Can posters please reframe from using this term. I find it substantially and economically immature (not least fundamentally retarded) to coin such a phrase, especially when, all things considered, not one of us has any slightest idea where Bitcoin price will be in 1 year, let alone 1 month. So quit jinxing it.

If this terminology also annoys you then please post here and let's voice our disquiet together, as one.

To paraphrase Dr. Chomsky. No, you cannot change the way people communicate.

Yes, I freaking getting pretty pissed off by this.
This sounds like something the dogecoin community would say, and I think they're all 15 year olds.

It really does sound childish and stupid.

I seldom see this phrase in bitcointalk. I thought this is only used in Bitcoin reddit?

I know where the price will be in 1 year, in the moon!1! ┗(°0°)┛

i think you will only provoke people to say it, if you post stating you do not want to hear it
#tothemoon

It does annoy me, and you starting with it as the title was also annoying.

No one should say that phrase except for u/totheMoonGuy. :3

Bitcoin to the mooon!!! Choo CHoo!! All aboard the gravy train! We are all going to be so loaded OMFG!

We have "to the moon" title periodically.

We do not want the price to the moon instantly. The price should rise depending on the adoption of bitcoin and related technology. Bitcoin should not be a tool for speculation only.

it is ONLY speculation. in 2-3 weeks the price will fall near 200 usd or below.

"To the moon" according to me means we can't really go much higher. So the term isn't appropriate to use anyway these days. Rally or bull run are better terms.

Oh boy, things haven't changed a bit around here while I was away :P

Slow N Steady Wins the Race. We don't want that bitcoins price should reach moon overnight. We have waited a lot for the day that the value of bitcoins keeps on increasing and at a moment the prices are going high and that is the best news for us. We want that it should keep on increasing over the time and that will totally depend on the adoption level of the people.

what the reason?,though the price will be stable or higher than today because of EU effect

Even if it turns out to be speculation, price will not go under $350 you will see.
Follow the hype train!

I feel its not speculation but an individual with lots of money who has been driving the price up by investing his own money. Another thing is economic crash is close so maybe thats why lot of people putting their money into bitcoin.

Yes OP, I agree. You can open 10 more threads like this but people will just be people and do whatever they want to do.

If it will make you feel better, I also always considered childish using this term, and to be honest, I don't think u have ever used it. So at least you have someone on your side!  ;)

It doesn't matter how you call it, in the end its same thing. Don't waste your time on terms usage problem :) lets be happy now that bitcoin is back in business.

Calm down OP. Nothing wrong with people having fun and celebrating the very deserved price rise. Also, new technology gets adopted by young people because old people are too stupid and stuck in the middle ages of banking to understand the importance of Bitcoin, so I would expect that a lot of people in here are going to be young people and not old investors.

What do you think would make a better Slogan?

Yeah and the "young people" are increasing in numbers every day compared to the "old folks". :)

It annoys him to what he has created as a thread? That sounds awkward and freaky.

Yes. To the stars, would be much better. And To the ends of the universe, better yet.

 :D

Was almost $500 earlier. Back down to $437 as of this writing.   :)

Fuck the moon! Pluto is nice this time of year I heard

Well, it seems the moon is drawing closer down to earth because bitcoin community keeps calling her.. ;D

That's okay. The moon sweeps a lot of space debris away from earth.    :D

Bitcoin  price hits $450 for the first time this a year
I hope bitcoin price go to the mars or will the price of bitcoin continue its up

yep, will be pretty nice that this reach more than 600$, btw with the incoming halving i think that we will see this soon, well maybe not in the next weeks but in the next months we can expect that ;)


pluto seems so close, lets expect something better! :P

It's just a small step, farther worlds await.

Well it mean we have great chance for Mars this time as it is already there so that no doubt this time something wonderful happening with great call for to the moon.

Calm down buddy Bitcoin will get stable price above $500 before end of this month. ;D

I perfectly agree with OP, I could never stand this "slogan".

No. The moon is what gives us hope, and we need it to keep the tides in place. Nice try tho.

