To me it seems like I'm suppose to think it's going down based solely on the ask orders but I can't identify any fundamental reasons why it should go down..

I thought it was a very good round table! Even the anti stuff was quickly squashed.

AFAIK they went into open beta with some serious security holes that may or may not have been put there intentionally by one of the owners(code writers) which led to a 4kBTC hack right off the bat which was too much damage for them to recover from.

And how much for shipping to Europe on top?

I'm sorry but even though I'd like to you're just too expensive for me to even consider buying bullion from you. The only reason I'd do it is if I wanted to potentially hide my Bitcoin income from the thieving government(gasp: yes, yes I mean tax evade) but I'm pretty sure you'd want all my ID info anyway.

Ok I rechecked and used the BTC rate on their site and it's still $114 over spot shipping not included. I don't know about you but that's way too expensive, nearly double what I usually pay locally.

Yeah, a bit cheesy but cool!

The volume isn't here? 75k volume is nothing to you?

I just started watching this and I already think it's an awesome video!:

Is it just me or are your $300 fees for 1oz bars outrages?

huh?

Ka-ching!

$12.  


EDIT: what a monstrously wide spread.. 

Heh both sides are behaving like children: "My idol was smarter!" other side: "No, my idol was smarter!" other side: "No, not true, my idol was smarter!" other side: "No, stop lying, my idol was smarter!" and bla bla bla


I deplore worshiping any man for anything. I only care about the truth and I care not who thought of it and is now spreading it. I also don't care if that person isn't entirely correct about everything because I know in advance no one is. I simply take what they are correct about and discard the rest with no regard for their reputation or prestige.

^ this.

People generally aren't being taught to use reason and evidence, in large part thanks to public education, and so can easily fall prey to fraud.

It's really that simple.

Sometimes that's the only education that sticks.

Allow me to just quickly point out how the outcome of this escapade so far seems to perfectly coincide with the predictions I and other like me, who used reason and evidence to evaluate BS&T and what pirateat40 is really doing, predicted.

But it's ok to make a mistake and fall for the fraud as long as you manage to learn something from it and not repeat the mistake.


Next time, please use reason and evidence(or lack thereof) in your evaluations or if you haven't learned how to do that, at least listen to people who do.

Game theory. People expect the walls to get tested and so they readjust their strategy before it actually happens and so it "never" does.

Isn't gold a bit risky for stuff like this because it's relatively soft and can be easily damaged?

Don't ever expect a man to understand what him getting his paycheck depends on him not understanding.

Money laundering like oh so many "crimes" (drug prohibitions, tax evasion, various regulations, unlicensed practice of whatever, ect ect.) is a very very recently invented "crime" but I don't believe I have to give a rats ass about what some private bank thinks I should or shouldn't do with my money even if they call it money laundering, hence the beauty of Bitcoin.
