$6 today?!

[Mark Oates]

that 6.60 wall is getting smaller and smaller

[ineededausername]

back to 6

I'm sure we'll be under $6 any minute now.

Edit:  And as I posted that, there it went.

ready for a ride to 5.75  

hah, it's going right back up!  Get on board the rally train!

[Mark Oates]

a good patron @ 5.95

[Mark Oates]

buyers are filling in.

woah, $3000 seller drop.

[Piper67]

The ask depth is looking a little scary right now.  I really hope it fills back in.

Scary for you

Scary for a lot of people.  I'm worried that if we snowball into the same sort of behavior we saw last April through June we're likely to see the same sort of long term reversal.  I don't think the integrity of the project can handle that a second time.

You expecting another mtgox hack? Maybe another mybitcoin fiasco? Perhaps another allinvain theft or bitomat scandal?

No?

Ok then...

I'm sure we will see many scandals yet unfortunately.

Unfortunately, I agree. The split-key stuff can't get developed fast enough IMO. It won't prevent all scandals, but it will put a HUGE dent in the numbers when it gets used properly.

just like gpg, truecrypt, dropbox, backups, safe deposit boxes, etc. don't get used properly.

And then bitcoin banks will form to keep everyone's bitcoins safe.  But now the banksters are the sysadmins and hackers that understand how the magical money machine works.

Banks may form as management concerns. Bitcoin's transparency effectively limits (even negates) the banking institutions' ability to simply make off with assets... eventually.

A major reason for the success of frauds that occurred during the bubble was that the Bitcoin community, although largely self-policing, didn't (and still doesn't) have enough social exposure and credibility to effect legal repercussions. If most people knew what a Bitcoin was, it would've easy to make the issue a police or court matter.

As it stands now, Bitcoin-related crimes are still met with a blank stare, as though you've suggested that a three-toed Martian leper stole all your hair follicles to build a living string instrument and you want them back.

Good point.

I do rather like that choice of words.

It happened. He stole the pictures, too.

can you picture $7 in 30mins?

Not only can I picture it, I can profit from it .

[deepceleron]

how much btc do you bulls did eat in the 6$ range? i still see 25k btc at 7$, 200k volume in 24h ....

The amount traded overall throughout today is higher than the average, but there's been no 20k spikes or such, several lower buys (and sells). Buying 20k BTC now costs $150K+.

Here's the current 5-day volume, and in addition is the true range analysis, so you can see how much BTC value was eaten up by one buy or dump. You can see that the depth has been eaten up around the trading price by the increasing spreads.

Heh.  Time to resurrect this thread?

Wow. The major correction finally came - there goes my bubble theory. I guess it's good I didn't invest too much into the bubble buildup.

[Tuxavant]

Personally, I think we need a new thread for $7.

I think that the bear coalition,
headed by the prediction of S3052 (he says "short")
will hit 6 ($6.58 atm)
