This is slightly off-topic, but chodpapa and some others were discussing what might be NSA's endgame to the recent Snowden stuff, and this article jumped out at me:

Well, I'm 100% in BTC - all 1.38 of them XD
Annoyingly, I bought in at 143, just before the big dump a few days back - after deliberating if I should.... as always.
I think the whales are connected to my brain, to do the opposite of what I need.

Seriously man, go make graphics, wait tables, mow lawns or something and use it to buy coins. You'll do a lot better than trading 1.38 BTC...
Let's say you can make $10 an hour which is certainly on the low side for someone tech savvy. Let's say you put in 2 hrs a night and 8 on the weekend instead of hanging out here and eyeballing bitcoinity. So that's $100 or .71 BTC a week. Do you really think you can make a 51% return in BTC (.71/1.38) per week trading?
Sure the equation may change once you have 10 or even 100 BTC... but trading it is very risky whereas earning and buying is not (in terms of amount of BTC amassed).
If you haven't reached your BTC investment goal, then if there is ANY time in your entire life where it makes sense to work weekends or skip expensive friday night bar hopping then that time is now.

ooh ... whale showing a fin again 
When did this obsession with the Whale God start? It's like, any time anything happens it's "because whale!" Some of you sound like you'd sacrifice children on an alter of fiat money if someone told you it would make the Whale Gods happy.
We don't need no stinkin' whales.
Well we got em whether you like it or not ...
If there would be no whales we would "never" swim from $65 to $150.
Negative. The strength of the users and hard work of the community is what got us here.
ROFLMAO
Hahahahahaha

I'm really quite surprised by how quickly Mrs. Market is pushing down after this relentless buying pressure. some groups of people have amassed at least 40k coins and more continue to come out of the woodwork. I wonder how long this can be sustained.
selling pressure can only be sustained for so long, if no one is selling... No one's selling! and buyers are fucked! But luckily there's big generous BTC whales out their sending spending and selling!
for how long tho...
forever!

what's in your wallet!?
Mostly just shopping receipts, my driving licence and a couple of debit cards. I refuse to have a credit card so there's none of those in there. Most people carry very little cash these daysThis might not be very exciting but you did ask!
I see that the whales ignored my request to bring the price up to $100000/BTC whilst I was out, how disappointing
I use CC
for the 1% " bonus dollars "

Rise have to be because of people want to get out of gox, because there are better ways to buy bitcoins if your money is not stuck in gox. Second reason might be goxs own playing in their exchange, but idk about that.
+1
the price isnt going up after those big buys simply because gox is having troubles and we all are aware of that.
also, we had a nice 2k dump few days ago on bitsamp. I guess someone cashed out part of those mtgox$ buys...

its going up because poeple want btc and they have dollars, that is all.
what's in your wallet!?

If you want to maximize your profit, you should buy BTC during a 'low'. Right now we're not in a low, so buying now is risky but can still make you a profit since we might top at 200 or higher before the trend reverses. It all depends on when these whales run out of fiat, and that's impossible to predict. It's a fun game isn't it?
