Yeesh, this coin is not good for Keiser's reputation AT ALL.

Think about the popularity of cat memes on the internet. This coin could be big!

I see the forum starting to go italic... trolls & socks puppets coming out to play. I guess the price didn't go low enough.

Alt speculation is easier said than done. There are like 5-10 new altcoins per day so it's like watching a spinning roulette wheel. I have a little 3Mh/s scrypt rig (also serves as my office space heater) so I've been mining and playing with alts... between the greed, FUD, and pump & dumps I can't tell what's what. Everyone wants to be the next Satoshi.

And now we have MEOW, another freaking animal coin. This is a house of learned men, not altcoin junkies.

I think the arrogance is simply human emotion translated to forum posts. Nothing wrong with being excited about crypto.

The stance I take is that I'm invested in the technology, bulls and bears are simply definitions from the legacy banking system applied to a technology that has not existed before, though the labels are apt and create a lot of fun if nothing else.

If Bitcoin drops a few hundred dollars, I'll buy some more. If it goes up I'll watch my account grow. It's a win-win. Bears and bulls, join hands.

I agree with you. These newfangled digital currencies are so new and mysterious (cue grandpa Simpson), it's difficult to comprehend what their greater impact will be, years from now. Our brains are not programmed to predict the future. They are throwbacks to an earlier kind of life, and here they are trying to wrap themselves around a bunch of numbers on a blockchain in a digital realm. We are flinging value across the internet, from wallet to wallet, in minutes. Nothing like this has existed before. Blockchain technology can solve so many problems it's not even funny; currency is just one application, and a profitable one at that.

We must consider the daily sentiment compared to the larger picture. Many altcoin miners are selling their freshly minted coins on the market as they mine them. Nothing wrong with that (gots to pay the billz) but I see the same thing happening now as in 2012 and 2013: Shortsightedness leads to greed and fear, leading to selling. I don't mean this to demean those who are speculating on digital currencies' existence, or to question miners' reasons for selling (or holding), I'm just trying to use history as a way to predict the future.

Blah blah blah, adoption goes up, supply and demand blah blah, price goes UP and the world continues to turn. Maybe I haven't been around long enough, but the question is when and not if. Those who believe in the long-term success will have more coins, that is for sure, and those who understand the underlying technology of cryptocurrencies will be ahead of the game.

We were at ~$150 for a reeeeally long time too. Months in fact. There was talk of stability, and finally miners could plan their ROI (or lack thereof). Well, we all know how that turned out

You mean the funds Homeland Security seized from their Dwolla account last summer? Probably not. I had some cash tied up in that (talk about your bad timing); fortunately Gox credited my account anyway.

The lazy English grammar gives it away.

1. We are still early adopters. I tell people this when they say, "Whoa, $800 for a coin is too expensive!" Price is simply a number that reflects supply and demand.

2. I have regretted mining purchases but never bitcoin purchases. Case in point I bought 65 coins back when the price was sub $100 to buy ASIC chips for a DIY mining project. The project fell through but I was able to get a refund, thank god. That was a stressful time--I should have held onto them in the first place. Also think how many people bought now-obsolete mining gear for hundreds of bitcoins before the price shot up to $1000. It's almost too painful to think about.

I hear you, but people used this argument when bitcoins were $100-200.

"A thousand? Not for years, if ever. Where will the money come from? We'd need x amount every day for the price to stay stable."

And here we are at $800 not even 6 months later.

Looks like not much has changed. They were going to implement ACH deposits but now they're not because of their bank.

A quick search indicates it's basically a Radeon 7850/CPU integrated chip. Not sure how that would affect its mining potential, or how hot it would get given the PS4 wasn't designed to be pushed that hard.

I've further confirmed this by quoting your confirmation. Confirmed.

Guys, Gox was "going under" six months ago, and six months before that.

Guess what? They're still here.

Awesome news! There's actually a brick & mortar Tigerdirect in my town.

Bots are people too, trying to make a profit. If you are sure of this, use cryptotrader to program one yourself to outwit the "evil" bots.
