This stability is quite impressive. Bravo bitcoin, bravo!
don't be fooled. "stable" also means that it counter-reacts to applied forces and balances back to its state before the event. in the last weeks, there was no force to the price - just look at the low volume! once (if ever) the volume rises again, we will see if it is stable. for me, right now it is just "dead" and boring. |

Wait, bitcoin is dead?? SELL SELL SELL. Then again, contrarian traders like myself have done very well on bitcoin recently. BUY BUY BUY. |

As soon as enough traders become convinced it will not move, it will move.
Which direction? I feel that people are becoming more confident now that the price is holding steady, and good news in the next couple weeks may spark a rally. Gut feeling. |

Actually the MtGox price seems to be lagging atm. Even some of Gox's own currency markets are out performing the USD/BTC rates. To say nothing of quite a few other markets around the world.

With the dollar appreciating and flight from the euro, a stable USD/BTC might be an attractive hedge. |

If a lot of people start using them as a hedge, the price will rise. Then people will be wanting to hold betty not only because they have a stable value...but because they have a rising value! ralley. |

The BTC market is too small to be a hedge of any kind. But stability will be good especially for merchants and sellers using bitcoins.

A betty is the BTC:USD pair? I don't follow what you're saying, the Bitcoin central bank will peg the BTC to the Euro? Or you mean before Zurich threw the wrench into the rally? Yes, this would be an ideal scenario, if it's easy to sell your european currency (euro, kroner, swissy) for btc (because it's seemingly pegged to the dollar) then it will appreciate even against the dollar. This would be an excellent development ahead of a Greek default. |

Due to lack of interest, the rally has been cancelled.

No Nagle, this is just the brief calm before the storm and then it's up, up, up TO THE MOON!
Is anyone still this delusional at the moment? I need some entertainment.

Just remember, when we quickly rise past 50 you should sell big. Then you will be like the suckers who sold when we went from 1 to 4 before going up to 30. |

Be thankful. If they held on and dumped at $20 you may never have seen $30. Although your advice is good. While it's good strategy to sell at any price (as you receive mined BTC) when a stock is trending down it's a good idea to hold and simply adjust your stop losses when it trends up. |

Absolutely. Wildly optimistic speculation combined with hoarding. But most of all: silkroad. Of those hoarding is back with a vengeance. Silkroad is still around, but not acting as much of a demand on the supply. All we need now is another catalyst for the wildly optimistic speculation and we're off to the races again. But probably not until after the holidays and capitulation. |

Stop losses could hurt you if its just a temporary bounce...as happened in May. |

I have quite a few grand that finally transferred into Dwolla a week or two ago. Usually I buy right away, but I'm now one of those waiting to be convinced it won't move before I help move it... (The Dwolla lady that called me, wondering what the heck, and verifying my identity, sounded very nice. I just hope Dwolla doesn't get Goxed) |
