When I look at the chart with a logaritmic scale and draw a line it ends up somewhere between $5000 and $10000. Let's see what's going to happen. But yea, past performance is no guarantee for the future.

True, but the total amount of bitcoin owners are in the millions. AznHisoka stated that only 1000 people own bitcoins, which is simply not true.

1000?! Where did you get that number from? Coinbase has 650.000 users alone...

Agree with the cutting losses, but we see these patterns all the time with bitcoin. Big chance it will be up to old levels in 4 days. The long-term sentiment for bitcoin is very bullish (or at least that's my opinion). Cutting losses i

Yea, they may be. But not now. The trader's goal is to buy low, and sell high. Selling low makes no sense.

As long as bitcoin is seeing these huge crashes for no real reason, it's not a mature investment vehicle. There's absolutely no valid reason to sell right now, this crash is just driven by panicking people. I think this is mostly

Day trading isn't really possible with Bitcoin imho. Of course you can trade, but trying to apply traditional analysis methods is useless. There are 2 good reasons for this: 1) the volume is (still) very low, and a lot of wealth is in

Yea of course, but I'm already busy with 3 different projects and none of them will use Azure any time soon (actually 1 will, but I'll get a new bizspark for that). Al my credits were just wasted on idling servers...

I'm doing this. Not Bitcoins, but Litecoins because mining bitcoins wouldn't be profitable at all. I'm running 7 XS (single core) Windows Virtual Machines that run CPUMiner (or minerd). They produce around 3.6 KHash/s pe

I know, but not on Mt Gox or any of the western exchanges. BTCChina is not really relevant imho, since we can't go there and sell our bitcoins. Plus, their rate is usually completely out of sync with the other exchanges.

Yes. It's one of the biggest online revolutions going on at the moment.

Because the chance that Bitcoin will go down from here and will never become worth more than it's worth now is 50%? Sorry, but your comment is just bullcrap.

Actually you can here in the Netherlands. We have a website called thuisbezorgd.nl that allows you to order food from thousands of shops through the country with Bitcoins, and have the food delivered at your house.

Depends on what you're going to do... General stuff like 'Writing secure code' and 'introduction to algorithms' are useful to read.

Ah, that's actually a great idea. Going to try it on my Surface RT :) It would be awesome if I could do some simple hacking on my tablet for those occasions I have to wait or when I'm in an airplane or something :)

One advice: ALWAYS use a Limit order with bitcoins. Both limit buy orders and limit sell orders. That way you're guaranteerd to buy/sell for the specified price instead of the next best offer.

I really like this idea actually. If the performance would be (a lot) better, it could be a very nice alternative to advertising. Everyone who visits your website would 'pay' you with some CPU/GPU cycles, and in trade for tha

I'd say Ripple ( https://ripple.com/ ) can be seen as the new Bitcoin. It's a bit different though.

Luckily there are weekly deals and monthly deals. P.s., the game Chivalry that is in the store now is awesome :)
