Det var da veldig så bråkjekk. Han postet i går, og det var da programmet ble sendt.

One thing: Please come up with arguments which haven't been refuted many times already.

You can get the numbers from Bitcoin Charts by using load raw data on the charts page.

Unless you can prove it with numbers you are probably just seeing what you want to see. The mind is great at seeing patterns that aren't really there. This is just the kind of speculation that Pirateat40 encouraged among his followers. No need to explain what you're doing if they already think they know.

Did the Chinese team go on strike yesterday? They don't have bank holiday in China.

Most of the alt coins provide the same thing, which means their fundamental value is the same as that of Bitcoin. The problem isn't Buffett's claim, it's that a lot of the Bitcoin advocates don't understand what the expression fundamental value means.

Of course they would. It's a great deal for them to pay $1000 if it gives them an extra $2000 in deposits.

As anyone who have tried doing some serious trading knows, you can't just adapt away from the drastically varying Bitcoin market conditions and keep the profits. Of course if you're just making them up it's much easier to give the customers the numbers they want. I'm sure that in the next ponzi he starts he'll incorporate some of the criticism he's gotten while running this one. It's just too hard to do it now and still pretend to be a real business. For instance I'm pretty sure next time he'll say he's running bots, because claiming to do it manually is just silly.

Which is just one of many claims which makes no sense. If they're not using bots they will be eaten alive by those who do. Any order they put up which would make a profit would be undercut or outbid in seconds or less. If the price changes quickly their orders would lead to arbitrage opportunities, which the bots would exploit before BT had a chance to cancel them.

As for the representatives; Sorry, but they clearly have no other information than what they're fed by someone they have never met and have no idea who is. That's just the same as everyone else.

Jo, det er en kjent sak i bransjen at søket man får på google.com er bedre enn Google-søket de lar andre nettsteder implementere i eget skin. Custom Search er i tillegg helt uavhengig av det vanlige søket. Det virker ikke som den har indeksert akkurat den siden, men man kan finne mange andre Bitcoinartikler ved å gjøre spesifikke søk, f.eks. bitcoin virtuell.

For øvrig bruker jeg http://e24.no/siste, mye mer oversiktlig.

E24 bruker Google Custom Search til internsøket, så grunnen er nok at søket Google tilbyr eksterne å bruke gir mye dårligere relevans enn det de bruker selv.

Aksjeselskap, same as Inc. or Ltd.

You are terrible at estimating odds.

Sure, but none of the people that turn up for these events are actually involved in the running of BT, they are just people hired to represent them. The fact that BT makes so much effort to appear legitimate without actually showing their faces just makes it more suspicious.

They didn't give a date this time either that I know of. The closest thing they've come to a date was when they promised to announce the company which should audit them "probably tomorrow" on July 17., but of course they never came through. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=527395.msg7899116#msg7899116

It's really fascinating how anybody can still believe it's not a scam. Most likely many of their victims won't believe it's a fraud even after they collapse if they come up with a somewhat decent excuse. If they're really lucky BTC-e or some other shady exchange will fold soon, and then they can blame it on that.

No, it's "give us yet another month before you start nagging us about the audit again". It's not like they haven't promised that the audit is coming RSN before.

If they could they would have done it a long time ago, but they know that if they try to be too specific in their lies they will be exposed by people who actually know the business. Instead they settle for those who will continue to believe in them and send them money as long as there is no definitive evidence to prove they are a scam.

Wow, you must really enjoy building straw men.

The differences between DigitalBTC and Bitcoin-Trader are so large it's ridiculous. Did they more or less promise this revenue in advance, and can you get a part of it by just sending them money? Will it all be paid back in a predictable way as a dividend after a short time? The answers to all the questions are of course no. Their stock price have been very stable since the issuing of stocks, and the stock price is much higher than their balance sheet. They also have outstanding options which dilutes the potential value even more. Real stock markets, companies and profits just don't work the way those who believe in things like Bitcoin-Trader think they do.

Also, the price of bitcoins went from about $450 to about $620 in May, which turns out to 37.7%. You need to really mess up to not make money in those conditions. In their quarterly financial statements they don't tell what their trading desk (which they have renamed Liquidity Desk) have made at all.

Sorry, I didn't see this the first time. Any bank listed on any stock exchange post their financial statements every 3 months. You can just take your pick.
