I believe Germany is poised to become the superpower of the world once again. In my understanding they are second only to the U.S. in bitcoin ownership currently, and their usage is growing faster. Unlike the Americans of today, the Germans are thrifty people. The bitcoin street price is higher in Germany than in the U.S., which is an indication that bitcoins are flowing to the country. Ich denke daß ich bald mal beachten müssen werde, deutsch zu lernen. Correct me if I am wrong!

Perhaps it will go to 2, like BTCUSD did ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) You think it will reverse when we hit 2, or will it just keep going down? Prophetic. I think the probability for a sucker rally increases as we cross 2.

All gold is sold to the new owners. Expect the tracking numbers in your respective PM shortly after posting this notice.
For the record, the gold bars were sold between 0-4% over spot and the coins 2-7% over. In other words, I sold the rest of it at a dealer "bid" when the 9 hours was consummated, according to the instructions by my principal.
The reason for selling the gold in such a haste was of course diversification. The seller is now sitting on good and increasing gains from his bitcoins, and buyers, I believe, are also very happy for having acquired some yellow metal that is not dependent on the existence of Internet and blocksize concerns.
Thank you everybody, I will continue to serve the community with similar offers!

I have an opportunity to acquire Philharmonics 1oz silver coins ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fencrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com%2Fimages%3Fq%3Dtbn%3AANd9GcT7p35JNPm3icx7z22xFw65zgPlKuoYUa5LG2SqcgyF9-VSdxp2&t=663&c=Q4GMKRyb1GF_sQ) to be sold at about ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fbtcticker.appspot.com%2Fmtgox%2F36usd.png&t=663&c=lj_7dy59ML-rxQ) .

Walls down.
Not quite yet, but soon ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) like maybe 100 coins there, it is no longer a wall:) LOL these days BTC2000 qualifies as a wall, not long ago it was BTC10,000.

I also got a client yesterday. He was in a hurry, he wanted to cash out of bitcoin for euros and do it same day and I offered him spot-5%.
He came, I stuffed EUR 10,000 in his hand and he sent me BTC64.
As we were waiting for the tx to confirm, he explained that he had bought the bitcoins some time ago with EUR 500.
Now as the price had risen so quickly, he wanted to ride the freebies. So he cashed out a part of the bitcoins for EUR 9,500 profit.
Now, read the above sentence again. A part.
Never sell out.
You know, buying is less risky than selling. If you buy, you can lose at most 100% of your investment. Every time you sell, you are missing out of potentially infinite future gains, and I know of cases that people have become mad over losing that much money.

To preserve the anonymity of my clients, I have altered the details.

It's page 1024!! ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) We're now living in a post-singularity world. Yes, the next parity will be with the actual dollar amount, I don't think we'll see 0.1 threadcount parity ever again.. If we do, that will be an excellent entry point for institutions.

Now the price has continued sinking down to 4.25, it does not show any signs of slowing down.
Units??? We are quoting the price of 1 USD (or anything else) in milliBitcoins (mBTC = BTC0.001). For this change of viewpoint, we are able to turn everything upside down, and that is fun. **//** I am afraid the fall will continue until we get uncomfortably close to 1. When we start to approach it, say, at 1.5-1.3 or so, there will be increased buying pressure that will rock the boat. I think 1 will not be breached, technically that would be a bold prediction. I think that the parity will continue to offer support until this autumn, at least. (I am rather disappointed that 10 did not offer any support at all ![Sad](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/sad.gif) ) As nothing seems to stop the fall, that is exactly what I will predict to happen: the fall will turn jittery and a sucker rally will commence from the level between 1.3-1.5. That will go all the way to 2.5-3, followed by a plateau which will provide a good exit point for many wealthy individuals and organisations, and a buyback point for those that successfully exited a while ago, since many of the goods they are willing to acquire are still priced in US dollars and have become surprisingly affordable due to the crash in the exchange rate.

There is about 700 coins left. When they run out, I expect it will take at most one month to replenish stock.

