You shouldn't let someone else suggesting you your trades.
Personally, I'm short.

I will always short after 20-30% runup in 12 hours. Most of the time it gives an opportunity to buyback.

But man - now it's not the time to short.

Well, I am aiming for 3% clear increase in BTC volume per day - it compounds quite quickly, without being TOO hard to achieve, but my last 3 buy-ins were literally *just* before hard market drops, so I have failed this week, completely - hence why I need a 120 peak, followed by a drop to around 110 to get a good outcome. (I'll still be around 7BTC short of this weekends target)
It hasn't stopped me fighting though!
good luck (EDIT prepare for big losses)

Following things in this thread has given me a better insight into the overall market movements, so I am now able to predict trends slightly better now - but I think it'll take me a long time to perfect things - if I ever manage it.

EDIT: Oh, I am already prepared for those - I've had enough already XD

I'm not a trader. But Bitcoin teach me alot. It took me 4 months until found "winning" strategy.

Don't think this is happening. No way he is dumping his coins on a Sunday, I would wait until at least Monday, and I won't be surprised if the dump happens on Wednesday. On a weekday that wall has a real chance to trigger a rally.

BTC market is really a joke, $2M usd and a few thousands coins are really enough to move the market at your will, I guess that's why we have so many traders posting how "fun" is BTC when compared to "real" stock markets and "mainstream" currency trading

If you know simply math then
1. 11M btc exists
2. if somebody can buy 15k btc then there is NOT more than 11M/15k = 734 traders trading this amount (700 traders are not mainstream)
.

.
3.  80% bitcoiners hold bitcoin for long ->  there are maximum 74 traders what can afford sell 15k btc

Do you want buy HIGH ? Do you want sell LOW ?
Anybody who want buy high and sell low ?

Everybody want to buy low sell high, ... in zero-sum game it is impossible. 99% will lose 1% will make profit.

I'm still sitting on the money from selling at $98.99.  Hope I get a chance to get back in today Smiley


sometimes you eat the bear
sometimes the bear eats you

True.  I've used a strategy of taking wins instantly and waiting 24 hours before taking losses.  If I stick with that, I have 3 hours before I accept the loss of 9 Bitcoin and buy back in at market rate :-(

Drop from $238 to $104 .. only 4 hours. :-)

Push the buying...this will fall like crazy!

113 now... Nothing to push it up. BTC has lost the faith at higher prices.

We want a stable currency not a crazy one.

Let it go down and it will be stable then.

It is stabilizing, right where we are.  

You might say that BTC has gained the faith at any lower prices.   It's called consolidation.   If bid sum was falling during consolidation, then we would see a breakout downwards.   It has however been rising.   More likely to breakout upwards, only there is no way to know.   I am still not all in . . .

There is way too much support growing to ever see the prices you seem to want.   The only reason to want the price down is so that you can buy in, and then what?  Celebrate when it goes up 150%?   It makes more sense that you buy in now, and gain 150% from here, and it would be better for BTC if you buy in now and "only" realize a 50% increase.

If BTC goes down as much as you want, it will do anything but stabilize.

Good points

And yeah, he wants the price to go down so he can buy more, that's what I'm saying: bulls disguised as bears everywhere Smiley

Who panic buy the first panic buy the best. :-)
Who dump the first dump the best. :-)

No one knows what to do, but every wants to be rich tomorrow.  Manipulation works (hypnotized with $) => bitcoin PRICE now looks like bitcoin VALUE.

This is pretty much my analysis too. I think there's some real powerful resistance at $90, and that breaking $80 is very unlikely unless something disruptive happens and panic is triggered (this is always a possibility with a bleeding edge technology like Bitcoin).

I therefore believe that unless something negative happens we're headed towards a consolidation phase and not a bear market. But the truth is that only time will tell.

Has Gox limited or disabled the bots?  If so, it's a bad omen when that results in almost no volume... Another indication of how much control the bots really have.

Not to my knowledge. I guess there are simply no buy/sell signals for the bots.
What should a bot do if the market is moving sideways?

The error I'm getting with my bot is certificate verification failed. God only knows what they're up to.

Edit: Looks like data.mtgox.com is using the certificate from www.mtgox.com. It's amateur hour (or four), guys.

It's interesting that news isn't affecting the price much anymore. I mean just today, http://www.gyft.com is pretty huge news. I can go to almost every retail store I normally shop at in the U.S, and pay with bitcoins through them.

Fundamentals are improving as fast as ever, regardless of what the price is doing. Now we just need some of these new exchanges to be successful.

Not affecting it immediately and clearly perhaps but you can be sure it does affect it.

As dull as it is, we need a period of nothing, calm, stability, no panics.

If we manage that for a week or so we can skip the whole slow demise we saw in 2011.

I'm not sure you can set up RULES :-)

Cyprus thing is a joke. That was just speculative mania. I will ask you something: have you invested significant money in Bitcoin? If the answer is yes, how long did it take from the first moment you heard about it?

Again: entering into Bitcoin is a lengthy process - first you have to understand, not only what is Bitcoin but also how to keep your bitcoins safe. Then you have to find out how to buy them, and then you slowly start pouring money, just a little a the beginning.

That's everybody's process. When it will come the day that the average citizen will have the understanding and the means to quickly throw a lot of fiat into Bitcoin after the kind of news we had in March, then.... Well, you cannot imagine the kind of huge motherfucking bubbles we are going to see.

I have to agree with this 100%.

It took me 1 week to put $17 cash into an envelope and mail it to canada to buy my first coins. 2 more weeks to have a miner setup and initiated a bank transfer to gox. I consider that pretty fast and that was only possible because I had all kinds of prerequisites already in place (understanding of crypto, understanding of double spend problem, understanding of p2p network). I had to talk to noone to confirm this thing was legit and most likely functional. There was no misleading press or ponzi accusations all over the net either, which should slow the process even more in this day and age.

Average nowadays is probably more like 6 weeks from first exposure to first substantial buy.

We're thinking too short-term. There's all kinds of buffers (delays) and feedback loops in this system that need time to play out.
Seconded.  If you're a goldbug libertarian with technical background and high risk tolerance, it's possible you might "get it" and buy relatively quickly, within a few weeks.  But that would be very unusual.  My experience with anyone lacking that magical quatrifecta, is that it takes months of investigating and being prodded before any action.  There are people I've been talking to about Bitcoin for almost two years, are positive about it, but still haven't pulled the trigger.

It took me more than a year of constant (weekly) highly intelligent exposure to bitcoin, before I bought any. It took an additional year and more, before I allocated a significant % of my holdings to it. I even knew of Bitcoin before Mt.Gox opened, and that was purely theoretical and did not interest me.

So expect a large percent of the ones who heard in early 2013, to buy in with significant money in 2015-2016. Unless they are slower to understand than I was, in which case it takes even longer.

I'm a little different. I first heard about bitcoin 15.11.2012.  ... 22.11.2012 I was bitcoin perma bull. :-)

We were at $165 post crash.

So the biggest risk to the market is everyone who bought in at $200-$260, who are just waiting to dump everything and exit? So wait, they rode out the biggest BTC crash in history, wait 3 months, just to sell at a loss when the price is getting back up to where they bought in? That seems like poor financial planning.

They dump coins, leave the market, people buy them up, it's not really that big of a deal. It's been going on daily for the last 2 months.

That discounts everyone who bought in at $200-$260 and are sitting on huge losses right now.  I'd assume most are looking to bail out of this market as soon as possible but have no choice but to pray for some sort of increase to at least minimize the damage.  If we should see a spike back to $160-$180, I'd expect a flood of selling at the peak as people cut their losses and run for the hills.  Don't think I need to specify what happens to the markets next...

I didn't say this was the biggest risk to the market, I said your comments don't take this into account.  No, it is not sound financial planning but I'd say those who bought in at $260, were not making a wise financial decision to begin with.  Unless of course they are planning to go long, which at this point in time, no one knows if it will be the greatest decision of all time or a flop.  But let's not pretend there isn't plenty of money that saw the huge rise and jumped in on pure greed, hoping to not miss the train and will look to cut their losses if they can.  That was my only point.

Do not worry $260 are quite cheap coins.

But yes, the convo is a bit of the other side of why some of us are not buying now. A lot of people have been speculating as to why some may or may not buy, and that we would all chase after the train if we rally from here. Been hearing a lot of that the last few days.


1. because big players created feeling of fear and pain by pumping and dumping.

