OH HELLO THERE

I bet the seller didn't expect that

They must be asleep...

Should be a fun ride when they have to buy back their stash even higher

Braintree, the eBay subsidiary that runs a payment system used by popular mobile apps, plans to announce that its customers can start accepting bitcoin, according to two sources.

The move would allow websites and apps that run payments through Braintree (part of eBay’s PayPal) to start accepting bitcoin as a payment method, these people said. Braintree’s most popular customers include Uber, Airbnb and HotelTonight. It’s not clear which, if any, of these customers will choose to accept the digital currency.

The move is not expected to extend to PayPal or eBay, at least for now. One source said Braintree is working with bitcoin company Coinbase to process the bitcoin payments.

Braintree is expected to announce the news in the near future — perhaps as early as today. The Wall Street Journal first reported that Braintree was in talks with bitcoin companies to accept the digital currency.

A bitcoin is generated when computers running specialized software solve complex mathematical equations. It has gained popularity over the past year as speculators have bought the currency with the hope that its value will increase over time. Some well-known companies, including Dell and Overstock.com, have also started to accept bitcoin as a payment method. Bitcoin is currently valued at about $476, after soaring above $1100 late last year.

Meanwhile it's 7.5k BTC on stamp to even get to $500.

Heavy ask side usually means we're going up and vice versa

How do you figure? It requires way more money to go up with larger ask walls.

Down to 5.5k BTC (nearly a million $US gone)

This means absolutely nothing. It's not a significant news at all, it will not produce buying nor selling pressure, it will just produce a small playground for speculators to play 1-2 day game with a small fluctuation.

Only a maroon would invest their money here. Bitcoin continues to make lower highs and lower lows, to the point that $475 is supposed to make us excited now?  



Cut your loose now! That's my advice.

Where did all the Bears go that were here like an hour ago? Do they go into hibernation when the price goes up $20?

If we cross 480 on stamp and don't retrace back below it, Bulls win this dip and sellers sold for nothing, again.
