Congratulations.

You still have to pay your own legal fees even if found not guilty? That's... medieval.

Another extra-early, farmers' hours good morning Bitcoinland.

Got up to answer the call of nature, gassed up the generator in anticipation of a Monday morning dip and see it already happened.

You're off the grid?

give up. mongolian monster farms will dump at any price to wipe out competition. their break even is around 160, thats where we're heading. l

They can dump 3600 new BTC per day.

What about demographics? If you're taking a loan to buy real estate, you have to take a long view on ROI. For example, where I live the population is aging - 20 years from now the baby boomers will have mostly passed away, and the younger generations are smaller. Roughly speaking, the actuarial tables show that  by then, there will be about 500,000 people aged 18 or more less than now - in a country of 5,5 million. And the baby boomers own real estate which will be coming to market when they no longer need a place to live. This doesn't account for immigration, to be fair.

How's the age structure in NL? Would a big city like Amsterdam continue to grow even if other areas did not?

So that bidside stairway seems to have disappeared on Bitfinex. Used to buy at  market or simply pulled?

Holy mother of god! What happened while I was sleeping?  I haven't seen a sudden spike like that since the olden days. What's going on, insider knowledge? Is there going to be some big news soon?

Nothing happend.
Someone pumped LTC with a ponzi to 8$ and traded all LTC for BTC.

Increased demand for BTC short term.

Just basic trading rules.

Makes little sense. Like Elwar said:

The Litecoin market is not big enough to push Bitcoin up $15 by dropping Litecoin by $2.

LTC dumping...

Curses, I took a small short today (unusually for me) on LTCBTC @ 0.031-ish, but got stopped out before the dump. Tough market!

This is a fucking FALSE FLAG BULLSHIT FROM THE GOVERNMENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. WATCH CNN RIGHT NOW AND THEY WILL START  SAYING NYSE WAS HACKED BY TONIGHT OR TOMORROW MORNING. IM CALLING IT RIGHT NOW.


They are GOING TO USE THIS TO TAKE MORE POWER FROM US. ISSUE NEW INTERNET CONTROL BILLS AND SUCH

And if they instead insist NYSE wasn't hacked, it's an obvious coverup to protect the 1% from having their infrastructure scrutinized (or something). Right?

Not exactly related to Bitcoin, but... what's happening here?

https://twitter.com/MarketWatch/status/618807005134909440

Was wondering the same - Bloomberg thought it important enough to put up an article with only the headline "NYSE suspends trading in all securities" and no text besides "story developing..."

So, how about that bid stairway on Bitfinex? It looks like most of the bid side is still controlled by one player, but the price is now about 20 USD higher than when they first appeared.

It certainly doesn't seem like this is someone panicing to buy.
331  Economy / Economics / Re: Greek on-line merchants? on: July 06, 2015, 07:03:07 PM

I doubt the domestic online retailers are doing that poorly, I believe the restriction on online payments was to international destinations. Greece retailers should focus on international sales, that country needs to import money as fast as it can.

I only have what informaion is available from the press, but weren't there reports of gas stations etc. refusing credit cards, only taking cash? It would make sense since getting paid in Greek bank IOUs comes with a very real risk of a haircut soon.

BTC-e 269.77
 Huobi 279.92
Roll Eyes



Insufficient USD supply on BTC-E?
333  Economy / Economics / Greek on-line merchants? on: July 06, 2015, 06:27:37 AM
How are Greek webstores etc. handling payments now that capital controls are in place? I'd imagine it has to be a problem for merchants serving the domestic market as well as those with foreign customers. It's my understanding Greeks don't shop online nearly as much as other Europeans, but this still seems like a niche where Bitcoin could genuinely be useful as a payment method.

Varoufakis resigns as finance minister Huh

only if it was voted with "yes", but it's voted with "no".

He just resigned anyways, due to not being very popular at the negotiation table.

336  Economy / Speculation / Re: How to cash out 500k euro? on: July 04, 2015, 11:18:35 AM

Earnings from trading and saving are not taxed in the Netherlands. We only pay 1,2% tax once per year over our total combined savings. So I can sell any amount of bitcoin for euros and no one cares at my bank. They happily accept my money actually. I'm not supposed to pay any tax over my trades.


Good for you, OP is in Belgium though,
337  Economy / Speculation / Re: How to cash out 500k euro? on: July 04, 2015, 07:24:24 AM
So the idea is to put 500,000 € worth of taxable income in your bank account and not pay taxes on it? Sounds like a bad idea to me. You're posting on a public forum, asking for advice on how to break the law in a big way. That sounds like a bad idea as well.
338  Economy / Speculation / Re: How to cash out 500k euro? on: July 03, 2015, 02:44:26 PM
Talk to your bank. It may not be a problem.

Re:Nubits, I'm sure this is a newbie question, but who guarantees liquidity? I don't see how a peg like that could be accomplished without counterparty risk.
339  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: July 02, 2015, 10:47:17 AM
Seems the first attack on the 265-70 resistance failed. But the price is holding pretty good so far. Let's see if 250 can be held, then the prospects for July are great ...

Nevertheless, I voted for a July top of less than 300. I think it will reach again the levels of about 270, and maybe a little higher, but not much more. Black swan events not taken into account Wink

The Mt Gox court case will conclude sometime and either the Bitcoins get returned or the court orders them to be sold so cash can be returned instead. I doubt it will be over by the end of July but if the court orders a crazy dump it will crash the price. I think they have some rule in Japan that you have to sell an asset and return cash.

You think a court is going to order the coins to be sold on some sketchy exchange? An auction seems more likely.

Now prices are below 260 even on Bitcoin average Sad

We were supposed to be around 300 right now, what happened?

Zoom out a bit on the charts. Look at, say, the last 30 days or even 6 months. This is just noise.
