Anyone know?

Whats the Current Delay on MTGox USD bank wires?  Anyone know?

Also is it possible to somehow convert your funds to yen in mtgox and cash out that way?

Anyone know if Bitstamp and BTC-E allow funding via wires from US Bank accounts?  If so are there limits to how much?

I want to send bitcoin from my pc wallet to my mtgox account.  What is the usual delay before it shows in my account?

Whats the price of bitcoin have to do with delays selling at mtgoox?

What about delays in buying BTC at BTC-e.  From the time you put the buy order in at the sell price, to the time you are able to withdraw the BTC? Is There a delay here?

How about MTGox.  Is there a delay in depositing BTC into your account there?

Just trying to figure out what the average delays are.

Does anyone know the Average time it takes once you decide to buy Bitcoin at BTC-E to when you are able to move the BTC to your personal BTC address?  Is there usually a delay with these things, or is it within minutes?

This is so off topic, but are any of you guys involved in 3D Printing at all?  I ask because most of you are very tech savvy.  I just got a makerbot Replicator last week, and am loving it.  What do you guys think the future holds for 3D Printing. On a separate note, this metal gun was just 3d Printed yesterday.  Pretty crazy! http://3dprintboard.com/showthread.php?439-First-True-Working-Metal-Gun-3D-Printed!

Anybody think that this recent spike in bitcoin could be this new trust buying it up... along with other things of course.

I think sometime in 2015 we will see the first major corporation start using btc.  Amazon or Paypal.  Paypal is already hinting at it.

This is more awesome news for Bitcoin.  Pozible.com, one of the more popular rewards based crowdfunding sites, particularly in Australia has announced today that they will begin accepting Bitcoin as a means of funding:

Do you guys think this is a trend?  Will the even bigger platforms like Kickstarter and indiegogo turn to Bitcoin soon as well?

This may just take bitcoin to the mainstream.  Secondmarket has announced a Bitcoin investment trust to invest in Bitcoin:

As you may be aware, today's news: http://www.talkgold.com/forum/r398092-.html

Do you think this is going too far?  Will other States follow in their footsteps.  On one hand I do think that the whole drug issues around Bitcoin may be hurting those using it legitimately.

Interesting that one of the biggest schools for startups has an entire class which will ask students to create a bitcoin operated crowdfunding platform:

There are a ton of changes happening in the financial sectors of the world.  This could be a great opportunity for Bitcoin to really make a huge impact, especially combining it with Crowdfunding:

Yeah I agree, however there are very lucrative investments out there that are extremely risky.  If you have an investment that pay 200% annually but only works out 50% of the time it's still an investment, just a very risky one.

What's your opinion?  Is this thing legit?

Well it appears that Liberty Reserve is now done.  This would be an excellent time to see Bitcoin step in an fill their gap.  That's a $200 million gap!

I think it will happen, however first Bitcoin needs to become more widespread, and then equity crowdfunding needs to be legalized in the United states.  When those two things happen, watch out!

I totally agree that Bitcoin could really be a boon for Crowdfunding.  Also, there are 2 platforms in the crowdfunding niche which already take solely bitcoin, so it's not a new concept I guess.
