We are close to having a new ATH in terms of amount of USD on the books @ Gox.
Maybe i should sell my massive amount of coins into that? |

I've been away from my computer for a couple hours. What is going on? Is it safe to get some sleep tonight?

Single digits by friday  |

This is playing out like a condensed version of that oft posted bubble pic.

Recovery key doesn't help. The master key is encrypted with your recovery key and bootup usb. Thats the key used to decrypt the data, and its not stored anywhere except the drive itself. I think I was one of the last ones to successfully withdraw from gox, thankfully pulled out all I needed to buy my house before the withdraw problems started.
Although it was at an average of $120/btc, missed the 266 bubble and this runup... Would have been way better off with a mortgage.
You can talk about sellers remorse in a couple of years. Still got plenty more. Besides, remorse is the 5000btc wallet lost to a corrupted bitlocker partition, or close to that lost to pirate. Jesus Christ, I can't imagine. Truly no way to recover that partition? Sent it off to 4 data recovery companies. Almost all datas intact, but the bitlocker metadata (including master key) are corrupt... 256 bit AES key I wouldn't give up if I were you. Obviously you can't brute force a 256 bit AES key. But you MIGHT be able to brute-force an algorithm to fix whatever corruption happened to the metadata... I'm not an expert but at the very least it seems plausible. For 5000 bitcoins, I'd hire an expert and get a few Amazon GPU clusters going. If you're not into the idea of trying out of pocket, maybe you'd be willing to crowdfund to give it a shot? I'd be interested. Metadata dosen't matter too much, the key is part of whats corrupt. Would me far more cost effective to attempt to brute force the silk road coins I'm just speculating that most of the information is still there, that maybe only a few bits are wrong, or that something is bit-shifted, or whatever (again, not an expert). It seems much, much less computationally intensive to try to repair the key than crack a wallet blind. The first few entire sectors of the drive are unreadable. Ok, so what you're really saying is that you cannot recover your bitcoins. |

Just talked to karpeles via personal cell. He says buy orders are working fine but sells are not. Not exactly sure what the problem is, but has determined this is a new kind of ddos. Should be resolved by end of the month.
Can people withdraw BTC from Gox ? I know BTC withdrawals were not working yesterday. Karpeles says btc withdrawals are working fine but fiat still non-functional. Will provide official statement re the latter after new midas engine implemented, which is now expected late 2014. |

Bitcoin: you have my permission to crash.

uh, what's the problem?
Crashing to single digits. Sell as fast as you can.  |

I thought we might see consolidation at around $300 for while, but the highlighted article on Zerohedge saying BTC could go to $1m is dynamite.
Bring on $400.
That article seems to say it could go to $1 million because with bitcoin everything is so ridiculous you can just pick a random number out of the air (true). That said, google news only mentions the headline, which reads like a statement of fact. The writer doesn't understand anything about bitcoin. He thinks the only purpose of bitcoin is playing the bubble game before the last and big burst. Sounds like he understands bitcoin perfectly. |

$260 on Gox by Tuesday.
What about your apple? It's in the back of my mind. I'm always keeping an eye on apple bottoms. Like I said, apple bottom not meaningful unless an upper resistance is subsequently breached. Repeat after me, "Walsoraj, you are right and I was wrong." Prefer in bold super large font. Thx in advance. |

Hold on, guys! Zerohedge have been anti-bitcoin for as long as I can remember. having them onboard is a pretty big deal, right?
A large portion of the doomsday prepper crowd blindly follow zerohedge. So, yes. |

Apple not bullish unless it breaks through upper resistance. Until then, meaningless.

Is there a consensus on which exchange is leading these downturns?
|
|
|

The top is $422.
/end of discussion
^I was pretty damn close to calling the top. *edit* and the post below mine even closer: My thoughts:
$349 on Bitstamp
$396 on Gox
2525 on BTCChina
At least the top of this rally, after a couple weeks of retracements and consolidation a new rally will begin.

What is the deal with btcchina.com? Entering that as a url does't load. The first google hit is https://vip.btcchina.com. A fake? Wtf? hack? DDOS? vip url a phishing attempt? |
