you guys are all gambling. period. buying or selling at this moment is just gambling - enjoy. just don't be the last person to go against the popular will.
If this is gambling, what isn't gambling? All investments are a gamble although a somewhat educated one with odds that varying in much greater ranges than casino games. Bitcoin is a gamble. yes, stock market is gambling too and most investment are "gambling" - this is clearly gambling when there are no "news" and people try to force the price one way or another - i'm not talking about gambling as in making an educated prediction based on information. i'm talking about people trading on NO information trying to use public sentiment as the only indicator. that is pure gambling. bitcoin is gamble itself yet - but, ones actually built upon educated guesses I think we have some information to go on, people are just assuming that Labcoin isn't going to fall-through with this next milestone. |

Nobody here has any more information regarding this. Interpret "early this week" however you want. I'd still count Wednesday as early. |

E.g. in most EU countries, the week starts with Monday. |

not everyone needs a distinction between investing and gambling for their own religious and cultural rationalizations |

Sure, that's why it's the last day of the weekend.  The international ISO 8601 standard places Monday as the first day of the week, and this is widely used on calendars in Europe and in international business. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monday#Position_in_the_week |

"The entire business and western world" being the U.S.? "The entire business and western world" also uses imperial units right? Weird third world countries and their metric system.. Also, just because I'm curious... what days are "the week end" for you? |

If you don't think Sunday is where the week starts then maybe you should go back to primary. |

Or maybe you should just accept that not everyone has to think your way, and that it's a fact that for most of the world, the week doesn't start with sunday. |

The First Day of the Week
The first day of the week varies all over the world. In most cultures, Sunday is regarded as the first day of the week although many observe Monday as the first day of the week. According to the Bible, the Sabbath or Saturday is the last day of the week which marks Sunday as the first day of the week for many Jewish and Christian faiths, while many countries regard Monday as the first day of the week.
According to the international standard ISO 8601, Monday shall be the first day of the week ending with Sunday as the seventh day of the week. Although this is the international standard, countries such as the United States still have their calendars refer to Sunday as the start of the seven-day week.

I dunno about the rest of you but I come to this forum for debates about what day the week starts with. Maybe next we can debate the use of commas and periods for decimal marks? Forget about just being quiet and waiting for any updates from the company, please do fill up our time with as many tangents as possible.
