Well, if we made it to $266 then maybe I was wrong and the market is growing enough to sustain the growth.


Followed by a mass sell off by all.

The Bitcoin software, network, and concept is called "Bitcoin" with a capitalized "B". Bitcoin currency units are called "bitcoins" with a lowercase "b" -- this is often abbreviated BTC.

Shucks! Should've seen that before. If proudhon sounds remotely bullish, you know it's time to bite the bullet and buy fiat. Grin

Seriously, though, there is method in the madness: if the ultra-bears suddenly go quiet, you know it's probably a bubble likely to pop at any moment.

jesus, its uncanny

This is not some pseudoeconomic post-modern Libertarian cult, it's an un-led, crowd-sourced mega startup organized around mutual self-interest where problems, whether of the theoretical or purely practical variety, are treated as temporary and, ultimately, solvable.
Censorship of e-gold was easy. Censorship of Bitcoin will be… entertaining.

Let's remember, thus, that bears like proudhon and evolve are very important to the community. Hearing some skepticism and negativity (some of which is perfectly reasonable) might help keep a lid on things and deflate manic bubbles before they grow dangerously out of control. We need sustainable growth, right?

Yes what many have lost sight of or don't get is that Bitcoin is supposed to be a currency.  One of the most important aspects of currency is that it is fairly stable and dependable.  You only want it to grow based on tangible real fundamentals.  Talking about things that have not happened yet are speculation and great for stocks that will turn profit but, terrible for a currency.  I am wondering what things are like at Silk Road right now?  If you wanted to by something at $250 then see the price go to $105 how are buyers or sellers even able to do transactions right now?  Until Bitcoin settles down are people really using it at all?

I pay for my hosting service with Bitcoins. Today is my due date for the month.

I will just go on the site, click "pay bill". It will give me the amount of BTC I owe based on the price at that moment and I will pay it.

I do not plan on trying to play the market or time things perfectly.

I have figured out that if you just move money into Bitcoin when you have it and you spend it without worrying about price you are better off. In the long run the value will do nothing but go up so worrying about 2-3% here and there is pointless.
