Good morning Bitcoinland.
Still moving sideways with a slight upward creep.
This is good.
How long can this  be considered "a slight upward creep?" |

were beanie babies ever recognised as significantly valuable outside of the US?
I'm french and I had never heard of the beanie babies before coming to this forum. >not heard of BTCeanies >french That's why you've been losing cultural significance since the turn of the last century  |

On the beanie babies:
were beanie babies ever recognised as significantly valuable outside of the US? Or tulips outside of the Netherlands for that matter?
Seems like Bitcoin is recognised by at least like-minded people everywhere in the World. This is a clear indication that the motives behind toy adoption and crypto adoption are not exactly comparable. Right?
Sorry for responding to someone who most of you probably think is a troll but we lack a bit quality bears. :p
Duh! Of course BTCeanie BTCabies were, and are, recognised as significantly valuable the world over. As we speak, shadowy banking cabals are secretly accumulating BTCeanies in a sinister ploy to control the world's BTCeanie supply. No different from what they're doing with our Bitcoin. Ignore the banksters' mass media lapdogs and popular press provocateurs--First they ignore us, then they laugh at us, then they fight us, then we win! *You must be new here... |

^There was a time in the past when Bitcoin prices skyrocketed. There was a time when BTCeanie BTCaby prices skyrocketed. That time is over. Why is this so difficult for some to understand? Artificial scarcity is a marketing gimmick used by both Ty Co. and Bitcoin. That gimmick works on the less-educated for a while, until it doesn't.   |

A dollar in 1980's used to go a lot farther than a dollar today. Bitcoin has built in mechanisms to prevent this from happening. That is the beauty.
Since your chosen date of 1980 [34 years ago], the USD has depreciated approximately as much as BTC has in just one year [one year, YTD]. That is the beauty.  |

LOL, okay Citi says the coins are going to go for a steep discount, must sell all my coins, after all they are bitcoin experts  Which thought is correct? (a) They should go for somewhat of a discount because it's an auction, and they are buying in bulk. OR (b) They should go for a bit over the current price because one couldn't simply buy that large amount of coins regularly without causing major slippage. (c) They should keep doing what they're doing: Politely stifling their laughter. *No one has answered my culinary question. |

To the uneducable few who are stubbornly holding the bag: I won't abandon you, gentlemen, in your dark hour of need. I feel somehow responsible for you hapless but loveable finance enthusiasts. Rest assured, your meals shall be taken care of when you finally [and inevitably] end up in the gutter. Quick question: I'm personally preparing Humble Pie Crow Surprise for your first [and only] course, am I doin' it right?  |

I have a funny feeling Citi and the other "prospective bidders" are selling the story of bidding on the coins at a great discount in order to get the other bidder to low-ball the bid so they can get their coins at or just under market price.
No bidder would willingly show their hand, seems like a classic poker bluff to me.
Yeah, everyone's just dying to get at your precious BTCeanie BTCabies Bitcoin |

... I'm happy the gov won't get much for their stolen coins.
Not this time, but the model is scalable & sustainable. 1. You spend coin on CloneRoad. 2. Gubermint "steals" coin. 3. Sells it back 2 U. 4. PROFIT. 5. GOTO 1. *Good morning, gentlemen. |

... I am back from India. I returned a couple weeks ago. I have been avoiding the boards because I am a bit depressed. Husband sold some coins while I was gone. ... Faith in God restored!!1! Hey, whatever it takes! If that was the outcome it was well worth it! Enjoy watching a Christian money changer get her beloved shekels taken from her, won't lie The Lord gives and the Lord takes away, but blessed be the name of the Lord. ... Yes He does and He sure is, sister BitChick! But who do you suppose made you lose your family's money? Could it be...  |

I am pretty sure everyone thought the coins would sell for significantly less than market price last time too but we all know that didn't happen.
Why would anyone have thought that? Because they're smarter than a fruit fly? But it doesn't make sense, if they were going to sell them below market, why not just sell them at market. The coins were sold at a government auction--that's how the US government liquidates this sort of stuff. Bitcoin, shit speedboats that couldn't get up on plane because runner too greedy and overloaded them--check out US Marshals auctions. Everything fetches premium, because prestige *Other than the begging "Why would anyone sell anything at an auction," selling a large chunk of coin on an exchange causes slippage. |

MtGOX: Report on the 2nd meeting of former clients with the bankruptcy trustee Kobayashi: http://www.mtgoxprotest.com/Some highlights: * Kobayashi is trying to recover 13 M USD that Mark took from MtGOX for services, loans etc -- but he is resisting. * The auditing firm concluded that the MtGOX database has been adulterated, and they don't know what to do. * Kraken paid 300'000 USD to Kobayashi (not the other way around) to have a role in the investigations. Ah, teh intoxicating intrigue of international finance My name is Kobayashi. I work for Keyser Soze. |
