Last block on blockchain.info is over 2 hours old. Is there a tread about this?
I'm seeing 302879 through 302881 which are less than 2 hours old... Nevertheless, it is odd to see 3 blocks in the space of 2 hours... EDIT: This seems absolutely real, not a blockchain.info glitch. 3 blocks in the last 2 hours. Accordingly, the number of transactions in each of these blocks is unusually high, and two of them are scraping the 1 MB limit.

Sweet mother.... ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2F8q6Uj3P.png&t=665&c=vvMx4rgzaC9O-g) We're retracing through this dip at a remarkable speed. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FbRUmjTY.png&t=665&c=ckWK5Wbyfk_8qQ) Hmm, not quite a 540 retest then. Thoughts on revisiting?

Yep, plus wasn't someone harking on about how this isn't a real breakout until we see increasing volume through old trendlines? Something like this ?! ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2F2cogoUD.png&t=665&c=1iKUiYsSOcYj-Q) Look at that sweet 1w MACD powering towards the green as well.

I'm glad I had a buy order at 555. I'm using my "rule of thirds" and "superstitious numbers" hypotheses for trading.

Volume looking better by the day, true. But let's not get cocky before we get to the daily SMA200 (conveniently depicted in your chart, unless I'm mistaken ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) )

Just pointing out some pluses ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

Isn't it fishy that the moment the market approaches 600... BitFinex conveniently experience a database failure, causing panic and margin traders to close their position?
The house always wins.
Sorry i ahve to agree ..there was 2 shakings of the tree and finally after it had been thinned out the big dump Clear out all margined longs ...does not go below 550 so as to not scare everbody too much & now back to the same ~570 and climbing bitfinex 500plus is an etf that trade btc ltc I gotta say Specialists aka Market makers aka insider traders aka dodgy exchanges Definately feels like a rigged carny game to me P.S I am old school & own coins so as not get caught in these lovely traps ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) I've been there since 2011. My only two actions have been: 1. Buy 2. Buy More I can move the market by a few dollars if I wanted to, but it's a one-shot deal and when it comes to money, there is no fucking around.

Well done! It seems those that are best at playing the "game" are the ones that do so using "math" and not emotions. ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) We have a more "long term" strategy and are just holding till we hit the prices (according to the SSS Plan) that we have predetermined to be the best selling points to make good gains. This run will be the first time we have really sold any (with the exception of a few here and there when we have overbought to pay bills). Go Bitcoin Go! ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

You should check other explorers. Blockchain often does this http://blockr.io/Thanks. The lower part of the window is refreshed automatically, but the upper part is static. All is fine.

I remember people saying something similar when something called 'the Internet' started to gain momentary popularity in the late 90s.
Did they? Lots of stupid things were said about the internet back then, but scamming was not as big a problem for the internet as it is in the bitcoin world. Perhaps because it was mostly classical scams (such as chain letters and credit card theft) that the police already knew how to recognize and handle. One big "advantage" of bitcoin is that law and police often cannot even tell whether a crime was committed.

Sometimes you have 2 blocks within seconds, other times you have no blocks for a few hours. Random is random.

Ha ha. I had mine at the lowest point possible (around 400 EUR) and got my orders filled. Now I regret dumping them again for very little profit. My profit could have been... er well a LOT better ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Bitcoin is c-r-a-z-y This cultist have to punish himself with this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QH2-TGUlwu4 (the 10 hour version).

I can't believe there are still people here who have that guy not on ignore.
I find most of these dingbat trolls to be at least mildly amusing. Some are occasionally hilarious. Only one is such an arrogant scumbag that I put him on ignore. Guess who. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Rpietela? LOL No. He may have overly high self esteem but he's not a troll. I'll give you a hint. It's someone whose forum name rhymes with ShatTheTwat.

One big "advantage" of bitcoin is that law and police often cannot even tell whether a crime was committed. You have a remarkably bad memory for this stuff then. I distinctly remember the repeated (ad nauseam) prediction that "e-commerce" would never take off because of the inherent risks of using your credit card online. That was before amazon put a nail into the coffin of that notion obviously.
