[Wekkel]

With an average growth rate of 0.42% daily, it will take us 550 days to go to $100,000.

Just wait for it.

I love seeing 10K, but I'm already dreading the dip.

[Ivor Biggun]

Man, this next $10 ride up to $10k is going to be interesting to watch...

WEW LADS !!!

The bitcoinity pop up animation at $10000 will be interesting to watch.

This was the pop up at $9935.

[mike4001]

Bitcoinaverage now at 10.014

Bitstamp is holding strong at 9.955

[ragnar0k]

Am I delaying picking up my friend from the airport, just to see $10k? Yes, yes I am

Did I get this friend into BTC half a year ago, so he'll understand? Also yes

C'mon people of the stamp, deliver unto us a 5 digit rational number!!!! Side note: should've saved the Selma pic for $100k (too many boobs)

Maybe they are delaying the big bang until The Big Bang:

The thing is, monetary tokens are not like a stock.

A stock has a finite intrinsic value - or a measurable value at least - based on the turnover of the business, earnings ratio, prospective commercial opportunities in its sector etc.

Monetary tokens on the other hand have no intrinsic value. They have an exchange rate based on adoption (as a store of value). There is therefore no upper limit on their price. That's what these people crying "bubble bubble" don't understand. While it's true that "tulip mania" is a large part of the bitcoin story, tulip mania is also an essential component of the growth of any new monetary media since it represents adoption as a store of value. The folks buying tulips would have been ok if they'd been more durable, rare and portable.

At the moment, there is "dark matter" in the bitcoin universe that many commentators don't take into account. That is, for example, sectors such as bitcoin and alt-coin backed debit cards. When somebody makes a deposit to a bitcoin debit card account like Wirex or something, they are basically spending bitcoin from that point on even though the individual trades may be denominated in local national currencies. The "value" behind the trade is crypto because it had to be acquired before the trade takes place.

There are all these latent areas of adoption that mainstream press are not counting because they don't manifest in the blockchain transaction count.

The genie is out of the bag and cannot be put back in. The only type of counterparty-free asset that can be sent across the planet is a cryptocurrency and in that field bitcoin is becoming unassailable in the store-of-value category. Therefore even this price is a huge undervaluation on the near future exchange rate against national currencies.

You friend will probably be waiting a long time. It will probably go to $10k when we are sleeping unless we stay awake all night to see it.

Well looky here, a nice mini-correction.

Honey badger don't give a shit.

"What's the BTC price doing today?"

Just a bit of this:

What´s this american thing, bigger is better ? I think, it´s enough to have a handfull.
It´s sexier.

[HairyMaclairy]

BFX back down to $9872.  It could happily do this all day.

Lets have a history recap.



Did you guys know that if you started mining with a Radeon 5970 on the day that a GPU miner was released for Bitcoin ( Oct 2010), when difficulty was around 1000. You would of made 800 BTC per day.

In November 2010 you would of made 266 BTC per day

In December 2010 you would of made 80 BTC per day.

[Meuh6879]

is this record high number of unconfirmed transactions?

223 000 MEMpool transactions is the top of the scale (before the 1 august, before massive upgrade of Bitcoin Core for segwit, like june/july 2017).

Here we go.

I think it has to do with bottle feeding.

I started in May or June 2011 with some Radeon 5850s. Ahhh...those were the days

Could be. I was breast fed, and I'm a butt man.
