Bitcoin is the only investment/commodity that can rise 25% or more in one week and be met with a "meh" by the people holding it.

It's obvious you misunderstand the full definition of "fiat".  Fiat can be a government issued currency but it also is defined as a currency with no intrinsic value.  Bitcoin, like USD, only has value because we agree that it does.  Thus Bitcoin is simply another form of fiat currency.  Bitcoin though, is not debt based.  So thats good.

From the actual definition of fiat, the value stems from an authority claiming it to be worth that much.

Bitcoin resembles regular fiat in that it has no backing (Though I believe a fiat currency /can/ have something backing it) but I think it is misleading to call it a fiat currency since there is no authority which sets its value. I think it would be much better to call it a concordant currency since its value is set by agreement between trading parties.

Yawn, let's end this?  It's getting dull

IMO the rally has been running on fumes the last 2 days. We're in for a correction this weekend.

If we look at something like prohibition, which is probably a more apt comparison than education, government should have learned that outlawing some things is counter productive.

Bitcoin is taken seriously and they are already thinking about possible regulation!


Hmm. Interesting possibility. Govt launches UScoin using Bitcoin technology but with a different blockchain and, of course, they provide the dollarcoins. Clearly that would be as subject to inflation as the USD (probably) but would that be enough to take some of the wind out of Bitcoin's sails? (I'm sure that has been discussed elsewhere on this site).

I'm not sure how it would be possible to represent all that data in a single image.

Very, Very carefully...Hmm...I suppose that is a good question...I guess the best way is that video on youtube instead...oh well...

Although, the last 30 days of info would be awesome in a really high definition version of your 3D chart that was ((zoom(in/out))able) that I could throw on my desktop as a background...or have the youtube style gif as a windows screen saver...  Shocked

I figured it would be just the amount of BTC at each value range in a text file no?  I would still like to see it in it's entirety if it's at all possible  Grin

Perhaps in can be stuffed into a database and consolidated that way?

Yes, it's stored exactly as it's pulled from GOX which is a JSON encoded structure with prices (in two formats), amounts and a timestamp for each. Each minute comes to a file of about 150k (30k when zipped) which pretty soon adds up (1440 minutes in a day). Deltas should be a lot smaller but I need to write something to diff the structures for that.

I'm not sure how it would be possible to represent all that data in a single image.

ERMERGERD!!! There's a hotdog stand that accepts bitcoin!!! I'm out, peace bitches!

RABBLE RABBLE RABBLE!!! RALLY RALLY RALLY

Though if it was in New York, I'd hate to imagine the scene when the guy at the front of the line turns and says "Just waiting for six confirmations".

News flash: http://finance.sina.com.cn/money/bank/hykx/20131115/083317332778.shtml

The CEO of Huobi, one Chinese Bitcoin exchange which processed tens of millions of dollars a day, has told a journalist that out of the site's VIP customers(those who trade more than 10 million CNYs per month), 40% are females, it's widely suspected that most of them are damas, i.e. female kins of wealthy businessmen in China.

He also confirms that they have started talks with Great Wisdom, maker of China's leading stock trading software, about the acquisition of his company by Great Wisdom, and is developing a series of financial products based on Bitcoin.

Thank you. This is great news.

And it gives us a new wonderful zen catchphrase: do not fear the foam.

Quote
For those who want to participate bitcoin investment people end Hongbin proposal is also very straightforward, do not fear the foam, just make sure you run faster than others fast on the line, "The more people behind their smaller the risk, the risk lies How often have you next home and any one bubble is true.
