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

[CEG5952]

I got a small deposit (100€) in yesterday at Bitstamp and now they want me to answer 5 questions.
[ ... ]

Probably it is not Bitstamp that selects the unlucky customers who will get those questionnaires.  There may be some agency that checks all deposits (by hand or through some algorithm) and picks the "suspicious" ones, that Bitstamp is required to question further.

"Artificial intelligence" algorithms are now routinely used by banks to spot possible card theft, and by governments to spot possible tax evasion.  

100E? Is this for real? I'm not gonna send money to Bitstamp again. Any fiat will go through Bitfinex for now, until better options arise. Too many reports of this. I have become too fearful that they will freeze my funds to keep money there. What if they don't like my answers? What if they try to say my coins are from SR or something?

[JorgeStolfi]

What if, let´s say i sold some bags of heroin on SR.2.0, just to make sure that i have enough money to feed my kids and get some fresh brown powder for me, and i would cash that out through Bitstamp. Would i be considered as a criminal? Is it more likely that my funds would get frozen? Or is the risk just as high as for anyone else? I thought drugs are legal in Slovenia? Could Bitstamp still get problems if they helped me selling my "drugmoney"? Until now it worked pretty fine.

Sigh.  Keep trying, perhaps I will learn to love bitcoin this way.

I am very confused Jorge. I thought you had said earlier that you're not planning to invest in Bitcoin? And now you're actually asking about presumably illegal activities and drugs. I'm disappointed :/

It's a newbie "JorgeStofli" account.  Now we have two of them.  

Edit: (perhaps already mentioned) We need to make sure not to get "JorgeStofli" confused with the real "JorgeStolfi"  

I guess the "lf" has been switched on the newbie.

[KFR]

They both make about as much sense as each other any way.

Get ready for a shakeout to 555.

But it won't go lower, so buy them quick if it does.

Explanation

[Wary]

ATH increase in relation to the previous one will get lower and lower (and the growth spurts will be closer and closer together). It's a dampening effect

It (the bolded up part) should be happening, theoretically, but can we see any empirical evidence to it? The 8-months pattern holds so far.

I think it's a sad day when one of Argentina's preeminent number theorists turns out to be a drug trafficker

But surely with all that training for intellectual precision his 'shit' will be top quality. His classes must be way more fun that he is on here.

[wasserman99]

So I guess with all the bulls and bears having taken sides over the past few days -- big surprise: more sideways. Another week of sideways wouldn't even surprise me at this point.

Did you get your daily "readings of Freud to negrito countries" from Argentina yet?





Don't ask.

I wouldn't be surprised if it's right up there. If you have a quick sniff around bigger ones show up.

This   http://www.gaiaonline.com/forum/chatterbox/kimiko-s-corner-it-r0xx0rz-my-b0xx0rz/t.212211_1/  has nearly 110,000 pages. I have no plans to read the whole thing. I might've read all of this thread though.

Hey, if it can happen to Walter White... I can definitely see a resemblance.

So now OKcoin is the new leader exchange

meh, okcoin got caught faking volume did they not? i don't take volume on any of the Chinese exchanges seriously, and okcoin i would ignore more than any other.

[cmacwiz]

Everyone speculates about chinese traders on this thread. Are there any chinese traders here, in the thread? There's gotta be some kind of bitcoin online community for china, no? I am interested, as everyone talks of the chinese traders like they are a completely separate and mysterious entity.
