$13k not $13M.

Hardly a cause of the massive movements over the past couple of days, but who knows.

i find this so hysterical.

I will give you a piece of advice i wish someone had given me years ago. if you don't understand the economic process for dealing in currency and have to ask questions like "should i buy...?", "whats the best thing thing to buy?" etc you are pretty much guaranteed to lose all your capital investment. Not only are you clueless at any dealing you are undertaking you do not even have enough knowledge and skill to process any advice and conclude its worth.

Currency dealing is incredibly difficult, time consuming and costly. To add to that a broker and a currency that nearly all the ewalletts are hackable that support it means to invest in it is just monetary suicide.

Ah...well that makes a difference Hardly woth a mention then...I mistook the decimal point for a comma...

Over the day, Bitcoinbillionaire gave out 11 tips, some of which were thousands of dollars. By Business Insider's calculation, he or she gave away $13,627.69896 worth of Bitcoins.

i don't know for sure but i would say based on pure conjecture that he/she obtained a lot of stock at very low price as an early investor. This gift could be construed as fairly minimal "investment" looking to get, i am assuming its a derivative, some media attention to drive the price back up. The massive end of day drop would lead me believe that a lot of the serious investors had decided to sell at the perceived cap.

it just seems a pretty obvious attempt to keep bitcoins in the media and generate stories that have multiple legs to keep stories appearing. Keeping visibility of the commodity to the random investor is key.

I have to confess i never made a penny from currency dealing and was in fact considerably down.

Like any good Ponzi scheme/ pyramid scheme , some people will make money if they in and out quick enough. Don't be the last one out though cos they'll be worth NOTHING. People who think this has anything to do with regular currency trading clearly don't know what they're doing and will get burned.

If you want to invest in something you need to become a palladium elite baby!

Stash a few of these away and you have a nice little pension plan, the price stays stable long term, no tax and neither you nor your bank will blow the money

Play money or brit-whatever won't get the job done

Gonna start buying bitcoins monthly from May 1st... with a value of £333 ($500) as a single purchase.

Target value = $10000

I'll offer a prize of $100 (into your PS or FT account) as to what date my bitcoin collection will be worth the $10k.

Competition closes on April 30th.

I'll update this thread on a regular basis as and when I buy each block of coins.

Good luck!!
