Nice! Too bad I'm currently out of fiat. We either bounce back or more weak hands may panic sell.

Good Trade.

Be sure to sell them at $330 though.

Glad I had USD balance in my exchange account. I managed to grab some coins too.

I'm not planning to sell them for anything below $400.

You should have waited until China's exit on Thursday evening. This was not the buy indicator, we still have some serious dropping to do.

Wow, MatTheCat turned bull. :o

I am in! I bet you 1BTC that the BTC price will be =< $299 by Friday 9th January 2015 12:00am West European time. We will take Coinmarketcap BTC Price as a reference.
Do we have a bet?

Don't you have the account on Bitstamp?

MatTheCat more bullish then me ???

I never did expect this day to come...

If all the whales have turned bearish and caused the crash, then it could be the doomsday.

However, it is the theft that dump and crash the market, then there is nothing to worry about and we will recover soon.

You really taking bets?

What China exit is happening on Thursday?

Is my bet on or not?

I would do the same question!
and also means that there are speculation, and many people rushing

I also bought a bunch, guessing there could be a bounce.
Then bitstamp went down, so i'm assuming the funds are lost :/
F5-ing for updates here...

He won't take that bet now, doubt he ever would. It's clearly obvious we will not get anywhere near $300 this week, or anytime soon.

Looks like he was just pumping, by Friday he will have lost 1BTC value of his buy anyway ;D

Well, since about Nov 2013, it's happened every week. China buys up late sunday night US time, sells out late thursday night US time. It's been cyclical for over a year now. Prior to that, in 2012 and early 2013, during a mostly US market, you could trade an extra 20% or so doing the weekend sell/buy. So in essence, once the price does not recover this week, and in fact plummets even more, China will either sell more on Thursday, or buy less on Sunday. Either way its going to have a large impact. Don't forget that okcoin,houbi, and btcchina are worth over 80% of bitcoin's trading volume. They are what moves the market currently.

Thanks for the info. I wasn't aware China had such an impact on the market.

BTC China and I believe Huobi too charges no fees for trading, so the volume is probably mostly bots trying to trick users and other bots.

not that good imho, we are going down a bit, usually when something bad happen after the initial drop, there is another little one

Buy now, s--- blood later.

Good job making bad financial decisions. family will be proud!

I suppose it is possible, but there's also okcoin that has ~15-20% of total network transaction volume as well. Bitstamp, prior to the hack, was less than 5% of all tx volume. The American market is not moving this vehicle.

Also, anyone else not shocked OP did not really want that bet, and probably never bought coins?

Its not even friday and most people think he already lost the bet, wait till friday and you might be shocked. BTC only need 1 day to increase 50$ :)

You owe me 1 BTC. When can I expect payment?

CHOW CHOW I want my 1 BTC right away.

Did the price not touch 300? :)

Excellent. I havent looked but has the price in fact been 'over 300 before Friday'?

No it hasn't. CHOW CHOW I want my money!

He didn't accept your terms, you can't just decide on the terms unilaterally and then expect to be paid. By the way the price did go over $300 shortly depending on which exchange or which average you look at.

Bag holders are just scamming people with topics like this, trying to change the sentiment and fool new suckers to buy their bags.

Just look at this topic. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=786277.0
I doubt that guy has bought anything, they only want price to rise so they can dump their already existing holdings to others

I already bought at 280 but I still have some fund left. Initially I set another buy order at 250 level which later decided to cancel as I saw the price tanking too fast. Anyway for now, I'm still on the sideline waiting for the right time.

Shut up fool, it was clearly stated that the price is the price on coinmarketcap. And the $300 wasn't reached on coinmarketcap.
He stated that the price will be and STAY at $300 by friday.

And I can decide what I want and I want my money - CHOW CHOW!

Stop being such a retard. Show me where in this thread Chow Chow agreed to your terms and confirmed the bet with you? He also clearly stated that the price would go over $300 before Friday, that doesn't mean the price had to still be over 300 on Friday. You can decide what you want but not what you deserve, and you deserve nothing.

This clown is sockpuppet account of CHOW CHOW. CHOW CHOW the biatch owes me 1 BTC and I want it now! He agreed to terms of bet because he did not reply in this thread.

EDIT: The price of $300 was never reached by today 12:00am on coinmarketcap - so shut your trap and give me my 1 BTC!

OP just watching replies over this thread  :D

Suck it bitch. I'm not the OP but I just like to laugh at your stupidity. :D

Don't make me cockslap you after I have fisted your face.

CHOW CHOW biatch come out and p(l)ay.

