i was offline since the last dump, when i bought some at 2260 EURO and now that i am back i check we are only 45 euro up from that...
pretty boring.. why we not pass 3000 euros already? why those dumps?
Peak euphoria is the problem: reading this board makes you think it's only a matter of time until we reach 4000+ BTC's, while nearly no one seems to be taking into account that the market may be satiated already. BTC has bounced back twice now from about the same price level, and that is a strong signal after a two-and-a-half month long rally.
Although I haven't been following the latest ICOs someone claimed some of them are raising huge amounts. When the devs behind them dump the Bitcoins they collected it might suppress the price for a while.
Maybe some dev just dumped his ICO coins. If that's what happened the market will probably soon absorb the coins and the price will go back up afterwards.
stop saying "ICO" this was a poloniex creative spin on "IPO" because ipos require registration duhhh lol
To be honest, I would like even more volatility at this moment, with deeper downs and higher ups. It would allow the smarter newbies, as I am, to build up a bit of base capital and basic understanding. Also I think the big move will not so much be the ICO shitstorm(s) in a glass of water, but maybe the Icarus story happening in the FANG stocks... .

I fully follow R0ach and Torque in their view. And don 't forget that we will have to see how the new Asian Mom and Pop investors(gamblers) will react. Two years ago they were lured into buying stawks and had a very cold shower for that... . Now they stepped in BTC (at ATH) so I can see something coming from the far east... .

If the sort of dystopian, hyper-inflationary future that gold bugs predict actually happens, it seems likely to me that there will be jackbooted thugs kicking down their doors to take their gold. This has happened before, even in the US.
If they want to steal my bitcoins, they'd better be able to crack SHA-256.
Do you hear me make dystopian predictions?
And look, the confusion in BTC universe is also driven by greed... . It 's the nature of the beast, no matter the evironment.

"Jihan Wu, Bitmain CEO, already opined that he will hard fork regardless of whether UASF succeeds or fails. It is not guaranteed that a hard fork could happen without issues, but this is the best time from their perspective to attempt one. Should it succeed, Bitcoin will quickly erase all prior losses and surpass $3,000. "
So the market will be delighted that a handful of Chinese miners are in full control of Bitcoin?
That's a really fucking stupid supposition.
[/quote]
What if it is the intention to have a Chinese Bitcoin? Remember, the astronomic premiums Chinese and Koreans paid to get BTC when it was already ATH?

You're about 4 years late with that thought, it's already been done. I won't link it, just google image search "girl bitcoin tattoo" and you'll see the image. Although most believe it's photoshopped.
I am definitely late on this one, indeed. And that for someone who is known for always being far ahead... .
In my own domain only for sure... .
And that sideway thing, looking at it for a few weeks now, I would call it "Drunkways" it goes up, down but as it continues it 's more and more down.

Since this is the speculation thread, do you guys think we will get to 2600 again before august? Lost and made some money, still need a bit more to break even again.
Bro, I'll heartedly advice you not to play in such a volatile market as crypto is. Unless you're a full skilled trader from stock markets. BTC is king and will win the final battle against fiat. Soon things will be like that:
You are completely right, I'm definitely not a skilled trader yet, just been lurking for some time
I am just playing with around 2k, and I only buy in trends + when I see clear candle patterns and with the info from this website and telegram. So most of the time I only make "safe" (I know it is almost never safe") trades. But then I discovered leverage trades, made some good money, adrenaline was pumping, got overconfident (also the drinks did not help) went long just as it was turning (Still have no idea where my logic went).
I am aspiring to become a full skilled stock trader, BTC just happened to come on my path and with little money you could still easily make a couple of 100 bucks. Also the idea of using it as long term savings account looked great since in Holland I get less then 1% growth in a year... Also since the laws for bitcoins are still in a grey area you can do a lot of fun things with it (currently writing a coin buying and investing website with ideal support for a select amount of people). The API's in general are funt to work with as a programmer so it gives me some incentive to work.
As soon as I get that website up and running and have some more funds I'll start opening up a proper broker account and reading into where to start there...
This is getting a bit off topic but any suggestions on where I can start even with a low amount off funds. Probably best not to post it here.
TLDR;
Lost all my earnings and a chunk of my 2k due too leverage and intoxicated, slowly getting it back. Also do want to get into normal
better to buy as the price goes down and sell as the price goes up, but don't buy or sell too much in order that you do not run out of either bitcoins (on the way up) or fiat (on the way down).
So in that regard, if you only have bitcoins because you used all your fiat to buy at a price that is higher than the current price, then you just have to wait it out for however much time it takes to return to you purchase price level, even if it takes a year or two.
In the meantime, if BTC prices continue to go down, which surely is possible, just continue to buy $10 per week (or whatever reasonable amount is in your budget), and sooner or later, you continue to bring down your average cost per BTC and you will be back in the the game and be able to sell some of your bitcoins either below $2600 or above $2600 (but as long as you are selling as the price goes up and buying as the price goes down, you should be good), and whenever BTC returns to that $2600 level (whether this week or a few years from now), you will be fully back... and hopefully learned some lessons along the way...hahahahaha
^ This!
Lol, yeah also my tactics. But I am running into a strategic flaw now : not enough fiat to keep buying the dips... .

It still did not fall thru the 2200USD. And there is a broker here (Bitonic) who displays how much BTC they have in stock. And that is not more than average. For what it is worth of course.

Post 20170757 (copy this link) (by Ludwig Von) (scraped on 2020-04-04_Sat_15.14h):
The way I took advantage of this rally was like this:
I bought some gold and silver directly with bitcoin @ ~$2700, buying the PMs at a somewhat decent historical low, with bitcoin I paid ~$500 for. Not too shabby.
On the next rally you can do the exact same. Or take like 10-15% of your profits on each rally, so you don't feel like you missed out.
The thing is, you will never call the absolute top, and you will never call the absolute bottom. It's the same in the stock market.
That is exactly my plan too. But now I am puzzled whether it makes sense to sell some gold for BTC now, or at lowest. Not much interest in this kind of idea over here... .

This price action over the last few days has been really interesting. Although in hindsight, it follows the whale troll traders playbook if you knew (as apparently did they) that BIP91 was definitely going to lock in 100%.
That is to say, short and run down the market on FUD to the day before, then blast up the market on the good news of BIP91 lock in. Obviously the miners and the whale market makers either a) colluded or b) are ONE IN THE SAME.
And there are people out there that say that there is no insider trading collusion going on in the Bitcoin market?
Pfff!
It appears logic : miners control the source... .

The dude has enough money to push it over the ATH. Perhaps he's hoping for a short squeeze and has a lot of bitcoins to dump at a high price.
Or maybe he wanted to buy because of the BIP91 locked in, but had to wait till his money got added to his exchange account
He's out now. Pulled his walls.
You don't slowly push the price up if you're buying. Price is holding though.
He or they ran out of ammo... . Before the spark put fire to the barn... .

Good morning Bitcoinland.
Still bouncing up and down in the $2.6k-$2.9k range... currently $2790USD (Bitcoinaverage).
I guess we're kind of in limbo between BIP91 signalling going through and the actual crunch time on Aug, 1.
______
Only 2 more days before my cheque finally finishes being put on hold and I can make my first multiple coin purchase in months.
I really resent being forced to mostly miss out on the exceptional buying opportunity last week. Maybe I'll get lucky and we'll have one last panic dip before the end of the month.
For the same reason as you, I would prefer the dip around August 5, can we find some compromise?

I got interested in BTC 2012-2013. By some tech friends. Then came the Mt Gox disaster and that scared me so much, a few bad guys being capable of causing that kind of amok wow. So I went all into gold.
Early this year only I returned a bit into Bits. Now I would like to reduce gold and increase BTC.

Metals remove counter party risk and middle men
Only when it is sitting still, like deep in the ground. Or in your closet. Otherwise, no it doesn't.
More made up bullshit. You're not required to ever place metals into 3rd party custody. It's not possible to "take possesision" of bitcoin because the coins never leave the blockchain in the first place. You are always exposed to rent seeking middlemen (transaction validators) and counter party risk in bitcoin. This is why bitcoin is 100% useless as a settlement layer. Maybe you can use craptocurrency as a Paypal-style payment processor, aka a currency, but it's useless as a settlement layer aka money (the base of Exter's pyramid).
Here's an 1800 year old silver Roman denarius. Where will bitcoin be in 1800 years? It will be dead as a doornail long before then. It's useless as a settlemenet layer and unable to do things like reliably transfer generational wealth:
Of course, on a long enough timeline... . We will all be dead first... .
But I follow you in a certain way. Keep PM, BTC, Cash and tools as an asset.

Bad day to try new trading strategy
I'm just there looking at my 2653 long order, have absolutely no idea what to do with it °°
After margin call, take the remaining 40% and convert to physical silver immediately then wait for $10,000 gold revaluation and 15:1 silver peg ($600). The world's 2nd most criminal bank JP Morgan is acting as an agent of the US govt to naked short the paper market while taking delivery of physical.
Do not go longterm gold ROach (10-20 years), when the age of space mining starts gold and some other precious metals will be worthless.
I dont tell this to trash you, this is just a tip. You rather want to go longterm Bitcoin.
Space mining, lol, on what timeline do you see that happen?

Big money is just waiting the 'correct' time to enter Bitcoin.
Heard this one before. Heard it in 2014, after the market had peaked. In fact, there are tweets from mid 2014 where people like Barry Silbert were saying that exact same thing, that "big money" and "Wall Street" were right around the corner to come flooding in any minute.
They never did.
Are you sure? I think they are already in. The Asian mom and pop investors (gamblers) are not sufficient to explain this years raise. As always, the banksters come in via the backdoor, then pump up and then start selling to the public.

Bitcoin, like any so-called crypto currency, is the old like world scheme of Ponzi. Only in the new high-tech pack.
Want an example? You are welcome:
1. Assume that all people in the world convert half of their savings from ordinary national currencies to crypto-currencies. What does it mean? This means that the producers of crypto-currency, received half of the world's volume of national currencies - half of the total world currency bascet.
2. After a while, the fictitious value of investments in crypto-currencies increased 4-fold (as we see in the case of Bitcoin and the mass of other crypto-currencies). What does it mean? This means that now, every person in the world, reasonably expects to receive in exchange for his crypto currency (as a return on his genius) in 4 times more volume of the national currency.
3. Let's assume that all these people, at the same time, decide to fixed their investment profit-to exchange their crypto-currencies that went up four times, (if they take profit in the form ordinary national currencies).
All of them expect to receive now 4 times more national currency than they used to, they spent on buying crypto-currencies.
QUESTION: Where does this whole currency come from? From producers or producers of crypto-currency? But they simply do not have such volumes of ordinary currency, and never were. Because, previously selling the Crypto currency, in exchange for the usual currency, the organizers and the receivers only received the initial value of the crypto currency in the usual currency. Which was at the time of the transaction only - 1/4 of the amount of currency, which is now payable to all owners of the crypto currency.
CONCLUSION: Bitcoin, like any so-called crypto currency, is the old world scheme of Ponzi. Where each participant can receive a gain of the investments only one way - due to those new participants who have entered this pyramid later.
Wow, my mind is blown! Such genius !
Now replace the word crypto with stock market and try to figure out where you went wrong...
And in anyway, fiat is reproducable without limit, so the inflow into crypto can go eternally... .

Based on what are Guy's voting price to go under 2000$ only one direction after this event UP UP UP
I have to say I am surprised about the price action. Segwit lock-in rally?
Don't think that's even started yet, this fork was just an altcoin drop, and we're waiting to see how the new altcoin works out. BTC unruffled , interesting article on zerohedge as well, one of the Bitcoin analysts Spencer Bogart has changed his view on ETF approval to 75% chance in the next 18months, this follows the options approval that was granted last week. Sees inflow after any ETF approval of $300mm over the first few weeks.

Well, so much for hoping to wake up to $3,500 USD/BTC.
Going to be just another boring Tuesday by the looks of it.
Well resistance at about $3500 was widely expected. I sold a couple of coins about there and waiting for some significant retracement to buy back.
Pitty that 3500 USD is not just 3000 €, I was waiting for that to sell a bit... . ( stranded at 2983)

It's becoming increasingly tempting for me to just cash in my pitiful 2 BTC and be done.
Pls PLEASE, if I could give one piece of advice. Don't do that. Don't be poor in the future. I don't want you to be poor.
I keep seeing things like this all over the web. The less bitcoin one possesses seems to correlate with a higher desire to "cash out" at some point soon. The attitude being "Well if it's not going to make me rich in 5 or 10 years, then what's the point of holding on to it. Might as well buy something nice with it."
Holding on to bitcoin is like having exponential compound interest. You won't realize it until it really starts to kick in. It's like winning the lotto buy in slow motion (but faster than conventional investments).
Twenty years from now, someone owning 0.5btc or even 0.2btc will be held in complete awe.
I should have sold more of my gold stash... . And have relieved me from the MT Gox trauma... . That said, I sell small qty's only to buy back more in the dips ( that are rather rare now... .)

Anyhow, once folks really get some concrete ideas about bitcoin's divisibility and the understanding that you can buy 1/1hundred millionth of a BTC, and maybe there is some more wider practices of pricing in lower level (smaller) units, then it is likely going to take some time to get people to understand some of these unit confusion matters.
We only need to go up 250x to reach parity, 1 satoshi = 1 cent. Then things get extremely interesting.
Up 250x??? I'm bullish but not that bullish.
Wow.
Of course, when the free FED/ECB/BOJ money flows in BTC via the banksters and other Wallstreet gangsters that will happen. Only, by that time a beer will cost 500000 USD/€

https://mises.org/blog/why-cryptocurrencies-will-never-be-safe-havensSo, a goldbug on a pro-PM website writes a blog about why Bitcoin will never be a safe haven asset like PMs.
Wait scratch that, he never implied that Bitcoin won't. He said "Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies" won't.
Wait scratch that, not only did he use the term cryptocurrencies plurally and as a whole, he included ICO tokens as further justification.
So let much just set the record straight for these ignorant and misinformed people:
No you're correct, "cryptocurrencies" LIKE Bitcoin (altcoins, etc.) or ICO tokens as a whole will NEVER be safe haven assets.
But
Bitcoin specifically WILL be.

I like gold and silver for different reasons (as insurance). But some of these goldbugs are either being disingenious or just plain stupid in their arguments against Bitcoin.
If one could create an unlimited number of different kinds of fools gold with similar properties, would that diminish belief in true Gold as money or wealth storage value? Would that cause Gold's price to automatically drop?
No I think not. Not for people who truly believe in Gold vs. those that believe in all of the alt-gold substitutes.
It's the same for Bitcoin. Just because an infinite number of altcoins can be created does not defacto diminish Bitcoin's value to the true believers. Otherwise every single time an alt was created, Bitcoin's price would automatically drop a corresponding amount. Which it never does.
Same for moissanite vs. diamond. Even though moissanite can be created in a lab and has superior spectacular brilliance/clarity vs. most diamond, there are still who value diamond more and will likely always do so and pay more for it.
Exactly. These guys think that all cryptos are only representing fiat in aggregated.

A question for the specialists here:
So some entities are liquidating large quantities of BTC to pump up BitcrashCoin, but the price of BTC remains quasi unaffected.
That maybe means there is a substantial inflow of fiat ?
And if these same entities are really planning to, at a certain point, cash their Bitcrash coins out, then what will happen with all
the others who bought that thing?

Indeed pretty impressive. Did not expect that to happen to be honest. I really thought we would stay around 3700-3800, low volume sideways and then a second dump to 3400 -3500 at least.

I'm beginning to wonder if the masses will every start buying, or if Bitcoin will only remain a niche investment. What would it take to see something like a line of people out the door in front machines like that one? Perhaps one day hyperinflation will kick in, or a total fiat collapse. Maybe then that will wake them up.
The vast majority of people either have never heard of Bitcoin or are barely aware of its existence. Most of those who know about it don't really understand it.
Ignorance breeds fear and apprehension. It certainly doesn't lead to people putting in their hard-earned money. This is why public adoption is so low and why we're still basically in the early adopter phase.
As public awareness and education grows. so will adoption. The s-curve of adoption is still a
long way from going vertical. When that happens, we'll see the 6-digit prices many speculate about.
I don 't think the quarreling and chaos in the bitcoin sphere is very helpful for mass adoption.

I couldn't even think of how much money that meant I had...just that I was fucking rich. Then I woke up

I think this is canary in the coal mine action. Big players closing shorts, the club trying to keep Gold down below 1300, but each drive by less and less effective. If Gold breaks 1300 and Silver breaks 20, we could see the start of something...
I also noticed that even when the Silver paper market was smashed down all the way to $14.50 not long ago, the physical Silver market never adjusted lower than $16.90. Very telling.

I wish. I had to pay an exorbitant 6.8% buy fee but at least I seem to have caught the bottom (for now). Just a few hundred bucks worth but everything helps.
If it goes back down below $4.45k I'll do it again.
Jimbo:
Do you keep track of your average cost per BTC? Since you buy and never sell your average cost per BTC must be going up and up and up? I understand that you started buying in the double digits (or at least I recall that), and I think that you responded to this kind of question from me previously, so sorry about the redundancy.
I do believe that your system does go to show (even with various fees) that you can come out much ahead, even by employing a BTC hodl and accumulation strategy without selling (except maybe selling when it comes time that you really feel that you need to cash out of some of those babies)
Recall that I started buying at $1200 in late 2013, and after about two years of buying at lower prices, my average price per BTC dropped to a bit more than $500. It could have been much lower, except I had blown a larger portion of my wadd at buying in the $600 and $400 price territories while experiencing some quasi-unexpected cash flow issues in 2015...
Thereafter, starting in late 2015 I engaged in trading that employed a good system of buying back with money that I had gained in selling, and largely brought my BTC stash up while bringing my average cost per BTC down to below $400 by early 2017.
There seems to be some advantages to limiting your interactions and using paper storage because my keeping some coins on exchanges has resulted in various losses through hacker sophistication to get into my personal credentials and also through exchange vulnerabilities, so sometimes these kinds of exchange related losses and interacting by sending BTC around can end up taking away some BTC profits to lower the total amount of bitcoins held and/or raise the average cost per BTC.
I think that the punchline for me, is that my total number of BTC is lower than it had been in late 2015 because of losses - but my average cost per BTC is less (at least in the $400-ish territory), but mostly due to BTC price appreciation of selling higher and buying lower - even though I am buying back at much higher prices than my average, my average price per BTC keeps going down because I am selling at prices higher than I buy.

