Anyone else find it eerily strange that bitcoins rose to $49 and change before receding back down? Just like silver. That is quite the coincidence.

The number 50 is a psychological barrier. I don't think it will go over $50. I'm waiting for Bitcoin to drop back to $2, then buy up a shit load and wait a year till it goes back up to $50. That's basically what I did last time (I didn't buy a SHIT LOAD though last time.)
BTW, BrotherJohnF did a response to Chris Duane's video. Of course Chris releases the video right before it's obvious the price is going to crash.
Huh? Stupid me....
I just listened to brotherjohnF in the video above, and here's what I heard.
Apparently, according to the Brother, both times these bitcoins crashed was because they were HACKED?
In other words, this isn't technically a Ponzi Scheme, Nooooo, it's just a different kind of pump and dump scam that can be controlled and manipulated by anonymous HACKERS?
BrotherF admitted this is so, so how it this not the case?
"Trust those who seek the truth, but doubt those who say they found it."
BrotherF never said Bitcoins were hacked. He said the EXCHANGE was hacked. MtGox (Bitcoin exchange where you buy / sell bitcoins) was hacked causing the price to drop dramatically. The other exchanges didn't get hacked.

This would be equivalent to someone breaking into NASDAQ and selling Cisco shares for pennies on the dollar and buying them on the cheap anonymously. The stock (bitcoins) are secure, but the exchange is the one that got compromised.

Bitcoin does appear to be in a manic phase but it's important to remember that the number of bitcoins in existence is finite. Susceptible to pump and dump schemes but comparisons to the Tulip bubble are far fetched imo.
everything we learn changes that which we know to be true
Bitcoins are a fledgling currency. That means that right now they're not as stable as many expect their money to be. It's to be expected that as bitcoins develops and finds it's footing that there will be fluctuations in it's price. This makes many people uncomfortable, and they mistakenly conclude that these fluctuations prove the inadequacy of the currency. Years from now, when bitcoins are on solid ground, these fluctuations will be a thing of the past and bitcoins will be one of the most stable currencies in the world. If you understand this, and other dynamics of how money works, you can use it to your advantage.

This represents a serious breach in the integrity of the system.(Bitcoin exchange where you buy / sell bitcoins) was hacked causing the price to drop dramatically.
These manipulations are occurring. The hack caused the price to drop dramatically through manipulation. It was HACKED.
It happened twice already. How can this be considered a secure alternative currency when it's being manipulated by anonymous fucktard hackers?
It's a pump and dump operation in which only the hackers, (the insiders) know exactly when the crash will occur because the fucktards themselves cause it.

The most popular - or at least best known among the commerce sites thus far - is the aptly named Silk Road. This early-'90s-esque eBay/Craigslist hybrid is a marketplace for anything you won't find on the aforementioned clear net inspirations, from the odd to the downright illegal.
How do you get to the Silk Road? Well, like any other anonymous service, it cannot be reached through a typical web address. Instead, you can only load it up on Tor, and you must use its "onion" URL:
http://silkroadvb5piz3r.onion/silkroad/home
Once you load up that site in your Tor browser, you'll be prompted to create an anonymous account, after which you'll be presented with a bazaar of goods from guns to cocaine to cold, hard cash.
Why cash? On Silk Road and the many other sites like it, the currency of choice is the digital cash-equivalent known as Bitcoins. Exchangeable for dollars, euros, and virtually any other global currency, these controversial digital coins make it possible to take credit cards out of the online commerce equation, allowing the secure digital equivalent of mailing envelopes of cash to a PO Box. Just like cash, there's no way to trace them, and no recourse if they are lost or stolen - but they are also just as anonymous and free from regulation (for now).
Too funny. We rail against da evil jews printing money "out of thin air" then brag about getting rich mining Bitcoins out of thin air.
