Okay so this guy is clearly not Satoshi but most certainly one hell of a sociopath  Shocked

That'll get Bitcoin in the news though and a lot of people will notice the current price raise.

Bullish.

Saving this to quote later...

satoshi is some lone genius (albeit little-crazy eccentric (i mean he must have been)) versus he is NSA derp? I'd say crazy bullish.

I think this time, it really is him. I wonder what he has in store for us. He says he'll be releasing a paper next year. Exciting times ahead for sure.

This is going higher. BTCe is following along for once.

Is $256 now too high a bid for me to go to bed on, I wonder.  Undecided

You must be trading on Gemini. Even then, they'll just take it back.

Whale fight?
446  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: November 05, 2015, 01:33:16 AM
My guess is >$500 in the next 12 hours.

Doesn't this worry anyone else? Bitfury is one company that already controls 15% of the mining on the network and now they are going to build something capable of supporting 1000 PH of new mining gear?

Why would anyone worry, if they invested 100 Mil, they are not going to jeopardize it by doing anything malicious

It doesn't have to be malicious. It could be incompetence or government influence or many other things. They will likely keep their share of the network just under 50% but its still not a good thing for Bitcoin in my opinion.

Bitfury is one company that already controls 15% of the mining on the network and now they are going to build something capable of supporting 1000 PH of new mining gear? The entire network right now is only 400 PH.

I think there is some confusion on this board. A mining pool does not really control the hashing power on that pool. If they try to do something strange with the hashing power, the miners behind the pool move their miners to another pool. Antpool would probably be less than 5% of the network if they didn't allow outside miners. The only real exception (with more than about 5%) is Bitfury who does independently control 20% of the network right now and growing.

You will never get your bitcoin back if you buy one of these at this price. It isn't even close. This is for suckers or those with stolen electricity.

It is all situation dependent but for most (including me) I could have made more money buying coin all year and then selling at $300 when it was in that range. However that would not be as fun, as supportive of the network, and I would have spent my money playing with some other idealistic electronic related idea so it may as well be the one which has hope to actually make a difference.

It isn't all about the money for a great number of the people posting here.
 
However, we still care about the money and the difficulty flatness over this year showed it is possible, but the power rate and uptime will determine such.
I agree the price is high, but the early adopters do get to start on ROI the soonest. So if you are going to roll the dice, roll them now. By the time people wait for the price to drop the difficulty is going to seriously pop.

Don't encourage people to buy this, it's just plain wrong.

I don't understand all of this talk about two chains etc. There is no way that is going to happen. The miners won't mine on a shorter chain, they will follow the longest chain period. The whole system is controlled by miners regardless of what devs and investors think of themselves. The only power and the only votes that count are those of the miners.

Don't you remember the "general market behavior" of bitcoin from November 2013?


What if this time it's *not* different?
There is no Willy this time.

Were you watching OkCoin a couple days ago?
455  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: July 11, 2015, 04:05:54 PM
Just a little shakeout to offload the bears.

A healthy retrace.  We're coiling. Like a spring. 

This is a great arbitrage opportunity.
http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=BITCOIN-XBT.ST still trading at $286 = 1 BTC

How do you buy from that stockholm exchange thingy?

Ok, everyone take a break and meet back in 10 minutes for round 2.

The ETN is having its biggest day yet and the trading day is just beginning.

Where is the arbitrage? $60-$100 spread between exchanges!!!
459  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: July 10, 2015, 09:19:04 AM
$315 on Okcoin. Looks like a Willy Bot.  Shorters getting rekt?  Cascading margin calls on 20x leverage?
460  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: July 10, 2015, 09:12:10 AM
Nice to see BTC-e along for the ride. China still leading the way.

EDIT: Okcoin just passed $300.
