Why not $888, since chinese people like USD too right?

I seriously doubt we'll break $1,000 by the end of the year. Perhaps by the end of 2014. Either way i'm holding long-term so as long as we get there (and I do think we'll get there) I'm happy.
I'd like to see a crash first though. Then I can buy in a bit harder and walk around with more than 1BTC in my pocket.

why only 8, in Chinese, 6 and 9 are also for luck and fortune
I remeber striking a deal with somebody in China...
There were exactly 8 clauses in the contract. Then we removed one, they agreed and divided another in two

Interesting theory I like it.
But why before the end of the year?

Long live the chinese superstitions
Bitcoin is soon going to turn out to be a revolution
Bitcoin is soon going to turn out to be a revolution
Not anytime soon (if ever at all). Currently, Bitcoin is nothing more than an eye-catcher, ill-suited for any real purpose

$1000 isn't to much because in some chinese culture, "gambling" is included on the 10% budget of their income. So one can expect 10% average increase monthly from china for those speculators, and even more on the heavy investors. Now is the best time to mine!

8 isn't always good.
Nick Leeson, the rogue trader who destroyed Baring's bank -- also relied on the number 8.
The account number that he used was "88888".

You should be an authentic Chinese to get luck with 8's...
Hehehe

I thought 4 was the bad one cause it means death.

So here's my silly theory. The Chinese are really into numerology, with 8 being a very lucky number. As I'm writing this, BTC is 2454 CNY (on BTC CHINA) or $402USD.
I'm thinking that we're going to go to 8888 CNY or $1459USD before we see fireworks.
Can anyone with knowledge of Chinese culture share their insight on the 8's?

Also, there're 8 immortals in Chinese mythology who give life, fight evil and are believed to know the secrets of nature. They represent male, female, the old, the young, the rich, the noble, the poor, and the humble people

Are you chinese ? over 1k is too much
November 09, 2013, 10:15:52 AM
8 laid down means infinity, so you may well guess the right price for BTC (and the chinese knew this from the onset, lol)...
