I heard if it rises to a certain point, you automatically lose and must just by the coins or something to that effect.

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, which will follow the rules of the network no matter what miners do. Even if every miner decided to create 1000 bitcoins per block, full nodes would stick to the rules and reject those blocks.
Advertised sites are not endorsed by the Bitcoin Forum. They may be unsafe, untrustworthy, or illegal in your jurisdiction.

LOL!.  Zhoutong is going to bitch slap liquidate all of your short selling accounts w/o notice. he can't afford to consult you about it as the price rises.  its either you or him and you know who he'll choose. Grin

don't expect him to follow any rules.

Nice to finally see a bull around here that has the stamina of a bear.  Take 'em down, cypherdoc.  Let's not let the bastards get to us.

GoWest, where's the $5.5 you promised us in your predictions just a few weeks ago? Wink

why so hostile towards shorting?  if you dont get over-leveraged, theres not an issue with margin calls... and a short position acts as a hedge if BTC crashes, minimizing losses.

I've noticed some times after a long drop, it'll surge and I'm thinking this is why.  Like once it surged from $5 to $7 for 30 minutes and I think what happened was someone bought a little and then it forced all the shorts to have to buy it back and they all did it at once.

It's quite possible that we see much more rise and what we have seen a couple of hours ago is just the beginning.

It's also quite possible that Jesus will return.

So has anyone had this happen to them yet?

Looking at recent activity, it is slowly climbing back up.  I still think it'll hit its lowest at the end of November.

Not me, I got out after seeing that big ass wall at 2.  I do expect it isn't over, but the near future is uncertain.