Just a phrase for hyper, excitable folks to rally around, don't let it annoy you.

I am one of em  ;D

We hope the price up to $600/btc in 2016
We know after opening at $400 / btc 12 Hours ago
The price of bitcoin has peaked $462 recording a 13.4% increase in a single day
So.. nothing is impossible reach more than $600 for the next months or the next a year

Internet Rule 19 'The more you hate it, the stronger it gets.'

How about to Alpha-centauri? Perhaps it is too long


But "to the moon" does not really piss me either

I can refrain from using it but why does it bother you so much?

It's a joke. It's a goofy tag line. It's a spirited slogan that summarizes the hopes of a lot of early adopters!

Instead I'll say, "to the next resistance level, and then breakthrough it to new highs" so that you can feel and read the sophistication you're looking for.

P.S. Can you stop using the word "reframe" for the word "refrain"...to reframe is put a new frame on a picture or phrase a thought in a new way. To refrain is to stop doing something. I find that using the word incorrectly conveys a level of immaturity that I'm not able to handle.

Thanks!

Actually, Coinbase is reporting the price crossed $500 earlier today (topping out at $504).

You should realize that there is no open or close for bitcoin exchanges, right? They're always running...there's a price quote at any time of day. There's the ability to buy/sell at any time of day. So your "open" price is going  to be someone else's "mid day price" or "close price" or "after hours price"

I'm pretty sure that the current price surge is caused by the greatest pyramid scheme of our times in combination to the Chinese capital controls and that the collapse will be horrendous. I might be too bearish, but I don't think it'll be easy to climb back at the 450$ levels after a crash at this point.

This time sure to the moon as situation is totally different and in favor of Bitcoin than 2013.Adoption,recognition,large use for transfer of fund in remittance market so price will not drop but will keep growing gradually over the time.

What's the ponzi scheme you're referring to - fractional lending? How would that  (this week/month) have caused the surge in price? What's happened in that world to be the catalyst?

It's probably good that it's not easy to climb back...time spent at $450 will validate the rise to $450.

There's a well known Bitcoin Ponzi scheme currently in place in China run by a Russian fraudster. I don't know try googling it.

actually price is dropping very fast... few hours ago it was on 476$ by Preev... look now... 410-415$...

On BitStamp, the price has been up and down all over the place for the last 24 hours - under $300 to almost $500.

:)

Why would this annoy you? I, and many others, will definitely not stop using this phrase.
Since you're too mature for a lunar landing, we'll just leave you behind.

I will be happy if it stabilizes at around $400ish. This is just a mini bubble it seems.

Is the moon in the ground?  That is what looks like where Bitcoin is actually going.  Yikes.  I haven't seen it go down this fast ever I think in my life or since I started using Bitcoin.  Hopefully it will stabilize here I wonder what is going on.

60$ down in one hour-370 on Bitstamp ???

not looking good

Yikes... flash crash. Hopefully support around $350 can stop it. Meh, I'm fine if it stopped around that price for a while. still a lot better than the price two months ago.

I find the phrase useful to identify immature idiots in threads, so I can quickly ignore any of their opinions on economics or finance without having to read their entire posts.

MMM is the ponzi I'm referring to.

I was right though, literally minutes after this post the price started crashing and reached bellow 400.

How can a Ponzi have so much capital to control the price like that ? The only way they can pump is by buying coins, and with the amount needed to reach 500, they would have more than enough coins to sell, to make any profits out of it.

Some dumbass on reddit "called its going to the moon" then immediately after it crashes down. Making a slow recovery now, but these 20$-30$ price swings are insane.

You'd be surprised.

The guy behind this has a long history with pyramid schemes, this time it went global, and it's using bitcoin.

It has more than 50k daily active users, and more are registering each day.

Maybe the moon wasn't above the earth at that point of time :P



Thanks for the link, will check it out. Still funny how it can go up so much just from a ponzi.

I think it's more that people saw 500$ and started to take profits. I don't feel that worried. I "assume" that the price is going up due to the interest in bitcoin and the need for bitcoin.

