Gox has problems, but they always sort them out- supposidly the larger you are a client, the faster they sort things out too. :-)  

Gox is a USD black hole. USD can't get out. The problem started 6 months ago, and it's just getting worse.

Hello
When are people going to learn that large exchanges can and will manipulate to their pleasure?  This is not governed and neither are they, there isn't any SEC violations, they can do what they want.  "Oh thats our security protocol preventing sells in a free market.."  "Yea we are experiencing/mitigating DDOS attacks while the price fluctuates and are currently performing mental calculations to see when it will end"  "Our buy button always works when its rising but we have a lag of 900 seconds because everyone is hitting buy so much"  People should have inate trust in the hash of a bitcoin but that trust should not autonomously be extended to the brokerage firms around it.

The rise in price is not what is bothering me. What IS bothering me is that people seem to think the rise in price is a sign of it going mainstream. BUT IT'S NOT. It's just a hype brewing right now. Speculators wanting in on a quick profit.

The rise in price wouldn't bother me at all if the bitcoin economy/ecosphere/trading platforms/regulation were ready for it. BUT IT'S NOT. And when people realize this it's gonna come crashing down, only to rise again in the future, once all the stuff I mentioned above is in order and in place. Wel...Maybe this is the way it works.


thanks for posting.

I miss bears.

Statements like Ardana's are not bearish...why is everyone here so polarised?

A few days back everyone was cursing Stamp, before that Gox was public enemy...and rightly so, these are the biggest 'Western' exchanges and they are rubbish.  Everytime there's a spurt in volume we either get a ddos attack or server can't cope.

The infrastructure just isn't there yet ...being a 'bull' or a 'bear' is not going to change this (unless you get of your ass and do something instead of just wanting to get wealthy).



Right and remember, mainstream is not the goal in the speculation thread. Price discovery, OTOH, is precisely what we yell bull or bear about. There are plenty of more thoughtful threads on this forum (and the Foundation pages), but none as fun.

tl;dr Welcome to the snake pit. Here, watch me light a fart on fire.

Dude, chill. It's gonna go down again some time and you can re-buy.

It may, but I sure as heck wouldn't bet my wealth on it . . .

Bingo-- $812 is still a decent buy in if you want to catch 50 - 200 pts before a correction (or worse, the most giantest crashola in the world because bitcoin is doomed doomed (*lights self on fire, jumps out window*)  Tongue

I don't think anyone seriously thinks it is going mainstream yet - it's the fact it might be a lot bigger than it is.

Sentiment, old chap - sentiment....

Okay, Bitstamp is starting a lot to look like mtgox.

I can log in, but the site is slowed down a crawl.

I really wish there would be a viable alternative.