I am doing the same as you, or at least trying to... . The way to account is simply keeping track of total, in my case, € invested at any time, versus market value of the stash. To be forced to have a certain amount in an exchange for the trading is the most vulnerable part indeed.

Currently offering MASSIVE boost in hash, will get around 1 btc/month at the moment
What's your monthly power consumption?
I only have the one ethereum mining rig (5x 480)
about 650 Kwh
I'll admit that I'm currently completely ignorant about crypto mining. But I will be building a house next year, and intend to set up a 10kw solar array on the roof (with enough expansion for another 5kw) with battery storage. Yeah, my roof will be that big. So by my back-of-a-napkin calculation, with the 10kw I will have some yearly excess power, and with 15kw I'd definitely have surplus. Was thinking that setting up a crypto miner would be a no-brainer.
I am, as a DC electric engineer, designing an installation where the miner and cooling are directly powered in DC from a solar rig. With back up from grid or gen. Should be about 25% more efficient, so feasable in our expensive energy environment. Surplus heat is recuperated for domestic use.

The whole financial establishment and MSM is falling over each other in declaring Bitcoin a bubble. Even our local national radio talks about the Chinese ban...
And this (quote of Bill Blain on Zerohedge)
"Meanwhile… I’ve been asked a number of times to comment on cryptocurrencies.
I try not to – on the basis I don’t really understand the underlying logic. But a blog I read this morning struck a chord. I can’t grasp why they have taken off - except to make things like Silk Road the modern equivalent of smuggling as it hides transactions from financial scrutiny raising questions of illegality and tax. That is legally and morally wrong. Their valuations are bubbletastic, and there are now over 1200 of the things looking ripe for legislative sideswipes.
Neither can I figure how Bitcoin can possibly work – apparently the Blockchain underlying it can only handle 6 transactions per second, unlike your average credit card which can handle hundreds of thousands of simultaneous deals. In other words, you could never run a global economy off it! More to the point, I’m not quite sure why we need it when we have well established offshore currency markets and accepted “stores-of-value” like the gold brick.
And then there is the story Jamie Dimon of JP Morgan will sack any of his bankers who own them. (Hah.. we’ve heard them bragging in the pub about how much they’ve made from holding Bitcoin.)
Step back and the kinds of gains Crypto-currencies have made scream “bubble”! – fuelled by the sillies now pilling into them looking for big bucks, lured in by unverifiable stories about the riches to be made.
When a London taxi driver tells you he’s long Bitcoin… Sell! And all the folk who say they look like a Ponzi scheme – they might well be right.
But, for all their faults, the dodgy trading arenas, and the desperation of buyers, the bottom line is Bitcoin and others have made money for early investors. Why? It’s gone through successive waves of enticing reasonings: first it was the smart technological solution to a perceived crisis of confidence in currencies, before morphing into the “insider” financial trade, and now it’s a sure fire route for “Lovely Linda from Liverpool” to turn her £20k retail wages into million.
There will be tears.
Maybe Bitcoin was a well intentioned attempt to practically demonstrate the monetary theories of the Japanese bloke who is said to have invented the concept.. but today? They are a scam designed to tap the spigot of idiocy. Caveat Emptor.
Like I say.. I don’t really understand cryptocurrencies..
In a world where the biggest real definable threat may be cyber attacks on banking systems, perhaps they might be a secure store of value. But I also suspect the first place cyber crims will ransack accounts will be the cryptocurrencies themselves.
I really don’t like this digital world.."

If only the Average Joes of the world would realize the truth about the inflation they experienced in the past, as well as the heightened level of inflation they will begin to experience in the coming decade, they'd do well to put savings into bitcoin just for that very reason: just to hedge against inflation and protect their purchasing power. The price rising > 5% per year should just be a bonus.
It shouldn't be about "making a quick buck."
But alas, they are too caught up in buying things and making debt payments to be concerned about savings. Just like the govt and the banks want them to be. Forever in debt and on the hamster wheel.
Question is of course if they will allow us to hedge against their wrongdoings. Imagine what will happen when their bubbles, stawks, real estate, bonds and not to forget, debt, pop all together at the same time... .

But when people talk about money, brains hasten out of the back door into the woods, never to be seen again in the conversation, and everything that is considered a given and completely normal in real life, is suddenly turned upside down.
I think, in a well articulated nutshell, you have just encapsulated Cryddits concerns.
I know this is a speculation thread and everything, but who amongst us, that aren't just here for the quick buck and who actually 'believe', hasn't had concerns over how something as pure as bitcoin could be commandeered by influences something less than benevolent ?
I am not that worried. The fact that Bitcoin is open source and can be cloned is not a liability but an asset. So if Bitcoin fails - in the end - there will be others.
Lotsa lotsa others. A different take on the mantra
unstoppable.
I tend to see the role of bitcoin in the future as a reference value, not so much a transaction currency or something that will completely displace fiat currency.
The simple essence is the following:
*we know the current financial system is untenable
*we know the enormous debts will never be paid
*we know the debt must increase to avoid collapse
*we know 'infinite debt' does not exist
Bitcoin just has to represent an alternative. That will be enough to succeed.
From a technical perspective, I am much more interested in smart contracts and decentralised 'computer networks' (like Ethereum and EOS). That is what businesses are looking at.
So basically, bitcoin is the gold(light) that will serve as the reference, backing, of the future transactional means, currency, contracts etc?

Thanks torque
Ok so basically I don't know anything about ledgerX but I'm guessing this is a good way for certain people to invest in bitcoin without buying coins so to speak.
How big is this news and why isn't anyone excited yet then?
It allows high net worth hedge fund investors and individual investors gain exposure to bitcoin through fully collateralized credit default swaps. This is potentially huge because there are CFTC rules in place that prevent such fund entities from doing this on their own directly. LedgerX has been granted permission to be the clearing house.
I guess no one is excited yet because they haven't seen the impact of what this could do for the market and price. Esp since onboarding isn't until Oct now.

There is way way more money in precious metals than bitcoin so why aren't they banning it?
BUT.......bitcoin they are worried. What's that tell you?

Just have to say, I really enjoy seeing posts from JayJuanGee and also Torque - thank you both for continuing to post. Now, with that out of the way:
What say any of you to the following?
Efforts by any country's central bank or government to regulate bitcoin (ie make illegal or legalizing) will accelerate that country's demise of fiat value. These costs of such attempts and many other costs are absorbed by monetary inflation - making fiat even more worthless over time. Fiat system has been broken for decades. Bitcoin however had reached escape velocity globally 4-years ago in 2013 thus will continue to rise & be adopted as it is the only escape from financial slavery and an opt-out of war-making, slave-labor producing central bank regimes.
Fiat around the world is heavily infested and broken from the burdens of:
-regulatory burden on fiat banks & system (incredibly costly)
-insurance fraud
-unemployment & other welfare costs
-inflating fiat to keep stock market rising and to keep house-prices from collapsing
-frivolous legal costs (lawsuits bogging the system down)
-financing conflicts, bombs, and "aid"
-keeping monopolies with internet access centralized and search engine crawlers centralized
-money laundering
-false claims (outside of insurance)
-chargebacks
-state-sponsored corruption and unofficial corruption (governments and gangs, banks and conartists)
-retirement obligations (debasement in value to keep up with payments from government or other retirement-obligations)
-fake credit (goods being transacted with credit-loss, replaced by inflation of monetary base rather than bringing perpetrators & source to justice)
Bitcoin, systemically, is free from these burdens.
This is what happens when corruption goes awkward and it doesn 't matter what ideology, has nothing to do with it... . So just wait and see for the first of the "Other" systems country 's going all the way... .

http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-09-24/insiders-view-bitcoinization-venezuelaI would add that citizens of all countries tend to be completely, 100% reactive to what is happening to them, as opposed to being proactive. They wait until things get really bad before outright defying their government and looking for other options. That is why right now Bitcoin is suddenly being seen as a more serious option to their native fiat in places like Venezuela, Greece, Italy, and Spain. In other countries, it's still being regarded as a strange novelty.
The oil EROI has turned a corner and is on a very serious and possibly rapid decline. But just because the oil barons and central banking oligarchs of the world can push their socialized losses to the countries with the least productive GDP output first, doesn't mean that countries like the U.S., U.K, China, Japan, and Germany are forever impervious. First deflation will kick in (what we are experiencing now), then rising inflation (next 10-15 years), then hyperinflation will finally kick in. This won't get fixed until all the world's major economies all default together, and then a global reset will happen. At that point, deflationary assets will reset much higher in relative fiat value terms. Hopefully at that point, the Fed and central banking will collapse altogether.
I for one see where the puck is heading, which is why I chose to get involved with Bitcoin four years ago to protect my wealth, instead of waiting until it gets really bad in my country. Which could still be a decade or two away.
Well, the native fiat from Italy, Spain and Greece happens to be the same as for Germany... . So we have inflation (lower real income for the working people) and deflation (lower cost of capital thanks to free funny money from the central banks) all at the same time. It is so bizarre there even is no term for, stagflation is not adequate. Debtflation might be closest... .

After all these years, I just learned that. HODL, never sell. The only action allowed is accumulate (preferably when price is weak).
But I will become more active again when my
TenX card arrives. I am going to add my small contribution to the growing pool of people that actually spend cryptocurrencies in day-to-day life. Holding in crypto, spending as fiat, seamlessly.
Well, maybe we can clarify that the most basic strategy is HODL BTC. However, in order to get to the point of HODL, you have to BUYDL and ACCUMULATL.
The next more sophisticated strategy is to immediately (or near immediately) BUYDL back any coins that you SODL.
A more complicated strategy is to SODL small amounts of BTC as the prices go up, so in essence, you are never really selling your principle, but only the accumulation in value (and profits), and when the price dips (which it inevitably will in this ongoing volatile market), use a portion of those profits to BUYDL back, so you are offsetting some of the downside volatility and accumulating more coins.
One of the difficulties with attempting to follow more sophisitcated strategies is that guys get greedy and they sell too much or they start to think that they are smart and they can short in order to accumulate more BTC... DUMB!!!!!! and DANGEROUS!!!!!
So, I guess my point is to stick to BUYDL, ACCUMULATL, and HODL, until you really get used to those basics before you attempt to proceed to the more advanced strategies - and probably, it would be safe to completely abstain from shorting or other gambling type strategies, at least until you have really solidified your approach and your understanding of basic concepts of BUYDL and HODL.
The "Sophisticated" or "Complicated" strategies are, as you rightfully promote, are the best for whoever has only a modest capital available. Only, it is a damned hard thing to master with BTC. (I am not going to compare to some experiences with the female homo sapiens sapiens).
As for the TA part, I hope we will escape the "Hokusai" cliff that the WS casino players are surfing now right on the top of it.

When you consider in terms of incrementalism, you try NOT to get too excited about whether your buy orders get left behind... so yeah, sure it is nice that your incremental sell orders are getting filled.. so you have to set them low enough that you don't really care whether the complimentary buy orders are filled as well... accordingly, you should set your sell orders so freaking low that even if we never go below 3650 € ever ever again, you don't give a ratt's ass.. and you are fairly emotionally neutral about the situation (at least mostly neutral.

About the referendum it is indeed ilegal, as anyone that knows spanish law and constitution do inmediately realize. It was the Judges and not the government who sent the police to seize the ballot boxes.
Illegal or not, you shouldn't beat your own people for: a) Peacefully protesting. b) Voting.
I do completely agree. AFAIK noone was beaten for that (trying to vote or peacefully protesting). Police had strict orders from Judge to seize ballot boxes, the only people that were beaten were actively hindering (not sure if that is the right english word) the police job. In fact, in most the places they were not able to comply orders because it would have mean a major confrontation and put people (and police units themselves) in higher danger. It was an extremely complex operative, probably the most complex this country has ever coped with.
I do also recognize this incident have had a very bad impact in international media. It would have been way better to have intervened way sooner and just arrest the promoters of the rebelion without exposing any law-abiding citizens to any innecesary risk.
What possible motivation could there be for removing someones freedom of expression by using law?
It is acceptable that a government may take a different view to a sub set of it's people, but it is not acceptable that a government denies those people from expressing themselves in a peaceful way,
It is a common misunderstanding that freedom of expression is an unlimited freedom. It isn't. You can't publish clearly racist manifests, etc...
But this is not a matter of free speech. It is a matter of breaking the law.
Expressing anything (not ilegal) in a peaceful way is ok.
Who has said/or done anything against that?
Lol, the only thing they expressed in a peaceful way is their desire to separate from Spain. Which was promptly declared illegal and hence the following violence. Also, I do not think they expressed or published racist manifests... .

YOu are right, they didn't (mostly) it was just an example that even freedom of expression has limits but, as I said, this is not a matter of freedom of expression.
The "violence" you are referring to was the outcome of police following an order from the Judges to seize the ballot boxes of an illegal "referendum". No videos I have seen show the people peacefully cooperating with law enforment on their task, on the contrary you can clearly see people actively obstructing the judicial mandate.
Anyone has the right to express their desire to separate from Spain or anything else that is not clearly ilegal (as blatant racism as an example) but NOONE has the right to be above the law and obstruct law enforcement in a task that has been ordered by the Judges. I don't think that is allowed anywhere in the world.
That said... I would have put all this shitshow to an end way sooner going directly for the promoters of the rebellion. It is sad and very unfortunate things let go up to this point.
So far there are no promotors of rebellion. Only promotors of independency. The Spanish government has made a terrible mistake by obstructing the referendum. They should have supported it and have promoted the no voters. Which now in a strange way, stayed home. Probably because they were afraid of potential violence induced by their government.

How do you guys know these trezors and ledgers aren't getting intercepted in the mail and their guts stuffed with something else?
I believe that the latest TREZOR devices are shipped empty (without f/w). You then go to SatoshiLabs's site and download it yourself. When you install it, a special "fingerprint" (a long alphanumeric string) appears on the computer's screen, which you must compare with the one that appears on TREZOR's screen. If they match, the f/w is not tampered with.
OK, I will admit that is getting pretty tricky, maybe I only need to plan for 20 ninjas

don't forget, the bottom of the big channel is $3600 still
Don't hold your breath waiting for that price...
Oh, I'm not Jay. The macro trend is still parabolic, even in log scale, so the real channel may well already be steeper than that. Also, it is already quite steep and there is absolutely no guarantee that we will retest it's bottom any time soon so, of course, the longer that takes the higher it will be.
With all the forking idiocy and whatnot though, it is still a line to keep in the back of your mind.
Fair enough. I agree that it is good not to rely too much on technical analysis, either.. but surely we have upside and downside possibilities and probabilities, and surely if price starts going down and breaking through support, then lower levels of correction become more and more possible and probable. Currently I reset my plans a little bit to always have orders preset for a 50% correction - however, the last time when prices corrected down to $2970 (which was a 40% correction), I was scrambling a bit to figure out my orders if prices were to drop further - i had an outline of a plan to be able to buy down to $1k - but I had a bit of cashflow issues regarding how quickly we had gotten to the 40% correction level and I would have felt a bit better to have such buy order preparations down to 50% in order that I would not have had to scramble as much at that time. so now I have fixed that issue.. even though it seems that we should be going up first before experiencing another 30% or more correction.. sure a 10% or 15% correction.. and sure, I am not going to completely rule out 40%, even now, but we gotta be prepared for up, too... maybe into the $6800 to $7800 arena...? (INCOMING!!!)... so I agree with you that if we only think about UP, then we are likely to get fucked, too... or at least miss out on some ability to take advantage of ongoing volatility that is even of the against the trend type.
I have it only difficult with the upside in planning (sell orders) and executing the strategy (well actually, the tactics of it).

Last few days BTC was oversold. The depth of the markets shows that the demand is rapidly increasing. Moreover at least 1/3 of the miners switched to BCH which is more profitable by 50%. I expected the price would hold during the weekend and probably go up in the next few days. Who knows, may be another ATH is coming?
Since Ver/Wu/Wright own 97% of BCH mining, they can do the following:
1. Mine BCH, wash trade, and accumulate BCH on the down low
2. Switch mining hashrate from BTC to BCH
3. Pump BCH, lock up mining blocks, trade BCH for BTC into the pump
4. Switch hashrate back to BTC, pump BTC
5. Sell traded BTC into the pump, or just hold on to it (making them wealthier).
6. Profit
I contend that BCH is still just a money making scam to them. Sad that anyone would fall for that garbage. They don't want BCH, they want your Bitcoin. You'll see all that here soon, when you see BCH drop and BTC start to rise again.
And don't think for a second that their little operation isn't being "subsidized" by outside elements.

Perhaps the train is stationary and it is the entire station that is coming or going #relativity
Relatively speaking we are travelling through space so incredibly fast the difference is negligible but even if we accept the stationary nature of any point in the picture, since the train seems to be going in either direction, it is averaging a velocity of zero relative to the platform.