It went up huge today and went down back to where it was yesterday. And is going up again. No big deal.

I'm not much of a trader but i want to start, looking at this crazy swings, should i start at btce ? or some where else. ?

If I post to the moon meme as reply, do I support the thread, or oppose it?     

Are you using reverse psychology to create a new to the moon hype?

There is no doubt that bitcoin prices going to moon. But everybody looking here for the a steady and stable price raise not this kind of sudden rise. Because this may reverse at any time once people decided to dump out.

That right. Many people here are looking for steady and stable price rise. We do not need too much volatility in bitcoin price. But some people want to manipulate the price to earn big.

I don't mind it if it's not used too often.

In a way, this thinking is a bit backward.

If you want Bitcoin stability, you need to elevate Bitcoin in your mind to the position of main money, rather than some fiat, or even gold or silver.

Bitcoin has always been stable to itself. Other currencies rise, and other currencies fall. Bitcoin remains the same.

The value of a loaf of bread may rise, or it may fall with regard to Bitcoin. But Bitcoin is always stable within itself.

In fact, this might be the most important part of Bitcoin. If you make Bitcoin the money focus, you will start to recognize that everything is money... not only fiat dollars... not only gold or silver coin. Once you recognize that everything is money, you will start to value all things against each other, rather than all things against fiat. Thinking like this will give you the mindset to barter all things against each other, and make a fortune in value rather than in fiat, or even in Bitcoin.

:)

It looks like bitcoin is now hovering in the 390's. Maybe this is the end of the bubble?

Could be the end of the bubble.

This was all some big Chinese Bitcoin holders profiting off an artificial bubble that they created.

:)

A stable rise can't and wont happen because the value is still much too low for stability.

How the hell do you expect a slow and steady rise when even $1,000,000 can drive the price up or down a lot?

Back to basic, less supply more demands then price rise. look at fundamental analysis nowadays. well no doubt if it will going to the moon.

On the good side some people profited before the end of the bubble. Now they will start buying bitcoins again for the short or long wait.

I loved the chart going to the moon. It just directed to a large crater so it might be stucked. Hope it gets up again. Now we gain some price. Maybe next time it will go to $600 then plays at the $500 mark.

"Dear people on the internet, please stop doing things that annoy me."
That's how this post read for me

Lol, this thread is full of awesome.  Chart to the moon.  I think from now on in this entire thread, you have to include To The Moon in at at all points.   OP, please stop making threads that annoy me! 

To the moon have come to us. I wait 500 :)

as Robin Williams spoke of canadian dollar - how you can not take seriously a currency  called "the loonie" , the same is with this childish "to the moon". But people love it, so there is nothing much to change.

You always end up screwing up eventually. My personal opinion is just to hold. Yes you could have sold at 500 and made a killing, but when do you enter again? and what if the price keep going to 700? It's a gamble.

Go for kraken, despite the last 24 hours the site is really solid safe and secure.  Lots of options and good guys behind the exchange.

Banks of America guys published a report saying bitcoin value to be around $1300. That was two years ago. I got no idea what today's price should be. Maybe doubled due to more adoption?

Yes soon bitcoin will be to the moon really.I don't agree with who says 500 $ is the moon but in reality it is just warm up and starting period is to began soon and then so on towards real moon when price will reach over 10000 $/BTC.

Never really liked that phrase either, I think it does sound immature.

A stable 500$ would be very nice. I could see making more efforts for obtaining a Bitcoin revenue more worthwhile then. My little miner is not earning a whole lot of bitcoin after the electricity costs, but i think if we see a stable 400$ by 2016 and then stable 700$ by 2017, that my mining endeavors would become very worthwhile.

Some people are going crazy, speculating that the price will raises to new, massive, Heights (exponentially) by 2020, which i doubt, expecting 5 digits BTC value seem a bit farfetched so soon, but just somewhere in the thousands would make be very happy.

I am not sure how high is moon. Maybe $10,000?

