all this fear is so fail....
anyone that sold because of this news made a mistake...
I bought. In retrospect, I hope buying wasn't the mistake. What could go wrong. It's not like anyone would use this uncertain time to DDOS an exchange.  |

"ICE's Homeland Security Investigations unit boasts 7,000 special agents in 200 U.S. cities that focus on crimes including drug smuggling, financial crimes, computer crimes, and export enforcement. That has included seizing Internet domain names, targeting sports streaming sites, and arresting a student for jailbreaking game consoles." LOL |

Might be stating the obvious, but I can't see quite so many Venture Capitalists queueing up to invest in BTC infrastructure after this
BTC yes, Homeland Security no
Nice timing in the middle of the conference ... coincidence ? Who knows ...

CampBX too? Meh.
So we've got some little 5-10k sells going on. Not really that big a deal.
But... watch for the insider trading, like a month ago. We start seeing 25-50k dumps, then there really is a war on the exchanges - we just haven't been told about it yet. But the insiders will know amongst themselves.
I'll set some buy orders around $55-65 if the big dumps come - and maybe a flyer in the 40s.
I don't mind doubling my coinage. This too shall pass...

If it drops to $90, I'd personally consider buying more. |

I don't think CampBX was affected, that was due to an unrelated outage on May 9, if you check the site the Dwolla option is still available. |

If and when it does we see $200 again If we figure out how to route around the damage (i.e., the G) in a reasonably efficient manner, we'll see $500 by the end of the year. Really though, we need a bank. And we're close to the point where a few of us acting together could afford to bribe the infrastructure of a small country, and get one. |

That won't stop the US from imposing economic sanctions against that country. |

Of course, the Hong Kong political structure would be too expensive to contemplate at the moment. But a communist country would be fairly immune to US blandishments - and they are all mostly pretty poor countries, and quite structurally corrupt. |

that really seems to me like a message from Homeland security to the community as it's happening right before the conference in california.
Feels like a drug raid during a hemp parade when everything's legal (or not, i still don't understand the command structure of USA with state law and federal law).
well if they keep on with these procedures it will push btc even harder with more exchanges on some small island states or similar tax haven countries, like with the bank accounts of onlinegambling.
from my perspective either way acceptance or interference will bring good days to bitcoin.

I would be up for discussion on this but who's the say the DHS wouldn't stop US citizens from depositing with us? Although I guess they could convert their US dollar to our currency and then make deposit. This is actually a really good idea. If we went to a south American country it wouldn't be too hard to create a financial institution. |

Will this downdraft be stopped by the support at $100? Remember that back in November, the price was $10.  |
