Pretty much every bitcoin service is down & suffering a DDOS attack, aside from the silk road,
Now, I'm quivering in my boots because I'm an idiot, but... now is your chance to buy cheap. Panic monkeys are going to knock it all the way down to 100 dollars.
BUY CHEAP, it'll be hours before everything is back to normal, I'm shitting myself as I placed a big order at the height of the price, but who knows how high it'll spike after you fuckers buy it back up.

You should have asked how many children are raped by half-breed dolphins.
Questions would have had the same relevance.

So I guess you don't have an answer to that either?

welcome to the wonderful world of gambling.. I have no doubt that this is a combination of the ddos that some sites are experiencing, the profit takers moving and people losing their nerve. The rises over the last couple of weeks have been unsustainable really and I have seen profit takers stacking their btcs for the last few days
people pay good money for the adrenaline rush/fear you're experiencing atm. just remember to put sugar in your tea or you may go into shock if it keeps up.
your only options are to bail now and possibly help push it down further and then pick them up when they're cheaper or hang on. If you don't fancy jigging around with dumping them (tranferring to an exchange, paying exchange fees etc etc) then just sit tight and think of it as cerebral white water rafting.
I know, that possibly doesn't help but at least you can watch your toes quiver ;)

I'm shitting myself as I placed a big order at the height of the price
no shit, i bought in last friday 5btc @ approx 135. turned around and got 400 worth of gear that wouldnt ship till monday anyways. so i lost out on that gain the 400 bux woulda got me over the wknd. oh well..
then ystrday (tues) after returning to the deepnet, i had noticed avg price up about 100 bux. so i dove in at about 235 for 7.5 coins.
oh well fuhg it. i realized the potential to lose some amount, but i was gambling a lil bit. im sick of going to the bank to deposit either for myself or a close friend (who is less tech savy to do for himself) every week or 3. i front money on coins, fulfill his few requests, and get i "free" gear cause of the potential rise in price in a few weeks when he comes knocking again. at least that was my theory.
i didnt notice writing on the wall (cause i was busy getting hIGh), when i was getting coins at 30 to make a serious investment. so maybe i tried playing catch up a bit, i might get bit.

I was sitting at a coffee shop studying, with the intent to hit the bank and load some money online for a bitcoin purchase. I was suddenly seized by an uncontrollable urge to shit. I guess reason flew out the window, because rather than using the coffee shop toilet, I ran to the car and sped home. Now I definitely won't be able to get to a bank before closing time.
Panic'd.
-
i dont have enuff "invested" to make a significant change in my day to day life. so ima sit on em, and buy more gear as price increases. thus far in real moneys, i only lost about 500 from losses, so ill quit my bitching. potential is still wouldacouldashoulda@ a twentyspot!

Whatever happens today doesn't give us any idea what will happen tomorrow, which is the same situation that we were in yesterday, last week, ...
Price tomorrow at this time could be $20 or it could be $300 - anyone who tells you they can predict is fooling you and/or themselves.
We all need to get the bitcoins we need to purchase on SR, do our purchases, and not worry about what might have been if we didn't purchase. Any lag time in the various steps exposes us to some $/BTC exchange rate risk - think of it as trading the risks of street dealing with those of virtual currency dealing.
The scary thing is that since BTC is not connected to anything tangible, there are not the normal checks and balances you get with legacy currencies. We're all just along for the ride.1
