BTC-e is fine.....somehow.
Everyone be careful in clicking links, there's zero-day java exploit that automatically empties your Mt Gox and other accounts and installs a keylogger:

Gox is up.

Bitcoin crash just happens to coincide with PM's crash. Funny how that works. Might make someone think it is orchestrated to make the serfs think the dollar is the only game in town.

I have lost total respect for Mike Adams with this. His ego has finally gotten completely out of control.
His ego and emotionalism has proved him to be a knee jerk, who reacts on impulse, has no patience, cant see the forest for the trees, exaggerates. WHy cant he just be honest and say he's too scared of having bitcoin on his site and pull it, and not slam the whole idea. Bitcoin is just getting started Mike, the volatility is to be expected. In 2 years Bitcoin will be back either as itself or a Bitchild fork, in 5 years cryptocurrencies will be all over the place, hopefully with many diversified currencies who can't be easily slammed by fascism. The future of crypto lies in local, diversification, and of course the failure of fiat. And the rise of metals, which will happen as soon as they are made illegal. Im not selling my pm's or bitcoins now.

The infrastructure is being built. What we just saw certainly was a speculative bubble, but in five years time, I bet price discovery for bitcoin will be over and it will have settled to a comfortable stability.Quote:

Yep, it has to sink or swim on its own terms. If the infrastructure doesn't catch up, well we'll all be looking at a big goose egg. But IF it can raise to the challenge, I think everyone will benefit. Even those who do not even use it as it will be a source of competition with the dollar.Quote:

People are now coming together to make some (awesome?) open source exchange software.
It would be nice if there was a decentralized exchange system somehow...
And yes I think that is possible.

Well, I'm totally out now. I lost a pretty good amount of money (a little over 50% of what I put in). Learning experience I guess.
If the metals markets weren't melting down right now I'd have maybe stayed in, but things are too risky right now.
I hope this was a good learning experience.

Just saw someone buy 1010 btc, then a few trades later someone sold 553 ($50 dollar level).
But yeah....$50. Dropping like a rock.
The pain of a big loss in real experience is indeed something you will remember for a long time!Quote:

I may be wrong, but I think it's near a bottom. Unfortunately most people buy into things when they are near the highs and not near the bottoms. Especially with Litecoin just barely under $2, I think both are a good buy here. Litecoin could be one of the best investments you could make right now, and has potential of going up 50 fold or more in the next year or two. That's my own opinion and if I had spare cash I'd be buying up Litecoin, not Gold/Silver. I hate to pump things, but I really believe that.

I agree. It's just that these exchanges are all so shady and risky that I don't even like to use them at all.Quote:

Goodluck. Fucking banksters just shut their bank account down like that. This transition period is ugly. I hope it doesn't shake your overall belief in cryptocurrencies since of what banksters just did.Quote:

If I had left it as cash it could have taken weeks to get it back.
