Someone or someones made 2-3 big buys.
hard to know how all those folks who bought $750-$900 month of January will react. Or if they still hold.
Bitcoin becomes a story again for speculators.
Like a 1 million dollar ad campaign
Screaming out for a quick short. Little overextended. But that ain't me. Cool move.
There's your $40 haircut
Finally in the black!!!

I don't really follow bitcoin but it must be getting more & more mainstream when it reaches my news feed. Another bitcoin bank, flexcoin, shuts down after 600K theft:

It appears bitcoin’s recent turmoil has claimed its first life.

Autumn Radtke, a 28-year-old American CEO of bitcoin exchange firm First Meta, was found dead in her Singapore apartment on Feb. 28.
Local media are calling it a suicide, but Singapore officials are waiting for toxicology test results to determine a cause of death.
Radtke formerly worked with Apple and other Silicon Valley tech firms on developing digital payment systems.
Radtke’s death brings the number of questionable financial-sector deaths this year to eight.
Boy, that escalated quickly.
it seems a hack a day, this "industry" needs banking software. this is ridiculous:
“The hacker discovered that if you place several withdrawals all in practically the same instant, they will get processed at more or less the same time. This will result in a negative balance, but valid insertions into the database, which then get picked up by the withdrawal daemon.

Until Nakamoto says anything else, we're left with what appear to be his three Amazon reviews: "royal danish butter cookies in a big 4lb round blue tin can. it has lots of buttery taste." Five stars.
A 64yo sitting on half a billion in a modest house, and they post full name, birthdate, picture, and picture of his house with his cars license plate in it.
What the fuck.

SINGAPORE — The American CEO of a virtual currency exchange was found dead near her home in Singapore.
A police spokesman said Thursday that initial investigations indicated there was no suspicion of “foul play” in the Feb. 26 death of 28-year-old Autumn Radtke, meaning officers do not suspect murder.

Bitcoin is virtual money that cuts out banks and credit card companies, and has gotten more popular recently. Here's what you need to know about the original cryptocurrency.
The spokesman said police found Radtke lying motionless near the apartment tower where she lived.
Police have so far classified the death as “unnatural,” which can mean an accident, misadventure, or suicide.
Radtke’s company, First Meta, said it was “shocked and saddened by the tragic loss.”
First Meta allows users of virtual currencies such as bitcoin to trade and cash out the currencies. It is one of several such exchanges.
The future of bitcoin has been under scrutiny since the collapse of the Mt. Gox exchange in Tokyo last month.
Radtke had worked at other tech companies. A funeral for her was held Wednesday in Hales Corners, Wisconsin, according to Hartson Funeral Home.
Postings on her Facebook page showed her to be a believer in the potential of virtual currencies.
Last month, she linked to an article on entrepreneurs suffering depression, commenting above the link: everything has its price.

Someone with access to Satoshi Nakamoto's forum account just posted that Newsweek has the wrong guy.
Let the idiocy begin:
http://money.cnn.com/2014/03/06/tech...ase/index.html
The news to me was that Newsweek is still being published. My grandparents used to have a subscription. It was delivered by the mailman.
Doxxing the guy without "getting a story". What a fail. If I was the editor I would sack the reporter.
Could this idiot reporter simply approach Nakomoto. Make clear they suspect he's the guy and work out some kind of arrangement for an exclusive story? Sure he goes into immediate denial mode. Let him stew a little. He'll call back.
The whole thing is just so epically stupid.
Forbes continues the stupidity...
The Outing of Bitcoin Creator Satoshi Nakamoto Is Important Journalism
http://www.forbes.com/sites/kashmirh...nt-journalism/
Not one revealing thing was disclosed except that he exists. WTF. They failed to get any interview with him. Doesn't journalism often involve speaking with the subject? WTF
This is priceless too.
She’s likely right in her speculation that he hasn’t cashed in because doing so would have outed him, as he would have had to reveal his identity in some way to the Bitcoin to USD intermediary he used
WTF
He created a currency that existed outside the influence of governments and banks! His creation binked. Does it seem natural that he is going to convert to dollars?
The idiocy has already begun.
