The volume, or lack thereof, on Bitstamp is frightening.
Made a few successful trades. Why is it when I trade a couple of BTC, the trades end up in +, and when I put more than 10, the trades go negative or, at best in 0?
Anyway, the suspense is killing me...

It's same everywhere, volume is non-existing...

Yeah; Cyprus #2 for all EU. Enjoy bank bailout now! (at your expenses)  Shocked

Slovenia won't need bailout. Slovenia will need 4.778 billion euros ($6.58 billion) to recapitalise its troubled banks.

They will not take our money directly from bank accounts. They will just take it from tax collected.
What a relief.  Smiley

Oh wait, but that is almost the same. They will take my money to pay for their mistakes.  Huh

Cyprus bail-in will be the template for bank recapitalization in EU, unless they got your private key that is Wink.

There's also physical age vs. mental age. Not pointing fingers at anyone, just that sometimes a 25 year old can be more mature than a 45 year old. Just look at any reality tv show with middle aged individuals to know exactly what I mean.

Curious - how can you surmise age from writing style? I've never heard that before (except perhaps for people so young they haven't finished school yet).

Would you care to take a shot at mine?

Theres definitely nothing scientific about it, it's just sort of subconscious and clearly not accurate, I guess when you have been using forums for 17 years you tend to characterize people by the style they write, based on how laid back they sound, or if their writing insinuates their energetic in getting their point across, if they sound ranty, or if they come across with good general knowledge in their post's. I dunno about yourself, I'd probably peg you at mid 30's +, you sound pretty mature.

And if you don't know that the 2011 bubble went below its previous starting point

The 2011 bubble's starting point was $0.06.
The bottom after the crash was $1.99



What is especially interesting is that if you draw a least-squares fit trendline in the logarithmic price chart here, you get the same (+/- 10%) slope as with the whole of Bitcoin's price appreciation over the 5 years of its existence. Also if you take only 2013 as your data, again, same thing.

Now be my guest and rush to buy bitcoins and not understand that this information is only available because I spent days modelling it.  Wink



Out of curiosity when you superimposed this rally on top of those two things what does it tell you the new bottom is, when it will be met and at rate the rally will begin?

Seriously? I'm 40. And I am willing to bet, if we compared "Wealth" outside of bitcoin - which you had a considerable head start in, I would own you.  So let's not even go there.

And if you don't know that the 2011 bubble went below its previous starting point and didnt fully recover for 1 1/2 years while the 2013 bubble never dipped below its starting point while recovering several times faster, then I don't know what to say to you except that sometimes, not always, but sometimes you come across as an arrogant prick.

Wow, now I have a 40-yr-old rich name-calling guy on ignore.

Lol.

I seriously can't believe people are still trading on MtGox.
I use mtgox because I don't trust any other entity with much of my funds. We've seen many exchanges come and go (bitcoin24,bitcoin7,tradehill,bitparking etc) but mtgox has been here all the time.

Mtgox also has the highest price (and much volume/depth) and I am able to withdraw euro (or simply wait for price to equal any other exchange which happens occasionally). If I'm going to sell, it makes sense to sell for the highest price I can get.

In conclusion I like gox, and I feel that my funds are safe with them.

Goxxing doesn't bother me so much, yes it can be annoying, but trust is more important for me (but i don't trade a lot anyways). I think btc-e is great, low fees, many trading opportunities, but I don't trust them as much (or more precise I'm fearing that they will eventually be targeted by law enforcement).

How can you trust gox? How many times they have promised to do something and then just not done it? Only thing they have done is to be there, but that's only because people are willing to pay that outrageous fee and doesn't mind that they are ass raped in every major movement, Mark is doing a lot of money.

0.60% fee should be enough for everyone to fuck them off. It's scandalous fee.
I'd say 100% fee is much worse.  Wink (i wish mtgox would change their fee schedule to account for usd instead of btc though, but I have less than 0.5% fee at least)

You would have 0.2 on stamp and isn't stamp worth more trust?
I don't trust bitstamp more, I know they are located in the UK, but I don't know much about the owners. Did they apply for the appropriate licenses ? the reason gox is having withdraw delays (from what I understand) is that they are trying to get licensed, if bitstamp doesn't go that route it does come with a decent amount of legal risk. The price on bitstamp is very low compared to gox, but every now and then the price evens out, why sell at bitstamp when you can sell for $100 or even $200 more on gox? $100 extra makes the 0.6% fee looks like silly money.

Then there was a very critical security issue discovered in bitstamps trading engine , did that get fixed yet?

Another reason that doesn't really apply to their trustworthiness is that I can't use their 2 factor authentication atm, while with gox I have a yubikey. Not having 2 factor makes me feel more uneasy about keeping large sums on any exchange.



If I'm not mistaken, they are located in Slovenia, not the UK.

Bitstamp Offices are located in Slovenia, in fact their offices are 10 min away from where I live, and the company was registered in Slovenia but they changed to UK this year, I think because ow the lower Taxes and better regulations there. and yes they are licence money exchange... and what critical issue you are talking about? I've never heard of any !!!

I do trust Bitstamp more than gox, I never had any issue with them, and your statement about the owners is not valid, Nejc CEO of bitstamp is a member of the forum since 2011, hazek is moderator on this forum and damjan is also known here around.

The owner is this dude, apparently: http://www.linkedin.com/pub/nejc-kodri%C4%8D/47/227/299

He was speaking at a conference in Berlin not too long ago. I think they're trustworthy.
