1561  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can we all write to FBI asking not to sell bitcoins but hodl them? on: June 15, 2014, 01:26:52 PM
how many BTC does the FBI actually hold? So much to being private.
New location of their big stash, the coins claimed by DPR and not being auctioned off (yet):

https://blockchain.info/address/1i7cZdoE9NcHSdAL5eGjmTJbBVqeQDwgw

144,341.53249133 BTC (and growing due to small "donations" every day)

New location of the little stash, the coins that are going to be auction off:

https://blockchain.info/address/1Ez69SnzzmePmZX3WpEzMKTrcBF2gpNQ55

29,658.80070152 BTC (and growing due to small "donations" every day)

In case you are wondering the old location of the two stashes:

https://blockchain.info/address/1F1tAaz5x1HUXrCNLbtMDqcw6o5GNn4xqX
https://blockchain.info/address/1FfmbHfnpaZjKFvyi1okTjJJusN455paPH

Which are still also growing due to people sending BTC to them in order to advertise (mostly beg for BTC).


They also keep seizing bitcoins once in a while

You know what the US gov can also do with the coins once sold? Track them for a long time. The bidder does not truly buy "clean" coins.

This could be an experiment for them to learn how successful they can be at following these sold coins.

Oh, no!

Surely the federal police of the Land of The Free And Home of The Brave would never do anything like that?

The buyers will be identified and are probably not criminals, if they want to anonymize their bitcoins they can use tumblers or third party websites

Everyone should read the first page of this thread.  In addition to me warning people that this was a possibility, there is also one user who wanted to invest "a large amount" and then asked ED if he wanted to "sell the site other then take donations" (not sure what this means but may be misworded to sell the site and just take commissions).  This user also has not posted on BCT in ~3 weeks, which seems to be 1-3 days after all of this going down.

Could be a giant coincidence, could be the two of them were in cahoots since the start, could be ED is telling the truth (yet is/has still acted extremely unethically), could be ED is looking for a scapegoat.  Just seems...odd to me.

It makes sense.
Btw, it seems uptweets has put quite some effort and bitcoin in promoting ED, or maybe just trying to get some ref.

Idk, stunna is fussed about 17th. It will change sig campaign maybe something to do with pd3 . We will see.

And we have a special extra happy hour today, with nothing to celebrate. Wink

Yeah , good point Cheesy . I can smell it its near ! Just will it be in this month or not ? Cheesy
Place ur bets there is still time Cheesy .
___________PRIMEDICE3

We still have 15days to go this month

It could be at the end of the month or early in July

Seeing the new rates for next campaign period will be interesting

Happy hour in ~24 hours from now. This happy hour will include 20k satoshi's per claim (2x the normal rate). Be sure to be on Smiley

I'm just writing here and hoping I will notice next happy hour.

I was so lucky to catch the last 5minutes of it, if you check the thread everyday you should participate in the next happy hour

PD3 is coming soon, maybe they have a promotion in place for the launch

On an other note, if you allow instant deposit for clients that played more than 5 or 10BTC but you don't allow to cash out before those deposits have been confirmed is there really a big risk involved for PD??

Guys chill out it's not just going to break through both of these supports in one go right away, right here where they are intersecting. I think if they break then it will break them both separately on separate occasions starting in at least a couple weeks.

It's a really tiresome statement. You do lose if the price goes down and you haven't realized the loss. You have fewer options now. You have no access to your former wealth and your purchasing power has declined. Will it be undone in the future? Maybe. But you are trapped in the present.

Remember, everything is still denominated in FILTHY FIAT.

Yes thanks captain obvious. But if we break below 530 we will go back to 450 and maybe lower so I'm not going to keep holding this bag through that. I have other bags I'm still holding though, but they're $100/coin bags so not as heavy. Wink

So essentially we can say either China has 10x more interest than the rest of the world or the numbers are cooked up if usd is isolated from yuan or rmb. What I care about is money coming out of fiat and into btc.
I am not sure what you mean, but: from all I have read, I am quite convinced that the November rally was entirely due to demand in the Chinese exchanges.  Ditto for the December crash and partial recovery, the decline from February to April, the stagnation in May, and the the mini-rally a couple weeks ago.  Not sure yet about the current decline, but it seems to have coinided with a new push to cut out the remaining channels of yuan deposit to the exchanges. 

I don't know how many coins are still in the hands of Chinese speculators and investors, but, if the markets there were to close and those coins returned to the Western market (which they probably would, since speculation seems to be the last significant utility of bitcoin in China), I am quite convinced that the price would drop to somewhere between 80$ (an estimate of where it would be if China had never entered the game) and 350$ (which it briefly reached after one of the PBoC scares).

As for Mr. Lee's claims: his exchange BTC-China used to have the largest volume in China until the December crash. Since that time it has become insignificant, while Huobi, OKCoin, and the other Nameless Ones became dominant.  (Huobi in particular seems to have bumped its volume just when BTC-China suddenly lost theirs).  I watched that video and heard the claims, but did not see the evidence. His being elected to the board of the Shrem Karpelès & Friends Foundation, together with Mr. Pierce, did not help convince me.


