No kidding.

Pretty hard for them to buy the worldwide open-source community though.

I haven't used Opera since the days of Win95 but I liked it back then.

I don't trust anything from an American corporation since they all were taken over by Prism.

When I can't use Win7 any more, I guess I'll have to choose a Linux distro.

I'm surprised more people didn't stop to ask themselves why Microsoft was so eager to shove Win10 down everyone's throat.

Not only were they giving away their flagship product for free, they made it hard to avoid it. Around the same time they also started giving their #2 product MS Office away too.

Makes you wonder where their revenues are coming from.

It's not just MS. Apple and Google are just as bad, if not worse.

For Bitcoin to be hacked, the entire banking system could be hacked (not to mention the military). They use the same encryption.

Why would the hackers go after Bitcoin's billions and leave the banks' trillions alone?

If someone can figure out an exploit to hack either system, both will cease to have any meaning so it's a moot point.

I can't believe any Bitcoiner would use some sleazy corporate browser like Chrome or IE when there's an honest open-source option in Firefox.

Yep. In the last 2 weeks it popped all the way up to an ATH, then popped down in a lovely beartrap and popped right back back up to where it was 2 weeks ago.

Poppity pop. 

Good morning Bitcoinland and a very pleasant Boxing Day to all.

I see we've had a nice leg up past where we were before Friday's beartrap/panic... currently $15924USD/$20228CAD (Bitcoinaverage).

Old coins are up to $19238USD/$24442CAD (Coinmarketcap).

What nice little Xmas presents the weekend buying opportunity and quick recovery were.

Let's see if we can get an ATH before the new year.

Go Bitcoin go.

edit: back over $16k at Stamp

Good morning and a very merry Xmas to all in Bitcoinland, bulls and bears, big- and small-blockers, investors and traders alike.



Peace on earth and goodwill towards all humans.
_______

Not much change, still bouncing along in the $14k range... currently $14245USD/$18134CAD (Bitcoinaverage).

Old coins total $17531USD/$22317CAD each (Coinmarketcap).

Seems like we'll probably be going sideways in this range for a few more days before continuing on upward toward new highs.

This is a good thing. We could all use a nice holiday after the frantic excitement of December.

Eat, drink and be merry.

More like shaking out the lemmings.

LOL at the fools who sold. 

Aren't trolls freaking forking hilarious? 

You got it.

I try to avoid using the "ignore" button as many trolls and much FUD can be amusing.

I've only used it for really obnoxious, insulting trolls like Notlambchop and Matthecat.

I've come close with r0ach but he's such a laughable buffoon I've let him go despite his bigotry and the sheer number of his posts.  

It's nice to see a newbie who actually gets it.

Yesterday was indeed an excellent time to buy. It was our deepest dip of the year, barely surpassing the excellent buying opportunities in May and September.

It was a great time to take profits in Bitcoin by selling fiat while it was peaking.

Thanks bro. You're a champ.

If 03/01/2018 is still available I'll take it please.

Please stop spamming the forum by creating dozens of useless threads.

The old bladder alarm did it again.

No ATH nor buyable dip this time, just reaching $15k again so quickly after yesterday's correction/beartrap.

I hope everybody stocked up at the bargain basement prices.

Might I ask, "who sold at the bottom?"  

May I please call bullshit on this entire thread?

This dip is not the biggest nor steepest dip in Bitcoin's short history.

Many long-term holders will remember the afternoon (UTC) of April 10, 2013 when the price fell by over 60% in less than 7 hours.

That dip from $266 to $105 was just the start of a 2 day drop all the way to $54.24, a drop of almost 80%.

It was a gut-wrenching experience for many, but some of us gained solace from remembering the crash from the Great Bitcoin Bubble of 2011 and how we eventually surged on to newer highs, and steadfastly held on to our coins.

This was long before the word "hodl" had been drunkenly coined after the second 2013 bubble. Anyone who hadn't learned to hold by then is a fool.

OP, get your facts straight before spewing nonsense.

Good morning Bitcoinland.

I see I finally got my buying opportunity... currently $13252USD/$17019CAD (Bitcoinaverage).

It's a bloodbath all across cryptoland with Bitcoin suffering significantly less than most. As a result old coins are down to $15841USD/$20313CAD (Coinmarketcap).

Unfortunately my usual local ATM has gone crazy with insanely high buy fees and the nearest ATM with reasonable fees doesn't open for another 15 minutes.

Looks like I missed the bottom but this dip is still worth buying. I'd better get out and hail a cab so I can be there when they open their doors.

Good morning Bitcoinland.

I see we dipped back down to where we were yesterday... currently $15730USD/$20023CAD (Bitcoinaverage).

AltCash and AltGold are also down so old coins are only worth $19253USD/$24544CAD (Coinmarketcap).

Was this a double bottom? $15k seems to be holding nicely.

Unless buy fees at my nearest ATM come down, I'm still not buying. The dip's not deep enough yet.

Yawn.
