Nice to be back in the top ten.

I think he meant a place to watch the bid/ask order walls.

edit: Bitcoinwisdom is back now for me.

Not as nice a UI as Bitcoinwisdom but with a bit of clicking you can get the job done.

Crossed $1300? Where? At what real, functioning exchange?

Surely you're not basing that on Finex which, as everyone knows, has serious fiat transfer issues with its Taiwanese banks and is meaningless at the moment.

You may as well say the price is stuck below $1100, based on the Chinese exchanges.

In the real world, the price is $1240 at Bitcoinaverage, $1237 at Stamp, $1239 at BTCe, etc.

Finex doesn't matter.

Mornin' Ted.

Yes, it's a good day for Bitcoin but every day's a good day for Bitcoin.

If the price rises, your holdings increase in value. If it dips, it's a buying opportunity.

Gotta go now. Afternoon game. Hafta be at the SkyDome in half an hour. Luckily they provide free wifi so I can check the prices between innings. What a life!

Good morning Bitcoinland.

Nice to see we're creeping up again... currently $1235USD (Bitcoinaverage).

It's almost time to start thinking about gold ounce parity again. Then we can think about $1300 and on toward a new ATH.

Go Bitcoin go.

Don't you think the fact that Finex's 4 Taiwanese banks have frozen transfers (under pressure from Wells Fargo) has something to do with it?

People with fiat there will pay an extreme premium for bitcoins just to get their money out.

That said, there's always been something fishy about Finex. No honest exchange would support something as sleazy as margin trading.

Good morning Bitcoinland.

I see we've crept up a little... currently $1224USD (Bitcoinaverage)

No big thing. We're still basically going sideways. Still, up is better than down.

Even Bearstamp is over $1200 now. Usually BTCe is lowest of the western exchanges but lately Stamp has been subject to a series of well-timed whale dumps and intimidation walls.

Even these aren't getting the job done and the price refuses to fall. Eventually they'll run out of coins to dump and the price will go up.

There's a lot more fiat than bitcoins.


I didn't hear anything about Stamp being hacked. I think it was just idle speculation by a forum poster.

Amen. As my buddy says, it's the best money he's ever been paid for waiting.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Meanwhile those unsightly 2013s keep sinking lower. Good riddance.

Good morning Bitcoinland.

Missed a couple of days over the Easter weekend but see I really missed nothing.

It's still in the $1150-$1200 range... currently $1204 (Bitcoinaverage).

Stamp is resisting the efforts of what appears to be someone desperately trying to drive the price down, and Finex, well Finex is Finex.

I'm glad I don't keep money on exchanges.

It's getting tedious though after 4 days of sideways. I wish it would either take another leg up or at least dip enough to provide a real buying opportunity.

Good Friday morning Bitcoinland.

Almost back to $1200 I see... currently $1194 (Bitcoinaverage).

Some serious arbitrage opportunities at the moment. I'm surprised the arb bots haven't closed the gap.

I can understand why the Chinese exchanges are so far behind, but what's with the $25 spread between Stamp and Finex?

 

Good morning Bitcoinland.

I see a wee dip... currently $1181 (Bitcoinaverage).

No big deal.


Because normally the price keeps rising. It's designed that way.

If it falls, it's usually for a reason such as news, FUD, panic, etc.

That makes it unusual and hence newsworthy.

Good morning Bitcoinland.

Still stuck going sideways around $1220... currently $1222USD (Bitcoinaverage).

Ho hum.

 

At least recently it's waited until I got up.

It used to be that it always seemed to rally when I woke up halfway through the night to use the can. It was starting to wreak havoc with my beauty sleep.

Lately I've been able to enjoy the show with my morning coffee.

Good morning Bitcoinland.

I see we're still over $1200... currently $1222USD (Bitcoinaverage).

That's plenty of consolidation for now. Let's start the next leg up. 

Way to cherrypick a random interval between arbitrary points in 2013 and 2015.  

These are the real facts.

2011- open- $0.30, close- $5, net increase- $4.70 (1567%) Gox
2012- open- $5, close-$13, net increase-  $8 (160%) Gox
2013- open- $13, close- $816, net increase- $803 (6177%) Gox
2014- open- $735, close- $314, net decrease- $421 (57%) Stamp
2015- open- $314, close- $434, net increase- $120 (38%) Stamp
2016- open- $434, close- $998, net increase- $564 (130%) Stamp
2017- open- $998, present- $1210, net increase- $212 (21%) Stamp

I didn't include figures for 2009 and 2010 because there were no exchanges running until late 2010.

We do know that based on 10000btc for a $20 pair of pizzas in May 2010 the value was approximately a fifth of a cent per coin. That represents an increase of 29.8 cents or 14900% in 2010.

Nonsense. The only down year for Bitcoin was 2014.

5 years up, 1 year down, now 3 years up and counting.

Get your facts straight.
