wtf is taking so long?

Doubtful that we'll get any quick run up any time soon.

Too bad you lost your img posting privileges. Must suck.

I believe in this too.

What was the cause of the spike in volume?

Was it only on Huobi or in other exchanges too?

Did you read that on Fox News ?

If I were a market maker and want to accumulate more btc before the inevitable halving and 'consensus' price rise, I would definitely:

0. Accumulate on the almost forgotten alt coin market
1. Spread FUD so people sell their btc, btc price drops
2. Pump altcoins. People sell their btc in the chase, btc price drops further (<--- we are here)
3. Dump expensive altcoins for cheap bitcoins.
4. Let the bitcoin bubble occur because of 'consensus' and halving
5. People sell cheap altcoins for chasing expensive bitcoins
5. Sell expensive bitcoins for cheap altcoins
6. Spread FUD
7. Rinse, repeat.

Pucker up, get rich quickers.

I hope they print 10x more, just to watch r0ach post a dozen of walltexts about ponzi schemes, silver, jews, women, etc.

but Ill be reading and enjoying everyones comments, even Roach who I believe is an undercover permabull of Jewish descent

Carefully and using a procedure I learnt from confirmed sources.

This is 9k repeating this time with 13k

An update on how we are tracking against 2014/15.  We remain well ahead of schedule at approximately the target price for the halvening (May 2020 price target).

Your mileage may differ.  People kept complaining about this chart all the way down as well.  I could 'accelerate' it to match the halvening peak and it would have a near perfect fit, but I'm not going to.

  Which is nice but seems rather optimistic.

You are quite a scum of a human being arent ya

Once again

Yes... but this is the "real" ded this time. Do I need to spell it for you?


This time is different.  Get a grip.

Don't worry, it is just bots dumping until they get the usd balance positive. Bots don't sleep. LOL

Note: If they hack the core of a site they can get the seeds and get through your TOTP MFA. This is not possible with Yubikey.

There's no point banning his account, or his IP. Anyone can use a VPN or Tor and just create new accounts. So we just let him be, at least it is confined to his one account now. Most of the things he says about physical metals or bitcoin or crypto in general are just wrong anyway. I've tried to reason with him and he didn't even attempt to give a coherent answer. After about a hundred pages, you'll notice a pattern to his ramblings; it's all the same thing, some not even being said differently.

You could make a magic 8 ball with all the stuff he says, then just consult that every other day. You'll feel like it's a post on the forum.

Massive Crypto Whales Move 318,649 BTC Worth $3 Billion in Just Six Hours

In a matter of just six hours, whales have moved 318,649 BTC worth more than $3 billion. All of the transfers happened between wallets of unknown origin.

JSRAW?   Can you confirm this assertion?    If JSRAW does not confirm, I cannot put much higher odds than 50% that we will never see 4 digits again.

Of course, the lower you go, the less probable... So yeah there have been quite a few people looking for below $9k, and jesus, we were already at $9,049 which would have been about a 35% correction from our $13,880 local top.  Why the fuck expect more than that?  

Trains needed badly....
Fast Food devoured, feeling F***up.
Time to HODLsleep, night!

Trains merited. I am happy.

Does Smerit ever refill itself?

Difficult to get me to come off of 50/50 very often..


No way would I characterize myself as a professional traitor, but I think that i have worked out some pretty decent laddering techniques for myself in the last few years that were kind of a follower to my earlier dollar cost averaging accumulation phase.  When we had gotten stuck in the $250-ish bottom for so long in 2015, I had supplemented my technique into adding a selling component... Before mid-2015, my technique largely only involved buying and if I ever sold anything, I would replace within 24 hours or so.  I am still a little that way in terms of trying to engage in a kind of allocated amount, but my system does have a built in allowance currently for selling that did not really exist for nearly the first two years that I was getting into BTC starting from late 2013.

Anyhow the laddering technique seems to largely cause me to NOT get too emotional about BTC short term price directions, but like anyone who is holding some corn or at one time had held some corn (maybe having had recently sold), I get nervous when the price gets on an overshooting rampage that goes quite beyond expectations - sometimes 2x (as in the final push below $6k in December 2018 or even how quickly she moved above $10k this time around into the $13,880 territory) or 3-5x (as in the December 2017 push up to $19,666).  

For me, there tends to be a bit more nervousness on the way down rather than the way up, but mostly my nervousness won't really start to kick in on the way down as often as it used to do, but even these days it can start to kick in around 30% or so but sometimes even a 30% correction can be part of the expectation so I might not get nervous until it goes to 50% down or if it just keeps on lingering in the lower part of the down, which causes me to fear that it may be going to down more.. but my system does not allow me to sell, it just causes me to buy more as it goes down, rather than trying to bet on the price going down more

But even on the way up, when it is going UP so much, I will frequently question whether I need to alter my selling plan (and perhaps sell a bit more corn) because of the severity in which the price is rising.  Even though I have those kinds of fearful thoughts, I feel that I kind of learned my lesson on that, already in late 2015, when I tried to second guess matters, and I just ended up kind of screwing up... So in essence, I have learned that it is usually just better to stick to my plan course, and of course these days when I am playing with a decent amount of equity, I can act with even less feelings about even the BIGGER of price movements.

