We are here to help each other as a community. We already had a member from another signature campaign, coming in here, and helping others to find a open slot in a campaign. So let's help, where we can. Honestly, the best thing you can do is just refresh the Services forum a few times a day. There is always a slot opening up here and there -- but you must be vigilant to catch it. All of the campaigns are limited now.

Economy / Speculation / Re: POLL: Do you still expect a big rally in the next 60 days?

There's no reason for the price to drop again, I'm expecting this rally for sure.
What's the reason for it to rise, at least in the short term? We need new money. For now, we have traders passing back and forth the same money, with merchants and miners adding downwards pressure. When and why will we see new demand to combat that? Sure, if big institutional investors and funds start changing the supply landscape (by buying all off-exchange coins available), price will follow. But I don't see any indication of that. Where's that SecondMarket thread? They've been pretty inactive, right?

Good, still need to get my escrow back from ms.escrow but it will be alright.
It seems escrow.ms has been quite busy as of late, and is no longer offering free escrow. Next time, you may consider devthedev or monbux -- they are both quite active on the forums. Cheers.

Looks like imgur got DMCA'd.. Sorry folks!
Also 6000+ plus people viewed this post / the link while it was up and not a SINGLE donation to the address.. Shame on you.
Is that address from the original leaker on 4Chan? Or you? This stuff was leaked all over the internet. Why would anyone send a donation to you simply for posting the link? It boggles my mind these days how everyone expects something for nothing.

The infamous DanV of Tradingview recently drew a Bitfinex chart where he predicted $100~ ... I think that is his lowest prediction yet. It's not Prof. Bitcorn level apocalypse, but it's getting there. Too bad I didn't save the link....
I am pretty bearish myself at the moment, but $100 sounds like total bullshit. You gotta take into account this: "who is gonna SELL his BTCs for 300$ - $200 - 100$"? Will there still be more people selling BTC for that kinda cheap price than people wanting to buy at that price?I highly doubt it. Well, I suppose in 2011 it went from $32 to $2. I know, I know, different time, different fundamentals. But while things are looking good for the fundamentals of BTC infrastructure (start-ups, merchants, funds), short/mid term price may be different entirely. Hypothetical: How do you think people will feel if we break below $260s? That never happened before (breaking below previous ATH). If people start thinking "bitcoin is dead" for real, you might be surprised what they are willing to sell for.

Not sure if "Off-topic" is the best place for this.... maybe "Trading Discussion."
Anyway, first and foremost, a real-time, non-lagging trade engine. Non-buggy platform is a must. Easy-to-use interface. Trading options -- stop orders, please. Regular auditing. Good cold storage protocols. Fast fiat withdrawals. More, but not off the top of my head.

If you expect a pump because of this you will probably be disappointed
True. Everyone has known about this for some time.... just seems like non-news at this point. And in this kind of ugly down trend, good news tends not to do much anyway. Is trading happening?

Why is it that so many newbies show up here, assuming that the obvious way to go is mining? Bitcoins have a price -- does it not occur to anyone that simply buying may be a better investment strategy than mining?
Mining is very speculative and capital-intensive.

Hello so i am new to this completely i am doing the bitvisitor crap for probably 4 hours now lol just to see if my wallet works.. i am using electrum wallet and dont really know what to set the transaction fee to? it is currently set to .0002 btc w.e that means.. was wondering what the best site to buy bitcoins is. Where i can buy like 60$ worth but no clue if it would even go into my wallet was wondering if anyone could donate a dollars worth to see if it shows up? my recieveing code is 1Fext11s59pv6n7y79p6ZiWThFDNZ7pDYc I hope im learning this right :/
If you've managed to get a transaction out of Bitvisitor, I'd leave it at that. What a waste of time. As far as sites to buy, where are you located? It depends on your preferences. If you want to buy relatively instantly, Localbitcoins for cash may be best. If you are in the US, Coinbase is very convenient. Otherwise, there are exchanges like Bitstamp, BTCE and Bitfinex. But if you're just here to beg.... good luck to you.

in case of alien invasion, buy bitcoins
That sounds like a brilliant plan. Do tell me more! It really depends on the type of alien. Some of the grey aliens -- zeta reticuli or whatever -- they're not friendly. You better just hope they aren't interested in messing with you. Humans are pretty primitive in comparison.

The internet is that new land of opportunity. Leave your oppressive state and find freedom wherever it may exist for you.
What do you mean exactly, in reference to the internet? I'm intrigued by your comment, but I'm feeling sort of trolled right now. I think the point is that people can post/write anything they want on the internet. They have more or less complete freedom of speech with very few exceptions. Yeah, well, if that's it, then woopty doo. The long arm of the US government is long. The internet's great for many things -- and potentially it could allow people to organize to achieve great change. Unfortunately, I see people becoming only more mind numbingly ignorant even as the internet becomes more prevalent.

Any thoughts about Bitcoin replacing one of the extremely volatile currencies of a small country?
What fiat currency is more volatile than BTC? None that I can think of. Sure, during historic times of hyperinflation, etc. But just look at the history of BTC. We can't even discuss it as a currency until it stops being so volatile.

Strong private property rights are the most important thing in an economy.
Strong private property rights will lead to strong wealth inequality and collapse of the system in final. History proved this axiom many times! Agreed, this is the general course of things, historically. The concentration of wealth entailed by private property needs to be enforced by a state, whether public or private. Violent upheaval is the usual result.
