Might be a stupid question, but is this the first time we get airtime on a big network? (outside of the good wife ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) )

my completely speculative guess: we take a breather at 71-72, then spike up again, then decent selloff

Where'd they get that bogus chart? And since when does a 1% gain equate to "slams higher?"
Nothing is the matter, Tyler simply needed an excuses to write about Bitcoin again. These guys are all-in right now. Nah, this is a different Tyler who is bitter that the other Tylers got into bitcoin, but his silver isn't appreciating.

lost week i was warned by a mod and had a post deleted because it was "off topic" in this thread...
Really? That's disconcerting. This thread is my favorite on the forum because it constantly derails and then bounces right back on the next wall post. There's not really a thread like it on the forum. +1 You captured my feelings exactly when you called it the lounge.

This is the lounge of the forum! Next topic is: potatoes. +1. nothing's really offtopic here according to my understanding. duuude! CARROTS! lost week i was warned by a mod and had a post deleted because it was "off topic" in this thread... Seriously? What was it, a wall pic? ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif)

Guys, you remember when we all dreamed of the far distant day of getting to a new ATH?
Good times.
why does it seem such a long time ago, though. Is there a psychological explanation for this? I meant it mostly as a joke, but we humans do have a crazy ability to adapt to new situations quickly and expect it to continue to be that way indefinitely. +1

Hahahaaa, I just found out I made 80 euros because someone put in a huge market order by mistake, took out my overpriced ask at 65 euros earlier ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) I wonder if it was a mistake? Yeah, the guy admitted it on chat @ exchange.

Hahahaaa, I just found out I made 80 euros because someone put in a huge market order by mistake, took out my 10 bitcoins at overpriced ask at 65 euros earlier ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) Too bad I didn't notice earlier, now I bought back during this peak.

No kidding. I'd be significantly out before then. I could take care of everyone in my immediate family (pay off their debts) and set my mom and pop up in a house that is fully paid for.
Don't forget the fact that you lose half in taxes ![Sad](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/sad.gif) I can't get a straight answer on this. Some people say 15%, some say 50%. Then someone rolls in and flames the shit out of everyone for thinking about paying taxes, lol. I haven't really looked into it much to be honest. Obviously it also depends on which nation you live in.

hahahaha this guy comparing it to farmville credits. FUCK man we have a long way to go before this is truly mainstream. Go look at the latest Zero Hedge article. Those people are truly imbeciles. Holy shit. I lost all respect for Tyler now, acting like silver being up $0.40 is an epic rally. There are several Tylers, this one appeared to be frustrated that he missed out on bitcoin, and stayed all in silver... (I like silver too by the way). Quite stupid to say that something is 'plunging on high volume' when it is breaking record highs though..., same rhetoric as mass media used to do with gold.

You could just transfer bitcoins to an exchange and then withdraw them sometime later - the bitcoins you get back will not be the same ones you sent. The exchange will have the same information about you either way.
So, in essence, the exchange acts as a mixer or laundry service. I would expect the exchanges to comply with the law and provide all details necessary to the government when a money laundry investigation is launched.

What is unique about bitcoin is that the price has to be high enough for it to be useful. I mean who doesn't want to send money internationally without paying high fees? Who doesn't want to put their wealth in cold storage somewhere they can check from time to time? But in order for all this to happen, the market has to be liquid enough in the first place.
I am not the kind of people who will believe in a moon shot, but I will at least postpone outburst of fear uncertainty and doubt before we reach triple digits, the rally has to continue for bitcoin to survive, if you had been through the bottom of 2011 you will know how outrageously manipulated the market was then, simply because it is too small. Judging by percentage variation, the volatility now is way lower than it was then.

damn you crazy BTC. I give up trying to sell high buy low, all I end up doing is sell high, buy higher.
Thing is: while this is not so good when price goes constantly up, it does buy you some safety and potential for good profit in case of a dip (or even panic). I will continue to do this (sell high, buy in again higher). It sux to sell and see the price go higher and I used to get really pissed and almost decided to go all long but nowadays I tell myself: at least you've been quite safe and you supported bitcoin (as sort-of a "buyer of last resort"). Also: if everyone stops having some fiat on gox ready for a drop, that will greatly amplify the drop (who's going to buy up the cheap coins?) Me too, I have been burned once and successful once, as long as I don't get burned too often I'll keep trying ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) . My motivation is more based on greed (through self-delusion of trading skills) than "for the good of bitcoin", but the end result is the same.

I am also of the opinion that our current price is way, way, way to low and is held low by speculators.
How do you figure? I believe shorting is very limited, so anybody who wants to speculate besides that needs to buy bitcoin, thus increasing the amount of fiat pumped into the system. And they are only successful if they sell at a higher price (thus leaving the price higher).
