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...

Transactions must be included in a block to be properly completed. When you send a transaction, it is broadcast to miners. Miners can then optionally include it in their next blocks. Miners will be more inclined to include your transaction if it has a higher transaction fee.

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.  Grin

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..

I have 50k of mtgox USD locked and loaded, not on the order book anywhere, so I can dispense BTC based on market rates without worrying about my personal BTC or whether the rates will go up or down until then.

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.

That's good!  That'll buy a decent amount of BTC... at least for now.  Tongue

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 Smiley

Not sure people will care that much.

Glad I bought back in then.  Smiley

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?
