Although, I still think Bitcoin is extremely undervalued, but I try to avoid talking about the exchange rate (I'm biased). A fucking messaging app sold for $19 billion... I know it's apples and oranges, but Bitcoin provides far, far more utility than a messaging app.

Like that comparison. Hadn't thought of that one.

The more I think about it, the more interesting it becomes (in my mind).

Bitcoin can be seen as free speech, from the right perspective. Transactions are shouted to the world, and the world decides to write them in stone. If you want to stop bitcoin, you are infringing on the freedom of speech. (I can no longer share this information with the network.) Every thing is open and available for the world to audit. The servers are decentralized.

Now this messaging app is also a form of speech, but it's proprietary. There is nothing free about it. The source is closed. The servers are centralized. (I'm making some assumptions here, I didn't bother to do any research. If I'm wrong, my bad.)

WTF is wrong with the world when this messaging app is worth billions of dollars? Fuck it, Bitcoin will probably fail because people are ignorant assholes! Wink


Because they are being held dumb by their governments, our task is to teach them.

The U.S. Supreme court ruled that money is speech. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citizens_United_v._Federal_Election_Commission
But as far as I know, only California has determined that Bitcoin is money. I actually agree with those that hold that its a commodity. It may become money at some point, but not yet.

I forgot to mention something before, basing trades only and purely on indicators and charts is plain ridicules, market sentiments, news and rumours, insider trading and some other things can ruin your plans (and there I fucked up many times), also the waves of adoption rate can make a difference.

I shared my TAs on this thread only few times, and I found it hard to understand people who base their predictions only on news or only on TAs, as you can recall my arguments with Risto, he based his calls on pure TA ( and the Ego involved wasn't acceptable for me, maybe his ego stepped on my ego which I totally admit).

but from this Gox mess, I feel more confident about not just bottoming yet, nevertheless the TA could show a bottom forming but Mtgox BS could effect that, we will see in which way.

this is only my opinion (no financial advise).

Sorry but you don't get indicators this clear every day

you brought a funny story to my memory, I have a friend who lived in France that was invited to work in Qatar,  he earn a good salary there and have a paid flat and paid car and (paid expenses in general), the only thing he spends on is food and luxury, depends on what luxury means, usually our priorities are different, what is luxury for me could be obligation for you, but knowing my friend pretty good (my best friend) I know for sure that he is not the kind of person who spends but the kind of who like to save to do big things.

this bring us to the story, he has been in Qatar for several years now and last year he came to visit me here (summer time), and while discussing life matters with him he asked me about my opinion on investing some of the money he saved, he was thinking about investing €20K ( I didn't mention that he is a journalist and I am an IT engineers) so I responded right away buy some bitcoins, the price was around $70-90...

after explaining the whole thing to him with excitements, he said nah what ever... the funny thing is that he visited me back in December 2013 and asked me again the same question, and I told him if you invested into Bitcoin you would have 10 times more what you've invested, but he kept his opinion and told me nah now it is too late.

the moral of story, people usually doesn't see the bottom of things (that you see), no matter how you try with them, it doesn't interest them and that is it, for instance it took me a year and a half to convince my co-workers to try out Bitcoin and it took me 15 minutes to convince the computer hardware online store to add bitcoin as a payment method (www.sestavi.si  if you are interested)

You all seem to forget that its very likely 90% of the coins were sold by one person.


That is crazy talk!!!!   Who is this supposed one person that "very likely" sold 90% of the BTC?


The only reason
Please see my thread "problems besides mtgox" to learn about the 20 other things going on besides mtgox.

read it and agree with most of it.  Bitcoins not finished, but people paying + $600, are just clinging on to their dream in my opinion..

I might come back when BTC is back around $100.  feel very sorry for those that brought and held at + $900

regulation issues
legal issues
technical issues
community trust issues

where would serious new investment come from under these conditions?

Lol. There's enough fiat sitting in exchanges today to take the price to >$1500.

Really. Some of you simply astound me.


WindJC:  I agree with your overall suggestion that currently BTC is undervalued - however, the mere fact that there is a lot of cash on reserve in the exchanges does NOT necessarily translate to that fiat raising the BTC price... .and that is for a couple of reasons....

first, there is always going to be a certain percentage of fiat on the reserves in the exchanges (maybe 10% or more).. maybe currently, fiat is at an all time high level on the exchanges.. and that would be another story to compare percentage of fiat now as compared to the average...

second, some of that fiat may be destined to be removed.. but just has NOT been removed yet. .. that may be a small percentage.. but it maybe that some waiting to remove is going on...

Some would call me a troll, but here you go

No coins at all. Fail.

No coins on an exchange. I would call that a win! Wink

Good point. I retract and apologize.  mmitech, You may want to keep your coincount to yourself. It's not worth exposing your total stash just to win a pecker-flexing contest.

Looks like you're in this game since 2011. If you have less than 4 digits of coins to your name, somewhere down the road you screwed up.

A lot of people made the mistake of not holding during those early years! A lot of coins were lost on shady exchanges and obvious scams.

Although, I still think Bitcoin is extremely undervalued, but I try to avoid talking about the exchange rate (I'm biased). A fucking messaging app sold for $19 billion... I know it's apples and oranges, but Bitcoin provides far, far more utility than a messaging app.

currently bitcoin market cap is slightly more than......     ROVIO.

rovio, this fulminant gaming giant. they own angry birds.  Roll Eyes

bitcoin plays in the same league as angry fkn birds.

Looks like a bit of FUD elsewhere on this forum might have sparked this mini Gox flash-crash.
