Bitcoin down $80
 

It had to happen, looks like the bubble finally burst.

I noticed that. I sold/traded most of mine last night.

lol keep watching

ah that sucks

any chart site which isnt down? :)

i've been waiting 2 weeks for it to drop and almost said fuck it this last night/morning and bought back in.

Yup, it could be over :)

Buy buy buy @ 130

Edit, I get bad gateway when I try to view this link now.

That's one of the problems with bitcoin, low volume means it's easily manipulated by those with enough cash to play pump and dump.

damn, when i left for dinner it was still going on 230$ or something

Lol )

If you know a market has low liquidity and you know gox has SHITTY infrastructure you act accordingly. If you dont know... someone smarter than you gets your coins cheap.

No one is being "manipulated". It's called a free market.

All the sites are having attacks

ahhhh shit, here they come

as mentionned in another thread

1. Ddos the exchanges
2. watch the price drop
3. buy all the panicsells
4. ????
5, profit

rinse and repeat every week

I'l buy some for 5$

All markets are manipulated to some degree.

With such low volume it's easy for mainstream investors to buy a few millions worth every day, watch the price rise, dump it all at once, buy it back, etc.

Doesn't mean it won't keep going much higher, or that current price doesn't reflect intrinsic value.

That is one shitty tracker.

Manipulation is a word people use when they don't want to take responsibility for their actions.

I haven't read any stories of people with guns to their head being forced to place sell orders.

hm where are these people selling their bitcoins? so in other question where can we buy in? ;)

You can't rinse and repeat if faith in the currency ceases to exist. If nobody has faith, who is buying? The other pump and dumpers?

A ddos attack following big sell orders to create panic is a market manipulation, anything that interferes with the free and fair operation of the market is a manipulation.

Doesn't matter if people had guns to their heads.

It's actually the definition of free markets. prices dictated solely by supply and demand left 'free' of any interference.

how can you be happy about this? LOL

Is anyone stopping you from using another exchange?
Even opening another exchange?

But it isn't down at least...

Not happy. Just no panic or anything here.
If it's over it's over.
But i doubt it is. I think it will grow again. But we will see the same thing happen again in 2 weeks. So, we have a problem if this thing wants to grow. People will lose trust. They already did after this massive crash.
Imagine this happening again in 10 days.

there are way too many people waiting to buy in at a low price for it to die anytime soon. eventually i think it will run out of steam once enough people have bought or sold at the wrong time but for the time being every time it goes down, i'm sure it will go back up again.

People need to stop buying just to make money for investment and actually use it for it's intended purpose - to buy stuff.

Fuck sake I'm not even a bitcoin hater, far from it.

If I pollute a river upstream to buy farm land at depressed prices I am manipulating prices, doesn't matter if nothing is stopping me from making my own lake or even moving to another state.

Definition of free market is not free-for-all but FREE of interference. interference doesn't come much more clear cut than a DDOS attack.

Now if you want to have the last word no worries carry on. I'm done.

ok where can somebody buy atm?

So when people say "that woman is one manipulative bitch" they mean she is holding a gun and making others do stuff? :winkwink:
If you do not fall to manipulation it does not mean manipulation did not exist.

all are being attacked

:disgust

I didn't call you a hater. I'm just debating the topic. It's fine if you don't want to.


Usually when a girl gets one over on me I take responsibility for misplacing my trust and I don't let it happen again. Gox has had this problem over and over If I let the same girl do the same shit to me repeatedly... then I deserve it.

In a free market the actors learn whats going on and adapt. In a state controlled market you have daddy government holding your hand doing all kinds of shit that causes market distortions.