I am disillusioned by just how much manipulation is going on ... it has not cost me anything, but it gives me less faith in Bitcoin and raises the risk premium


what do you expect from an unregulated market populated with a fairly large number of intelligent members? EDIT - I mean: populated by a decent demographic of early adopters with large number of coins, who, if they decided they wanted to manipulate the market probably have the brains and the skills to do so.

how much manipulation do you think goes on in regulated markets?

Fully aware of the manipulation in regulated markets ... took a while to learn enough to understand that the dynamics of Bitcoin were at least as bad

lol, are you different ?  Do you want to buy high and sell low ?
1. if you believe in Bitcoin buy and hold.
2. if you want more btc/usd then trade but some win and other must lose.  
3. wait until price rise high enough and will be stable and hard to manipulate it ( maybe 5-10 years )

The idea that people are "slowly" fleeing the market and "slowly" panic selling and that it's just an extended collapse is turning into a bad punchline. The only people left saying that are people trying to get back in at a discount.

I agree with about the oxymoronic use of 'slow' panic  Cheesy ... that don't make much sense ...
However, I dont agree that anyone who wants to buy in at a lower level than this is trying to get in at a discount. There are a lot of assumptions in that. I know that is not exactly what you said, but similar things have been said by many people, so I am just pointing it out that it ain't necessarily so. I am sure there are people running round trying to scare people so they can buy cheaper something they believe to be worth more (I see them!). Some others amongst us just don't want to buy at these prices and see too much risk here and now.

In a bubble collapse, there are often bag holders who are wary to sell at a big loss so hang on for a while and those who attempt to double-down. I got involved in one once (on the advice of someone else. I should have known better) and watched as it took about four months for my shares to drop from 40c to 1c or so after the bust.

I don't think that's what's happening with Bitcoin at all but it's simply not necessarily the case that the deflation after a bubble burst is all that quick.

In the bubble burst from $32 to $2.50 I did not sell a single coin. Instead I've been buying increasingly more thinking: "you idiots, it's just bad press, the fundamentals are sound" and so on. A bit green behind the ears I was back then.

Of course in hindsight it would've been better to sell all and buy back in at $2.50.

On the other hand I recently talked to a guy I got to know in early 2011. He had been mining and sold everything in late 2011 only to discover bitcoin had gone to 3 digits. He now says: I won't buy, it's too expensive.

Just holding on to your coins is not the best thing to do, but not the worst thing either.


Yeah, but hindsight is also 20/20. I'm pretty sure (haven't done the hard maths, and probably won't cause it's the weekend) that if you start from the premise that you'll trade successfully only 50% of the time, buy and hold is a much better approach in the long run than trying to play the market swings.

what I'd like to know is as infrastructure does develop, who of the early adopters holding larger amounts of coins will actively invest their own profits, fiat or bitcoin into developing it further, and how many will just wait and see, while hoping to grow "richer". How many will just simply wait to "make as much of it as (they) can"...

Early adopters has kept bitcoin alive 4 years (and gone retired(not all) :-) ).. now it is you who has to make next move.

I dont know what you mean by the 30 btc comment.

Ok, say I want to sell 4000 BTC for at least $115. I can't do it in one big swoop, otherwise I'll just trigger a panic sell.

Instead, I wait for the buy bids to creep up and sell to them, while making sure I don't sell lower than $115.

Obviously it works as well for buying.

All I'm saying is that I've witnessed someone(s) cashing out slowly.

When I'll be cashing out then first step will PUMP the price.

How? Walls are closing in, it's less easy to manipulate (on the cheap).

Unless you wait for the mother of all consolidation triangle and try to make an upward breakout.  Grin

I will not cash out at the bottom Smiley. (add few digits)

best wishes reptilia, but seriously, I don't know what to think about you... you are quite the enigma and I'd rather not be a part of your melodrama.

Despite the fact that about $100k is scammed from me annually, plus I lost 1,100,000mBTC two weeks back and possibly more last week, the following statement is true:

"I have never possessed the private key to any less than 2,400,000mBTC nor any more than 35,000,000mBTC, at any time since the beginning of 2012."

I guess that puts me on the map. I think I was among the wealthiest people in the summit.
enjoy

This is a STATEMENT from the US Government to Bitcoin.  My advice being a US citizen and knowing the reach of the USG...Sell NOW or forever hold your piece.  This is going to get worse as the news reaches mainstream media.  By then, it will be too late.  I'm taking my profit and I'll watch from the sidelines. I'll buy back when the dust settles.  Good luck to all.

Just moving coinz from Mt Gox to cold wallet. (but will hold fiat there)

I have heard before that bids can be put in without sufficient funds in the account

I'm not sure if those orders appeared in the order book or if it was something account internal, but I think you refer to this:

Quote
TOKYO - JAPAN - April 09, 2013

Orders will only be accepted when there are enough funds available in your wallet!

Dear users, starting on April 17th we will be rolling out a minor change on how people place orders via the Mt.Gox interface.

Until recently, anyone could place a buy or sell order for Bitcoin, regardless of how much funds were actually available in their wallet, resulting in an order showing a "Not enough funds" error status in the Open Orders list.

Starting on April 17th, this counter productive scenario will no longer be possible and will be automatically rejected before validating your order; until you have enough funds in your wallet to match the order value.

While this change should only affect a minority of users, it will however have a major impact on our trading platform and improve our system overall performance.  

Regards
Mt.Gox Co. Ltd Team.

what's with all this bearish sentiment.

i guess you been to busy looking at charts to see that bitcoin is on fire!

Most of it comes from the Coinlab lawsuit, the DHS dwolla account freeze and satoshi dice blocking the US.
I think that is a pretty stern combination, but what do I know.  Tongue

CoinLab lawsuit, finally someone with the balls to take over mtgox in the us

DHS dwolla account freeze , yup its official bitcoin is for real.

satoshi dice blocking the US, LOL like thats going to stop anyone


See, you are purposefully missing the point.

Hint: They don't really look like isolated incidents to me.

you're the one missing the point.

Hint: your bitcoins are safe, and when FUD turns to facts...  Grin Grin Grin

That can always happen, but it can also become a self-fulfilling prophecy. When does being cautious turn into outright paranoia that feeds on itself and infects others? If you look for bad news you will always find it, if you look for positive news you will find plenty of that around as well. Most of us will be biased towards one or the other and try to think of things that reinforces our own position. In the end nobody has a definitive answer, but those who can think with a clear head and stay very flexible one way or the other usually have an edge. But they can be wrong as well. Smiley

There is only one bad news. => crack RIPEMD-160 => crack SHA-256 => crack ECDSA ... (I think/believe impossible) :-)  so until somebody is able to compute private key from your public bitcoin address, bitcoin will only rise.

The only way would be to generate billions of keys per second, and hope that one of them matches up with someone else. xD

It would still, with a billion keys per second, take a near eternity.

and what about a trillion keys per second?

Trillion is only 10^12  :-) year has only 3 * 10 ^7 seconds  => 10^19 / year  ...10^(35-19) ... only 10,000,000,000,000,000 years :-)

Is that for colliding with someone else, or for finding a specific address? I'd imagine it would be easier to indiscriminately collide with another address that has bitcoins.

Where is quantum processing in this?

If there was a trillion^trillion addresses that all were active, that wouldn't be nearly as difficult to brute force crack, would they?

QC can be used(theoretically) crack ECDSA (compute private key from public), but QC cannot compute public key from  RIPEMD-160, SHA-256

Blocking US ips was a smart move by SatoshiDice. It's not worth the legal risk. Americans can still gamble, they can find out how, the website was garbage anyway.

This has wider percussions than satoshidice though if they are affected so is the entirety of Bitcoin gambling sites operating on clearnet.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but my impression is that this is a small issue (from the censorship perspective). You can just proxy/VPN your way to the site correct? And of course then you are good to go, the bitcoin network gives no fucks about who sends coins to who. Unlike with the online poker situation in previous years where the didn't have bitcoin to get around the funding issues and blocking of payment processors, AFAIK.
Isn't that how conservative gambling sites operate?
Well would still be a legal gray area though. Not that it matters much.

Bitcoin is p2p (protocol does not log your IP). If satoshidice says "we are blocking US IP" then if you understand what is p2p you will realize "it is impossible" but if you do not understand what is p2p and Bitcoin then you can "think" they did it :-)

That's pretty big news. I don't like the sound of it one bit. The media could dine out on that.

Under 10% of people in China own a car. 40% of families don't own a fridge. The average Chinese person has the same buying power an 9 year old american boy. The people in China with money, will buy/hold/sell BTC as they please. Mass adoption in China was overblown, buying a fridge ranks slightly higher then BTC.

