If that's true, its the same way we know JFK, 9/11, Oklahoma, Boston, Elections, etc. get rigged.  I'll bite on the conspiracy theory only because most every piece of big news never gets told at face value.

Yep, 'zactly.

Like this supposed "things heating up" thing with NK. Yeah riiiight. 30 straight years of no heating up with NK, no incidents at all. Now all of a sudden within 6 months we're near the brink of war?

Yeah, not buying it. Look for some false flag event du jour coming soon. Yellen needs her bubble popping market crash event asap.

I think that it has more to do with the fact that they know their victims would know more about bitcoin, be able to easily set up an account and buy it with fiat money. With Monero directly, that's not as easily accessible... hardly anyone has heard of it. I'm 100% sure that you will never see Monero listed for buy/sell on regulated brokers like Coinbase.

Yeah, but most of the victims do not have Bitcoin and have just possibly heard a bit about it. I don't think that slapping "register to Kraken, buy Monero, etc." instructions on the ransomware would be too difficulty. Monero is harder to use than Bitcoin, but it shouldn't be that hard.

Another day, another ATH. Yawn.

It is kind of boring until at least $4k. I don't like the mini wall on Bitstamp on $3600.

[JayJuanGee]

$3500 !!! booooom

 Damn!  I missed it due to my complaining about topicality.
Is there any resistance now before 10k?

Yep... next meaningful resistance area  is  the $4800 to $6800 arena.. and then after that between about $8500 to $13000. 

$10k will be a whiz, once we are in the middle of that $8500 to $13000 price arena..

[JayJuanGee]

Bullish? Congrats on the new ATH.

Ummm... shutting the front door for Average Joe whilst still servicing their rich friends out the back? You decide

Of course, we are being manipulated by these fake announcements...

Another day, another ATH. Yawn.
By the end of month we'll be beyond $5K.

$5000 will be the new floor~ mainstream adoption inkominggg

The slow grind up to ATH's is nice and nothing like 2013 with the dizzying highs/lows. Things are just getting started.

I don't remember any time where the ATH wasn't just a violent spike followed by another violent dump. Here we are having just a stable continuous rise of a few percent points per day.

Sounds like healthy growth to me, more so considering the fundamental improvements.... there will be dips for sure... but when will be next?

Also, August has never been a particularly good month for price increase, on the contrary.

Plus I am sure there have been many people profit taking along all this rise... Wonder if they will try to get back at some time in the future.

Yes, ok, but with some nice ups and downs anyway, makes it more exiting... .

Bullish? Congrats on the new ATH.

What even is Cryo storage? a paper wallet kept in the freezer?

Yeah but have you seen Gemini's cryo storage? It's so high tech. They chill the bitcoin down to 0 Kelvin to keep the coins nice and fresh for the future.

Confirmed.

It would make sense to me that over an extended period of time those people who had large amounts of BTC would have sold along the way at certain intervals to suit their needs.
This means that eventually the amount of BTC that any one person holds will be less which in turn means that dumping would not be as viscious since more people would have to sell in order to affect the books in a big way.
This in turns makes BTC less volatile which also makes it more attractive to hodlers since confidence in the coin will increase as a store of value.
That doesn't mean that there still aren't some big players out there but eventually the swings should iron out. Well at least that is the way I see it, but hey, what do I know.
Loving the new ATH.

Why I am "complaining"? Because I think that when all those arguments about Bitcoin used by criminals are completely erradicated there will be less bumps in the road to moon.

We just need to see how price reacts EVERY SINGLE TIME a dark market, shaddy exchange, etc gets closed.

Another thought. My conspiracy brain is always on. I'm not so sure that these ransomware attacks asking for bitcoin, are truly initiated by "bad guys".

How do we know they aren't being initiated by the Feds, deep statists, or whoever in order to continue their smear campaign against Bitcoin?

How would we in the public know otherwise?

How do we know that BTC-e wasn't framed?

Bingo. A hacker group with two neurons wouldn´t use bitcoin. This has the CIA/NSA whatever firm in every aspect. In fact they were the very creators of the worm, that somehow got "hacked" and released by a cyberterrorist group. How convenient.

Exactly. This seems like the deep state perpetrator's playbook to me:

1. Decide that BTC-e needs to go because they can't control it or regulate it

2. Release ransomware to the UK (perhaps giving their corp insiders the heads up) demanding bitcoin

3. Collect the tiny btc ransom (which may also have been initiated by the perpetrators themselves) and deliberately run it through BTC-e's exchange servers

4. Plant supposedly independent white hat hacker with the "fix" to stop ransomware

5. Frame BTC-e, move in on and arrest Alexander, take down BTC-e

6. Win?

well, you don't want him talking now do you?

[Syke]

But.... There are regulated exchanges that do have Monero, ie: KRAKEN.

But wouldn't Kraken require identity verification, thus nullifying Monero's anonymity benefits?
