So how you guys liking that back-and-forth wash trading?
Feels just like a groundswell of overwhelming public demand, doesn't it? At this rate we'll be over $5K in no time! /s
$5K is a done deal. Interesting question is if we go over $10K by the end of this year? So sure are we? Hope that you are right, but I'm curious what you are attributing that to. I'm not sure that Average Joe, after reading the headlines about BTC-e's demise and that bitcoin is used by criminals, will be falling all over himself to buy ANY bitcoin right now. Especially when he has absolutely no fkn clue what either SegWit or SegWit2X are, nor does he care. Big money is just waiting the 'correct' time to enter Bitcoin. They are losing patience and starting to panic why market isn't dumping in light of HF fud, 1stAug, chain split, SEC ruling on ICOs, BCC, and btc-e news. A lot of people that shorted Bitcoin are now biting their nails.

On a more serious note: There are several other mechanisms that fix malleability. There is still a discussion to be had as to whether or not SegWit is the best approach.
SegWit will solve malleability. This will allow side chains. You can develop and use a side chain to offer whatever you think is the best solution to whatever problem. Moreover, a side chain can be so good that it may become the main chain. The beauty is that all this can be done slowly, voluntarily, without HFs, and without any risks to bitcoin users. SegWit is not the final soltution. Segwit is just a tool that gives us the ability to develop new amazing tools!

It goes like this since 2009. No one really knows how long can it go.

I sold again, at 2740, sold all. Yep, I knew you don't have any bitcoins. Tomorrow when price is higher than that you'll stop posting here or you'll change your nickname.

We are going to see dip bigger than ever.. 700-1200 USD
So, don't wait! Sell your bitcoins at current rate! I'll buy all of them. if you have any bitcoins, of course?

Eagerly awaiting to see what they've found and proofs do they have. If they don't show that within week or two then all is just mirrors and smoke!

people are more scared of human laws than mathematical ones.
I don't think so. Try to walk on the street by neglecting mathematical laws. You'll kill yourself in just a minute.

I think it'll go down some if the rumor is true and BTCe did indeed hack MT Gox.
The rumor is that MtGox hacker laundered stolen bitcoins by selling them on BTC-e. This is very different from accusing BTC-e of hacking MtGox. lol

At least SW is going to lock in this month, interested to see how far down price will go before and after SW.
I'm interested to see how far up price will go before and after SW.

Did everyone just miss this bit ?? - The trial of MT's CEO recently kicked off in Tokyo. Gox Mark Karpelès , who accused the hackers of the 850,000 bitcoin, worth about $ 500 million, lost in 2014. According to documents that reached 306,853 bitcoins stolen after the attack on Mt. Gox entered the BTC-e purses. According to the same documents another part of the stolen from the attack on Mt. Gox arrived at a San Francisco exchange office.
What's that supposed to mean? Sooner or later every bitcoin (stolen or not) will "enter" some exchange. That doesn't mean that the person that sends it to the exchange is the thief!

Are we all going to die??
Not before we see John McAfee winning his bet for 1 bitcoin = $500000 by 2020.

The 38-year-old is characterized by the US authorities as one of the leading members of an organization that was running large amounts of money through an online Bitcoin digital exchange platform that helped to "launder" more than $ 4 billion from 2011 to date!
Wow... Just wondering how many billions of $$$ have been laundered through other "online Bitcoin digital exchange platforms" like Bitstamp, Kraken, and Bifinex?

If the BTC-e story is true, what is the likely effect it will have on the price?
Will be minimal if any effect at all. This time gov-banking oligopoly couldn't confiscate bitcoin holdings of the exchange like they did to MtGox. Congress voted for new Russian sanctions yesterday. One can say that btc-e is a Russian entity. By confiscating btc-e bitcoins US gov is confiscating (or trying to confiscate) Russian bitcoins. This reminds me of Cyprus few years ago when EU decided to confiscate Russian euros in all Cyprus banks.

When will the fud end?
Never. There will always be people who want to buy cheap bitcoins.

I am somewhat in favor for another purge of the ecosystem so that any remaining complaints like "Bitcoin is only used for crime" get left behind.
This is a fallacy. Money will always be used to pay for crime. The more real money is the more often it'll be used to pay for crime. If Bitcoin is the only real money it goes without saying that only Bitcoin will be used for crime! If you live in a society without money that means you're living in a jail.

Can you guys please join my effort of requesting SEGWIT support on Bitcoin Cash?
Chinese mining cartel decided to sell some bitcoins and we're happy to buy them. They think that by creating Bitcoin [Whatever] they can define price direction. They are wrong. Nobody cares about Bitcoin Cash.

Someone dumped 1000 BTC on Bitfinex which caught a few people in a long trap.
I've bought some of those and I feel lucky, not trapped.

Altcoin bagholders are losing their patience and hysterically try to create something out of nothing. They know segwit will make 99% of the alts obsolete.
