Sorry to pass this on but the arrests we were discussing are on BBC world service now as the lead item, on 'Business news'
Hmmm... someone is press releasing this across the world 'on the eve of the senate hearings' as they said.
I think this is not an 'end of BTC story' but it is getting some mileage lots of SR / drugs / laundry mentions.
Not great - but I think the feds are distinguishing between 'good guys' and 'bad guys' - but a guy on now is saying 'always bad apples, but maybe this proves the need for regulation'
Anyway - I say BUY THE RUMOUR - this will blow over. My Gox Bux will now get used up. Hurrah!

I'm waiting for the bull to say "we're still in stealth phase".
I live in a town of 12,000 where only about a dozen people have heard of it and I'm the only one who owns any. Yeah, we're still in the stealth phase.
yep, I live in New Zealand, and it seems the same. none of my friends know about it, Im trying desperately to teach them. I think it will take another 2 years before the mainstream will all go out there, download a wallet, and buy $100 of bitcoin each. those will be happy days.

His name can't be mentioned than 3 times on one page or he'll return!

I think a lot of the bears are poor. They do not have a lot of money to purchase bitcoins, thus they are desperate to increase their stash from 2 to 5 or from 12 to 23 or maybe from 50 to 70.
The desperation is palpable in here.
And to a man, they all secretively want bitcoin to go to 5 or 6 figures, once they get the target # of bitcoins that they hope for. Lol.
I mean, they are trying SOOOO hard to root the price down. If you go back and read this thread in late April and May the desperation from bears was not so obvious. Probably because bitcoins were so much cheaper.
At any rate, I almost want the market to go down to $500 so they will shut the fuck up. But I guess today, no one gets exactly what they want.

I will wager 4 bitcoins to a bear out there that bitcoins will be worth more than $1 in a years time.
Hah! I bet you will have lots of takers

+1 haven't lost the sense of humour, then, Tera!
If I had a Bitcoin for every time that chart has popped up here.... (sigh)
We can't crash to 500 - think about it - it means rpietila will return!!!

You might not be aware of this, but at least 50% of the bulls in here exactly think this. Everybody at least thinks that we´re goin to 2-3000$ in 4-6 weeks.
Also 100000-1 Mio. in under a year seems to be a no brainer. New paradigm will be reached, according to BillieJeanAllen, when we hit 80000000$
Is a no-brainer to put bitcoin at 8M USD, when it's clear (using TA-ROT ASSTROLOGY) that will be valued at most at 5,613,059.37 USD

Where is that hot Asian girl from Bitcoin Foundation? She would calm things immediately
You mean this one?
That's what I mean. Bring her up on the air LIVE !!!
He he, rather lovely isn't she...
I was going to make a comment about everything rising in her presence, but I think it's a little cheap to do that sort of thing...

or even $7000 +
I would say $7000 is a little ambitious in the next 6 months at least unless there are major events which are going to give Bitcoin positive effects then it would be very difficult to reach that amount in such a small amount of time.
I agree, ambitious for sure...but....
if you take a look at the longterm chart, and see what Bitcoin has done to date. It has gone from from one all time high to another every 7ish months or so...there is a peak at new ATH, followed by a dip/crash and then 7ish months later it hits a new ATH, which is many times the previous ATH, followed by another dip... of course past behaviour is not the best indicator for future behaviour, but it is an indicator all the same. If the network effect keeps up and the adoption rate keeps growing exponentially as they have done up until this point, then $7000 is in June-ish would make a lot of sense, from a historical point of view, it would not look out of place in any way on the all time chart if the trend from 09 continues forward.
If things like todays news do not derail the adoption, and investment/adoption from the fund managers and "wall street" et al then I can see history repeating itself another cycle, every year since 2009 it has surprised people... volatile for sure but still hitting those exponentially higher ATH's almost like clockwork every sevenish months later than the last one...we had our last ATH Dec 13, so guess we will have to wait and see... I cannot see Bitcoin being at saturation at this point, nowhere near.
That's a observation I haven't seen before about the 7 month prediction I think that's pretty plausible and could be done but I think any media attention is going to bring in people and they are going to research more and see why Bitcoin is so popular Bitcoin wasn't even very well known a few months ago but now there seems to be a whole lot bigger in every single country.
I think in the next 12 months we will see it exceed $2000.
Its´goin to 80000000$ by the way after we´re back above the normal 1000$ It´s a sure bet. Just buy and hodl u can´t lose in this game. Every price is a good price, id doesn´t matter if you pay 800$ or 200$. Just buy and hodl. Sure thing.

Yeah those graphs are not new to me.... however in my opinion Bitcoin is in its infancy and we have not yet even hit the knee of the curve to even begin the climb up the real "wall" - i.e the steep incline of an adoption growth rate s curve, we are just nearing launch in my opinion, so I cannot see how the price can be in a bubble at this point... I do not think we have seen anything yet.
Just my point of view.