Today China's population is over 1344 million. (compared to 313 million United States of America, Population)

EDIT: 538M does not have a fridge but 806M has :-)
EDIT2: almost 3 times more fridges than US has :-)

Be careful of statistics, they can show anything you want. Speaking of which...

China has 1.35 Billion People and the US has 315 Million. Now, the US is far and away the biggest BTC using country.
Now try to put your numbers together with my numbers. Remove 40% of the Chines population just on account of the fridges for surely if you don't have a fridge you won't have a computer. But hmmm, maybe you will have an android phone. Anyway, we'll play it safe. So, there is another 810 million people, that is 2.67 times the American population. Without going any further, see where I am going? And if we continue to have currency issues peoples awareness is just going to grow.

How many BTC you think we got anyway?  Grin

90% don't own a car. But they're going to use money holding BTC? There is 0 domestic economy in China. Which is their problem.

The people with money, will buy/hold/use BTC. The rest? They weren't a factor anyway.

Any attack by Chinese Govt, probably makes it more popular.

Overall, there were an estimated 254.4 million registered passenger vehicles in the United States.

According to the US Bureau of Transportation Statistics for 2009 there are 254,212,610 registered passenger vehicles. Of these, 193,979,654 were classified as "Light duty vehicle, short wheel base, while another 40,488,025 were listed as "Light duty vehicle, long wheel base." Yet another 8,356,097 were classified as vehicles with 2 axles and 6 tires and 2,617,118 were classified as "Truck, combination." There were approximately 7,929,724 motorcycles in the US in 2009.

RESULT:

USA:    193M cars / 315M people = 61%
CHINA:  10% from 1,315M people = 131M cars

193M cars vs 131M cars is not so big difference

I need input here.
I'm thinking about mailing Gox and tell them to move their C64 server to my living room. I have a 150 mbps connection here and i think that could solve all the lag.
Yay, nay?
They're still saving up for a C64 to replace their ZX81

My phone has 4 cores ... easy to handle millions transaction per second.  :-)

Bitcoin being amalgamated to Liberty Reserve story:

"A top Bitcoin exchange, Tokyo-based Mt. Gox, failed to register with FinCEN earlier this month and had its U.S. dollar accounts seized by authorities.

Over the past week, a Bitcoin unit has traded at around $130, according to the website Bitcoincharts.com."

It is time to develop p2p exchange (shared order book) and using WebMoney or OKPay  for p2p fiat transfers. (maybe google wallet too)

OKPay?  You are kidding.  They won't do Bitcoin transactions and they are a nightmare to get money out of.

We need fiat escrow service (some confirmation than money was send. There is not problem with bitcoin because we have block chain and everybody can see if coins was send. And it is easy to build "open source escrow bot" watching block chain. ).

Just joke I did not sold. Sellers try to induce panic ... they wish buy in.

It is really possible without considering a bug on the blockchain website?

a) blockchain.info site error
b) bug in blockchain

What would be the point of that wall at 124 exactly?

It doesn't make much sense, most of the orders won't get filled unless the wall is broken through, and why would anyone want to sell at the beginning of a breakout?

Perhaps it's not the beginning of a breakout.....

If it did break $124, it would likely be a breakout. Otherwise it won't likely ever touch $124. Putting a sell order there is moot.

look at 2013-05-23(did break $124) then 2013-06-02

I think that, like in every market, BTC is regulated by whalemath. Liquidity is an obvious issue and Bitcoin would greatly benefit from a simplification of the exchange with fiat. It's a PAIN to get into Bitcoin. Exchanges should (probably) also work closer together to allow for more arbitrage opportunities.

It would be fine for Bitcoin and traders but not for monopoly exchange.

Anyone else feeling a rally?

Detroit going to default, bid side is heavy and we have held the 100 dollar mark nicely? I'm 50% fiat and planning on a buy in.

There are too many people trapped in 110-112 for a rally.

There are only bear traps in bitcoin market. :-)

can get 100:1 at other shops like btc.sx, but slippage and spreads are still an issue.

At plus500 you do not need bitcoin (CFD) ... you sell bitcoins only virtualy (in reality no one is sold .. price at gox is same)

Not necessarily true ... depends on the net position that Plus500 hold, how much risk they take on their book and how much they hedge on Gox or other exchanges if they are net short. Not sure how they deal with net long unless they are able to borrow BTC to short.

I think their business model has error :-). They do not buy or sell bitcoins. You cannot buy/sell bitcoin at plus500 ... only make CFD.

edit: you can after CFD manipulate price easy (if you have enough resources)

The fact is that shorting with leverage crap is a motherfucking scam. It's just gambling in its purest form, but they are gambling with customers money - if they lose big time and go bust, it's their customers who are left holding the bag. The managers who drive the business are just swimming in money pools and are the same scammers doing the very same tricks that trigger the financial crisis in the modern world.

Did you know that plus500 is owned by UK banks, did you?

I only know, it is easy to extract $$$ from plus500 :-) (they do not understand what is bitcoin) Nothing illegal they make bet I'll accept bet ... I'll win bet. Theirs company go down. Somebody makes mistake.

Simples ... they won't take that bet . They don't say how much size the bid/offer is good for, thereby  (sensibly) always reserving the right to refuse it (or change the price)
They will have limits on how big a position they will take on as a house, and those limits will depend upon how they hedge.
Go try trading 1M on the bid or the offer ... I guarantee you the order wil not be accepted. They are not that stupid.

If none of this is true, you are correct, they have a terrible business model and are really stupid. Dont forget, they trade many, many markets, so this is not likely.

They only need cash and a Gox account to hedge a short house position ... buy some BTC, no worries. They need to borrow BTC to short to hedge a net long ... that is the risk that needs managing.

I think they are trading billions or trillions of dollars so maybe few(tens) millions does not matter. :-) I do not have few tens of millions ... will not try to manipulate. (just idea what may be wrong)

True, all that I said is a big picture scenario, Bitcoin is by no means big enough to make a Company like Plus500 to go down. There's really no way.

So enjoy it, my friend Wink

Yeah, back to the TA debate !!

BTW  I am a Belieber in its value as part of a trading strategy. Like you say, its about cutting losses and running winners ... TA often gives a good indicator of entry point but not necessarily direction. Other times it gives a good indicator of future direction but the timing is the risk.
Its one of many tools to have in your Bitbelt

If you only have a hammer, every problem looks like a nail ... thats the trap

TA tells me btc=$39 ... FA tells me btc=$300,000 USD ... current price $100
1) using TA sell ALL (  2.5 times more ... in zero sum game )
2) using FA keep ALL ( 3000 times more .. no(almost zero) risk )

According to Moody, there are bids totaling more than $50 million in the $0 - $2.50 range.

It isn't difficult to manipulate the total bid sum. All you need to do is place lots of bids far below where you expect sales.

max bid sum (range $0-$265) was $24M -> there is not $50M in range $0-$2 (edit: and never was)

You need the cash...

Yes, but bids in that range obviously aren't real support. They will never get filled, so this must be taken into account when looking at total bid sum.

They were filled (in 2011 .. hacked gox)  but gox reverted(invalidated) transactions (from $17 to $0.01) .. and invalidated access to this funds (impossible to withdrawn if you are not verified .. nobody is .. and nobody can verify)

I blame it on the bots. Dont know what they are doing, but it has to be them. They are the only things holding us back from massive volume and $10,000 btc.

My uneducated & uninformed guess is there isn't much to do on an exchange when it's a pain getting the $$$ out.   Sad

Or in, apparently.

Please tell me what kind of problem is getting $$$ in gox? Why deposit $$$ when you can deposit cheap BTC.

If you are planning on withdrawing BTCBTCBTC they are cheaper on bitstamp, or btc-e, or pretty much everywhere.
And if you plan on selling high, you'd be more interested in withdrawing the profits in $$$ (or at least be able to do so).
So: It makes no sense whatsoever to wire gox any money at this point.

No one will send $1M USD at btc-e (or Bitstamp) ..,

There are two more complaints in the main withdrawal delays thread: someone claims he has not been able to take coins out since July 29 and someone else claims that he always gets an error message saying his IP was banned due to too many attempts - even if he tries to connect with another computer and different IP.

IMO the market isn't following yet, and the whale buyer doesn't want it to follow.
He depletes seller resistance, without triggering a full rally, thus optimizing his purchase cost.
He'll only act when the market is about to buy his targeted coins. If the predicted price rises
quickly to 110, then we'll see another whale buy. And it seems we are going there.

