Steep climb up on almost no volume without ask side replenishing. lordy, the next crash gonna be epic.

I wonder if it gets tired of being all like "If it's going up, it's going to crash but if it's going down I told you so."

Seems like an excellent time to pick up BTC and move off Gox, unless I'm really missing something...

Either way, nice to see some action again for a change.

Any time in the last YEAR has been an excellent time to move off gox.

I would say that litecoins are worth even less now.

But how can something be worth less than nothing. It boggles the mind.

Nice site https://www.bitcoinshop.us/
Bitcoin need more site like this one


There already is a "bitcoin amazon": https://www.bitcoinstore.com/



I like bitcoinstore and have bought more than a few things from them, but they only have electronics (which is fine).  Bitcoinshop seems to aim to have a much larger range of items.

Though both sites still have a less than stellar search filter.

@OP

WTF with the self-moderated topic ?
Is this an advertisement or what ?

@Mods

I think that self-moderated topics should not be allowed in "Press" section.


In all honesty, I don't know why. I must of somehow managed to click it on accident.

After two days you're bored and ready to give up?

Woulda hate to seen how you handled all of 2012.

We should all do our holiday shopping on this site.  Smiley  It looks great.  I like the free shipping too.

Quoted for brilliance.

Luckily, I also don't believe in THEY.  

The majority your flock does though.

I am quiet unlike a lot of the "true believers".  I don't think fiat will crash, I don't think the omgpolicestateisreadingmymind is a valid point of view, I don't have any real expectations that 1btc=1oz gold.  My prediction for 2013 was a high of $16.

I'm just tryin' to say that I don't really have a flock here Cheesy

It is not the sign of a healthy market IMO, but it's what we've got, so I ain't complaining , just saying
When the market is so obviously dominated by the whims of big players, the risk to smaller ones increases to the extent that I am sure many are just not trading

We're transitioning into the post-Gox era.  There is some worry and confusion on where one can safely trade and store bitcoin which is reflected in the lower volume.  The risk to smaller traders isn't necessarily a quick price change to their detriment, but rather the risk of not being able to access their coins/fiat at any given moment  Also, the the increase in ways to buy and spend coin that aren't Gox and other trading services is increasing as well which is reflected in the lower volume.

My basis for the above statement is that the reputation and positive press, which always seemed to be one of the best indicator of prices before, still feel pretty positive to me.  There are also some major developments for BTC coming down the pipeline.  These facts don't seem to be represented in the volume on the current main exchanges, thus my hypothesis.

WEEEE!

We are listening that sentence for a long time and I still can not see anything getting traction.

Guess it depends on your definition of traction.  Again, when I look at the reputation, positive press, developments in BTC, I see lots of traction.  There's been a LOT of deadends, I know. Trust me, i do know.  And we do have a long ways to go.

You true believers even see positive press when THEY are really out to get to you.

Luckily, I also don't believe in THEY.

From day to day things don't seem like they change.  When I think about to 2012 or 2011 I can say we have come a long way.

Are you trying to say that your ability to link random graphs is at the "we've reached a permanent plateau" phase?

What?

Don't ask me. You're the one that linked to it.

ooh ... whale showing a fin again  Cheesy

When did this obsession with the Whale God start? It's like, any time anything happens it's "because whale!" Some of you sound like you'd sacrifice children on an alter of fiat money if someone told you it would make the Whale Gods happy.

We don't need no stinkin' whales.

It's because during this rally thats how it works


whale buys -> price oscilates around 2-3 USD from end of whale buy until whale sells or whale buys.

Exactly. Whales decide the price. If it were  down to the average Joe, take a guess where we'd be.

Hint: a lot lot lower

I disagree. The price would be much higher if it wasn't for attempts at manipulation by large holders.

What happens after 151? Something. Something will most certainly happen.

You can quote me on this after the event. I have a 100% accurate track record.

Today you are in bad mood. Did you sold all ?

Never sell. Buy and hold/spend Tongue Always been my motto.

But it's true. Something will happen.
337  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin is slowly shit. on: September 12, 2013, 09:03:46 PM
Pretty lame if you ask me - especially when bitcoin touts itself as being "free of transaction fees". Sooo, you don't have to pay a fee, but it will take over a day for confirmation - gay.

I'm definitely holding onto my litecoins.

You do understand LTC uses the same model.  If you have a low priority tx and don't pay a fee the tx might not be relayed.  Even if it is relayed if LTC ever has anywhere near the volume that BTC does miners will prioritize tx based on fees with predictable results.

If he understood what LTC is he wouldn't be using it Cheesy

btc will easily touch 1000 by entering oldschool porn and gambling industries.

Just need to quote this for the pun-larity.

One of the most common complaints about Bitcoin, the encrypted, digital currency that isn't controlled by any bank or country, is that you can't use it to buy anything practical. Alpaca wool socks? Come on, now.

Entrepreneurs Michal Handerhan and Tim Sidie have started BitcoinShop.us in order to solve this problem. Their site is probably best described as "Amazon, but with Bitcoin."

There's 55,000 items for sale across all categories – books, electronics, sporting goods, even toys. It's all available here for purchase, via Bitcoin.
