That's a pretty thin panic stack... in other words, based on how much is available at different prices, I'm guessing it will be back at 305 by Saturday night.

I could make that back in just one trade. How many times a month do you drop L$ at 2000/USD?

Yeah, but I think there are about 100 people on the mailing list.

One of the fundemental problems is the lack of buying in the last two days. The 6,692,582 Linden sold on Wednesday is easy to explain because of the closure of SL for 5 hours. The 6,840,463 Linden sold on Thursday is harder to explain except buyers may be waiting for an even better rate. The reduced buying has pushed the Linden to the present lows and if the increased buying seen on weekends includes any delayed buying then we could see 2 days of over 10 million sold and the Linden again trading at 305 to 1 as Keiki states above.

Sorry, i am not so hopefull this time:/
Becaue LL still havent explained properly how they will sell L$.
What if they put 20million L$ at 350 / usd and announce:
"Hey guys it is my turn, just be patient for a few days"?
I hate speculations , but this time, even speculations are better than realities.
Because i have a business at a world(SL) for the first time which is owned buy a few guys, who dont care if 100s of businessmen losing 100s of USDs everyday. Who dont care what their residents think.
I think we are used to live in democracies for long time. Now, no offense but we live in a dictatorship. And nobody can know what will happen tomorrow.

I don't think that LL would dare to do that. It is in their interest to have a stable currency. Such action would lead to a further fall of the exchange rate, which would scare a lot of the active users away from SL. This would be suicidal for the company!
We should have a little bit more faith in LL.

Easy a pound of gold. They carry equal gravitational weight but the gold brick carries more market weight than the plastic brick.


Right, but for the wrong reason

The brick of gold weighs more because it's weighed in troy ounces. The plastic is in standard ounces. A troy ounce weighs more than a standard ounce, so 16oz of gold is heavier than 16oz of plastic.

I don’t think it will drop to 305 this weekend at all, I know a lot of people who are a week or so away from their tier payments, with dwell going they are selling off land and cashing in as best they can. I think this will carry on for a few weeks, I expect to see 350/1 exchange rate in the next 4 weeks. I suspect there will be a slow recovery after all dwell has gone mid June and when the lindens give us details of their own selling lindens idea.

Don’t see what all the anger is about did you not realise this is a game? What I will especially enjoy is watching the hypocrite who asked everyone to boycott the land reservations (then reserved 50odd sims), devalue herself.

Perhaps its time for a "Economy Drama Queen" Forum.


Jamie, you're the winner!*

I hope the L$ becomes 500L = 1usd...I hope that people continue pushing it in that direction.

I believe it will be back down to 305 this weekend because all amounts are under 1 million and unless there is a big chunk over 1 million placed 305 or lower, then I would bet that it would be 305. This is a lot of panic selling. I was almost tempted to buy at 318, 319 or 320, but even if it went down to 300, it wouldn't be much profit and too much of a big risk indeed. Too bad that there is such a big charge by LL (3.5%).
