Yet another concern;
Do you really thing the average Joe is gonna want to take his paycheck and buy 1 bitcoin? Will the average Joe be able to comprehend that you can buy pieces of bitcoin?
Wait a minute, aren't you the guy that correctly called the crash from $450 to $250 last thursday <sarc> or was that someone else trying to spread fear in here ? That would be me. My predictions along with everyone else's predictions in here have been so accurate

For once I'll say thank god there is gox to support the price otherwise bitstamp looks like it would go down the rabbit hole. What is going on over there and what happened to the order book? The bid at btcchina doesn't look impressive either.

I think that would be considered a legit excuse in these parts Meanwhile, take some deep breaths, calm down, everything is going to be alright

hey its "virtual gold"
Bitcoin is not like gold at all, in the aspect that gold does not have price check built in the same way Bitcoin has. Bitcoin network uses electrical power, and this power has cost. At 600, around 2 million usd daily, can pass trough exchanges pushing the price down. So, we need 2 million daily just to keep the Bitcoin price at the same level. So, 2 million of fresh sucker money daily.

Yes thats him, the dumbass sold his coins to...."cash out" too early so not hes on a mission to spread BS. I bet his dinner's grace is "please make btc crash... pls pls" like a fcking kid.

You do realize there is this thing going on that is called "gold mining"?
If all gold mining in the world stopped, gold would still be useful, so it can function with "zero cost". Not so with Bitcoin, Bitcoin will always have costs to keep it running, and this cost is an almost direct function of its price on the exchanges.

Not so with Bitcoin, Bitcoin will always have costs to keep it running, and this cost is an almost direct function of its price on the exchanges. For now, due to inflation. How about when miners have to survive on transaction fees alone? If most transactions would occur off-chain, wouldn't that strongly reduce the operating costs? (I am having a hard time predicting how this will evolve.) But as noted by 600 watt, gold storage and transportation costs money too.

It is completely like gold but better.
Gold does not have a price point at which all the electrical power generated in the world is used by gold. Bitcoin has such a price point.

So now that we saw that huge rally in China today, any guesses what tomorrow will bring? I'm guessing a lot of Chinese people had put in deposits on the btc-china before the weekend. Most probably the remainder of those people who didn't get their money today will have their accounts funded tomorrow.
