Nice move. I'm surprised such a security measure hasn't been implemented years ago, when the trade of valuable old accounts started to take off.

Watched the first one. It was a kind of sick genius. Couldn't face any more though.
Oink.

E see we can pre-claim the BTG coins. Has anyone done this? Is it legit?

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

is this the s-curve take off?

Liquidity is not over yet. We are on the Stairway to the Moon and every step we make is going to cost a lot more every time. 6k bounced pretty soon but it'll come back.
Only one thing worries me a bit: upcoming forks. I was not afraid of BCH but I fear 2x. We have to live to see it.

Yep. Not a peep from Theymos or Cyrus.
This was the link I sent to them
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=996318.msg21177226#msg21177226
And the message I sent them was signed with the same BTC address.
Go figure?

When I was a valet I was driving someone's corvette out of the parking garage. The dumbass in front of me had to back up for some reason, the parking gate was right behind me and I had to back up so the gate was just above the trunk. People were honking, pointing at me and I'm like...I fit.

When I got the car to the lady and stepped out she started freaking out. "What did you do to my antenna!?!".

oops

Difficulty adjustment is too slow in BTC. Fees will increase massively or the chain may freeze with unbearable transaction times.

Thanks. I did read the pages earlier, but felt the info was a bit confusing on what to do. I read them again now, and I think all info needed is contained in the following steemit page:

https://steemit.com/crypto-news/@xwerk/bitcore-btx-guide-the-2nd-snapshot-for-btc-hodlers-free-btx-or-how-it-works

Will empty my current wallet (seed) of all coins first, and then do the BTG and BTX splitting. Will let everyone know what happened, so that anyone wanting to do the same can have some reassurance on the correct procedure to follow.

The official https://coinmarketcap.com/
shows BTC at 1009!

Happy 10K HODLERS!!

Thanks to /u/PAdogooder and /u/futuneral on Reddit for auctioning these off. Very limited number created IIRC.

Anybody who sells into a massive drop like this needs their head looking at. Why would you sell now?

I bought several BTC several years ago while it was in the $200-700 range.  (wish I bought more)

I am up, and I can afford to lose the initial investment if I have to.

I think it will recover, and continue to the moon and beyond, especially when the LN is widely adopted.  

The LN will be a big boost to the price because instead of just a store of wealth (for me) BTC will also be a usable currency.

It is only a matter of time, and this bear phase will end.

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.

Wile E Coyote rocket crashing...

Most of us bought many coins below $1000. This is fucking annoying, sure. It’s delaying me from buying a nice, big house & never having to work again but long term the price will recover & we’ll all be able to carry out the plans we had at the last ATH.

I think when the price was $19,000 I was HODLING over 35 x my initial investment in bitcoin. **Just quickly worked out** - I now HODL 16-17 x my total investment.

It’s bad but it could be a hell of a lot worse. $20,000 will be back in a year or two & then I hope/expect to see $50,000 per coin by the end of 2021. I’m probably going to sell most of my coins then tbh.

Double bottom perhaps?

 Good fit too.

No.

The small dumps we just had are from the same guy who's pumping and dumping bitcoin for weeks now.

If he want he can dump bitcoin to 8.000$ in hours from now. But he wont..Last hours he always make slow dumps to around 8600$ to reload his bags.

I Can give more details why i'm sure 99% hes not going to dump the price below 8500-8600 But i wont give the details of his pump and dump stategy, because if i explain it in details here and he turn to be here reading me, he can change it in the future.

So i'm 99% Sure we wont get less than 8500-8600 And that hes reloading @ 8600 And @8700 For hours now.

Well There is 1% Chance he can change his strategy, but i bet on his same patterns strategy for weeks now

-if you sell, it'll be the bottom.
-if you buy, it'll be the top.

That's the way it usually goes.

bottom out already - im close to think there will be a multi-year bear ahead of us till 2020  

Dude... C'mon... Not cool IMO... Be reasonable.

If your account was just stolen, recently, then it seems likely that you should be able to get it back, so I would NOT give up, yet.

Hopefully, they (admin) will freeze (or lock) your original account in order to sort out the matter?

This is actually my second account, my first I lost access to.

What should I Plan to theymos and how often?

From nov. 10th 2017 to nov. 12th, BTC went from about $7500 to $5500 (didn't stay long at this price) and then boom... so who knows ?

I wasn’t planning on selling any until about 2021 so nothing has changed.

No one can predict the future but another stat shows we are kind of hitting the bottom.

What the fuck chart are you looking at...perhaps you are sitting upside down?

Okay, okay, hang on... We are rich. Now or in a few years doesn't matter, we can pick and choose. And maybe it's just the pickle in me, but of those? I only want the leftmost one. The others are TOO DAMN FAT on their ass. Looks like a hormonal problem to me. Men get fat in the belly, women get fat in the ass and upper legs. It's just no good. Especially when they don't have boobs to match, like the washboard on the right. And that's science, kids.

