It is sad, that bitcoin users might destroy bitcoins with this bullshit.

I couldn`t let it go for that low. I would be willing to part with the set for BTC1.7, which is a fair price for the package I`m offering.

bull? LOL i think we have a wild//^FIRE BTCREATHING DRAGON!!!*jmho!*   /\WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

the wife trashed the tablet

I hate banks, they want to charge me a $25 fee to investigate why I was charged an extra $50 in fees over the expected 5% + $40 with my international wire to an exchange.

edit: sorry off topic but I don't read any other threads :]

It's important to reconcile the scopes of perception here, considering that most of these scopes cannot see the other:

a) We are literally sitting staring at the screen, waiting, chatting while we *decide* if the charts are about to consolidate, go bullish, go bearish, hit the moon, etc. This *is*, we *are* the pulse of the btc speculation ecosphere. We are standing in the boiler room watching the machine pump heat--  because we can see it's working just fine, sometimes it's hard to believe that it's too warm or cold upstairs. Classic myopia.

b) We have no idea, for the most part, what the Chinese are doing, in terms of sentiment, other that heavily buying in steadily. They are likely speculators and folks just like us, who see the newest, shiniest thing, or realize the coming value of a mature crypto account register.

c) Many of us have friends who are newly interested in Bitcoin, they are approaching us, actually listening to the conversation about cryptos. These people were afraid we'd pass out tinfoil hats at last Thanksgiving (some of us have done so forever, such is the nature of visionary (ahem, nuts)).

d) The upcoming Senate hearing (on the 18th), VC's throwing money to startups that we haven't even really begun to see the product of (Kraken, Coinsetter...), Forbes articles and in general continually more positive news spin and coverage. The proletariate will be what they have always been, the peeps.

e) The googly trends chart... oh, what correlation it carries is astounding. If there ever was a cogent point for 'don't read into it too much' it's this chart (albeit it's a trailing one, sadly :-/).

f) Bitcoin is hugely successful in any context. We know that, but it will be all the more obvious in 20 years. Yeah, duh, the internet and money had a bastard child. Why wouldn't it rock the casbah. So, stepping away from the cliff, we should take some pride in being involved, and be humbled to see a change for the good, away from manipulable capital that seeks nothing but further vampiric reduction of liberty, while enforcing a crippling cancerous consumption mantra. What was great for industrialization is now going the way of the dodo--> P2P kills centralization.

g) Asset, commodity, currency, protocol or whatever, it will adhere to price discovery if easily exchanged. Playas gonna play, haterz gonna hatez.

Conclusion: rpitella's (sp?) chart is really pretty good, so far, until it's not. We're going up too fast (for the last hot 10 seconds), so if trading's what you like, there will be a chance to increase your BTC count. Long term, to the moon. Peace out folks, and don't forget to set your bitcoinreminders (.com).

Are you positive you have no viruses on your box?
Maybe it could be some sort of malware looking for a *coin-qt process and scanning all disks for wallet files.
Do you keep balances on the clients ?

As arbitrage is not simple or quick, each exchange sets up it's own balance of supply/demand, to an extent.
