Coinbase is almost as expensive as Gox now.   Are they are struggling with the influx of new buyers/subscribers, it looks like the number of wallets is up 30k in the last couple of weeks.

I learned this lesson long time ago: never ... sell ... bitcoins ...
Of course if I can buy something using them I'm doing this right away.

This should almost completely dismiss the claim that Americans have funds "stuck" on Gox and are looking to get off.  You could now buy there and sell on Coinbase with like a 3% spread..

My thoughts exactly.  

As I understand it they often source from Bitstamp, but I suspect that when they get stretched it shows in the price and spread.

I guess you are one of those guys who sold bitcoin's and now are hitting wall with yours head because you regret this? It looks like this anyway. I'm sorry for you but I wouldn't count on lower prices in the future anyway. Bitcoin is not going to wait for you.

Ya, I wouldn't be fooled into thinking they just profit off bank transfers.  They've got enough spread between buy/sell...  Right now, in the US, I suspect they're leveraging the sort of monopoly position they have for quick bank transfers.  Sounds like Circle may change that.

Very bad guess...

No, I am one of the guys who bought in 2010 and sold my whole stack at at current prices... There is no way I would ever regret this...

I guess you are one of the guys who bought at 120-150 will be the guy who is shitting his pants when we see 100.... or lower....

Well done, you must have paid about 10 cents or less and look at a 2000 x gain in three years, just because  most people hadn't  heard of Bitcoin in 2010  doesn't mean it's  a bad idea.

I'll say "Well done" when it DOESN'T go up to $10,000 or more. If it does, it wasn't well done giving up millions of dollars.

Unfortunatly it was a bit more than a few cents.... but lets talk in again in a few month from now...everyhing else is speculation

And you are right, most people have never heard about bitcoin.... and never will.

What makes you so sure that we will only go up from here ? Bitcoin has proven to be very volatile and we know that every rally comes to an end.

Everything which goes up, especially as parabolic as bitcoin, will come down at some stage. The only question is, how deep will it go. I don´t believe it will be single digits, but double digits could very well happen. In my view much more likely than another 100% up.

I wish I could share your optimism. I might be in the game for too long to be that optimistic. I can remember that I found $20 too expensive to buy any additional coins.... and that´s only a few month ago...
