is this despair, then?

 

I recall it vividly

And that you were quite tired and emotional by that point in the evening

The biggest problem is it makes a ton of sense -- since when does Bitcoin operate under such parameters?

We all know the rocket is going to take off sooner or later.... b b b but d d d do you think they have had their fill of c c c cheap coins yet?? out of Mt g g gox?

"Howdy doody Mark how are you on this fine American day? My name is Mr X and Mark the reason I am calling all the way from NY city today is to make you an offer, I think you should put down your frappacuinno extra large, and park your extra large butt on one of them big blue balls... I have an offer that you cannot refuse, it will keep you in blueballs and extra decorative tubs of coffee for ever..................
.......but first show me your books"

Mark pisses himself with glee and hands over the books

"Interesting so back in 20** this dip in price here what caused this? what is that you say? you halted withdrawals and everyone shit themselves? and the price tanked...... hmm interesting..."

"ok the offer stands...here is a giant stack of cash... but you are now mine!!  dance fat boy!!  dance!-
 
Ahem sorry I mean here is what we are going to do......I want you to halt all Bitcoin withdrawals now..."

Price tanks

Mr X buys lots and lots of cheap coins...

MtGox reopens withdrawals slowly

Price creeps back up

MK announces he is taking early retirement

MtGox gets bought out by a fund, maybe intending to open an NY office in 2015

Confidence re MTGox soars

Price soars

They got cheap entry into the market, and picked up a "distressed asset" along the way  
and played a lovely game of manipulate the market with a healthy dose of fear.

Anyone who trusts the words of "Charlie" is dumb.  You don't know if that's really him, and even if it is, is he really home now?   Was his account hacked.  So much incredible FUD.    Ignore every last shred except facts.

Fact.
1.  MtGox shut off their twitter.  

Speculation: 
Twitter shutoff:  Who does that?  Certainly not a company about to fix their issues and not one that was being bailed out.  If they were being bailed out, they would have used twitter to announce it as it needs to be public quickly I would think.

Charlie quotes:are speculative and who knows if it is really even the kid?  Who would be that silly to spread insider information like that so publically when they are already under federal charges.  That's just asking for trouble when you manipulate a market.

Yeah, exactly! That is why it's not so necessary to hodl. I also believe in this idea that bitcoin brought forward, but I just don't believe that bitcoin has a very long life left in it.
I'm not telling here that bitcoin investors deserve nothing. I'll only say that eventually those will get nothing, who will go over the top with their hodling.
Trading is the smart and profitable way to go. You only have to understand that the big fish are after the little fish.

Gox is so bad that for some reason they think I'm Romanian or something like that so "cancel" order link is now named "annuluy" 

I suppose that there is no training or exam required in order to trade at Bitstamp, right?  One can learn by doing?

All I need to do is open an account, transfer in my 500,000 BTC, click on random buttons and see what happens; right? 

   <-------- just in case.

Not this fiat either:

when bored.. keep trolling
