Wake me up if we get below 555

Should probably just grab some coffee & stay up, what's another few mins of sleep worth?

Why is the price still dropping?
Main reason of falling rate of BTC is halving. People still thinking that after halving price of bitcoin will goes down as it will hard to mine as rewards will be half than now!
People are selling their bitcoins so as per demand and suply formula price of bitcoins is going down.
Keep selling

Lets see if we can get anymore coins for low $600's.
Last block mined so long ago . . . 2016-07-09 17:20:24 Is it because miners are going offline?
I hope nothing went wrong. . .
Bitcoin must be broken!
lol !
Funny if you're sitting in filthy fiat, not so much if you got bitcoins to hodl

It's OK so far, a new block just got solved . . . took 34 minutes instead of 10, but better than nothing.
*I'm keeping an eye on it tho.

If the amount of sunshine were permanently cut in half by 50% overnight, the weather would change radically.
To go with your analogy, "the amount of sunshine" is not "permanently cut in half by 50% overnight."
The amount of sunshine is still increasing, but increasing at a slower rate, TooDumbForBitcoin

note to self pay slightly more then the recommended fee.

I did a bit more checking and it looks like they bundled my transaction with 2 others. The other 2 just got included in the 9th block but mine is still unconfirmed. WTF how is that possible?
Bitcoin CEO is out on bail, might be worth a call?

Is the coup attempt real or some false flag government made to justify they staying forever in power and the state of exception?
BTC users may laugh today, but tomorrow the Internet may be controlled and BTC forbidden or restricted
Already on.
"Access was restricted in Turkey on Friday to Facebook, Twitter and YouTube shortly after news broke that the military coup was under way, according to two internet monitoring groups."

It depends how you classify low volume. I can see two big bars on the Bitfinex 24 hour chart, and each of them is above 1000 Bitcoins and mostly buying.
Is buying possible without selling?

No but if the ask side gets eaten into it's considered buying and selling if the bid side gets eaten into.
Ah, gotcha. How does one tell if the ask side got eaten into by looking at the volume bars?

podyx, thanks for the explanation.
Check the 1.5k volume bar on this chart. You can see the price going up in almost a straight line during that trading period. I assume that means the ask side got eaten into. If the price had gone down in almost a straight line I would assume the opposite.
You're looking at (at a glance) 15 minute bars? One bar != 1 transaction. Try 5, 3, or 1 minute resolutions here:
https://bitcoinwisdom.com/markets/bitfinex/btcusd, and you'll see that 1.5k bar get broken down into a bunch of little ones.
As podyx pointed out, it's not that simple. You'll see green 1k bars from 499 market sells/501 market buys, for instance (1 BTC "ate into the ask side"). If the ask side is thin, you'll see the price shoot up.

Blockstream is a giant decentralized stream of blocks and private individuals. You should stop thinking of it as a corporation.
Looks like 656 is the new 666.

Do you have 2 accounts to talk to yourself???

I'm a dull, unexceptional man, of slight means and modest expectations.
But in my dreams, I'm wild and free ... as a bird! to roam with my Roma clan in my quaint colorful Gypsy caravan, bewitching the burghers with my drunken Gypsy dance, befuddling them with my dark Gypsy witchcraft, and ... whoa!! where's your wallet?! Where is it? Presto magico, bitch burgher! Abracadabra. Your wallet is gone!
You think we'll break 660 today? We're kind of due for an uptic.

Get ready for... sideways forever.
Did I call this or what?
You called it. Side note, Estimated Next Difficulty: 197,309,358,560 (-7.58%). The greatest hash rate/difficulty drop in recorded history (or Bitcoinwisdom recorded history, at least

)

Difficulty dropped 18% in October 2011.
1,468,195 -> 1,203,462.
Pretty tricky, Sis! The old Excel VBScript exploit
https://s32.postimg.org/ozdkc2jmd/Capture.gifI'll take your word for it. As i said, "or Bitcoinwisdom recorded history, at least."

The diff was
196,061,423,940 between June 8 and June 20
It went up to
213,398,925,331 by July 4 ("last push" of the obsolete hardware to make what they could, pre-halving)
...and if it goes to 197 it will be still higher than what we had 5-7 weeks ago, when the daily supply was double... what a "disaster" huh?

I hope you didn't misconstrue my shared statistics as a cause for concern.
-7.58% (pardon, -7.67% now, went up a bit since I posted last) hashrate drops happen all the time...
...well, maybe not all the time, maybe like once a year, at least...
...did I say once a year? I meant once every couple of years...
OK, I lied. So sue me.
Nothing like this happened since 2011, when BTC wasn't worth anything, and consequentially, the price *TANKED* following year. You got me!
Sorry... where was I? O yeah, nothing at all to worry about
https://s31.postimg.org/77za6mw97/sleep2.gifHa, you should tell me how to insert VBA code into a comma separated file.
I hear Bitcoiners are good with computers. (good one tho. If file has a .CSV extension, it must be a harmless comma-separated file. Nothing to worry about at all, I'll just go ahead and load it right up

)
