i will keep selling as the price goes up
Of course, because why would you want to sell at an even higher price? Wink
82  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer - MtGoxUSD wall movement tracker on: August 09, 2012, 04:29:12 PM
hehe, except there are a LOT of rich newbie buyers depositing on multiple exchanges in multiple currencies as we speak. =)
yes... this is sad but true. No one can be a winner without the losers

i sold more  Wink
by the time we reach 20 you'll be out of your coin
I think we found the loser

There have been 1000s of threads about this stupid taint idea. Why does every newbie inhere start the same topic instead of educating himself why this is actually stupid.
Bitcoins are fungible, and luckily, will ever be.

I think that simply resuming was a fine call. All of the actual trades that happened were legit after all and the whole scenario didn't go on for very long. Rolling back would perhaps be too much for something that actually did so little.
But think about all those sell orders, that have not been fulfilled at a lower price. Now those coins have to be sold at a higher price and the result is some highly unwanted profit for those poor bears. Maybe they can throw out MtGox USD codes to restore their bearish balance. Grin

Read the other threads, people with sell orders have seen them disappear unfulfilled.
They were very unlucky, being unable to sell at some lower price Wink
86  Economy / Speculation / Re: Holy fuuck, look at that non-wall ! on: August 09, 2012, 12:56:44 PM
Most other exchanges are around at 11.5 also, so I think at least 11.5 is legit. And MtGox usually being 0.2 to 0.3 higher than the others, even 11.8 sounds legit
87  Economy / Speculation / Re: maybe someone did just buy all available btc up to max price ? on: August 09, 2012, 12:47:38 PM
Personally I cry that I just sold 100 @ $11.50 but at the same time am relieved Im still siting only a good amount Smiley
There are still plenty of cheap coins on the other exchanges Wink
88  Economy / Speculation / Re: Holy fuuck, look at that non-wall ! on: August 09, 2012, 12:45:07 PM
I'm scared.
Would you remove the bear if now 1BTC==$1B?

Since I myself always tend to forget about this wonderful service: http://coinapult.com/
It is a great way to send some Bitcoins and have the receiver to educate himself - sort of viral.

I just realized that this is you (far left):
Congratulations Phinn, outstanding detective work. You however missed that I'm visible and hearable on the video recordings as well: http://wiki.london.hackspace.org.uk/view/Project:Bitcoin/Bitcoin_Weekend_2011#Recordings.
lonelyminer, I think you missed the point. Since when does Bruno believe that someone is who he actually is?

ATLAS SPOTTED
It seems he has a new naming scheme lately:

At least he managed to already stay 1 more day than on his last account.
Anyone wants to guess his next name?
93  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why Bitcoin is a better choice as a currency for Americans than gold on: August 06, 2012, 12:23:06 PM
The number of node does say nothing about how much bitcoins are owned.
As an example, I am sure the US has more filling stations than Saudi Arabia, but the latter still has much more oil.
94  Economy / Speculation / Re: [Daily Speculation Poll] :: how high on: August 05, 2012, 11:02:35 PM
So when you say "low" you mean $20?

Spoken like a true bull hahaha
Isn't Adam a bear in the meantime? Didn't he sell at about $9 before going MIA for a few days?
95  Economy / Speculation / Re: Alright, we roughly doubled before the block reward adjustment. on: August 05, 2012, 10:56:08 PM
Its about the inflow of fiat into Bitcoin. pirate was able to counter this for a few months, but in the last 2 month the inflow is too high for him to constantly keep the price at $5. So we ended up around $10. If the inflow stays as high as it was, we will see even higher prices in the months to come.

I really question why you guys are donating anything to Payb.tc, given that he's currently making over $9000 per week off of this. That's about $470k per year, for those of you who are bad at math.
Either Bitcoin is at $100 or you think that 0.1% is the same as 1%

...
miscreanity, are you paid for constantly trying to educate them? You seem to have endless patience.
See, in the Dark Ages, everything someone did not understand had to be done by the devil, so they had to burn the witch.
Just imagine, Vandroiy or Micon or the like as simple people from the Dark Ages, and suddenly a huge Antonov 225 flies over them. This thing weights more than 500 horses, so would you expect they can believe such a heavy thing can fly without help from the devil?
The same today, a business that is not understood, has to be a ponzi.
Just 2 years ago, everyone would have told you that Bitcoin itself is a scam, while in fact, it was a huge lost opportunity for those that dismissed it. But today everyone is jealous and whines about those early adopters.
The pirate business is the same. In the end, a lot of people will whine about the lost opportunity.
History tends to repeat itself.
Just ignore those losers.

cool bitcoinica story
There is one thing that ZT did right, and that was to design the site in a way, so that everybody could quickly understand how it works - or at least believe to do this. Compare the success (number of active users) of Bitcoinica with the few others that have some similar direction. No one is using BitcoinOPX. icbit has probably not that much more traders. ZT clearly showed that there is some demand for such a site. And one could argue, that it is only fair, that those that don't know how to play lose the game.
Just curious, did you do this only on a upward ramp?

the reason Bitcoinica was so successful was that Zhou was so accessible.  he was everywhere on the Forums talking up the site, answering questions, and explaining what he was doing (superficially by my estimation).  his young age was intriguing and captivated the younger kid newbie traders here who defended him with a passion.  perhaps they saw themselves via his personna.  even the older devs were captivated by his charisma; look at Amir, Donald, and Patrick who bought the ponzi from him right at the wrong time.  personally, i think Zhou knew it was going to blow up and used his excuse for going to school as an out.  why give up a highly profitable business unless those profits were based on a ponzi?  no proof, just my intuition based on my interactions with him and the vulnerabilities in the site that i saw.

no, i only manipulated the market that one time.  i never deposited a cent onto Bitcoinica b/c i distrusted the site immensely.  i am not The Manipulator everyone talks about.  
Your memory is wrong. The unholy trio was hired by Tihan, not by ZT.
I played a little bit on bitcoinica, and there was no need for anybody to explain anything - everything was intuitive. I recently looked at BitcoinOPX - I have no clue how this should work, and I am by far not the only one. And that despite this user giving page long examples.
And if ZT really wanted to steal the funds, he could have easily started some sort of fractional reserve system, but apparently he did not.
