watching the exchanges is great entertainment. Somehow I can kind of feel the anguish and ecstacy of people globally, just like a Jedi can sense disturbances in the Force.
+1, sometimes the greatest entertainment is free .

I cannot access sites like bitfinex.com and cex.io, which are both my trading sites, I think their firewall is blocking my IP coz I regularly reloading them.
bitfinex is working for me. It auto-updates (or you can switch wallet tabs), so there is no need to renew your browser all the time.

Soon, we'll have something to cry about, soon it'll be :
|
|

1) Countermeasure: Create 10+ sockpuppets per day to predict a certain day, remove financial incentive for real hitman. 2) Countermeasure to countermeasure: ask for specifics about the assassination 3) Countermeasure ^3: Create 1000+ sockpuppets per day, each with different descriptions, site owner gets overwhelmed, site loses functionality
Or just do Nr. 3 from the start.

Hmm... Normal reaction to price runup I would think. Everyone has their price. People who like $750 (in goxbux) are bringing their bitcoins out of the woodwork.

yeah i don't know what happens next but just seeing what I am seeing is nothing other than amazing. I am telling you my brain is totally amazed. I have no clue what happens next because I have never seen this before.
and this is now with real money, not that BS april thing that happened before, I can see orders of $100 000s flowing through in single buys and sells.
no offence to any of you still long, but just so I can witness something equally as amazing, I would like to see a crash of the same magnitude, because I will never forget this run up, ever, so a crash to match would complete the amazement x 2. But I am hoping it runs higher first, stretch the elastic band to the moon ...... and back lol
It will crash eventually like it did in April, but probably not as hard - maybe it will drop to 1/3 of the peak before it gets bought back up. And there will be endless threads of, 'I told you it was a bubble' with the replies of, 'whatever, just hold and wait for it to go recover and go even higher' In this case the crash already happened: 900 to 600. I would call it a big correction, not a crash.

I hope you strongly considered canceling the upgrade due to the risk of a crash. Especially if it would take more than 15 minutes. Any time that BTC is going up 20% or more a day, you are near the peak and ready for a crash (whether it is the ultimate crash or just a correction). You might have been able to take preventative measures to decrease volume (ex. increase minimum order size).
The previous two booms (2011, and 2013) had the greatest rate of increase the day before the crash (someone should double check it, but it is what I recall).
At least it isn't scheduled during the Senate hearing.
Why isn't the upgrade done on a weekend ? It's usually quiet during that time. Don't we have the fabled "weekend dip" at that time normally?

This is all Spaceman's fault. We were going nicely to the moon then he decided to stop for fuel because he wants to go to Mars.... Some noobs jumped out and got pulled down by gravity. God damn it.
Couldn't help it, somebody mixed nitro in my rocket fuel. You guys think that's it? Back to up the hill, or more shakeout? My guess is we'll still have a bit of volatility, then some consolidation around this level or somewhat lower. Then to the moon. Then the real crash (of the current bubble). Guess we'll have to wait and see.

Historic days. 500. The hearing. 900. Wow. I went out for a couple hours to grab a bite and I lost all the climb to 900 and crash action... Does anyone know how big of a dump it was accross all exchanges? I watched BitStamp crash from $755 to $521 Bitfinex went to $501.2 at least.

OK so I go out to buy some sandwiches from subway with bitcoin (hooray!), stay for a couple of beers & whiskey, come home and see this? WTF Bitcoin I am drunk and I have no idea what just happened. Did we just "crash" after going up like 25% in 3 hours or what? WTF IS HAPPENING? LOL still great fun to watch
See this attitude tells us..... this isnt a crash. PPL actually enjoying seeing pigs getting slaughtered. There is so much pork and bacon around this market right now it is like a ww1 battlefield if pigs were fighting it. Oh man, you just brought this memory back from long long ago: Hogs of War

How are the liquidations going? Site responsiveness is pretty good so far I think.

As always, when I am making good trading decisions, I wager really low amounts. When I make stupid mistakes, its for large amounts. Still happy today is the "low amount" day

Can someone tell me wtf is going on? All the exchanges are lagging and everyone is panicking, because the bubble is popping. Now we find the bottom. A the moment I think we will have a hard correction, but the bubble will still go up in the coming weeks. I might be wrong though, euphoria is usually not the best emotion for clear thinking .

Can someone tell me wtf is going on? 1) bitcoin was increasing in price 2) bitcoin got (even) more media attention 3) bitcoin went up in price 4) repeat steps 2 and 3, then go to step 5 5) senate hearing was pretty darn positive 6) liftoff 7) price volatility
