Someone keeps putting a 100-200 coin buy order right at the current market price on Gox, and moving the order up as the price rises. Choo choo?

Anybody else really, really surprised by the poll results? I mean, I'm very bullish (despite not really being a trader, just someone who has a non-life changing amount of BTC) and I think there's a small chance indeed that Bitcoin won't be superseded by the time the price is $30,000.
I'm not saying "sell now" at all - I think there's a long way left for Bitcoin - but $30,000 would be my prediction for, like, 2025, by which time I'm sure that there'll be a more dominant cryptocoin around. But as I said earlier, I'm a novice to this game, so please take my comments as mere speculation, not advice to more serious players

I'm not convinced that mBTC is a good idea. Seems like some people just want to fool the market and noobs into thinking that bitcoins are cheaper than they are. One thing about Bitcoin is that it is the first 100% honest money. If it costs $1100 for each coin, then so be it!
I think it's evolution, not just for the noobs. Unless you look at it as commodity, not money. When my friends ask me how much have I paid for something in BTC, answering something like 0.055 sounds geeky, but that doesn't serve a purpose.
I think its fine for websites and shops to use mBTC. But the exchanges are a different story. Google shares are $1050, Platinum oz is $1350, Berkshire Hathaway shares are $172k. Let's see Bitcoin pass this sucker: http://finance.yahoo.com/q?d=t&s=BRK-A
I agree with this. I think there should at least be a link on bitcoinity to switch back. I personally don't like it so much. I looked at the live ticker and thought holy shit, someone just bought 13,000 bitcoins.. .. no, wait.. ah right. Confusing for my poor hungover noodle this morning.
Also, when i looked over and saw a volume spike on Dec 1-2 for 50 Million.. i was also like.. whoah.. that's a lot... no.. wait a min.
Would be nice to at least have the option for the old way too.
there is an option. just click on preferences in the top right hand of the page and switch it back to BTC.

i just checked out a recent post by newegg on facebook.. they asked a simple question: "what would you like newegg to bring for your techmas this year?"
the comments section was being bombarded with "bitcoin bitcoin." we are 1 by 1 putting the pressure on them to start accepting. see here: https://www.facebook.com/Newegg/posts/10152063129624168

If that deserved to get deleted my entire post history is about to disappear.
Indeed. That should go into the first book of Bitcoin poetry.

so dumb, switched it right back.I'm not convinced that mBTC is a good idea. Seems like some people just want to fool the market and noobs into thinking that bitcoins are cheaper than they are.

but if BTC is to become legitimate, it has to cater to the lowest common denominator. people are irrational.

Yeah, he said all along he would do that at $1000. I am glad he did. Someone needed to lead the charge. To AT LEAST find out if it will hold or not. I don't really care either way, but I do think we should let the market decide. It will take a little getting used to, but we need to see if its the right move and quit arguing about it theoretically.

It seems Bitstamp is the "bottom" and Gox is the "top". The last settlement (as in, the last time the price came close to settling, given how volatile this market is), it was when Bitstamp and Gox prices came to the closest I've seen them since I started following the market a few months ago.
Experienced, wise speculators, does this make sense or am I talking out my ass?

I think it's an effect, not a cause. Arbitrage gaps close when volatility decreases.
Stamp appears to be on the move.

Do you feel that using grams as a unit of exchange for gold is a bad idea?
Some people don't understand that a bitcoin is divisible (I think everyone understands it's possible to buy less than a TOz). This solves that problem. I don't think it's fooling or defrauding anyone.
It's not entirely their fault for thinking that, either. BitCOIN does make it sound like an indivisible whole.
I am strongly in favor of the change. There's always the option to switch back - if you like it like that, the change isn't aimed at you anyway.
