Is anyone willing to buy just one coin, at the same time with me, just to experiment?

The only rule is 1 btc. Not 0.1 increments. I want to see that little butterfly triggering a hurrincane :P

I do not ask anyone to join, I just want to know if there is any trader that might want to make a coalition. You then can sell any time (yea, even next second).

If 7 more people are in, I'll disclose the hour for Sunday April 27th. So far myself and 2 friends.

I don't have any Gox money. If I would, I'd totally join. Is it worth selling just to get in at the same time as you?

I'd have to sell first, then count on it to drop so that I could afford to buy it back. :)

Thanks Kazu, no, please don't sell, maybe you'll have to buy higher. I'll wait for others.

Hey y'all, how'd you like to buy a Bitcoin?  :D

Nice, but you are making me look the man selling the bitcoin...

I'm just asking the people that are willing to buy regardless...

Sorry, that just did fit too well. ;)

Yes, it was funny.

Delay the "coalition" one week and next week's wire would have probably come in :)

AGREED!

If there is no "price correction" in the next couple days, next week price of a BTC could pass $160

I know, thats why I'm screwed.

It was a mistake for my part to ask for tomorrow so will remain for next week.

My advice is not to buy for this experiment, only if you really want to participate. Otherwise just buy if you really plan to trade on that day.

I will disclose the hour of that day after I get 10 people in. You can PM me if you want to be anonymous or something.

I already have proposed this, but since this seems to be an "organized buying" thread, I figure its worth another shot.

This is just an idea of a way a group could potentially help stabilize bitcoin rather than following the usual volatility-inducing day-trading techniques.


A "slope" would be created as described following a supply line as displayed, such that the total amount in the amount being traded is equal to the "excess supply" (i.e, red shaded regions) before the slope. Note the next "excess supply" after the original (i.e, the red shaded region near $150) A "floor" is created 1 cent below a natural support level. If the price hits the floor, you buy and fill in the asks to meet the slope (I.e, slowly fill in the green regions below slope). When the buffer region (the green region before wall) exceeds total excess supply, the floor is repositioned.

Just wondering if anybody thinks this is a good idea.

It's a great idea.

Individuals fail. Teams prevail.

I'm in.

Great. Please popularize, if you know others interested.

I also think we could have competition, organized groups that will sell maybe 2 BTC to distrupt us :P

Time is 1pm GMT.

That would make it even more difficult to judge what just happened ôo
(Maybe people will do it anyway)
Sadly I have no account at Gox.

I'm in. But this is because April 27th 2013 is a Saturday.

I'm buying 1 BTC on Sunday, April 27th, 2014.

Oh, damn! I'm using this calendar for US, it end with Saturday! Changed it!

Just a reminder for this.

I have already put a bot. I will buy at exactly 13:00:13, will let others to buy lower than me. I will sell that coin only when price doubles.

I won't buy but I'll sell later if you pump it, I promise  ;D

So, this is like in 23 minutes now? Or has it already happened?

Reading is hard...  11 hours, 18ish minutes to go, not that I'm participating.

I hope that you are aware of MtGox statistics:

30-day Volume: 4,714,294.44347162 BTC

30-day Volume (Currency): 535,113,600.90 USD


Good luck, but honestly I think it will be like paddling with spoons on Amazon river.

Im not cool enough for a bot. Im ready though.

One bitcoin x 10 is not going to do anything!

So if you get 10 people, you'll see 10 bitcoins being purchased on bitcoinity?

How is that any different from normal?

If you can rally up 200 people, buying 10 coins each I'd join in (unfortunately this means I'd have to sell my coins first :P).

So is this like in 5 minutes now?

Yes, I am aware of that. I am not expecting great results.

Thank you all, both participating and non-participating.

See this.
