by the way adam, thanks for choosing the name "hardcore" I feel proud... that 1200 post thread was growing on me quite a lot though... but it's ok, we now have "softcore" lounge
Feel free to visit the softcore lounge anytime. Lots of fun to be had by all!

I agree. It certainly has cut into my productivity so far today. Just imagine all the other gifs I had to wade through first before finding the right ones!

Slush pool was under DDOS attack last 2 days and almost unable to mine. I wonder how likely it is for attackers to DDOS some major pools and meanwhile take over 50% of the bitcoin network computing power. Will be interesting to watch how bitcoin infrastructure will handle this. Bitcoin's popularity is getting some criminal minds to be very interested

How do they profit?
Following the money, isn't the only logical party to profit from a mining pool being DDOSed a rival mining pool?
I could believe that, but a mining pool wouldn't want to do a 50% attack.
Anyone who goes for a >%50 attack to profit is either very stupid (if they do it for more Bitcoins) or they are interested in destroying confidence and value in Bitcoin and thus profiting from driving interest into some other asset.

Agreed. We need a new platform to handle such a thing. Like IRC on steroids or something.

Red Candles == Strictly Forbidden
One minute candle? Dude, one minute anything when it comes to Bitcoin is a recipe for a heart attack.
Yeah, I forgot that I had it set to that. I don't trade anyway. I am just one of the resident popcorn crowd. And this (well, the old) thread has provided me with untold amounts of entertainment. xD

i think the wallobserver-fork is a pity...
i miss the other guys, it got so quiet in here.

I'm here, it's just that I have nothing to say that would adhere to the rules. There can only be one wall observer thread and it seems people decided to go with the more restricted one.
Strange.
I think they are just used to having unenforced bullshit laws on the books. That makes this thread feel more homey. I could be wrong, of course.

For all they have done I will give my forgiveness if they enable funding exchanges through Paypal again.

Money talks and those cunts know it. I am interested to see just how many people from the early Bitcoin community will actually forgive them and use their services. God, I wouldn't touch them with a bargepole.

Here, Here.
I know what you mean. I felt that exact same feeling two weeks ago. I was just getting interested after a long hiatus away from Bitcoin. I thought I was gonna vomit and almost sold around $50.. Now this stuff doesn't bother me at all. My guts feel like they are made out of cast iron now. Just gotta ride this bitch and it will go higher in time if you are patient.

I think that depends on if you care about being ignored or not. The fun loving types won't care and the snobs will just click ignore if you post crazy semi-relevant material. It's win-win!

1. Everything fundamental is growing stronger each day.
What exactly has happened to make the fundamentals stronger? People don't care about DDos as much as they used to anymore, but even then the last time Mt got Ddos'ed for more than an hour the price shot down - and then quickly up.
Exchanges are really weak at this point. 4 of them have been shut in one week because banks closed their accounts. What happens if mt's account is closed? We go from 137 to 5.
Until we get a robust exchange which is likely within a few months, I think the price is hugely overvalued. It might in the very short term go up to 160 again, but the trendline is down for a bit because it is just too risky to invest at 140 and those that might buy would be very jumpy.
Moreover, the press attention reaches a saturation point. Most people have herd about bitcoins now. Most certainly everyone that works in finance has herd about them but even your mom and dad has herd about them with bitcoins having been mentioned in the news all over. Whoever has wanted to buy has done so or will finish doing so this month or next.
Institutional investors might think of getting on board, but stocks give good returns, are certain to be worth at least half their price and are safe for the investment manager to invest in. On the other hand, bitcoins is of the highest risk, the price has no stability so the investment would need to be actively managed which is quite expensive and the market is quite small for big money so it is even more difficult to buy the thing which is quite a big consideration considering how difficult it is to buy even for the avarage joe.
For these reasons, unless we get some big good news, the bear has killed the cat.
There are many fundamental reasons why it's shooting up. It started with Reddit & Wordpress and most recently its the fact that China has taken the lead in bitcoin-qt downloads.

Here's the data for all:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/bitcoin/files/Bitcoin/stats/mapChina isnt #1 there, but still quite strong. It could be that at some point in the quite near future the west might not be leading the charge in terms of adoption.
Thanks for that. It's interesting that ~1/3 of all downloads since Bitcoin's launch happened this year alone.

according to my calculations if we stay on the current bullish trend we will hit 1,480.78$ in 6 months 16,867.02$ in 12 month 2,188,434.58$ in 24 months
omg why did i sell 3 coins for only 500$

I can't help but notice the bulls (me included) are throwing much higher numbers (even in relative terms) than in 2011 ("$1000 by the end of the year"... quite conservative). I also have a feeling this time they are having an easier time actually believing their own projections might come true.
I remember when friends used to ask me back in 2011: "when will you sell", my answer was: at 1 BTC = 1 oz gold. This doesn't seem so outlandish any more, does it?
It's almost like my wildest dreams are coming true: bitcoin seems to really work out!Have you guys seen that guardian piece about the Bitcoin Kiez (
http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/video/2013/apr/26/bitcoin-currency-moves-offline-berlin-video). Had you shown me this in 2011 as a "video from 2 years in the future", I wouldn't have believed it and would probably not have been able to stop laughing in pure joy for a day or two. Nowadays my reaction is simply: "oh, cool! Quite a well done piece! Thanks cool dudes in Berlin!".
My old dreams are the new normal, I should get some new dreams... think big this time.It's an awesome feeling isn't it? I didn't have a target sell price for my coins in 2011 like you did. I just knew that I would hold them for 5 years and see where things would be at when 2016 arrives. What could it be like in 3 more years having the benefit of updated information compared to 2011? The dream is the same, but the realization of it could end up being far greater than anyone expected.

