Anyone notice that "bitcoin" gets flagged as an incorrectly spelled word when posting?

A novel concept, but for the number of items that break, burn out, or have been replaced I would be up a creek many a time if I had payed in bitcoins

Take a gander at this above abstract.

This article concludes "This suggests that bubbles are abated when traders know that a subset of them have an edge (in information) over others."   Fascinating findings, in light of the "stagnent" (SELLL!!!) or as I call, stable, bitcoin prices between 14-15$.   

1 .  Bitcoin robberies of "large" sums (the alleged 25k btc from an unsecured wallet)

2 .  We get goxed

3.  a. Panic Ensues. Knowledge is now commonplace that these magical earliest of the earliest adopters exist, and have large sums of btc.
     b. Hackers exist, and know something the poor mtgox team does not about their own system. More knowledge
     c. More info that the "your account isnt hacked" accounts, were indeed hacked the week previous. HMMM
     d. Trade hill happens to open that week previous, and doesn't hesitate in sending emails with the leaked database, putting discounts up (that they can now cancel), and generally being shady. Compare and contrast.

4. The bitcoin bubble is popped.  And stays at 14 instead of crazy fluctuations daily. 

Conclusion:  Everything is going better than expected.  Thanks... hackers?

I have been mining for just about 4 months, before that I just played on gox.

Allow me to say to all the Vets:

Thank you so much, I have never posted.  I have never needed to.  Furious Logical truth from start to finish.  Its because of you all that I now have a dream computer payed off, and if I make money too, that's fine.

From all the lurkers out there, keep on posting.  Whenever something happens (and recently its been a string of bad), I come here.  Logic Prevails.
Many Many Thanks for all the guidance you didn't realize you were giving.

In honor of my quad core, crossfire 6990s, with 2x 1kw psu's being paid off, I am taking the day off from mining  (unless of course the average difficulty has a nice low-pull session) and installing Crysis.

Many Thanks to all you wonderful Vet Miners, and Tycho for making me computationally rich.

Long Live the Bitcoin   Cheesy
