More ouchies, gentlemen?

Litecoin death?

At what price do you consider it dead?

Well it's at it lowest price ever against bitcoin, but I wouldn't say it's dead. If there ever comes a time when one doge coin is worth more than one litecoin then I would consider it dead.

Losing shitloads of money while some asshole burns more electricity than an aluminum smelter seems pretty tempting

Adopting a free falling, slow as fuck, non scalable currency under hyperinflation that requires enormous amounts on energy to be wasted just in order to keep a ledger going!

Amazing what you can do with technology right?

No no you are right... lets spend money digging gold out of the ground instead.... and then you know... store it back underground in vaults.

All these people complaining about a Slovenian exchange say nothing about Lawsky's threats regarding New York residents using bitcoins and then his failure to issue any regulations. You can blame Bitcoin if you want, be we are just being good law abiding citizens having our Constitutional rights violated by a bureaucrat.

Gold is becoming as obsolete as Bitcoin.  What's your point?

Bears are using mathematics while bulls are just hoping and believing in miracles right now.

I hope bitcoin will reach 10k... 100k....$1M. I hope bitcoin does that. I hope bitcoin bla bla bla. I don't know what is wrong with you. The price already touched 255. What is the reason for bitcoin not to go on that path again ? Or even lower. Tell me one god damn reason.

I can tell you why it is going DOWN.

Bitcoin is fucking scary to use right now. People got lucky that Bitstamp had the money to save their whorehouse, otherwise there would have been many tears in here.
Do i really need to bring back my old arguments regarding how hard it is to use bitcoin, store it safely from both virtual and physical problems and many more ? Non-tech savvy people are terrified when i explain them bitcoin. And i never even told them about the risks

You are extremely emotional.

The very fact that this forum is now almost totally overwhelmed with obnoxious trolling just reeks of absolute desperation to be honest.

Bitcoin can literally go to zero and I can just laugh it off. I bought most of mine in march/april 2013. I will continue to buy it because I believe in the project.

A floor will appear where the few traders colluding the price lower cannot push it lower profitably. I may have 200 coins by then, it could be 2000. Bitcoin will still be the revolutionary technology I recognised when I first read about it properly.

You keep trading your meagre life savings. It will end well I'm sure!

Lol, to provide the level of security Bitcoin exchanges provide, running an 8080 DOS box would suffice.

If Bitstamp is back with improved security and no one got Goxed, why are we going nowhere but down?

Because we were going down before stamp got "hacked."

[oda.krell]

I think short-selling will never end. It's a powerful negative feedback loop. Bitcoiners are killing Bitcoin

Correction: "Bitcoiners", i.e. Bitcoin market participants, some - but not all - of which hold an optimistic long-term view on the network itself, are using the available financial tools to bring price back to a level at which inflow of fresh capital roughly matches the network's inherent monetary base inflation, adjusted (both up and down, but lately mainly: down) by longer-term speculative expectations of the market.

fake inflated price, no incentive to buy or use bitcoin i guess, high unilateral volatility, slow ass, unsecure cause hax, hard to use if not techy enough etc etc etc

good news=price down as always

Honestly I am afraid to go to sleep.
I feel like the moment I nod off there will be a jump. Then when I wake up it will have dropped again.

Bitcoinwisdom and other chart sites let you set audio alarms when price exits a certain range.  Set it to 350$ and have a good night's sleep.

There are a number of mobile apps with the same functionality as well. Also you dont sound like a day trader, draw a strategy that seems more likely, decide how much you gonna invest in it and go to sleep knowing you've done it right.
