im hoping for another mini dive due to ddos, i sold 10btc @ $95, lets see what happens in the next few hours, although i gotta say they are actually holding up well to the attacks as i see hardly any engine lag.

The tulip mania argument. Used by people with no clue about bitcoin OR tulip mania. They just hate bitcoin and see other haters use it as an argument and simply repeat it.

I'm assuming it was before demand doubled, tripled & quadrupled over the past few months

Edit - Are we talking fully verified with Passport & Utility Bill scanned for removed withdrawal limits?

Ya. 2 months ago or so?

But who knows.

you can still fund your account without being verified. I sent a bank wire yesterday and it was in my mtgox account this morning. I bought BTC' then sent those to my btc-e account and bought LTC's. I am bullish on LTC

I know you can but personally I'd rather have my account verified with Mt Gox so they don't have an excuse to hold my money if I want to withdraw it in the future.

A lot of people are having issues withdrawing funds from an unverified Mt Gox account

I'm pretty bullish on LTC's too, will be interesting to see how much they rise once Mt Gox announce trading of LTCs

There are tons of places accepting and using Bitcoins now and it grows every day. And fast.

Tons must mean something different in the NL. :2 cents:

I just pulled my cash from the bank to invest in them based on his response.

27,000 people; if that isn't widespread acceptance, I don't know what is.

God, you fucking idiot.
20k accounts a day get created at mtgox alone.

What a suprise, another bitcoin hater who has no clue whatsoever.
Just wants to hate something he doesn't understand.
Sad old man.

Dirty F 04-18-2013 11:10 AM

Why do all the clueless haters insist of making an idiot on themselves? What is it with those people

NONE, read my words, NONE of them have a clue whatsoever yet they keep making up facts and pulling stuff out of their ass.

I don't think i've ever seen something like this ever on gfy on such a scale.

Serge Litehead 04-18-2013 11:13 AM

gold is widespread, it's time to buy. heh

Hi,

I withdraw from my btc-e account. I just use my mtgox account to fund my btc-e account. You cant fund your btc-e account with a bank wire. BTC-E has a few different ways to withdraw your cash.

fund your mtgox account, buy bitcoins, transfer bitcoins to your btc-e account, exchange them for LTC, wait like a bull

You know, 10 mins ago i was gonna type that your next reply probably will mention pyramid or ponzi. Because that's how predictable you retards are.
I couldn't be bothered because i was eating.
It's clear you are absolutely clueless about bitcoins (and pretty much evertything else). That is fine with me but why do you insist on looking like a fucking pathetic idiot? Why? I just can't understand this.

baddog 04-18-2013 11:44 AM

Perhaps you should get a proxy IP and watch the Colbert bit on bitcoins.

Couple of questions for you if you don't mind.

What are you using for a wallet to transfer coins around? Also, how quick are transfers made? It seems like there's quite a difference between the exchanges. For instance coins are selling for $90ish on BTC-E right now and $95ish on MTGOX. Seems like there's potential there but I'm guessing there's too much lag time in transferring between the exchanges?

one thing i think is important to keep in mind is that it's not accurate to compare the crypto-currency to currency like they did on the colbert report and elsewhere. the big reason being btc is a proof of concept still in its infancy while the other is 200 years old and all the benefits that come with that.

Perhaps you should learn about them so you stop looking like a fucking imbecile. Or just stfu. Both will have the same effect.
Ah fuck it, let me take care of it myself.
You're going on ignore. Buh bye sad old man.

The haters don't care. They have no clue how it works and they don't care. They just repeat the same old ponzo pyramid bullshit because they saw other haters doing it as well.
Wait till santa finds out about tulip mania. He will repeat that 10 times.
Notice how Baddog is actually behind? Pretty much all the other haters stopped using the pyrmaid thing a week or 2 ago. They finally found out how dumb it was. And here comes Baddog :1orglaugh. Poor guy.

baddog 04-18-2013 12:02 PM

I do not know if I can stay on GFY if Franck is putting me on ignore.

It takes about 10 minutes to transfer BTC's from mtgox to btc-e

It takes less than a day to send a bank transfer to mtgox from Chase Bank

It takes a day to get your bank wire from btc-e

I have not sent anything to mtgox from btc-e
