Yes, theUS would simply get left behind in this scenario, and would be incredibly stupid and short-sighted to do so.
In other words, expect it to happen any day now and be ready to buy the dip, because stupid and short-sighted is our primary export. |

As in, anyone doing business in bitcoins is classified as a money transfer business and either has to get a licence or quit it.
This isn't actually true. The regulations are aimed at exchanges and " currency creators" ( miners) , not normal businesses who accept BTC. |

Man I still am slapping myself for being on gox for so long. Bitstamp calculating prices for buy / sell WITH THE FEE INCLUDED is a godsend.
Also the fact that they give you breaks on fees based on USD traded and not BTC is also much more honest, with gox fees effectively go up with bitcoin price which is a joke so now you need to trade 3x as much to get breaks on fees and keep trading that and they still don't match stamps.
Gox is straight up dishonest, they dont even warn you of withdrawal delays on their homepage when the ethical thing to do would be just that

But Gox has been good for volatility and stability of the trading platform so far. But I agree, looking for an exit strategy myself. Going to sleep on it and ponder the question later. Time to Push The Tempo and get to 266 already. 9... |

In all likelyhood we'll bounce off of $260 (before ATH) before continuing up on Gox. $266 is just a gigantic sized resistance its not even funny.

Looks like there are no SEPA deposit-queue problems on Bitstamp.
Not at all, I did a transfer yesterday morning from UK and it was in by lunch time ready to trade. I've just yesterday morning done an international wire from UK to Bitstamp but it hasn't arrived yet. Can you do SEPA from UK? Was it from a Euro account? You can SEPA from a UK account, but I think you have to convert to euros, which costs more than wiring pounds to Bitstamp's excellent exchange rate. SEPA is faster though, yes edit: Citi-bank does euro and dollar accounts. That would be the way to go with your'e doing allot of trading or arbitrage Yeah, SEPA is tricky from UK because you are exposed to two currency exchanges, on your end GBP -> EUR and on our end EUR -> USD which even if a SEPA deposit is free can be costlier. Btw on our end currency conversion is done automatically by our bank free of charge at their daily exchange rate spreads: http://www.unicreditbank.si/tecajna_lista/?t=1&id_menu=&language=ENGThanks guys, that's helpful. I went for the international transfer option in order to save on conversion fees, but I seem to have lost way more than that by having to hang around a bit longer whilst watching the price rocket. Ah well. I've been all BTC since I pulled them out of Gox back in August so can't complain too much - holding policy has worked very nicely  For the first time though, a friend has just asked me to buy BTC for him, so I've just opened a BitStamp account solely for this purpose and, hopefully, to buy more for others in the future. The word is clearly spreading quickly. Happy days. |

Does everybody realize that public opinion is changing positive towards Bitcoin?
People are starting to realize that bitcoin is the currency of the resistance against the banks, corporations and governments stealing their wealth. Once this idea settles in there's no stopping it. oh but there is: the governments of the world could get together and decide to roll out govcoin (with not strings attached, publicly minable) and make it legal tender globally. It's just pretty unlikely to happen. Actually: I would eat my balls and lead a happy life everafter. |
