The exchange isnt even open yet ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Edit: I was just reading a pro bitcoin price-waterhouse-coopers report to UK government about bitcoin. Don't worry lambtroll your audience hasn't left you.

Price bounces $7 on the news. Bulls lose their shit and post flaming trains ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) Last night you lost your shit posting a fairy picture pointing at a 4 dollar price drop. Lol.

big middle finger to all them "you got stamped/this is gox all over again/they will run with your money" sayers
kudos to bitstamp.
well done.
You took the words right out of my mouth.. The speculation on here is beyond idiotic sometimes.... As if a 5 million dollar hack on a business running successfully for five years is going to stop one of the worlds biggest exchanges - especially when the owners have squirrelled away 25 million dollars and they have been funded another 10 million by VC's. It is going to take some serious FUD to throw us lower IMO. Who knows what will happen next but this could be the turning point of the year. Edit: Oh and there are still over 24,000 short swaps on finex.

We are you bears and trolls ?
Anxiously glued to the screen hoping the price will retrace back down lol.

Meanwhile, some serious bid walls have been built. Wonder if they all disappear if stamp doesn't go online in the next 4 hours or so... Even with a large team of experienced developers, It's a lot of work to rebuild an entire financial system in under a week. But hey, they are the ones who gave their own ETA! This is going to be an interesting day. Coffee machines must be cranking hard at Bitstamp's office. Yes, they should probably have bit the bullet and told straight away that this would take some time. People need to sleep, people make mistakes. It is sort of important that they've done it right when they are online again. It is difficult to win with bear logic on here. Not opening instantly - they are insolvent, sell sell sell, now they are opening after a trivial delay - they cannot possibly be secure and safe in this timeframe, sell sell sell!

If anyone believes that rampant and unchecked criminality in a marketplace
inspires confidence in what is being traded there
have fun buying as long as you last.
If anyone actually believes that it's possible to have a free market without people trying to exploit it have fun living in this unfair world. Guys guys i thought we all agreed to sit in circles and sing Kumbaya. So who took my sandwich out of the fridge? Well, usually free markets have law enforcement and criminals can face consequences. This gives traders confidence in the integrity of the markets. But this is totally absent from the bitcoin market which is one of the main reasons why bitcoin has no volume and keeps tanking. Presenting opinion as fact is great isnt it! ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

Or maybe they don't want the price to fall and that's why they wait until the banks are closed. People who want to withdraw their funds from the exchange fast will buy bitcoin because fiat wouldn't get transferred until Monday. Very interesting idea. Edit: they should probably open their books to an auditing firm and publish the results to confirm they are solvent prior to opening. Whilst in light of gox it is normal to be concerned nothing stamp have done after this criminal theft has been concerning. Not everyone is a screeching bear dreaming of an exodus and price crash.

No it hasn't. CHOW CHOW I want my money! He didn't accept your terms, you can't just decide on the terms unilaterally and then expect to be paid. By the way the price did go over $300 shortly depending on which exchange or which average you look at. Shut up fool, it was clearly stated that the price is the price on coinmarketcap. And the $300 wasn't reached on coinmarketcap. He stated that the price will be and STAY at $300 by friday. And I can decide what I want and I want my money - CHOW CHOW! Stop being such a retard. Show me where in this thread Chow Chow agreed to your terms and confirmed the bet with you? He also clearly stated that the price would go over $300 before Friday, that doesn't mean the price had to still be over 300 on Friday. You can decide what you want but not what you deserve, and you deserve nothing. This clown is sockpuppet account of CHOW CHOW. CHOW CHOW the biatch owes me 1 BTC and I want it now! He agreed to terms of bet because he did not reply in this thread. EDIT: The price of $300 was never reached by today 12:00am on coinmarketcap - so shut your trap and give me my 1 BTC! Did he confirm the bet by PM, or have you just decided that the bet was taken under your terms so you owed money? Your arguement is even stupider it can be argued that you lost! He wanted to bet that it would bo above $300 before friday. It was at one time over $300. You should pay him his 1BTC. I agree, Chow won the bet pay up. Seems reasonable.

I think we'll be over $300 before Friday.
Anyone want to bet me 1 BTC?
I am in! I bet you 1BTC that the BTC price will be =< $299 by Friday 9th January 2015 12:00am West European time. We will take Coinmarketcap BTC Price as a reference. Do we have a bet? You owe me 1 BTC. When can I expect payment? CHOW CHOW I want my 1 BTC right away. Did the price not touch 300? ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) see? one keyboard warrior detected ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) he is now quibbling with you that "I think we'll be over $300 before Friday." == "touch $300 before Friday" Excellent. I havent looked but has the price in fact been 'over 300 before Friday'?

You could argue though that as the prices rise it causes these already existing entities to increase in power, so that is "bad" too. (Unless you think the distribution was already "fair", but in that case, why would the second time around be any different?) Really, the best thing is the rollercoaster, where people are being shaken around all the time and coins are getting flung everywhere ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) Top 500 addresses are increasing in coins not decreasing. I agree distribution is a problem, but the major coin holders probably control the price to a greater degree than anyone knows.

Where are the bears now? Lol. Usual scaremongering. Anything to get the price lower. Sad ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

Analyzing past data is IMO important for the interpretation of current data.
Almost sounds like using the past to predict the future ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

obviously nobody is interested in previous support which is now resistance ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) We can all see the charts. The only reason the price is 284 today and not 295 or higher is a single dump on finex of 2000 coins to paint the chart. In such a thin market what was resistance can become a margin call in less than a minute from a single trader.

OP (troll) cites a deadcat bounce and predicts doom.
Someone posts a chart clearly showing no evidence of a deadcat bounce whatsoever - labeled a troll by the actual troll. Other newbie troll accounts flock to thread and predict doom.
This place lol. It is worse than yahoo.

No, you try to get people to sell. Plonker.

... Surely there must be more to life than spending you're entire time on a forum of something you utterly hate and have zero (positive) interest in?...
I find Bitcoiner antics delightful, there's no room for hate in my heart--it is two sizes too small ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) You would have to pay a lot of money to always have the price of coffee on my screen and have me write dozens of posts a day on a coffee forum. Just wondering what your incentives are? Observing you Bitcoiners is much funnier than watching the price of coffee. Stop selling yourself short. You own bitcoin. You have money on at least one bitcoin exchange. You have posted more than 5000 times in 9 months from one acct and have several other active alts. I think it is fair to say you ARE a bitcoiner. ![Huh](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/huh.gif)

Traders are waiting for bitstamp's next move. If they are buying back lost coins, traders do not want to be caught shorting. If they are going insolvent, they will sell all they have. It's the silence before the storm.
BTC swaps (shorts) are at all time highs. But other than that I agree.
