Wish we had an etf to invest in already. Then i could buy through my trading account and keep it in my tax free wrapper. Grr.

Can you withdraw and create a self-directed IRA with the tax deferred portion?

Lovely 400 + dump on a Sunday evening just now!

[JayJuanGee]

i'd like to remind everyone that if you buy bitcoin and it goes down on you, you can and should delaire capital loss.

today is a good day to buy.
 

You can only declare capital loss if you actually sell.. which in my thinking would NOT be a smart thing to do (to lock in losses), especially when we can anticipate with pretty decent levels of confidence that if you wait sufficient amount of time that loss on paper is going to evolve into a gain NO MATTER at what price you bought at in the past... so long as you wait it out.. it may take a year.. but whatever..  Personally, I would rather have a gain than a loss.. , even if I have to pay taxes on the gain.

You can only declare capital loss if you sold it.  If you sold it then it means you were scared about the price loss from when you bought it.

Assuming you sold it and it went down more, one could say they saved money by buying back in at a lower price.

You said it first...

Transactions are steadily increasing, suggesting adoption is still on the up.

 I think a mini rally is brewing.

And price just broke 400 again on Stamp and Finex...

Transactions are steadily increasing, suggesting adoption is still on the up.

Well, however, this chart of USD transaction volume per day (excluding apparent change-backs) does not show steadily increasing adoption at all. Either adoption has been stagnating, or slightly decreasing, since January; or e-payments account for only a small fraction of the transaction volume.  (My guess is the latter.)

If we look closely at your chart, even the number of transactions per day has hardly increased from January to August (60'000 tx/day), and is now only slightly higher than it was in March (74'000 against 72'000).

Bitcoin traders need to create their own association (with a modest fixed fee, so that it will not be dominated by whales).  Part of its mission should be to obtain reliable economic data and other information relevant to traders, and push for more transparency at exchanges and other bitcoin ventures.  You will never get that from the Shrem Karpeles & Friends Foundation, or from the bitcoin news outlets.

Break below and back above again. This is choppy, alright. I'm still really unclear on where this will go next.... I think $420 and definitely $440 are resistances we are unlikely to pass. And I have my sights set on $340 or a bit higher before we see a nice rally.

Agree with you 100%...

We are on the verge of the biggest bubble ever....

I think something is required to take us over the tipping point, I suspect that will be circle going live out of beta.

Cheap coins @ Bitstamp - 1500BTC for 400$.  

[adamstgBit]

i see a wall! 

[Argwai96]

People are still calling for bubbles? Maybe we should break the bear market first. I don't think the relationship between transactions and price is clear at all (it could also be manipulated pretty easily).

we are not on the verge of any bubble...

at best we'll be able to hold 400, then have a decent rally.

[oda.krell]

If I were a whale, I'd be careful with that 1.5k wall at 400... some other whale might be tempted to take it out in one bite, for a slippage free chunk of $400 coins.

Textbook fake 6h macD "recover" after a dump - probably retest of 350~ range is coming soon(ish)

[adamstgBit]
