Title: Actual buying pressure??
Post by: GoWest on September 09, 2011, 03:27:37 AM
Could it really be?  This is the first time I've seen an aggressive buy wall that actually looks legit.  Someone sold 700 BTC into it and the wall didn't budge; in fact, it kept moving to the right.  Could just be another blip on the way down, but maybe the Krugman readers are just starting to get their money into the Gox.

I'm not sure new people finding out about bitcoin now while its declining will have the same effect as it had when they found out while it was still rising, if they are real investors they will likely see it's not the best time to jump on.

It's interesting to watch the miners getting shutdown when these price drops happen like this. Pool overall hash rates have seen a pretty obvious drop.

Another 700 BTC sold into the wall, yet she holds.  No one really buying though...

if they were smart they would have sold their cards and bought coins last month when the price dropped instead of wasting electricity. looks like miners are finding out the coin is not worth mining.  seems like most miners were in this for a quick buck, but that quick buck was only for early adopters. bitcoin is not about making money, its about non-centralized currency and freedom.

I've seen youtube videos where people have 20 cards with the boxes of the cards stacked high and the cards all attached together in some custom rigs.

oh sure. There are some guys that can push 5GH/s at a pool all on their own that I've seen so I am sure there are others with 4x that or more. Remember there was the story of one guy getting raided by the police because of his high electric use and heat output being vented outside, they assumed he was growing pot. Never saw the link in the news but the story was going around. To stick out like that he had to be running what, 30+ cards?

Poor guy, they probably stole all his computer equipment, "confiscated".

Wonder how the power outage on the west coast is effecting bitcoin.
