1W MACD confirmed green 3D MA/EMA confirmed crossover Conclusion of falling wedge + confirmed breakout with target near the ATH ( https://www.tradingview.com/v/6AE9Qx7B/) Q1 Ending (Gemini launch scheduled + GBTC trading imminent) Wikipedia, twitter, and news activity ramping up VC investment going through the roof I've been watching this thing for years and I've never seen the stars align like this. Quote this for posterity and my own personal glory. Sunday March 15, 2015 was the all-in moment. And it was obvious. Legit, I bought as much as possible this month, It has been a risking not buying since sub 350.

We had a small period of uptrend lately, it's time for a small dip. Time to buy, we are going down but slowly, and we will see dips like this through the summer.

I think Resource Based Economy is on point and our ultimate fate, but we are still far from it, as species we are not ready and still need a form of money. Bitcoin is objectively the best we have today as money/storage of value.

I don't quite believe it's an exit scam , i've read somewhere they've got some issues due to a large amount of withdrawals
The "get the money and run" scenareo seems as realistic or more. Why would you trust a centralized exchange, let alone a centralized dark market? people dont learn.

Sheets is #1 ?? really strange, I expected something related to computers pieces or some kind of hardware
Weak Bitcoin holders have the need to change the sheets everytime the price goes lower by 10 dollars.

If these governments knew any idea of what's coming they would buy them for themselves, or at least try to store a part of them.

Yeah I saw this yesterday. Apparently the minister of economy of Spain said "this is a rare case and is not going to spread across the rest of the spanish banks".

Sweet, they keep adding up, because it's objectively stupid to not accepting Bitcoin. I have good memories of Rakuten, I bought my PS4 there ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

Complete the sentence... [I would buy Bitcoin because..]
I would buy Bitcoin because.. it will replace the Gold Standard in the future, aka the best place to store wealth + you can spend it like regular fiat.

If not... such contracts would only make sense to those currently positioned in fiat/Long on fiat... what am I missing? ![Undecided](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/undecided.gif) You are missing that this proposal is bad for Bitcoin in the long run So... the If not stands? ![Undecided](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/undecided.gif) If this was a real problem, why Satoshi didn't predict it and launch BTC at 20MB by default?

This is great and all but I'd much rather see a chart covering the explosion in new users buying btc for the first time.
I wouldn't. That's a useless metric at this stage. It would be a great metric, indicating the extent of bitcoin adoption. Unfortunately, given Bitcoin's pseudonymous nature, I think there is no way we can get such a metric. We can see the amount of wallets being downloaded and the amount of addresses being created but never if they are new people, people re uploading the wallet, new or old people making new addresses etc.

As great as bitcoin;s are for store of value, they sometimes have to be used in order to create more economic output, which means spent….
Bitcoin was designed to be spent. If it wasn't, then the blockchain wouldn't be necessary at all. Of course it would. The blockchain is what it is: A ledger that shows stuff is all legit and not double spending happening. Even if people use it as store of value, blockchain gives security.

Bitcoin will not die because of price, I mean asic mining can die because of price but not bitcoin itself. Bitcoin will die if it will not improve (size of blockchain ,etc) , not gain mass adoption and some crypto coin or even more bizzare representation of value comes forward and will look so good that everybody jumps to it. Either way i think crypto is the way to go and even if bitcoin dies it will be because we have something even better. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) If mining is over how would be blockchain secured? More that, wide adopted bitcoin will need adequate amount of hashrate. There will always be people mining. If everyone leaves mining, it would mean whoever is left mining will make tons of money, therefore we will never reach that point. Bitcoin is indestructible, get it through your thick skulls.

It may be uncool to admit it but I just can't get excited about gold as an investment. I'd like to own some because it looks pretty but that's about it. Anything with an ATH that took place 35 years ago is too sluggish for me.
BTC all the way for me. We dunno where it'll head but I'm willing to follow the ride where it takes me.
Do you actually own the gold in your house or you own a paper that says you have x ozs of gold stored somewhere miles away from you?

Greece had to choose between go out of euro and create their own money (with huge inflaction) or stay in euro accepting the conditions. Syriza choosed euro, so they should work more and talk less.
Syriza, like some said they are buying time and waiting for other similar-minded parties to win in other countries to create more pressure against Troika. If even then Troika keeps pressing them i see a realistic scenareo where a lot of south euro countries leave.

Is Regulation The End For Bitcoin? http://bitforum.info/t/is-regulation-the-end-for-bitcoin/396Maybe bitcoiners doesnt say this out loud but majority of us question ourselves, if Bitcoin will be regulated. Would it be the end? I mean, if there is a central entity that regulates Bitcoin, do you think that they're regulation would be 'limited' or will they violate a bitcoiners privacy for the sake of 'regulation'? In the article, it reads the advantages of regulation. Can you give out negative effects if Bitcoin is regulated? They can regulate all they want, they cannot come into your house and tell you what to do with your Bitcoins. As long as you don't convert to fiat reguations don't even matter.

In Wall Street's eyes, bitcoin is just another asset that they can make bubbles upon and earn lots of fiat
Not everyone thinks it's just another asset. Some of them are privately buying and holding for long term use because they see a potential scenareo where Bitcoin becomes a new standard of digital payments.

Still two days to go. I think we will still be fighting the 300$ barrier by sunday, or maybe once the market starts getting traction (it usually takes 5 to 6 hours after 12 pm) we may see a nice little rally.

When I started trading in Bitcoins, the rate was above $300 but through some discussions on this forum, I noticed the price had crossed $1000. When was it and on what factors does this price depend on? Does it work the same way the stock market and forex operate? Also, what was the highest price bitcoin ever attained and the lowest price as well?
Currently the price is $287 and am waiting it to again reach atleast $300.
The price is simply derived by supply and demand. At the very beginning, Bitcoins were worth literally nothing. Thats right, nothing. Why you ask, well, no one was buying them, so the only owners were miners, and Bitcoin didn't simply have any value. Only later on with the first exchanges made between users a price was starting to take shape, then with the first actual exchange the price started to take it's course until what we have today.