Did he confirm the bet by PM, or have you just decided that the bet was taken under your terms so you owed money?  Your arguement is even stupider it can be argued that you lost!  He wanted to bet that it would bo above $300 before friday. It was at one time over $300.  You should pay him his 1BTC.

I agree, Chow won the bet pay up.

Seems reasonable.

How can you speak like this when you opened this thread with a clear request for bets that the price would go above 300?
Whilst you claim some absurd technicality based reason why this happened on one exchange somewhere, it clearly did not happen in spirit. The price has remained firmly below 300. There is no realistic way you could have sold your bitcoin for more than 300.

What do you mean "in spirit?" the price went over $300 by Friday on every exchange  between douchebag accepting the bet and today. He needs to either pay up or fuck off to another forum.

This.

"I think we'll be over $300 before Friday."

Read this again and again until you get it. Pay up sucker.

Good move to buy BTC now:
There is an extremely good chance you will make a big % profit.

Could've been a very good buy, at least in the mid- or long-term! Let's see how things play out after Bitstamp resumes their services. I believe a lot of people may buy some coins, also in order to get their FIAT out of stamp quickly.

Wtf you talking about? it totally took balls to put his money where his mouth was. Who would have guessed it would have passed $300 before Friday? Chow did, G'damnit.
Btcgraphicdesigns, pay the man or fuck off back to the hole you crawled out of.

RETARD-POTENTIAL = 100%

SHUT Up chinese scum - I am going to post the pm you sent saying you accept my bet and that the price will be and will stay at $300 by friday. Pay me my 1 BTC or become exposed - CHOW CHOW!

You're getting poorer by the minute while welshing on your bets.

I think it's time a moderator steps in and ban this guy for foul language, begging for money and for being an idiot. There are limits to how retarded someone can be on this forum, unless you want this place to be ruled by trolls and idiots like this. Some cynical minds would say that is already the case, and they may have a point, but all the more reason to say enough is enough and clean this place up a bit.

It's been like that since months. For one average poster that is sincere (at least sometimes) you get 10 trolls, 12 fudsters, 6 idiots, and 12 lambo-alts. The ignore button should be mandatory. Use it at least twice a week, you'll ALWAYS find some obvious target. People should have banners with their ignore-list, and campaign that offers satoshis for using the button.

Ignoring is not enough, there are always people who will feed the trolls and if not some other troll with a new account will do it. Moderators will have to weed some of the worst of them out otherwise the remaining sensible people here will leave and this place becomes a real shitheap.

Once again Chow is wrong. ROFL

And the price continues to trend down.
$266 now.

20@$277?  So that's what, less than 2k down in 9 days?  Meh.

the price @ $160 now :'(
you loss

more likely to go sub $100 before it goes to $300.

Chow, still holding those 20 btc? speak up, son.

why?  Look at the buy orders on the exchanges.... As the price drops it will attract more buyers and the price has just walked up 50 points in under 2 hours.

Nothing has changed regarding Bitcoin. It still works and its in its infancy, the price refelcts sentiment but please learn markets.. price drops which attracts more buyers and once buyers exceeds sellers price rises....about 20,000 BTC have been bought on Bitstamp in 2.5 hours which suggests plenty of people are ready to buy and, god forbid, if the price starts to rise quickly then watch the rush. Finaly the people who panic sold and lost will wait and wait and wait and then finally buy back in when their confidence returns and that will be right at the top of the market and.. woops, more crying as they lose on the next fall!

The smart people bought BTC for the long term and are not worried unless they are day traders and they are loving all this high volatile market and making a killing on the panic sellers who dont understand how investment models work...

Rant over

Thank you... Elvis has now left the building

lol oh man. ultimate thread backfire.  Such arrogance as well.

Why isnt OP banned for scamming? Failure to pay out a bet is pretty much a scam.

Yes, major backfire.

Not only did Chow lose money on the 20 BTC "purchase" but he also lost the "bet" with the implication of "look how smart I am - the price will hit $300 and continue upward, my purchase was brilliant" as opposed to below $200.

This thread is an embarassment but good for laughs!  ;D

The OP was 68 cents short of being correct 4 days after his post but the fact remains that if he took the bet and agreed, then he owes someone a coin. I consider that his purchase a decent buy even tho he's out about a $1k or so. Much more so than someone that bought similar at anything higher. This is why you don't blanket buy at any one point, but piecemeal it towards a bottom. Cheers from here!

Now you idiots see that Chow Chow was a Scammer. He deleted the Topic and ran away with the 1 BTC he owes me! I want an opened Apologie here in this threadfrom all of the lagendary members that sided with chow chow and not with me! I went in on his bet, he confirmed, he lost the bet and then he failed to pay