Yep, whales are smart, they are taking their time absorbing all the sellers coins. Shorting BTC is a little dangerous right now for my taste, i'm long since $95  Smiley

Yes, things are kind of lagging. I'm in since $94 again, after selling at $96 before that. So, sitting on a $3 profit but we might pop upwards here. Is that worth a $3 per BTC profit now?
We are sitting right at resistance, and there is a triple top, indicators a bit oversold, so it might be a good time to sell. But as you guys are pointing out, I get the feeling we might go up as the big buyers are poking their head above water lately. You can't just use TA here.

Not a bad gamble barring a big sell of, which doesn't look real likely. (Like it did at $130 & $107).

Then again, if we slide down, the big buyer might just be collecting coins in this range. (And anyone see that large 5000 ask wall at Stamp. Can you say "Special on BTC here!" to those guys with bank? I don't get why it is just sitting there...

When I look at the accumulation / distribution (weekly / weighted closing price and volume), then we see that the coins are in strong hands (Avg. bought @ $120+) ... so maybe there will be flash crash bellow $100, but a more realistic price is $130+ after holydays.

Yes.  There are obvious problems with using email as the end game of security, but the reality is that is how it works.  Plus, I would assume they would only accept requests from the address on the account. (yes it can be spoofed instead of just blank)

Just 3 steps
1. accessing router where unencrypted mail will routed
2. click [Reset password] on exchange  (now you know password)
3. send an email "Please remove Google auth."

If you offer a stop loss would you not simply put the coins for sale at the stop loss? How can they end up not being sold then?

 1. imagine you have 10k BTC
 2. set stop loss @ $130

That's absolutely right.

Well, live and learn. I found the mention interesting.

You long these days?

Mostly, I dont like trading in this market because is too unpredictable. Volume is low and there is a scarcity of coins which IMO is artificially produced by Gox's problems. On the other side, the order book at Bitstamp, especially the bid side, is a joke.

I tried to arbitrage with a few k's and I failed miserably. 3 weeks waiting for Gox's fiat until I cancelled the withdrawal. Ill a wait a little to see if I can buy cheaper, and then I'm leaving Gox until they solve their liquidity problems.

I was waiting for good news. Smiley

If $140 falls...
I doubt it will until this massive September long Pennant/triangle is over. Seems like it might end around Oct 5 and then KABOOM up we go. If it happens earlier I'd be happy, this thing has taken forever.

Or it could break down... why does everyone keep dismissing this possibility? Every day the required ta levels (Bollinger etc) to do so keeps creeping up (131 now), yet the market depth is failing to follow. In the past 2 months of 140 STILL no market depth has filled in. Its still only 5k to 130 (and trendbreak) and 20k to 120. Total bid depth is now $11.5m whereas 3 months ago at $110 market depth was at $16m! The volume is still low too (8k of today's volume is fake bot error) and ppl keep relentlessly dumping on stamp and btce.

I think it is because this market is easy to manipulate.

Transfer all of your stash into scamcoin if you believe in them (and prove it).

EDIT: I calculated the hash using this website - how do I get privkey to it?

Only publish this hash, so we can verify your message latter - message must have same hash.

No need for priv key, its just a hashing function that allows easy comparison.

Make your data for instance....'it will crash to $40 on Sunday. Xr898912' with the rubbish at the end so it's not easy to reverse.

When you post the hash output, we can verify it on Sunday when you post 'it will crash to $40 on Sunday. Xr898912' by doing the same as you done and comparing the output to the one you post today.

Make sense?

Lets make a test with gibberish data:

1. Let's assume that I post this hash:
63978b5bbe593d9a79813b4decabb35120747623693d89cbffb4c0156610bdfb

2. Am I correct to assume that when I am comfortable I will simply post the content of the pre-hashed data and you will simply compare the pre-hashed data with hash? What service will you use to compare?

Yes correct, we can use the same service, i.e. the previously posted website.

The pre-hashed gibberish data was:
'the price will crash to below 110. xyz'

How would the comparison / verifiction of the message vs the hash be done using the previously posted website?


Ok, I understand it now. You would paste the data and then see if generated hash is the same as the one posted by me.

63978b5bbe593d9a79813b4decabb35120747623693d89cbffb4c0156610bdfb is hash of the price will crash to below 110. xyz

Fear is what is driving this rally.  It's not about utility or long term use, but purely fear of missing the boat.  "Last chance to get in and get rich". "Last chance to own a Bitcoin." I do believe we're going to break $1000 on this fear and maybe more.  The fall however, is going to be something else all together.  

The good news is, no one need sell when it dips....because of the below events.

Bitcoin value doubled in 3 months

It is a nonsense.

As a UK guy I'm keeping my holdings as a majority on bitstamp cause I trust the UK way more than Japan to get my money back to some degree should this ever happen

And what's the relation between UK and Bitstamp?  Huh
Bitstamp is based in Reading, UK

On one hand if Bitstamp ripped me off I could pay them a visit, but on the other hand the Inland Revenue can get hold of information about any trades that I do there.  I like the way that the UK and US governments can't touch BTC-e though because it's in Russia

So they moved from Slovenia to UK.

No, of course they didn't.

Bitstamp is registered as a limited company in Reading, UK. I'd be surprised if there's anything more than a PO box with their name on it in that place.

So is this all bullshit?  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=38711.0

Well if you look at our site you probably see it is not like some over-the-night designed system running behind worldpress template. You can also clearly see our company info www.bitstamp.net/about_us/ , company is registered in Slovenia and we are all Slovenian citizens so we are obligated to follow strict laws and not hiding behind some Panama or Cyprus offshore companies. We also work with one of the leading banks in the world Unicredit bank.

We are currently working on some cool new features. I will post all new things here so you can be first to test it. We are always open for new ideas.

They might have weak hands but they cant dump piles and piles as no one there has 10000 coins to drop.



You're wrong. When/if "they" start selling it will be all at once. You take thousands of "them" with 20-50 coins each that Raquel's a heft dump. Combine that with the rest of the world who would love to force weak hands to give up cheap coins and we will see a huge dip.

This is a monstrous fuckup of enormous proportions, if this is true then their "trading engine" is broken beyond repair (it wouldn't even deserve the name "trading engine" anymore) and should be taken down and replaced by something else immediately!

From Bitstamp:    How does instant order work?

When you place an instant order, we add an order at the current bid or ask price (depending on the type of the order). If there is not enough bitcoins available at that price, your order will remain open until someone sells or buys additional bitcoins at that price. Our trading engine will then reposition your order every 10 minutes to the current order book offer.

I can't believe I sold all just under 500! I was so happy to have over a half million $ that I couldn't wait. Oh well, I guess all I can do is sit in my new completely paid off house and cry. lol

You sold all? Really?

IMO at current BTC valutation selling "for good" (to cash in fiat profits) more than 35% of ones BTC stash is completely crazy, regardless of when you bought in.

If you bought in low double digits/single digits, then your profits are SO HUGE that selling only 20% will grant you a massive gain, while you still keep bullets for the "next round".

If you bought just a few weeks/months ago, then selling 20% is probably enough to recover your full investment, while you keep riding the BTC trading.

In any case, selling all seems like something you will bitterly regret in the near future. I guess you dig in the forums and read the stories of those who sold tens of k's of coins in 2011 (if not hundreds of thousands of coins), bought a nice house and a nice car and retired from the BTC scene for good. Just 2 years after those guys would be so wealthy that their kids and the kids of their kids would be all set for life.

Yep - it might not happen. But its the kind of opportunity you just cannot afford to lose Wink

I already kind of regret it but I mined for most of my coin so long ago and this is such a giant windfall that it's hard to not be happy.

I do not believe it is possible in 4 days withdraw from gox $500k and buy house. Total BS

You're all right to hold on to some for the future, and I kept a couple just in case, but it does feel really good to have made money and cashed out. For many of the dream chasers here cashing out is a bedtime fantasy. I don't want to dream about it anymore. At what point do you cash out? At retirement or when you have a big purchase and need the money? Never? I hope the price goes to a million a coin and we are all rich off a few coins but I most likely won't live long enough to see that happen.

I haven't spent a coin since Jeremy was selling Amazon cards to Americans. So I've been saving for a long time. Time to spend!

How many coins did you cash out in total?

Just over 1800.

Edit: that's all I've ever had which includes spending at SpendBitcoins.

How are you planning to withdraw it from Gox though? Gonna take the 5% extortion fee?

That can't be helped. I may as well tell you, it's almost over now. I have several family members receiving from accounts I helped them make. They will receive the funds and transfer to me slowly. The extortion fee isn't as bad as the tax will be.

There is limit $10k USD/ month at gox. -> $500k is 50 man-months :-)  (if any)

20 months to surpass $32,
7 months to beat $266,

$350 is cheap, it is the ATH from 15 days ago Wink

$500 is a reasonable level to start buyback.

so you're buying back in now?

