    guy kills himself over bitcoin losses

    well not yet, but it is coming.

    to many people playing with a significant portion of their life savings here, people will get rich, but many will loose it all.

    I am not convinced it is over, or even that I will never invest in bitcoins, but i certainly wouldn't skip a mortgage payment to be able to invest more!

            shit is all over the place, I get it, like I said, someday I may have money in BTC, but it would be money I didn't expect to get back. Not an investment, but a gamble, and I like to gamble now and then.

                There were trades as low as $60 on BTC-E.

                Longterm it looks a lot like an investment to me.

                      It's looks like a graph of my success at the Black jack table, which I hardly call an investment. slow solid gains, then one day I hit it big, that night I went online and bought new golf clubs and started looking at new cars, next day I lost more than I had won the night before. this looks surprisingly similar, I bet there were guys out test driving exotics two days ago based on money they will never realize.

                      Anyways, I have no issues with those who are into BTC, not trying to bust anyones balls, or call anyone a fool, it's everyone's choice, and like I said, I may gamble some of my money on them at some point, I would just personally consider it a gambling.

                          I watch the news, not the GFY news, the one where they interview people quitting their jobs to work on their BTC mining set ups in their basements, people who are selling real investments to put money into this. People who have very little but scrape together what they can to give it a shot and just end up with a huge electricity bill.

                          again, not hating on BTC, I just know it will end very bad for some, but then lots of things end badly.

                          tomorrow they could go to $300, next week maybe $1000 but that wouldn't change the way I feel about them, because regardless of any real world factors, they could go to $60, or $20 just as easily.

                            it's a cryptocurrency currently being hoarded as an speculative venture.


                            Speculation is the practice of engaging in risky financial transactions in an attempt to profit from short or medium term fluctuations in the market value of a tradable good such as a financial instrument, rather than attempting to profit from the underlying financial attributes embodied in the instrument such as capital gains, interest, or dividends. Many speculators pay little attention to the fundamental value of a security and instead focus purely on price movements. Speculation can in principle involve any tradable good or financial instrument.

                                    much of that is very much like dirty f's original thread here about it, something along the lines of *i've studied btc for the last several days and i am putting everything in it.*

                                    see what i am getting at?

                                        Thanks. I haven't put myself danger, but I am a huge fan of the actual technology behind this.

                                        It's just super fatiguing having the same debates over and over about the fundamentals.

                                        Amen

                                            We have to wait and see what happens when mtgox starts trading again.
                                            I hope they get their shit together in the meantime.
                                            If they come back and go down again because of ddos and too many users then it's game over as far as i'm concerned.

                                              I hope they get their shit together in the meantime.
                                              If they come back and go down again because of ddos and too many users then it's game over as far as i'm concerned.

                                              I'm gonna risk a few bucks too - not alot, waiting for my mtgox account to get funded with roughly $800. I figure it's enough to make a few bucks if it does good but not enough for me to really give a shit if i lose. Here's to hoping that I wake up to $40 bitcoins at mt.gox.

                                                Buying when you can is good.
                                                A lot of people will do this when mtgox comes back is my guess. Tons of people have been waiting for a price drop so they can buy in again.

                                                  Any investment opportunity should be money you never expect to get back. That is kind of the definition of investing IMHO. I don't believe in long term investments because I think they are rarely profitable. I prefer to scalp, you get more consistent payouts and I think in the end you'll make a lot more too.

                                                    Last time was too many users:
                                                    "First of all we would like to reassure you but no we were not last night victim of a DDoS but instead victim of our own success!

                                                    Indeed the rather astonishing amount of new account opened in the last few days added to the existing one plus the number of trade made a huge impact on the overall system that started to lag. As expected in such situation people started to panic, started to sell Bitcoin in mass (Panic Sale) resulting in an increase of trade that ultimately froze the trade engine!"

                                                      does all this power consumption accomplish anything? is the processing power being used to accomplish some goal, is it being resold, or is it just wasted power consumption?

                                                        i don't get it. what does all the power consumption of television accomplish.

                                                        why is btc held to some lofty goal like this?
