Perhaps not enough material yet

Personally, I think there's too much material. Not too mention, too many characters. How would you pack the following into a film that could be viewed in one sitting?

Satoshi's white paper
Mining the Genesis Block
Development team forms
Bitcoin forum is created (first incarnation)
10,000 BTC exchanged for pizza
Satoshi disappears
Numerous altcoins
Dollar parity
First Slashdot article
First Bubble
MyBitcoin.com fiasco
First major price drop
Mt. Gox incident and subsequent rollback of trades
Second price drop (bubble officially burst)
Gavin's CIA visit
Silk Road (and their continued existence)
etc. (it's been a really long day and I'm much too tired to go on)

With that much material, we can plan for a docudrama about bitcoin and make it trade exclusively with bitcoin.

Is anyone going insane due to this wild roller coaster ride? I just cannot take my off of the chart.

I can honestly say I've been driven to the edge as I'm now checking on my trades constantly 24/7 at 2 exchanges.What drove me nuts was the fact that I tried to sell ~9.47BTC (when BTC was £10.20 each) at intersango yesterday,it never got carried out so I lost out big even though others were successful when they old BTC each at around $15.Thanks a lot intersango Sad

I thought BTC trades were more responsive to market conditions like NYSE and other stock exchanges.Any of you guys know of a good exchange that does BTC to GBP? As I'm fed up with Intersango.

Just Intersango or Mt.gox I think, and there's not much between them, they are both ok IMO, on the odd occasion I've had issues they've been sorted *reasonably* promptly. I don't use Intersango these days much because I use cash mainly and I can't get it into their exchange since they switched to MetroBank.

Is Mt Gox a good exchange?If so I'll move to them.Are trades quicker on Mt Gox than Intersango? As I can't afford to wait a lifetime to profit.

Never a dull moment in Bitcoin land.

Gotta love the 24/7 rollercoaster. All successful products benefit from having an exciting story behind them, if only to generate ongoing publicity and easy translation to media narrative. Satoshi is far more interesting than Bill Gates/Steve Jobs/Mark Zuckerberg, and the story of Bitcoin is already packed with colorful anecdotes and characters to rival any tale from the technology industry. Perhaps not enough material yet for a movie but, at a minimum, I'm pretty sure eventually a book will be written and a documentary will be filmed covering the events we are currently witnessing.

Next week will be even more fun. Either Pirate can meet his obligations and 100's of 1000's of btc's will find their way back to investors, many of whom may be looking to cash out. Or it turns out to have been a ponzi and people have 100's of 1000 of btc less than they thought. Either way, its gonna shake the market.

Place your bets now

.

It' going to affect the other HYIPs too, so there'll be a domino effect.

It's been a turbulent couple of weeks between one thing and another.

I think one day we'll laugh about even bothering to convert bitcoin to another currency.

This doesn't excite me too much anymore. I'm a veteran. I went through all this last year. Had sleepless nights for weeks when the price crawled up from $5 to $10, $15..... When my money finally arrived at MtGox I bought at $30.

Muahahahaha! Suckers! You don't know the pain! You just don't know the pain!!

Ouch! Try to eats some spinach, me thinks the price will go up to $40 ug ug ug Olive

You must have gotten into bitcoins just before I did. By the time my money cleared to an exchange, the price had dropped below 15 USD/BTC. Looks like it has just about recovered