Not if you spend enough $$$ on them

My girl had them about 6-7 years ago. Need to replace them in about 3 years.

You guys!

Are you ignoring the price on purpose?!

Never ignoring the price!

Look at this motherfucker, started accumulating in July till Semptember. From 0 to 200+btc.

MOTHERFUCKER

I'm accumulating too!

I have decided to write about what have been my errors during the past bull run and subsequent downtrend till now.

First and foremost, when the time comes take some fucking profits. It doesn't need to be huge and it certainly would vary depending the individual circumstances but take some. It will make you feel better during the bear trend. It may be as low as 5%, 10%.... maybe a bigger amount if you plan to "gamble" on rebuying later in the downtrend.

How do you know when the time has come? Well, hitting a perfect top is just a matter of luck but, hitting somewhere NEAR the top is much more easy:

- You start receiving calls from nocoiners that are now suddenly interested in investing. They usually ask you for advice on what coins are a good buy... because Bitcoin is already too expensive you know....

- Exchanges can't cope with the demand. The trading engines not only lag extremely, but the verification queue for new users are weeks or even months long. Some even stop accepting new users.

- You start to feel that the rise has reached completely ridiculous levels and it should implode.... But since you already thought that a few thousands ago... why would it not keep pumping much more? Yeah, you feel like you are going to be richer than your wildest dreams!

- You start to feel not only as if you did a great investment but as if you had just hit some fucking and totally undeserved big lotto prize.

- You feel that the price has come so much higher than you would have expected (in that short timeframe) that, even when the necessary "correction" comes, the bottom will still be so high that you won't care about not having sold ANY... Because, you know, this time (tm) Bitcoin is so well known and popular that price would not decimate, maybe not even halve (and of course that $10K you never expected to be broken so soon nor so easily will act as an ultimate support in the worst case, yeah!).

I could add more signals of when the top has been reached or is very near, but I guess that's more than enough to get the idea.

This is getting long, so I think I will better be writing this as a series of posts... Some ideas I have in mind about more mistakes I did and how to improve on them are:

- Realising you are in a clear downtrend and what to do during it.
- Hedging with alts during the bullrun, near the top, and on the downtrend. Hedging with stablecoins (ie USDT).
- Managing exchanges and FIAT ramps for profit (diversify risk and get them all ready well in advance)...
- Lending

I am writing this as advice for my future self, but hope it gets useful to someone else. Will continue.

I'll try again. As futile as that may be...

I think i reckon you’re number to be 50K ..... 

There are so many smart people in crypto that often everyone tries to outsmart each other.

The simplest investment is likely to be the most important one.

BUY CORN

LTC usually shows what BTC will do later.. have you seen the chikun moves lately?

edit:
forum warned about other msgs being written.. didnt know they were all about LTC rising..
Coincidence?? i dont think so...  

‘The year is 2024, bitcoin is valued at $254,000 per coin. Bob wakes & rubs his tired, weary eyes. The sun shines through the windows of Bob’s $16,000,000 beach view mansion. Bob rolls over & cuddles his man from behind, his lover JayJuanGee holds Bob’s hand & they smile, happy & content with life’.



The sexual tension between you two is increasing

A bit dumb, I'm for sure selling at 48,000. You know there will be a rejection dump at 50k.

Well nobody new is buying at the moment, let alone $3B of new money. Down we go.

Cool, apparently you managed to find the full article from theblockcrypto. I tried but couldn't find it.
Very bullish news !

Variants of Satoshi's logos, which were presented on Reddit. Which one do you like better?

Is this another slow grind up to $4,000 before some asshole pulls the plug on us & we tumble all the way back to $3,500 / $3,600 in about 30 minutes later in the week?

from a discord

It's you.

I have noticed that you have a kind of negative nancy pattern of seeing bitcoin price direction related things.

Well, Roach, you are so out of tune with bitcoin that you sold all of yours below $700, so of course, when it went to $10k, you had to attempt to make an analogy to something that you knew, and you still don't seem to realize that you are using the wrong analogies with regard to bitcoin.

Quite. Rejected.

wait sorry javi did not realise you've been here since Aug 2013.
my respect and apologies

This is my 12,000th post. I always like to post something in this thread when it’s a landmark post count for me so take a look at our fucking future gentlemen

Soon......

Interesting theory. Nothing to back it up, but whatevs.

Oh did I say BCH was up 27% in the last 24 hours. I was wrong. It is up over 45% in the last 24 hours.

Well, if this was a planned bear attack, it was doomed before it started. The general mood is very positive, and traders do not recongize any historic resistance all the way to 6K. So the battle for $5K is pointless. Bulls already won it!

This is embarrassing.
UBS is a global bank, willing to compete on a planetary scale for financial domination, and all one of his analyst can produce is a really cheap analysis on historical returns of completely unrelated assets on different times?
I am fairly surprised I didn’t read the word “tulips” in this piece.

