We're all gonna die!  On another note, I chopped down a tree this morning, well chainsawed it anyway.  Was indeed fun.  I don't think a lot of those that expect a crash greater than 61.8% understand the sheer amount of money that was and is still coming in.  Over 225 Million dollars has changed hands in the last three days alone, just on Mt. Gox along with 2.25 Billion Yuan (~367,000,000 USD) on BTC China.

That is er... quite a lot!

Bitcoin fuelling rise in cyberattack ransom demands

"Bitcoin has fuelled a surge in the number of cyberattacks where computers and personal data are held hostage in return for ransoms paid in the almost-anonymous virtual currency.

Ransomware attacks, where hackers encrypt computer data so it cannot be accessed until they receive a payment, have risen more than 1,000 per cent in the past two and a half years, according to data from security company McAfee.

There were over 300,000 known incidents in the last quarter. Deprived of the use of their computer and important files and with little recourse to the law, victims often feel forced to pay the attackers the hundreds of dollars that they demand to unlock the data.

Cyberattackers prefer to demand ransoms in Bitcoin because it is much harder to trace than credit card payments in conventional currencies. Using Bitcoin is the online equivalent of leaving a suitcase full of cash in a park, with the added advantage that its soaring price – rising above $1,000 last week – gives criminals an extra way to profit from the attacks.

Mikko Hypponen, chief research officer of F-Secure, a cybersecurity company, said the Cryptolocker ransomware had become a “major headache” with fresh victims emerging all over the world.

“Companies have been infected and it doesn’t just encrypt the hard drive, but every file a computer can access on a local network,” he said.

Hackers used to demand payment vouchers such as MoneyPak or PaySafe or even iTunes gift cards which they then resold. but ransomware is becoming much more popular now they can use Bitcoin. The virtual currency is anonymous, at least until it is exchanged for conventional money.

The cybercrime unit of the UK’s National Crime Agency warned last month that a mass spam email campaign was targeting small and medium-sized business, luring them to click on email attachments which infect their networks with the Cryptolocker ransomware.

In the US, a Massachusetts police department was reported to have paid $750 in Bitcoin to recover images and documents after it was infected with the same malware. It paid the ransom despite a recommendation from the US computer emergency readiness team that victims use a security expert to remove the ransomware. The Swansea police department did not respond to a request for comment.

Raj Samani, McAfee’s chief technology officer for Europe, Middle East and Africa, said cybercriminals no longer needed to be technologically capable as the ransomware was available to buy as a kit online. He said there was now a “rich and varied marketplace” which was moving crime online.

“It is an evolution of crime, with more and more people migrating over to this as it is physically safe, considerably easier and harder to enforce,” he said.
Bitcoin’s anonymity has made it a preferred currency for people buying drugs over the internet, as on the Silk Road website which was shut down by the FBI earlier this year. It has also spurred on other types of cybercrime such as theft of bitcoins, which are simply long codes, and Bitcoin mining, where the processing power of hacked computers is harnessed to maintain the public ledger of bitcoins in return for payment in the currency. "

Further proving that demanding Bitcoin is just like demanding cash? bullish for this week?  Huh

All three exchanges still trading real close....

2 bucks between them as I type, it's not coincidence - been like that for hours now - I think it went $12 at most even when it was doing a yoyo earlier...

guys chill out, love more, hate less Cheesy

Nice joint, eh?  Wink

Yeah, I had to smoke one this morning-- been a major turning point, exits are closing up, looking at the 'arm of death' (if it's even real), yet again. A much needed change of seasons, IMO. Winter must always come. Here at my in-laws *he lives at even more tenuous in-law unit!!?* it snowed here last night. I'd be surprised if we are heading back to the uptrend. Happy holidays a little early folks!  Smiley

Winter maybe is coming. This Spanish weed sure is good, too bad it run out this morning, my trading suffer, have to go to the local burger king tomorrow Grin

havent been able to leave yet, damn i have to go soon, can you guys keep it steady another hour? Smiley

Wow, you can tell by the postings that already so many have sold below their buy, the secret is to either hold or know you can close a short before you open it.  Just because 100 other people who have no reason to want to profit off of your loss tell you that 100$ BTCs are right around the corner, you get blinded by greed.  This party is just getting started, going to be legendary and define the past blips in the radar.

Agreed and back from the party, had some nice drinks and girls company and i thought we were goin to be at the 500s,   So Awesome guys for keeping it above 700s XD u rock, i can sleep for a while to get sober and be back later, now pls get it to the 800s and ill be more than happy lol

I changed my mind. BTC is doomed.

Well I found a filipina friend who lives between singapore and philippinnes so not everyone is like that or needs your money.  There are a lot of poor people too that westerners pray on.  Filipinas are more loving than western women, western women go for men with money, muscles and looks and rarely personality.  Hence why i've not found anyone Smiley

guess you shouldn't generalise but my Uncle married one, she was obsessed with $ and left him cos his investments didn't turn out well.. other filipinas at work kept trying to hook people up to get their friends and relatives into australia - one old guy bought in, practically got married before they met.. it's quite blatant but I suppose marriages of convenience work for some.

The way I see it though at age 31 in the uk i've never had a british relationship (I had a 2 week date with a latina girl she was confused about whether she liked girls or boys, after then later inviting me to usa with her to do flight training she actually liked girls and i met her american girlfriend over there and stayed there with her for 4 months so i know it was true love for them.)

I've had a 4 day date with a latvian girl living in liverpool, we went latvia ice skating.

I then met a filipina girl on facebook living in singapore with her cousin.  I went singapore and we did fun things like the zoo.  We're still friends, shes gone back to manila to work.  She's not looking for love with me or anything

So that's why i'm happy going to manila again

I know there's people that need money.  I wouldn't go for the ones that are too obvious.

I'll be better out there finding 2 weeks of love than dieing without ever having anyone by living in the uk.

Asians like Sweet guys, UK's like hot guys.  I'm the sweet guy type lol

Sorry - but I have to ask..... Do all sweet guys have links to selling porn in their mail signatures?
You're a girl aren't you? Why can't a kind person do topless models as a job? It pays the bills.  And even if I actually did get off on it, why would that make me an unkind unsweet person?  I'm still friendly to everyone.

No, I am not a girl.
So what's my link got to do with sweetness? How is it linked to the lack of it?

I think this conversation is over.  Sorry - but the details of your lifestyle are really not something I want to discuss.

It's a Bitcoin forum.

What's great is that Gox whale's can only manipulate us for so long, you can almost see the arrogance... It seems BTC-E and BTCChina are about to lead the recovery.

The news has been great so far, we just had a 500$+ drop, over the weekend when there's no money coming in, I'm not sure what more you guys are looking for.

If we go down from here, buy more, but I doubt it. 

Just remember most people on here have an agenda.  Fact is there has been great news for weeks, there is plenty of money on the sidelines who sees a 500$ discount in front of them, and lol fiat is still trapped on gox.
Being so public that bitcoin is, we can see the manipulation so clearly.

There was something i think on RT news about the FX market getting manipulated every once in a while.
