so the risk/reward has changed. Now the price is weighed down by regulatory uncertainty and is cheap because of the PTB onslaught. It may successfully come out the other side in which case the price would obviously go nuts, but even it doesn't there will be some market for a proven, robust, near-anonymous, trans-national, transferrable store of value.
Why on earth wouldn't you hold a least a few as a portfolio outlier? No need to trade, no need to guzzle the kool-aid or even hang around here, it's simply the easiest bet of trading lifetime.

It might actually be a good thing that the price is low when it opens. The investors will be impressed with the quick grown and that will cause a snowball effect in price. I can only hope.
Tape-painting 101
edit: especially if your fees include a percentage of the growth
why would anyone buy off this fund?
why not go to bitstamps?
Funds like this are really for managers of other people's money, and these managers are legally and contractually limited to certain types of investment (to stop them running away with the money or investing in their cousin's shell game). Simple buying and holding of coins is not in itself one of those types.

If we don't brake 560$ today I doubt we will see it in next days. Or?
They are already buying on stamp probably... so nothing will change.
No, they open on Friday so we are going down till the weekend.
No, they are not buying.
It really isn't complicated: they will make money on the increase in the value of their fund (probs mainly long with some downside hedging). Hence it is in their interest for the price to be as low as possible on Friday. They have decades of commodity trading experience and deep funding. We are going down till the weekend.

... there was a network scale attack I pointed out to Gavin and the other devs after observing namecoin network getting "hung" for months by miners joining and leaving en-masse due to mining incentives and price fluctuations ...
if a well-resourced 'dishonest miner' attacker could build up a significant of quantity of mining power and ramp up hash-rate by bringing on-line an ever-increasing amount of compute, selling all btc the whole way and simultaneously drive price lower over the same period, squeezing out 'honest' miners ... then in a final act take all their mining power off-line during a final dump of price then it would leave the network hanging at very low block solving rate (long confirms) waiting forever for the next retargetting and a low price and take a toll on confidence ... the fix was to allow for a 'special' retargetting on the downside if it hasn't happened after a time-out, not just the set 2016 blocks.
Was this fix put in place?
I've had similar concerns about a "remove hashing power" attack

"Give me control of a nation's money and I care not who makes it's laws", or more accurately, take control of the worlds money and crush any one or any thing that stands in your way. Millions have died because of it.
If the banks wanted to drive BTC into the ground they could it with relentless selling at negligible cost in their scheme of things. Buy hi sell lo, even 100,000 coins at $100 loss every week comes to less than 1% of profit (and it would be booked as a trading loss anyway) (US bank profits 2013 $154Bn)

That is terrible, of course. But replacing a failing currency by a crypto that, if successlul, will make trillionaires of Satoshi & friends is even worse. Where will those trillions come from?
And if the crypto fails, there will be no one to exchange it for euros at a fixed rate.
Again trillions will have changed hands, with no relation to work done.

Low content posts trying to get a rise out of people: troll, ignore becomes an option if you still want to use the forum for its intended purpose.
You constantly feed the troll Stolfi, which is bad enough, but you also quote his attention-whoring all the time which is both another kind of feeding and staggeringly rude to very many here that have him on ignore.

Careful. By grafzep's algorithm, you're now on his ignore list as well ^_^
Jorge's is academic's approach: no knowledge is useless. Ergo, by clicking ignore button, you are always losing.
This assumes that knowledge gaining is free. This assumption is correct only for a tenured academic which is insulated from economic reality.
For the rest of us economic approach would be better: a text worth reading if benefit of reading it overweights costs of the reading, that is if there is no better use for the time, spend on reading it. Nothing personal, just economics.
Indeed. Someone called him a time waster the other day - and that is his trolling method. He repeatedly asks stupid questions or easily googled ones just to get a response. He chimes in with the most banal level of 'academic' analysis to both be a part of the group and to feel superior to it at the same time.
He is the antithesis of the entrepreneurial spirit, using his unsackable position to rob the Brazilian tax payer and waste his time here wasting our time. Tenure as an academic principle to protect and encourage free thought without political interference was hard fought for, and it makes me sick that shallow pricks like him use it to actually get in the way of new ideas.
He's not funny and he's not clever. Give me NLC any day, at least he's honest to himself and us about what he's doing. Stolfi is a useless cancer and should have the blood supply from schmoes like oda cut off.

- the difference between Doge and Bitcoin is that there isn't a cap to the total number of Dogecoins created,
whereas Bitcoin will only ever have a max of 21m coins (unless the protocol changes).
Its nothing to do with the protocol - if it were then there may be some guarantees that this 21m cap will be concrete.
No, its simply an arbitrary value ( actually - its an 'operand') in the code that can be changed at any time without having any effect on previous, existing or future transactions.
So, in otherwords, where most 'protocol' changes would, at the very least, require a "hard fork", the change in the cap to 22M or 42M or infinite cap could be made in the next minor version release.
I dont know where people who are supposed to understand these things get the idea of a hard limit to bitcoin. Its only a 'guide' or estimate. It can change once enough people want it.
Its just one line of code!!
The 21 million cap, is as concrete as peoples trust in Bitcoin..... or rather peoples trust in Bitcoin is as concrete at the 21 million cap.
That's why he's trying to FUD it.

Of course he is right. it is akin to share dilution
What would the difference be between
21 million coins at $1 dollar each
and 42 million coins at 50 cents each?
No. That would be a precision change (which is also allowed)
Bust my balls all you like. I like robust debate, it makes it worthwhile. As long as its done intelligently.
And dont worry, I see your point. But it dont change the fact that Bitcoin has a built in price relief valve that a lot of people seem very afraid to mention.
