I think the general bitcoin community feels bitcoin is worth atleast 100. Right now, i feel we are at steady seas till some big players move in or something dramatic happens.

Looking at the 6 month trend graph, it looks like the trend line of the peaks and trend line of the bottoms converge to approx 115ish. I can see us staying there for a bit.

Don't you have a yubikey?

Gox sent me a free yubikey, I thought that was policy for all accounts that trade more often than once or twice?
Is the yubikey sent on request or automatically? Currently using google authenticator.

scary dream

Random topic. So yesterday I sold at $110.50 with the guess that it may breach 100 momentarily.
Put up a buy order at $100.02 and set a price alert on my phone at $100. I remember waking up to the alarm early morning seeing that it hit $98, awesome. Then I went back to bed.

Drifting to sleep with bitcoins freshly on my mind, I started dreaming.

NOTE: THIS NEXT PART IS MY DREAM, NOT REAL!
-------------
I kept visiting the MTGox website and even though I was signing in correctly, It wasn't going through. I was confused and puzzled.
Eventually I was able to log in, and then my heart DROPED! My account had been EMPTIED OUT! Some hackers compromised the MTGOX home page and somehow made it into a phishing website, compromising all accounts that tried to log in during that time, and wiping their accounts clean. Fucken scaaaary dream!
-------------
I woke up and thought... Ok, time to setup 2-way-authentication.

I've heard of malware now targeting client mtgox accounts, so no new surprise there.

But as the Dalai Lama has said.

Prepare for the worst, Hope for the best.

Any of these thoughts ever cross your minds?

Also, on a speculative note. Looking at the 6 month trend graph. It looks like we are converging to a value of approx $110?

I remember not too long ago when a single bitcoin was only about $3... Oh how I wish I would have bought in back then.

Do you believe history will repeat itself for Litecoins?

I am new here. I don't really see why bitcoin went up so much recently. I have been reading but I don't get it. I also noticed there is currently 11,000,000 or so outstanding bitcoins, and yet, very few are being sold, even though the price of bitcoins went up recently very drastically. This does not make sense to me, for so many people with 11,000,000 bitcoins, to just sit and watch after the price went up so much. What are they waiting for? It seems to me, that the runup in the price has already occurred. Why aren't they selling? It seems to be a strange marketplace, from my own experiences elsewhere. Normally, if the price goes up, they jump all over it and take all the profits as quick as they can. Where did all these big money investors come from, that are willing to pay $100 or $200 for one bitcoin?
As far as I can tell, the price in bitcoins has gone up on light volome, in comparison to the 11,000,000 bitcoins out there, and as such, normally there should be a large market correction, back down again. I am not meaning to be pessimistic. But what is propping up the price for so long?

Market manipulation?  Maybe electric companies saw a noticeable drop-off when gpu miners shut down when it was costing much more to mine than gpus could earn.  So they hire and fund a firm to get gpu miners back on the meter.

Accidental?  Someone's trading bot's algorithm is off by a decimal point causing chaos at the exchange.  It's happened more than once on wall street..

Supply < Demand?  People notice the market value trending higher so they place an order to sell at some ridiculously high asking price relative to the current market.  Then a large buy order engulfs all the sell orders and suddenly the market value soars to the formerly ridiculously high asking price.

Or one of many other reasons.


Off by one decimal point. Haha, me and my cousin used to joke about this in our programming classes. Oh no big deal, it was just off by a decimal point. HAHA.

I think it's easy to read when BTC prices go up too fast. It jumped to $160 fairly rapidly. My guess is, day traders made their profit for the day. Started selling, price starts to drop. People start posting CRASH. Fear starts to spread, more people sell. Prices drop more. More posts of CRASH CRASH CRASH. Prices drop from people selling. THen eventually the day traders and investors see, BUY OPPORTUNITY. BUY BUY BUY. prices go up. Beautiful correction. All is well for another day. I'm just ranting. Have a good day fellow BTC investors.

Its not 50 posts

Its 5 and 4 hours online.

Unless you know what the malware is I can't really help.

AVG free is perfectly good.
But the best protection is common sense. Dont open an email or follow a dodgy link and you will be fine. 99% of infections have to ask for your permission to install themselves.
The biggest security hole in any computer is the user!

Thanks for the heads up. Almost to 4 hours  Cheesy Been wanting to join the fellas on the speculation board.

People are realizing the potential of bitcoins as a leading world currency. So they are trying to acquire as much of it as possible before it becomes mainstream. Mainstream acceptance will throw it into the tens of thousands. just imagine, 6.9 billion people sharing less coins than the population of Madagascar. Doesn't take a genius to see the potential.
