118 on bitstamp he means.  i always wonder why people do large buys. if they made several smaller buys, they could probably get more coins.... unless this is an attempt at manipulation.

Mentally, I pick the highest exchange rate (MtGox) for knowing what my BTC is worth and look at the lowest going rate when I want to buy!   Roll Eyes

You consider the exchange's solvency when considering exchanging BTC for fiat?

The volume-weighted average of the reasonably functional BTC-USD exchanges would be more instructive.  Including Mt. Gox (i.e. assuming that 1 Mt. Gox USD has a value equal to that of 1 USD) in a calculation of "BitcoinAverage" is misleading.

So you base your worth on an exchange value of an exchange that may be insolvent? May as well be playing monopoly or using a demo MT4 trading account.

Have no clue where you are coming up with that??? Sounds more argumentive then anything.  Since I don't intend on selling for a really long time, it is irrelevant what exchanges exist today or what their financial stability is. Whenever I am ready to exchange BTC for fiat then I would of course consider those factors.  I just mentioned that I mentally look at the highest price when I evaluate my own BTC portfolio.  It would be sorta foolish to look at the cheapest rate.  I only look at cheapest rates when buying gas....thats because I intend to purchase it within the week.

I really am unsure of where the price is headed short term.

A buy volume chart of all exchanges would be a key indicator, but this info seems hard to find. I cant wait for BTC's future and proper trading platforms/tools

i always wonder why people do large buys.

maybe from the buyer's perspective, it was a small buy, because maybe they don't want to spend their 15 million all at once
