Joel. you're wasting your time trying to pass any knowledge to these guys. I tried yesterday. I gave up.

Inc. "ignorant American" slander.

well done

lol I just imagine some old noob with 1.7 million dollars trying to figure out how to use mtgox.  He probably called up geek squad to help him.

Calm down please.

Don't get emotional.

well this is obviously not the best way to acquire 1 million dollars worth of bitcoins.

I have no clue what is going on.

Don't let this wall manipulate you.

This guy obviously has no intention of actually purchasing the coins.

why would someone show their cards in this fashion?

I'm so confused right now.

Would the owner of this wall please PM me?

I have a few propositions for you.

well. someone beat me to it.

bold move.

i think this guy has no intention of actually purchasing coins though.

160k btc bid wall is just obnoxious.

lol. I'm not a "reputable forum member" though.

Ok, what would you compare it with then?

when has there ever been a fire fueled by enough jet fuel for a flight from coast to coast?  The fire was clearly out of control and cannot be compared to any other fire.

I'm done arguing about this. It has been discussed way too many times. I'm surprised there are people that still believe in the explosions theory lol. It's been 11 years and there are still people this ignorant.

...

technically the towers did withstand the crash of the planes. The fire is what caused them to collapse. The impact of the plane had nothing to do with it.  Even if no plane hit the buildings, they would still collapse if a fire of that size was allowed to burn for that long.

I understand the theories of how 9/11 could be an inside job. But, the theories about explosives being planted in the buildings just make me facepalm.

who says the beams have to melt to collapse?

The whole explosives theory is complete bullshit.

5.5k btc slippage.  not bad.

grats! well done

lol i knew this was coming.

No, my whole reason for asking this is because that whole extortion hoax got me thinking about what I would do in this hypothetical situation.

Keep in mind it could also be someone who wants the tax returns to be released.  

Or maybe Romney would pay the "release" address just to call the hackers bluff to patch things up politically.

Also, this would make the Democrats look stupid because people would assume that it was the Democratic party that paid the release address only to fall for a hoax.

It could be a good move for Romney to pay the release address if the secret service determined it is indeed a hoax.

yea, that's what i meant by "spark a panic."

I guess I should have been more specific.

I meant a panic rally. Where speculators start to panic buy.

I'm not sure this would be the smartest option because it might cause another bubble.

Pretend like someone gave you 1 million dollars and told you to buy bitcoins with it in less than a months time. How would you go about doing this? Would you buy them all in one big market order in hopes to spark a panic? Would you accumulate the coins slowly throughout the month? Would you use a bot? Would you set up bid walls? Would you even use mtgox? If not, who would you contact to purchase coins from without using the exchange and what price would you offer to buy them at?

the first step should be to file a complaint imo.  The sooner the better. Let them do their job.
