Someone actually observing walls on the wall observer thread?? 

I see two around 500 coins each @ 237.62 and 61

I absolutely believe they will become collectors. I still have a few block erupters on hand with original casing that I expect to have some decent value in 10+ years.

You're totally right, it is super small for a newbie, but at least a newbie running the 777 sig campaign could make more free bitcoin than having to deal with faucets.  I tried the 777 campaign for a while, it was a little disorganized but it was okay overall.

Okay I think I see where your confusion is.
So for your cold storage address all you need is the public key aka bitcoin address. This can be generated completely offline, the only thing you need to do is then go to your hot wallet and send coins to that cold address you just created. Now your coins are in an address where the private key has never seen the internet. The transaction will be on the blockchain, and everyone running a node will know that you sent bitcoin to that address.

Or maybe they are waiting for clear regulation. Why invest big money if you don't know how it will be regulated or treated legally?

If we look at the big players likes banks and companies like IBM and paypal, this is only the beginning. Bitcoin may seem like old news to a lot of techies but for the rest of the world it's still in the very early developing stages. Enjoy the low prices while you can.

LOL "Lloyd, you can't triple bottom a double bottom. You can't triple bottom a double bottom!"

Really, kinda looks like "the dude" to me

Exactly. I'm surprised how many people think they have "cold storage" just because it isn't readily connected to the internet.

Never let your private key touch an internet connected machine. If you spend from your cold wallet, it's no longer cold and you should move your remaining coins to a new cold address. Personally, I generate my cold addresses with dice, and then convert that base 6 key offline so I can get the public address. The private key is never saved or printed or connected to the internet, I have my private key written in my 99 dice rolls.

Huobi leading the charge at $241

Finex making a run for $240?

I was just looking at the chart and saying typical pump and dump. Wasn't aware of the volume.

I don't think it will be so black and white. If the price can not support the amount the miner's want after the halving there will be a large falling out. Bitcoin may become even more niche than it already is but there will always be die hards out there that will continue to use bitcoin and mine for free. Who knows maybe it will even spring back stronger than before after bitcoin proves that it can't be killed.

LOL typical altcoin pump and dump. Price starts to rise and bamm the dev sells all their premined coin for the precious BTC.

I think there needs to be more bitcoin start-ups that don't use the word "bit", "coin", "block" or "chain".

YIKES!! Storing almost 4 BTC on multibit?? I've had so many issues with multibit, I wont trust much more than 0.1 on there. It's quick and easy to use, but I only use it for playing around money.

Yea comment period ended 2 weeks ago so give them a few months to come up with something official. That's what the winkies are waiting for is more regulation.

Yea that's on windows

"A merchant can typically open a standard PayPal account and begin accepting payments through PayPal within a few minutes. Most online or mobile merchants can onboard quickly and are not required to invest in new or specialized hardware. Our Payments Platform supports growth with a variety of value-added services designed to help businesses of all sizes manage their cash flow, invoice clients, pay bills, and reduce the need for merchants to receive and store sensitive customer financial information. For our standard service, we do not charge merchants setup or recurring fees. A merchant can also integrate with Braintree to begin accepting payments with credit or debit cards, PayPal, Venmo, digital currencies such as Bitcoin, or other payment solutions with a single integration."

Nice, but will paypal integration really help bitcoin?
I like the CEO of Overstock who recently said that there will soon be bitcoin only deals on their website. 20% off only if you pay in bitcoin.

Unfortunately no one can predict the future. If bitcoin becomes widely adopted and a huge success then the price will very likely rise a great deal due to simple supply and demand.
