I admit it and always caveat it when I inform others about it and virtually all over at BTC forums do as well. My holdings are fairly small compared to my PMs but the holders over at the BTC forums have hundreds and thousands a piece.Originally Posted by kcchiefs6465

Last trade $121.90 6:06 PM 4/12/13 looks like it's rallying strongly under the circumstances. Now I wish I had bought at $70 earlier this afternoon...
That is the whole problem with it. Everyone is just pure speculating, this has turned into a casino.

I'm in to bitcoins for the long term. My libertarian and techie sides think it is only going to be more useful over time.
I did diversify by selling some coins, got some gold and silver. It was less than 10% and it adds to the coin collection too. It's a win win!
The Main exchange dying in the middle of a press blitz and increase in value was a bad thing for bitcoins.
let us teach them that all who draw breath are of equal worth, and that those who seek to press heel upon the throat of liberty, will fall to the cry of FREEDOM!!! Spartacus, War of the Damned

But the early adopters must provide liquidity for the market. How else to do that?
Among other things, it's supposed to be stable and reliable. Most people who sell things don't want to speculate that the bitcoins they acquired might be only worth 70% as much as the item they sold in exchange for them a week ago. They'll go out of business if the volatility goes the wrong way at the wrong time.
The volatility won't disappear until it gains wide acceptance, but it won't gain wide acceptance unless the volatility disappears.

"Government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem."
Ronald Reagan, 1981
We need a primer on what bitcoins are for members who immediately think it's a ponzi scheme. We have argued the same points over and over.
How they work, how they're mined, cryptography, what the blockchain is, transaction confirmations, fees, etc etc etc...
Bitcoin 101.
Been day trading a classic... whatcha been up to?
'We endorse the idea of voluntarism; self-responsibility: Family, friends, and churches to solve problems, rather than saying that some monolithic government is going to make you take care of yourself and be a better person. It's a preposterous notion: It never worked, it never will. The government can't make you a better person; it can't make you follow good habits.' - Ron Paul 1988

Has anyone considered that this recent run up has gotten Bitcoin in the mainstream somewhat and therefore more valuable? I have received emails from people who know nothing about this asking me if I am aware what's happening to Bitcoin.
Bitcoin is backed by nothing. Whether that is better or worse than the promises of politicians that back state-issued currencies is a tough call. I see some merit in it being used as a transaction medium (the obvious benefit being the lack of state control), but I do not see merit in it being used as a store of wealth.

I am a libertarian. I am advocating everyone enjoy maximum freedom on both personal and economic issues as long as they do not bring violence unto others.