Surely gold or any other traditional investments didn't have the ROI of BTC but...... maybe it contributed to the ROI of your Bitcoin stash.... How? Well, once you already have extracted/diversified enough into other assets (like gold) that you feel financially safe you can let your BTC roll without that much care than if you didn't.
My point is stable (bad performing) assets are another piece in the puzzle of financial safety. Or at least that's what I tend to think, but I like to hear more opinions about it.
Huh ? Wha ? The only way I'm going to get any "contribution" to my financials from liquidating my GLD holdings, will be a deduction to offset capital gains.
If an asset performs as badly as GLD has, for as long as it has, my strategy is to put it into something more aggressive. I'll be liquidating my GLD holdings this year, and reinvesting.
Any investment not likely to pull in greater than 8% a year bores me.
I've tried to be "responsible" by holding GLD for as long as I have on principle, but, fuck it. Life is too short.
Yes, but still... . I kicked half of GLD in May and I am happy that now I do not have to worry about the return of GLD.

Bitcoin is trying to compete with assets like Gold. You can't "fork" Gold or redefine what Gold is and that has value. Bitcoin's resistance to re-definition, likewise has value. Some people are trying hard to damage this resistance in order to say "see? Bitcoin is crap, it can be forked, it can be inflated through forks, uncertainty can be introduced on what fork will be the "right" one, etc etc... gold doesn't have all this bullshit, I'll stick with gold / stocks / fiat".
This is why all the forkers are cancer. They are undermining bitcoin, or are actively trying to control it, under any narrative like "bigger blocks". Even when they had their "big blocks" with BCH and the 8mb fork, now they are trying to take BTC to 8mb as well with S2X. Why don't they simply stick to BCH? It's simple: Because it was never about big blocks, it was about CONTROL.
I would even go so far to say that for some of the bad actors involved, it's not even about control. If they are secretly being state-sponsored, then it's about bringing down Bitcoin entirely. Or at least dividing it, diluting it, and undermining it so much that it gets completely marginalized in the public eye, forever seen as a chaotic niche geek thing and not seen as the serious financial game changer that it is.
It's almost like their game plan is "Well if we can't centralize control of Bitcoin, then we'll continue to try and undermine it."

Honestly, some of you guys talking about forks having immediate value are just not getting it.
Let's say that the entirety of Facebook's code base was completely open source, and anyone could fork it at any time and create an FB 2.0 with a click of the mouse. So someone does it, claiming that can make it faster, better, whatever. Let's even say that any holders of the original Facebook stock would get an equal stock 'dividend' of like 10:1 for the new site.
That does not auto-magically give this new FB 2.0 any value at all. Period. There is a whole entire ecosystem that goes along with the original Facebook, including the founders, devs, employees, investors, stock holders, stock exchanges, supporting sites, corporate sites, merchants, marketers, ad agencies, etc. etc. The list goes on and on. This ecosystem was built up over a decade or more. Not to mention all the 2 billion users of "the ONE TRUE Facebook" that are not at all inclined to switch to FB 2.0. The are happy and content with continuing to use the original.
Good analogy. Basically what we have here is the all too human flaw : if I can 't have the toy, I will destroy it. For children we accept such behaviour, it is their learning process. From adults, it is pscychotic- pathologic. Like Napoleon, Hitler and so many others... . And utterly destructive for the others, befor they finally destroy themselves.
There may or may not be problems in the BTC eco-system that need to be adressed, just like in any system. But trying to enforce a change that pretends to be solution to a problem as a smokescreen for a powergrab inevitably brings trouble to all participants in the system.
How to handle? Probably negating is the best option. If they see that there is no fear, they might back off. (wait for a better opportunity).

The x2 chain, in a darwinist/capitalist context, is more likely to survive than the x1 chain.
The highlighted aspect says to me - fear of being poor. That's why they won't disrupt how Bitcoin is operating and that informs all behaviour in this space.
It appears to me that there might be some confusion between "Darwinist/capitalist" context and "Psychopatic destructive/suicidal greed" context.

this is a pr disaster. some kids on reddit heard BCH is the real BTC and lost all their cash coins in a Bitcoin address.
Do any exchanges have a heart? It should be indeed possible for them to recover coins lost that way. I guess it is a big hassle since it compromises private keys. However, exchanges have compromised their private keys in many more ways for years, and the community has had to live with the consequences.

What is the use of a decentralized bitcoin if nobody uses it because it is too expensive?
wat the derp
I mean the fees per transaction. I expressed wrong.
The concern about high fees is real. And that this is important for countries with unstable currencies, corrupt banksters and governments is no longer an exclusivity of developing countries.
The divide between rich and poor now is fully global.
And BTC is a way to circumvent these issues also globally. Whether BTC must be the means of exchange directly or via a gateway and how either or and should be implemented is subjected to
a general consensus of all stakeholders. Not just part of them. As always this takes time, more than everyone wishes.
The big shots that are telling that they are adressing these problems by splitting up the system are just spraying mist and delusion over their all to real intentions : grab the power. Even if they
will only be in charge of ruins and devastation, they will prefer that over just beeing a participant in a healthy ecosystem.

Exploiting a generally known problem in a system to promote another system is by no means trying to improve the original. But is simply marketing the

I agree. This was and is no ordinary FUD. Bitcoin overnight losing 60% of its hashrate (security!) to an altcoin is a serious warning. Yes it returned but it touches the very foundation of Bitcoin.
The foundation of Bitcoin is selfishness and greed. If miners find a better way to fulfil that then they're going for it.
A BTC that depends on the good will or long term vision of miners has failed.
Agreed. "Profitable" means that someone (users, investors, traders, etc.) has to constantly be buying those coins steady off exchanges, each and every day for years, in order for the miners to make ROI and pay their bills. The BCH camp just sort of trivialized that part like it didn't matter, lol.
Miners are not going to just mine something indefinitely because some hashrate chart says that in a 12 hour window period it was "profitable" to do so. It takes a LOT more than that.
IMO longterm we will see a PoW change or even a switch to PoS.
Probably we saw the exact proportion of mining power in China. And greed is a universal human trait, but I can assure you that the new Sino-capitalists have cultivated it to a level even Wall Street would faint for. Which often leeds to the failure of to narrow sighted plans. In this case, I don 't think they will give up so easily. (Also something very Chinese).

The BCH crew were very stupid to attempt to kill BTC while it's been on a pretty much unbroken months-long bull run, even more so with all the institutional talk swirling around.
Actually in light of all the institutional talk lately, their attack is starting to make more sense to me now. They knew that they had one final last ditch effort to win over some 'hearts and minds' to a BCH or 2X version of Bitcoin, before the CME group started firing up on 12/14 and trading Bitcoin
TM futures next year.
I don't think it worked, it looks like a massive fail to me. They have lost a lot of believers to their scam. And next year if Bitcoin
TM's price continues to climb, winning over even more new people and more institutional investors, then it will remain more profitable to mine.
Yeps. WuVer want to be in the good fellas club of Wallstreet and ROW subsidiaries. By hijacking BTC. Like all the new parvenues they desperately try to get in. But this club does not allow failure and has no mercy even for the club members, less so for would be 's. But yet, I also think they will not give up that fast.

Nobody is for censorship, but if you think you can have "discussion" with jbreher you are welcome to try it yourself. He just spams nonsense based on pulling what is being said out of context. That's reflected in his style of writing where he randomly quotes dozen of posts, and then using that to avoid any reasonable argument. If that kind of "discussion" is forced elsewhere it is not a loss, it's a gain IMHO.
+1 for moderators.
You can be your own moderator using the ignore button.
For the same purpose I use as example a Picasso's painting. It's just some dry paint on a board, total value $30, but it's worth millions. I like it because beside its price the number of picassos's painting is limited exactly like bitcoins, and the total capitalizations are alike.
I can make a digital copy of the Picasso painting and call it Picasso Cash. I even print the piece on an 8 times larger piece of canvas. This certainly reduces the value of the legacy Picasso painting to zero and makes me the true Picasso.
Mostly falsifications only push the value of the original upwards. In a few rare known cases, they are estimated on their technical perfection, with an intrinsic value of their own.

That seasteading thing will be an interesting experiment about micro self-ruling.
If people really intends it to live there (instead of just as an excuse for avoiding/reducing taxes elsewhere) it will probably show that most of the problems/fight will come from disagreements on local governance between its members than from any external entity.
I think just about any government system will work with a small amount of people that are there voluntarily and know what they're getting into. The key being the ease of leaving if you don't like it.
It certainly won't. Communism doesn't work, for example.
It works if everyone agrees to it.
Communes for example. Early Christianity was communist.
Everyone doesn't. That's why it can never work.
But communes exist today. Are you going to go tell them that they don't work?
Yes! Did I stutter or something?
It has to work on a national scale, or it doesn't ultimately matter. Except insofar as a loner in a hut on the top of a remote mountain matters.

I usually look at bitstamp and coinmarketcap for my USD prices.
Does anyone know why they are always about 200 USD apart since a few days?
At the moment: Bitstamp: 9600, Coinmarketcap: 9770
Bitstamp is an individual exchange. It is sometimes referred to as Bearstamp because its prices are often lower than other exchanges. The prices at different exchanges vary greatly due to location, features and other considerations.
Coinmarketcap is a price indexing service like Bitcoinaverage, Preev, or the Coindesk BPI. These indexing services use averages from multiple exchanges, weighted by volumes.
I only use Coinmarketcap for altcoins because I find that Bitcoinaverage gives a truer indication of global prices, as it averages more exchanges and excludes volumes from zero-fee exchanges. Bitcoinaverage is also the base price used by the majority of BTC ATMs here in Toronto, so to me it's most representative of real-world prices.
And Kraken is even more lagging, mostly around 100 € lower than (Bear)Stamp... .

amazing you said that... I've been having 100% of my paycheck taken out in taxes since september in order to cover capital gains taxes this year
Hot tip: consider making an in-kind donation of BTC to your favorite charity.
In-kind donations give you the usual deduction, but
also don't count as a capital gain (b/c you never sold or traded it - just gave it away).
This means if you have, say, 10BTC you want to liquidate, you can sell 5BTC and donate 5BTC, and the deductions from the donated part will cancel out the tax burden of the sold part.
(Of course it's a
little more complicated than that due to the IRS's reporting requirements for in-kind donations of weird stuff. IANACPA, talk to yours, etc.)
pro tip: don't forget to create your own charity where you can donate to!

OMG. Apparently every time you move a BTC off Coinbase to your wallet, that counts as a sell event.
God Fucking Damnit !
right?
these dinosaur nation states are so far behind the technology it really is laughable, just keep it in crypto and wait them out, this empire is near it's sell by date
Just move to Amsterdam. No taxes on gains whatsoever, only 1.2% on the value of what you own at the end of the year. Buy me a beer when you do Bob.
Are you serious? I've been looking for something like that. Canada with its 12.5% for the highest gainers was already very appealing to me, but the ridiculously strict immigration laws and the (at least apparent) amount of SJWs has been putting me off. Some US states looked appealing as well with around 20% for long-term hodls, but all the bullshitting with net neutrality and whatnot doesn't make that country very appealing either (I love the drama, but only from a distance..).
What does immigration to the Netherlands look like and how easy is it to declare your net worth?
I am serious. However immigrating is not that easy, even though Holland is very welcoming. Most importantly, the country you move from will generally want to settle all outstanding stuff including e.g. pensions in one full swoop. How that would work out you would have to check locally.
As I understand, in Belgium you actually pay exactly 0%. Plus it has better food and wine.
However Holland is slightly more internationally orientated and better organised. Whether you like the culture more is a question of taste. The Belgians are more polite, the Dutch are more straight forward and open minded.
Edit: sorry, to answer your question, or rather not answer it, I don't know how the procedure works. Of course, bringing a lot of money with you makes things easier. Declaring your net worth seems a question of just doing so I presume.
Edit2: looks easy:
https://www.wikihow.com/Move-to-the-NetherlandsThe Netherlands would be simpler for me from a language perspective than Belgium. I also don't mind the liberal stance towards substances to say the least and I already know that there is some good and authentic Japanese cuisine in Amsterdam, which is generally quite rare abroad, so that's a massive bonus for me as I'd prefer not having to fly across the globe to satisfy some food cravings.
Ons Nederlands is beter dan het Hollands, Engels, Frans, Duits zijn we ook beter in en culinair, tja... . Grts from Belgium.
I've looked into it a bit too now, and it seems like getting into the Netherlands would be as simple as walking right in for me, unlike Canada. Seriously considering it, even if just for a short to mid term kind of stay. Anything is better than having to twist and bend to comply with tax laws without paying a ridiculous ~40% on gains for now.
Thanks a lot for bringing this to my attention by the way.
I didn't really like it there enough to stay for a prolonged amount of time though... Way too hot.
All people seem to do in Thailand is sweat.
I made the terrible mistake of going there any time except in the winter. Do not do this.

"A serious troll", is that something like Mr. VSP Dimon?
On a serious note, something bizarro with Stamp : I am logged in, can make orders et all, but when I go to my account page it says that my password is too old and that I must create a new one.
The password is the one I created when I opened my account with them, I think a month ago.
security measure. bitstamp wants you to create a new password every month (or even twice a month) by default. I think it is possible to set it up in way that it will not ask you to change your password, but I would recommend to stick with default setting. I keep my old passwords in the same place as the new one. over time creates a bulk of passwords and it is sometimes hard, even for myself to figure out which is the latest one. extra little safety...
edit: just saw that your question was already answered, sry
Still welcome, thanks. And indeed, safer but more complex... . I think keeping the same PW only is possible with 2FA.

A healthy correction is expected to happen in the next 48hs, don't panic
Probably back testing the $10,000 line but then from the upper side downwards
My totally unproven meta dartboard method predicts between 8200 - 8500€, so just above or slightly below 10k USD. But it was for today, so a day extra going sideways will probably lift it a bit.

I think that there is a natural tendency for humans to 'cash out' at human-friendly prices. So I expect a fair amount of

Accordingly, perhaps the relevant question is not when we reach 10K, but rather when we leave it in the rearview. Aren't you supposed to be a bear?
Not a bear, just like me, it is only that we have passed only when it is really passed... . And I also see some seling @10K delaying the crossing.
On a side of that, the dips we have recently seen had, in my opion, contrary to the news on ZH, Coindesk and Telegraph, nothing to do with some external factors. More some testing of the elasticity in the system by our newcomers from the casino's. And since the normal BTC market buyers seem to be a little exhausted for the moment, I would not be surprised if we would not see a few more of these sudden out of the blue actions.

You think it wrong as always. Bitcoin-euro trade is a drop in the bucket compared to Bitcoin-dollar, yen, yuan etc trade. The rest of the world simply doesn't care that bitcoin is at 10k euro price.
Of course the € trade is peanuts compared to USD/Yuan/Yen/Won trade. But look, the USD 12K plusminus corresponds to 10K€. So the denomination is maybe not so important, compared to the human factor.

http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-12-07/defense-bitcoin-hoardingUnder old-style Keynesian theory, economic growth is driven by consumer spending, not saving, so anyone who is hoarding money under the mattress is holding back progress. Hoarders are the enemy. “Every such attempt to save more by reducing consumption will so affect incomes,” wrote J.M Keynes, “that the attempt necessarily defeats itself.” He popularized what became known as the “Paradox of Thrift.”
It’s supposed to be counterintuitive. You think that saving up for the future is a good thing. Whoops, you are hurting others and, in the long run, hurting yourself. You should be spending, even going into debt to spend.
But sometimes “counterintuitive” is just wrong. That is the case here. There is no paradox. The intuition is right. Thrift is a good thing, on the individual level or for the whole society. Deferring consumption is the necessary precondition to permit saving. Saving is never wasteful. It’s true that infinite saving is pointless but that’s not how this works.
You are always saving for something. The end of saving is eventual consumption in some form. More importantly for economic growth, saving is the precondition for investment. Investment is what extends the complexity of the structure of production. This leads to employment, expansion of the division of labor, and the eventual rise of wealth.
Good reading. (Between all the sensational soars-crashes).

The situation with Kraken has just gone to the extreme. Previously you knew you had to plan the conditional limit orders in advance as it was completely unoperable during big moves... Now it has been two days since I haven't been able to even cancel my standing orders to finish my FULL moving out.
I understand exchanges to be overflowed by new users and high activity but this is beyond ridiculous. If you can't even cope with order cancelations just stop accepting new users or even stop all trading altogether.
At least my withdrawals are going out without much trouble (apart from having to send the order multiple times). So not saying they are thieves, just incompetent. The problem will come when I am not able to withdraw any funds reserved for standing orders I can't even cancel.
Putting, canceling orders = pain in the ... . Even logging in the account is a terrible experience... .

After launch of bitcoin at CBOE futures
Then bitcoin becomes a casino gulag where the house always wins and there is no reason to go near it instead of metals. In metals they can only naked short it to cost of production. In bitcoin, cost of production is fully floating and recursive based on it's own demand via hashrate, so they can literally naked short it to 0 instead of some type of cost of production floor because no such thing even exists in bitcoin. Shorting metals below cost of production causes miners to stop bringing gold and silver to market, so it's counterintuitive because it would just create scarcity, so they don't do it (or at least not for long periods of time). Shorting bitcoin below cost of production forces miners to turn off, thus lowering the temporary cost of production floor even further while the supply from miners recirculating coins remains unchanged. This is why naked shorting is FAR MORE detrimental to bitcoin than metals.
This is nonsense for a very simple reason. If there is gold price increase there will be increase in supply by opening more gold mines. if there is bitcoin price increase you can't increase supply by opening more bitcoin mines!
The whole futures narative will be a turd and fizzle into the coke filled brains of Wallstreet in a few days. Nothing to see in Coinlandia.

