I applied to get verified with gox a couple of days ago. My queue number was 14,250 or there about. It's gone down 1k in 2 days and it's the weekend so not bad really.

Only reason i'm doing it now is so it's done, i'm a long term holder but i'd rather do it now and have plenty time to make sure everything is done right than sell in the future and have to wait even longer to receive my funds.

Must be very bullish though, just a couple of weeks ago it was 8k and they hired more staff yet the queue continues to climb

See, the Proudhon thread from early 2012 that Op copies almost ad verbatim here (i c wut u did), has Proudhon predicting single digits at this time (he was two digits off.) And the average prediction from other posters in that thread is around $14, which is a tenth of what it is now, a year later. What does this mean?

In April 2012, both the bears AND the bulls were way off, and predicted a price between 10 and 100 times lower than it is today. We need to use a new animal - perhaps the vulture? A big black scary-looking vulture with a cascascius coin hanging off a gold bling chain around its neck, and of course, grasped within its talons is a sinister package that it is delivering anonymously (next day air!) for Silk Road. Naturally, the vulture is a metaphor for the hungry, circling bitcoiners moving in on the sickly, decaying banksters and devouring the last bits of their wealth.

Now, Proudhon is stuck in a perpetual price microcosm and continues to see every single 2-hour 10% decrease (even if it is followed by a massive upswing) as sign of a humongous long crash lasting 6 months and bringing us back to single digits, so perhaps we need to start calling him a "dodo bird" or similar animal that is renowned for being silly and/or stupid. "Bear" is almost a compliment.

So I'm going to go ahead and say that in a year's time, 1 BTC will be at least $10,000 USD, but really I think 100,000 isn't too much of a stretch.

i seem to remember something about extrapolation... nah, not important. I'll be retiring in 6 months at age 24, folks. XKCD can go suck it.

With Friday action like this, I think 200 might be low-balling it.

Ahhhh yeahhhhh. Damn that was refreshing to watch.

        Just saying Whats Up..... I'm new around here, just got full turned on to the cryptocurrency a few weeks ago.  At first I thought Bitcoins could be, a way for me to make some money from my beloved internet.  Now I've come to realise, this is not at all what Bitcoins is about. Granted I hope to turn my little hobby into a viable buisness, but at this point im willing to mine has long has i break even.  I believe in the entire idea of it, the entire concept of a currency thats not controlled by a group of families that in most aspects are the true form of evil. This is currency from the people, for the people.

      I don't think this is going to be an easy fight.  I think there is going to be alot of entities that are going to try and squash this thing we got going here.  Then will be the time, when we see who's really in this for the long haul. Who's here not to make a quick buck, but who's here to change the world.  I am in fact the latter.  I laugh in the face of authority, always have, always will.    So any way just saying, "Hi".    Soon I will be out of this Newbies dungeon I'm trapped in..... Then I'll be free to spread my ideas has far has i can.... has long has there is someone there to listen.......

                                   Sincerely,
                                A guy that gives, not one FUCK....

Was this a code signal for someone to buy all those coins just now??

Can we use a different date?  I don't like that one.

The trading actions I'll be taking in the near future:

-12 ounce curls, using my favorite beer, paid for fully by recent bitcoin rally.
-music appreciation, in the form of the Bitcoin Rally Song (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=168163.0.)

The one I will most certainly NOT be taking:

-pressing the Sell button.

IMHO, with the euro crisis going on, the current 1.5 billion market cap of bitcoin is going to look laughably small, very soon.

Heading to $270 in the next few days

I was hoping the all-caps would ensure no one missed the sarcasm....

You can only sell BTC for Chinese Yuan, and the amount of Yuan you sell is equivalent to $150.

But how are you gonna to transfer the Yuan back to USD and back to your US bank account? Not that easy, It takes many fees and many days. So this is not some easy money that everyone can grab.

ALL OF THE GAINS WE MADE IN THE LAST 36 HOURS HAVE BEEN LOST, GET OUT WHILE YOU CAN!!
