gox is dead

Not sure if generic reply or serious comment

I mean we all know gox sucks. But its still fun to watch the market there.

monthly volume is greater than the number of all btcs mined.

It's the same bitcoins going back and forth.

Back and forth like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=58-atNakMWw

most of apple stock was never sold at an ipo... its been held from day one...

Very few Apple shares haven't traded on the open market. Apple insiders only own about .1% now.

Okay. Coin market capitalization. Anyway, if you look at BTC as a temporary store of value that can be sold for more later, then that's pretty much all a stock is.

But multiplying the number of mined coins times the current price at an exchange gives a totally bogus number.

so does trying to value the whole company of apple by what one share of stock traded at, but people do it.

Thinking about companies ...and to be more precisely not companies or stokes itself ...but about people evolved within these companies as a community of workers, investors, professionals, etc...  ...I know, Not even a good analogy .. but I just thinking if bitcoin was a center of cryptocoin industry as a whole .. our community would be like more or less like m$ ? .. thoughts ?

Short into Alts or Fiat?  (I shorted in to fiat once, lessons learned better to hold)
if selling now wasn't part of your plan your understanding of Bitcoin may be limited, this situation was always a possibility, as is $100 or $1000 a coin.

[zeroday]

I shorted a couple of coins yesterday.
The blow was great and my nose is shining.

[Mitchell]

Just wondering, what is shorting?

[Mitchell]

Just wondering, what is shorting?

it is when one sells btc to buy drugs or hookers (the correct way)

other way is when people gamble that the btc price will go down and they try to make some fiat. this works sometimes but most of the time ends in tears.

Ah, I see. Thanks man

[GigaCoin]

still HODLING !

I couldn’t find a place to post this given it probably isn’t appropriate,
But hot off the press, anyone will be able to run a Goat simulator on their old mining rig.

I don't know... seems like you might needs some hookers and blow...

Gox is going to 0 so don't worry (unless you were stupid enough to use Gox)

No no I didn't use Gox 

But everything here is so depressing, definitely need hookers and blow

Try the Goat simulation it looks fun.

[lightfoot]

I am not withdrawing, nor am I changing my consulting rates (.25btc/hr). I believe it's worth it. And if anyone needs a mining hardware brain let me know. Brain tired tonight, but I'll charge this rate regardless.
