are you sure? I thought they just caught the guy in a library with one of his entire wallets and they are still missing tons of money.

how would they make the connection? What comes out of coin fog is nothing like what went in. you would have to just amount match, there is no other common factor.

come ON

I might just have to wait until they implement bill payments.

Yep, this was a major blow - I managed to make cash deposits on the last day they were available.

Of course LTC prices are going up now and i'd love to buy but have no funds left in my account :(

I'd do a wire transfer but I suspect the new bill payment feature might be available by the time my wire would clear anyways.

I got my account approved.

I got my money ready.

I just cant push myself into supporting this. Its too volatile and too crazy.

I'm happy for every gaffer who made hundreds or thousands or *gasp* millions on this but I have too much going on my life to invest in this.

With Satoshi being all picky, I can't be all political about it and have to make a decision. When this becomes a true currency, I will gladly own a few of it.

Thanks again for the great tips, everyone (incl. my fellow NYC backpacker, criesofthepast!).

That's wise. If it's not money you can afford to lose, then you shouldn't do it.

I can see it now.

"It hit $50,000? why didn't I invest when it was $1,000!"

Or he could laugh at us if this becomes the OT version of the Brera thread.

The point is to not run in throwing money around you can't afford to lose.
The biggest joke with bitcoins is always how much should I invest with the answer always being SELL YOUR CAR AND TAKE OUT A LOAN/MORTGAGE YOUR HOME!

But I mean tossing in a few chips you don't mind losing is always better than coming away burned for more than you'd care for.

We may have the same friend. I told him that invest that $2000 on bitcoins instead of getting a mining machine.

Seems to be caused by the news of China banning financial institutions from using BTC, link.

Are there broker fees with bitcoin?

wtf MtGox allows you to deposit bitcoin, but if you try to remove it to another wallet, they don't allow you! you must also wait for verification. that's fucking stupid.

their fees are also pretty high. suck it mt gox. never again (once I get my money out).
