while MyCoin claimed to have 3,000 (!!!) customers (each of them investing an average of one million dollars) (a Legislative Council) had received more than 15 complaints (!!!) from MyCoin clients regarding the allegations and that these would be passed on to the police on Wednesday.

How come there's only over 15 complaints, where 3000 customers were scammed for one million each, on average?

The reports I have read say 30 people went to talk to a local councillor (politician); not the police or the courts, because, according to the paper, they thought that the police would not take up their case given that they had no proof of their investment.  If that is correct, there are quite likely more than 30 victims.  3000 victims is not at all unlikely for a ponzi scheme in a fairly wealthy city of 7 million.  (Here we recently had an MLM scheme which scammed tens of millions of victims.)

The estimated average amount per victim is 1 milllion Hong Kong dollars (HKD, HK$) which is about 128'000 US dollars.  Since each cloud mining contract was 52'000 USD, and the newspaper names a couple of victims who bought multiple (up to eight) contracts, that amount does not seem excessive at all.

Depends.  What were you trying to say? 

[samsonn25]

i guess we will see in a few months if i am right or you...
my guess is that some usd whales decided that they want to be early birds as well...which is of course good for me as well since i am able to buy at these or maybe even lower levels...

if you want to tell me this had nothing to do with manipulation and is just supply and demand you are either naive or a fudster

You must also think the stock market is rigged too.  The truth is investors are smart not stupid.  They reward companies with good earnings and steady growth by buying and bidding the prices up, the bad companies that dont make money or are sketchy has less demand from buyers and thus the price stays low because it must be discounted to find a level the buyers want to get in at, correlating the extra risks.

i have to apologize...you are not the common fud troll i thought you are
there is always some manipulation...also on wall street, london, ...
i guess you heard about http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geraint_Anderson ?
i dont want to say this all was just pure manipulation...there were many factors that came together...fact is we are where we are...and in my opinion this is now a huge opportunity

Apology accepted.  Yes money moves the  price Both ways up and down.  To profit  from price  movement is best  to Buy when people are selling and sell when people are buying.

I thought of adding a 3rd list for "car" or "telephone" or "refrigerator" or "electricity" but that would make the exercise much harder.  For example, because of the car you don't see people walking on the street, but only on sidewalks; inner city streets are much wider; homes have garages and garage lanes, and buildings have underground garages, and sidewalks have lowered curbs for car entrances, and there are parking lots, and gas stations look and work very differently from horse stables, and people go to a supermarket miles away once a week, instead of to the corner grocery store every day, and ...

but i give you 1 point...without the internet i wouldnt have to deal with you

That counts, but only because, without the internet, you would be sitting on a couch in front of a big screen TV, instead of on an uncomfortable chair in front of a tiny computer screen.  But you would be watching Homer Simpson or some stupid guy being interviewed on a talk show, instead of arguing with a stupid poster; so that difference does not count.

I know what the word means--not because I've seen it before, but because right-click=>search ... Google.
Still don't get what you're trying to say tho.  Feel free to explain.

O, but TV wasn't interactive bidirectional exchange of information (You, boy in the back!  No laughing!).
I'm thinking telephone "party lines," which predated conference calls and internet.

Explanation

[razorramon]

don't assume you know anything about me...
i would indeed have another job because my job is internet based
actually a lot of people i know have internet based jobs (online version of newspapers, SEO marketing, online shops, web developers,...)
also 95% of things i buy, i bought on the internet...now that i think of that...there are a lot more delivery guys these days
i even buy a lot of daily items online (like things that i just dont want to carry around)...
the internet is my main source for information on basically everything...i guess you still get out the last version of the encyclopedia britannica if you want to know something about the latest news...
ah news...i do remember the days when i read a newspaper (aka news of yesterday)

anyway...it looks like you think the internet didnt change your life...why don't you try to get offline for a month or so? but not just private...also in the office...(or maybe you write from an online cafe...whatever)...also ignore everything someone looked up on the internet...
so if you want to know when that movie or that opera is starting or even what is actually playing you have to call or get over there
i guess since you are more or less an old person you should still be used to offline methods...but just try it
of course you can use a laptop to write down your experiences...

I think it´s safe to say that those lousy 5500 coins won´t hold the price >200$ till the weekend(next day). Half of it will get pulled anyway if we get near it.

It seems that you didn´t understand the exercise. Maybe it´s because of the short attention span of the young internet generation?

[mrkavasaki]

do you guys think sub $100 coins are still possible?

[fonzie]

do you guys think sub $100 coins are still possible?

No way, 215$ is the final bottom, it won´t ever again drop below that....
