Topic: Price Chart: April 9th = $200, April 15th = $300 (Read 10106 times)

$5 by the end of next weekend. Watch it happen boys!

Scuba diving? That's what everyone does. Me? Space tourism. 

They've already been scubadiving a thousand times. How many times did they predicted price of something and then manipulated it into that price? ;-) I think that would be fun. Even more fun than scubadiving!

I was kidding, of course.

If I had a ton of money like the winkleface twins, I'd make crazy predictions here on this forum. The I would manipulate the market by buying and selling millions in bitcoins to get it to exactly match my prediction. Then I would post on here and everyone would see how smart I was with my prediction.

Five more hours if you go by UTC.  Just like every down day we should see a slight rise maybe over $95.

April 15th is not over yet, I'm not giving up hope.

Padawan was right once just like a coin is right 50% of the time if you continue to call the same side.    I think a lot of Padawan's may now be looking up the terms bubble and crash so, they can make more money next round.

I was hearing complaints on lag and DDOS as the bubble was inflating with USD.  Some folks seem to have very selective short term memories.

How would a nefarious DDoS attack squad profit from completely destroying Bitcoin? Seriously? And at this point how would a DDoS even be successful in dropping the price now that everyone has been fooled into believing this DDoS nonsense? It's an excuse that, if believed, would boost the price because everyone would stop selling whenever we have a lag.

If anything, the lag prevents a sell-off. Is Bitcoin really so fragile that a temporary lag annihilates the currency? If so, that is even scarier than the supposed DDoS attacks.

Everyone acts as if Bitcoin's success is a foregone conclusion, so a shadowy group would aim to DDoS attack (assuming that creates a panic....doubtful) so they could pick up cheap coins because they will definitely be worth much more in the future.

No, that is not a business model. There is no guarantee that they will ever be worth more in the future.

The only entity that stands to benefit from lags are Mt Gox, IMO. The lag stems the sell-off, as I've posted ad nauseum. Having you believe this nonsense supports the price of bitcoins. The sell-off always starts prior to the lag. The system becomes unresponsive at key support levels and almost never breaks these levels (only during the crash). Tiny bot buys support the price fiercely and the price turns around.

Statements from Mt Gox would lead you to believe that the only time the price ever goes down is during is DDoS because Bitcoin simply doesn't go down.

Parrot parroting parrots

And they blame the sell-off on the lag. It's a convenient excuse.

The DDoS lag excuse is mythology. Gox only lags out when the price goes down.

Still high trading volume, but no lag. The big difference between now and a week ago is the price is going down. I guess the DDOS attackers don't care if that happens.

No worries. Perhaps you are now familiar with this term.

I don't blame MtGox for the crash but they triggered it.

The bubble was bound to burst, but I think we had a little more time, days or even weeks but it would. If it wasn't for the lag from the exchange that triggered panic selling we would have seen $300 by the 15th, probably sooner. The lag popped the bubble a little pre-maturely though and we never made it to $300.

We will get there again though, it will just take a little to recover.

You failed.

Way to take things out of context... the rest of my story was that I was onsite at a customer's location and could not sit there and monitor my BTC. Therefore I had to get out and I had 5 minutes of using a stranger's laptop to make that choice. It was a good choice. Especially, at this moment when the price is down to $115 again.

There is nothing wrong with making a Market Sell. There was no 'Panic' in the sell, there was a decision made that... yup, it's gonna go lower. I can't sit here and adjust sell orders or wait for bounces. I need to get out and get back to work.

Also, the rest of my story shows how I got about 90% of my losses back after I got off work trading the bounces... and now with the prices where they are at.... I am at a loss again and it wasn't a 'Panic Sell'.

Wow some people want to call everyone a Panic Seller just because they feel the price is going to go down and want out.

Panic sellers, you have seen the enemy, and he is you.

Point at this guy. POINT AT THIS GUY AND LAUGH.

If I had been in cell service and not staking mining claims in a remote ass wildneress I would have done the same thing. At the end of the day we are only human. Have faith but do the math. Bitcoin has now way mathematicaly but to be zero or worth a fortune! Coins are still cheap!

I was one of the weak ones... for good reason. Today was the first day since April 1st I was going to be onsite at a customer's place working with no internet connection and no fooling around watching charts during the day. LOL

I say it plumeting and happened to grab ahold of someone's laptop in the lobby for 5 minutes to place a Market order at around $190.

later in the afternoon I see that GOX took me out at $106.... REALLY?!  The low was like $105 for the entire day. So I guess all the people and 4-6 hours... my market order was like near last to get filled... WHAT LAG! 

Yes, it scared off the weak ass weak hands who were in the market and lost their coins, and it probably also scared away some of the week hands that weren't in the market, haha.