C'mon bitcoin.... do something, I'm bored
From here I honestly wouldn't be shocked to see Bitcoin move sideways for a couple months, with constant pumps up and dumps down inside a sideways channel.
Without a lot additional supply, the futures traders know that this market will go nowhere. So they are going to keep shaking the tree and see what falls out.
My bet: nothing will. And eventually they will get weary and just go long.

That why i like the "infos" on forum :
http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-12-11/no-bitcoin-wont-boil-oceansA recent report suggests that at current prices, Bitcoin miners will consume an estimated 8.27 terawatt-hours per year.
That might sound like a lot, but it’s actually less than an eighth of what U.S. data centers use, 1 and only about 0.21 percent of total U.S. consumption.

This is truly awesome. Very well written!
Didn't read it all yet, but the quote and it's conclusions "
So money at its most austere is simply a promise" was kind of bullshit. The real crux of the situation is that money is an imaginary or social construct humans use to try and gain leverage over one another, and so the further you abstract human trade away from barter, the bigger an immoral scam you have created. THIS is why only physical commodity currencies can be money, whether it's gold, silver, oil, wheat, or what have you. Anything that does not have some type of roots in the real world is a flat out scam because you're inherently trying to con other humans into accepting something of no value for a real world good of value.
Wether I borrow your fishing net with the promise to give you a fish, or a gram of gold or a satoshi, or a cent, it all remains the same : a promise that I will reward you for doing something for me. Money is a means to facilitate barter. It only goes wrong when the facilitator is manipulated. And that is equally true for fiat or gold(look at the gold markets, it is laughable). So maybe you make the right point but are as misguided by the fiat scam as so many are. (we all are to some extend).

This is a better debate about it, where people claim net neutrality is socialist:
http://steemit.com/internet/@schattenjaeger/net-neutrality-is-not-a-human-right-it-s-socialismAnd my reply to it:
What are you smoking? Net neutrality is the idea that you pay a flat fee to a broadband provider and they aren't allowed to manipulate your content. If they are allowed to manipulate your content, you aren't using an "internet", you're using an "intranet" because they will firewall off competitors or ideas they don't want people to have access too.
The end result is that there is no internet and there's only serfs who have the ability to choose which corporate walled garden (like the apple store) to subscribe to. So yea, you are sort of correct stating net neutrality is "socialism", if by that you mean all large, complex, public works projects are incapable of being done by the private sector because they don't have the land usage rights or millions of other rights to lay down pipes everywhere on other people's property to facilitate that business.
So I guess the argument boils down to the fact that socialism is anti-freedom, but can temporarily leverage resources to create larger, more complex structures than the private sector, before socialism inevitably collapses from immediately turning into crony capitalism. This makes "freedom" kind of a pro-Amish movement, but a free society will be less able to leverage resources to tackle big problems or create technological spectacles. This makes the Amish kind of right that technology is a deal with the devil. If you want the internet, then you want socialism, otherwise you're getting an intranet.
This one I like Roach. Maybe we should just consider internet, or any public service as a common, that would avoid the ideological - religeous zeolotery that always comes when the public domain is involved... .

If Tilson was really a genius fund manager and could call a top on Bitcoin, then he wouldn't have to preface his prediction with "But for all I know it could go to $1M first" like all the other geniuses out there. That's just moving the goal posts waaayy out so he doesn't have to look wrong.
That's about as genius a statement as me saying "The U.S. stock market is in a bubble and is going to crash again one day, but for all I know the S&P 500 could hit 10k first!" There, I just said it. I guess I'm now as much of a genius as a billion dollar hedge fund manager then?

I only make about 1 transaction a week on average. It makes absolutely no sense for me to open up a LN channel. Furthermore, opening up a channel subjects me to a counterparty risk. The other party could transmit an earlier, more favorable tx to the blockchain and rip me off. Yes, if I catch the other party in time, I can invoke a penalty. However, this involves ensuring my Lightning Node is online 24/7 or enlisting a third party to monitor for me. Seems like a malicious hub could invoke DDOS attacks on vulnerable channels and known third party monitors effectively knocking them all offline and hightailing it with lots of BTC.
We will probably be able to enlist third party patrols and pay then with a part of the penalty/reward - which amounts to the FULL CHANNEL value! This is a strong incentive for would-be patrols. All it takes is ONE such guy to spot a cheating transactions and the thief is done. It's not like an individual patrol must keep its rig online 24/7. I think there will be very little cheating. It's way too risky for the perpetrator.

Unless you meant LN is a system that allow cheating. Well, with LN you can give a try at cheating, but only if you have a stake (a channel open) and you are ready to risk the whole stake should your cheat fail.
Yes that is what I meant. So LN is intended to allow small payments, at low cost, that do not overload the base of the network. The most important feature of the base is tht it is trustless, so uncheatable. This is a bit difficult for me.

This is the price to pay for instant transactions (no onchain confirmation), but I'd say LN's anti-cheating mechanism is near perfect. Anyone who spots a cheating transaction within 24 hours (I think - or was it 48?) of its timestamp can give the cheaters what they deserve
and pocket a handsome reward. My bet is the network will be swarming with bounty hunters.
So the system that must allow us, average Joe 's to use BTC as money for everyday spending needs bounty hunters to avoid cheating? Why not ask the FBI or any of the alphabet agencies, they will be glad to do so... . I do not believe we need this kind of system... . Moreover, the hunter easily becomes the cheater in this kind of arrangements... .

Short reply: Yes - just as the system that currently allows us to use BTC for not-everyday spending needs full nodes and miners and lots of electrical power.
Elaborating more. LN
might need bounty hunters just to make sure every cheating attempt maked the "cheated" part end in profit (as well as the bounty hunter). I think the way it will work is that you open a channel with Starbucks, or Amazon, or some other reputable entity who has no interest at all in being labeled as a provable fraud (the cheat requires settling the channel
on the blockchain, where it will be there for all to see forever). I guess most people who run full nodes will start a Lightning hub on the side, if it is even marginally profitable. There willl probably be blacklists and feedback scores for Average Joes who want to invest in facilitating channel opening without being Starbucks.
Why not ask the FBI or any of the alphabet agencies, they will be glad to do so... . I do not believe we need this kind of system... .
You're answering yourself. We don't need alphabet agencies for that. That's why not.
Moreover, the hunter easily becomes the cheater in this kind of arrangements... .
Have you read some documentation on how LN works? I don't mean the full technical spec - that's a lot and it requires a highly degree of techno competence in crypto. There was a good, accurate but simple explanation that I can't locate right now. Maybe reading that could help you feel more at ease. Now if anyone would be so kind to link a suitable web page...
Thanks for the extra info and I will be glad to read the laymans explanation.
I am always sceptical towards solutions that tend to be more complicated than the problem. And as far as it concerns broad adoption, that is the single most important aspect.
About the system, I meant we do not need a system that needs policing of any kind.

Both stocks and bitcoin are nothing more than crowd sourced pump and dumps so the degree of trust is entirely determined by personal investment. If anything, that article is kind of a warning sign that much of the retail investor is already in on bitcoin leaving not as many greater fools to buy higher.
Actually you are dead wrong. The stock market and the Bitcoin market are nothing alike. Equities are designed, structured and launched to enrich only the 1% on day 0. The Bitcoin market is the closest that mankind has had to a "free market" in hundreds of years.
You need to do some research before you speak..

Just came to say Hi and to share something euphoric about the future
What the hell happened to you, since about May-ish?
I have read many speculations about you no longer being with us?
Another extreme dear brother showing up, my dear JJG.
Have been drowning into the crypto twitter ocean and IRL issues.
But finally back and gave our bullish thread a push
I've missed you all brother, hopefully I won't fade away again
EXACTAMENTE!!!
Even though each of us have our differing styles, your style has been missed - yet it seems a bit extreme, too, of you, to post 2-10 bullish media articles per day for several months (and spoil many of us), and then completely disaparecer for 6 months -ish.
In any event, I am glad to see you back, and I look forward to posts and your perspective.
O..k.. One other point that I would like to make is that I had frequently asserted that you were much more bullish than me regarding short term BTC price performance - especially if we look back to our interactive posts in the late 2015 time frame and even the ones in the mid-to-late 2016 time frame. So, it seems that you were much closer in your assessment than me, because current BTC prices are running about 3x to 4x higher than my most likely bullish assessments of those times.
I confess my brother, I'm an extremist.
I'm not a moderate person and an insane risk taker, so let it be whatever it meant to be.
I did you miss you a lot my dear brother and missed our talks a lot and here they are back again
My new targets are as follows, and you are free to call me an insane/crazy person, I know I'm mentally mad :
2018 will end at $100,000
2020 will end at $1,000,000
We are just warming up and we ain't seen anything yet, wait to witness 2018, it's will be a mind-blowing year.
Allright i’m In for that ..... let us start Going back up from This small dip 🤗
Every dip SHOULD be treated as a GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY to buy some cheap coins, always BTFD.
Since I spent the "Plunge protection fund" already, time to sell the mother in law, auction the wife off, put half of the furniture on E-bay, rob the nightshop and eventually tomorrow also the local pub...

Edit: Either way, does not the law say that you mention that bad money expels good money? I do not understand your logic.
Gresham's Law:
Bad money tends to circulate, pushing good money into holding (aka storage).
And oh boy, are the BCash crew pushing it as a better form of spending, thus circulating money (ie. lower transaction fees).
Same with Litecoin. I remember when even Coblee was saying "Bitcoin is for holding, and Litecoin is for spending." He was basically shooting litecoin in the foot with such statements.
But let's be real for a second.
1. e-Commerce is rarely if ever happening with crypto. It just isn't. Even if the coin is supposedly "better or faster" for spending.
2. Traders want lower transaction fees for more trading and no fee friction. That's it.
3. Miners HATE hodlers, because they get no transaction fee revenue if coins just sit.
4. The establishment would love nothing better than HFT on-chain. But of course, they will never ever achieve such a thing.
What commerce expects from a currency is in the first place stability of value. So none of the current cryptos is suitable. And indeed traders love the opposite, volatility. So basically in the end lower fees will not stimulate commerce, but trading. And probably HFT and all the casino wizzardry. The whole argumentation by the big blockers is just mist and smoke screens for one thing : the third motivation Peter R. metioned for WuVer : get filthy rich on the back of all others.

Yeah, every trade is a taxable event to US persons. Whether that is buying coffee or litecoin. It is property according to the IRS.
Even if you thought you could get away with the like kind exchange rule, you still have to report every trade individually on the exemption form.
If it were classified as a stock, you could just report net gains and losses but not so with property.
They have made compliance nearly impossible so unless someone passes a law to exempt transactions prior to a certain date, a lot of people are going to owe back taxes and penalties if not jail time.
Simple solution: Become an expat.

It's a kinda strange sense of certainty I get the more BTC is attacked. The high transaction fees and long confirmations is an increased incentive to hodl. While those new to crypto of the last 30 days are freaking out at BTC's correction and trying to trade alts, I've never felt more bullish in my hodlings. In fact, its exactly what I did before I joined the buy and hodl only team. I'm thinking there's a good possibility of some big news around the corner in response to the past several days.
I can confirm that lots of eager "new" investors got spooked recently. Next gen hodlers?
Yeah well, this time I did something stupid. I had an old stop loss order sitting at 10300€. Long forgotten. And then when the drop started, it came in sight and when I tried to cancel it, Kraken went in 502 and all the other cloudflare tricks, by the time I had access to cancel it, the order was closed... .

What was our truly dumbest comment of 2017? There is no question: it was, and is and shall be going into the New Year our statements regarding Bitcoin. We thought it was a bubble at $5,000. We thought it was a Bubble at $10,000 and at $15,000 and at $20,000. We thought it would crash and burn long ago and clearly we were wrong
Dennis Gartman
And yet the U.S. stock market is the most overvalued of any point since the Roaring Twenties, but eh no problem it's perfectly fine.
And I guess it gets lost on Dennis that the Wallstreet establishment is desperate to first get a Bitcoin Futures market and then Bitcoin ETFs propped up and fast. They surely aren't going through all the trouble and effort because they want to use them to fleece a bunch of supposedly dumb millennials. That wouldn't be worth the effort. So why the sudden rush? After all these years of Bitcoin being around, why now?
Perhaps Wallstreet views Bitcoin as an "uncorrelated asset" (read: not overleveraged and over-collateralized to the moon like equities)? Perhaps they know something bad is coming 12-18 months from now? Or that a Black Swan could come out of nowhere any moment?
Remember, Gartman is very famous for consequently, never failing, making wrong predictions, (publically at least). So this is not good news for us.

Gold that thing with lots of mothball mine's waiting to come out of retirement when gold is worth x. with modern extraction techniques that make the old days and numbers comparison totally obsolete.
You bitcoin shill bugmen really are clueless about metals. It requires moving twice the tonnage of dirt right now to get one ounce of silver as it did just over one decade ago (then add 2007-2017 printing and inflation on top of that). Peak gold and silver have just occurred recently. All the low hanging fruit is taken first; only much more costly stuff is left in the ground. There is no super secret technology to move exponentially increasing amounts of dirt using the same amount of energy as before. Most of these machines involved are running on diesel.
The govt is afraid that letting stocks implode will cause the boomercucks to riot since all retirement funds are tied to them, plus the oil industry has mega amounts of bad debt that could probably blow up the whole system as well if they don't try to inflate that away. Govt is clearly attempting some type of last ditch effort to float the system by having a 1970's inflation epidemic. Metals went up 10x last time this happened in an 8 year span. Putting money into bitcoin and praying some other scammer pumps the valueless tokens is gambling. Putting all your money into the base of Exter's pyramid (gold and silver) and waiting for the 10x is not gambling.
That is why I have 30% in metals... .

The difference between Mt.Gox and Bitfinex is that, at that time, bitcoin had few use cases, and few exchanges, whereas now, is much more widespread, with lots of use cases and exchanges (there are even people using it to buy cars and houses).
So a Bitfinex scandal would not affect the price as much as Mt.Gox did.
Its not about bitfinex, its about tether. Count the number of exchanges with real! USD support - Coinbase, Bitstamp, Gemini and Kraken - thats it.
Now imagine "the market" realizes that there are 2.2Billion worthless "USD" in the system, which where used to pump up the price from 1k$ to 20k$.
Somebody will be the bagholder for those 2.2Billion.
Isn 't the majority of Tethers not sitting on Finex? On Kraken, there is very little volume with it.

The bagholders would be the ones holding tether, not bitcoin.
In relation to bitcoin, this looks like a orchestrated FUD. It already happened before, when price was starting to rise.

...
1) Tether is not only used by Bitfinex but spread through multiple exchanges. You you would have to count every cold storage (or see how much Tether is at Bitfinex vs. BTC at Bitfinex)
...
Possible. However, I think this is the wrong approach. Let´s say Tether is exposed as a fraudulent enterprise and
the price drops of USDT drops to nearly zero. People currently have more than 300M $ of USDT on Poloniex according
to the Tether rich list. Why would the Poloniex cold wallets matter in this situation? They are under no obligation to
redeem the 300M $ of USDT for anything. The same applies to Bittrex, Binance, Huobi and so on in my opinion.
Let me illustrate my point using a further example.
1. We are in the November of 2017 and Bob decides to sell 10 BTC for 100k $ on his favorite exchange, Bitfinex.
2. Bob decides that altcoins are the future (poor Bob
) and wants to withdraw his 100k $ to his favorite
altcoin exchange, Poloniex.
3. Bitfinex has no working fiat withdrawals at this point in time and Poloniex has no fiat banking relationships either.
4. Luckily there is this internet money called Tether.
5. Bob has read on the Tether website that he can "Get the joint benefits of open blockchain technology and traditional currency".
6. Bob is fascinated by this technology and he withdraws 100k of USDT from Bitfinex to Poloniex.
7. Bob dabbles in altcoins and after losing nearly all of his investment he just wishes that he could
turn back time to just keep his Bitcoin on a hardware wallet and never send them to a sketchy exchange.
8. After reading a post by realr0ach he rails against his fate even more, because even buying physical silver
would have been a better choice than dabbling in altcoins (#in Physical Silver we Trust).
Ok, I admit that I got a little carried away here
But the gist is that the cold storages of all the altcoin exchanges are not relevant for the
backing of outstanding Tethers, because they are under no obligation to give their users anything
for their USDT if the price of USDT decreases enormously.
Of course ideally even the Bitfinex cold wallet would be irrelevant for the backing of Tethers,
because the outstanding USDT should be backed by actual fiat money in real bank accounts.
It does not need to go off with a big bang of course. Probably more and more users are smelling the danger and will effectively change their Tethers for other coins. This way in the end it is the exchanges that will knock on theter 's door... .

I predict that so much of late 2017's run up was by deep pocket institutional investors (and not retail), that we may see a long period of boring market action sideways for 6-8 months. Maybe longer.
Only boring relative to last year's craziness though. I'm thinking 2018 could be very much like 2016, slow and steady. Make no mistake though, institutional investors will continue to accumulate OTC. Someone has to buy all those newly minted coins each day/month.
That is the best new years wish ever... . I hope it will happen like that. (small swings may be welcome on a regular base to help increase our stash a bit).

