Less than a month after it first began accepting bitcoin, Dell has received a 85 BTC (over $50,000) order for a PowerEdge server order.

That doesn't sound like it's a lot of money for Dell. I think it's a great thing that order has been made using Bitcoin, but it isn't an order out of the ordinary for Dell, I guess, right?

Honest 80s business!
Surprised by how well the Metcalfe's law price assumption works, for example when comparing the previous "plateau" phase (~100 USD) and the current one.

Looking at number of transactions (excluding 100 popular addresses), comparing the August 2013 average (25k) to the August 2013 average (60k), we get: ((60/25)^2)*100 = 576 USD.

Close enough, no?

Wow, really? So we'd need an increase in transactions now, right? (Aren't we already seeing one for a few weeks???) But what about the prediction that according to the transactions we should be at $2k already? I guess I've seen that around here somewhere...

Fresh money is needed but there hasn't been enough than fresh coin supply. How do I get that conclusion? Not really I am in a position to occlude anything but that is my agreement with one of the sayings.

How TA would tell where we probably go and for how long?

I send regular messages to companies that I use, that I would like to add Bitcoin (did so with Dell, Expedia, along with quite a few other people it seems...) asking them when (not if) they will start to accept BTC as a payment method..  I also have sent messages to countless other companies, inc BMW, Virgin Atlantic,Tesco online, Easy jet, E-bay, and on and on... but also Amazon.... sent them several messages from 3 different accounts... and not ever had a reply from Amazon until today....- a fob off really, nothing to write home about I know... but... maybe a few more people should give them a nudge..

Many people will shun you, but I think it is a good thing to do and if really a lot of people are doing this, we might very well get those companies to accept bitcoin at some point! Amazon would, undoubtedly be the biggest player we could get into accepting it. It's the online department store! Man, this would kickstart this rocket to Pluto!

Bitstamp H/L range for today is $3.88.

Personally, I thought the Visa comment and the Global Payments announcement were huge news.  No one seems to have cared; a few months ago, it would have caused a huge rally.

The volume is pathetic. The price is flat. Whoever is the manipulator has done a really good job. We need to give credit where it is due.  Cheesy

Customer feedback like yours is very important in helping us continue to improve the selection and service we provide.

We look forward to seeing you again soon.

Best regards,

SO

It is only a tiny action, but maybe if thousands and thousands of people ask... then..... they will add BTC all the sooner .... and yes I realise they have their own in house system and I realise they may not be properly incentivised as of yet... however... if you have not done so already...do it anyway...get in touch... e-mail them, call them, tweet them.

I personally buy a lot of stuff from Amazon... and would love to see them accept BTC.


e-mail them, call them, tweet them, write them.

Get on it!

: )


and yes it is but a drop in the ocean.... but still does not mean that we could make a wave...

Is it time for today's pump and dump? Looks like it.
Make sure to buy at 595 and dump at 588.

Maybe you should start daytrading those fluctuations in order profit form them if you are so sure that we'll be stuck in this channel forever Smiley

I was so bored last week that I did that (correctly, though).  Made $100 in 5 trades, over 5 days, bought a piece of a btc.  The exchange made more than I did.

Boredom makes me do stupid things.

I've got this feeling, I'm the only one who hasn't ignored you yet...

But why would anyone follow your flawed trading technique?

Everyone needs to get bearish so we can liftoff again.

So you think we need to shake out some longs first, or do you think we simply need to get the movement going again? I try to understand why people feel the need for another crash before a new rallye can emerge!

need real despair. i mean REAL. almost to the point where you will think the game is over and that bitcoin failed. Wink

Wow, yeah.. That would surely spark a decision I guess.. But I don't know if I could handle that, I'd be freaking out completely. But I want to stay in Bitcoin, I don't want to play it safe or try to daytrade the market (because I'd fail Wink) What can I do to ease my mind a bit? Cheesy

Despair only helps existing bears, useless.
We need new people to get in, that's all.

But that sounds like the logic on which a pyramid scheme is based on! Aren't we trying to shed that clichee off of Bitcoin? Although I guess it is kind of true, because more people have to come in (or funds, to be precise) than there are new BTC mined every day!

Pyramid scheme's need new people to stay afloat. Bitcoin only needs it for a price rise to occur.
