With BTC value behaving like it is, I'll bet there's a lot of ppl doing the same thing right now (selling for fiat). Your bet is wrong. Again. There are much more ppl buying bitcoins than ppl selling bitcoins. This is why bitcoin price is going up, not down!

The ones that were not bought never existed and merely serve to launder funds obtained from other sources.

Huh... MTGox can't even afford a $4000 withdrawal after 10+ days. This does not bode well. Can we please change the title of this thread to something that isn't totally misleading?

Bitcoin: An Idea Worth Spending

So I initiated a $4000 MTGox Dwolla withdrawal over ten days ago... I sent in two support tickets and they finally got back to me tonight, here's what the response was. Gene, Jan 22 13:06 (JST):
Hello Josh,
The transaction is still in process and the transaction has not been processed due to insufficient funds in our account.We will retry and update you once processed.We appreciate your patience.
Thanks,
MtGox.com Team Huh... MTGox can't even afford a $4000 withdrawal after 10+ days. This does not bode well. Looks like Josh is going to buy something for himself, for I don't believe his title description at BFL includes handling everyday expenditures.

For every coin bought, somone has to sell it, so it's always the same amount bought and sold.! However the hotdog analogy was wrong, as the statement was "More people buying than selling" which means more small bids compared to larger fewer asks. which does'nt conflict with the first statement about every coin sold is also bought. So the analogy should be "Are more hotdogs sold in batches today"

Time variable is missing! What you've explained is not a static equilibrium. The balance is dynamically achieved in time. This is why the exchange rate is moving up and down. At a given point in time more ppl wanted to buy than those that wanted to sell. This is why the exchange rate moved up to balance this increased demand. Because market moved up some of the buy orders below the market level remained unfulfilled. So, yes. There is absolutely nothing wrong to say there are more people buying than selling bitcoins if bitcoin price is going up!

These are the exact signs we saw just before CryptoXChange died. I'm concerned about having some BTCBTC in GOX now...

Because these are the same arguments that gmaxwell used to change the title and later lock this thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=137026.0Do we see a double standard here, gmaxwell?

No. If I buy a coin that nobody sold, where did it come from? Did I say that nobody sold you this coin? What I do say is that more people are buying bitcoins than those selling bitcoins! That does not mean that everybody that wanted to buy bitcoins have succeeded in buying! The price moved up to balance the supply/demand equation! Why is so hard for you to understand something quite obvious?

Why is so hard for you to understand something quite obvious? Because while it may appear obvious to you that more people are buying than selling, that may not be the case in fact. The market could be comprised of 1 buyer and 10,000 sellers, or vice versa, and the charts might look exactly the same in either case to what we've seen recently. You, quite simply, either do not know what you're talking about, or are unable to express yourself properly.

Market doesn't care if it is a single person buying 10000 bitcoins or 1000 persons buying 10 bitcoins each. From market point of view there is no difference whatsoever. For instance, that 1 person buying 10000 bitcoins might be a hedge fund manager that represents 1000 shareholders.