So if we rhyme with 2014 we go to $7k in next two weeks, have a quick rally to 11.5-12k before going back into bear mode and closing the year around $2.5k, from there recovery can begin with potential for New ATH in late 2020. Same multiple increase from 1/15 low to 12/17 high. Would give us a circa $320k high in 12/21 (EDIT). See you all in three years.
We have quite a different set of scenarios than we had in 2014 - so it is a bit more difficult to suggest that currently we are on the path of BTC price performance that is analogous to 2014... you could be correct, but I don't think that the 2014 scenario quite applies to our current BTC situation
A more likely scenario that I could see would be that we are in a kind of 2013 scenario, where the first rise in BTC prices is followed by a drop and then another rise in BTC prices. Accordingly, we have achieved our first BTC price rise when prices went from $250 to $19,666. Yet, these kind of analogies do not quite apply with any kind of exactness, so perhaps we would need to project our bouncing upwards point as starting at either $1k in early 2017 or more likely $2,600 starting off in August 2017, because I cannot see reasonable scenarios, in this particular seemingly ongoing Bull market that BTC prices are going below $5k (before we go back up), except perhaps a spike below $5k. If we end up going below $5k for any kind of substantial time (other than a spike), then certainly my tune (and assessment) would change, and I would thereafter consider that we are actually in a bear market as you suggest - but we cannot call a bear market merely because we are in about a 6 week price correction.. that is way too premature, even if you end up being correct about the ultimate playing out of the situation.
I will agree with you that if we substantially break $5k this time around, then $2.5k would likely be a next area of support and at that point, we would be in a bear market that is potentially extended out, like the one in 2014. In this case, I think that the more likely scenario is a floor that is $7 or $8k, and perhaps a spike down to $5k or $6k, and we would still remain in a bull market with a decently long price correction.
It does seem that a decent amount of support has been broken in the $10k territory, yet I still consider there is going to continue to be support for buying in the 4 digits, so if the price goes down, it is going to have to be on continued and ongoing volume and there is going to continue to be decent levels of support that continues all the way down to $7500.
The 8500-7500 USD floor is what also ML seems to think. And I am also going from that as a premisse.

Masterluc thinks it's over.
Well, so the present drop ends somewhere in the red circle.
So, the price hit somewhere close to 61.7% Fibonacci of the entire growth from 150 to 19800.
You know what it means? That the Third
(wave?) is completed and we became its witnesses =) For this, congratulations to you.
What's next? Next is the Fourth (going on now). And then the Fifth somewhere in the area of 100k.
The current drop will bounce back very well into the area of 13,000-15,000 in the short term, where those who bought up on my advice will be able to sell off, but have already managed to curse everything and wet the diapers. Bleed there, because it is not for you.
The critical level at 7700 does not really matter anymore, because I see that the wave is over.

Probably your last chance as I guess they will ban cheerleaders altogether as they are so incredibly offensive like the F1 pit girls according to maniac uber liberals.
I mean it's not as if sex helped anyone to get here in the first place, right?
It's not men trying to exploit women, it's women trying to exploit men. Women were never the breadwinners in evolution. If men traditionally have the resources, the woman then evolves into trying to con the man into giving them up. This is why women score better at linguistics than men and speak more words per day on average. Linguistics is basically the art of manipulation and conning people. The women who were not good at conning people all died and didn't pass on their genes.
That's why the Jews - the most well-known scammers - score higher in linguistics than anyone. It's not intelligence, it's just straight up mastery of fraud. If a woman is talking to a man, generally she is trying to trick him into doing shit for her. If that fails to work, or as a dual prong attack, she can also fall back onto portraying herself as a sex object then trying to extort the man for resources using that. If it was up to me, I would ban women from wearing makeup and dressing like bimbos just because it's all part of sketchy con game to try and manipulate people and I'd force them to get by on more legit means.
Roach, are you aware that you are using more words than anyone else (maybe except JJG Wink ) on this forum?

Whatever the shitcoins ain’t not important , but for btc itself a dip all the way down to 1500 wouldn’t be great as well the dip can be Big but Some people need a break or not even they that believes cannot stomach such massive dips
If you look at the one year and two year chart, then logically we would floor at somewhere between 5000-5500€ . But there is always unlogic overshoot, so my guess is between 4500-5500€.

This is called a crash all the Way down from €16k down to 4.7k nahhh
Personnaly i do not like This big crashes as well ..., but like my hombre said he would be more worried with the straight line up whitout serious correction than like whats happening now
Should be more thinking like the Guy’s saying if iT Goes under 5k$ sell the house and go ALL IN
The market needed a good shake up he said and Thats whats happening So after This more adoption more fresh FIAT more fresh hodlers more cool projects on the side and Just ceep calm and do hodl thru and do ride them bumpy-grumpy waves
Ye But what i Dont understand is, we had many corrections When we hitted 16k€ range.
We dropped many times to €12k - €15k And even more down then up again..
We are not in a a crash, no where near. Yoy we are up 500% which is healthy growth. Only the exessive decandent exuberance is corrected off. For which I am thankfull,it allowed to increase btc stash, and some fiat to spend on sex and drugs and R&R.

Happened that I'm tired arguing with you about obvious. You stated:
Germany was the elephant (better technology, better trained, better generals, etc.) the Soviets were the ants (huge numbers)
and I've shoved you the figures that in 1944 when the Germans where truly defeated there were 3,370,000 Hitler's fighters confronted to 6,425,000 Soviet fighters. If that complies with your definition of one elephant vs huge number of ants then I'm out of the discussion. You are right that those 3,3M fighters had better technology, were better trained, had superior command infrastructure and still they are defeated by 6.4M fighters. It certainly was not the "ant psychology" that gained victory with such less then 1:2 number difference.
Hitler was a retard when it came to military science. His strategies were terrible, and his micromanagement was even worse. If he would've left the war to the generals, most of Eurasia would be speaking German now.
If Hitler had it left to the generals (Heer, not the SS ones), there would have been no war at all.

The whales control more than you think. They control the floats of all the major altcoins, and peg their trading bots to the Bitcoin price so that small traders "have nowhere to run." That is, they will only pump the coins they want to pump as an out to falling prices elsewhere.
I have to agree with this reading of things. Torque might be a master of paranoid thinking and a conspiracy nut, but more often than not subsequent events agree with his (broad stroked, not numerically pinpointed) predictions.
Ever notice that after a day or two of nothing but down across all cryptos, suddenly out of the blue some random shitcoin that no one expected will start pumping for no reason? Yeah, the whales do that on purpose... to concentrate all of their new $$$ resources on one pump and lure in the gullible.
Couldn 't agree more. Looking at the events where we pump on thin air and drop as a deflating balloon in a sequence with an almost fixed frequency for no reason connected to the real world is more than explaining enough...

money and sex have always been closely linked in the human psyche, its a bit of a conflated topic but there is at least one reason i can see.
Sex is an act of demonstrating one's self-worth as a human to procreate, i.e. continue one's genetic dynasty into the future, so receiving favours, credits, smerits etc (money) is a validation of that act by a measure of value that has a market worth, so somewhat objectively recognised and not merely a personalised "good job, well done".

Do you remember back on December when they talk about bitcoin 100k on 2018?
What do you think now?
End of December, I thought this is crazy. Now I think, this is normal. And I do not feel pitty for guys that are going to eat their dick.

Guys, your reasons for the continuing downtrend are all wrong.
It's pretty simple.
1. Whale(s) spend a full year pumping Bitcoin and altcoins to the moon, using massive leverage.
2. Whale(s) gain control of the float and thin it out, pushing prices to the moon.
3. Whale(s) massively short sell/dump in one go. Ending bull run. Whale mega money then sits on sidelines.
4. Whale(s) use lotza coins to squeeze remaining float up and down to make money trading. Mostly down.
5. Average Joes finally lose interest. Sell at bottom.
... and then... eventually... (*we are not there yet*)...
6. Whale(s) use sidelined mega money to scoop up cheap coins at the bottom. Downtrend over. Next bull run starts.
There are no "reasons". There are no plausible "FUD". Its just the way it goes.
Yep!!!! This was all pre-planned from a year ago and perhaps two years. There are whale manipulators who knew these details all along. I knew it.
Probably this plus a lot of coincidences : Mt Gox, futures etc. Now the whales are just preparing to move capital from their FANG investments to BTC, on their terms welunderstood. Although the first effect of the FANGs going South will and has, also a negative effect on BTC.

Dropping like flies, so they are.
My choose was totally random and now looks like a rather silly date. I can't see any particular reason why it would pop around then. I'll take full credit, and delete this post, if it happens all the same.
Well, yeah, we are all in the same boat after all. Now what I have learned over the last year, before that I was an ordinary dumbass, : never panic, just Hodl. (I do a bit of trading, just 5% of my little stash, only targetting increase in BTC, no consideration for fiat value.) .

Everybody will say here this is tin-foil hat conspiracy theory.
But central banks can print money out of tin air, provoking inflation, which is in turn masked by the media.
You can see that people are always FUDing about tether, saying that is illegal and immoral for Ifinex to print it without a dollar equivalent, like it was a stupendous crime againt humanity.
However, when its central banks doing exactly the same, nobody cares.
So such cartels can run free. Thats how they dumped the gold market. Remember that a hundred years ago, gold was a store of value, and used as a protection against financial tyranny.
Now they are doing the same with crypto.
They print money out of tin air, buy bitcoin, then sell at low prices. Since every financial crisis is planned, this is good for their goals.
But hey, its a conspiracy. Trust the state and the banks, lets FUD about the immoral tether.
Bitcoin has a secret weapon, it is call scarcity!
Take those coins away from the market and they will need to pump it again to shake the tree.
Yes but that is equally true for gold and to a lesser extend other PM's. And since their weapon of choice is paper, it is an unequal battle. I heard and read many many times that we should buy their paper gold and then redeem the real stuff in order to bring them down. Only, the few people who actually tried to have their contracts settled in physical, had a rather cold experience... . (So far at least). Now of course, why would someone want to have paper gold in any way ?

Not really, there is no deliverable on BTC futures. The only way to get BTC is in the BTC markets. They can battle with their fiat but we just need people to buy and HODL. Scarcity will win the game. It may take some time.
Agh, yes of course, the contracts are settled in cash only.
Meanwhile, it looks like our questions about the desireabillity of the big boys entering the BTC ecosystem also has been answered... .

Anyone concerned that Gemini seems to have raised their trading fees 4x in the past day on top of about a 2x increase from last year. Seems to add up to about 10x increase in their fees. Here is a thread that was started about the issue.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3248495.msg33826905#msg33826905I am kind of wondering what Gemini's goal is? It would seem that if they wanted to create more liquidity, then they would keep the fees lower, but perhaps they are attempting to become the Cadillac of exchanges, and I wonder if other exchanges will follow to raise their trading fees? or if Gemini will attempt to serve more of a niche clientelle who are willing to pay higher trading fees?
I would pay higher fees than on other exchanges if there is higher return. Whatever that might be... .

High return could be considered to be more security and more volatility, but I don't think that purposefully creating higher volatility by removing liquidity is a way to increase user confidence in a platform.
I have no real idea of their motivation at this point, except that they are attempting to go down the path of prestigious pricing, and that does not seem to be a good move based on their current market position based on current trade volume (but hey what do I know? Administrators/owners there would know their trade numbers better than my looking at what I believe to be their relatively mediocre trade volume).
Maybe it is just because of the low volume... . In that case, they might be followed by the others.

I am not sure about whether you are misreading my post. Gemini has lower trade volume relative to other exchanges; however, their increasing their fees is likely to decrease their trade volume - however, those kinds of measurements would be for them to make about whether their trading volume decreases significantly in order to cause the increase in fees to be imprudent, from a business perspective.
They are an exchange, so I am not sure about why they would take measures that might decrease their trading volume, unless they are gambling on the fact that more and more BIGGER investors are coming into the space (such as institutional investors), and they are trying to cater their platform towards the institutional investors rather than the regular Joe.. but even institutional investors like to see high volume which is likely going to come, in part, from regular Joes.
Regarding overall assessments of low trading volume, currently, I think that those kinds of assertions of low overall trade volume are a mythical, and I believe that we have not left BTC price battling, and this supposed consolidation game (in the below $10k arena) is not over yet... so even if there might be some recent drops in trade volume, I doubt that those recent drops are anything more than temporary - in the current bitcoin (and crypto) price dynamic climate.
There is a bit of a contradiction in the service that Gemini offers, because they are increasing their trading fees, but their fees for getting in and out seem to be lower than the average
(see these Gemini transfer fees)Sometimes I misread, indeed. But isn 't the low (appears zero)transfer fees, confirming the lack of voume motive for increasing trade fees?

What's wrong with belgium? a part being the most stupid people on earth, they host the evil centralized globalists bent on replacing the native people of the europe anti referendum without constitution european union... where they don't even pay taxes... and where they advertise sugar babies services (I joke you not)... and where islamic parties are starting to form to win the so called democratic process (let me laugh)... and freedom of speech is criminalized and the God given right to defend it of bearing arms. seriously belgium people have low iq...
The Belgian Islamic party Partij Islam is set to run candidates in 28 municipalities in the upcoming Belgian municipal elections, and have declared their intention to create an Islamic State in which women and men have to ride in separate buses.
As long as they apply strict sharia law, ie 10% tax max, count me in !!!

What do you think about Fund of Soros to enter in cryptoworld??
this is positive or negative??
Negative. The hedge fund will probably short this to the ground. Then, when all the newbie bears start shorting, they'll get rekt too.
with that mind set you can only win scraps !!! I WANT HEDGE FUNDS VS PENSION FUNDS
!!! they are already old let's make them poor.
Stop talking BS about that Islam party. They come up in two Brussels communes and will have maybe 3000 votes... .
And no we don 't need anything big. We leave that privilege to others. About Nato an EU shitquarters, well egh yes that is a pain in the ass of most Belgians. And our politcal class is just as stupid as in any
other country on the globe... .
And, we pay no taxes (0%) on our crypto trading as long as not being professionally involved. So thanks for the low iq, quite handsome... .

Good morning everyone.
Jumping well above $7.8k and bull rushing past $8k...we have entered another Fibonacci area where resistance is meeting support. Market sentiment is still on the rise and is the highest it has been all year.
Market sentiment is now bullish.
Still, its better to be careful, in case we have some massive bulltrap.
Lets see in the next 24 hours.
Don't afford more than you can afford to looose.
So next 24hours are critical nothing else matters...?
Every hour, the next 24 Hours are critical... . I just don 't trust that sudden upshoot of yesterday. Too easy, too cheap. So I keep buy orders from 6150€ all the way down to 5200€ and some spare ammo... .

There just is no continuous aging process when it comes to Asian women (at least the good looking ones). They eventually flip to "old" mode once they turn I don't know, 80 or something.
You are wrong. No other way to put it, you are just flat out wrong here.
The hordes of 30-40 year olds that look like teens to twenties would have me disagree with you on this one. They hold up better than their western counterparts when it comes to aging. At least in the more affluent countries as somebody else pointed out.

Not obesity. Fat shaming is an integral part of their culture. I have seen less fat people in two years while in Japan than I see in a single day in the west (when I actually bother leaving my house).
You are correct about Japan, also when I stayed there I did not see it growing. But in SE-Asia, I saw it growing as a cancer, I am talking over a ten year period when I stayed there regulary. And the adults started eating antibiotics for any imaginary disease, with the same outcome.

You pretend that there is no brand hijacking going on. You cannot possibly be so naive to genuinely believe that on the evidence so you must be a fraud like all the others.
jbreher's not naive about the brand hijacking, he just doesn't give a shit. And he's in hella denial about BCash's chances of being successful in the future.
For everyone one person that buys some BCash, there's a million buying Bitcoin. And that ratio will only get worse for BCash in the future. Do the fucking math, jbreher.
BCash is created as a parasite, on the base of imaginary flaws to be fixed. It was created as a parasite and only survives by the grace of it 's ghost. If it becomes too greedy, it could kill it 's ghost and by
doing that commit suicide. luckilly the parasite has attracted other parasites to itself, so it is flawed in it 's expoitation of the ghost. Ultimately the parasites will just turn out to be reinforcing the resilience of the
ghost and simply destroy themselves. Nothing in the whole discours about the raison d' ëtre in the BCash story makes sense.

Good morning Observer's.
Bitcoin continues to consolidate at $8.8k as indicators relax and the weekend(oh shit, the banks are closed now) approaches. The Twitterati hive mind indicates some of the MtGox coins are heading towards a BitMex address but I have not seen evidence as of yet. In my humble opinion, the sooner these coins are out in general circulation the better.
I expect the price to remain in a relatively narrow channel over the next 24 hours before more substantial price action this weekend. #dyor
So it would mean a push down for the (long) weekend ? Sounds plausible.

Willing or unwittingly makes no difference.
You think it is possible for someone to unwittingly scam someone? So like if I accidentally sell someone a counterfeit good that I had no idea was counterfeit that makes me a scammer?
Was the person who received the good "scammed"? The answer is yes. For that person to have received the binary status of not-scammed (0) or scammed (1), there had to be an initiator of said transaction, and that initiator was you. So yes, willing or unwittingly makes no difference for that particular state change for the person on the other side of the trade.
Bof Roach, you dissapoint me here. Isn 't every trade that has no mutual benefit a scam? If I sell you my old car because I know the clutch is going to fail soon, but I can camouflage it to lure you in it, then it is a scam if you bought it to really use it for longtime driving. If you have understood the potential problem very fast and you sell it to the next, it is not a scam for you, but for the next... .

The next 24 months are extremely critical.
2020 is the estimated year some of us came up with for the So Obvious The Muggles Can't Pretend to Ignore It event. Something that has been brewing for decades will happen, and Trump, the far right extremist president who stole the election, will be blamed.
The next few years are indeed extremely critical. We will either change the turning of the wheel of history, or repeat the cycle.
It doesn't matter. Bitcoin will demolish and reshape every existing order and power structure.
Yes, but at what cost? A WWII style war with a clear and legitimate enemy would be far preferable to a soviet-style meltdown on a large scale. Even if only under the heading that "less people would die".
Does that not feel a bit uncomfortable Ibian, the concept of "A clear and legitimate" ennemy? Between 1933 and 1939 many leaders of the so called democracies admired Hitler, Musso and even the Japanese... . When it comes to war, ther is no such concept. Look at all the wars that haven been ever since 1945, it only has become more and more fog, mist and smoke ennemies. I follow Infofront but for the opposite reasons : Bitcoin is challenging the warmongers.

