Bitcoin: On Line Currency Taking Off
- palish 15y agoThis is nuts. I received 5 Bitcoins about a month ago, and didn't really think twice about it. I just checked, and if the current trade price holds, then I now have $146.50. That's a phone bill payment, for just being lucky. Pretty sweet. I'm trying to sell them right now on MtGox, and I'll post how much I actually walk with after fees. EDIT: Since typing this, I've "lost a dollar". Trade price now $29.091 * 5BTC = $145.45 ... I've sent my 5 bitcoins to MtGox, but the site says it probably won't register for a couple hours. Then I have to place a trade order. EDIT2: While typing the above edit, price went to $29.685 * 5BTC = $148.42 ... extremely volatile right now! EDIT3: That's odd. This article has completely disappeared from the front page, with 26 points (and posted 1 hour ago). EDIT4: This article was killed? What for? Um.. Oh well.
- spenvo 15y agoBen Rooney was wrong. At the time the article was published, BTC was trading for ~$30 not ~$15. Also, here is a site that uses web sockets to provide real time order info and price resistances: http://mtgoxlive.com/orders http://mtgoxlive.com/orders
