SHORT Bitcoin, still dropping as (perfectly)planned. targets 7500/6000

As one of the few here i was shorting Bitcoin -0.18% at 11.500/11.600 because i knew that big inverse H&S everyone was looking at would be a big bull trap. I predicted an acceleration down, which clearly happened (look up my previous charts for more info). I closed most of my short positions around the 8500 because there i predicted a short covering rally.
Even though my first target was and still is 7500ish, i closed my short position at 8500 because i expected a move up towards the 9800/10.200…

Hello Dear Friends!
Up, down - A spike... And then another spike! Yesterday we saw how people were getting their hopes back - we had something that could have turned into a real reversal, Elliott Waves were taking form, BUT then...

Gox might be selling thousands of dollars again in the near future, has ONCE again created a lot fear, un…

History: Land Of The Stone Money

If you ever go on holiday in the western Pacific it is highly recommend to swing to the Yap Island. An experience in Micronesia you will never forget! It is home of the most interesting form of money in history and called the “Land of the Stone Money”. About a thousand years ago natives mined huge pieces of limestone and carved them into gigantic circular discs (approx. 5 to 10 feet in diameter). Over a foot thick and weigh several tons. They called them "Rai Stones" and they were actually used …

BITCOIN: Misinformation - What can we do?

I see a major trend in a lot of the articles and posts that say Bitcoin will never work and will crash to the ground. They don't understand it. Nothing makes me more furious than people and article bashing something that doesn't have half the facts right.
People are afraid of the unknown, and that fear is fueling the misinformation about Bitcoin. What can we do about it?
There is no media department for Bitcoin, because Bitcoin isn't a company. You and I are that media department. It's up to us

Let's see where to launder some money... I never liked the idea of an 'Esperanto' currency. My dirty mind coming from a highly corrupted environment always has an idea of potential misuse

@jezz: It's the well-known dilemma ... the two sides of the same (Bit)coin. Things can be used in different ways ... positive/negative. You know, paper money (ca$h) is widely used (and highly misused) and makes possible many of these same nasty transactions by people with evil thoughts.

I would rather discuss positive aspects on the related note, like freedom, privacy, efficency, convertibility, independence, etc.. However, it is not credit based and it does not allow for interest free credit.

It is the first notable independent internet currency. It allows businesses and consumers to diversify their methods of payment, making them a little less dependent on the Government monopoly. It also shows that a free market for currencies already exists. Of course regulators are inimical to them, but current legislation does allow for all sorts of units.

Bitcoin is one of the top open-source, open-code community projects. What do think?

perhaps one day we may have to read the "spectacular rise and ****" of Bitcoin.. Sorry for being sceptic but a contra-punto would do some purpose.

Open... To what extent? It cannot have a status of the cosmos - came out of nowhere, made by God's touch... Someone has the biggest interest.
You could make 'Puppy' as a currency and put it on the market... where's the catch? We're evaluating fog here.

BITCOIN: The Lehman Momentum?

Bitcoin Exchange MtGox* goes dark after theft report. The largest exchange for the internet currency abruptly stopped trading on Tuesday. What has happened? Supposedly, 744,000 Bitcoins have been stolen in recent years by a vulnerability in the log.

Bankrupt or a made off to the Caribbean? Wild rumors are circulating on the internet there. Great fear is about that the stock market went bankrupt. No reaction on inquiries by phone or e-mail at MtGox.

A disaster

@maikfx: It is more precisely about ... security and trust (in people or things). Um, well, it ain't about that popping bubbly thingy you meant (giggle). Thanks a lot for your comment! :)

@Daytrader21: Well, well, the "Lehman momentum" headline appears to be an eye catcher. It is definitely not a direct comparison with the matter of Lehman Brothers. I would like to express the significant momentum of "a great fall" within the bounds of all possibilities. Alternatively we could have said "The Humpty Dumpty Momentum" ... people like nursery rhymes! ... All the king's horses and all the king's men couldn't put Humpty (BITCOIN) together again. Thanks for your note! :)
