Here Comes Monday in Japan - Rally Time!

[AtomicTrader]

Monday business hours in Japan will be coming online shortly. New USD transfers to MtGox should start a buying frenzy at these low prices.

[Macho]

yeah, I'm kind of surprised that people are not buying like crazy for these prices ... I'm ALL IN and rocking maybe they just don't have deposited funds like you say ... poor guys

Having traded real currency in the past, I'll be curious to see what happens. I'm still new to this whole thing and this will be my first weekend to actually watch.

[NamelessOne]

Yes, bring on the rally!

I'm a bit surprised that the JPY isn't active on the market since Satoshi Nakamoto was Japanese himself. It's mostly all western currencies being used.

What they need to do is get the JPY listed and get someone to open a virtual 100 yen shop with worldwide shipping. From cell phone straps to kotatsu and everything in between. Willing to bet it would do pretty well.

big test with the US government looking at SilkRoad.

I read Cryptomonicon in 1999 and jumped on the EGold bandwagon...

the US government was sure about to throw a spanner in the spokes
on that one...

this one has a bunch of Gaming fanatics joining the cryptoheads so
we'll see how it goes....

the market is still to illiquid for real trading..$30 to $10 during the weekend
too much...

I will stick to the swiss franc, norwegian krona, aussie dollars, and south african
rand for now....

Still anyone who mined their first bitcoin will have reason to jawbone the market.
it serves as its own means of self-justification

bitcoins are coming back in a big way imo but i don't know for how long

Time to rally and get a nice high selling price for me.

I think i read an article saying his name was a "nom de guerre" (sp?), which is French for pseudonym. I'm not sure if that was accurate though. The article mentioned how the lead developer had never met Satoshi, and I think implication was that "Satoshi" is a fictitious name that someone is hiding behind.

"Satoshi Nakamoto" is a pseudonym. He (or she?) is likely American or British.

[kuro]

i guess, it's a mass pseudonym. it stands for the whole bitcoin community. there are lots of rumors saying that there never was a specific person behind this pseudonym.

I think the short term (say one year) looks great. Uphill battles are inevitable.

JPY is one of the highest inflated currency on Earth based on large monetary values buying goods worth much less. USD is standard currency of the world and it will stay that way for many years to come.

[Morna]

Interesting times ahead that's for sure.
