A few people are going to have egg on their faces depending on how bitcoin performs. Me? I will just sit on the sidelines and watch. This is fun drama :)

Same here. From a mass psychological perspective it is fascinating.

Yeah. I have not seen anything like this since Beanie Babies. Mass speculation.

Dude, that was my first bubble as a 7 year old. At the peak, my grandma got me a $ 150 beanie baby for my birthday. Screw you Radar the Black bat!

Were beanie babies really that expensive??!! I think I kind of remember. I owned a couple.

I had a couple full sets of the free ones you got with a happy meal (I was too old for happy meals at the time but my friend Managed a McDs), they were going for $100 or more at the peak for the set. I still have some in a closet somewhere. Just in case that beanie baby mania takes off again, lol.

Comparing a beanie to something that lets you wire transfer out of your oppressive country is retarded.

Time to grow up haters.

I don't find sanctions very funny. I'm glad you both do. How nice that your spoiled selves never lived in a shitty country before.

there wont be any egg on my face, even if bitcoin goes to a million as many think.

just as theres really no egg on my face if i roll my eyes and shake my head at my buddy who puts $1,000 on double zeroes at a roulette table. the fact it will come up once every 38 or so spins makes it a gambling proposition.

Then why are you being such a dick towards something that helps people out?
 
You used to be able to buy a house in Amsterdam with a tulip.

That said, I still wish I would have bought some bitcoins at $1 or so when I first heard of them, but am glad I didn't at $250.
 
mtgox seems to be having more "technical difficulties". Cannot load the page.

Of course it happened after I put in a buy order that I can not cancel now if I see a plunge (because I cannot see anything).

What other exchanges are working to see what their values are?
