We're back to 11,700-11,800 range, which is exactly where we were just a couple of days ago. People need to relax, it's just a typical weekend dump. We can't expect the price to go up 1-2k every day forever. There are ups and down during a consolidation. I still think we're about to shoot up in a few weeks time to a new ATH.

Once bitcoin moons again these regulatory bodies will come after all exchanges again. They think something shady is going on the exchange when in fact the regulatory bodies are the shady ones.

Stop trying to trade during low volume low volatility

I was shooting heroin and reading “The Fountainhead” in the front seat of my privately owned police cruiser when a call came in. I put a quarter in the radio to activate it. It was the chief.

“Bad news, detective. We got a situation.”

“What? Is the mayor trying to ban trans fats again?”

“Worse. Somebody just stole four hundred and forty-seven million dollars’ worth of bitcoins.”

The heroin needle practically fell out of my arm. “What kind of monster would do something like that? Bitcoins are the ultimate currency: virtual, anonymous, stateless. They represent true economic freedom, not subject to arbitrary manipulation by any government. Do we have any leads?”

“Not yet. But mark my words: we’re going to figure out who did this and we’re going to take them down … provided someone pays us a fair market rate to do so.”

“Easy, chief,” I said. “Any rate the market offers is, by definition, fair.”

He laughed. “That’s why you’re the best I got, Lisowski. Now you get out there and find those bitcoins.”

“Don’t worry,” I said. “I’m on it.”

I put a quarter in the siren. Ten minutes later, I was on the scene. It was a normal office building, strangled on all sides by public sidewalks. I hopped over them and went inside.

“Home Depot™ Presents the Police!®” I said, flashing my badge and my gun and a small picture of Ron Paul. “Nobody move unless you want to!” They didn’t.

“Now, which one of you punks is going to pay me to investigate this crime?” No one spoke up.

“Come on,” I said. “Don’t you all understand that the protection of private property is the foundation of all personal liberty?”

It didn’t seem like they did.

“Seriously, guys. Without a strong economic motivator, I’m just going to stand here and not solve this case. Cash is fine, but I prefer being paid in gold bullion or autographed Penn Jillette posters.”

Nothing. These people were stonewalling me. It almost seemed like they didn’t care that a fortune in computer money invented to buy drugs was missing.

I figured I could wait them out. I lit several cigarettes indoors. A pregnant lady coughed, and I told her that secondhand smoke is a myth. Just then, a man in glasses made a break for it.

“Subway™ Eat Fresh and Freeze, Scumbag!®” I yelled.

Too late. He was already out the front door. I went after him.

“Stop right there!” I yelled as I ran. He was faster than me because I always try to avoid stepping on public sidewalks. Our country needs a private-sidewalk voucher system, but, thanks to the incestuous interplay between our corrupt federal government and the public-sidewalk lobby, it will never happen.

I was losing him. “Listen, I’ll pay you to stop!” I yelled. “What would you consider an appropriate price point for stopping? I’ll offer you a thirteenth of an ounce of gold and a gently worn ‘Bob Barr ‘08’ extra-large long-sleeved men’s T-shirt!”

He turned. In his hand was a revolver that the Constitution said he had every right to own. He fired at me and missed. I pulled my own gun, put a quarter in it, and fired back. The bullet lodged in a U.S.P.S. mailbox less than a foot from his head. I shot the mailbox again, on purpose.

“All right, all right!” the man yelled, throwing down his weapon. “I give up, cop! I confess: I took the bitcoins.”

“Why’d you do it?” I asked, as I slapped a pair of Oikos™ Greek Yogurt Presents Handcuffs® on the guy.

“Because I was afraid.”

“Afraid?”

“Afraid of an economic future free from the pernicious meddling of central bankers,” he said. “I’m a central banker.”

I wanted to coldcock the guy. Years ago, a central banker killed my partner. Instead, I shook my head.

“Let this be a message to all your central-banker friends out on the street,” I said. “No matter how many bitcoins you steal, you’ll never take away the dream of an open society based on the principles of personal and economic freedom.”

He nodded, because he knew I was right. Then he swiped his credit card to pay me for arresting him.

The move from 11.1 to 11.6 was on very low decreasing volume..
Bearish.

Trading for me has seemed a bit flat across the board over the last 48 hours - hopefully there will be a bit more volume today

That was great Hairy, thanks for bringing it in.


I am at a loss guys;  I can't decide to set up just over 11 for the sure thing or be greedy and set up clear the fuck down by 9.

For about the past month and a half, I moved my buy orders from every $750 to every $1k, and it has been working out quite great during this consolidation down from $19,666 and up from $9222 and all points between.

Surely, every once in a while, an order almost hits but not quite, but that just goes with the territory.

Accordingly, there should be nothing wrong with having orders at $11k, $10k and $9k - and really none of them are guaranteed to happen this time around or even ever again for that matter.

LN is up and starting to grow exponentially and you lot think Bitcoin is going to dump?  Really? 

[Lontonbit]

I just had a dream that everyone had bitcoin heads and they were all chewing on cash, is that weird?

[explorer]

On a tangentially-related matter, does anyone know why the forums got rid of the glowing ignore color, based on how many people have a particular user marked for ignore ?

Oooh.  I had never noticed this but would enjoy it.

Disappeared around the end of 2013, IIRC, about the same time avatars were locked (for years).  Avatars became changeable again within a couple years, but the forum just couldn't afford the expense of glowing ignore buttons.  There's the new software to develop, you know!  Can't be robbing from that for trivial things.

Today I demo'd purchasing a sticker to a colleague but they blinked and missed it ;-p

lol it's tonevays that's all bearish
but i do think there's little intersection between the geeks who are trialling lightning and the traders who are watching ta lines, triangles, pentagrams
maybe if some big company incorporates ln successfully, or announces their intention, the market would react

It was the computational expense of the lookups as the user and post numbers grew.
