Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion

[Erdogan]

it's been awhile since i've posted in this thread, and this question has no doubt been asked/posted and answered already. But, hope you can understand why i'm not going to even go back 1 page in this thread to find the answer  

how come the btc price hasn't really been affected since bitstamps news came out?

Maybe it is affected - by being paralyzed. Stamp was the leading exchange (for some) and when it stopped trading people were confused and now want to buy or sell near the last known price.

Someone has stolen some bitcoins from someone else!

This makes bitcoins worth less how exactly?

Somehow I don't think hackers responsible for a hack on large bitcoin service care so much about bitcoin that they would not dump on first opportunity regardless of price. Or they  may sell it at big discount and then the buyer would dump.

But what hurts the most is image of Bitcoin to outsiders. You have to be really crazy and suicidal guy on wallstreet  to put any serious money into something that's being robbed to oblivion on a yearly basis.

You know, Bitcoin.  The sound money store of value that eliminates third-party risks?
1.  Loses three quarters of its value.
2.  The part that's left gets pwnt by third party

1. 1 BTC still worth 1 BTC.
2. Bitcoins transffered to an exchange are not yours.

1. 1 ruble will always be 1 ruble too.  May not buy as much as it used to, but hey, you kids know better
2. Money that you can't use as money is pretty useless.  Almost a truism.

don't underestimate a man with a plan, if he managed to grab 18K bitcoins he can manage to wash them clean

A man, a plan... a canal -- Panama!

Of course! That must be where the thief is hiding!

and I still think he will walk on all this in the real likely hood he was just plain stupid and got robbed

and again...his life will still be much better then mine (being rich wise that is) FML 2.0 (use of this to be determined at a later date when he walks away from all this)

Sarcasm?

From a value-oriented investing perspective (best represented by Warren Buffett), the value of one bitcoin is zero. Who is being more rational here, the bull or the bear?

now that is just ignorance at an appalling level.  w.b. would smack you down.

I said that bitcoin is a mirage, and yet you keep falling for it. A fool and his money...

Anyway you can put up a wall from Bitfinex or BTC-E instead, ChartBuddy?

Seeing that fat man on a ball all day depresses me...

Agreed!  It was funny, now just annoying

Given the continual southward direction of BTC being on here "all day" is the depressing part.