Now, meaning 'at the moment', I am not buying back in. The price is above $500. My average sale price is $672 and I am not a daytrader. It has to go down a lot before I care to buy back.

Now, meaning 'whether I changed the strategy concerning what to do', the answer is: strategy stays the same until something new happens. Just that price follows some of my old scenarios (goes up, down, or stays put) is not considered 'new'. I don't think I will ever buy bitcoins above $500. If it goes to the moon, my next problem will be when and how much to sell more, as my bitcoins are worth $100M and the rest of my wealth is just a few million$.

I should really post my wisdom concerning position management, because so many are clueless about it.

agreed with niothor.

This is just a reminder to those who might have forgotten or those who are new to bitcoin.

Rpietila is shouting doom and gloom all over the forum, but until the beginning of the year he was predicting a bitcoin valuation of several hundred thousand USD. That was whilst he was in a manic phase, during which his behavior on these forums, as well as in real life caused much sensation and is well documented for those interested in using the search function.

He was subsequently involuntarily hospitalized in a psychiatric facility, diagnosed with Bipolar Affective Disorder, with multiple delusions of grandeur. He now seems to be in a depressive phase of his illness and is spreading doom and gloom on the speculation forums. Either that, or he has sold just before we hit 1000 and is now regretting his mistake.

Either way, thread carefully with him



That's the cheapest form of attack. You try to discredit the person instead of attacking his actual arguments. Ad Hominem is a very low debate tactic. Maybe he has a mental illness. Many people have. It doesn't mean they can't make significant intellectual contributions.

I tried to attack his arguments, but he deleted my post (and not only my) from his moderated thread.

In this case you are losing coins, but your wealth is better protected. It's like paying "crash insurance". And if you do this always, someday you will win big when big crash comes. This isn't as easy to do as it seems in the pic.

The most important thing in low risk trading is buying back in with loss and this could be majority of your trades. Winning trades are just so much bigger that this doesn't just lower your risk of losing wealth but it also is better for your coin stash in the long run. (maybe)

Interesting approach. Is there any way that you could make a mathematical model about it, so that we could compare vs. the SSS plan?

True. But his approach is still the most profitable one depending on how high you place the chance for total/near total failure of BTC. Don't tell me you're 100% sure BTC will make it?!

Bitcoin may failure, but an exchange can total failure with much higher probability. (it happened countless times)

To be honest, your not the only one who thinks we aren't finished with this crash/pop/correction/downtrend at the moment. I see lot's of evidence for and against and you've made some really interesting posts for it, but you really rob yourself of credibility when you say thing's like '10$' as the bottom price. I don't know if you actually believe it yourself or just want to appear trollish.

I'm kidding about $10. I thought it's obvious.
It will actually be $0.01  Grin

Maybe there was a lag and price falls before your order was put in the order book.

No. Sell and punish the above 1000 buyers and all the holders.
Buy back later. The chance is better then 50% to get more coins. Looks really bearish. Double Top wasn't reached again -> dead cat bounce.

We will go down, but I don't know how much. Just buy all the way down.



Sell to strong hands, they already own 75% of coins :-)

It is wire.wire within China is cheap and instant

This is starting to get posted everywhere:

The front page of huobi.com says "银行汇款充值24小时到账,支持招商、建设银行。"

Apparently it translates to: "You can use the remittance to deposit fiat into our platform. The fund will be available in 24 hours. We support China Merchants Bank and China Construction Bank".

I know huobi is a Chinese exchange.  I know they're saying they are now accepting fiat via "remittance".  What is remittance though?  And they say they support two different banks. Is remittance like a cashier's check form one of these banks?  Is it a bank wire?

It looks like this exchange has found a way around the new regulations.  

So do you believe this could be an answer for the Chinese problem?  Why were the exchanges and depositors having to use 3rd party payment processors, if they could just use the banks directly like this anyway?

anonymity I believe.  Direct bank transfers are of course documented, whereas it sounds like the 3rd party payment system less scrutinized?

hmm, maybe china is cool with btc, but just wants to know who is dealing with them in volume. this seems to me like something china would do.

i bet there is a massive over reaction then on this selling.

It is only weak hands shaking. :-)

If you think it goes below 300, I am willing to bet Smiley

I have no idea where the price is going but I fondly remember the time when you predicted the price would never go below $100 again. That was about 24 hours before the price dived below $100 on heavy volume.

Predicting the markets is making educated guesses about the probabilities of things happening. It becomes successful investing if you spot the +EV deals and act on them (and your skill is good enough to estimate the probabilities).

When I predicted no going below 100, my skill was not as good as now. I would have bet, and lost. (And I also lost by going 100% all-in before the dip). Now I am saying no going below 300. If it goes below, I lose the possible bet + I lose because my bids were too high. It does not mean that I find it unthinkable to go there. If I bet 2:1 for example, it means that I think the probability is anything less than 33%.

This was also the beef last spring, and many people have been ridiculing me for trying to (unsuccessfully) give them juicy odds for bets that I would have lost. Now I think it is bad behavior - just "no thanks" should be enough.

In the last dip I went 100% all in at $421, because that was my assessment of the lowest realistic price in Bitstamp that day after the previous close of 675. I lost, because it went to $382. Well, many lost much more by being even worse in predicting Wink

to all bears that are feeling bad, i am about -45 btc from my best position during this "crash", took too much risk and bitcoin kicked me in the face, maybe this helps to fight with the "buying back with loss" feelings

all i can say is that when price rises it opens new possibilities, but only if you buy back before the rise

I think if you buy and hold + take 45 BTC fiat profit it would be much better for you.

The ones who are going to cash out will do obcviously from 500 all the way to current level. The rest selling pressure comes from the paniquers who are afraid of BTC falling all the way to 50 USD/BTC - they will be the ones who opress the price to 300 dollarish-levels.

You're sounding more like Nostradamus with every post  Cheesy

Well, you know the feeling when you have been buying coins instead of selling at 500-700 dollars and then the price starts dropping to 450, then quickly to 400, then 350 and then 320 quickly. You know, in this position the coin holders feel like there is a bottomless pit the coin will be sinking and it is better of selling them now for 320 while someone is still willing to pay this amount from my coinz.

Seems you forgot we had double top at $1240 ... this sellers want rebuy too.

This strikes me as an odd discussion....if I want to buy a share of a stock, I don't go to the pit on wall street and start waving my arms, I just log onto TrowePrice or Vanguard or whatever and set an order, they buy it and I'm good to go.

As far as I can tell, Coinbase does the same thing- yes, it would be nice to set limit orders etc., and I'm sure that will come, but basically it's a financial service that takes care of all the details.

DieJohnny, why didn't you send him to Coinbase to buy a few coins? Yes, Coinbase could be hacked, etc. but so could a Vanguard account - it's all about the reliability of the company, and the methods they use to safeguard my investment.

Yes, I get the whole "setting up a digital wallet safe from any intrusion" aspect....but most folks like myself are going to buy and sell and move bitcoins like we move stocks and bonds, through a service that handles the technical mumbo-jumbo.

Is there something I'm not understanding here?

Yep that's a better way to put it. Bitcoin isn't some weird internet money, it's just like an stock which will go boom boom boom to the moon and now suddenly everybody wants a piece of it Grin

But, wait a moment, it will be cheaper soon Grin

Now I'm off to bed before all the bulls come to throw stones at me...

hmm, we are not buying/selling at a loss. Simply: I do not understand your trading strategy.

Interesting analysis. I can see why some people are so bearish now. They can look into the future and disregard new investors in bitcoin as a potential factor in price. They think houbi is the one to rule us all.
I'm actually bearish for two reasons. First is huobi and second is even WITH huobi, this still looks like that weak trend in May that fell into final capitulation. So combine those two and I am extra bearish.

What is huobi ? Some FAKE exchange with 200 btc in order book, and you can sell 100k bitcoin there and price will not even change. Seems legit.

I recently learned I am one-degree of separation from a great whale manipulator.  Manipulation is happening.  I also learned that the exchanges realize this and are cracking down on it behind the scenes (they obviously don't want to come out and discuss this openly).  And besides, as the market grows, manipulation is becoming more difficult anyways.

But it's important to note that the great whales do not want bitcoin to crash to the point where it truly damages confidence.  They know they cannot quickly cash out 100,000 BTC and nor do they want to because they believe that bitcoin is the future of money.  

In fact, the more I think about "manipulation" and "whales" the less I see it as manipulation in the first place.  What's wrong with putting up a 1,000 BTC sell wall to try to drop the price?  By doing this you are risking a larger whale eating your wall in a single bite--live by the sword and die by the sword it seems.

