By giving a sthi about WU, I am able to serve the Bitcoin community much more:

Coin is undervalued. Target for November $310, see how.

$310 per mBit?

Even after the big bad news from Western Union that dropped their stock yesterday, I'm not buying back my short position on NYSE:WU.
Long Bitcoin, Short WU unless and until WU buys MtGox and saves both WU and Gox, then I buy back and go long for the long bomb.

Seriously though, if Gox had WU's Money transfer licenses and global reach, and WU had... well...  bitcoin, they would both survive.  As it is they are both dieing.
If the goxxers here need any help putting that deal together, give me a buzz.  Smiley

If WU bought MTGox wouldn't they instantly lose all their US licenses and be liable for all fines the US wants to pin on MTGox for things that happened in the past?

WU would lose no licenses.  WU is already doing money transfer and have the channels in Washington to negotiate on the fines.  WU will be slain by bitcoin faster than they think, unless they do something.  This would be a big win for Gox and a big win for WU, if they can get to "yes" before their independent death spirals sweep them into the dustbin of history.

It would give Gox the largest localbitcoin franchise globally there is, and WU would cut costs tremendously.  All bitcoin holders would benefit.  Its win-win-win.
But... I'm betting they don't, and am holding my WU shorts until its a penny stock

And I'm holding my WU longs. If WU loses market share at the rate you're predicting, I'll profit way more from my Bitcoin holdings than I can ever lose of my (limited) WU investment.

If WU closes a bitcoin deal, you will win on both, if not, I will.  Either way we both win on bitcoin.  Smiley

Hi-five!! I covered it right at the open and reshorted it on the bounce. Interesting future targets are Visa and Mastercard.

I went over the conference call transcript and interestingly there was no mention of bitcoin specifically, but they did say that the "competition" is becoming stronger.

Great minds think alike.

Edit: you guys are right regarding foolishness of staying on Gox, and I've recently wised up.  I'm verifying for Stamp and moving my funds (not much) asap to Bitstamp, UK exchange, I'm in the UK, feel much better about that.  Wish I did it earlier when we hit 180.

Are you storing your BTC on an exchange?

Day traders still use it for volatility reasons but they don't even accept usd deposits anymore.

I just looked at funding options, there was no mention of not accepting USD.

You can do bank transfers to our bank in Japan in the following currencies:
USD, GBP, EUR, CAD, CHF, SEK, DKK, NOK, AUD , NZD, HKD, SGD.  Any fee charged by your bank or an intermediate bank will be deducted.  Our bank charges a 1,500 Yen receiving fee.

It takes 2 to 4 weeks for a newcomer to learn about bitcoin, set up a Verified account and wire funds.
IMO the recent good news, press coverage and anticipation of new money is already reflected in the price.

I'm not sure, but depending on what you mean by "recent", those 2 statements contradict each other.

It might be that by "priced in" you mean that "big old" investors have already gone long. If so: yes.

The "fresh money" will have an effect on price nevertheless. I'm assuming some of the current longs will try to sell into the strength when the fresh blood starts flowing.
