Interesting to see what happens here

BEAR TRAP!!! @#%! ... TAKE COVER!!!

Minor correction. We did go up awfully fast.

No big thing.

[Spaceman_Spiff]

check  bitcoinaverage.com  you can see the whole price history as well as volume
keep in mind that the volume is in BTC and not in USD (fiat) , a rough calculation will show that USD volume  (or fiat in general) is actually quite high and only Oct-Dec 2013 USD volume is higher than now

cool site

It's been my go-to since the Finex hack.

Not only does it have the most accurate price averaging over the most exchanges, weighted by volumes while excluding zero-fee exchange volumes, it's also used as the base price reference for most BTC ATMs here.

It represents real-world pricing better than any individual exchange and does so in the most currencies.

I have had that site open for 3 years straight. But I gotta say I liked the old version better.

Awesome oldie thread:   I'm All In - Sold My House!  

This guy made the huge gamble, sweated thru thick and thin and now he's killin it!

[Burning_Man]

Just bought $4k worth of coins from coinbase.

Will have them on the 3rd.


Hopefully the price will get up to $1200 by then, and not sink.

$254.90 on Stamp. The bears are out in force by the looks of it, I'm feeling pretty negative at the moment, still going to HODL as usual obviously, I understand bitcoin is a long term investment but this XT bull shit with Hearn & Gavin is causing the price to tank imo. Weak hands are panicking & getting out

This price dip is nothing compared to the crash that would happen sometime next year when Core Dev allows the 1MB to cripple legitimate user tx throughput.

Wonderful prediction by the BU , Classic and XT crowd. 6+ months of "full blocks" and the price has been steadily appreciating and no "tx fee death spiral"

... I sometimes feel that 70% of the nuttjob traders pay attention to this forum and take their decision on our sociopath non-involvement decisions... Constantly refreshing their browser for new posts, especially on the harsh rushed actions or swings in the markets.

Me too. It was far less cluttered and required fewer clicks to get the view I wanted.

"You've got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em,"

All I know is bitcoin experiences great pumps and spectacular dumps. I would be surprised if this was not the case this time.

I can picture all those who held coins from the epic pump of 2013 waiting for ROI. Fingers resting on triggers.

All it takes is for some of the big boys to pull triggers and all hell breaks loose.

Sorry to put a damper on the Holiday joy but we need to be realistic. We are on thin ice.

Hope I'm wrong and bitcoin keeps surging ahead.

fomo affects holders just as much as short term buyers and sellers. if you'd been sitting for three years to make bank then you're gonna be a hardened believer by now.

Too bad that thread seems locked. At this time it's become very relevant again.

At today's price his coins are worth over $820kCAD, more than twice what he paid for them.

I seem to recall he posted within the last year or so that he didn't falter when the price tanked and continued to hold tight.

Not bad for someone in his mid-20s. Good job kid. Hodl FTW.

I sure as fuck hope there will be a huge dump. I haven't bought back any of what I have sold yet, and low prices are better for my business in terms of btc earnings.

But there won't.

And what's with the empty space at the end of your post anyway? Deleting that shit, it's stupid.

I have no idea what you are talking about.

Hey look, I hit quote and didn't delete the 6 line breaks after your text.

I'm thinking the powers that be wants to see the price over 1k before years end. Would make awesome headlines.

There are no powers that be in bitcoin...

There are some people who want the price to go up, and there are others who want the price to go down, and those that who want the price to go up are winning, at the moment... and some of us benefit from that momentum (and winning)

The biggest players keep getting more coins. And they are controlling the market.

I don't know about that... where's your evidence?

Sure, there are always ways for the rich to get richer, but there are also ways for smaller players to attempt to profit from the whole situation (including this most recent price rise if they had enough foresight to hang onto a large majority of their coins and/or engage in other wealth preservation and/or accumulation strategies).

Sure a dump can happen anytime, yet your fictional description of some folks waiting for 3 years to get into the green is nearly pure fictional and based on some outlier case(s). 

In other words, bitcoin is in a very good position right now, even though there has been about a 3 month pump with more erratic upward behavior in the past week...   In any event, currently, we seem to have very decent price pressures to both break through $1k and likely to be able to test the ATH.. or at least come within reach of it in the coming week or two.
