happy to oblige. today I saw a vanity license plate that said TEAMBEAR
Sounds like tarmi. Was it a Yugo?
No it was a nice German car. It was in New York so maybe they work for Bear Sterns, oh wait.

I still think this rally is about market makers getting sure nobody else gets 44k cheap coins at the martial auction, that could threaten their positions.
I expect this to continue for at least 10 more days, with peak around 3-4th of November.

We don't know if the buyers are going to hold or dump. The only thing we do know is that the damn government gets the cash and I hope that amount is as low as possible.
the more they pay the coins on auction less likely is that they will dump them. draper paid what, 600 $ a piece? lel
We don't know for sure Draper didn't dump them or lend them out to short sellers, do we? What we can logically deduce is that buyers won't dump them for less than they pay unless the price goes down and stays down for a long time. The key is the RELATIVE differential between spot price and what they pay.

When are the next big BTC auctions? I can't wait for this crash 
Gonna be lovely. A beautiful disaster. We could see a floor sub $200 again.
Gonna be lovely. A beautiful disaster. We could see a floor sub $200 again. This is the last one for the US gov. The Australian gov has 20k something coins to sell though.
The big dagger hanging over our heads is really the 200k gox coins that need to be sold or returned to the victims. I'm sure a percentage of those people will be market selling and dusting their hands of the whole thing.

This is really overbought on all time frames...
Seems that way but it wasn't a quick shot up...it's been gradual over the past week so it has potential.
Even holding over $250 for so long is the death knell for the bear market.

That's actually something I never really thought before... it could very well be possible for someone who has a lot of cash laying around just absolutely hates the government in general are just pumping up the prices just to fuck with them in a way. Lol, I hope this is not the case and is a legitimate growth in bitcoin and not some ruse some troll is doing just for that one specific instance.
Fuck with the government, by helping them maximize their take? Think this through again.
No... what I'm saying is that someone is pumping the price up until the point of the auction and then plans on dumping after the auction takes place so they would lose a lot of money... I highly doubt that this scenario is happening, I'm just saying it would be funny if some millionaire out there is trying to do this.

That $22-23 million in longs weren't liquidated even in the $160 flash crash, I agree that I would feel better about this rally with shorts hitting new highs rather than floundering about like they are. (Sometimes I shudder to think what BFX actually did that day though, they might have had to flip the breaker before the whole thing unwound...
)Yeah, I got caught with my pants down like everybody else. If we had hit double digits I would have gotten a margin call too. I'm gonna try to leave leverage to people smarter or luckier than me from now on.
Wait... are you saying you've had a long position open for how long?
Of course not. The bounce after the last $316 top. Quintupled down after the bottom and closed with a profit at about $235. All this $2-300 range trading is just noise until we get this blocksize issue resolved.
Oh it all makes sense now...
closed my MARGIN long. I was still 100% long until the $260s...

Can we get a new price poll for a specific date please? The current poll doesn't really say anything, because nobody knew what the target date was.
The current poll is confusing because nobody expected the Chinese exchanges to be $10 higher than all the others for the last month. $300 got broken ages ago on the Chinese exchanges, and the others are still in the $290s. Should the next poll ask us to guess the averaged price across all exchanges, or the highest price on any, or another option?
Bitstamp is the default price talking point, unless specified otherwise.
