Re: Wall Observer - MtGoxUSD wall movement tracker

Oh, and when I found it at .50 (cents), I couldn't find a place to buy some. Cry

eheheh
Memory lane...

What were your options around then? I thought there was always the OTC channel and the new liberty standard place. Maybe it was gone by then. I dunno.

I should preface that by saying I hadn't yet read the white paper. I was going off intuition to be honest. I was not into Crytpo before that (just trading and computer work).
So, I did a few searches and it just seemed like a lot of work, wasn't sure about wiring money to GOX.
And then the price was at $1 and I thought "How can a digital money be equal to a dollar?" LOL
So, my ignorance "cost" me but that white paper made a light go off in my head.

Before that moment I was a relatively early internet employee during the bubble. At that time I saw the internet as a big old Black Swann.
When I came across that white paper, I saw it as a Black Swann on steroids.

Its about sharing

Seems quite often that when people encounter bitcoin for the first time, they think it sounds too good to be true, and they come up with a reason why it won't work. A few years later, when they encounter it again, they are more likely to go for it. That promises for the next bubble given the widespread media coverage in 2013 Grin

I am still bearish for the very short term (next day or 2) though.
