Forget bitcoins, you should have opened up that PNC virtual wallet. You would have made $150 guaranteed.

Can't really say that they're coupled. Many gold bugs don't understand even ridicule bitcoin. Two totally different user/investor classes (for the current moment at least).

There are a lot of people here that also like precious metals, myself included.  Needless to say, there are  bitcoin people who don't like pms, and gold- and silverbugs that don't like bitcoin.  However, I would bet that the % of bitcoiners that like PMs is larger than the average % of the population that likes PMs, and vice versa.

(Dollar Value of bitcoin traded on Mt.Gox - Dollar Value of bitcoin transactions processed by Bitpay)/ Dollar Value of bitcoin transactions processed by Bitpay

Why do you first subtract the bitpay value?

Some of that 100,000,000 isn't only trading/investment/speculation but represents merchants trying to get back to the dollar so it should be subtracted to get to a number that represents only trading/investment/speculation.

Ok, makes sense.

I know you guys have bigger things to do right now, but for the future:
Is it possible to make the 'deposit wallet' information show immediately on the lending page?  Right now I have to select another wallet first, then go back to deposit wallet to see how much I can lend out.  It's only a stupid little thing but it is annoying.

I may have gotten the title slightly wrong; I can't see it anymore.

Seems to have been pulled, comments are still there.

sounds like a good idea.
Is there an option for both directions (so both employers posting available jobs and employees offering their skills)?

Someone showed me this image earlier, which was not made for the sake of Bitcoin but to descibe bubbles in general:

When I saw it I LOL'd... you would think it was made to exactly describe today's "Bitcoin mania", but JP Rodrigue designed it in 2008 (before Bitcoin was even born) to describe the life-cycle of typical financial bubbles.  Cheesy

What was probably the most amusing is how he labeled the peak "New Paradigm"; ironically, people here are talking about the "new paradigm" and "reorganization of society" and other [excessively] premature characterizations of bitcoin.

Good luck, everyone!

 Grin Grin Grin

You can keep lolling, but the people on this forum were probably talking about the reorganisation of society when bitcoin was still <$1. 
1872  Economy / Speculation / Re: FINALLY $ 1 000 000 000 ALLREADY !!! on: March 28, 2013, 06:05:50 AM
I think this is just because people were wary of the coinlab deal and pulled their coins out of Gox until they know whats going on. True value is 20$.

Are you trolling or being serious?

blockchain.info does something similar: speculation (money flows to exchanges) as a ratio to overall bitcoin money flows.

The good news is, that ratio seems to be decreasing since late last year :-)

I think they actually show trade/tx ratio, the naming is wrong.

You know what, there was a thread about Bitcoin passing $1M market cap, and people were like" It did? meee, let's get back to work."

We need to think in $B's now Oak  Smiley

people, just watch out and be careful.
The weekend is approaching, and its a long weekend.

I'd say the odds are 50:50 that we break through, and then fall back, or that we fall back first, take a breath and then run up to a second attempt. My reasons for that guess? Just common sense.  Wink

Same here.  Of course, if everybody thinks this, it won't happen Smiley
1878  Economy / Speculation / Re: [POLL] How much money have you invested in Bitcoins? on: March 28, 2013, 04:26:36 AM
Nearly $3k

Bought in at 9, 15 and 38 on the first bubble, kind of hurt when that slipped away suddenly.

Then due to bad trading and a few little cash outs, I'm a bit over double my investment as it stands

Now if we all calc how much time we spent dorking around with bitcoins compared to profit i imagine i have made about 1.20 an hour :-)

Haha, good point.


Goodvibes, could you clarify the poll?

A) is it the present value of your bitcoins?
B) is it how much you put in initially ?
C) is it how much you put in - what you cashed out?
D) ...
1879  Economy / Economics / Re: Are gold and bitcoin coupled? on: March 28, 2013, 04:19:38 AM
I'm curious to know whether gold and bitcoin price are subject to rise in the same direction. Basic thinking suggests yes, because both are bets against the fiat currency system. However, since there is so much overlap between users of gold and bitcoin, I wonder if for example a sudden rise in gold would lead Bitcoiners to sell and take positions in gold instead, pushing the bitcoin price down? I believe that once Bitcoin establishes its position as a means of exchange, rather than its predominant current use as store of value then this won't be a concern any more. Any thoughts on this matter?

I think gold and bitcoin have an overlap in function (undilutable money), and thus an partial overlap in target group (people interested in undilutable money).
The amount of money this target group has will be divided over bitcoin and precious metals (silver too), so yes, increased adoption of 1 will lead to removal of funds from the other, think communicating vessels.  I would think that absent bitcoin crashing or other bad news, it will be bitcoin that takes more market share however, not gold.

The second thing to consider is whether the amount of people interested in undilutable money, and the % of their wealth that they want in undilutable money will increase or decrease.  In other words: how big will the pie become that bitcoin and gold share?  My money is on the pie getting a whole lot bigger.

And "millie" is certainly easier to say than "bee-tee-em", much as the latter's grown on me. Smiley

I don't get the logic for BTM.   mBTC sounds way simpeler to me.
