Now down to $670

Hopefully this is the crash I've been waiting for. Want to load up Sub $300 or even $200

Same. I have a lot of money ready for it. I've been selling my stash in small intervals. I've made a lot of $$$ this week.

I don't have USD, or CAD trading account so I cannot capitalize on these moves unless the price drop is sustained.

I hope so, just waiting to see where it goes before I buy back in. Yeah when it bounced off of 900 at Gox I knew it was time to exit. At least that was my gut feeling.

685.00

BTW I sold at 835.00

Are you getting close to shopping for the big spread in the hills?

Hell I wish, I've only been trading 2 coins, 1 at each (BTC-e, Mt.Gox) exchange. So yeah while today's gains have been impressive no where near enough capitol to tell the boss here's my 2 weeks. LOL

Bitcoin Trades Over $1000 On BTC China Exchange And Crashes 30% ... Then Rebounds

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 11/18/2013 - 20:38 http://www.zerohedge.com/sites/defau...C%20drop_0.jpg


Putting to rest fears that today's Senatorial hearing on digital currencies would crater Bitcoin (if in the immediate term), moments ago the digital currency priced in USD on the Mt Gox exchange, rose to yet another unpredecented price, hitting $850 moments ago, or about 50% higher than where it was this morning. But you ain't seen nothing yet. Because at the same time, the Renminbi-denominated price of Bitcoin on BTC China, has the digital currency at 6780CNY. At a USDCNY exchange rate of 6.09, this means a price over $1100 per Bitcoin. Naturally, at this point we would suggest picking up the 20%+ free arb, however it is unclear how one can short the CNY priced leg of the transaction, or if for that matter, there is even an actual, liquid market in the currency. Because as the final chart shows, taken literally moments before we were going to post this article, BitCoin touched $900 on Mt Gox... and promptly tanked to just under $700, entering a bear market in the span of seconds on what appears to be about 10,000 trades.


Government is DUTCH TULIP-ing Bitcoin. That's one way to destroy it - make it go exponential and then CRASH!

LOL - forget the lost gold and silver. This guy lost a fortune in unrealized bitcoin gains! If he doesn't go postal I'd be surprised.




WARNING: Do NOT Buy Gold or Silver from Bitcoin Site Coinabul
by Jason Hamlin - Gold Stock Bull
Published : November 17th, 2013

This a quick warning message to gold and silver investors: DO NOT purchase any bullion from the bitcoin website Coinabul.com. This site has built a reputation as the first and one of the only sites to accept bitcoin in payment for gold and silver. I have used them in the past with no problems, but my latest order that was supposed to come the next day, is now nearly a week late.

In addition, their customer service is not replying to emails or answering the phone. Their phone number goes to a message saying to call back tomorrow during business hours, even if you are calling during regular business hours. I have also found several other people on popular bitcoin bulletin board sites complaining about never receiving their orders from Coinabul or receiving them months later.

While the irreversibility of bitcoin and ability to transact anonymously can be a benefit in many situations, in this instance it means that I might have been ripped off without recourse to recover my payment. Fortunately, I only made a small purchase with a fraction of my bitcoin holdings, but the company could be pulling in thousands per day in bitcoin payments from those not aware of the potential fraud.

24hGold - WARNING: Do NOT Buy ...

Their website continues to function, updating prices on the fly, with no message about delays or other fulfillment issues. The items that I ordered, American Silver Eagles coins, have even changed to the status: “out of stock.”

Using a site like Coinabul is a great way for those that have built up hefty gains in bitcoin, to take some profit off the table by exchanging bitcoin for physical metals. In my view, this is an excellent time to do so, as Bitcoin is now over $400 and precious metals are trading at very oversold levels after correcting sharply in the past year.

I will be updating this page if I hear anything back from Coinabul. Hopefully this was just a misunderstanding and they will respond soon, but I am not holding my breath after reading similar stories from others over the past few months. It seems silly to rip off a handful of customers and lose all credibility in a business that was legit for a long time and apparently was processing a good amount of bullion orders every day. This loss of confidence in Coinabul opens the doors for competitors and probably marks the end of the company.

As an investor and proponent of both gold and bitcoin, I really want to like Coinabul. If there are supply issues or regulatory problems, don’t accept orders or at least tell customers about the delays. If you can’t deliver as promised, return the bitcoin payment immediately. This is just simple common sense and good business practice.

In the meantime, please be advised that I still have not heard anything back from customer service after several days and multiple attempts to contact them via phone and email. I may have lost my money and been con-a-bulled, but hopefully this reaches people that may be considering a purchase from their website. Buyer beware, at least for the time being!

Here a few links to others complaining about Coinabul not delivering bullion and keeping their money:

24hGold - WARNING: Do NOT Buy ...

If you would like to purchase bullion with bitcoin and are looking for an alternative to coinabul.com, check out Agora Commodities. I have no affiliation with them and have never used their website, but others have reported success and quick delivery. I am going to put through a small order and will review their service after it is fulfilled. It also appears that their prices are significantly lower than Coinabul.com.

885.89 on Mt.Gox.

I'm getting a little concerned now. This a parabolic rise... Way too high, way too fast.

Tell me about it. I sold at $400, after watching it double from $200 in less than two weeks. I feel like a retard about now.
