Perhaps not enough material yet

Personally, I think there's too much material. Not too mention, too many characters. How would you pack the following into a film that could be viewed in one sitting?

  • Satoshi's white paper
  • Mining the Genesis Block
  • Development team forms
  • Bitcoin forum is created (first incarnation)
  • 10,000 BTC exchanged for pizza
  • Satoshi disappears
  • Numerous altcoins
  • Dollar parity
  • First Slashdot article
  • First Bubble
  • MyBitcoin.com fiasco
  • First major price drop
  • Mt. Gox incident and subsequent rollback of trades
  • Second price drop (bubble officially burst)
  • Gavin's CIA visit
  • Silk Road (and their continued existence)
  • etc. (it's been a really long day and I'm much too tired to go on)

Still around.

Is anyone going insane due to this wild roller coaster ride? I just cannot take my off of the chart.

I can honestly say I've been driven to the edge as I'm now checking on my trades constantly 24/7 at 2 exchanges.What drove me nuts was the fact that I tried to sell ~9.47BTC (when BTC was £10.20 each) at intersango yesterday,it never got carried out so I lost out big even though others were successful when they old BTC each at around $15.Thanks a lot intersango Sad I thought BTC trades were more responsive to market conditions like NYSE and other stock exchanges.Any of you guys know of a good exchange that does BTC to GBP? As I'm fed up with Intersango.

Just Intersango or Mt.gox I think, and there's not much between them, they are both ok IMO, on the odd occasion I've had issues they've been sorted *reasonably* promptly. I don't use Intersango these days much because I use cash mainly and I can't get it into their exchange since they switched to MetroBank.

Is Mt Gox a good exchange?If so I'll move to them.Are trades quicker on Mt Gox than Intersango? As I can't afford to wait a lifetime to profit.

With that much material, we can plan for a docudrama about bitcoin and make it trade exclusively with bitcoin.

Like I said they're both pretty similar, both 'gox and 'Sango grind to a halt when everyone's  trying to profit on a rapid swing in rates. If anything I prefer Intersango because you can see the order book on your trade form, but I find myself using gox more because of the cash funding option.

Watching idiots lose their money is hilarious to me. I don't speculate and I don't invest in very obvious scams. If this volatility is scaring you then either Bitcoin isn't for you or you can use this as a teaching moment. Specifically don't invest your life savings in some nobody's scheme.

Pirate Pass Through. Basically a way to get into BTCST without actually getting into BTCST. Think of it like a grocery co-op for losing your shirt.

If you can buy now, I think you should go ahead. I'd guess lot of USD is about to hit the exchanges. It's faster to deposit bitcoins onto an exchange than it is to deposit USD.

TL;DR Very roughly, the sellers have sold before the buyers could buy. Undervalued in my opinion.

I was insane before the charts started going wild... After having watched from a distance for quite some time now, I think I'm finally back to sane status.

But don't quote me on that.

Seriously, don't quote me. I don't grant you permission to use my words in any replies you may have. Shame on you if you already opened a reply with my quote.

Donations are welcome!

If you can't handle a little market fluctuation, investments aren't for you. I'm sure there were people post-1929 who made a killing from predicting the market.

Your stupidity harms the community. It is people like you who made the price fall. I hope you've learnt your lesson.
