what's with all this bearish sentiment.
i guess you been to busy looking at charts to see that bitcoin is on fire!
Most of it comes from the Coinlab lawsuit, the DHS dwolla account freeze and satoshi dice blocking the US. I think that is a pretty stern combination, but what do I know.  CoinLab lawsuit, finally someone with the balls to take over mtgox in the us DHS dwolla account freeze , yup its official bitcoin is for real. satoshi dice blocking the US, LOL like thats going to stop anyone |

Is that a wavelet transform?
Very close. It's Fourier transform. |

Does anybody see anything other than this same flat trend, that could very well last through the weekend? Up, down, sideways?
Unless something big comes out of the conference, sideways through the weekend. Next week? I don't mind admitting that I have no idea.  Lots of good news lately, but lingering uncertainty around the Gox situation has me cautious. If I have to pick, I'm guessing that next week we go up. |

Yes what happens when Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt turns to facts? That can always happen, but it can also become a self-fulfilling prophecy. When does being cautious turn into outright paranoia that feeds on itself and infects others? If you look for bad news you will always find it, if you look for positive news you will find plenty of that around as well. Most of us will be biased towards one or the other and try to think of things that reinforces our own position. In the end nobody has a definitive answer, but those who can think with a clear head and stay very flexible one way or the other usually have an edge. But they can be wrong as well. |

There is only one bad news. => crack RIPEMD-160 => crack SHA-256 => crack ECDSA ... (I think/believe impossible) :-) so until somebody is able to compute private key from your public bitcoin address, bitcoin will only rise. |

The only way would be to generate billions of keys per second, and hope that one of them matches up with someone else. xD It would still, with a billion keys per second, take an incredibly long time. If it becomes a potential issue, we will increase the length of new addresses, or make them more difficult to compute. |

I'd imagine it would be easier to indiscriminately collide with another address that has bitcoins. |