Technical Analysis
Bitcoin price structure has remained in consolidation purgatory since cooling off from a meteoric rise near the end of 2017. Periods of ranging, indecisive price action are critical for the market to regain momentum for a move in either direction. A key hallmark for this is a descending volume profile, which has been the case since the low set in February.
Although consolidation within a trend should always be assumed as trend continuation, casting a wide net with analysis, while avoiding analysis paralysis, and mapping out several scenarios is the key to eliminating surprises. Predicting the exact future price is less important than reacting to the price action with a potential trajectory and predetermined target.
This process can be done with Chart Patterns, Ichimoku Cloud, Moving Averages, Pitchforks, and historic macro trends. Further background information on the technical analysis discussed below can be found here.
A symmetrical triangle has formed as price has consolidated, making lower highs and higher lows. In Technical Analysis of Stock Trends (1948), Edwards and Magee suggest that roughly 75% of these triangles lead to a continuation of the trend, while the rest mark reversals. In any case, this pattern will be a ‘trade the breakout’ situation as it will likely lead to weeks of trend follow through. Breakouts post consolidation typically occur after at least 66% of the triangle has completed (yellow highlight).
...
Inverted patterns are typically seen at the top or markets, not after a downward move. While this makes the probability of the pattern becoming a reality less likely, it does not mean that it cannot happen. An inverted Head and Shoulders appeared on the weekly Oil chart after a significant downward move as well, which reached it’s 1.618 fib extension almost exactly on target.
If this inverted Adam and Eve is real, it yields a price projection of ~US$2,900 and US$4,600 based on the measured move and 1.618 fib extension. The measured move target nearly matches the low set in September, as well as the previous resistance throughout June and August.
Bitcoin Price Analysis 31 May 2018 14Bollinger Bands, a measure of price volatility, have also coiled tighter and tighter, as illustrated by the Bollinger Band Width (BBW) indicator. An oscillator similar to RSI, %B, which shows the depth of price relative to the Bands, shows a growing bullish divergence as price dips lower without further expansion of the Bands themselves.
Bitcoin Price Analysis 31 May 2018 15The Ichimoku Cloud uses four metrics; the current price in relation to the Cloud, the color of the Cloud (red for bearish, green for bullish), the Tenkan (T) and Kijun (K) cross, and the Lagging Span. The best entry always occurs when most of the signals flip from bearish to bullish, or vice versa.
The Cloud metrics on the weekly time frame are; price above Cloud, nearly bearish Cloud, newly bearish TK cross, and Lagging Span in price and above Cloud. Together, these signals suggest the trend is neutral but leaning weakly bullish because price remains above Cloud. This is the first TK cross since 2015, while the previous bearish TK cross in a similar position led to a multi-month downtrend. TK crosses on high timeframes are significant and should be seen a long exit signal for trade entries which began in 2015.
Price itself is below the Kijun and, seemingly, in no-man’s land. A long entry would not be warranted until price is above the Kijun with a bullish TK cross, essentially also above the neckline of the head and shoulders chart pattern.
...
Conclusion
For better or worse, economic and trade policies worldwide have begun to dramatically shift with multiple political uncertainties. Bitcoin, and cryptocurrencies broadly, have more recently represented a global futures market to price-in credit risk or lack of confidence in leadership. CNBC recently discussed Bitcoin as a fear gauge for the market, similar to the volatility index.
Technicals are the most bearish they have been in months. Based on the current price structure, breaking up would be much more surprising than breaking down. Admittedly, trend-based indicators like the Cloud become more noisy with non-trending price action, and therefore less reliable for actionable signals. However, even when zooming out on the price action, many of the technicals remain bearish. Currently, the trend indicator to watch is the 50/200EMA on the two day timeframe.
Although too early to determine, one ray of hope would be the possibility of this entire consolidation period representing re-accumulation. Essentially, the entire bull trend from 2015 has been reset, which gives plenty of fuel for a new all time high just as easily as returning to new lows. The direction may be unclear, but the volume-based momentum will be obvious.
A lot of literature to say : "We have no idea, no clue".

As someone noted above, the whole Apollo program was primarily a propaganda/PR effort. My theory is that the pictures came back fucked up, over exposed, out of focus...whatever, and the marketing people were like "what the fuck is this? we can't use this." and then they did what marketing people do...
I agree this is the most plausible explanation.

Many people think that Bitcoin's price action is just pure speculation and completely disconnected from other markets, like equities, commodities, hedge markets, PMs, etc.
But if you ascribe to the notion that :
a) Bitcoin could be a safe haven hedge like PMs, and that
b) the equities market is topping and looks really strained/risky, along with
c) what is happening to the emerging markets, hyperinflation countries, and with
d) Central Banks insolvencies, the Deutsche Bank downgrade, etc.
Well then.... the Bitcoin price action over the last 2 years makes perfect sense in that context.

I tend to be a perma-bear, but this most recent crash feels really artificial.
We do seem to be tracking frightfully close to the accelerated 2014 model.
There really
should be no reason for 2014 to recur, since the overall situation is so immensely different, but I also can't help but see parallels. I've always thought that the upward movement after the 2015 doldrums was driven to a significant extent by the 2016 halving, though, which wouldn't apply to a time-accelerated model. And in 2013-2015 the price dropped about 83% from its ATH, which would lead to a price of about $3200 in the current situation.
It is artificial. No doubt about that. And indeed it may look similar to previous episodes, but there is no causal resemblance. My idea is that the financial world has been frightened by what happened last year and knowing their
kingdom is floating on bubbles out of thin air have decided to not let that happen again. They want to prevent people moving their savings out.
Not that I think they will succeed, but it will cause some more pain for sure.

2) regarding running out of fiat. I kind of understand that position, but I don't think that it is a good practice to run out of fiat... If there is any cash flow coming in, then that fiat can be saved.. just in case there is more dip... On the other hand, there could be some luck that this largely $6500 support will hold or at least support at $6k will hold.. I tentatively believe the odds are a bit less than 50/50 for holding... but as we all know, we have already had about 3 or perhaps 4 tests of this price arena... and support does seem to be pretty strong around this area... which kind of makes the breaking of support scenario to be a bit more scary, if it were to happen. Personally, I would rather NOT have to use any more of my fiat to continue to buy BTC on the way down.. so I would be perfectly happy with this price area holding. Currently, I have pretty solid buy orders down to about $4k, but I would likely have to scramble if prices were to go below $4k to think about and to consider how to set up my buy orders with the current fiat reserves that I have. Probably, I am not going to set up those buy orders until the price goes below $6k (that is if it does go below $6k.. so, certainly, I am in a kind of "compelled to watch" position right now.. and nervous for me an likely a lot of peeps - understandably especially for those who have already completely run out of fiat).
I learn a lot from you JJG, but as every apprentice I do make mistakes. Hoping to not repeat them, which is the hard part!

Lost a major chunk of my bitcoin holdings (almost 0.38 BTC) on Bitmex even though I've been longing since $8000 with just 4x leverage (adding more & more after every dump to average it further down), but still at $6140, I got liquidated. With this, I can pretty much assure that $6140 was actually the bottom. It was only to liquidate me, hard luck. Don't comment that I need to risk only what I can afford to lose, I know that very well, just had some real bad luck (as well as confusion) this time.
For reasons like this, I continue to conclude (personally) that leveraging is not necessary, especially in bitcoin. In bitcoin we are lucky to experience outrageously stupendous returns, and I we do not need to leverage in order to achieve such outrageously stupendous returns on our investment.
Accordingly, if you just invest regularly, then the most that you can lose is 100% of what you put in - but if you employ leverage (especially using the margin trade vehicles supplied by exchanges), you not only can lose your 100% more quickly, you also lose it way faster, which causes a kind of magnification that if you employ 4x leverage than you can lose 400% - something like that. Therefore, I still consider any kind of leveraging to be too far into a "gambling" rather than "investing" category, especially with bitcoin.
Exactly. And I really don 't understand why people want to expose themselves to this kind of practice.

I'm not following the whole USDT drama, to me it's just like another alt/shitcoin, i.e. if anything, people would try to escape into BTC when it crashes. Of course it can take down some exchanges, but if you keep your BTC on exchanges thats the risk that you're taking
It may be unfashionable to think it, but I don't really believe there is one any more. Even if at one point it was money out of thin air, and there's no proof either way, they've likely earned it back now.
It's going to be a forever mystery I reckon that's rolled out every now and then for a quick scare.
It may indeed never get cleared out. But they surely played the most sophisticated scam ever : they played the role of central bank in crypto... .

Damn. They must be run by The Jews® then.

Edit: I'm adding this quote from Eric Meltzer of INBlockchain because its a slow day here:
As a jew, I find the existence of basically unseizable money outside of state control massively comforting. To jews, the state is an unpredictable monster that flips out every century or so. Having the ability to leave without leaving everything behind is key.”
What is intrigueing me for some time already is the name of the ceo of finexed and Tether : "Van De Velde". That is so Flemish as can be, so I wonder... .
And the jew part, well, let 's see what Roach has to say about it.

What is going to happen when the real FUD begins?
There is never any real FUD, silly bear. It's all fake made up bullshit.
We don 't need FUD. What I hear in my environment is that people find BTC compromised by the irrational pump and subsequent dump. So they consider it unreliable as investment. That is the opinion of 99.95% of the people I know around here. And that is also what MSM and all the very serious people here tell us on a weekly basis.
We will hang around the actual flat or Barted curve till something external happens. I do not expect that before late September... .

The scariest part of this drop is that there isn't even any major FUD driving it. It's not like last time where there was the China ban and Gox and major exchange issues happening left and right. The drop is just happening naturally on it's own. What is going to happen when the real FUD begins?
Parelleling this phenomena is the continiously unanimous bullishness in the forum. Charts always with some upwards plot and bulls popping champagne and posting rockets every time there is a 5% rise, and circle jerking eachother 'oh yes that's a great analysis, just how I see it. excellent work. and things will be even more bullish after XYZ conference. we could take this further and add an extra digit or two.' (as the bottom is being challenged on low volume)
I could see this coming from a mile away because bitcoin is just a derivative of the dollar. When browsing random crap on Amazon lately, I noticed that every single manufacturer of several products were all having to slash prices big in order to try and move anything, indicating the mainstream consumer is completely tapped out and we're tilting back towards deflationary collapse again. Also, places like Bank of America just added a $10 a month fee just to have a checking account there, indicating banks are losing money and desperate too.
So yea, probably get ready for the next 2008 soon. Contrary to random noob's opinions on this forum, bitcoin cannot be pump and dumped in the middle of a deflationary collapse since all it is is a dollar derivative, while also being a high risk asset and miles away from the base of Exter's Pyramid.
What if we live in a inverse Exter 's pyramid time? I think you are mistaking this one Roach. In the run up to the crisis, yes BTC will suffer. But then it will inverse, just as precious ones... .

oversold levels and showing some
indication of reversal, so what do you waiting for..just grab some btc now and thank me later
All of the standard indicators that you have access to with commercial trading tools are going to be largely useless. After all, the people who create those types of indicators already have them priced in whilst also having much more sophisticated algorithms to raze down the hordes of people that use the publicly available indicators.
Yeah right....

Ok, I am below my cost average... . (in cost I include all I spend in BTC on sex & drugs & rock&roll). Not selling, no way. When all the madness of the Big Casino finally ends in crash, BTC will be the place to be, no matter how long it takes. And the damage done by the Btrash dopies will be only a sidenote bad smelling dead rat. First we will fall together with the funny money circus, too many BTC were bought with borrowed funny money. So while that clears, we must suffer. Once that is behind, comes the real challenge : as BTC was created as a hedge, or counterforce for the funny money after the 2008 chaos, now comes the moment of reckoning. Let 's see what happens.

I'm glad this is happening so it will finally be over and done with.
I think we will have reached our new ATL since the last ATH within a day or 3.
You could be correct that this is going to be over soon (perhaps within a few days), but it remains difficult to be glad about the whole situation.. and we also cannot really rest assured that it is going to be over, either.

Indeed, no reason to feel glad. I wonder, what is the average margin cost for miners at this moment? And how does that fit in the picture of major miners being involved in the Btrash war?

I'm glad this is happening so it will finally be over and done with.
I think we will have reached our new ATL since the last ATH within a day or 3.
You could be correct that this is going to be over soon (perhaps within a few days), but it remains difficult to be glad about the whole situation.. and we also cannot really rest assured that it is going to be over, either.

A few days ago, BitMex research had suggested something like $3341 per BTC, and it remains unclear about how they arrived at that number.
https://twitter.com/bitmexresearch?lang=enI am sure that there is some playing around with BTC hash power, but overall, so far, BTC hashpower has remained pretty stable (and relatively high) through the past few days.
https://www.blockchain.com/charts/hash-rate?timespan=30daysIs this where the fucking $3,300 wall number is coming from? I was wondering who was pulling that number and from where.
So, they are risking their BTC profits for a war in a only losses quest. Strange guys these miners, would Obelix say.

what if the real manipulation was not on USDT exchanges?
A Bullish Crab is close to forming on all the tether exchanges. Makes me wonder a little bit, why do we trust the non tether exchanges, they can manipulate just as easy? Maybe the tether exchanges are more close to an honest price.

I was trying to explain to one bloke that it doesn't matter if you buy 0.1 bitcoin or 100000 of some shitcoin for same amount of money, if it rises 50% the gains will be the same. He firmly believed that his 100000 coins will make him more money, as the numerical value of them is higher. Many know nothing about math, sad.
That's not right. If a project is young and its coin's market cap is low, then its upside potential is higher than a higher market cap coin.
To prove it with an example, say a small project has a market cap of 1mil $. An investor who will throw 1 million $ on this coin will increase its price by 100% (doubling the coin's price)
If the same investor would throw the same 1 million $ in BTC which has 66 billion $ market cap, the increase in price would be a drop in the bucket.
However, we can argue that BTC would draw more investors... the thing is that no matter how you look at it, we're speculating here! If someone is investing in small market cap coins which he has researched and believes that they have potential, then that's a high-risk high-reward play. It's definitely not the same thing as investing the same amount in BTC.
"If a project is young and its coin's market cap is low, then its upside potential is higher than a higher market cap coin."
That is not math, no science, just sentiment.

Im not scared I already sold everything, just trying to warn everyone here so they at least get out with something instead of worthless bags of internet "coins"
All those trolls announcing the death of bitcoin appear in bear markets like this to spread FUD for two main reasons:
1) They already sold (bought high, sold low) and they are scared of the idea of bitcoin going up again.
2) They never bought but could have done when it was much cheaper, like 3 digits, and they are resentful towards those who bought.
In the meantime, HODL, HODL, HODL.

r0ach, I think you just want the price to go lower where you believe the bottom is.
False. I do not want the price to go lower to get a "great deal" on valueless, imaginary tokens. I want the price to go to zero, die, and never be seen again so the world can go back to sound money - silver and gold - instead of the Pandora's box known as digital currency that are all 100% guaranteed to be state controlled tracking and slavery systems on a long enough timeline. It's pretty much inevitable metals do defeat them, I just do not want to see the fight drag on for years from scammers spamming stupid people to buy them.
and a manipulated price on bitfinex. (I believe you also have some real fears about this)
I used to trade shitcoins to acquire more metals even though I knew shitcoins were a garbage asset. Most traditional markets are stupidly rigged, so it was one of the few viable markets to do any type of trading at all. Now, entitites like Bitfinex have turned the market into even more of a scam than traditional markets, so you have an invalid asset trading in a completely invalid toxic market.
You once stated that you believed JJG was responsible for initiating the pump to 1200 by posting bullishly on WO.
No...I did not. I'm pretty sure JayJuanGee is just some sort of Google chat bot and is not even a real person. If I said anything like that, it was obviously a joke. If anything, JayJuanGee posts probably make the price go down.
Roach, you sound like terribly rancunous and unlogic. Why would you want BTC go to zero, if you know you can trade, in your case to acquire metals? Probably a plan that did not work out too well?
Anyway, I admit to enjoy reading all your retarded, stupid racist blurbs. Not that I consider you stupid or not intelligent. You probably are very intelligent, but with a few screws missing.

I don't drink wine I couldn't tell the difference between a $3 bottle and an outrageous bottle, seriously. Now if it was beer that's a different story.
here i gotta be very honest, but i don't taste those diffrences as well.... so i don't care to much and i just almost like every wine that i drink....
but i was talking about that dry white bagel
and that i just keep it as simple as possible during BEAR-market.... (it was mean't a bit as joke
)
whatever if you know your beers, then probably your a BELGIAN fanatic, best beers are brewed right in here.
Fuck yeah Stella is my shit!
But seriously I have had quite a few Belgian double and trippels that have knocked my socks off.
I just paid my credit card off before grabbing that bagel maybe that's why I was like, oh shit.

https://aws.amazon.com/qldb/... it's basically just SQL db with a git-like journal/hash-chain indexing bolted on.
Quite clever as it provides all the functionality of those trusted central party bockchain networks without all the distributed verification/storage costs.
So a lot of totally unnecessary blockchain utility networks, ICO's, startups, etc have just been superceded, any that use central trusted parties, banks, insurance, health, etc.
They have taken all the blockchain features that do not need distributed consensus model, i.e. tangential to bitcoin, and provide them as a configurable cloud service infrastructure back-end.