In conclusion, the great whales--more often than not--are allies of bitcoin.  

I agree. I'm not sure why "manipulation" is seen as illegitimate. Maybe I should read up on history. Can someone point me to something in history that meant trouble and triggered all the regulation we have in the "regulated" markets?

In my current naive mind, I can see a "manipulation problem" only when "unfair advantages" are being played, like in the case of naked short-selling, for example.


biggest manipulation = regulation :-)

The dump was cut off wasn't it? I assumed it was lower than 990.

It was at 990 and seemingly still going and click the exchange turns off.

These low prices are helping the big mining warehouses getting rid of the remaining competition. Soon there will be nothing but data centers mining coins... a bit sad really. But bitcoin is going pro. and that is also a positive thing in many respects.

The funny thing is that I considered mining but yea the difficulty is a pain.  If it stayed the same then maybe it would be worth it.  Now, if your small you need to reinvest otherwise you won't get anywhere

If I'll estimate 1 kW/h  (10 cent/hour) then 1 day of mining will cost you $2.4/day .. $72/month ... $864/year (and you will have only 0.5 - 0.1 BTC)

Im confused, where does the 30 figure come from? Thats not supposed to be the average investment is it? Because it should be about a tenth of that.

Plus most of those accounts are probably not "unique"



30 days per month

This is skewed greatly by the fact that their developer API allows you to create a fresh MyWallet for each customer that comes to your site/service.  So this may just mean a lot of people are just signing up to a new service that is backed by Blockchain.info's MyWallet service but no necessarily a new adopter, let alone adding additional value to the market.


Yeah, but it is still just one service, and even if only 1/4 are new adopters, that is 30,000 new adopters a month.  To my knowledge, I had NOT registered any wallet on blockchain info until 4 months after I had been buying bitcoin(s).  There are likely a lot of ways to get into bitcoin without creating a wallet with blockchain.info... so maybe overall, the number of 120,000 per month is an accurate roundabout and overall estimate for the number of new users per month?

I believe that all the estimates remain that bitcoin adoption is increasing, in spite several downfalls and impediments.. but no one really knows the exact numbers, even though there remain several estimations...

It is interesting that even if 30,000 NEW adopters a DAY will emerge  then it is only 11,000,000 per YEAR ... ( and only 110 millions per 10 YEARS ... what is less than 2% of population )

It all depends on how much time it takes to decline. Theoretically it could either drop immediately to $120 or go sideways for a year at $400.

I'll prefer drop to single digits :-) .. and then I'll buy thousands.

Let's say that one day EC is suddenly revealed to be broken. Hackers have already been moving coins around and now everyone's private keys are suddenly public knowledge. Everyone's coins now belong to everyone else and there is no way to distinguish between owners. How could you possibly fix this with a patch? You'd have to release a new blockchain with the same balances and everyone having a new private key. Even if you could pull that off, how would you know who the owners were and how to contact them with their new private keys?

Bitcoin is not EC.  Bitcoin is EC + SHA-256 + RIPEMD-160. So if one day EC is suddenly revealed still only owner of private key will be able to make transaction. Everyone's coins now still belong to owner and  owner is able to move them to NEW address witch will be secured with NEW crypto alg. (EC replacement)

But in the blog, they're talking about literally dumping some of the BTC on the market for expenses payable in fiat currency. How much is not clear. I suppose those with debt payable in BTC were likely to have held in the first place, though.

It is very good for Bitcoin. Cheap coins will change hands.

Ah, sure, I didn't mean "bad for bitcoin"... by negative impact on BTC/USD, I just meant a downward pressure on the price. The whole thing is a bit opaque, though. Not clear to me how much it could affect that.

There are almost 4k BTC minted daily. ... ( so wait one more week)

Ethereum might become the biggest BTC rubbish dump next to MtGox. This will be fun to watch.

25k BTC = $15M

So investors think that their stock will outperform Bitcoin and that stock also has similar crash possibility. Acctually this investment is at least 5 - 10 times more risky than Bitcoin with same rewards.

Neo & Bee anyone?  Wink
after 5k sell out, only $12M remains

sentiment of bitcoiners seems quite negative against ethereum.

people fear what they don't understand, I guess. Or maybe it's envy these guys are being swamped with coins.

btw: not saying ETH is a good investment, I have strong doubts. Ethereum being successful does not necessaril imply ETH will be valuable.

also: I'm not endorsing ethereum, I just think it's highly interesting, mainly from a technical perspective and for the implications it might have (which I can't yet fully imagine). Unsure who's really behind it, either, and what the larger plan is there...

One thing I can say for sure, though: comparing ethereum to any old altcoin pump & dump is just fucking lame. If you do that you're either too lazy to take a look at what it is and therefore ignorant, or you are hostile against it for some reason and spreading fud.



I'm only impressed by the fact they was able to earn 25k btc

I'm quite amazed where these huge sellers get their coins from.

Remember those 850.000 bitcoins "lost" on the MtGox? Somebody has the private keys of those BTC. Ask yourself what would you do if that was you. Would you hold all of them, or would you convert some to the fiat?

my guess is that if one was smart enough to steal this amount of coins he/she is also smart enough to sell them off exchange.

if it was me, selling them via a verified exchange account would be the last thing i would do.

And I don't even mv the btc, I'll just give away the private key.

Yes, and ideally to as many persons as possible :-).

And, ... there is absolutely no urgency to get back in. I may get in fast if I see a clear sell off and subsequent reversal or, I can take time and get back him when it is showing signs of an uptrend. But the worst thing in investing is to catch the falling knife. After protencting gains above 1000 $, it is not a big deal to buy back in at 400, 500, or 600. It is still outperforming buy and hold big time.

So you're saying you got out above $1000 and never got back in between then and now? You make it sound so easy to simply get out at the top and then just wait 10-12 months or however long it takes for a new uptrend to take hold and then just buy back in and ride the next bull run. I think you've made mistakes as well by getting in or out at the wrong time just like all traders do, but you just leave that out to make it seem like it's easy. I dare you to let us know when you bought back in so we all can see how good you really are.

He also got in @ $0.06 and make twice as much as buy and hold strategy.

Ripple was first implemented in 2004 by Ryan Fugger,[12][13] a Web developer in Vancouver, B.C., Canada.[14] In 2005, Fugger began to build Ripplepay as a financial service to provide secure payment options to members of an online community via a global network.[14][15]

This led to the development of a new Ripple system in 2011 by Jed McCaleb.[14] It was designed to eliminate Bitcoin's reliance on centralized exchanges, use less electricity than Bitcoin, and perform transactions much more quickly than Bitcoin.[14]

yea... because getting transactions done in under 1 minute using a p2p network and not some off-chain bullshit must be a scam....

Does anyone expect price to rise soon? I told my church that bitcoin was misunderstood by the media and that it's actually the best form of money ever created, because it's for the people and not controlled by greedy bankers. The pastor agreed that Christ himself would have approved and they invested a small fortune. But he's getting worried now, because the price keeps going down. What should we do?

Wrong. Smiley for people with free hardware no overhead and "free" electricty its close to zero.



But that is no indicator of its value. It can become $1000 in less then 6 months to make 1 BTC if more hardware hits the network.

Network total: 366,027,750 Ghash/s  ... it really is not free ... it is 200,000 kw/h ... and * 24 per day

It's Huobi the anchor chain again. Must be the big Chinese mining pools still dumping coins. Don't they know the rest of the world is revving for the next bull run?

I think that you should explain it to them, that instead of selling bitcoins, they should sell their and their loved ones kidneys. That's how they could pay off some of the loans and electric bills, that have been accumulating throughout 2014.

Are these mining places even profitable any more ? I thought after the price fell, then even people getting free electricity aren't profitable.

A bit simplified, but say an underclocked SP20 at 1.2 TH/s uses 1000W. That would (at current difficulty) mine ~0.445 BTC or (at todays prices) $100 per month. If you consider the hardware as a sunk cost, you will be even with a electricity rate of 14 US cents (3.36 per day). At 10 cents you'd ROI your hardware after ten months. If you have free electricity you'd ROI would be 4 to 5 months.

Of course there are some other factors, but that is the basic picture.

30 days * $3.36 = $100 / 0.445 =>  1 BTC costs you $226
It is better to buy BTC directly.

If this bear market has been largely caused by Chinese miners that can do nothing with bitcoins except sell them, then it is likely to end when one of two things happen: Either they run out of stockpiled coins to sell over and above coins they are mining, or when the Chinese economy gets so bad that they realize that the killer app is to sneak out of the country with them.

