BTW, 66% of my trading stash joined the "investment stash" on a paper wallet. I sold the remaining 33% at $120 and requested a withdrawal to try some arbitrage with Bitstamp... The money didn't arrived to my account yet, so after the last rally my arbitraging move isn't looking too good ATM. I don't understand this move. The best way to arbitrage is to buy bitcoins on Bitstamp and sell them on Gox, doing it the other way around like you did carries a huge amount of risk since you have to wait for the funds to arrive from Gox first. Why did you try it this way? Well, because I bought back in full between $67 and $105. My trading position was all BTC, so I had to sell on Gox before buying on Bitstamp to sell again on Gox, etc. etc. etc... Plus, the point here is to see how fast I can move fiat from Gox to Bitstamp in a recurrent way - both fiat and BTC have to move quickly for arbitrage to work. BTC is quick, fiat not so much...

Wouldn't be easier to just lobby against bitcoin. Or to make googlecoin
There's a theory that Bitcoin actually IS Googlecoin, but that Google have not admitted to it and never will. The Google founders talked about "Google Bucks" a few years before Bitcoin was introduced. And there's a later video of Eric Schmidt from around 2011 where he says "Bitcoin is a great idea, Google looked into creating something similar but the regulatory hurdles were too much to overcome". So it's possible they went ahead anyway, but in such a way that their product couldn't be traced back to them. Not saying I believe it necessarily, but it's vaguely plausible. Not to mention one of Google's employees worked closely with Satoshi in developing Bitcoin in the early years Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mD4L7xDNCmA (First 15 seconds)

If your fiat arrives at Bitstamp in less than 4 weeks, you should be able to buy there at the very bottom. And if arrives in less than 2 weeks, you might be able to take advantage of the fake return to bull market.

This is correct if you calculate the "true" price of bitcoin. I calculate we are at true $210 right now. Gox shows price minus $50 evil whale suppression and minus $30 fed gov oppression. So in real reality, my predictions are rarely wrong $300 True Price by Friday. Guaranteed. So what will increase by $90? The price, the whale suppression, or the gov oppression? Probably a combination of all 3, but in what proportions?

notme,
I apologize for assuming your math is noobz-level. However, my calculations also involve advanced principles of physics, including quantum mechanics, etc..
Explaining would require long 100+ page essay. I don't feel like doing such.
Thanks
