A good opportunity to buy in though if that's your bag.

It's a roll of the dice for sure, the market is clearly hugely sentiment driven, will this crash kill short to medium term progress? or will it just bounce back and fly up again?

Answers on a postcard.

You already know what I think :) People just hoarding the bits like a commodity hoping to sell to a greater fool. There must be a lot of people who bought < $100 wondering if they should dump it as its going to $10, or buy more as its the opportunity of a lifetime.

It doesn't half move about. Off to bed now, could be $10 in the morning or $1000.

mtgox is a load of crap, the most popular exchange is ran by Mickey Mouse on his special hardware, it fills its pants at the slightest drop of a hat, freezing trades out and creating spectacular buy/sell lag (it was an hour earlier, yes one whole hour lag)

lol @ some of those sites
https://weexchange.co/

Does anyone actually put real money into those sites? At least mtgox looks half legit.

Oh man that sites funny! I've used intersango and mtgox, the former was the better IMO but uk banks kept pulling the plug on them! :(

I cashed out using intersango before the banks pulled the plug. It's very hard to turn BTC into £ now.

LOL @ my first website https://weexchange.co/

I'm up 100% on my virtual short. I've put a virtual stop loss at $90

Nicely done 8) It'll be swinging about like Linford Christies dick in a sprint for the foreseeable IMO

One for Sam...

As of today you now have a method of shorting bitcoins (and with some modest leverage too) - you'll also be pleased to know that its via a spread bet...  :)

Currently ~ £220 a pop.

Did you keep any Sam or just trade and exit?