Hey guys, I just landed at Haneda airport in Tokyo.
It's already late here and I'm f... tired so I'm not gonna do anything tonight.
I just wanted to post a cool thing I saw at the airport.
Some of you probably heard about a store called Bic Camera. There are many of them here. They sell electronics but also some other stuff.
Well they accept Bitcoin as a payment. How cool is it that one of the first things I see here is Bitcoin related ?








I hope I can post more, much more tomorrow.

Very impressive address, STRONG-IRON hand

The more moving parts the more things can go wrong. I continue to maintain that segwit and lightning was a mistake. Bigger blocks has the same net result and there are no new potential attack vectors. Or any confusion about how the heck it all works (which nobody had clear answers for when it was asked - a big fucking red flag in any situation).

Don't be a twat, twat. Do you have any arguments or not?

Into HODLsleep not to long from now .....

Man, LED light bulbs really suck.  Bought both Phillips and GE Reveal (2700k + 2850k).  I think even CFLs might look better.  The LEDs cause all colors in the room to have this dull, gray look where colors, especially things like orange and red don't pop out at all.  Every color in the room feels like it's adjusted -20-30% saturation, then add some gray to it.  The GE reveal is supposed to be a 90 CRI (Color Rendering Index) to prevent this, but it's little improvement over the Phillips.  They also seem to have some disorentation/dizziness effect that you might find in some of the worst CFL bulbs.

There's a brand called SORAA that's supposed to be better than both, but I doubt it comes anywhere near an incandescent in terms of lighting qualify.  If you get a 800 Lumens LED bulb, it feels as uncomfortable as being next to a 1200 lumens incandescent while using the computer.  The GE Reveal is ONLY 650 Lumens and still feels uncomfortably harsh and as irritating as sitting next to a 1000 lumens incandescent while reading or whatever.  I'm guessing the only one that would be remotely bearable are the 550 Lumens SORA ones, but like I said, still probably suck compared to incandescent.

Let’s not get ahead of ourselves now

6100 burst-through. Traders worldwide realising that bitcoin is not a paper derivative and there are only a limited number of them.

I'm just not used to you saying "Hilarious, and surely loving it" in less than 700 words.

The move is going too fast. It will break if not already the case. Buyers will be wondering where their $100k Bitcoin is. Delusion and sorrow will spread. Price will be sideways and choppy for months/a year. No one will touch the Bitcoin for considerable time. At least, not the masses who’s influx should bring us towards $100k.

Or do you think moms and pops are buying into and causing the current rally?

We were expecting a 30% drop for a correction.

It happened, but it lasted for only some minutes, which confirms we are still in a bull market.

The bears got out of their cave and are parading in the streets, drunk and screaming victory. Funny.

Good morning WO,s

If an Argentinian had bought Bitcoin at the highest point of the "biggest bubble in history", in 2017, he would have been better off than leaving his money in  his Argentinian bank account. So tell me again how Bitcoin is a horrible store of value.

Bitcoin is at all time highs in Argentinian Pesos (ARS). That's inflation for you lol

And btw the dip to 6k was mentioned on May 12 but just as a possibility, with an explicit "maybe/who knows".

I just bought £500 worth so you can thank me for the cheap coins because it’s bound to go down now, it always does shortly after I buy

What is that DT1 that ya'll celebrating?
I honestly don't know.
Must be something important.
In this case, congrats.

Nobody said anything about inflation.  You erroneously claimed "21 million coins" constitutes a Schelling point for Bitcoin.  You're making shit up on the fly.  You can have infinite different forks all with a 21 million coin count.  There is no Schelling point in shitcoins.  Stop constantly lying.  It's also 100% guaranteed for Bitcoin to be co-opted by the state since transaction validators are designed to centralize, not that the state wasn't involved in it's creation in the first place.

The B4 RS4 2.7T Avant was a beast for the day.  I never got into the V8 version. Not even sure what is under the hood now?

Caught in a landslide

If we’re at nearly $10,000 eleven months BEFORE the halving what kind of price will we be at a year AFTER the halving?

 

It's been a great day guys!
Happy to be a Bitcoiner.

I will take a break to see where we are going from here.

Come on bitcoins!

I don't approve ETH. That's a shitcoin.

If you sold a lot at $10, why did you buy them originally ? $10 was an early stage price.

they opened at 10925 and their prior settle was at 9980

And I'll be 73.

Whats wrong with that? Keeps showing the same price, it's stuck or something?

If I try to force it to fit, this is what it looks like.  A brief dip below $10k then non-stop run to moon.  Which is nice but seems rather optimistic.

Not sub 10k yet on @stamp.. but it seems a matter of hours/minutes.  

Ok ok, lets get the meme party ready for next breakout of the 5 digits
