    Granted I never actually sold anything so I didn't heed my own advice. Shame really as I would have bought back in now.

    Yeah I'm thinking $30 - $50 is great buying on BTC should that end up being possible - wish I had USD left in my BTC-E account.

    BTC as a currency is here to stay, this big crash should drive all the speculators out so the whole process can repeat itself again in a year or so, just like in 2011.

    I'm not rushing to get back in. Where ever it ends up it will be there for awhile, most likely months.

    Damn, I should have got more out near the top. I'm fantasising about using all that money to establish a much bigger position and still have plenty left over.

    Oh well, waiting for the silver bubble now. Hopefully, I'll get this one right since I've directly been involved in 2 bubbles now and only partially capitalised on them.

    I personally think the moment Mt.Gox reopens it's going to go nuts again.

    A completely decentralized currency using a centralized exchange.... the downfall.

    Back now. 502 looks like a DDoS might be underway.

    Well they are discussing DDoS attacks on their news page that they are experiencing.

    Interesting news out today that the Winklevoss twins are claiming to own 1% of all bitcoins.

    So 110,000?

    A post the other day I saw on a Bitcoin forum, which had the largest wallet sizes on the network, had the biggest one sitting at 111,000.

    So possible?

    Of course.

    But it shows you there are some big players, with a lot of Bitcoins in single wallets.

    It's 12.6 millions at today's price ($115)
    It's 27.5 millions at $250 yesterday

    Damn that's a lot of money :)

    Yeah, that's one wallet.dat file you'd want to have backups of.
