Anyone noticed that the value of Bitcoin has risen quite a lot the last half year, regardless the price of bitcoin?
Whoa what do you mean by that? The price is the measure of how valuable a Bitcoin is, isn't it? I don't seem to be getting what you're trying to say here. Please enlighten us, man  The utility of bitcoin is the sum of the benefits derived from its applications by its users. The value of bitcoin is the size of its transactional economy over a given period. The price of bitcoin is wherever the market happens to clear. Only in the case of perfectly rational actors under perfectly efficient condtions will these three coincide.

Morning bitcoiners. Every day the next rally draws closer. A new world is coming. It doesn't involve middlemen.

Whoa what do you mean by that? The price is the measure of how valuable a Bitcoin is, isn't it? I don't seem to be getting what you're trying to say here. Please enlighten us, man  Anyone noticed that the value of the Bitcoin Network has risen quite a lot the last half year, regardless the price of 1 BTC? Meaning that because a small part of all the bitcoins in existence are being dumped it is not represantative for the entire network, wich at first was a 1200$/BTC drugs favored ponzi scheme, now it has transformed into a 567$/BTC payments network with VC firms, politicians, companies and consumers supporting it. Meanwhile people have less and less reasons to complain that only a few people have a lot of bitcoins, that is if they are smart enough to buy. Ahh that makes sense, yeah! I guess you could be right. Is that the reason why you became bullish on bitcoin now? Didn't you use to be a perma-bear? I can see how this makes you reconsider!

I have always been a long term bull, it was fonZie who used to be a bear.

Could you phrase this in a way so a normal person can understand it  But I guess you're saying that Bitcoin got more useful for the people, right? Thanks to you and fonsie for pointing that out!

I don't agree, this is just delusional stuff you are talking, a value of a bitcoin is exactly what it can be exchanged for (in terms of goods and services) compared to what can a dollar (or gold, Euro, Yen...) be exchanged for. Edit: with this logic: gold has no value and a visa card have more value than a Bitcoin.... see this is just horseshit.

cashed out my last coins... I think this sucker will still crash even more, maybe I will buy back at 300 or less, or whenever it seems right.
Did you not sell? What are you still doing here? It's a Bitcoin Forum....

This is more a philosophical question. You are both correct.

Hahaha, maybe you should just stay in the game with a single satoshi, so you can still tell people to shut up or tell them your opinion, and they can't shun you for not having any BTC, man

Not sure what a side not is, but it is my right as a bitcoin hodler to express my discomfort of the presence of a not-holder. BAM donkey kong  tuuuuut whoppa mmmm suc tech, power, oink EDIT: you missed quite the rise to 2000$ by selling too early.

No ... that is the PRICE of Bitcoin, not is VALUE, they are two totally different things (and WORTH is different thing all together again) PRICE is arrived at often where supply meets demand, and the demand of something comes from how much VALUE is placed on it by people -VALUE is usually quite subjective whilst PRICE is not. SUPPLY - DEMAND VALUE - PRICE PRICE is what you pay and VALUE is what you get. This is stuff people should learn in high school and I cannot believe this conversation is happening at all tbh

Never a bad idea to buy, hold, wait, then sell. With a long gap. Of course it depends, but for example, our favorite scenario would be to buy last year, and sell next year.

Do you guys think that the bid/ask ratio on Stamp could in reality be manipulation at its finest? I mean, they could just withdraw their FIAT to the sidelines and wait for everyone to panic. Has this happened before?

I like to Imagine its not for show sure theres some big players putting up small walls on the front lines to manipulate one way or the other... but for a while now the walls have all been mostly real, it use to be walls would often crumble under pressure, or dissapear at the tinyest nibble, we dont see that anymore, its costing more and more to manipulate the market. i see it as market manipulation is now becoming market making. its really looking UP, why is price going down? maybe the ether sale is making alot of old coin come out of the closet?
