Adam, any reason you are deleting random ChartBuddy posts? Just curious.
thread manipulation... Right-o. Just wanted to be sure it wasn't invalid images as the bitcointalk image proxy sometimes gives that even when an image is valid and it goes away after a couple of minutes. |

Has anyone else here ever tried to buy something on Alibada? All I ever get is a list of wholesalers.
That's what I was thinking. Maybe they're going to go legit. |

Finally we got some cheap coins!
you've already bought ? I am going to wait a couple of weeks more, hopefully we will see $100-250  Bottom is today. Once alibaba's ipo is done and quick profit is made, big money is going to come back into bitcoin. This is absurd. I expect max. 0,0001% from all Bitcoin holders are shuffling their money between BTC and Alibaba stocks. There is no correlation at all. Ethereum/ppc/ripple is more likely. But i think Bitcoin is mainly going down because people are selling. But thatīs just a theory. yes, Alibaba explanation is utter shit... a took a look at the Bitcoin magazine article and this is what I saw in the comment section:    |

Ah well, if that is the case so be it... democracy in action, as in an actual real choice, that would lead to actual something of meaning happening in life/society, not just an illusion, so if they choose no, then so be it... if they choose yes... then war  I mean so be it too. It is good to see some actual democracy in action, that has actual real world ramifications. I said before and I will say it again... my brain tells me the vote will be NO, but my heart and my gut is not so sure though... either way I think it is going to be close. Will Scotland cut their noose loose? not long to find out now! The rest of the Union should have a say too. It's all very well for Scotland to vote but what if the rest of the union doesn't want them? |

Yeah, I noticed that as well after I posted it It was a combination with GIMP. I did the "buy" in inkscape because I don't know how to do the hollow text in Gimp. Cropping and insertion of bitcoin address was done in Gimp. Both great programs. Something along the lines of text-to-selection, grow selection, fill selection. sounds cumbersome. easier to do the qr-code-insertion in inkscape as well if use of a single tool is the goal, I'd say. Not really. I've mostly used it for userbars where you want to get the font just right and Inkscape wouldn't do that well (don't get me wrong, I think Inkscape's great). The QR code is already a bitmap too so no complexity there. |

Bitcoin will go back up. This is just a test of our patience. It is always darkest before the dawn so they say.
And the moon looks so much brighter at night. Not a new moon. Or if it hasn't risen. |

life is SHIT without money!!!!!!!!!!
Anyone with skills and ambition will not be without money for long. Those who rely on luck for their money won't be keeping it long anyway. |

Alex Salmond said bitcoin could be Scotland new currency. I'm wondering if this btc hammering is meant to discourage the divorce from sterling just in case "Yes" wins. Just a random tought, but must say timing is perfect
Let's be serious for a moment. No sane Scot is giving any thought to making Bitcoin the official currency. So you're saying it could happen? |

Just kidding. Feel free to donate to me for the effort  This is the real recovered QR code. It's not a bitcoin address. My android app translates it to a number: 13501619 And there are currently 13,280,425 Bitcoins. These numbers are suspiciously close. I think Jorge knows something. |

Graphically:  I'm way too geeky. My first thought was that that QR code is invalid. |

...most of you here don't spend any time studying all technical and ideological aspects of Bitcoin and think that Bitcoin survival is related to its price only, which is very wrong... there is more to Bitcoin than its price.
^that. lol..of course there's more to bitcoin than it's price. But..at a marketcap or a few billion it's potential to do many things that it would otherwise excel at is severely diminished. Bitcoin's utility increases dramatically with price. This is true. I keep hearing comments about Scotland should adopt Bitcoin. Whilst that's not likely in any case, it's just plain logistically unrealistic even with the price an order of magnitude above what it is currently. |

Time to put the paper wallets in the drawer next to the confederate currency   |

This story is noteworthy, because the merchant chose to just use its own wallet. It means they are confident they can get rid of the coins when needed, and have a plan for the accounting.
Either that or they're just high |

was hoping EBAY would step up to the plate on this....a guy in east Mongolia directly buying say a tool set or something w/o
the hassle of the above ..hoop jumping to get an ebay purchase w/o cc or bank..that is the kinda action we need
some real use transparent flow of merchandise to places where this has previously been very expensive or not possible
Perhaps bring back some Bitcoin faucets with geo-ip restrictions to get some flowing into those countries? Who has Bitcoins to spare these days though (other than dumpers) |

That's unfortunate situation. Perhaps, you invested too much. Still, if you have balls of steel, you should come out of this as a winner.
OTOH, TheCoziTwo had balls of steel... |

Also worth a read.... Interest is beginning to build, awareness is growing and the date of the national referendum has been set. Later this year, on November 30, the good people of Switzerland will finally get an opportunity to make their voices heard. The Swiss Gold Initiative can be roughly stated in three parts: 1) The halting of all Swiss gold sale 2) The repatriation of all Swiss gold that is held in foreign vaults 3) Resume backing the Swiss Franc with gold, at a minimum level of 20% Of course, the politicians and bankers of Switzerland are squarely against this initiative as it greatly diminishes their hold on power and restricts their ability to continue to debase the Franc. Fortunately, as one of the world's few remaining democracies, the Swiss people have an opportunity on November 30 to directly affect a change. For their sake and for the sake of their posterity, I pray that they choose wisely. FULL ARTICLE = http://www.tfmetalsreport.com/blog/6065/swiss-gold-initiativeAlso when it's found out that the US doesn't have the gold and Switzerland ain't getting it back, the people are going to be pretty upset. |

Hal Finney passed away a few weeks ago, perhaps whoever was given his coins needs the money right away or maybe doesn't believe in BTC's long term potential.
Perhaps Hal's illness prompted his selling in June just as BTC was beginning to rise. Perhap Hal is the reason that the price has been suppressed and the July burst did not occur.
Interesting. There's no doubt that on the way to mass adoption, some of the large-holding early adopters are going to end up parting with decent quantities of their stash one way or another. Hopefully there won't be too many like this. The walls and dumps do look a bit more like manipulation than a genuine sell-off to my eyes though. |