No. You're seeing bitcoin like a tech company stock prices. Bitcoin is totally different. The new units are being released every 10 minutes and it has life time upper cap. All the above it has halving to go 50% reduced in supply in schedule. So, we can expect 5 digit number by 2016 itself.

ta da da daaa

When all the bitcoins have been created, there will be 2.1 quadrillion satoshi's. This should be enough to give every man, woman and child in the world (7.5 billion), 280,000 satoshi's.

If this isn't enough, even though it would be difficult to create more bitcoins, the satoshi can be easily divided into as many smaller parts as we need - in the programming.

What this means is, we are in the very early stages of Bitcoin. We, the early adopters, take the risks, but ultimately the rewards will be greater than ever.

:)

Not every man on the planet will be able to use bitcoins, 1/5 of total population is the top limit. 1 satoshi worth noting now, much time need pass before other lower number will be needed.

The price in several decades is that 1 Satashi = 1 US cent. There is unlimited supply of US cents, but very limited supply of bitcoin.

That's the point. There are a limited number of bitcoins. But satoshi's can always be split. Splitting satoshi's will simply make bitcoins worth more... like a stock split making stocks held to be worth more.

:)

assuming you're speaking abo9ut 280k usd, it's mean that 1 satoshi = 1 dollar and this is an enormous maerketcap, we are talking about 100M for 1 btc, it's really not possible no matter how much someone is willin gto wait

2.1 quadrillion in marketcap, not even the whole money available on the planet can cover this lol

To the moon? :o We are on early now since two days ago. But it is good to consolidate for the further price rise.

We are coming from low 200's and it seems people is already complaining because we aren't 500+ lol. Man, just thank that we will end the year higher than we started it, this means progress.

Yes... we need a slow but steady price development to not get new influx of ppl scared by volatility...

It is currently almost 400 usd worth. It almost doubled if i look at it now. It will rise many many more if everone spends a bit to stiulate the market instead of hodling 100%. Why don't buy stuff with bitcoin and introduce more people to this community.

While I am very much a fan of Bitcoin, I think that it is unwise to much faith in anything so far into the future as when BTC production will stop.  Do keep in mind that Bitcoin is nowhere close to being perfect, it is likely that something else will come along between *now and then* to supplant BTC.  In technology, it seems nothing stays FIXED for long.

Still, I will HODL (and OK, SPEDN) BTC as conditions for me warrant.

But, I still suggest diversification for almost everybody's investments.

Maybe a great reward, maybe.. This isn't a 100% sure thing, nothing ever is and people have to realize that.  You never know if something will come out better of maybe a huge security fault will come out for Bitcoin and it will be worthless.

This adoption process is happening but it takes time. The majority of people who were introduced to it were computer savvy users but now that is changing. As more and more people use it on their cell phones to make purchases they will more exposed to it's us and more people will adapt it to their everyday lives.
More people have cell phones then computers now. I think bitcoin is in a transition phase where it will be more widely used then we will see it rise in price then what it is at right now at near $400 mark.

Bitcoin seem to be holding its price at around 330$ which is excellent to me up from the previous 220$~ make me want to invest more in Bitcoin, but there are still a lot of up and downs that make me wonder where Bitcoin is heading, especially with the current massive raise in difficulty...

I feel the price will definitely be higher after halving but I'm unsure what the price of Bitcoin will end 2015 and start 2016 with. I really kind of hope to see the $220 range to pick up some more coins. I'm not against holding my coins long term. I just wish I had more coins to actively engage with. I don't mind the term "to the moon" but it doesn't seem very "adult" in context and some people might actively seek not to be associated with a phrase like that. But hey, to each their own ?

I think when Elon Musk transport the first people to Mars it will be fashionable to say To the Mars lol.

To moon is more sensational as the moon is much bigger and brighter in human eyes. It is our feeling, not the physical feature, I am afraid.

"To the moon" was the slogan of Paycoin about a year ago. That didn't end well.

paycoin is a trash can like many other altcoin, you can't simply compare it to the king

bitcoin right now have no sign of regression, we are increase every day as average increasing, it will goes well unless they fuck it with the bipxx hassles