A few comments: the November 'rally' was the mania phase of the bubble, it would have happened anyway, but several months later.
The Chinese mania could have lasted a bit longer if the PBoC wouldn't have decided to cut the funding to the exchanges.
But the PBoC doesn't want to create a massive bitcoin crash, because of the potential social unrest associated with such a crash.
So for now the Chinese exchanges are in limbo IMO, they can't truly fund another significant uptrend, but don't want to start capitulation yet.
I already expressed my opinion that the closure of Chinese exchanges could drive the price to 100$ or below.
However, they seem to plan a move outside the jurisdiction of the PBoC, which may be a turbulent market period, because
they can easily transfer bitcoins from servers in mainland China, but customers' yuan could be tough to transfer to a new friendlier home.

That's right, just buy and hold,it will eventually get back up. The only losers in bitcoin are those who react to FUD.

Short term, there's a descending wedge in process, plus bullish divergences in MACD/RSI in various timeframes, and declining volume. I don't think there is much selling power left even if we take out the former low, but medium term is another story.

Dont you think its normal phenomena, when we going upside we talk about only upside and when we going downside then its same we talk only downside.

The difference between bulls and bears in runups or crashes is that bulls laugh about bears and insult them whereas bears mostly just laugh about Bitcoin.

^ yeah, i should have done that when i opened my account last november. by now i'd be 200+ activity poins. but i don't really care that much anyways.

Why don't you do that then? There's no gurantee signature deals will even be around by the time you build them up, but you'd probably be better off just using the accounts to participate in a sig deal as you wouldn't get much more than what you can on them anyway.

yeah, at this point i don't think sig posting will continue very long.. i still have no idea how they can send up to 2 btc to a person per month. maybe they just want to grow in market share until bitcoin is really legitimate, and then that's where they'll make all their money?

2BTC means 2000posts for a Sr Member and the banner visible on all past posts for this member so it means hundreds of thousands of views of the banner, there is probably only 2-4 members that get 1BTC or more per month

Most members that participate in a sig program post 50-300 and gamble it away on PD, they end up redepositing during the month and grow PD's bankroll and business

PD is known, liked and trusted because of the sig campaign and they know it, it is a way of giving back to the community@players and establish trust and positive image which is utterly important for a casino and very lucrative Wink

it is very simple why bitcoin doesnt take off.

This will come to an end eventually.

The mining reward will go down over time and adoption will grow; Bitcoin took off but it just started; Bitcoin will seem great compared to inflated currencies fixed by governments that create wars and economic turmoil

The auction will account for only about 0.3% of bitcoins but no telling how it will affect the price. If looking to buy, may be best to wait after auction. Seems a shame it's only open to those who can afford the 3000 block of coins or about $1.7 M. So much for the Gov making it easy for the small guy. Seems like they could have had some smaller blocks for sale - maybe blocks of 100.

Maybe some are driving the market price down to get a better deal during the auctions

It is easier for them to sell 3000 at a time

They follow the money and see what he did with it.  If he'd mixed it at SR for example, that would be good because it could've been lost. They say he dissipated the assets.  They say, you are in contempt until you come up with $X.

In short: She whores around.  She gets to get f&$@ed by some other guy,, he gets to get f$&@ed all over again by her in court.

in all seriousness -

how could they?

i like his plan.

What if he just said "I developed a gaming addiction and lost it all on a cryptocurrency gambling website"

Which in reality is completely possible and unproveable in the courts eyes seeing as none of the crypto gambling sites are registered with a government authority. Does this mean any married man who loses significant portion of his assets could go to jail for life for not being able to prove the means of which he lost it? Would be surprised if this was the case TBH.

If you cannot prove it and the judge is doubtful it will not stand in court

1577  Economy / Speculation / Re: Crossed 500 USD - Bull Market returns ? on: June 15, 2014, 10:58:16 AM
The US government's auction of bitcoins could attract some big players.
They might see an opportunity of obtaining bitcoins without moving the market.
In which case, prices would rise again.

I agree with the former point, not so much with the latter. I think the news put a damper on the market (no one knows if they will sell for a premium or a discount -- and if for a discount, they could literally suppress the price on exchanges).

How could the bitcoin be selling for at premium, while the buyers can buy bitcoin on exchanges little by little, day by day?

Because some buyers may want to accumulate a big position, and soon. Doing so on an exchange without drastically driving the price up is impossible. But I think it's hard to say which way it will go.

If you buy a big amount of BTC with the auction at market price you made money compared to buying on the market because buying this big amount of BTC would have drive the price up while you were buying so you bought a lower price than market price

But the funny thing is that if you want to sell your BTC you will lose money because you will drive the price lower even if you bought lower than market price!

Cheap credit is largely the culprit.  If there was no sucker who was desperate to purchase the overvalued homes (such as young families), who would be buying the properties off the investors?

If you took cheap credit and mortgages out of real estate, prices would return to historical norm (equivalent to a few years' salary as opposed to decades in the status quo)

Credit is what makes the world go around. Rewarding borrowers. Punishing savers.
But if you do put brakes on cheap credit, you would have industry up in arms, Demand contraction and GDP going down...

If the credit is too cheap because it is fixed by the FED, it blows air into bubbles, we saw that in 2000 with the dotcom bubble then during the house bubble and now it seems it is the time of a USD bubble
