Except Tim Cook sucks.

We have some real veterans *cough* trading with only one indicator so I expect a lot of depression around here.

Source for this data?

Also, we have people trying to call the top of this rally all the way up to $30. The psychology is changing.

When Apple goes open-source, becomes anti-government and announces iCoin.

John 17:

"That they all may be one, as thou, Father, in me, and I in thee; that they also may be one in us; that the world may believe that thou hast sent me."

Also, I think the biblical god tried to tell the people they were god when he told Moses his name was "I AM".

Exodus 3:

God said to Moses, “I am who I am. This is what you are to say to the Israelites: ‘"I AM" has sent me to you.’”

However this has been treated as heresy and subversion for the longest time. Some Jews have gone as far as barring people from saying the verse as intended.

Mt. Gox would eventually have to close if the US passed sanctions on Bitcoin transactions due to Japan's relationship with the US.

The price would crash at least 10% and likely much further. The price may return to its previous norm if a Russian or other offshore exchange took Mt. Gox's place.

Bitcoin will always be in use with or without an exchange.

I concur with this analysis.

70% of the land in Israel is owned by the Rothschild banking dynasty whom founded central banking as we know it by making loans to governments. IIRC, the Rothschild family was part of the founding of the current Israeli state.

Knowing that, it makes sense to associate Israel with banking.

"After the death of James Jacob de Rothschild in 1868, Alphonse Rothschild, his eldest son, who took over the management of the family bank, was the most active in support for Eretz Israel.[30] The Rothschild family archives show that during the 1870s the family contributed nearly 500,000 francs per year on behalf of Eastern Jewry to the Alliance Israélite Universelle.[31] Baron Edmond James de Rothschild, James Jacob de Rothschild's youngest son was a patron of the first settlement in Palestine at Rishon-LeZion, and bought from Ottoman landlords parts of the land which now makes up present-day Israel. In 1924, he established the Palestine Jewish Colonization Association (PICA), which acquired more than 125,000 acres (22,36 km²) of land and set up business ventures.[32] In Tel Aviv, he has a road, Rothschild Boulevard, named after him as well as various localities throughout Israel which he assisted in founding including Metulla, Zikhron Ya'akov, Rishon Lezion, and Rosh Pina. A park in Boulogne-Billancourt, Paris, the Parc Edmond de Rothschild (Edmond de Rothschild Park) is also named after its founder.[33] The Rothschilds also played a significant part in the funding of Israel's governmental infrastructure. James A. de Rothschild financed the Knesset building as a gift to the State of Israel[34] and the Supreme Court of Israel building was donated to Israel by Dorothy de Rothschild.[35] Outside the President's Chamber is displayed the letter Mrs. Rothschild wrote to the then current Prime Minister Shimon Peres expressing her intention to donate a new building for the Supreme Court."

Yep, they weren't only part of it, they pretty much launched it out-of-pocket.

$19 is a safe bet.

Last call. Everyone else has already taken their seats.

A friend linked me to this video that can induce hypnosis. It guides you through an imaginary door in a deeply relaxed state that should purportedly bring back a memory of "your most recent previous life". After the video, stories like this show up:

"Mine sucked.

Born at the turn of the century in Czechoslovakia. My father was killed during WWI. I developed a bit of a complex over it because I broke my leg as a kid, and wasn't able to go off to fight due to a permanent limp. My family grew up pretty poor due to not having my father around, and I ended up supporting them for the most part. I worked for the local (district) law enforcement, probably to satisfy my need for paramilitary service. I took my work pretty seriously and rose to relative importance rather quickly. I wasn't very social or anything, though, so I spent most of my money spoiling my nieces/nephews.

My past self kind of disappointed me, though, as I didn't help out my best friend during the Nazi occupation. He was an artist, and didn't hide his homosexuality. My men and I went to his house (along with others) with the Germans, and my men saw that I was upset when they went to his house. I knew that they would fight at that point if I asked them to, but I just went along with the Germans. I didn't have any family or anything, so I think it was just wanting to ensure that I stayed on track to be prominent that I did that. He ended up dying in a concentration camp, which helped me develop into a bitter old man.

I sort of redeemed myself when the Soviets came to power, though."

and

"This was pretty amazing. I remembered being a little inuit girl in Alaska. I think it was the 1920's I fell through some ice as a child and was sick for most of my teen years. I married an american man who was never around. I think he worked at a college. he might have died young. I died as an old woman I fell down outside somewhere and hit my head. I awoke only for a moment to find myself in a comfy but unfamiliar bed before passing on. I remember death being a pretty nice experience."

So, want to give it a try and report back? I am having a hard time getting relaxed and seeing something because I'm addicted to coffee.

Yes, the orderbook does not encompass the sentiment of the entire market. It does indicate some since there is a cost associated with putting funds on it. Even intentional manipulation of the data can be used as an indicator.

Again, using only a single indicator--including the orderbook--is not a safe way to trade. All data should be considered.

The orderbook can indicate demand but it can also have misleading information, which is what you are trying to say. That in itself does not prove demand cannot be indicated. Even the disingenuous information may indicate a greater truth. While it is not reliable information, it is information.

Relying on one indicator is not a reliable way to trade. Especially in a small market such as Bitcoin. The orderbook still indicates significant demand that is only being held stagnant by Mt. Gox logistical issues: Money transfers are being delayed.

It could only do more harm than good. The federal government has no incentive to endorse an alternative currency.

The esoteric school of thought I believe baron was referring to is one where we are essentially "god" or are directly of "god": We choose our lives and the terms of our existence through whatever means before our birth on this plane of existence. Thus, any transgressions against our perceived happiness or well-being have already been accepted by ourselves, random or otherwise.

Feel free to correct me, Baron, if I am misinterpreting your statement.  

It looks like our top is going to be around $19 judging by a conservative view of the orderbook.

Such thinking gives freedom a whole new meaning--yet it is very liberating. Victimization becomes a foreign concept in such a world.  

Haha, will do! Great stuff. I've been contemplating a more simplistic view of this theory and I knew this had to be written somewhere. And I now see that is the case.

Thanks!
