Bitfinex has peaked at around $2033.7 as of right now. Bitstamp still stuck at $1974. Any clue on why the hell is this happening?
I heard Tony Vays said that Bitstamp is too low and not accurate.
Did Bitfinex fix his shit yet with the USDT problem? Maybe a good common wrong is an average of both of prices.
Anyway, the $2000 barrier was broken, that's huge news. I couldn't care less if it crashes, we proved everyone wrong by destroying the 2013 peak.

never been so happy to have been so wrong, even if it was my arse I extracted that gem from

(please excuse my conceited self quoting)I think my prediction for this year's peak was $263, when the price was $250 or so. It's always classier to understate things, but perhaps not quite by that extent.

Psychological resistances... those never hold. I'm guessing the next one isn't until $2500. That's another nice round number that just happens to be about 2x the 2013 peak.

Bearstamp is still fighting with its walls.

what's the sentiment here about the price action coming up to and after Aug 1st when UASF kicks in?
If UASF becomes a sucess, i.e. Segwit + LN become operable on Bitcoin, I'd expect the price to be anywhere between $5000 - $10 000 shortly after. The effect of Segwit & LN on Litecoin (which did not require it as far as throughput is concerned; but it does fix a lot of things) is undeniable.I see some desperate bears. The spread between Bitstamp and Finex has increased again.

LTC could continue stagnating into nowhere land for all we know. I hope that is not the case, but looks like people couldn't care less about high fees and slow transactions. BTC is going to hit $2000 any minute now. It's time for you and the rest of people that sold ages ago to admit you fucked up.
Eh. People did the best they could with the information they had. I've run a rule saying I would not buy bitcoin, only earn it. It's served me well with limited downside and no screwed up nights wondering if it would implode. As for cashing out, I have some gold I got at $600 a coin, worse things have happened.However I am working a bit harder lately and it's starting to chew into surplus free time. So there is that to think about.

there is nothing worse than the bellowing of sold-out-early bulls, they make me sick (worse than bears I think) ... roach is our best example around here, still fapping hisself about selling out and going full fiat at $600 roach?
Nobody sold out at $600. I've been buying metals from $800 - $1600 and just made 600% on litecoin too. Anything I missed in bitcoin I already made up in alts. There's really zero reason to hold BTC over LTC right now either. Whoever buys this LTC double bottom will make far more money than anyone in Bitcoin.

Every stock is measured against the US dollar, does that mean that you think Bitcoin can never do well? May 20, 2017, 09:06:02 AM

Every coin out there is measured against BTC, people are naturally talking about "sats", and BTC could profit from other scaling solutions that don't even need segwit such as atomic cross chain transactions with LTC or RSK, not to mention it continues being the conservative crypto investment because it's the most trusted one and everyone just copy-pastes code from Bitcoin Core. Of course there are reasons to hold BTC.

The fun only starts if doubling in one week.
The bubble would pop shortly after that, the growth we are seeing right now is somewhat healthy but we all know once this bubble pops we're back to the stone ages. Just keep that in the back of your mind. I too welcome the rise but too fast and it's all over.If you use a bigger bubble to measure a bubble then this bubble isn't a bubble!
It is very funny when someone uses the dollar or the euro to measure a bubble.

Strangely enough, as high as bitcoin goes I still look for a reasonable car under $5k that will last a few years with low maintenance.
Though I spent more than that in the last week on a vacation.
It's funny how decision making with money works sometimes. I also noticed that I am inconsistent: penny-wise and pound-foolish.
I try to be as tight fisted as possible on real world things, and throw everything I can at Bitcoin. This cartoon sums it up.

Who has the balls here to bet on a $2000 double top and defend this position in this forum? 
(Edit: Finex prices.)
(That doesn't mean $2000 cannot be passed in the future with better fundamental news. But perhaps it's too early and a sell-in-May scenario is more realistic.)

Even the way you describe this, you seem to recognize that the odds are against such a scenario that you describe, and even you seem to be too chicken shit to argue it, and therefore, you are asking for someone else to argue it... hahahahahahaha

same. all my friends for the last 5 years have believe that they had "missed the boat."
what a shame.
edit: whoa
go bullstamp
what a shame.
edit: whoa
go bullstampSame here too. I'm still telling them it's still cheap. They want to kill me hahahahahah.
i have no sympathy for any of them. they had their chance. they'll have other chances in the future when it's crazy high but the last 2/3 years were the second golden age of accumulation.
This is the leading the horse to water but maybe not able to get the horse to drink part.
If we have been in bitcoin long enough and have been somewhat sharing of the information, we are going to have several examples of these kinds of folks who seem to consider and even kind of understand the concept but a bit chicken shit to pull the trigger.
There can be a painless way of getting in that involves dollar cost averaging - but so many folks dont even want to attempt that - so they are not sufficiently convinced nor sufficiently bullish about the bitcoin concept...
