Re: I've convinced my partner to have a bitcoin. Do I buy now or wait until morning?
Well I just woke up (working late shifts this week) and she was already up and about. She fetched me a cup of tea and I told her I'd been up late and showed her a new Electrum wallet I'd created for her with the wallet.dat in her name, containing 1.00996667 BTC. I'd bought 1.01 in case some of it got sucked up by transaction fees.
She seemed quite happy with the GBP equivalent but a face of mild concern about having money in this new thing she doesn't fully grasp
I said, "See all those extra decimal places? If the price goes up you can use those to buy something nice and still have 1 left.". She said if the price goes up she'd put £300 of it back into her savings, where it came from. I guess she still doesn't see it as a currency in its own right. She's gone out now, she's happy enough and might change her mind about it being a viable currency if/when she gets to use it.
Before she went she let me use a double dildo on her whilst letting me piss in her hair.
^That last bit's to keep Gingermod happy.

And well played.
Re: 10/21 EMA has crossed! Weekly MACD set to cross up! Full Moon in 7 days!
Which might still come, by the way. Retesting the first retracement level at ~530 is still a possibility, but that's more a thought in the back of my mind rather than a likely scenario right now.
Every ounce of common sense in my head tells me that Bitcoin is more likely than not to test the 32% Fib retracement ratio at $580,
forget common sense....tell us what your dreams say...
I just got a call from my bank. Coinbase is trying to withdraw money from my checking account when I have NOT made a purchase and I have NOT authorized it to do so. The only reason why my bank called me is because, according tot he lady that called me, "we're having a ton of problems with coinbase attempting to withdraw money from our customer accounts so we have been instructed to call and verify EVERY withdrawal attempt from coinbase with the customer before allowing anything."
My wallet SEEMS intact and I see all my coins (I suppose that doesn't actually mean I still have them right?) but it's rather disturbing that coinbase is trying to take money from me when I have not purchased anything as of late. I checked my coinbase account (changed the pw) and do NOT see any pending transactions.
It seems coinbase has been compromised.
I've emailed support since coinbase does not have a freakin' phone number and aslso pm'd Olaf (coinbase).
Anyone else with coinbase having similar issues?
Hopefully, it's ok to discuss this in this subforum.
Also, any advice on recommended next steps would be appreciated. TIA

Oh no, I'm still here.

Why is the black lady from the matrix on a bitcoin forum?
Because the black lady from the matrix is called, "The Oracle"
I like it.
The actress who played her died and was replaced before the 3rd act.
*/ dark foreshadowing */
but it's not about the actress. It's about the charachter she portrayed. Wait a minute....didn't the Oracle die in the matrix too (I can't remember)?
Crap

Re: How long until Oprah discusses Bitcoin? What effect will it have on the price?
I think we should get a Bitcoin blimp and have it fly around the world, esp. during sports games.
The super bowl is right around the corner.
I didn't read all the posts, but I see users talking about the accurate predictions of the OP, looking to his stats beside being an early adopter (2010) he seems to spend allot of time on Indian sub-forums or related threads to India, which means that he is from India or an enthusiastic of its culture.
that been said, India is a poor country with a very rich culture, one of the most attractive things are the Vedas, you can learn allot of things, so my silly guess is that he uses astrology in his predictions and if this is true he has to be a kick ass astrologist
I cant say that I am believer in astrology, but the relation between it and between astronomy doesn't seem to be a coincidence, I didn't spend allot of time to study this subject for one reason, assuming that astrology gives us the possibility of "predicting" the future and knowing things that might happen keeps me away of it, I like to live my unpredictable life and be surprised with every event, "knowing" about things and wait for them to happen or try to trick the universe doesn't work for me.... my faith is my destiny, this is what I believe.
sorry for the off-topic post, but I just wanted to point that out

IMO, you're way off base with the astrology connection (in that I dont think he uses astrology to predict btc prices) and I really think you're reaching there...but of course I could be the one who's wrong.
Whatever it is.....he's been pretty accurate and I've been following this thread since it started.
- Beware! We are seeing a huge market manipulation!
Care to elaborate a bit?
This is one of two threads on the entire front page of this sub forum that would've helped me realize profits or increased my btc holdings had I been trading along with it.

Real appreciation for Op would be donating some to OP , check Op's sig.
I'm aware. Once I begin trading I fully intend to donate (assuming I do as well as I would have had I been trading to this point).
I know talk is cheap but I'm not here trying to convince anybody anything.
This number doesn't really have that much significance. Obviously every bitcoin user is going to rush and make an order the first day to test out the system (or inflate the numbers). But what does it say about sales over a whole year? Or how many new users it'll attract?
Yeah but you have to admit it's a pretty nice way to kick things off.
That said, I do agree that solid annual numbers would be of more significance.
Its an extra 124k in sales (on 1 day!) for little effort, little cost, and little risk. why not except btc?
You're preaching to the choir bud!
I just hope Amazon is keeping a close eye on this. Probably safe to assume they are. But also probably safe to assume they're going to want a bigger sample size of data (as Tera is alluding to)before jumping in.

Why would a company want to integrate BTC to their game when they can just use their own currency?
Xbox Points, Fifa Coins, WoW GOLD etc... They take your money and convert it into a currency which you can NEVER SPEND ANYWHERE ELSE. That is the most important factor. They don't want you spending that money anywhere else. Using BTC would be the exact opposite of what they are trying to achieve. If you think any company is gonna allow you to withdraw in-game currency to pay for your car you are mad. That is exactly what they fight against.
Now 'Gaming' on the other hand (I mean gambling), Yes BTC could be huge. Right now many companies are struggling with anti-gambling regulation around the world. Using Bitcoin they can subvert that process.

They monetize their game (provided for free) with Bitcoin. They sell virtual items directly to the player for bitcoin. They attract players by offering the possibility to "earn" money by searching for various virtual items. Of course, the majority are going to simply pay to win (this assumption is drawn from years of gaming experience). It basically functions like a casino where the house always has the advantage and the player feels like they can win money by playing.
A lot of popular games have gone down this route (free games monetized through in game purchases). It's a nice system. It also happens to mesh with Bitcoin quite well.
I believe you're referring to microtransactions which have become a prevailing trend in gaming (I'm referring to video games) much to the chagrin of gamers (but that's a whole other topic). And yes, the concept would mesh extremely well with bitcoin IMO and it seems Zynga agrees.

aka take your money (bitcoin) and convert it into their own in-game 'currency', what's the difference?
The distinction dg2010 is trying to make is that contrary to what the OP suggested, BTC is unlikely to be an in-game currency as developers are not incentivized to incorporate it with the current system in place. Whether or not you turn fiat or btc into in-game currency is a different issue and beside the point in this case.

Good call, arepo. Let's see what the next days bring.
Ignore the people who think it all reduces to news. News matters, but not in the way they think it does.

i appreciate the advice but i guess i am a compulsive teacher
my only hope is that even if my patient explanations don't find their way into T's thick skull (
) there are lurkers who are following who might now think twice before buying into the rally-on-news-crash-on-news mania.--arepo
You (and other posters) have definitely changed my noobish mentality on the whole news factor and it's supposed impact.
Hey Arepo,
Just wanted to say that I appreciate your posts and this thread in particular. I'm as hopeful as T. Stuart is for the long term but not sure how he justifies flippantly marginalizing your hard work, which since I began tracking it, has been extremely accurate.
While I can appreciate his enthusiasm and tend to agree that hodling will yield long term benefit and gain, isn't there value in short term gains in earning some fiat or making the right moves to maximize your btc holdings as well? IDK, I'm just a dumb noob with much to learn.
