Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion

[OldGeek]

This is a little off topic, but what hasn't been for the last week or so   

So... I was gonna donate a little and got to this page:

Code:

english version

It’s been a while now since we promised ourselves to explain why we do not accept Bitcoins as
 donation method.  To summarize, the list of reasons we all agreed are the following:

1 they are not really anonymous (it is stated also on their official website)

2 we pay our services in Euro or in Dollar, not in Bitcoin, for this reason we should then 
convert them anyway. To convert them we should be using one of these Bitcoins exchange 
sites which are not that transparent and who control a big amount of the total Bitcoin traffic 
and it’s not proven that they are any better than normal banks.

3 we feel a general hatred for Bitcoins and their financial speculations which at the moment 
are holding the Bitcoin market. We all have seen the trend over time of this new coin and it 
looked pretty much like the typical behavior of an investment subject to speculative bubbles 
and we do not consider this a behavior of a ‘comunitarian’ coin.

To summarize even more: bitcoins do not give us any specific advantage compared to a 
normal bank account and we are lazy. the real anonymous donations are made in a sealed 
envelope using latex gloves.

Also at this point it seems pretty clear to us that to consider Bitcoin as a “currency”  is ‘a little’ 
improper: Bitcoin are an investment fund pump & dump done to dupe the ultra-libertarian 
anarco-capitalists.

In short, we find ourselves with a certain unease to participate actively in this financial 
game.

English is not their first language, but they made their statement pretty clear.  We have quite
a ways to go before global acceptance is assured.

Who is this?

It is 14:00 in China, so Huobi must have started trading LTC.  Their BTC price dropped a little,  volume seems to have doubled, but all within the usual volatility...

I'm not giving a shit. It's their loss, not ours.

Just look at the story of Overstoke and Tigerdirect. People will soon realize that they can't afford NOT to accept bitcoin

As bitcoiners, what we should do is to put bitcoin-accepting merchants at a higher priority.

The paranoid attribute to conspiracy what is actually just the normal, healthy process of price discovery.  Humans are so pathetic at reasoning about ensemble mechanics.  Sucks to be one.

[JorgeStolfi]

Huobi is undergoing a micro-crash. Trading suddenly and almost completely stopped for 4-5 minutes just before that, and it still seems to be hiccupping. DDOS? Overload?

Adding LTC

[chessnut]

if you ask me, it's a fantastic time to be shorting EDIT:LTCBTC right now. that way, you can hang on when BTC goes to da moon, and take advantage of this LTC bs.

[Davyd05]

2600 ltc, biggest buy I've seen roll by, the pump vs dump is strong in the ltc today

[RicePicker]

Much pump and dump LTC. Glad I shorted the hell out of it when it was $20. Back to BTC watching now.

[pdawg]

Much pump and dump LTC. Glad I shorted the hell out of it when it was $20. Back to BTC watching now.

how did you short it?  bitfinex?

[koryu]

Much pump and dump LTC. Glad I shorted the hell out of it when it was $20. Back to BTC watching now.

that was a nice rally

the money will come back from ltc to btc now, so prepare for increased btc volume soon (on all exchanges trading ltc and btc).

anybody tries to catch the falling ltc knife?

[chessnut]
