We are going to FLY through $1000 like butter. Wake me up at $1300-1400.
(then again, I might just be getting overconfident)
No sleeping! We need you piloting the rocket! As far as I am concerned, it's on auto-pilot right now. It's gonna go up no matter what  . |

So you're on btc forum betting on btc price, but the bet is in fiat? Countdown update: less than 3 1/2 days to 1000. $50 away  No. 4 days ago I told everyone that judging by the correction in March, that this correction would break out and hit $1000 by Friday night. And I've just been reminding people to get on the north train ever since. We are going to FLY through $1000 like butter. Wake me up at $1300-1400. (then again, I might just be getting overconfident) |

*Ladies and gentleman, this is your captain speaking. Prepare for lift-off ! *
*Ladies and gentleman, this is your captain speaking. We had some delays because there were bears loose on the runway. They have been taken care of, so relax and enjoy the flight. We hope you will fly with bitcoin airways again* We're flying Virgin, I assume. Same thing nowadays. |

Thanks for listening to our suggestions and sending out email notifications for the maintenance shutdown.
Is this sarcasm? I haven't received any emails. I did. " Hello spaceman_spiff, On the 26th of November, 2013, at 15:00 GMT, Bitfinex will be shutdown for a maintenance operation. This shutdown will be effective for 30 minutes. Thank you for your comprehension -- Best regards The Bitfinex team " |

The longer we stay in this price range, the sooner the bears start buying.
That's what bulls say. Bears say that the longer we stay in this price range, whales start dumping. Yeah, but the difference is the bulls are right . |

heard about it in june 2011 and bought right into the bubble at about 20. after crash mtgox got hacked, my account compromised and i thought bitcoin was some fkn scam and forgot all about it until march 2013. gox had kept my initial 100 btc all those years and gave it back to me upon request end of march 2013  . next bubble. experienced horrors of panic sells, open orders on gox while unable to login, but came out clean. decided to invest big after the crash. way too optimistic i managed to buy at 130, which was the top before it slowly crumbled all the way down to 69. i had "lost" more than 40 % of the larger investment. horrible summer days. felt so relieved when it came back to 130 end of august. next "bubble" (now): the coins are in cold storage. sold 5% of stash slightly above 800. will sell another 5% around 1600. as anyone elses, my story is full of missed opportunities. would i have just bought a few days before or after i actually did in 2011... would i have just have known about this forum earlier then march 2013.... would i have just bought in big not at this fkn top.... i am really thankful to witness this thing. great show. Sounds to me like you are a winner. Almost everybody has a "what if" story. |

Yet I have to see the big drop to 300-500 that so many oldtimers here seem to be expecting
With so many expecting it, it may never happen. many are also expecting a rise And so we continue to do nothing.... Haven't we done enough?  I think so yes. Very healthy that we take a breather here. I don't expect it to last until the end of the week though... |

Funny to watch bear and bull fight it out both in the market and in this thread. |

Does anyone know if there is something like Gyft for Europe? Can't seem to find any.

How is it that online wallets are so vulnerable to thefts? Do they all have the same vulnerability which can't be fixed or something?
The common vulnerability is that they are third parties which hold bitcoins on behalf of other people. It can never be fixed other than convincing people to never let third parties hold their bitcoins for them, but there are ways to make online wallets less unsafe. is there a safer option (other than paper wallets) where they don't have to download the whole blockchain? edit: sorry OT I am guessing Multibit (lightweight client, you control your own wallet files --> so put a password on it, and make sure your computer isn't full of viruses) |

I can't help but keep seeing the pennant formation forming.
A few days, a week, even, and we may well get another 50-100%+ launch.
All of the exchanges seem to support, and I know I'm not the only one seeing this.
I concur. *Ladies and gentleman, this is your captain speaking. Prepare for lift-off ! * Max Keiser has been pushing litecoin a bit lately. :/
Keiser is a pumper. |

"Bitcoin doesn't have intrinsic value".
Wrong: Bitcoin is the monetisation of proof of work.
I disagree here. Bitcoin doesn't derive its value from the work. You can come up with all kinds of useless work, that doesn't give the work a value. The proof of work system functions to prevent double-spending, and as a fair way of distributing the new coins. My problem with the die-hard precious metals crowd is that they are so absolutely certain their method of wealth storage is forever unchanging and static.
Nothing is. Hell, we admit that perhaps another blockchain could surpass Bitcoin - or that we fork in radical ways that make it much different than it is currently. We don't claim that Bitcoin, as it exists now, will be the absolute same 20 years into the future.
I think that is the key difference, that we're willing to adapt and understand that new ideas come along to be integrated or renounced, whatever the case may be. It makes Bitcoin more robust, as a result.
When I hear a die-hard goldbug ranting about how gold has had its thousands-of-years perfect run, I can only think "all good things do come to an end, you know". Gold isn't perfect. All it would take is another element of perceived scarcity, or perhaps a glut of it being found or towed into orbit from a nearby asteroid belt. That's about it.
But no, they're so sure....
+1, I used to be a huge PM bull, but if bitcoin really takes off and remains the top crypto for the forseeable future, it is just better (although I might be overlooking certain niches atm). |

Is there any plans to increase the Total Insurance Fund? Currently it is at $52k USD which isn't too much with the amount that is being lent.

Put your bids in the $100-200 range.
You're a trier Walsoraj, I'll give you that Not certain it will happen within the next 24hrs, but by Friday for sure! By Friday eh? OK, I'll have you a little wager it's still above $500 by Friday midnight GMT. The loser has to post a self-composed poem describing what a bad trader they are? $201 - $499 and we are both safe. I like this bet, very creative . |

If manufacturers in China start asking for BTC instead of USD, they can convert to Renminbi at 20% markup on Chinese exchanges.
Very significant observation. Sooner or later, that spread will lure someone in. And the network/lemming effect will take care of the rest. That's assuming the arbitrage opportunities remain that way. |
