Yes it would be fun if people were answering these polls under an oath, otherwise it will be a mix of wishful thinking, manipulation and bullshit.

Ahhh, just like THE FREE MARKET! Smiley

I'm always grumpy in the morning.
I cannot and will not accept a definition that's internally inconsistent. Even if all others in the world do accept it. You're right this may impede communication.

Good luck in your fight against the windmills of the entire English language, and the futile attempt to appear smart in the process. Yeah that sounds like productive use of time.

Definitions cannot be right or wrong. Per definition.

lol imagine drug lords standing around waiting 40 minutes for 6 confirmations before finishing their exchanges.

Haha, fantastic image. Guns held, gangsta-style in one hand, smartphone in the other...

That was the image that came to my mind ... could get pretty tense  Cheesy

One of the premisses to call something a crime is that it brings harm to others. Therefore the set of "victimless crimes" is empty: {}.

The dictionary and the rest of the world appear to disagree with your use of words. But, of course, you are quite free to wardrobe any crimson that you tarmac.

Anyhow, I think it is interesting, and thus fun, thus NOT "pointless"! Smiley

It's not really useful as what people believe of the near future price will be factored into the current price.

Governments take advantage of this tendency in order to conflate "criminals" (those who break legislated law) with bad people, "crimes" (breaking their laws) with breaking the very rules that allow society to function, their legislated "law" with natural customary law (http://mises.org/journals/scholar/hasnas.pdf). This semantic obfuscation is as insidious as it is powerful and should be confronted whenever possible, in all fields.

I think at this stage, you need to explain how it is inconsistent and what your definition of "criminal" is.

That being said, I don't have any moral issues with SR and may very well start dealing there one day. Just don't know what to deal.

I'm not talking of Mr Manip who hit twice on Sunday but Silk road retailers, asic companies and other stores who used to liquidate on Friday but now i notice an anticipation from some to Thursday. With those walls currently in place,and if they do stay, maybe the price may hold above 105.

CPI released in 5 days. Not likely to have an effect though probably.

I like reading this Sir-Bits-A-Lots comments, but don't let the name fool you. https://twitter.com/SirBitsALot

As stated above, I noted rising price on decreasing volume then was going through his twitter feed and it was one straw on my back too many...

I beg to differ, even now, it is interesting to see what people think... and the ramifications of the responses, and our knowledge of that affects valuation and actions of each of us!

I think it provides a window on what people think, and thus their view will affect what will actually happen.

And if people believe it will/may go below, say $50, then that means, that most of us who ONLY HAVE BTC, must sell at some point ABOVE $50... thus starting the ball rolling/falling towards that "low" from where it will make a HUGE BOUNCE back to somewhere...

Anyhow, I think it is interesting, and thus fun, thus NOT "pointless"! Smiley

In other news: guys, time to sell. Really.

Well, I'd be lying if I said your banting of selling didn't effect me.  Wink
But I also saw what you were saying and it bothered me. It bothered me since the sideways low volume.
The final straw was the 3 day move up on increasingly lower volume. That is a big warning sign to me, though not an end all.

I am partially in Fiat now. It was tough to "cash in" that paper wallet, but was a release as the chart really does scream "We might go down hard if good news doesn't it and someone decides to sell, like our weekend guy."

What is super interesting is the way sellers are not forcing their sales for the most part. You see small walls as the price goes up. But they don't seem manipulative (they get bought into).
I guess large holders are smart enough to not set the BTC down.

Now, if something happens and BTC volume starts, we have to consider buying as the down move isn't guaranteed. Just today the Nikkei is down again 6% or so! Man, is that 25% in 4 weeks or so?
