it's priced in.
4.5% of all bitcoins ever to exist are acquired by a single scammer and prices are 93% of the ATH.
That's not priced in.

What's price in is that he might be able to dump. All bets are off if/when it is determined that he can and will.

What's not priced in is that a scam of this magnitude sends a sign that Bitcoin hasn't evolved out of the scummy clusterfuck it was two years ago at all.

BTCe will get shut down eventually and probably take the entire altcoin scene with it.
By whom?
1563  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: December 03, 2013, 09:26:55 PM
where do you think he will sell that amount of Bitcoin, all exchanges are AML and KYC compliants even BTC-e is, when he deposit them to the exchange they will bust his ass
BTC-e compliant, lol

believe it or not yes you cannot deposit or withdraw FIAT without providing an issued ID by your government and a prove of residence

I did just that several times.

3) the operator of sheep market was an amateur. He has been doxed. Probably he will end up behind bars soon, and in any case he will have a hard time cashing out the coins. Look at how he is desperately trying to launder them: it's pathetic and amateurish, you just cannot launder 100k coins as he is trying to do because there aren't another 100k from other users to mix you coins with. Either he cashes out in small chunks from localbitcoins, either he is caught very soon.

What if he boldly sell them on an exchange? Who's gonna stop it? Who will sue him?
And why should he be in any hurry to dump?

I like how people who try to appear even more whacked out of their minds accuse him of working for "the enemy". It's really some pandemonium of paranoia, everybody in the conspiracy scene accuses everybody else to be part of THEM. At the worst conspiracy theorists engage in self censorship and taboos, all in all its a toxic mixture of delusion and hypocrisy.

And the very worst part it's very much like Bitcoin.

Right on Brother!

Seriously who cares what an insane person like Alex Jones thinks, it's like arguing back in the 2004 election (Bush vs Kerry) which candidate Osama-Bin-Laden wanted to win so voters could vote for the OTHER guy (cause obviously the other guy would be better!).  You can not come to a correct conclusion by simply inverting the solution of a crazy person, that is not how logic works.  Crazy or stupids peoples opinions are not the opposite of correct they are just MEANINGLESS.

Hmm you're right.
But still every time I see somebody on the forum call for the death of visa/paypal, put Bernake on an assassination market and I read things like "The dollar is crashing against bitcoin." it cranks me up. The only way for me to deal with that is making fun of em, that is what keeps me here and that's why I am still "supporting" Bitcoin in my own way.

Yea, because a cryptocurrency starting from scratch at $0 can get to billions in valuation any other way? Wink
Billions of dollars isn't the goal. It would be moronic to have 21mil units and have to rely on subunits for anything on purpose.
Besides any unbounded function eventually reaches infinity. Oh and no exponent can rise zero to anything other than zero 0*x^2^2 is still zero.
haha, right, it is not going to follow exponential growth forever, and going from $0 to $.01 per 5000 BTC or whatever was a special event in and of itself. But why is it moronic to have 21mil units? We will be transacting in millibits by then.

Regarding your signature, do you really believe making bitcoin illegal would stop it? It would be to be made illegal in dozens of countries at least. How quickly do you think this needs to be done to avoid catastrophe?

It never was really zero, even with only satoshi and gavin on the network it still was worth a minute amount to them because they kept spending electricity to generate them.
Millibits are fractions, and that is moronic, and only a hardline Bitcoiner can think otherwise, ask anybody else if they want to use milli, micro, nano or femto-somthings. But that's beside the point, the point is if you create a unit of measure you would want it as close to real world applications as possible. And as it turns out that Bitcoin was made to work for a small community of enthusiasts for self-reliance. What actually happened a broad public came to use it and the way they have adopted it it makes them even more dependent.
This is also in tune with the software architecture of the main client.

My signature is just my way of making fun of the ridiculous notion that bitcoin would ever be a threat to the status quo.

If cashout issues are the reason for these prices Bitcoin is doomed.

Is there a list of things that could happen that doesn't result in Bitcoin being doomed in your mind?

Sure, but it's hard for me to think of anything which includes double exponential price increases.

those numbers look pretty good to me. i'm not sure why they'd cook up their numbers, as it would only cause more of a liability towards them down the road.
Cheating is done when you think you don't get caught.

And the very worst part it's very much like Bitcoin.

Can you explain how being a super-paranoid conspiracy nut is very much like following a pre-defined and agreed-upon mathematical protocol? Because  Tongue

Maybe you mean it's typical of the type of people to be attracted to Bitcoin? Because... maybe? But bitcoin is just inert software running on series of tubes.

Not Bitcoin itself dummy Smiley
bitcointalk and /r/bitcoin

Things like hating on paypal/credit card companies/banks are the same fight against windmills as blaiming NWO/Illuminati/Bilderbergers/Zionists.
Ripple/Altcoins are a taboo with hardline Bitcoin supporters as certain theories are amongst other camps, for instance WTC space lasers vs nano thermite
1576  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Best Altcoins to speculate on.. on: December 02, 2013, 07:24:37 PM
In the end after the 55% of XRP has been given away I think there will be more people working at ripplelabs than own 45% of all Bitcoins.
1577  Economy / Speculation / Re: Uncle... on: December 02, 2013, 07:22:06 PM
Yes it's silly, much like suggesting Bitcoin as a hedge of inflation, saying "The dollar has fallen against Bitcoin" or things like that.

people are really whacked out. i sold something on ebay and the buyer once left an infowars.com link on my feedback. i think some people are just so bored out of their minds that they need to think up wild conspiracy theories, and alex jones caters to that. some people just listen to him because it's funny/interesting to see whacked out people, so it's a win/win for him.

i have to admit, i found this part really entertaining and funny http://youtu.be/6vDrimfbEOE?t=1m26s

I can't really stand raw unedited AJ bullshit anymore. I very much enjoy this guys compilations though:
