$80 and it is not mtgox

[rpietila]

bitstamp is rather "empty" … hence those spikes to the upside, probably done by not so careful new traders, who just buy without knowing the market depth. 800 coins to $100, btw.

It was me. I started buying yesterday with $130k war chest that cleared 15:52 GMT. The chart ends with my buying of the wall at $80 this morning.

I am not an experienced trader, meaning that I have 15 years of experience but I don't daytrade and generally seldom sell. Never sold a bitcoin. Despite the fact that the market went from a 2-dollar discount to 2-dollar premium compared to Mt.Gox during the spree, I think I did reasonably well. After all, if my math is right, I was a counterparty in 37% of all the trades during the period.

don't make yourself a target. there's skilled hackers around here.

Thanks! It is all going to cold wallet etcetc, and I'm not the biggest fish in the pond. But I already have the experience of gov knocking on my door and confiscating my golds. The making noise in this forum is actually my insurance against further government aggression. If I am silenced, I hope you direct the hell against the ones responsible.

This morning I received an invite to a private view, it has a minotaur on it about to ravish an unsuspecting naked sleeping lady who I guessed must synchronicitly represent either the $80 or $100 bitcoin price, quite appropriate - part man and part bull which used to hang out in the southern Mediterranean island of Crete, near enough to Cyprus. If anyone in Barcelona wishes to go it's next Tuesday Thursday evening the 4th April btw, just let me know.

Not to be pedantic, but that's not a minotaur. That's a satyr: a creature that is half man and half goat. And, yes, satyrs are well known for their libidinous appetites.

Thanks for pointing this out, my mistake, whatever it is it sure looks horny, lol I also got the day of the art show wrong too (stupid Catalan, dijous = Thurs not Tues).

Virtex is at around 83.9 right now.

CaVirtex lead the way for few weeks now.. U$ and CAD$ are almost at par, and Virtex is leading.  Not only in term of price, they have HIM (mining share) and it's now possible to short sell BTC with their service.  They are a serious company, and have solids funds to back all this.

I'm a CaVirtex Fan !
