Oh fuck

Deep breaths. Remember, we really don't know anything right now.

But now that the cat is out of the bag, paymium should clarify ASAP if the emptying of the cold wallet was done by them or by a thief.

No doubt.  Every minute of silence is bad for them no matter WHAT the outcome.

The price, being a little fluffy at the moment, is susceptible to bad news. Bitcoin Central and/or Instawallet getting raided and losing everyone's money would cause a news splash and a crash, especially since it throws cold water on the "move your money out of banks and into Bitcoin" theme that the media is running with. It would be a great buying op, could take us down to $60. Otherwise, we're likely to continue this meteoric rise.

Unless the hypothetical thief dumps all his coins at once I doubt we'll see anything to crazy.  The fork issue was a MUCH larger test of bitcoin than this.

Second wave successfully started.

Bids still at 10mil mark, asks never went up past 50k and beginning to falter again. 

I think a big wave down is coming.  Based on PWT, of course.

You think that? Truly, a ground breaking prediction!   Grin
805  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: bitcoin-central.net say they detected a security-breach on: April 01, 2013, 07:37:14 PM

I looked up "whelp" (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=whelp).

None of the definitions seem to make sense in this context. ("A hot young 20 something guy who prefers having sex, dating, or marrying older women.")


In EvE Online if you "whelp" your ship/fleet it means you died/lost in a horrible embarrassing manner. 
806  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: bitcoin-central.net say they detected a security-breach on: April 01, 2013, 07:33:49 PM

I hope to god that the people from bitcoin central did that as a security measurement....

Do we know when the site went down?  If the timing is close, then this may just be the case.  Though, if it were the case, it'd be prudent of them to say that those with coins there havent' lost anything
807  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: bitcoin-central.net say they detected a security-breach on: April 01, 2013, 07:31:16 PM

Looks like a whelp to me.
808  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Instawallet Security Breach on: April 01, 2013, 07:22:47 PM
But there were 3.5million wallets. Is it just limited to 3000?

We don't know if the problem is related to that, or another problem entirely.  We don't know if coins were stolen, lost, looked at, fondled, or licked.  Just have to wait for official statements at this point.
809  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Instawallet Security Breach on: April 01, 2013, 07:19:51 PM
I am a little worried at the moment, should I just chill out?

Too early to tell, but either way the lesson will be "trust no one to hold your coins".

Lol, it always seems like whenever we have a price increase some service or something has to ruin it by fudging up something hardcore.  I don't think this will impact price, but it's still annoying.
812  Economy / Speculation / Re: Instawallet security breach on: April 01, 2013, 06:50:37 PM
doubt anybody is reckless enough to store anything but some change for a brief periods of time there (less than it takes for search engines to pick up the url). so non-issue.

I wish this were true, but people seem to fall for the same mistakes over and over.

April fool.

Yea, that does seem to be the case.  Glad they decided spreading FUD with people's money isn't really the best idea for a 4/1 joke Cheesy

I saw this pop-up on google but it was already 404'd by the time I looked at it.  Google said it was less than 30mins old when I found it.  Did anyone by chance to see what it said?

I'm only going to live there if there is a mandatory hygiene law.  I know, I know, big brother and all,  but if we're underground everyone better be smellin' fresh.

It will take the same amount of BTC to get to $80 and $50,000. Things are starting to get exciting.

But is everyone not in at this moment?
Tongue

waiting list at gox is over 8.5k

That's a whole lot of people crying because they're stuck watching the price go up while they can't buy.
So should I wait for Dwolla -> Gox or just go down and use Bit Instant? Which will cost me more in the next 5 days if I am going to put another $1000 in? The Bit Instant fees, or missing out on a $20 price jump tomorrow? lol

I think it's probably 50/50.  Flip a coin maybe?

I think we should all just start pricing from btcchina!  It's at 701.51 Yuan = 113 dollar. Muw-hahahha

Looks like we're aiming for Laos now.

If anything, the bears just proved that the demand for $100 is real.  Thanks.

But seriously, try to be less dumb.  Who ever decided to sell at 99 just lost out on at least $1000, prob more.

you're forgetting the possibility of people being involved in options, futures, bets and the like. So maybe it can make sense to try to keep the market down by executing seemingly unprofitable trades. Not saying this is the case, but it's possible.


Well, that seems doubly worse to me.  First, they betted against the trend of BTC rising in value and THEN lost tons of money trying to bet against it a second time.
