This is interesting. Didn't the central bank of Cyprus just issue an advisory about bitcoin?

Not interested in shares but have cancelled my sell side limit orders and flipping into hold mode (keeping buy side orders). I'll wait and see what happens Monday with this Neo experiment.  If this goes well could be quite bullish.  Thank you for posting details.  

They are opening after 2 days (on 24th of February). Today is the last day you can buy shares on IPO price directly from Neo&Bee (https://www.lmb-holdings.com/) or around the IPO price from the Havelock exchange (https://www.havelockinvestments.com/fund.php?symbol=NEOBEE). More photos of their first branch:

Cmon Mark, pump these Goxcoins

Au contraire dear fonz ... GS are notorious for recommending/downgrading assets against the best interests of their clients, for the very purposes of front-running them. Typically on the juiciest of plays.

The very fact GS are covering bitcoin in a report is the news. Their statement that it is "too volatile for serious investors" ... means stay away until we establish our positions first. Volatility is life blood for these guys.

What if this final capitulation that so many are waiting for just doesn't happen? It's no secret that the capitulators after every other crash lost out. People can read graphs. How long are the vultures gonna wait for these elusive cheap coins?

You do not need a screenshot. If it is on the blockchain or the pending queue the transaction is visible.
Post the transaction hash. The way I see it is that you took your time (>15 minutes) to actually make the transaction after issuing the order.
Once the transaction shows up in the global transaction queue the other party knows you posted it.

[edit] in fact I wouldn't be surprised if a pizza were to arrive at your door shortly. That is if you are not lying, which is highly unlikely given your track record

@fonzie

The real question is, why are you holding and spending bitcoins at all?
I think it is because secretly you just have to have some of those lovely little digital numbers, and you don't really believe there value is going to zero.
Come on now, share it with us, secretly you are infatuated with Bitcoin aren't you? You know what people say about those the protest too loudly.

To those who are puzzled by the difference in prices between MtGOX and other exchanges:

The BTC prices at all functioning BTC exchanges and in all national currencies are pretty much the same, even between China and the rest of the world, presumably because of arbitrage (professional traders buying BTC at one exchange and selling it at another, whenever the prices get out of sync).

As long as MtGOX does not allow withdrawals, arbitrage between them and the rest of the world is not possible.  The "BTC price" there is the ratio between "goxBTC" and "goxUSD", two virtual currencies that are basically numbers in MtGOX's internal ledgers.  By trading among themselves, MtGOX clients decided that 1 goxBTC is worth ~100 goxUSD; that is, being owed 1 BTC by Mark is about as good as being owed 100 USD by him.  It is not known whether this conclusion is based on some inside information, or is just a blind collective guess.  

It is also not known at this time what is the value of 1 goxBTC in real BTC (or 1 goxUSD in real USD).  That will be known only if and when MtGOX resumes withdrawals, if and when some market starts actively trading one for the other,  or if and when the company goes bankrupt and gets liquidated (i.e. whatever assets it still has are forcibly sold and the money is distributed among clients and other creditors).

EDIT: grammar, wording, quotes "BTC price"

nice goxcoin pump. goxcoin to the moon. wow.

Of course, everything said without a screenshot is always lying...........
It actually appeared in the blockchain but it took 25 minutes, (minerfees were included), but the bitpay process expired after 15 minutes.
I contacted the pizza service, maybe i get refunded, whatever.

You are flat out lying unless you can show us the transaction being "stuck" in the pending queue (you did add the miner's fee right?)

[edit] transactions can take longer but if it is in the queue and valid it will eventually go through. I've had low miner's fee transactions sit in there for 10+ hours just to test if they also go through

and my dad nearly broke his iPad trying to add certain items to the online order but couldn't due to a glitch in the mobile ordering site, there are always hiccups in technology, but when it gets to adoption I am sure it'll be smooth sailing.

I have a lots of money on the exchanges(leveraging(shorting) with USD) , so i thought i could take the risk and exchange 20$ into Bitcoin without having to fear that Bitcoin would fall to 0 in the next 10 minutes.
Lesson learned. I even sent the BTC to my blockchain account first as i am aware of the fact that payments through exchanges can be delayed. I´m sad for Bitcoin.
And once again it has proven that BTC future doesn´t look bright

In 1994 Brazil changed currency for the umpteenth time to the current BRL (Real). At first the exchange was fixed 1 BRL = 1 USD.  People were not aware then, but to maintain this rate the government had to borrow wildy from the IMF and banks, sometimes at 40%/year interest. (Today ~60% of the tax revenue goes to pay interest on that debt, and yet the debt keeps growing.) The apparent stability was highly praised and the president got re-elected because of it. 

Shortly after the election, the BRL suddenly devalued to 0.50 USD.  People who had savings in BRL were badly hurt of course. Larger investors, with their money in stocks or real estate, were not, of course.  I had debts in BRL at the time, so I was actually happy.

In 1990, when I was still out of the country, the government had tried to control inflation by freezing all bank accounts above some ridiculous amount, a few thousand dollars.  I know people who had just sold their home and were about to pay for a new one.  Inflation dropped alright (to ~10%/year), but the economy of course collapsed.  The frozen money was released only after a year or two, with ~6% adjustment, when the inflation was again climbing towards the usual levels of 40%/year.

I am sorry, what was your question, again?   

I used blockchain...

Whatever. I gave it a try for the first and last time. Thanks BTC . Such trust . Wow

How can you order a Pizza with bitcoins if you have zero bitcoins? You always amaze me!

next time use your own wallet to send coins. not exchanges.

Bitcoin is really a mindblowing system. I tried to order a pizza with bitpay, after 15 min the payment still hasn´t arrived and i got the message "invoice expired".
So my money is gone and i got no pizza. Outstanding.
