2 years of build up.
anyone else euphoric right now?
Not really I sold 50% of my stash at lowest point because I needed the money for something. I failed at life. hi tarmi ... still sweating on that 258 short position?

Smallblockers happened to me. Scale or die.
Terabytes of blockchain that are to be filled with junk, with near zero cost, does not equal scaling but an open-wide attack vector to destroy BTC. We should put you in charge. you seem to know how people should spend there money! remind me again who in bitcoin land has the power to decide which bitcoin transactions are junk? money velocity is not junk, its a fundamental measure of an economy, we have a limited supply so the only place to grow is increased velocity. and "at near zero cost"? what planet are you on! we are paying miners with Bitcoin inflation 25BTC every 10 min. it's still early days and needed for security while we grow economies of scale. you choose: Limit Block Size we'll see 1MB blocks push tx fees above $10. per transaction. (if the new users think its a good idea and pay to use bitcoin it may gorow - demand in bitcoin is not a given dispirit what come Core Developer - Experts think) or lets the free market decide and let in an extra 1000 transactions generate the $10 fee along with added security in diversity. give it up, you and your buddy doc's gang lost. This is not the time or the place. Find another venue, we're here to have fun and talk about markets not display butthurt on behalf of the failed vendetta of a shill.

I don't give a shit how it's done but it's got to get done. Years and years to figure out a way and if they can't come up with a scaling solution, then either they are incompetent and need to be replaced or they are intentionally obstructing progress and need to be replaced. god .... you guys, pull yer heads out of yer arses and look around. you lost the argument, get over it. there's solutions all around and many more on the way, for real. Just because you're not technical doesn't mean you're not being listened to ... but come on, when better brains say "we got this" then let them get the fuck on with it without all the back-stabbing!!!

this shorter is going all in
What shorter? There's only 9300 BTC swaps on BFX. It's just a seller. BTW, thanks bulls. I just made so much money shorting today, that I can dump again if you wanna take another swipe at $420. So you opened you're just when exactly? When we busted through 380? 400? ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) I call BS I started shorting @ $399 and kept shorting the whole way up. I could have shorted twice as much, but after covering @$380, I know have enough to safely short Three times as much if we come anywhere close to $420 again. I also transferred in some coins I was using for arbitrage just so I have some extra margin. Try it again, Bulls. I double dare you. See if I'm bluffing. dude you've really gone off the rails, sort yourself out. first with all the big block crap and now this shorting shit ... you used to be a model bitcoiner, what happened to you?

getting real close to a buyer's strike mentality and serious illiquidity .... dangerous territory for highly leveraged shorts and exchanges that harbour them with a limited good
I am a bit confused. Buyer's strike -> lower price -> good for shorts... So you mean a shorter's strike? oops yeah seller's strike

Has FOMO even really begun yet?
no, don't think so ... they are all waiting for the "inevitable' dump/pullback/dip, playing it cool, etc.

what indicators do you use to confirm if this is TEH rally?
imo the break of 368.67$ on stamp was important, would be nice to retest it? after that we could go to 450 / 538 (if this-time-different™).
it's already done at least two good retests of 368, so much doubt and fear of retrace around ... no hopium. buy fear, sell hopium ... smelling more fear than hopium right now, buy the dips still I think.

I'm almost expecting hyperexponential prices, we're supposed to have correction soon. Look at the damn charts.
seems to be little enthusiasm and euphoria around the rise so far ... most estimates for future price expectations are woefully pessimistic or conservative, the bear has stomped any hope out of those that are left hanging around. tl;dr still going higher.

Consolidation above $380 would be incredible
If the price lingers above 380 then we are off to the races. As always with bitcoin my only regret is not buying more when i had the chance ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) consolidating on 380 means it is going to take a run at 400 in the near future ...

at what point do investment banks' trading arms and financial firms start trading bitcoin on their books like any other currency?
|

blockchain is the wrapper, bitcoin is the payload.
payload has just been delivered to the heart and minds of the best and brightest inside the global financial system in technically unambiguous terms ... sit back and watch.
