Good cartoon. Did you draw it yourself? I've always wished I could draw cartoons, I'm useless.
The names of the ships have been photoshopped that's all Here is the original, thanks to Augusto Croppo!  |

I had an inspiration, I know most of you probably won't find it funny but here it is anyway.  |

That pic would be appropriate if the rope were tied to the other broken- off half of the same sinking ship.e:  |

Yes, soon the price will go up or down
Nice catch
It might also go sideways all weekend!  Bitcoin is going down to 100$ When? SOON TM |

I can't wait to see if they coincidentally lost half their Bitcoins. How do you call people who wish ill to others just for the heck of it? Is "asshole" appropriate? I'll prefer Drama Junkie, but asshole is also appropriate. |

From what I read most of the forum thinks that mtgox is lying their customers straight in the face. I wonder if this is true. I also wonder how many of you guys having strong opinions about them actually are still within their costumer base... The actual statement reads: Statement Regarding BTC Withdrawal Delays Tokyo - JAPAN - February 07, 2014
Dear MtGox Customers,
In our efforts to resolve the issue being encountered by various bitcoin withdrawals, it was determined that the increase in the flow of withdrawal requests has hindered our efforts on a technical level. To understand the issue thoroughly, the system needs to be in a static state.
In order for our team to resolve the withdrawal issue it is necessary for a temporarily pause on all withdrawal requests to obtain a clear technical view of the current processes.
We apologize for the sudden short notice. All bitcoin withdrawal requests will be on pause, and the withdrawals in the system will be returned to your MtGox wallet and can be reinitiated once the issue is resolved. The trading platform will perform as usual for the needs of our customers.
Our team will resolve this problem as soon as possible and will provide an update on Monday, February 10, 2014 (JST).
We deeply apologize for the inconvenience caused, and thank you for your kind support and considerations.
Sincerely,
The MtGox Team |

I'm almost willing to bet that Monday will come , withdraws will resume , and people panicking now will just look on how Gox trolled them again , and got their coins at half price after selling them at +20%.

haha I hope gox takes all fiat and dump all coins on bitstamp and then run like hell. It has been so long since the last major scam, it's about time.

What baloney, trading Bitcoins is easy as fuck. Just compare how real markets look like on real currency pairs in the forex market.

Also user masterluc already posted that 'news' long before that statement.

People demanding that you sell are like bullies demanding your lunch money, give them a bloody nose and tell them to fuck off.
+1 lol who 'demands' anything? |

the only action possible would be contrary to the chosen strategy/ IE to sell. Not quite. Buy, sell, and hodl - all 3 possible short-term strategies are technically available to me. Buying would increase the risks, though, and selling at this point is pointless. So I choose to hodl. Practically you can, probably if you aren't some high tier management type only sell - in any amount that matters, if you got in somewhat recently. Oh and please pay attention to the debate, to avoid out of context quoting. |

did anybody say Buttcoin yet?

Hodling is a way of saying "I believe this thing has a potential to go way up, long term, and I prefer to stay away from the risks and the troubles of day trading".
And you know what? No matter what you, EM, say over here, no matter if the price changes anywhere within the +- 80% of the current one, I still believe this thing has a potential to go up, and I still don't want to get involved with day trading. "HODL!!!" is a battle cry, to cope with emotional aspects of this long-term strategy. Because it does feel scary sometimes, but these feelings have nothing to do with the strategy or reality, they are inherited from the apes who were trained by predators into short-term thinking. With that being said,
HODL!!!1
This is entirely right. And what I have pointed out is just the subconscious or suppressed emotional aspect of that "battle cry". It happens to cope with the requirement of inaction, because the only action possible would be contrary to the chosen strategy/ IE to sell. |

This results in the current situation: Everybody is sitting on their capital gains and spam the HODL bullshit all over the forum in the hopes that other people don't realize their gains.
That's some hubris you've got there, telling me (part of everybody) why I am involved with Bitcoin. Inevitably, this hubris will collapse.  Out of context it certainly looks that way. What is the context? The speculation forum? Speculation and idealism aren't mutually exclusive!  The context of the rest of my post. Just for you: everbodymost people spamming HODL, I don't say all of them, necessarily there might be a few who do it for various other reasons, but when it comes down to it, on the subconscious level I think it is true for the vast majority. I think you have a fair point here, but don't forget about the people, who don't want to "realize" any capital gains into fiat, because they have grown to trust BTC more than fiat. So they would rather have a big chunk of their long-term wealth parked in BTC than to sell part of it and do...what exactly with it? Personally unless I need some funds for unforeseen expenditures or BTC appreciates so much that it becomes an uncomfortably large portion of my net wealth I see no reason to sell. Spending it is another matter, though. You too, what I am saying is that even those people subconsciously have the same issue. Either way I doubt many of them posted "HODL" even once. |
