yeaaaah it's important to remember that there are like ... a couple thousand people ... like less than 5000 people ... who were involved in bitcoin in the sub $2 land when it was totally unknown when there was zero press zero exchanges zero merchant acceptance zero infrastructure and zero purpose for it ... and there's like now hundreds of thousands of victims investors now ... so it's critically critically important that those people who own tons of btc for zero investment continue to convince everyone else it's worth *anything* at all ... the vast majority of people who are not the core base super early fanatics have lost ... and lost badly ... simple ... obvious ...
This sums up rather nicely the reason why I often post the phrase "as low as possible for as long as possible" I wish that life were fair. I wish that everyone could be rich. I would like the price to go back to 2 dollars or 2 cents so that everyone could get their "fair share". Unfortunately, life doesn't work that way. We are all responsible for our own decisions. (And, apparently, the decisions of the politicians we elect) Life ain't fair. If you don't like it, tough shit. |

Bitcoin price is pumped for one reason, and one reason only: to make dumping lulzier.
You'll grasp that. Eventually.
So my bitcoins are only worth 10% more than they were worth 2 days ago? Oh noes  ~75% less than it was a year ago, ~50% less than when I first told you this will end in tears  And only 100X higher than when I started this journey. So sad WHERE WERE YOU THEN? LAMB CHOP? WHY DIDN'T YOU SAVE ME FROM MY OWN STUPIDITY WHEN BITCOIN WAS 2 DOLLARS?  |

Bitcoin does not exist for your enjoyment. It does not exist for the benefit of all. It exists because there is a demand for an alternative to the current, corrupt, banking system.
Micro-payments can be left for some other less secure alt-coin or side-chain.
The reason for limiting the size of the block is to maintain the incentive for the miners. This is the key. The Blockchain does not, by itself, solve the Byzantine Generals problem. It is the alignment of incentives that even makes this project possible.
The Blockchain is not infinite, and without the majority of the hashing power, it will not be secure.
Transaction fees should be implemented on a floating, market price, and the block size should remain fixed. (*until there is a reason to increase it which provides a proper profit incentive for the miners to accept such a change*)
Bitcoin is simply too important to fuck with, and your pathetic attempt to fork it will fail.

It will drop under $100.
Correct. LOL! (Not laughing at the sub hundred prediction, laughing at the fact that Mat is still posting in this forum) *well, laughing a little bit at the price too, |

I think $260ish will be the top for now and we'll head back down on a big dump. Maybe that will be it for the bear?
If you really think that, you should be shorting. You'll stand to make a ton of profit and prove all these stupid perma bulls wrong. You know what? Everyone moans and complains about the trolls, but once the price moves up like this, their absence makes this thread a little dull... Wait for the next up trend. Bear trolls will be replaced by train and moon trolls, and everything will be the same with inverted signal You mean like this? Ah screw it, I'm full on bull mode now!  Best of luck everyone! Yup! Guilty as charged! |

5th of Jameson in for the night
logged into bitfinex
taking votes on if I submit a margin short or long wall
SHORT. WE don't have enough shorts yet to squeeze to $350. Shorts actually went DOWN today.  Seriously though, it's getting a bit ridiculous. "As low as possible for as long as possible." Let's get this back under control, people. *edit* totally taking my own book right now, as if it weren't obvious enough  |

And to think, after weeks at 220ish, 260 seemed so far away, it was almost, unthinkable. I, personally, hold out a half-hearted hope for even higher, though recent behavior has taught me to expect the opposite. I'm not sure if bitcoin will allow for the same kind of naked short manipulation that happens regularly in some other markets (if you believe the preachings of GATA and others). It would be a nice story if bitcoin were somehow immune to the manipulations of would-be manipulators; but so long as the exchanges operate as off-chain black boxes, one can never be certain. |

[...] Getting drunk, passing out and waking up richer is working so far.
Much better than getting drunk, passing out, and waking up pregnant! Happy Valentine's wall-observers! |

LMAO Read that shit: http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/2vwjb4/someone_needs_to_do_a_new_bitcoin_ad_campaign/"Ladies if your man doesnt have some bitcoin then he cant handle anything and has no danger sex appeal. He isnt edgy and there is nothing interesting about him.
Someone needs to do a new bitcoin ad campaign promoting these ideas."
Bitcoin created a monster. A cult made of batshit crazy nutjobs (r/bitcoiners are a fine example). Sometimes it's hilarious, then you think about it and you realize it's pretty sad. I nominate Vitalik Butterin for the ad LOL! |

Inevitable, nonetheless.

There's like 400 coins up for $259 in stamp. People dumping already? Jeez! Valentine's day. Red candles for everyone. Looks more like a big green candle to me. Wishful thinking on my part. Green candles are not as romantic as red. What could possibly be more romantic than cheap coins? |

Has anyone interviewed Professor Bitcorn lately about his predictions? Becaus I'd really like some $15 coins and I'd like to know where to get them.
Yeah, I would like to see Prof. Bitcorn interviewed by one of those Bitcoin Experts who predicted 10'000 USD/BTC by the end of 2014. (Even in log scale, they were further off than he was.) Ask Stolfi instead. He says BTC is doomed long term (no date so we will never the wrong)
What was the date again when bitcoin is expected to replace the dollar and send the US government into bankruptcy? It will be sometime within the last 3 months of Obama's tenure. That's just, like, my opinion, man. |

Or so you hope. So funny watching all the "Oh BTC dead crowd" go quiet and make dumb comments.  When did I become part of the BTC is dead crowd. I am just saying that it will likely continue to follow the long term trend until we see a real reversal, but its gotta go sideways for a long long time before a reversal of the long term trend.  I thought the high volume low at 166 was the point of the reversal. So you think we will go lower than 166? |

Technical pump over, back to reality.
Hmmmm ,, so theoretically, if someone had opened a short position at, oh let's say, 249.60... What would be the target to close said position? Theoretically, of course.  |

Lol, you read Zerohedge. They have a gold pumping agenda, there is 10% good stuff and 90% total doom porn crap. Joke of a site. Guilty as charged. I enjoy the anti-establishment sentiment. It's not like I take this stuff as gospel. I read all kinds of stuff. What do you read, I wonder? BTW DeadCoin, How many times has bitcoin "died" since you started trolling these forums? |
