Well, the only way Bitcoin can growth is by regulation.
how can you be so absolutely sure about that? Hey, it worked for illegal drugs...  |

Friday has been a big volume day the past few weeks specifically and I expect this trend to continue. Lately, we get a Friday rally with a week of at least no bad news and no expected news over the weekend. So, there's reason to look at today's positive bump as a symbol of a friendly Friday.
As I noted before, I am staying out this week because Bitfinex has a big day early next week that I am not sure they are prepared for. If I had to guess what would happen I'd expect one of three things:
(1) Small drop tomorrow with an eye towards Monday followed by a solid rally on Monday when the apocalypse doesn't occur. Odds - 60ish%
(2) Drop tomorrow with apocalypse on Monday. Odds - 1ish%
(3) Up tomorrow in regular week closing fashion as people just assume any issue on Monday is FUD and it turns out to be just that with maybe a small ten point jump early next week. Odds - 40ish%
My thoughts - I'll jump back in at the start of next week when the picture looks a little clearer. At that time, if I am lucky, coins will be cheap. More likely, they'll be within ten points give or take of where they are now (and that will neither make me nor break me).
Anyhow, that thought aside, tomorrow will probably be a more entertaining day (nothing earth shattering, but entertaining) -- Maybe a 30 point swing in either direction from today's value. Best of luck to all in making their educated guesses.

By the way, before anybody tackles me for being a purveyor of FUD, I am presently down a point from my short-term exit the other day and, albeit lightly (in terms of volume), today's Chinese traders seem to be favoring the idea that I am misguided in my views. I admit and accept these. I am just playing a hunch/guess and acknowledge that I can easily get burnt in the process. Happy trading all. We need more comments and festivities on this Board, by the way. Otherwise I'll have to go back to warring against oppressive fiat overlords in my life... and nobody really wants to see that happen. Well, then again, it is kind of fun.

With what the President has been saying about the Republicans, if she said that, he'd probably slap her. |

9 to 11 a.m. (GMT) CEX.IO will be down for scheduled maintenance due to introduction of fiat beta-testing.
Another exchange in the works it looks like. I've always suspected that miners should diversify a bit and become exchanges also. This might help hedge against the mining profitability issue.

how can you be so absolutely sure about that? By regulations ? Really? Do you think when gov will put their hands on Bitcoin transactions you will be happy and watch the rally ?  You must be kiddin. BTC is going to continue to grow with (or without) regulation. There is too much momentum and too much money being thrown at it not to. I think that a little bit of regulation will be helpful to bitcoin. I expect it to rally as a result of the NYC regulations |

Interesting idea. If miners mined directly into customers wallet, that would be extremely hard to trace. |

I mine directly into a paper wallet I created just for that purpose. The only thing keeping me from full anonymity is the fact that I'm using my own ISP instead of one of the many public hotspots available where I live. The netbook I use as host computer is fully anonymous and I could connect through a throwaway $8 USB wifi adapter with its own MAC address. Nothing fancy, just BFL Easyminer (BFGminer) through Eligius, but pretty private except for being too lazy to connect through a public hotspot. Hard to trace? It doesn't take too much to make your mining impossible to trace. You've gotta love those virgin anonymous coins, not because it's a necessity, but rather on general principles. Maybe I'm showing my age but wasn't that why my father was stationed overseas in WW2, to fight for freedom and basic rights like privacy and anonymity? |

Perhaps selling at $4500 a coin and buying at $1500 when it crashes by Decemeber |
