So, I just woke up. Did I miss anything?
I see the price is down 1% from yesterday. Is Bitcoin done?

When are you getting back home safely ?
I am home  I sold my house in the US last year. I'm an expat. The world is my home. I have a price point that I am working toward, when I hit that number (or the bitcoin price hits that number) I will book a flight and leave. Probably go live in Asia or French Polynesia. (I am planning on staying out here for 2 more years) |

If you own one bitcoin you are in the top 68% richest people in the world. If you have 100 bitcoins you are one of the top 8% richest people in the world. 600 bitcoins and you're a one percenter. http://www.globalrichlist.com/wealthHow did you calculate it Elwar ? Could you show us a screenshot please ? Thank you There's a calculator on the website I linked to. Grrrr, I know man that there is a calculator in that website  I don't know how you made the above conclusions from that website, I want to know the methodology, that's it my dear brother I just took the price of 1 bitcoin and put that amount in the calculator on the website. It gave the percentage. Then I took the price of 100 and plugged it in. Then I plugged in different numbers until I found out what the top 1% had. Then I divided by the bitcoin price. At $1241 for one bitcoin that would put you in the top 66% richest people in the world. |

Really impressive, Elwar! Also, wtf do you do for a living? Working for the government in a box in a war zone?  Nice. Not so exciting. My office looks more like this:  (not my actual work site) I do computer things. In Afghanistan. |

Anyone's life savings depending on this decision?  My life savings is in bitcoins but that is nothing new. An approval pushing the price up over $3k would mean I would retire sooner rather than later. A rejection means a few more years of buying many more bitcoins. Not retire in the sense of no longer working...just working on something I want instead of living in a war zone working in a box. Sheet we are alike. but i exit when it's wild, and jump in when there's movement. margin trading is gambling I wouldn't know what to exit into. I certainly do not want to buy dollars. How much longer can that ponzi scheme go on? |

Why does everyone think you only need skills on the Internet to make money?
Can you wash dishes? Can you scrub floors? That's a way to make bitcoins also. I would hope most people know how to do such things.

Being the government and it being a Friday, I would expect the announcement to be before 4PM EST.
Look at you. Conspiratorial. Not a conspiracy. I just work for the government and know that usually on a Friday people take off early. Woops... I had to edit my previous post because I meant to refer to your comment about the DDOS attack, but instead I clicked on the wrong post... This point about the government saying something before 4pm, makes sense... but the DDOS attack seems a lot less likely to occur (even though it could happen, to me it seems a bit of a stretch of a speculation) Yes. But a centralized platform in the Bitcoin world is certainly vulnerable. Someone might do it just for the lolz. |

The thing is if it gets approved, none of us are selling. if it gets rejected are you selling?
market will temporarily drop but then proceed with going up. Japan will have an ETF i assume soon as they aceept it as a form of payment now.
I think it's more the fact that if it is approved, more people will be buying. The reality is that many of those people that actually have bitcoins will sell if the price jumps up a lot. Someone has to supply bitcoins to the Wall Street folks. |

Sorry for the "off" but what's new about the china exchanges withdrawal issue?
Didn't they halted transactions until yesterday only?
That was extended. No specific extension date though. That's why the price was down about $100 the past few days. |

"You're doing signature campaigns, you must be unemployed."
More like the many people who say "I have no skills or knowledge so signature campaigns are the only way I can get bitcoins". I wonder how these people survive day to day. Or how they survived before bitcointalk. |

A possible scenario is that someone found out the ETF was going to be denied.
They bought a shitload of bitcoins to drive the price up to $1350 then shorted the shit out of it driving it down to $1180. This resulted in a bunch of people assuming the ETF was approved which drove the price up.

Maybe the IT guy told to input the announcement onto the SEC website  |
