Speculation Lounge
This is a free service provided by the bitcoin analysis community


Due to recent administrative changes to the new Wall Observer Thread (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=178336.0), demand has been demonstrated for a topic that allows to discuss and analyze recent bitcoin fundamentals/price movements without being restricted to only TA and wall pics. These are certainly welcome, however feel free to also post any other randomness!

Stop trying to centralize discussion of a decentralized currency!

in my opinion, bitcoin prices are currently at the top of the barrel and bottom of the basket. we will see price go from out in right field to the midst of the crowd very shortly. more longterm, look for a reproducing whale with a speech impediment, its a very swedish sign and could mark the end of intraday vulnerability.

It's good to see a new competitor enter the speculation thread market.

How much market share will this new thread be able to attract away from the dominant thread?

The other thread is locked. Obviously a highly regulated market. The thread creators are central banks!
Didn't you used to have more posts than just 12?

that wall failed to produce movement up so far, looks like people are scared to act fearing of manipulation.

Or maybe we should wait a bit longer than 20 minutes to see what happens?  ;)

well, of course we should and have to but imo it shows the fear of some trap, those who were ready to risk wouldn't wait for price to go up a lot.

meanwhile, on bitstamp... our resident manipulator is having a hard time keeping the price down considering he can only afford to play with a few hundred coins worth..

Exactly.

This is exactly why I did not buy at 71ish when I saw the 15K wall behind me.  I considered trying to sell at just $1/coin profit after fees, but even then did not want to take the gamble that there were 5K coins waiting to sell as soon as the person behind the 15K wall thought they had manipulated the buy wall high enough to make it worth their while.

Plus MtLag has had some new tricks today where instead of lagging precisely, instead the API stop reporting accurately and buy/sells executing after showing as cancelled.  That does not make me want to possibly put myself in front of a huge sell.

Price would probably be in the 60s if not for this wall also, so even less trust.

I've sold dollar earlier and bought at 71-ish though not on mtgox, and tried to secure myself putting some of my coins in alts til I wake up later. Don't have idea if it was good thing to do, it's not very active market since bitcoin is fluctuating and everyone watch to save their value there but just couldn't leave it all in btc before heading to bed. If everything would go as I hope for it would be great though, if one particular thing does not and there's always a solid risk in it, I'm doomed :)
