I remain a buydler and a hodler...   

However, I just get a little bit too worked up, from time to time, when there are posts that seem to be purposefully based on incorrect information - even if the information happens to be bullish.   

In that regard, there is NO credible news or information that Coinbase is making some major or large purchase of BTC in the next 1 or 2 days.  If there is such news, I would like to hear what that is (besides the message that they provided to users on Sunday about being out of BTC). 

Instead of pausing buys entirely, we decided to give people the option to purchase bitcoin at the market price in a few days. Once your USD funds arrive, we will exchange them to bitcoin at the market price at approximately Friday Aug 22, 2014 at 11:04PM PDT.

Don't.   Buying the presale is not investing in ethereum, is not buying an IPO.  Is just giving the developers free money.  In the presale terms and conditions it clearly says that they have no obligation to even finish the project since they are in alpha phase.
You are basically funding them. And for now they definitely don't need more.

The project will be finished (if ever) in months. It's gonna suck you BTC away.

I have been thinking about investing in ethereum.. what are peoples thoughts? I know that they just dumped a shitload of coins, but i think mastercoin is basically their competition.. What are some of your thoughts on ehtereum?

Any comment here on the suddenly high volume on BTCChina? During the last uptrend (450$-680$) BTCChina's volume was around 5k daily, while now during the last days down and the bounce, daily volume is around 30-35k. While bitstamps volume remained the same.

Some one here implied that coinbase was now buying from BTCChina instead of Bitstamp, maybe they made this switch to implement Litecoin soon? Don't forget litecoin's founder is working at Coinbase.

I guess Ethereum will sell off another batch of their coins when the price recovers further. Combined with the New York Issue we could see another panic sell before we get ready for the cold days.


Winter is coming!

The SEC's job is supposed to include protecting the casual investor from fraudulent and misrepresented investments, like those that led to the crash of 1929.  If they were really committed to that, their position about COIN or any other bitcoin investment fund should be the one aptly and repeatedly illustrated in this classic video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8gpjk_MaCGM

But, as we saw in the last financial crisis, the US government has redefined their mission as helping sleazy entrepreneurs to suck money from common folks.  So I suppose that the chances of COIN being approved are good.  The approval may have a positive effect on price, maybe.

Tomorrow it´s going to be a hard day.

I don't know about you guys, but I'm getting really weary of the "Winklevii ETF launch soon, it will save us!" crap.  Not that I don't want to see that happen.  I do, but not only have people been saying for 4-5 months now Soon^TM! about that ETF launching, but it could literally be like another year away, or more.  I really don't want to read about it being "just around the corner" for the next 12+ months, from people who really have no fkn clue when it will launch.

It's the equivalent of saying "Bitcoin to $40K any day now!"  So tiring.

Most epic short squeeze there is. Yes it is overshooting, i suspect i'll go down again eventually.


LITECOIN è UNA CAGATA PAZZESCA
