PLEASE, PRETTY PLEASE, short into this. 
Haha, nope.

Wow, the wall moved to 2.50.
the absolute amt of money across the entire bid mountain, not just the wall @$2.40, has grown enormously today in direct relation to the number of mtgoxlive users logged in this AM. the BUYERS are coming in and are ready to pounce and become early adopters.
the BIDWALL grows!
Let me tell you what I've learned from the past 4 months of watching market depth. When bids outnumber asks, then the price goes down. When bids vastly outnumber asks, then the price goes down a lot. When asks outnumber bids, then the price goes down. When asks vastly outnumber bids, then the price goes down a lot.
i like your jokes
/offtopic/however, proudhon is a poor philosopher (not the user, but his avatar). ever read about the dispute with marx? kind of funny how good old Karl bashes proudhon with ease and makes fun of him. //offtopic/
the BIDWALL continues to grow!
It's 25k BTC already!

Reminds me of the rather absurd 'mappers' vs. 'packers' thread. I don't even remember whether this make you a 'mapper' or 'packer'. The latter I think.
Your observation is amusing, though. Probably because it has that certain truth that makes things amusing to me.

lol at comparing bitcoin to folding. You guys are hopeless. Good luck with all that though.
And if you are really using "securing the network and supporting the project" as an excuse, well illogical is an understatement. If this were some small altcoin I could get that, but it isn't.
Yeah, I don't get why people join Folding@Home. They don't contribute much at all when you compare their contribution to the overall network FLOPS.
[/sarcasm]

But, if everyone had this mentality, no one would be mining! I think that is what separates the true supporters from someone trying to get rich at the expense of the rest.
You must have really cheap power to still be mining at these prices.
Why should the current price matter if he's holding? Why should the price matter to enthusiasts at all? My computers ran SETI@home for over a decade, and no-one paid me for that.It matters because if you are paying for your electricity bill, you are likely paying more to get btc than just buying them. That is illogical.
How much more will you pay for mining a bitcoin versus buying one?
I think it's conceivable that if the gap is not huge, some who already have mining rigs would rather pay a bit more by mining than dealing with getting funds into an exchange with the added benefit of securing the network and supporting the project. Me for instance, though my mining "operation" is minuscule so whether I buy coins or mine them I won't pay much and won't get many coins either way.
Lot of factors, the current price of btc, your hardware, whether you actually bought the hardware for mining (lots did), whether you have paid off your hardware investment (lots havent), your heating/cooling situation, your electric rates, whether you actually pay your electric rates or not, hardware depreciation, premature wear and tear on hardware, I'm sure some other things I am forgetting.

I think there should be some upward bias when the bitcoin generation halved from 50 to 25.

ASKWALL MELTS!!!
ASKWALL MELTS!!!
I love it, been saying in my recent posts that once this wall goes, it is all downhill.
Still too much optimism around here. Not nearly as much as a few months ago, but you speculators need to be shaken up a bit more until you learn your lesson. You still just don't get it that your dealing with an item similar to an antique. The only problem is, every single minute more and more of the item you own are getting thrown into the market.
This is not like stocks, which are a fixed amount and make you money through company profits. It is not like a commodity where people actually need to use the item. You are dealing with something that has no useful value other than speculators and miners trying to get money out of it.
You will all get burned, dropping from $30 to $2 was not enough to stop the optimism. Hopefully the next downturn will beat you guys up enough to stop with the crap about bitcoin rising again.

when it comes to "stocks" you never heard of capital-measurements, have you?
please consider taking some lessons in finance economy, or at least read some marx or hayek or keynes. your example with an antique is silly. can you eat dollars? NO. cna you eat euros? no! they are nothing good for, exept what the common people believe in them to be worth.
,..this currency-theories are not hard to understand at all - kind of funny how often people mix up things.
