Woah... Since when are you a hero member, Eurotrash?

no idea. I didn't post anything heroic recently. Mostly one-liners. If anyone, you 'd deserve that badge way more than I do.

That's the friendly way of you telling me 'you have no life, and spend entirely too much time on btctalk' :P

monkey remains happy so far intraday, but starts to get nervous about 6pm.
context recap: daily, sad; weekly, monthly, happy.

I'm sure the monkey would say it was a bear pennant if I took the Shock Doctor Gel Bite Guard out of his mouth long enough.

The US Government auctioned the coins now because it is not supposed to hold on to seized property. 
This is a factual error.  The USG often retains seized property and uses it as it sees fit.  It's one of the perks of being allowed to seize property.  If you like something, you take it.  If they can't afford a law suit to get it back, it's all candy.

I'm inclined to think if we crash hard next week there are forces at work that are undermining Bitcoin's Fungibility, and we can expect the euphemistic green listed (black listed) coin idea to emerge with some fervor.

How we the Bitcoin community including the likes of Lawsky, respond to a new falls flag event or an existing one (say Gox) will determine the outcome.

I'm going with a crash followed by some divine guidance from a monkey or random market response.
The future always hard to see it is.

Pretty ironic that the only coins we know for sure have been used for the purchase of drugs are the only coins that will definitely be 'green listed'.

Here we go again with bets.

Sure, they will pay a premium for those coins, but the real question now is how much will the price crash first.  Grin

It is magical thinking on our part to believe that anyone will pay above market prices for bitcoins, especially in this tepid market.

If you were ever going to pay above market for btc, now would be the time to do it.  Some time 5-10 days from now, BTC will put in its lowest daily bottom, and prices will always be higher thereafter.  (Says the monkey, but I will take responsibility this time, because I agree -- and yes, perhaps it is magical thinking.  He is, after all, a magic monkey.)


lol what is this magic monkey that I keep hearing of? I must have missed something many pages ago. Is this some rhesus monkey that you've imprisoned and hooked to electrodes to exploit his clairvoyant talents?

Dude. Lets bet. Any amount up to 100 BTC that they go above market price. Your logic is so irrational, I feel you should be punished for spreading stupidity on these boards. Money where mouth is please.

This auction has been pretty useful for me. It's highlighted the stupidly of people on this forum that (a) think they will go for significantly below market price and, (b) even worse, think they will be immediately dumped on the exchanges.

Self-Custody is a right. Say no to"Non-custodial"
Thanks for cutting my post into half, don't do that again. I guess you agree with point 2 and 3. [ ... ]
It is good etiquette to trim the posts you are replying to, leaving only the parts that are relevant to the reply.  However I should have added "[ ... ]" to show that parts were omitted; my apologies for being lazy.


Yes Jorge!, until you join the cult we hold you to a different standard,  Cheesy

Jorge became a cultist some time ago... I clearly remember that he wrote that he doubled (or tripled?) his BTC portfolio. Todays drop was clearly Jorge cashing out because he needed a little extra cash for the auction.  Smiley

Zero times zero two is still zero, as far as I know my math basics.

They are counting on being able to auction off the other 140,000+ BTC at some point in the future, so selling 30,000 now is probably prudent.

Actually I did not buy nor sell any coins today, but the USD value of my holdings doubled again, nevertheless.   Wink

Satoshi is rolling in his grave. #bitcoin

lets hope for the best, altho i doubt this will attract what we need.
there is no real good press lately regarding bitcoin, and this auction could be even more severe than we thought.

i believe the real action is going to take place this weekend, and judging by current cluctuations, it could even dip under 500$ range.
