If you can get a rise out of this flatline, do it! Do it now!  

I wonder how long this sideways action can last.

nm, and thanks!

I think I like this Stanislav guy.

Lol, sorry, just do Google search for images of "bear trap" and you will see.

Ok, I will order some. But I think I'm still gonna try air cooling, this thing is ungodly loud.

I really hope you're not just some liquid pro rep 

Think of it like a steel trap. The more you crank it down, the harder it's gonna snap.

Might take longer than you think...
 "the market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent."

It looks to me like someone wants to buy at or near 620

might even be the same guy who was selling at 635 you never know

he might have good margins.

Same deal with mine, just one core though

Has anyone tried just getting rid of all their cooling bullshit and just running this on air?

(I'm thinking cpu tower coolers for each core and a big blower fan blowing across the whole thing...

How big is the area you need to cover? Would normal cpu tower cover it?

Yeah I was watching that for a bit, it certainly looked fishy. Like the guy put up a wall and then every time the price would reach 635 he would just eat up all the bids that creeped into the gap, bringing the price back down 10 bucks.

(Tinfoil hat time)
That sort of behavior feels kinda similar to naked shorts in the gold and silver markets.easy too do with fiat, and when you've got the regulators in your back pocket... slightly harder to do with bitcoin, unless you run a non-transparent exchange.

Looks like that 635 wall is finally gone. Next rest stop at 640?

I'm just glad to see a little glimmer of volatility return.

Though it looks like 620-640 range for the next little while... if we break outside that range then it might get interesting.

Lol, spread is like 10 dollars right now, is like watching a fight between red and green candles 

Perhaps some soothing music to calm frayed nerves?

I've been thinking about counterparty more often lately, not exactly as a coin for investment, but more just thinking about these user-created assets.

I've been thinking that these assets might be very interesting as a speculative tool. As I understand it, the protocol includes the means to trade any counterparty asset for any other.

This seems to allow for a complete abstraction of bitcoin into what could become the currencies that people actually end up using. Everything can be tied back, or tethered to bitcoin, similar to the way that government currencies were once tethered to gold.

I just haven't heard much discussion of xcp in here and if anyone has any strong ideas or feelings about it I'd like to hear them. Thanks.

He reminds me of the professor from atlas shrugged.

(paraphrasing) "This is the last institute of academic learning in the country! We must sacrifice this silly bitcoin idea to protect the interests of the greater good!"

Perhaps monkey has some intuition of farming stop-losses?

I just had to quote this 'cuz it made me grin, and also to tag it in my history  

Maybe someday my grandchildren living on Europa can look back through granddad's old posts and have a bit of a chuckle too?

Lol, I got sick of seeing "system buy limit reached" so I moved most of my balance into Monero this morning at .0036 looks to be holding now at .004.  We'll see if it goes anywhere from here.

Hehe, I wonder...
Did monkey know that xmr was gonna go boom like it did just now?

Lulz, I love how people are using the silk road address as one big trollbox.

I feel bad for that poor lady from Somalia though, I'd have thrown her a few bits if she had only included a donation address, so sad.

^Well said animorex.^

Man I love this thread, much variety.

Thanks, guess I'll keep trying, but it's really frustrating.
