damn you crazy BTC. I give up trying to sell high buy low, all I end up doing is sell high, buy higher.
After extensive calculation and analysis, I designed a new strategy. Now I buy high and hold then buy higher and hold. Works pretty good thus far.

This really is the best way to go.

I occasionally redistribute several of my coins at discounted prices, people out there need to use it to grow.

Very generous of you Smiley  I prefer to redistribute my coins by buying goods/services with BTC

That has always been my experience too.

I am nervous, quite nervous, by old-time market standard the bubble has become way too hot to not bust, but again, this kind of growth is already beyond what could be expected from the old-time markets, so who knows.

I think you've stumbled upon the biggest reason we cannot predict bitcoin.

There has been no precedent and unlikely to be one ever again.

I owed $15 to this girl I am hooking up with, and she was excited to get 0.3 bitcoins instead! She said she was gonna use it to pay for her kids to go to college (mostly jokingly lol)

This must mean we are in a bubble  Cheesy

I think you mean it jokingly, but that is really the height of bear logic.

X happens, therefore bubble.
1146  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer - MtGoxUSD wall movement tracker on: March 21, 2013, 01:25:38 AM
another 400% and that's it, right?

or 4000%

LTC - the coin for buying BTC.
1148  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer - MtGoxUSD wall movement tracker on: March 21, 2013, 12:51:53 AM
Lol, the bids total already going up a decent amount.  All people who were trying to pretend play day-trader.
1149  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer - MtGoxUSD wall movement tracker on: March 21, 2013, 12:36:01 AM
Standing bids are about 7mil USD and there are only 50k BTC for sale.

This is pretty close to where we started the day minus that huge  buy earlier.  This indicates, you guessed it, more fuel for the rocket.

Also, today was a bank holiday for Japan! I'm not sure why this is important, but I've heard that a couple times today so why not.

If you think there's down pressure I feel bad for you son.

I got 99 problems but a bear ain't one.

We need to come up with a term for skittish bulls.   "Oh no, the price is down 1% after going up 20%! SKY IS FALLING SKY IS...wait...it's back up? TO THE MOOOOOOOOOON!"

Also, it pleases me immensely to see all the bears come out of the wood works when this happens as well. Shows just how desperate they really are to pretend to be relevant Cheesy

I am legitimately stunned. I don't repeat myself for the sake of others inability to comprehend. Enjoy your ignorant bliss lol.

Translation: Mad and can't defend position outside of quoting some guy one time.  Super rad. 

I can tell you, I'm not stunned at your inability to defend your position.  I'll accept that and expect you to no longer post the same arguments without additional evidence in this thread.
1153  Economy / Speculation / Re: Thinking about buying? on: March 20, 2013, 10:18:23 PM
I'm waiting until I have money to BUY...which will be soon.....

But the value keeps going way up making the coins more and more expensive.

With the trend going higher and higher, would you buy coins now with the way things are, or is the value going to go back down?

I can tell you my personal experience: I usually by a certain dollar amount per week of bitcoin.  When it hit $10 I was nervous, but bought anyways because that was the plan.  When it his $15 I was nervous, but bought anyway because that was the plan.  Same at $20, $30, $40, ect.  So far, it's worked out for me!

I'll happily carry the burden of nagle.  This party is very probably close to being over.  Everyone should probably prepare for a depressing several years.

You keep using the word "probably". I don't think it means what you think it means.
1155  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Please dont let bitcoinstore fail, your action is needed just about now. on: March 20, 2013, 10:13:13 PM
You asked for evidence and it is abundant enough that clicking a random page gave it to me. I am actually kind of stunned that you seem to not realize this is axiomatic.

You also only address the counter-point I made that cannot be addressed by finding one guy posting one thing on the forum.

So, thus far your mental armory consists of post hoc reasoning, personal attacks, and faulty logic.  Please, I encourage you to continue amusing me.

Also, I'd like to inquire about your signature.  Why say you are a bitcoin lobbyist when you neither understand nor support bitcoin?
1156  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Please dont let bitcoinstore fail, your action is needed just about now. on: March 20, 2013, 10:08:47 PM
I literally picked a random page in this thread and clicked on it:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=151389.80
i rather hold my bitcoins it will rise in value  Grin

Nevermind the fact that if you don't posses the ability to reason this out for yourself then you are hopeless in an economic discussion.

Not proof of a loss sale.  Hardly proof that this one guy represents an over all trend.  Also, that guy is hardly the mental powerhouse you want to be basing an evidence on.  I refer you to look at his post history.

Also, you only admit that you made this argument post hoc.  You came up with the claim then went around searching for evidence.

Anyone else feel that tingly feeling?

Only when I happen to hear Sir Mix-a-lot's "Baby Got Back"

Those aren't necessarily going to offset nice and equal like that. It isn't even likely that the number of sales lost, due to value people are holding out for, will match up the value BTC actually lands at.

You have a couple things in your argument here:
1. You're working from the assumption that bitcoinstore is losing sales from customers not wanting to spend money due to "deflation".  Unless I missed it, you haven't provided any evidence of this outside of just saying that's the case.  It might seem right in your gut, but you are making the claim and thus need to provide some shred of evidence.  And no, you can't base your argument on pure speculation alone because that's not an argument.

2.  You are assuming people aren't smart enough to convert USD to BTC.  If I need to buy a computer and can save 10% value by buying from bitcoinstore with BTC over USD at amazon, I'll just buy some BTC with USD and then make the purchase.  I haven't bought a computer, but I have done this exact thing for other items from a variety of bitcoin stores.

The images are static for now, but I will try to collect some good ones and make them change dynamically depending on market conditions.
I guess I can also rotate the pizza recipes to something spicy or burnt depending on circumstances Smiley

please throw some red pepper on that pizza

Oh I will. Im just not sure if it should show when the price is going through the roof or collapsing Smiley

Hot pepper = market is hot hot hot and going up.

Anchovies = market smells like dead, rotting fish

He didn't support Bitcoin at the time, though.  Maybe that would have made the difference  Grin
If he had the ability to support bitcoin ~8 years before its creation he'd be a near god.
I can't tell if you're explaining the joke or riffing on it.  DAMN YOU, TEXT, AND YOUR LACK OF INTONATION!

I was riffing it I think?  I thought the idea of a younger Al Gore saying "I invented the Internet...AND BITCOIN!" in front of a confused audience was hilarious.  He'd follow this up by saying "Also, remember to google my twitter feed or tumblr"
