Looking promising - just a little lower, c'mon trolls and FUD spreaders!!!

Cheesy

EDIT: $651 on MT Gox - I hadn't realised! Are we gonna count Gox?

EDIT (Again): Oh wow bitstamp, too - how did I miss that? lol I was only checking BTC-e, the only exchange where price actually held up somewhat haha.

I've been told I can't see the trees for the forest (opposite of saying); guess this is a prime example.

im crazy. but I'm not *that* crazy Wink

ok. Sorry to have bugged. Not trying to troll.

Best to lurk I suppose.

Edit: I don't understand (for sure); "not that crazy"

Is it because I think my bet would make it go opposite?

Did you think my bet was 0.1 btc of mine to 1btc of yours? I meant a 0.1 vs 0.1 bet if so.

its because the price already went below $666

not sure if it's okay to still bet with you; Or if a nobody can bet?

I would be willing to bet 0.10btc. I don't have many BTC, heck you guys probably have more bitcoins than what I have in mBTC; so I can only offer 0.10 if you want /like.

*main reason: market always goes opposite to what I act on; not how I think / feel. E.G. by me placing this; It should go up.

I'll take Stamp as the refrence site as BTC-e would make it more in my favor (lol).

I am bored of the current price action. I will therefore consider taking you up on the offer, just for shits. I actually expect to lose the bet, but I see a non-zero chance that there may be a sell off which takes us below $666, and gambling is fun. Would you consider going by BTC-e price to improve my odds slightly? Also would anyone else consider splitting the bet 50/50 with me? (1 BTC/$800 is a fair amount, especially when you're not expecting to win).

Edit (for clarity): I'm happy to go with the full 1 BTC but would prefer to split if there are any other takers

Why fella, me lad, i like the cut of your jib. 1BTC to the winner it is! Happy to consider both stamp and btce. (and even gox if you like just for the laugh!)

cards on the table, I agree there is certainly a chance of a crash, about as much as another runup imho. As you say though, whats unbearable is the boring sideways action. This is totally about tempting fate for me Cheesy

See you on the other side!

Okay, agreed. Seeing as there don't seem to be any takers to split the bet with me, I'm in for 1 BTC. If there's a crash, I get the consolation of winning 1 BTC (as well as the opportunity to load up on coins). If however, there's a rally (more likely IMO) then I could find myself out of pocket for rather more than $800 Cry

-Very worst case scenario: price remains stagnant, I lose the 1 BTC and we're back to square one with lack of any excitement, at which point I suggest we get the entire speculation forum to watch Wolf of Wallstreet at the same time and try to emulate everything that they do at Stratton Oakmont (i.e. hookers and blow all round while we make stupid bets with one another about price action, and scream obscenities at our computer screens.) Do you want to use escrow or are you happy with a gentleman's agreement?