We're already heading down the same path as Japan. Banks will eventually own all the U.S. mega corps, including their debt.
That's why Buffett has the largest stakes in five of the largest U.S. banks. By owning stakes in the banks, you indirectly will own the underlying mega corporations they have staked on their balance sheet.
It is even a double catch : they own the companies and the debt of the companies... . Which in case it goes wrong trickles down on our heads... .And of course that is the fundamental reason why they don 't want us to hide in BTC... .

Looks like mining remains profitable for well-run enterprises. From the article:
At the moment, Northern Bitcoin has 15 containers with 210 mining machines each. The 15 containers produce around 5 bitcoin per day at a total cost of around $2,500 dollars at the end of November 2018 and after the difficulty of solving the math problems went down by ~17 percent.Taking that number with a grain of salt without any other info except .05$ per kwh.

Looks like a "blood sausage" to me, extremely popular in Estonia in Christmas time, really delicious too.
Estonia
In Estonia, verivorst (blood sausage) is very similar to Finnish mustamakkara. It is sold and eaten mostly in winter, being a traditional Christmas food. At that time there is a large variety of verivorst in stores, ranging in different shapes and sizes. Verivorst is usually cooked in an oven, but sometimes also fried in a pan. Verivorst is often eaten together with lingonberry jam, but occasionally also with butter or sour cream. Another similar dish is called verikäkk (blood dumpling). Its popularity has decreased during the past decades (possibly because of its less appealing commercial appearance) and has mostly been substituted by verivorst.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_sausageWe also do that! it is delicious, you can eat it raw or fried. (Sometimes we make them with the blood of invaders, which we have had plenty over history).

It's currently easier to perform regulatory arbitrage using shitcoins than fiat dollars, although you could probably still do that with numerous other systems like Paypal or whatever anyway - bitcoin is just a little better at regulatory arbitrage than most others at the moment. Shitcoins are worse at regulatory arbitrage than physical metals due to their built-in Orwellian tracking system though, you just have to be in the same proxity for the metals.
But everyone knows bitcoin will be clamped down on hard until it's virtually the same as using fiat regulation-wise, except worse due to abolishing the 5th amendment with it's built-in tracking system. Doing what Bob did is only a temporary feature used to bait and switch people into this tracking system garbage. Transaction validators are designed to centralized in every single craptocurrency, so govt clamping down and regulating them, or completely controlling every aspect of them, is inevitable, and why you should never promote shitcoins over physical metals.
There are no centralized 'transaction validators' in physical metals for the govt to regulate, take over, and control as their new 1984 toy. And before some Ethereum buffoon posts to use a different shitcoin, it's 100% impossible to create a decentralized digital currency. Transaction validators will always be designed to centralize in every single one.
Until they come to your house and confiscate it. And eventually kill you in the process. Nothing is safe from powers that be.

And to be complete, we fry all that not in oil, but in the molten fat of oxes, if I say that right, means castrated bulls... .
Oxen are draught animals. Would expect the fat to be rendered from steers/bullocks instead which are raised for meat production.
There are many names, basically it is a castrated male animal. Now, to fry it makes not so much difference, in past times we also did it (in secret) with the fat of Roman, Germanic, Austrian, Spanish, Dutch, German again and again, invaders and occupiers.

Now for serious, about time somebody starts to worry about his dick. (Although I remember I first joked he was lying, he could not eat his dick, becaus it was already eaten in some Asian eugh, "Location".
If Asia stays out of the game, we probably first go down to around 2000 and then hang there untill all the miners close shop. What comes after that will be writing history about BTC and how a mixture of greed and snake oil sellers told us we went straight to 50K, xxxK and so on. While they were simply cashing out and forking shit out of their nose, in the hope te repeat their trick.

Hey, don't knock shitcoins. Tribalism aside, Bitcoin would be nowhere without them. Precisely no---where. Anyone who's ever followed correlations between dominance and BTC price will have seen that by now.
For that reason, I promote shitcoins to bitcoiners and bitcoin to shitcoiners. They don't like it but they need to swallow it
Bitcorn dictates the price. Shitcoins are just Bitcoin money flowing into shitcoins and then back. Alts would be nowhere without Bitcoin, which doesn't mean that they won't serve a multitude of roles in the future. Without alts Bitcoin would simply become the denominator for stocks, bonds, and whatnot.
And that is why shitcoins are only parasitic inflation on bitcoin. And all the hassle caused by their promotors only has dammaged the value of BTC as an asset, or store of value outside of the mainstream system. So now, here we are, bruised and bottoming every day, week lower, until we will be a note in history. I see more value in the physical bottom in my house than ever now... .

@het cryptohuis.... it amazed me that for the 5minutes that i was inside with my friend.... there was a Guy talking to be cliënt, a Guy entered and buy btc for fiat in the ATM and another Guy entered the shop as well
There is life in BTC and antwerp....
Tiens, where is it in Antwerp?
Sint Katelijne vest..... end of the meir
Going to right an update later
My parents live in Antwerp. Will check it out next time I visit. I'll make sure to bring my dad, he loves daytrading BTC :+) Thanks for the update.
so as i walked in ... and as i was waiting someone came in bought
BTC with the ATM as it was a daily thing .... i was happy to see that cause @the moment there are only 4
BTCATM's located in belgium.... the owner said that the last month 50K travelled in and out the ATM.... so not to bad for in belgium
now the owner talked to us and my first question was how can you guarantee that 10% profit each month on the investment?
so it works like transfer money or send
BTC, cause he only works in
BTCthen he daytrades and guarantee's 10% profit, so if i transfer funds and the month start he trades and makes 50% profit then each client gets 10% profit and the rest is for him the company etc, when the month end with loss or no 10% profit then he pays it from the company out.... i asked him what if i'm a big player and send you a big amount of
BTC/fiat ... and your not able to give me mine 10% ? he said i don't accept anyone that i can't cover .... as strange as it is it seems a bit of legit thing right there ....
and if the company goes bad and he's company funds runs dry and can't cover the 10% profit anymore he would send everyone a mail and stop the collaboration with he's clients, every month everybody could make his decisions of staying in or going out, so no long term commitments
whatever i like it in the streets of ANTWERP to see some
BTC LOGO's where people can go in and out as they please
don't mind the writing having a wine during the week, i know normal only the weekend or holidays etc, but have an exception
10%, in Fiat value or in BTC value?

Unless you have full visibility into all the positions he is taking, then this is indistinguishable from First Pirate Bitcoin Savings and Trust. Tread very carefully. May be ponzi.
I am going to bring them a visit in the next days. Although they have a brick and mortar shop, nothing to find in our MinFin databases, so it can be a facade for another entity. Because I also could not find a VAT number or enterprise number. And the name in the proposed contract on their website for now only returns some retired Dutch veolia employee... .

If you should find strong evidence that they are scammers, you might want to consider reporting them.
I know we generally aren't too gubermint-minded around here, but innocent people getting scammed out of their money is of course in and of itself a bad thing, plus it gives bitcoin a bad reputation.
I don 't know if I would report, I am not to gubermint indeed, or to the contrary even, I am in a fight with our taxman since 2012 lol. But sniffing them and finding out whether honest but naive, or scammers is important for me, if it were only to prevent innocent people falling in the scam. To many bad things already hampering BTC. (Not the level of Ver, Jihan&C° I know, but ok that is another dimension, not my class)

I'm going to buy a handful of shares, db won't go under. Banks are going to be making money forever.
The toxicity doesn't disappear just because they get bought or bailed out. It just makes the host toxic.
Who was one of the biggest triggers for the 2008 banking collapse ?
Royal Bank of Scotland.
Why ?
They were reasonably solvent until they "took over" ABN Amro, half of who's balance sheet was filled with toxic sub-prime securities. Like swallowing a bottle of bleach.
Similarly, whoever buys Deutsche, the experience will be like "swallowing a bottle of bleach". But maybe that's something that some people enjoy
They want to merge DB with Commerzbank? That would be merging two bottles of bleach... .

Are we starting to see people FOMO'ing?
Have no fucking idea. I am with my date tonight and I am confused where should I concentrate more my btc or naked girl laying beside me.
Lets look at this mathematically:
0 BTC + 1 Naked Girl Now = 0 BTC + 1 Naked Girl Later (maybe)
X BTC + 0 Naked Girls Now = X/2 BTC + X² Naked Girls Later
The latter formula reduces itself to:
BTC=2XNG where X is the number of BTC now and NG is whatever it is.
perhaps second variable is needed.
You're right. We can make this a collaborative project.
On a long enough timeline, you inevitably run out of NG 's. Or inverse squared to the xxxx of BTC you have.

Left-ism is a mental disorder based on inferiority complex. You do not have the right to project your mental disorder onto others and demand they conform to your insanity.
Inferiority complex huh? Seems to be the case for both the far right and the far left. Based on my observations.
The classical scale of ideology is collectivism on the far left and anarchy on the far right of the spectrum. So, no, it's mostly only leftists trying to force their views on others with threats of violence because collectivism requires everyone do/think the same thing while far right ideologies don't.
Take white separatists for instance. White separatists do not give a flying shit what black people think. They are off doing their own thing and black people can go do whatever the hell they want. But for far leftist shitlibs like HairyMaclairy, his goal is to attempt to forcibly make everyone think and act the same (communism), which can only be accomplished through violence. Leftism claims "diversity", yet it's goal is to destroy all forms of diversity, making humans equivalent to ant worker drone insects whose only purpose is to live and die as slaves of the state.
All so called leaders, wheter left or right, wheter called state or any other denomination want that.
Zero ideology and or live and let live is the thing. Very complicated and difficult for most of Homo Sapiens Sapiens. Besides that Roach, it makes nothing out at the extremes of either side, they are the same. And all of those in the middle are FUBAR.

Fair enough about reading or not reading posts.
For sure there is a mixture of good, not so good, bad and other variants... .. Also, some days, it is easier to read than others. Some days, no body can keep up with nuttin, so I would expect only a few people actually read most posts on most days, unless s/he/it really did not have anything else to do.
Even though I post a lot, and some peeps have labelled me as a bot, I still have some other things that I do. Believe it or no.
That's cool. Your posts are too good to be written by a bot; I believe that you're a smart man of 30s.

The kike's official ESF/PPT plan is to rig stocks, metals, and digital scamcoins higher in order to try and inflate away bad debt/devalue the fiats. The plan is literally "inflate all the things". But Bitcoin has been an artificially manipulated bubble by a single entity on Bitfinex + later their Tether scam ever since the price was $200, so that chart is likely what the price of shitcoins would do if the govt doesn't prop them up.
Nobody in the general public right now is buying these things; they can't afford it. The shitbag scammers at Bitfinex know this, which is why they're trying to introduce 20x and 100x leverage to artificially rig the market up, because the general public is not buying. The public already has all the digital scamcoins they want from the last run to $20k, now all they're doing is sitting on them praying someone else will buy theirs for more than they bought them for.
Gosh Roach, even your own life has been inflated beyond survival rate. Doesn 't affect your activity. Which is how HSS is conceived.

I don't know if the dude is serious, but like I said, I'm not judging. What would be a reasonable time frame for collecting the coins? 1 or 2 weeks? Minimum 50 or refund after the deadline. Then a second milestone like 1 or 2 months or an exact date and time, and possibly another one after on the way to $50k. Also what exchanges or indexes to use, or most of them maybe (bitstamp, bitcoinaverage, coinbase, preev, kraken, gemini, coindesk, etc)...
I'm not even sure what he was proposing, as ... I don't get to read all the posts, the pages fly by very fast in this thread, so I may have missed something. heheh.
He was proposing we pay 100 Bitcoin, UP FRONT - so that his, er...
magic talents would make Bitcoin 'go up'. Like he has a secret way of moving a multi-billion dollar market and making us all rich if we just pay a load of money up front.
Of course, no one here is stupid enough to give him a single satoshi, but was a slow evening and at least we had a giggle. Bless.
I would have chucked him a litecoion maybe, just for the belly laughs he gave me... until it got a little embarrassing and he threw a few insults at the WO brethren.
Seriously, escrow offer appreciated, but will not be required. Not for this sad herbert. Not for any time frame. Ever.
I am proposing that you guys pay 50% now and 50% after we are done. Yes special talents indeed ! And i do have a secret to make a Multi-Billion Dollar market skyrocket, if you do not pay you will never know.
We could not care less about your giggles dear Mister neither we care about your feelings !
If you guys let this opportunity pass then you will regret it later on.
It hurts and bothers when someone makes the rules in the opposition doesn't it?
We do not need escrow, 2 Payments - 1 Before - 1 After that is it !
Or are you guys afraid that we can actually impact the market more than you "Whales"?
I repeat if you do not try you will never know how great of a group we are ! Crying about the upfront payment and annonymous conditions will get you nowhere.
We as a group came out of the blue and will go like that as well, but you guys will never know the potential of our work and willpower !
It will take 365 days but we will make every second worth it

Or are you guys afraid that we can actually impact the market more than you "Whales"?
I repeat if you do not try you will never know how great of a group we are ! Crying about the upfront payment and annonymous conditions will get you nowhere.
We as a group came out of the blue and will go like that as well, but you guys will never know the potential of our work and willpower !
It will take 365 days but we will make every second worth it
Show your power first, then we will talk, or get out of here. You are boring.

Well I did my part guys. Bought a whopping 0.1BTC.
That should stop the rot.
Wishful thinking and delusions of grandeur.
Hey.. .do what you can do.
I think that several of us might be playing around with those kinds of ongoing small numbers that also can add up to a lot of value in the process of stacking.
I recall in about mid-to-late 2015, I was setting up my various buy and sell orders, and even playing around with $5 increments and I could only authorize myself to sell very small amounts, because some of my BTC portfolio had buy amounts that averaged something like $500 which was way more than the then BTC price of about mid $250-ish... so I authorized myself to sell such small amounts that were based on purchases that I had made that were sufficiently below the then BTC price.
My then girlfriend would ridicule me on a regular basis that I was wasting my time with such small amounts of selling and then subsequently buying. I kept telling her that it adds up, and really I am practicing and also generating a kind of insurance that is based on several calculations that include the size of my total BTC portfolio and also how much I make on paper when the price goes up .. but in the end, the goal was to both provide downside insurance and to stack sats (even though such "stacking sats" expression was not then in vogue).
Yes, and even after my laddered sell/buy apprentiship I kept being careful not to put the stack at risk and also being happy with as I call it, "Dust collecting".
After all, it makes 10% or something like that over a year... .

Furthermore, to be more specific about your egregiousness, you are employing

IF YOU ARE GOING TO GO DOWN GO FUCKIN DOWN SO I CAN BUY MORE
...and i thought $5k was bad.
Getting stuck at $9-10k feels so disgusting. Don't want to buy many because dunno if it is going to go up sharply or go down and create more buy opportunities.
Sorry for caps, i lost myself a bit.
Just wanted to shout.
Dude. I am DCAing a leveraged long position right now. Very low leverage - well under 1:1. My current dollar cost average is $10,500 and I am totally relaxed because every slight chip down in the price just lowers my DCA.
Adapt to the price. Don’t fight it. We are in a bull market. The price will go up again. You will have what you are looking for.
Suddenly I feel very comfortable about my dollar, Euro in my case, average cost. I always tought that since I only took the step in early 2017 after the Gox debacle that had driven me out, I must be on the higher level of average cost among WO habituees... . And actually, by taking JJG ladder strategies and tactics serious, my average cost is lowering month after month. (Except if we hang around with only some red-green dildo battles of course).

Hey, Ludwig Von. I have no reason to doubt your proclamations in regard to having had prepared yourself for either BTC price direction, and therefore your speculation regarding "down before up" is going to carry a decent amount of more credibility, at least in terms of your not talking your books.
However
(you see that there is nearly always a "however" hahahaha), I'm still a bit reserved in capitulating to any kind of "down before up" assertion or to give it much credence in terms of expectations.
Just seems to me that, at this time, there would be a lot more pleasure for bitcoin (to the extent that baby can feel pleasure), to punish those "down before uppers" because baby
BTC does not really seem like she wants to comply with pattern expectations, especially when there are a decent number of "smart than thou" people who seem so damned inclined to treat baby
BTC as a mature asset class, and in the heart of hearts of a decent number of actual smart money folks, there remains a decently strong recognition (even if not outwardly shown) that she is merely a baby, and babies don't really tend to behave how you would prefer them to ... those lil fucks.
You are absolutely right. Just adjust a bit, I am trading in small size, a little bit of my stash, well, small stash, and only looking at a bit of Euro in reserve while keeping BTC going up. And in macro view, I have a feeling that all major world fiat currencies are trying to melt down all together, they also love each other after all... .

How are they going to know that you are holding crypto if you do not publicly disclose your addresses? It's only possible if someone is willingly paying their tax and one should do so.
KYC. At some point most people have to get on a gateway to convert fiat to crypto and, at least in the developed countries, those are increasingly requiring stringent identification. Additionally there are some smart people that are already creating tools to track wallet movement and they can use a variety of techniques to tie those to people and groups. Basically, it wouldn't be smart to count on avoiding the taxman.
The taxman is not interested in our crypto holdings, because they are not taxable. That is why we do not need to declare anything. The legal concept is that we buy gold or crypto with already income taxed fiat.