I may or may not have a 1,000,000mBTC bet outstanding, whether I can convert the majority of the forum to use mBTC before May 31st.
lol! It's close to impossible. I will try to help, bet or not.
I agree with this and wouldn't mind adopting a smaller denomination to help with aesthetics. I actually like the idea of millibits but not so much millis. What about switching some letters around and calling them billis or libits? Meh, sounds kinda lame.
I also like microbits or microbes. But I also think keeping the name Satoshi might simply be the best name for those denominations.

Holding their breaths. Super low volume, and $109.51 bid wall just removed.
It looks like $110 will fall. Get ready for the cheap coins.
I'm still sitting on the money from selling at $98.99. Hope I get a chance to get back in today

You sold in double digits??! The rule is that you buy in double or single digits and sell in sextuple-septuple digits.

Slipping downwards.
Huge drop in the bid sum
People just can't ignore that burning pit in the stomach feeling. Time for them to cave in to their emotions and sell.

Hey ChartBuddy, how you doing ? Doesn't seem to be anyone else around toady, so how about you and me just chill for a while hey ? Get to know each other a little better ... its' been a while since I hung out with a 3D chart - you may be able to give me a different perspective on things.
I think a few people are feeling a little down today, but don't let them lay it on you ... I know you only post it as it is. I trust you. You are good at what you do, even if they made you smaller. How's that hey, small, but with a little touch you get much bigger. I know how that feels ... I got bits that do that ... you hearing me dude ?
And what about Adam's GF ... she's a bit scary hey. Nice rack n all, but you know, something just ain't right. I mean there's no face shot ... that's go to be a BAD omen. She's a bit grungy for my tastes too. Looks like she need a good clean up. Wouldn't mind helping out with that tho I guess. See how she came out ...
Well you take care CB, just PM me if you need anything

Mind if I cut in?

Whales should strike in the morning (in a few hours) if they want to keep the rising momentum.
If the whales have any intention to buy and hold, they would let this fear build up. That leads to more asks and a lower price. But not too long, as then we would correct down quite a lot.
They're fighting over very few coins. They can either wait and hope for a pullback or eat up the 10's of thousands available..now.
in case you missed it..
I have been in NYC the past two weeks working on several very significant Bitcoin related projects.
Any chance you can elaborate? Also - Will you be posting to your blog anytime soon?
Wish I could.
Just wait for the news, serious journalists like the WSJ have already been getting briefed but cannot write about it yet, which should come out around the last week of September. Additionally, this fall there will be probably 6+ 'big names', like
Richard Bove or
Chamath Palihapitiya [starting at 19:15], in the investment community that will come out in favor of Bitcoin and that will cause a lemming like effect.
And the private wealth managers out of Asia are stacking Bitcoins away as the new favorite asset class. Many of the HNWI family offices will not make an investment in the sub-$25-50m range. So, when Bitcoin melts up then it is going to be free range for a lot of these ultra-rich Asia families to move in.
If about $1m of new capital moves the price $9 then just imagine what $500m-$1B of new capital flowing into this asset class would do to the price. Especially if that $500m requires 'clean bitcoins' from a known source of funds. The making of a 'melt-up' in price to a much more fundamentally sound valuation since Bitcoins are largely undervalued given their characterstics (no counter-party risk, cannot be seized and equity based like gold).
This is going to be a wild ride this fall. So strap yourselves in and let's kick the tires and light the fires!
It's times like this that I wish I wasn't sworn to secrecy. There's a few others here that know exactly what's in the pipeline.
<insert image of bull here>
You are also involved with this project, Phin?

the lack of volume pushing us here is disturbing.
at the april peak, the volume was like 10 times bigger but price only doubled...
so I'd assume maybee half the volume of april would be a good thing?
Could the difference be this: the value is going up so people aren't as willing/can't afford to trade as many bitcoins in one go? Also as time marches on bitcoins are being spread among a population that includes people who don't do much trading on exchanges?
The volume isn't so much lower than most of the past year anyway.
I'm just an observer and I have no training in matters such as trading.
That's just Gox loosing its market share. Bitstamp has much higher respective volume, add should be expected
This is also a good point.

I watch it for fun pretty often. Would make a nice screensaver or something.

Anyone else got problems with
www.bitcoinity.org ?
Yeah, it's kind of a novelty site, but fun to watch all the same. There is a nice steady stream flowing into China and kinda of erratic spurts of BTC flowing into the US and EU. It kinda reminds me of the tortoise and the hare. I wonder who will win.

Bitcoinity has been finicky for me all day.

Well, full bubble mode ON - again
We just had a healthy profit taking phase in which price consolidated before this next leg in the parabolic rise. It was so clear it was blinding. Big money wants in this time.
Infrastructure will be tested hard again, and didn't improve shit in the last couple of years. Stres test on its way, real world moves slowly.
Anyhow: shall we agree that its about time for the bears to buy back at a loss - shall we?
If China breaks $1000 first, I agree. If China does not, I disagree.
China led the the previous leg up - now IMO the West is taking over, in part because of the effect of the Secondmarket ETF and the US Senate hearing.
First time we see a global, coordinated BTC rally.
You sure China isn't still leading?
