7 days until the Euro crashes. Can't wait.

I'm assuming you are referring to the troika's demand that Greece submit a bail-out plan that they will not submit, prompting a Greek Gov't shutdown and a massive bank-run. 

If this plays out as expected, the Euro will lose value against the GBP, Swiss Franc and USD, but that doesn't necessarily mean it will crash.  What it will mean for bitcoin prices is far from certain. I don't see the price appreciating significantly in US Dollars until it becomes more widely utilized as a means to evade capital controls.

Why isn't it being used this way yet??

The tools to handle the necessary amounts securely and privately are not well-developed enough for the stupid rich .... yet.

Hmm Old Crypto taking big positions at BTCe. Could be bullish.

PPC was pumped and dumped like some whore. 200% up in 2 hours then dump to starting point.

Doesn't mean the buyer(s) dumped it all. Looks like the buying ran into heavy sell orders by the looks of those candle wicks. Probably bagholders cashing out.

Just wonder why they would choose to resurrect those old school coins.

A huge bagholder(David Pate?) pumped the price a last time to finally get out. Pretty obvious, or do you think that PPC has any future.
The same is happening with BTC right now, only in slow motion(the dump, so that potential buyers(future bagholders) do not get scared away).

no need to worry. i'm not scared. the money i have in btc i am willing to sacrifice for what i believe in . i do not believe that abusive high taxes and constant gun grabs is something to be patriotic about as obama tries to make us believe. instead i believe patriotism are those who resist against this kind of #corruption. that means that all the us corporations who try to avoid paying the abusively high taxes are the ones who are patriotic and we (all of us rich and the poor) should stand together instead of falling for the obama's gay strategy of turning the non-rich against the rich just so he can steal more money by abusively taxing us citizens . when they steal from the lartge corporations then they are stealing from the people because the corporations will pay the people less in salaries and benefits.

u go down i am buy more, u go up and i will profit. just a matter of time before us govy gonna have to save themselves. #hardball #dontblamemeforyourfukups #trashtalk

"Authorities in Cyprus have confiscated 500,000 euros ($571,450) from a Greek businessman who tried to fly home with the cash after banks on the island refused to let him deposit it."

Ouch. Shoulda used Bitcoin.

Darkwallet + Trezor could work.

Well you can't hide a reasonable amount in a market cap of 3 billion and sliding.

If it did take hold it would be the small guys who use it first and as more use it, it enables more people who have larger holdings. If it continues to slide it obviously would not work.

Most likely it will continue to bounce up and down and not change much for awhile. When price spikes again, we'll see diff spike lagging.

Well, it just hit a new all time high and seems likely to surpass that in two weeks. Maybe that will correct some next month maybe not. In any event; yield demand from mining will have to rise otherwise you´re just running in place.

boring shit, miss the drama

But over 10 BTC, then a fluctuation of even 2-3$ will be a good drama.
