I just used Bitsumo last week for the first time and the experience was fantastic. Previously had been using snapcard, but they shutdown their buying service so I gave Bitsumo a try and couldn't have been happier. I wasn't sure at first since I couldn't find many reviews or info past August 2013 aside from this thread. Pablo was pleasant, very helpful and communicated what the service could and couldn't do in regards to credit card and shipping issues Bitsumo has to deal with from retailers. He recommended larger retailers, but I was still able to order from a smaller company. I received by order within a couple days. I ordered roughly $500 in gaming accessories and will be using Bitsumo again in the future. 

I believe this to be exactly what happened. 

Yes, and he has some really quite interesting ways to do it. He is publicly a bull (at least used to be, I imagine still is) and wants BTC to succeed.

So much fun, keep up the great work!  

I'm sure my fellow old timers remember.... THE MANIPULATOR! This stuff is 2011 nostalgia.

Hahah Nemesis!

Amazing! Loving the show!  

I'm not a bear troll at all, but I feel you will have the opportunity to buy more in the coming days/weeks. BTC may need to test close to the old ATH. It always has and it seems the dips into the 300s weren't enough.

What a joke. I saw that and closed the tab on my Chrome, hardly cared about the 'no innovation this year either' fest, certainly not bothering with Safari to see it.

Its amazing watching the same shit play out every freaking year on this forum. I've seen the same posts by the latest noob troll over and over and over.

Butthurt? No I’m not butthurt for evaluating litecoin when it first appears and simply putting more money into bitcoin. I was one of those people in 2011, then 2012, and then 2013... and now here in 2014. It has zero innovation, that can't be argued. Litecoin made some people good money, in some cases huge money, maybe it will make more people even more money. Good for them, they saw that opportunity from the marketing. Even I thought it was great marketing and could lead to a ‘me too’ coat tails chase. But the lack of innovation, the carbon copying of bitcoin, killed any interest on my part. The fundamentals were never there and still aren’t.

I have a keen interest in the innovative alts, but I don't like seeing garbage succeed.

The two aren't comparable. Bitcoin has earned its success through innovation, fundamentals, infrastructure all that. Litecoin has none of that and was just the 'me too, me too' coin riding Bitcoins coattails.  Litecoin always was a ripoff shitcoin that had zero innovation. It got the attention it did because of good marketing 'silver to bitcoins gold' and timing in particular with the last bubble. I personally hope it dies the death it deserves as people flock to truly innovative altcoin whatever that might be.

Yeah, this. It always seemed price in and no real effect afterwards. Oh June 2011 how long ago you now seem. I hope to look back on this summer with the same semi sorta fondness. "Damn that sucked when the expected bubble didn't happen and the price dropped in August. Well who cares since the price is now $25,436!"

Probably had their bids preplanned and placed already awaiting others to panic and sell into them.  

I've read this thread about 700 times over the last three.

Is tradingview down for anyone else? I want to see my charts damn it!

Miners, if you care about your own self interest and the source of your money, leave ghash. Keep being greedy, but do it intelligently, otherwise the dumb ghash greed will destroy you!

For sure, hundreds will always exist, but I doubt more than a handful will reach a useful mainstream status and mean anything to the world economy.

You must remember that BTC has had 5 years to grow. NXT has had 7 months and has made incredible growth but it is only 7 months. When I first heard of NXT I jumped on board immediately. I hadn't been that excited since first hearing of Bitcoin in June 2011. Back then there were no real venture capitalist investors, no angels, just people working their butts off to create the community and develop infrastructure. That is what NXT is doing right now. People believe in it far more than I've seen anyone believe in the alts. NXT isn't really an ALT ripoff coin anyway, all new code, second gen crypto.

I don't see NXT replacing BTC. I could see a future in which a couple cryptos co-exist. Visa, Mastercard, American Express.
