its not enthusiasm believe me....its just feeling culpable for having sold the goxcoins profiteering from other peoples Stockholm syndrom.. or who were blinded to see through this " making the Ponzi work to rid the last idiot of his monies" which is still going on because nobody wants to accept the fact that there have been 800000 stolen coins sold down to a hundred dollars at empty Gox..... I would be rather worried that the plug is again pulled- why not tomorrow morning ? - nobody else suspicious why it is being held at 650 if you ´d really come to your senses thinking the matters through ? ok then cheers  WTF are you talking about? Plug is pulled by who? |

Satoshi playing CCMF:  How long before someone Photoshops the Bitcoin symbol onto his hat? That symbol on his hat... what is it? Reminds me of the AnCap colors. |

We'll know soon if it is him or not. The guy will have to address public, either to deny it or to admit it as he's going to be under lot of pressure now from media.
He'll just say, "I never told them I was Satoshi, they just assumed it and asked me if they could interview me about my life. I said yes because I hoped it may gain me some publicity and help out with my financial situation." |

Double space after punctuation is same though. It's rare to see someone to hit double space after it and it's there on both satoshi's posts and that letter. Not that rare for anyone older than about 35-40 in the US. I remember myself using double-space and being told to use them in school all the way up through high-school. That changed some time around late 90s and early 2000s. Largely happened through the use of email and message board posting. |

Do you all really think this is him?
Nothing makes me think it isn't. It really isn't of much importance other than for the "human angle" though. What makes you think it is? |

What is this strange Pennsylvania link?
Perhaps because of all the old trains during the coal and steel booms? The majority of the old trains are in the NE. Do you all really think this is him? |

This will be our first rally without that whacky mtgox trading system. So it may be less volatile just for that reason, with a shorter and more controlled rise followed by a lesser crash.
I can see the fall being more controlled, but I don't see the rise being any shorter. |

It's too early to go up though. It should take 2 weeks to break the 3 month downtrend. It would look REALLY akward on the chart if went up right now.
Look at the one-day chart though... is that just going to make a hard turn the other direction? It looks like it is headed upward. |

Two questions... why is the foundation the only group issuing bitcoin-qt updates? In most open-source projects there are people all over the place submitting their own updates.
Also, does anyone think there is truth to the idea that the government is who confiscated the Gox coins, placing the team under a gag order, and thus the reason for the "malleability bug" excuse?

On the one-day charts there appears to be a coming cross. Wouldn't this imply the price to travel higher a bit? Or can there be discontinuities in the 1d MA?

A well written article, if it were written about something else. Global warming comes to mind.
That's an interesting article: there are no doubts there's gong to be a major financial storm pretty soon as the sins of the recent past catch up with the global market, however whether BT will 'save' us is pretty dubious. However, parallels with global warming are not accurate, it's a pity so many sceptics and deniers inhabit this forum but I imagine the US media has a lot to do with this (as well as your education system). I'm on a ferry on the Tasman strait and can't be bothered producing all the academic references. But even the 'skeptic' scientists who were employed by the corporate PR companies have jumped ship -- the evidence is now overwhelming. Hopefully, a few more super-storms will hit the east coast, wake you from your insular torpor. But loving the new, aggressive JorgeStolfi. As for the market....well, I can see some choppy water ahead: volume seems low, the bid order sum is reducing and I have no idea how we managed to breach 700 but I can't see that happening again until the constant flow of negative sentiment recedes. No. There have been now two separate events where climate scientists have been busted doctoring data. Their warming models have failed repeatedly. You have no way to prove that current storms have anything to do with any sort of warming event. We just had one of the coldest summers and winters on record. The recent expedition by the global warmers were stuck in record ice caps as they attempted to document the shrinking ice caps. |

Rpietila, I am keen to hear what your predictions are for the next week or so ?
I cannot predict such short timespans. The biggest market mover is the people who thought they had bitcoins in Mt.Gox. When they replace (which I believe is going on), the price can rise a lot. We are talking about 100,000s of coins of extra demand. That seems to be a pretty wimpy explanation... NO HATING... but it remains fairly unclear the extent that Mt. Gox coinholders are going to replace their coins, though possibly, they may replace a fraction of their coins - if they have fiat to accomplish such replacement. There seems to be a lot more going on in the bitcoin sphere that will be driving up demand for bitcoin, besides the potential replacement of GOX coins. First is that we have a greater clarification of the GOX situation and Second, there has been a lot of BTC network building over the last several months - creating a sort of pent up demand... - fiat waiting on the sidelines b/c of China in December and January and then GOX in February. In other words, we are likely bound for choo choo territory... first to the 800 to 1000 arena within the next week or two, and then maybe after lingering in the 800-1000 arena for a few months later, with the next 3 months or so the $1500 plus arena.... I think we might top out at $800 and then drop down once more to the $500 level before a long upward trend to an ATH. |

Anyone else think that maybe SR2 and Gox were somehow tied together, and when SR2 announced that their coins had been stolen, it was only because they had inside information that Gox had 'lost' all of their coins? So when Gox went down, SR2 did too? Seems a little fishy that they would both claim theft by malleability at roughly the same time, but it didn't affect anyone else. Maybe MK owned them both.
Or when Gox announced - "We are not involved with Silk Road...." |

Oh. Hahaha. Didn't know there was a set time. |

This is why you can rest assured there is no 21 million Bitcoin cap on BTC. People buy; the coins get stolen from them and dumped in the market for the victims to rebuy ad infinitum. What? No. |

So it seems that the rally was antecipation for the Bloomberg thing, then?
And Bloomberg doesn't seem to be saying a peep about it. |

If it won't turn out that BTC-E goxed my coins, then it seems that they actually did me a favor for stopping me from buying in  And Gox may still have many of the coins - rumor is that the gooberment confiscated them. LOL, how do you state such a BIG FACT (or rumor) in such a "small" way?? Is it a fact? I didn't want to make too big of a deal out of it. I've heard that Karpeles & Co. may be under a gag order. Not to make excuses for the problems Gox had. |
