I'm going to CES for a day next week.
I understand Roger Ver (MemoryDealers) is going to be there selling physical bitcoins for cash. Since I had to drop $600 a night just to get a hotel room there - nothing on the LV strip decent available for under $400 - it's not like people there are going to be poor, nor few in numbers, nor (it being CES) will they be techno noobs.
I anticipate bringing tons of them to keep them stocked up just in case. I will probably bring several dozen 1000 BTC bars, and numerous 25 and 100 BTC items. Who knows what'll sell, but everything that sells is going to see an offsetting transaction on MtGox.
You're going to wait to fill the bars and coins until they are sold, I presume? And you don't have that much BTC, so you'll buy BTC for each one that sells? EDIT: Just bought back in with the proceeds from my last month and a half of mining that I had been selling. Sucks to effectively get half of the Bitcoins I sold, but I am very bearish at the moment. We'll see... |

I just spammed my FB hard about BTC -- 300 of the people I know best are either going to lose or win here
A few friends of mine are getting anxiously waiting right now for the dwolla deposit to show up. They have been complaining how the price have gone up so much since they decided to buy. And no I didn't let them buy my coins.  Not my problem! I've been telling them to buy since last year to take advantage of this rally in progress. Better late than never though.. |

Companies claiming they got hacked and lost your coins sounds like fraud so perfect it could be called fashionable. I never believe them. If I ever experience the misfortune of a real intrusion, I declare I have been honest about the way I have managed the keys in Casascius Coins. I maintain no ability to recover or reproduce the keys, not even under limitless duress or total intrusion. Remember that trusting strangers with your coins without any recourse is, as a matter of principle, not a best practice. Don't keep coins online. Use paper or hardware wallets instead.

You can still catch the rally with your 50k |

prepare for lift off
$10 is easy on the horizon
Seriously?! Wow, that's one of the best spots I can image to bring this technology to the media and to more people. Loads of smart and technically inclined people, who will definitely understand this much faster and see the benefits it can bring. Kudos to Bit-Pay! Let's hope the media coverage will be good  Not sure people will care that much. |

Bitcoin: the only currency you can store directly into your brain.
What this planet needs is a good 0.0005 BTC US nickel.

Glad I bought back in then. The question remains, how much of this rally is simply anticipation of the CES? How much will the price fall again after said conference is over? |
