Bitcoin all over CNN right now. "But it's not backed by anything, it's not like it's backed by gold like the dollar (USD)" Ummmm since when has the dollar been backed by gold?
Haha yeah just saw that myself. You'd be surprised how many of the general US public are under that assumption.

Its CNN, the water carrier of big government. I take what they say there as a grain of salt.

The tradebots have been defending their trend line. Will they switch to dump mode soon?

That devil Satoshi, I knew he was pulling all of our legs!  That's it, I give up, selling all my 300 BTC shortly...

CNN is promoting the Morgan Spurlock feature that airs tonight. The "Supersize Me" guy who tried to live on McDonald's food is attempting to live on bitcoin.
I think this is a good thing. There is no such thing as bad publicity. The worst crime is not being infamous. The worst crime is being irrelevant.

Bullish. Big money and people like me following them are waiting for ~25K shorts before we crank up the big pumps for a squeeze to $350.

...[JorgeStolfi ] actually posts good stuff with good arguments... ...and that's his greatest fail. A shrewd educator doesn't reason with lab animals. Powerful electrical shock is the sole & uniquely effective approach to Bitcoiner education. This maxim was scientifically proven by Messrs Pavlov, NotLambchop, et al.  This is how i will feed my broke bitcoiners when this pyramid scam invented by an invisible japanese troll that premined 1 million tokens will collapse to ground zero.

Bullish. Big money and people like me following them are waiting for ~25K shorts before we crank up the big pumps for a squeeze to $350. Please no! I'm scared  IMO it can go either way. On one hand, a high number of shorts indicates a lot of bearish mindsets. On the other hand, an upward move of 5-10% is typically sufficient to cause a lot of shorts to cover or close, and that can make the upwards move even more drastic. personally, i think we are headed upwards for here, its time to move back into the 280-320 region where there was resistance last month. I really doubt we will see <$200 again with the fundamentals of the blockchain and the hashrate where they are

Blockchain fundamentals haven't changed since its inception--still in Beta after 6 years*  Hashrate is driven by the price, not the other way around. *Though some patches cludges hardforks are proposed.