Right now Bitcoins seems to be an answer in search of a problem: Most obviously capital controls in a world where capital is still largely mobile. When this situation changes, it is likely to be sudden and swift although the time frame is difficult to predict with any accuracy.

Mined coins are not that much, 3600 per day and the Chinese probably only have less than 35% share of that so thats only 1200 coins per days assuming they sell all of them every day.  

There is more belief of short traders and options sellers using leverage.

BTC3600 is not that much  Huh that's like additional $850,000 sell pressure every single day. BTC is not that liquid to easily sustain that.

But some relief will come in 18months

Let assume that only 15% of population will use bitcoin in next 20 years.
=> it is 1,000,000,000  / 20 years
=> 50,000,000 new adopters per year
=> 136,000 new adopters every day

$850,000 / 136,000 new adopers =  $6.25 per new person

An attacker that controls more than 50% of the network's computing power can, for the time that he is in control, exclude and modify the ordering of transactions. This allows him to:

    Reverse transactions that he sends while he's in control
    Prevent some or all transactions from gaining any confirmations
    Prevent some or all other generators from getting any generations

The attacker can't:

    Reverse other people's transactions

They're ignorant, brainwashed from birth in state schools and by the Jewish media, it's not their fault. But you. . . . you can think outside the box. . . . Expected better from you.

Do not trade. Buy and Hold. If you are gambler then it is your fault.

This is not some sort of pure philosophical debate, people stand to gain or lose billions. Why is anything money-related being done? Probably money. Not that I'm above it, with that much at stake who knows what I'd do, but the answer is still money. Egos play into it, but that's about the same thing.

There are customers they pay for gods or services. There are merchants and they provide gods or services.  => Customer only pay. Merchant only accept bitcoins.

You as customer will be able to open only 1 channel with LN-PROVIDER to send bitcoins to 1,000,000 merchants.  Merchant will be ablle to open 1 channel with LN-PROVIDER to accept payments from ALL customers.

Can You understand now ?

First I hear of this, sounds like bullshit to me. Walk me through? Who is this "LN-PROVIDER"? How does "LN-PROVIDER" transact with "1,000,000 merchants"?
Why is it that "Merchant will be ablle to open 1 channel with LN-PROVIDER to accept payments from ALL customers."


LN-Provider can be BitPay/PayPal/Google.  You will pay to LN-OPERATOR instantlly, LN-OPERATOR will notify merchant and later LN-OPERATOR will pay to merchanat sum of all payments at once.

Are you Lambie ?
What if there is 1000 LN-OPERATORS. It is same as single 1.  999 others is same as other merchants to you AS CUSTOMER of your ONE LN-OPERATOR you choose.

Yes you have SINGLE pre-funded credit card and with this LN-CHANNEL you can pay to everybody who accepts paymetns from your operator. (or other co-operator)

LN-Provider will offer services: e.g. you can pay in this restaurants, buy in this shops ...

LN-Provider will offer: We cooperate with 1,000-1,000,000 other LN-Providers. It is not your problem, we will do it for you.

We do not need LN for this. This is how all credit cards work, now. Today.
Only with ordinary credit cards, I don't have to pay Visa upfront. Visa lets me buy shit and *then* bills me.
So I can already do what you want LN to do today, wit fiat.

I can't speak to the Chinese volume, I'm only tracking Houbi and BTCC and both look completely fake.  As for the others, Finex has been a leader lately:


Last 7 days:

Thanks for that. I guess we look to finex for now then. I suppose we can take comfort from the thin bids there, since it shows that few holders want to sell at the moment - everyone expects a further bull run.

There are plans within plans you obviously haven't considered.  Just saying....

The next 2 days are critical. If there will be a successful pump, eventually leading to about 1050$ - 1100$, then this will be a EW one, and after months of sideways we'll see 2000$ or more.
If however the pump will fail, then we'll see a major correction, down to about 600$ and the possibility of a new bear market.

Sure, bitcoin price will be negative. They will pay you, just b/c holding bitcoins is too expensive and bitcoins are too heavy to transport.

Today is a happy day. We are finally very close to a non-contentious solution for the scaling drama of this past years.

Totally wrong.  Nothing has changed at all and it's still the same old parties having the same old positions.  A contentious Chinese/Jihan Wu fork (only with Barry Silbert added to the mix) vs the other Bitcoin core people:

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DCTgqEBXYAQBgNI.jpg:large

If you're trying to trade this, it's leaning far more towards a fork disaster than non-contentious fork.

Why keep on posting 5 days old tweet? and snapshots like it was posted  just now

Are you saying bitmain will fool us by signaling and then move into own little fork chain?

As i write this there is:
80% segwit2x support for last 40 blocks!

47.2% for 144 blocks

Bitmain will make no difference atall, they too small to make it anymore.
75% for last 80 blocks

No, your private key is not exposed by the transaction hash, anymore than it is exposed on the regular Bitcoin chain. (edit: unless there is a bug that we don't know about.) However, are the wallets that run BCC free of bugs that could expose your private keys? The common wisdom is to move your bitcoin away from any private keys that you may import into BCC software. Even Trezor isn't confident that their BCC wallet is bug free. Just look at all of their disclaimers. https://blog.trezor.io/claim-bcash-bitcoin-cash-bch-bcc-trezor-wallet-f0a810d5864a

So what is the difference betwen transaction on BCH and BTC chain. Chains were same before split.

If replay protection is not added, then what is going to be the solution, something like 100 confirmations?  Or am I misunderstanding the gravity of the problem and adding confirmations would that not be enough?

100 confirmations should be safe enough, quite hard to reverse that much.
But in a fork/war context it could take days instead of 1000 minutes (16-17 hours).
And doubt about the winning chain can add to the paralyzing effect. IF the fork happens, which still remains to be seen.

The Bitcoin network (NODES, FULL NODES) don't.
Simple.

You can emit a block ... but if no-one keep and relay (because of the 2Mb size/8Mb weight), it's an orphan block.
If you have 800-1500 NODES of Segwit 2x ... you must FIGHT the 114 000 nodes with the 1Mb size/4Mb weight limits.

Miners don't matter.
But the earn reward if they follow the RULES of the whole network, the real Bitcoin network.

FULL NODES enforce the rules.
Automatically.

TrustNet is like that.
P2P network are like that.

It's people (nodes).

Are you sure there is 114 000 nodes with the 1Mb size/4Mb ? (I run ONE, but I wil upgrade)

  • It's not 1MB to 2MB. It's more like ~4MB to ~8MB.
  • You have to know WHICH lines of code need changing, and change them right. And figure out the technical consequences. The developer(s?) on the 2x Team don't seem to be able to tell the keyboard from the screen. And the team don't seem to care much about censorship resistance, either.
  • Node operators, besides trusting the 2x Team to do the right thing technically, must be WANTING to take that step. I, for one, am not.

I'm not trolling you. I'm software developer with 20 years of experience. I'm writing code for the banks and I can guarantate you, I can add few lines of code and bitcoin core will be supporting Segwit2x within 1 hour.  

This is not just about code change, the changes are reasonably trivial, and you are right 1 hour to change the code, a few hours to review and some time for others to check maybe a week or two, some testing on the test chain looking at propagation speed and other implications of the bigger blocks, maybe a month or two, a mechanism so everyone running a current bitcoin version can change their code to run bigger blocks, once enough people are signalling we can begin the change, a lock-in period,  etc... say a few more months at minimum.

If you want to do a hard fork safely and properly it isn't a 1 hour job!!!!

We don't currently need a block size increase.
And everyone knows we don't currently need a block size increase, this is a power grab, its about sacking the Core development team, and replacing it with.... with.... another ready to go team, but who they are is currently unknown.




I agree. I like current development team. I will not replace them. ... I only know that the next stage is Segwit 2x

When I wrote "You have to know WHICH lines of code... bla bla...", I didn't mean YOU-Odalv. I meant YOU-developer-for-2x-Team (which I assume you aren't), and those developer(s?) (more than one? Really?) don't seem to be terribly skilled, according to the few who were able to peek into their github mess before they made it private. So nothing personal with you.

BTW, 20 years developing for banks doesn't necessarily mean anything. Many banks still have their old dinosaur system written in Cobol. No, not your banks. OK. From your words, I suppose you must use more recent programming languages, such as C++, so you are indeed able to tweak bitcoind, allright. Whatever.

However, Mr. Average Bitcoiner doesn't really agree much with the politics and rationale of the 2x fork. He's afraid of China. He's afraid of censorship from his own government. He's afraid he won't be able to run a node any longer because of bandwidth and memory requirements. He likes his SegWit, he waits for the Lightning Network to see what it can deliver.

