I'm sure many on here can guess who those individuals are....

Standard Bank of South Africa is currently looking to integrate bitcoin into their banking network. Its the greatest news for the bitcoin community but i'm afraid someone have just blown that chance up. This wild swing market full of pigs will scare the executives away when they're evaluating bitcoin.

I was hoping our community would have seen a bigger picture and not be manipulated so easily.

I spent it all on pizza long ago:  https://blockchain.info/address/1XPTgDRhN8RFnzniWCddobD9iKZatrvH4

3-4 years ago there were less than 100 people frequenting this forum, and I was pretty happy to trade 10,000 coins for pizza.  I mean people can say I'm stupid, but it was a great deal at the time.  I don't think anyone could have known it would take off like this.

Yep, I am coming out of the closet, just bought 40 more from 528 - 540   I will just buy, buy and buy.  That does not include cash I have with them as well.  Hehehe.  These dooms day sayers kill me everytime.

How do you think I have 6000 coins.  I do not do this for fun my friend.  I understand risk and this will be another example of where that has come in valuable.

i pulled out a significant amount of btc after they denied my verification.

all of my docs were in order, and have been accepted everywhere else.

i knew it was because they wanted to delay having another person who wanted to cash out.


meanwhile - they still have my private information.

 

Watched this today.

Andreas is the most intelligent speaker on bitcoin potential and benefits ive so far heard. Pity we cant get him on any of the new york hearings.

The guys a god!!

Payment amount has been lowered decently due to extremely high demand, sorry for any inconvenience.

Hello All,

I'm sure a few others might be in the same situation, but I'm looking for some serious thoughts about my current position.

I live and work in China and bought Bitcoins through BTC China in October. On the way down I sold my coins.  I sent a few back to Coinbase on the last huge sell-off and arbed the market. In the process I cashed out my initial investment with a nice little profit.

I currently have a nice chunk of fiat sitting on the BTC China exchange and I believe there is no way the government will allow any further funding from banks or 3rd parties to the exchanges, so my question is this:

What do you guys think will happen with the BTC China exchange?

My speculation:

When current BTC China users realize the market is not coming back in China many more will withdraw CNY from the exchange, the price will collapse to new lows as users get out of BTC and back into CNY.  Bitcoin becomes extremely cheap compared to other exchanges.  At this point I buy all I can and transfer out.

Please give me your thoughts on this scenario.

Thanks

But in real life $10K would buy you a heck of a lot more than 10 GHS.

That's great news, I wonder why it's taking them so long to get it implemented?

I hear you! I sold just under 11,000LTC for under $2.00each in October 

Used to have 212.3 until someone stole my laptop  .

1 peta or more? If so wonder how many they're mining a day.

My name is surely not Marc.
Question is this... is this a new form of scam/virus related on bitcoin?
The link brings to a zipped file called walletBTC.zip
And why in the world I would send them to him? I'm like... keep them for myself, right?
Should I try to open it in a safe zone aka linux machine and be curious like a cat to know what the hell he sent to me or should I simply delete the email and let it go forever like it never happened?
 

I have a problem with bter losing my deposits. So far 5 out of 15 have not been credited to my account, although they appear on the network with multiple confirmations.

I thought that this was an issue specific to my account or perhaps the coin, but it seems someone else is having the same problem:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=367372.0

I'm posting here as it will probably be more visible, and I'm not accusing them of scamming, so... is anyone else experiencing this issue too?

I've had to resort to splitting my deposits to minimise loss, because I know that sooner or later one is going to go missing. Sure enough, for the amount I split into two deposits about an hour ago, only one deposit was credited; the other showed briefly as "Processing" then just dropped off as if it had never been seen.

Support has not replied to my multiple emails about this. I'm assuming they've been deluged with requests from n00bs like every other exchange recently. I would, however, like this problem fixed.

Good news!

Who do we see next I wonder, any ideas? and who would be the best of all of the potential companies/industries to get on board?

Hi there,

I accidentally stumbled upon this site: http://bitcoin-valuation.org/fair-value-bitcoin-28823/

That guy thinks Bitcoin will rise to over $ 3 million some day, and that today's fair value is over $ 38,000. 

Any ideas from anyone here in this forum in what respect he is right and in what respect he is wrong?

BUT: If he is right, please don't tell anyone except me!!! 

Thanks, bigbits.

Hi! I have opportunity to buy Bitcoin miner Butterfly Labs SC 60GH for about 2000$, do you guys think this is good investment right now?
It's better to mine before march 2014 or wait til new stuff will be available to buy? OR just buy BTC? I am little fresh for this topic but digging knowledge right now?
What is your opinion?
