All people calling bitcoin a tulip craze don't realize that one of the main differences between both phenomenons is that the tulip craze was not supported by a worldwide digital platform called the internet. I mean the internet seems to be causing a qualitative effect on several phenomenons once they reach a quantitative peak thanks to the ease of interaction the internet provides. Look at the Arab spring, what seemed like a regular discontent or protest that wouldn't achieve much managed to topple whole governments. In my opinion this day and age we are witnessing very nice examples on how quantitative changes lead to qualitative ones thanks to the internet. So trying to predict what will happen to bitcoin using a phenomenon which happened centuries ago without having something like the internet to support it is not very accurate IMO.
Don't overcomplicate things. Tulips are useless.

Tulips are not useless, they might not be a good currency but they can be a store of value, nobody has control over your Tulips but you

You keep tulips, by all means - however, I am not much of a gardener, I will stick with BTC Wink

Bitstamp down once again, when there will be an exchange that cares about their long-time brand? Maybe bitcoin is shown us now that it has power to stay here awhile, maybe that will courage entrepreneurs to really make an exchange that doesn't fuck things up, at least nearly ever.

Well, if you're a US player (like me), then set your sights on Coinsetter (which currently accepts coins only), and Kraken (which is hoping to have their CA money transmitter license by JAN, as per an email to their support this week)!

I think we've see the days of arbitrage, and they are coming to and end, and hopefully we are about to see the end of bad exchanges. The market's getting better.  Cool

EDIT. I'm not trading these little dips and I don't think this will bring us more down, but it still isn't acceptable to go to your knees every time someone sells few coins...

Wow, I just bought and sold that dip-- got my order pushed to the other side of the spread 3 times, had to market sell out. Scalped $50 all told.  Wink Gox seems to prioritize funny sometimes (manipulator math), and I think market buy's and sells may actually be better for those whips and dips. Scary. Guess it's time to make coffee...  Roll Eyes Roll Eyes Roll Eyes

EDIT: Definitely some sharks in there, be a bit careful if your opening and closing positions right now folks. Happy Coining!

RUM AND CARROTS: A PIRATE LIFE FOR ME
Learnt my lesson in the past... holding through this.



Big mistake... It's never gonna pop back up. Just sell everything and take your losses.

Ok I will won't take your word for it.

845... 846... 847? Stamp already bouncing back.

Learnt my lesson in the past... holding through this.

Edit.. Stamp 834, Gox 817.  Makes me nervous when Stamp's ahead.

That should be a big clue that the 'crash' is artificial.

Thanks for this, wasn't sure how to interpret!

Add to that Bitstamp is DDOSing out intermittently (can't let people move their coins on other exchanges during big manipulation) and you know it's a fake. Bitstamp isn't DDOSing out from Americans on saturday at 10am (east cost), 7 am in westcoast. :-)

Dear Noobs: Welcome to the weekend dip. Please deposit all your $890 bitcoins in my account and post a million threads of remorse on monday about how you shouldn't have sold when the price skyrockets back up.

signed,
buy and hold

Nice.

yes
Demand is not strong today, so both bulls and bears will be disappointed, unless one of the whales loses it again.

If this bounces back, watch out bears, next stop $1000, or a tad under Smiley
