You're never too old to think young.
I don't understand why you read a trollish thread like this since your plan is simple - buy on dips and keep holding.

Entertainment.

Is it diesel or lpg for you?


Bwaahaha..   Cheesy

Nah.. seriously.. i was glad to have work to do today, because it was pretty boring in truth.

It's not funny man!!! It's a critical choice for us in Greece! Our all-knowing government (and the EU along with it) are at the brink of completely banning commuting!!!  Roll Eyes Shocked

How, huh? What?

I like to think I'm usually informed about European politics (EU uber alles! jk.), but what is this about? How can anyone "ban" commuting? Or are they cutting commuting subsidies?

Care to explain? (I have friends in Greece I could ask, but I'm too lazy to write Cheesy)

It's 1.63 per liter of gasoline here, or $8.44 per gallon of it! Do you need more explanation?

how come that i was selling coins on mtgox for 964.50 and price went to 964.65 without getting my coins sold?

limited amount of coins being sold and someone else having an order ahead of you would be my best guess.

so that's possible on gox even if my coins are cheaper than the others?

I always use the chart from BTCchina. I found it more reliable.

Ok, here is the chart from China.
I can't decide which variant of the neckline is correct there.



I use the one around 6100 yuans ($1000). If it is crossed on the upside with volume, i will start thinking to buy back.

blows my mind doubling your coins near 575-620 wasn't enough for you best of luck...

things you own end up owning you
guys I don't know if it was mentioned here, but the CEO of Paypal just endorsed Bitcoin and said he also owns some http://news.cnet.com/8301-1023_3-57615080-93/paypal-president-david-marcus-bitcoin-is-good-nfc-is-bad/

I'm thinking of changing my sleeping hours. Nothing ever happens when I'm awake. Might go for a nap now.

You are not alone with that sentiment. Daytime in Europe is boring. Smiley

Absolutely, paypal will essentially become the internet's escrow agent (but they won't call it that because that word is scary to most).  CC's protect the consumer at the merchant's expense, BTC protects the merchant at the consumer's expense.  In both cases escrow and some kind of trust or rating system is needed.




*head explodes*

Fuck, I'm not even kidding, I never thought of this possibility.

Like most here, I gently smile when I read one of those many mainstream articles claiming "Bitcoin could take off, but they really need to implement reversible transactions". It's a feature, bitch, not a bug.

But I *am* aware that reversible transactions are not per se bad. In fact, in many cases you might want something like that. Enter Paypal.

I have no idea if they're smart and nimble enough to see this huge opportunity, but if I were them, I'd at least have a small internal team dedicated to the possibility of setting something up like this, exploring the legal framework necessary to pull it off, etc.

Great insight, thezerg!

In May, I speculated that if PayPal didn't provide this service, someone else would.  Seven months later, this doesn't look like a niche a small group of motivated Bitcoiners could move into. But PayPal still could.  They remain the most natural fit.  Now that Bitcoin seems to have graduated to the big-enough tier of adoption, I would expect this niche to be filled within the next few months.

It definitely remains a land-grab.  (And for what it's worth, I see adding a functional use-of-money layer on top, a la Mastercoin, as the better option. But he who gets there first often beats out the superior option.)

However it plays out, it'll be insanely bullish for Bitcoin. As in, adding another zero or two to the price :-)

that is bold considering that some say bitcoin will kill paypal.


Yep thats why I said we found the whale!

Also, paypal might not die from bitcoin if it integrates with bitcoin.... assimilation.... resistance is futile
There's no "IF", it's "WHEN"... Wink

Let's compare charts from different exchanges.

MTGOX. We are still under the double top's neckline.



BITSTAMP and BTC-E.  We are already above the neckline  Grin





What does it mean? It probably means that we need to use other indicators to say where we are going to.

I'm doing the most mundane work ever. Get paid to sit here watching this thread and i286 while rendering files on a laptop.

sorry I figured this is more interesting than 'wall observation' has been so far today.