If somebody could pull an average diagonal line and add in some future predictions?
That’d be great!
Edit: seems to be 2.45x on average. So next year is 25k then 125k...
Yeah but please pay attention this is just September 3 price and we all know what happened in December 2017

LoL
yesterday talking about to BCH with source link final result got Red trust from Lauda
Why do you keep responding to posts about Bcash here... as if you are sympathetic to bcash or feeling sorry for yourself in regards to your tag.. we don't care about bcash, here....
Regarding your red trust, you gotta move on, if you are capable...
The problem is that it is likely that what Lauda had observed regarding your bcash sympathies happens to be true. If you are not capable of moving on and/or proving yourself and your purpose to be otherwise, then I have difficulties in speculating how you would get your red trust removed.... Lauda is not likely to back off of her decision to red mark you unless you were to clearly and unequivacolly either reform your ways or to show through your posting behavior that her assessment might have been premature. Repetitive complaining about it, including even attempting to blemish Lauda, which a lot of shills and trolls resort to, is certainly NOT going to help matters... and would just end up re-enforcing any resolve from Lauda to keep the red trust... that's my thinking. In other words, members enjoy a considerable amount of discretion regarding their employment of redtrust.
Edit: Exhibit A below
Heads up! I'll be recording a discussion on economics with Dr. Craig Wright & Prof. Steve Keen next Tuesday.
We're focusing only on economic views & solutions, rather than #Bitcoin history/technical - but if you have a burning question you'd like to ask, reply with it here.

https://twitter.com/BitcoinSVtrain/status/1169577318487953408Do you believe that anyone here, besides the Bcash trolls and shills, gives any ratt's ass about anything that fraudster Craig Wright has to say, on any topic? Get real. You are in the wrong thread with that nonsense.

The first major resistance for the shorterm is marked with the yellow area. Around 10.800 Usd to 11.000 Usd, it depends when it gets there.
Well, bitcoin reacted around $10.950 . Just as we thought, the first major resistance between $10.800 and $11.000 was really there.
Well, that was fast!

The next 24 hours is hypercritical.
Our fates are intertwined with whether we end up 5 dollars over or under 10300.
If 10305 is surpassed we could hit 10310 in a matter of days, jarring the the global fiat financial system in such ways as could pit all the governments of the world instantly against us as bitter enemies.
If 10295 is breached prepare for a plunge over the next week to 10290 as bears attempt to finish off Bitcoin once and for all.
Our best course of action is to slowly and steadily climb to 10305 over the next 4 months so as not to rock the global financial boat too much and attract too many get rich quick and ponzi schemer types.

For our purposes, somewhere that has already decided to tax bitcoin at a rate that you find reasonable. Denmark as yet does not tax bitcoin, but they will. I anticipate it will be at least 60%. I know my country.

Bitcoin is not gold - even though you are likely correct that there are going to be plenty of attempts to manipulate bitcoin in the same kinds of way. A relevant and material question remains about whether there is going to be the same or similar levels of success in manipulating bitcoin as there has been with Gold. I would not assume the latter before it has had a sufficient and reasonable opportunity to play out and to be sufficiently and adequately tested. Let's see... let's see.
By the way, Ludwig Von, let's assume that you are correct about the ultimate manipulation success of various traditional financial tools to adequately and meaningfully manipulate BTC into a kind of meaningless oblivion: how long do you believe that such meaningful manipulation is going to play out before it achieves success? 2 years? 5 years? 10 years? 20 years? Can we still benefit by being in BTC in the meantime while we are monitoring the level of meaningful manipulation of BTC and whether it will actually play out?
In other words, my questions are still implying a BIG so what to your hypothetical because we should not assume the second part and even if the second part will play out, as you suggested, we have time to still both benefit from the shorter term and to be able to get out of BTC if we recognize some actual meaningful interference with bitcoin's actual use case(s) due to such manipulation (that hypothetically ends up being successful).
As you said, we will see. And my scepticism goes in the first place to the intentions of big money. As it reads in the Fortune article, they intend to "Stabilize" BTC. Whatever that may mean. I remember having read similar things about the CME thing. Now, as for me, no problem if they burn their asses on BTC, after all, it 's what they deserve... .

You really believe that bitcoin gives two shits about the CME thing? Do you really believe that the launch of the CME actually caused BTC's 2018 correction?
In other words, fuck their claims of being able to successfully be able to stabilize (or manipulate BTC prices). Sure, on a personal level, you might want to make sure that you are prepared for some of their possible success in that direction, but I would not short change myself in my preparedness for BTC prices to go up and their stupid ass attempts at manipulation and stabilization to not be as successful at they fantasized to be able to achieve.
Oh no, in fact I think they overestimated their impact. And indeed, there were a whole lot of other events that caused the blow off top. (Just as there was a lot of irrationallity on the upramp). And as it happened, it was bliss for me. (Just the quasi winter that followed was not so nice). And I do only prepare for upwards, big upwards, but not to fast. In ladders with small steps!

Good news YangGang. Our outspokenly pro Bitcoin/Crypto future President Andrew Yang has regained 3rd place again in Democratic Nomination betting markets.
He was briefly overtaken by Hillary Clinton and put into fourth as she stirred up speculation that she will run again. However Yang has conquered her and Biden and Warren are next on the hit list.
https://www.predictit.org/markets/detail/3633/Who-will-win-the-2020-Democratic-presidential-nominationTrumps prospects look dimmer by the day as his own homies Foxnews have released a poll saying 51 percent of Americans back Impeaching and removing him from office.
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/fox-news-poll-record-support-for-trump-impeachmentWhoever is the Dem nominee will likely be the 46th pres imo and imo that man is Andrew Yang. We can expect the debates to get unprecedented ratings as people realize how vulnerable Trump is. As America turns its gaze towards Yang he will surge in popularity as he exposes the other candidates as too old, too out of touch, or too much of a corporate whore.

sad to say but the Brits opened the Pandora's box with this weak "Leave" vote in 2016. Scotland is preparing a second independence referendum. the Empire is gone forever. the oldest democracy of the world is destroyed. oh my goodness!
#emotionsarerealAs far as I am informed, the democratic thing was after Cromwell, a rather, ugh, cruel thing, and only became an empire because of very undemocratic actions after that "Democratic" thing happened. (And is now a slandering thing on it 's ordinary people). No way out, for the Umpire... . To be clear, no way out for EU or US neither. Except infighting to death of all... .

Maybe in the end, we are on similar grounds when the vast majority of our BTC holdings is in the background in HODL status rather than playing around with it?
Yes. I don't even consider myself a trader, since it is a side activity - small stake and a small income - and I get out of trading for longish stretches of time.
Same here, I even do not short-long positions, only limits, based on pure intuition, no TA, just looking at what the whole world is doing... . (Well advised by JJG about ladders up and down). 75% works out well, 25% fails. No point. BTC goes up, ADC sometimes goes up, sometimes goes down. All in all, no other investment would have returned what corn honeybadger did. But let 's not forget : it is unrealised profit as long as we live in a fiat world. (That is why I still hold significant in gold) Not to please Roach, be assured of that!

I'm willing to escrow this deal.
Collect 1593 ETH (and I wonder, why not 35 BTC instead). Wait for BTC to hit $35k on named exchange or site (bitstamp? bitcoinaverage?) within specified time frame. Maintain that level for a few days or go even higher. Release ETH to them. Or refund everyone if pump fails.
There's gotta be a time frame.

And oh, maybe add another 5 BTC from yourself to make it total 40 BTC. So if the pump fails, I can at least pay everyone else a little more. (divided among all contributors.)
If all parties accept, I can write up a GPG signed contract later and embed a BTC or ETH address.
Escrow or no Escrow both is fine by us. But expect us to run at a minimal efficiency without Money, just like a Motor runs good for a while without OIL then just siezes. We expect to lure customers into Coinbase and various other "Trusted" Exchanges. Why ETH? Well we were the Opinion that BTC might be just too valuable for this job at this time but we ofcourse would accept Bitcoin as a form of Payment as well !
But yes Escrow is a great way to secure the funds of People who are willing to fund this job just in case we fail ! However, rest assured that we are not the type of guys who are looking to fail or give up
Kind a funny thing : we will invest, through Dabs securing our investment, to pump to 35K. Without time frame. So as everyone here knows, it will happen anyway. So we do away our precious, just to wait for the inevitable and then reward you 5 fold of what we invested? Sounds as you are not only sniffing ETH but also hoping we do te same... . I will sit on the sideline, except if you, as Dabs mentioned, have a clear timeframe that frontruns the finally inevitable... .

Brexit won’t happen on 31st October. The opposition party Labour have fucked that up for everybody by voting against the proposed timescale.
I doubt we will see $10,000 in under 10 days time.
Depends, if the EU parliament doesn't accept the proposed deal the UK crashes out on the 31
The EU parliament already accepted the proposed deal, just as the Brit parliament did today. Now they just play over another delay. Which Barnier and Stuka Juncker and Verafstoot said they would not allow. (According to Boris the wolf). What will happen is : nothing. Brexit will only happen when the whole Brussels am Berlin shithouse goes down in flames. Caused by troubles in their PIGS low wage tourist resorts. Meanwhile, we wil continue to be trampled around in Brexshit.

Was just reading from @100trillion iirc that tools like futures and gbtc are created to suppress Bitcoin's price. Since they do not own actual BTC but still want to short it. The long of this is, Bitcoin's price might not be Bitcoin's price, gamed prices and timelines.
However, if the system can't be changed or protected from evil, speculative forces, what would possible solutions for hodlers and adopters look like?
Since these casino games do not involve real BTC, then who are the actors in the real BTC that can suppress the price, in order to support the casino games? There is more here than we see. If I not mistake, the CME guy said that they wanted to take volatillity out. Ugh ogh, really? They are gaming equally in BTC in order to support their casino games. So we will have to get along with that.

If i dont understand wrong, to supress the price you need actual selling of BTC.
Some morons betting on btc price (cash settled future contracts) cant affect the price.
BUT it seems they managed to get a selling counterpart (baaad whale).. They bet on a low price, and in the other side they actually sell BTC. Then the whale rebuys lower. (rinse and repeat)
Rigged game. They win, we suffer observing walls...
The thing is most of these morons don’t know what the halving is & the effects that the reduced supply will have on the price post halving.
Loads of them will get fucked in the ass financially when the parabolic rise starts, probably in 2021. These noobs can’t suppress the honey badger.
You can’t control what can’t be controlled. Let them have their fun for now, they’ll get screwed eventually.
Whales know what halving is. And are no morons, they would not be whale, no?

Quite the opposite. From the way I described things anyone can see we live in a matriarchal, gynocentric civilization. But civilizations are always built by men. A matriarchal one is dysfunctional and collapses, so the only way for it not to collapse is to change it back to a patriarchy. But there are certain (((elements))) that want to place bimbo women and 60 IQ minorities in every position of power in order to cause that collapse.

I don't think you people understand how the world works. There are central planner, half baked technocrats that have calculated the carrying capacity of earth being a lot lower than current population, so their idea is basically collapse areas of western civilization on purpose so it will turn back into agrarian land and all the people will die (Agenda 21 and other such programs). So you then have evil cult of Judaism members walk up and say "Oh? Killing all white Christians on purpose like we did in the Bolshevik revolution in Russia? Yea, let's do that".
These demonic Jews then team up with the malthusian technocrats - of which the Jews have zero inclination of getting rid of their own kind, just exterminating white people out of hatred - so the Malthusian technocrats just wind up being useful idiots for the Bolshevik Jews in genociding their own. None of this is actually necessary since K-selection whites and NE Asians self regulate their population growth, which is why places like Russia and US whites are declining in population already.
The only factor that has to be addressed to stop out of control population growth is to not subsidize R-selection brown people from reproducing out of control by cutting off aid to places like Africa and not allowing them in to white civilizations.
My question was : "What is your contribution to the procreation of the "white Christian" people? I did not ask about your ideological general view of humanity, my question is personal... .

So I've been mucking around with an embroidery machine for the last week and what initially was an effort to produce a
BTC logo for my hat has become much more. I created these with the WO members in mind and I've thoroughly enjoyed the crafting time. I'd like to share these with all of you if you'll have them. Yes, for free.
Most are ready to go patches for sew on or glue on.
The plain
BTC logos in the bottom image (upper left side) are on a tear away backing that leaves only the
BTC after applying. Some are on on cotton that can be cut away.
Please PM or email me an address and you're welcome to choose any patch you like, (first come, first serve)
If you'd like to preserve your opsec, set up a burner email address and send only the shipping address where you'd like to receive.
wallobserver@protonmail.comI'll choose a design at random if none is specified. Size reference, the large patches in the center are 4 inches round 10cm.
I'll likely do more in the future and I'm open to trying or personalizing your design. Let me know your ideas.

Can easily tell BTC was going to drop today. Long vs shorts are way too high, and ESF Jewish central bankers just rigged metals down while rigging stocks up. It blatantly obvious the same kikes have been attempting to try and rig BTC to the same up and down cycles as metals, so here comes the ESF trying to rig Bitcoin down at the same time they manipulate metals too.
These fucktards don't seem to quite understand that under NO CIRCUMSTANCES will I ever dump metals to buy overpriced stocks, and digital shitcoiners are all mentally insane and think the price is going to $1 trillion each so never will either. They'd dump shitcoins for metals way before stocks. There is NOBODY looking to be a stock or bond bagholder no matter how much manipulation they do.

I had coloscopy once, without any meds or narcotics. I certainly didn't enjoy it, but it also wasn't a very bad experience at all. A couple of kinda numb feeling pinch-like shoots of light to medium pain sensations, nothing that gets you worried. The "hose" is 10mm thin, so even thinner than an index finger.
Get over your fears and get it done. Don't worry you might enjoy it, because you won't.
Taking pills before coloscopy is something for the ladies
(sorry ladies, no offense)
EDIT: Just saw the dump. Unexpected, but not that of a surprise, too. #hodl on!
Civilized colonoscopies are done with intravenous diazepam, inducing a dreamlike half sleep which allows you to watch the procedure on the monitor without any discomfort. You don't even feel the insertion.
The worst part is the day before, evacuating your colon with a gallon of disgusting fruit-flavored laxative/electrolyte solution and shitting increasingly lighter-colored liquids until it's clear.
F*ck that, i had to swallow 25g of mannitol (a sugar, used in some sugarfree chewing gums), dissolved in two litres of water.
No defined taste at all. But i suffer from fructose malabsorption and didn't know that back then, as well as i can't digest mannitol and sugar alcohols because of that.
The thing itself was acceptable as an experience, but the rest of the day was a nightmare because of the malabsoption effects.
And for the diazepam: I only do
real drugs, and never intravenous
La dame du chateau had to do it just two days ago. She also found the worst part the day before having to drink the disgusting liquid. And I think they used some form of diazepam in the operation here, because afterwards she was a little sleepy off... .

Given Trump seems actively involved in trying to cover up US cases of Covid-19, I now think there is a better than 50% chance this will bring him down.
Maybe. He scrapped the pandemic team in 2018. Then the tests they were using (in spite of tried-and-tested better ones being available) didn't work.
Also, they have only managed to test around 6,000 people, while the UK has tested 25,000 and other countries are way ahead (Korea is at 170,000). This is more concerning.
Not testing means figures for 'cases' are meaningless. It does not mean 'there are no cases' if no large scale testing is in place.... and with no centralised chain of command to collate data and coordinate efforts, things are not looking like they got off to a good start. Plus 28% of people have no easy access to any healthcare and, oh yeah - with no statutory sick pay rules, people have an incentive to go to work rather than stay at home if they are ill.
America is at risk of being found systemically ill-prepared.
I am guessing we are about to see how a
lack of a universal care system (not the norm in first world countries) works in a real time experiment.
Then again if it is #justaflu, I am sure it will all be OK and Trump will come up smelling of roses, he seems just the man for the job.
EDIT: @HM I think you covered a little extra than I first read - and better than I did.
Trump will go down together with his Titanic stock market, his comedia del arte energy indepency and be shot midship by the little critter with bubble needles!

UK 206 2 0.97%
2 deaths from 206 positivies is a 0.097%. If they were using a simple spreadsheet that kind of error should not happen. That's why we can not trust any of those figures, and much less the skewed stats used as a data source.
No country or regime is providing correct data. All is massaged to avoid panic. We see per day cases, deaths, recovered but not the number of people tested... .

Neither Biden or Sanders will be alive in November if they stay on the campaign trail.
Both are in the high risk elderly category and have serious underlying health problems (Sanders heart, Biden bood pressure (heart?)) and being on campaign trail it will be impossible to self-isolate from the SARS2 virus. Meeting with staff, public, pressing hands at fund-raisers they will be maximally exposed to social networks, it's part of the job description.
If I was a betting man I would put some money on the Democratic contender for president will NOT be Sanders or Biden, possibly someone under-60, Tulsi Gabbard? Pete Buttigieg?
Lol, I thought neither Biden or Bernie would get to the election, even without the little critter... . I would love to see Tulsi, she appears to be the only one with some sort of a brain. But I am afraid we might rather see Hillary coming like the dark witch... . Btw, if things continue as of present, Donald may also disappear before election day... . That is of course, if there will be an election day!. Now, ok, we all have one thing in common : we 're all screwed by the critter! How unifying that is!

Can’t imagine myself being the complete moron of selling my coin as cheap as they are now....
The selling is not done by people who need the fiat now. This is different. I don 't know what it is though.

I wouldn’t want to tell a new girl I was into bitcoin right now. She’d probably call me a loser

Gold is down too.. So are dow futures..
Where is the money going?
It's a good question. ans: USD
... the demand for USD is so high that the repo market froze up. Fed had to pump in first $150billion then upped that to $500 billion (rolling over in a month) another $500 billion rolling over in 3 months and promises for another $500 billion cash in a months time.
bottom line, there is a YUGE bubble in USD fiat and everything else is getting dumped.
Only time can tell where it goes from here. Place your bets, USD fiat, stocks, bonds, crypto, land ... nobody knows the value of anything any longer but they are trained to shelter in USD when they are scared so that's what they do ... even though it is a shared illusion of value.
Fortune favours the brave.
Nobody is going to bail them out, no matter how much funny money is printed, as nobody is going to bail us out. We wil sit down, look and see... .
