This is madness!

NO! THIS! IS! BITCOIN!

Ahhh, today has me reminiscing back to the days of June 2011, same ole story, bunch of people panicking about Gox, and again today it was Gox, they really need to get their shit together, but at least the lesson is new with regard to lag.

Heck, I don't even have balls, and I held throughout, just bought some dirt cheap coins too ---

At least, I think I did. Right after I placed the buy order, Bitfloor crashed.

When will these exchanges learn... exponential increase in userbase means you need to buy better hosting, better security, more servers. I see them waiting around till they're completely disfunctional and then upgrading as a last resort. You'd think Gox would have 20 people on staff working around the clock to fix the trading engine, with the amount of money they're pulling in...

Oh well, I guess it's not only weak hands that will get shaken out, but weak exchanges. Folks, keep exchange-hopping until you find one that treats you right!

And even if I ever end up in a loss of purchasing power when compared to fiat (which in my case will happen under 19$), thanks to all the price swings and the speculation talks about this awesome internet money for becoming my primary source of entertainment for the last few months.

Although I dream of a future where I can really just pay for everything with bitcoins. Or whatever altcurrency will replace them, for what matters. And stick it up the arse of those corrupted bankers.

Holding through dips is easy, why would anyone sell when the bears are setting the price!?

What's hard is not selling on the run-ups! (at least, not selling too much that is!)

Ahhh, June '11.  The smell of crushed dreams in the morning...

Of course, that wasn't a coordinated attack with profit as the motive.  Today was, and may still be.

Whatever.  I held through that, I'll hold through this.

I agree, but in my position, anything under $1500 [per full BTC]is just noise anyway. Of course I would've sold at $250ish had I seen the crash coming, but hindsight's a pig.

One simply does not sell bitcoins. (Rather, one tries not to buy fiat with them unless absolutely necessary.)

The true new paradigm (singularity) will only arrive when people stop thinking "I'm going to sell my BTC to get money to pay for X" and realize that bitcoin is money. When merchants' major suppliers begin happily accepting bitcoin...

I would love to trade some when this happens, but an hour lag is completely unacceptable. Besides bitstamp is there any other exchange which is reputable? I like Coinbase, but their prices lag as well.

FAP Turbo 2.0, the FOREX trading robot which also trades bitcoin!

I had to link it because I love the name. Seriously, that is the real name.

Holding BTC at $10,000 a piece, that would be balls of steel.
