[m3g4tr0n]

The next 12 hours hours are going to be good. The China BS has already left it's mark. Square is integrating bitcoin. April 1st is creeping across the globe. I'm feeling optimistic.

BTC is just playing an April Fool's joke on us by going down in prices...lol

Apparently the Caixin report has not been confirmed or denied yet with respect to bank accounts. 

On one hand, AFAIK there have been so far no reports of blocking of CNY deposits via the exchanges' bank accounts.  So it is still possible that the Caixin report was wrong on this point.

On the other hand, Bter was told by a payment processor that it was suspending payments by order higher orders.  So the Caixin report was at least partly true.

From the price changes, it seems that the market was a little more pessimistic today (Monday), but the uncertainty pretty much remains the same as yesterday's.

Again, if the bank blockade rumor is denied tomorrow, is seems likely that the price will rebound to near Wednesday's levels.  (There may be even a temporary spike to higher levels, if the Chinese rush to buy back before the arbitrage traders can move back to China all the coins that they took out.)

If the blockade is confirmed, the price can only drop:  a little or a lot, I would not dare to guess.

By the way, I found this in a Chinese CERT meeting report:

我国政府网站频繁遭受黑客组织攻击，其中“匿名者”等黑客组织至少入侵我国境内超过600个网站。继央行明确不认可比特币后，央行官方网站和新浪(60.41, 1.46, 2.48%)官方微博遭受黑客攻击。

Google Translate: "Our government website frequently suffered hacker attacks organization , which " Anonymous " hacker group , such as the invasion of our country at least more than 600 sites. Following the central bank clearly does not endorse Bitcoin, the central bank official website and Sina ( 60.41 , 1.46 , 2.48% ) official micro-blog being hacked ."

+1 Nice post.

Of course, some are so blinded by their ego they are unwilling to explore arguments that run counter to their own.

just like this guy ^^ doesnt have a clue.

I explore all arguments fairly. I never guarantee anything, although creekbore would have you believe that in his strawman arguments.

and I dont know where our disagreement came in creekbore, because you dont have an argument.

I gauge each individual by what they post, not what someone else posts about them (although I do use what someone says about others to gauge their own character).

Just what I need, another person judging me on shallow evidence.

creekbore has been stalking me for a while, and he's made this personal. If I lose my patience the last thing Im worried about is looking like a jerk.

I work with the information I have. I don't know any of you personally, so posts are all I have to go on. You neither need nor not need me judging you. It should be neutral for you. That is to say, since we don't know each other at all, my opinion of you should mean nothing to you on an emotional level.

Posters talking about other posters are opinions, not facts, and are not reliable information. When someone is publicly slamming another person, it's kind of redundant to say it's been made personal.

EDIT: If my opinion does actually turn out to matter to you, I don't have a problem with you (or creekbore, really), if that's what you're assuming by my responses.

Now I am seeing a half moon in the top right as well as gonzo.

And now the cookie monster!!

Love your work Comboy!!!!

Everyone's opinions matter to me, that's why I can get very impatient considering every tom dick and harrys opinion with charity.
you make sense, and Im glad to have you on the discussion forum. creekbore is an utter troll. interrupting, changing subject, ad hominen this, strawman that. I just cant take it any more, and I just want to break him. - just read his motto - cynical lazy and insolent since 1968.
back to discussion.

I've had my issues with Creekbore too, yet nonetheless, it is probably a losing argument to engage in abstract arguments about what he may have posted in the past...... and in that regard, probably better to just leave the arguments to future posts.  

Sometimes, people will get better at making more fair arguments and renditions of facts.. etc etc... .. but if the battle turns into a personal or character attacks on both ends then both posters will likely lose, and NO one is really interested in reading those kinds of posts...

In my experience and opinion, they are losers to try to wage character battles.... except to the extent, possibly, to weave them into substantive arguments and to point out fallacies of the other guys approach, to the extent the other guy is engaging in those kinds of tactics.. ... but still better, in my thinking, to attempt to address the substantive arguments first.... so it seems.