But let us assume Mr. Average Bitcoiner agrees with 2x. He doesn't care about censorship or centralization. He hates SW. For some very good reason, he hopes LN fails miserably. Whatever. Do you think Mr. A.B. will be so eager to install node software signed by Odalv - even with all these slightly unlikely assumptions?


I'm not writing code for banks for 20 years. (I'm developer with 20 years of experience, ... now I'm witing code for banks)
I'm not bitcoin software developer nor 2x developer. I'm only telling you what is possible. ( I'm HODLER) :-)

There was a list of tweets yesterday, with screen grabs from some of the most significant Bitcoin Core developers, where each one said they would refuse to work on 2x, they will probably quit Bitcoin altogether. (sorry I don't have the reference).

Oh my?  We got our answer.  This particular one has "experience," and that is what distinguishes this one from the other FUD spreading trolls.... hahahahaha... and probably this one has "real world" experience, not just that made up internet magic stuffs.    Roll Eyes Roll Eyes       Cheesy



What is your problem ?

I don't gots no problems.

Life is good.  We have a quasi-unexpected upwards price bump, and surely I consider our current $4200-ish price is still within a kind of consolidation range; however, it seems to be getting towards the top of such consolidation range (earlier, I had estimated such consolidation range to be approximately $3400 to $4300), and whoaza.. seemingly better than expected, and possibly could be a sign that we may be breaking to the upside, perhaps?

So yeah, some banker shill jobs, such as you, come in with a bit of desperation and spreading "simplified" nonsense "solutions" ...  So, that really is not a problem, because it is kind of expected, but I doubt that WO participants are going to let you just spew your nonsense without some kind of attempt to get to you to explain yourself... maybe to figure out if we just have a misunderstanding or maybe you are as retarded as your spouted ideas of simple solutions?  perhaps?




- Do you think I do not have 20 years experience in programing ?

Who knows and who cares, and is it relevant?  Why do you feel some need to assert that?  Probably you feel a need to spout your supposed credentials because you are trying to play off of the naive in your spouting out nonsensical ideas and you are asserting "credentials" because even you, in your nonsense, likely realize that your ideas, in themselves, are not going to be very convincing unless you spout out some supposed credentials.   Roll Eyes




 - Do you think I do not live in "real world " ?

You could be bot.     Tongue Tongue


Who is "we got your answer" -> it is "you" ?

I am merely referring to a common theme that you seem to have with your brethren trolls (get yourselves coordinated!  fuck!!!  you don't even know what your brethren trolls are doing?).  Anyhow, the common referred to theme is your supposed "experience" talking point.....   hhhahahahahahahaha  NOT 
I'm not a bot.
Take it as a fact.

Because being breastfed is better than a cigar.

I registered here four hours before rj. He's such a noob.

Ha ha, I am still a noob even now. I will fully admit this.

I have no argument with your statement.


I am not sure if the above is a good proclamation....

Sure it is good to attempt to lower your cost per BTC, but it seems like a mind block, and even a form of inactivity to NOT continue to acquire BTC (on dips, for example).. especially if you have an ongoing cashflow, a certain percentage of your cashflow could go to bitcoin, no?  

Even 1% might be sufficient, no?

The amount could even be less than 1%, and still be good... depending on tailoring the amount to your own situation.

If you buy enough bitcoins at the beginning (a much lower price), then it is stupid if you want to increase your bitcoin by + 1% and invest twice as much.
You understand ? (English is not my native language.)

But I gamble too :-) Selling tops, buying dips and extract cash. (with 5% of my long term holdings)
Buy back is not wise because you can lose everything(100%) and everything you can win is the only (5%). ... but good for gamblers :-)

I really do not understand why the "core team" has a 2X problem.
Without 2X is not Segwit. Bitcoin has exponential support, so 2X is a good compromise.

... ok I understand that they want to create a "market fee" and "birth of side chains" as soon as possible.

The war between Bitcoin and Segwit2x will damage both sides and finally 2X is necessary (only the of time question)

Well, they never really agreed to Segwit2x. They implemented Segwit, which had widespread support. The miners and services decided amongst themselves to hard fork 3 months later. Discussions of the 2x hard fork itself aside, I think it's reasonable that both Core and users generally oppose such a timeline.

... ok I understand that they want to create a "market fee" and "birth of side chains" as soon as possible.

The way I see it, the damage was already done. Maybe not for the same reasons as others think so, though. To me, the fact that BIP148 folks (now NO2X folks) wanted to permanently split Bitcoin so they could activate Segwit a bit earlier tells me they don't share my long term interests. If anything, it was an attack on my interests as a holder. Likewise, hard forks -- particularly contentious and hasty ones -- similarly threaten my long term interests.

There's a lot more to gain in terms of consumer (cheap) payments, anonymous payments, smart contracts and more if we are just patient and allow developers to build on top of Segwit.

I think the declining BTC value of BCH (I suppose that's the altcoin you meant) indicates that a certain gang thinks their money is best burned supporting the next attack, so BCH purchases are being phased out.

I think splitting BTC-B2X will require mixing freshly mined coins into one's transactions. The landing chain of the transaction will be the chain where the fresh coins were mined. I still have to figure out how to do that.

There seems to be a different way invoving timelocked transactions - but I won't have a clue about this bit of magic until I research the matter. BTW, for the technically knowledgeable: pointers would be welcome  Wink

Why should I care what is happening on B2X network or on any other Bitcoin [put-some-extra-word-here] network that is trying to mimic Bitcoin network? I simply take what they give me and dump it for bitcoins. Case solved.

They share same keys, same addresses. If you dump at B2X then they dump your BTC. (it is same network, the difference is small -> block size ) ... there is not replay protection

1) if you dump BTC then your transaction will apear on BTC2X and you lose BTC2X
2) if you dump BTC2X then there is a chance that your dump will be replayed on BTC

Mhhh, so I think the best way to split your B2X coins would be to create a transaction very early after the split to an address which you control. It will probably be included in a >1 MB block in the B2X chain, thus making it incompatible anymore on the real chain.

Is my thinking correct ?

Edit: Nvm, I think I am not correct. The transactions after that could still be replayed on both chains.  Roll Eyes

With 0 BTC fee, but you will have to wait for B2X confirmed and BTC not (you will have to make new transaction and add FEE in BTC transaction)

To split your coins
On BTC chain you have some coins in address (A), you send your coins to another address you own (B), and include a further special recipient address 3Bit1xA4apyzgmFNT2k8Pvnd6zb6TnwcTi  to whom you send a few satoshis. (You have to use send to many option in your wallet, to send them at once).
Any transactions that contain this special address will be ignored by 2X miners.
Once this is successful, you will have your BTC in an address(B) you own.

IIUC, I would not employ this mechanism for my coins. The part that I have underlined seems to require full faith in what the miners will do. You have no a priori method of knowing whether that address will 'be ignored' by any miner.


Yes, it's a policy, miners could ignore the policy and include the transaction.

No, this is not correct. Transactions to that address are will be considered invalid by 2x nodes & miners; A block containing them would be invalid and not be built upon.

Only by miners that agree to implement this, and do not renege. What guarantee do you have that this will be the case? For that matter, what guarantee do you have that someone does not know the private key corresponding to this address?

I'm just trying to point out that there is at least one alternative method that a transaction originator can use to split their coins, which does not suffer these drawbacks.

As I understand this. Block that contains transaction with recipient 3Bit1xA4apyzgmFNT2k8Pvnd6zb6TnwcTi is INVALID in Segwit2x and will be rejected. Segwit2x will not accept block that contains transaction using 3Bit1xA4apyzgmFNT2k8Pvnd6zb6TnwcTi

it looks more and more like 2x is either not gonna happen at all, or it'll be a piece of crap no one's interested in. bitcoin gold is the latter no matter what.

when both are confirmed non events then i'll guess bitcoin will fall and then have a relief rally

The great crypto breakout was when btc and alts rose together. I had been waiting since 2013 for that. There were many shakeouts before and I knew since alts didnt move with btc that it was a fake.btc rise and it always was.. so if this thing is real.. alts should make a move here..

If you drank the Blockstream/Core koolaid and dumped your BCH, you can buy them back at 4 BCH per BTC. 

Remember, if you're holding BTC and BCH in equal proportion, you'll come out fine whether Bitcoin Core or Bitcoin Cash wins in the end.


I DID bet, you are wrong. Time will solve it. Bitcoin is ANTI-fragile.

Big block + Difficulty Adjustment Algorithm will destabilize CRash in the long term. It will die.