Hello all! Due to lowered shipping charges (when quoted in BTC), we are lowering our fixes s/h rate to BTC0.200, which is still about the same as the price of one coin! We are also running out on all of the following: - Canada 1oz Maple Leaf silver coins - Silver American Eagle 1oz coins - VAT-free shipping quota to selected EU countries. There is about 700 coins left. When they run out, I expect it will take at most one month to replenish stock. I cannot do it while the price rallies, so you have the chance of ordering now or needing to order from somebody else in the meantime We still have 100x 5 ounce Vicksburg Silver rounds, they are a real beauty and currently go for less than BTC1 per piece. PM me if interested!

This, with several independent wallets (like one small wallet which has the funds directly on the online computer too) is pretty secure.
I like it when people describe nuclear blast proof solutions, ending with the humble remark, "pretty secure".

I think it is a reasonable goal.
Despite previously being an advocate of Bitcent myself,
Last Friday I officially changed all my business into mBTC. Today I sold 11,918 mBTC for 2000 euros, for example.
We can hope to agree, but eventually the change will come because of self-serving individuals bringing it about. It is much easier to convince people to buy mBTC priced at 0.16 rather than BTC at 160 €.

MODS- I'm posting this hear because it's about bitcoin
Right now, TRC has ground to a halt because it's difficulty was taken sky-high thanks to some ASICS that hopped on the network and then hopped off, leaving the difficulty incredibly high, and it taking everyone else forever to solve the block required to bring it down. It's brought the network to a standstill (although there is a fix being released for this).
Although of course TRC difficulties are incredibly low, so it makes this sort of attack easy to do- it does make one wonder how the bitcoin network would react. As we grow and grow, eventually we will get to a size large enough that we are threatening for various other interest groups (if we aren't already). Although ASICS have made it much more expensive to attack the network, they haven't yet become widespread enough to claim we are really 'safe'.
If a State actor (for example China) were to put some time and money into it, they as well could develop a line of ASICS (indeed the only functioning ASICS are out of china- the government need really only seize their already completed designs and pay the factory to seriously ramp up production). With a large ASIC farm one could take the Bitcoin difficulty so high that when they leave the network the remaining bitcoin miners are stuck for hours trying to solve one block. As TRC shows you need only to slow down block production by a couple hours to induce widescale panic.
Thoughts?

Is not MPEx and MPOE separate when it comes to the collateral of contracts? Hence the MPEx profit and MPOE loss in March. In other words, MPEx can continue functioning even if the bondholders have no collateral. It will just be a matter of finding new bondholders, if MP bankrupts himself making bad financial decisions, who are willing to take short positions.
Just because it is hard to find a well capitalized bear does not mean the MPEx service is going to fail; just volumes will greatly decrease until volatility premiums on the options rise, a lot, to compensate the bears.
MP has simply been selling call options too cheaply. He will either learn his lesson and charge higher premiums or run out of bitcoins and no longer be able to collateralize anymore options.
I am not sure why anyone in their right financial mind would be short bitcoin and particularly not at the extremely cheap premiums of the call options on MPEx. But that is what markets are for and the correct prognosticator profits.
You are right, at least technically. MPEx (exchange) can of course continue hosting S.DICE and B.BET (and itself) even in the event of MP defaulting his obligations. I see that Matthew is still doing business despite his default last September. I think that takes way more spine than disappearing with the money (like about every bitcoin business so far has done). But it will cast a shadow no doubt, if the operator has a history of default, unless it is meticulously handled. In the previous world, bankruptcy cleared your debt, but also assets. In the bitcoin world, you can put aside the amount you feel comfortable with, and give the rest to your creditors. I think the bitcoiners don't fully grasp the ramifications. If you give your bitcoins to someone, and he messes up, no matter what happens next, you are poor and he is (probably) rich. I was watching the last night price appreciation in awe, but also with sadness as I am truly afraid that MP OE cannot deliver this month. PR has been ominously quiet on this one. Perhaps it would be time to step up and clarify, how deep you are currently swimming..? There maybe richs bears around, willing to take some of their risk if the price is right. Unfortunately, at the present level of communication from their part, almost nobody feels safe having any dealings with them. ![Sad](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/sad.gif)