I understand that it could make a difference if I happen to be 4x in BTC profits or 20x in BTC profits, but when the floor of the BTC price movement starts to seem that it is becoming quite solidly grounded in the neighborhood of 10x in profits, then it becomes way more easy to rest assured... and just attempt to stick with 50/50 thinking... even if I remain curious about what is happening with BTC price movements... I am surely not going to deny that.

You know when we got the nearly 3.5x price appreciation in less than 3 months from $4,200 to $13,880, there is both a kind of rest assurance that the cushion from the $3,122 bottom is way more secured (and harder to reach), but there is also some anxiety regarding how far the inevitable BTC price fall from the exuberant period of the $13,880 top is going to be based on how well buying support has been able to keep up, especially in the last few weeks, the price rise was getting really outrageously unstable in the upwards direction.  Those FOMO fool buying fucks.  

But if $9,049 ends up being the bottom for this particular BTC price correction, then that should also be a decently bullish feeling, even if we still cannot know for sure whether 4 digits are going to again be revisited in the kind of attention-whore volatility drama way that baby BTC happens to be known.  i know, I know, I know.. she cannot really help herselfie because it is just peeps pushing her price movement as much, as far and as long as they can get away with it.


Sounds like we are probably on a similar kind of page in terms of detecting what seems to be a decent amount of trend that is going to be difficult to undermine, even if a lot of cash is thrown at attempting to crash the baby BTC.  If she don't wanna crash, she don't wanna crash.  I think that there is generally a lot of ongoing good news out there that is just fucking the hell out of the effectiveness of any FUDding attempts and like you seem to be suggesting, the trend is your friend... so those of us who go with it, rather than fighting it will likely be better off.   hahahahahahaha   or get reckt, if you happen to want to buck the trend and think that you are smarter than the market.

Aight.  Here we are knocking at the top of the channel for the THIRD time in 2 days...  What do they say about third times?

Hm?

Another "down before up" prognosticator.  May the luck be with you, in the event that you are betting on such proposition, along with a decent number of others who are betting on "down before up," yet need not be named at this time.

Surely, I appreciate that you built a confirmation into your response.   That lends a hell-of-a lot more credence to what you proclaimed.


Likely, too many people remain too nervous about being too close to returning to 4 digits to celebrate.  I am feeling that we can celebrate that the bottom of $3,122 is likely "in," but even with that, I can hardly muster up much more than a 75% confidence level.  Maybe I am too shell-shocked or conservative or merely afraid to get too cocky regarding where we are going, even though I am not too afraid to get cocky and even to laugh the fuck at how the shitcoiners seem to be fairing with our most recent BTC price dynamics in the past 4 months or so.

But, in that, I would only be rubbing in past performance - or even looking at a 2 year timeline and comparing BTC to almost any other crypto.  The vast majority of those shitcoins are not fairing too well, relatively speaking, but I am remain less than cock-assured that some of them might not get some pumpening infusion at some point in the near future.  So I am a hell of a lot more confident to NOT invest in any of them than I would be to either short them or bet against any of them for short to medium term pumpenings, at this point.   


Maybe the whole supply was used up last month? and, there is a bit of reluctance to prematurely ejaculate - even though I would pose that a breaking above $13,880 would infuse some renewed enthusiasm... and maybe even inspire some currently reserved folks to travel to the pyromania warehouse for an unscheduled withdrawal of goodies.

I believe that currently it is way too soon to accept your assertion with any level of confidence as gospel.

Quite possible.

 'Not probable' is what you meant to say.

How many definitions has Bitcoin: currency, value reserve, financial revolution, digital gold, inefficient database, Ponzi scheme, only bubble, etc ... all true and all false, depending on your background.

In this very interesting article the author goes much further, coming to define Bitcoin as a living organism, a new form of life!

First:  Saying that something is gospel or NOT is merely an expression to reflect a kind of certainty in the proclamation that is being made.  There should be no need to assign any kind of christianity meaning to such an expression, especially in a thread like this.

Second: I have no idea what purpose is served to emphasize anything related to roach.   Surely, each of us might be guilty, a bit, in giving that goofball too much attention, even such attention had meant to be in the negative.  Personally, I do not agree that he should be ignored, either, because then his ideas would then be allowed to run rough shod out there... My point is why the fuck is there any need to refer to roach in this particular matter?

Third:  Maybe you could have been the first to call "no more four digits" with such enthusiasm, but really this whole matter seems to be kind of coming off as you wanting sorcerer status.  Who cares who said what first?  Many times we have all kinds of ideas that are batted around in this thread, and it is not like any of us have very many original ideas, even if we might become known for repeating certain kinds of themes.  I guess what I am saying is that I wonder what kind of need there is to be the supposed first, because in the end, none of us really know about these price dynamics, and if we happen to get some kind of prediction correct, that seems to be more a matter of luck rather than something that we really had any kind of meaningful foresight into, amiNOTrite?

Of course, I have gambled.  I am old enough to have a lot of different life experiences, and surely some of those life experiences involve a lot more risk taking than others.

...

So?  What kind of approach are you suggesting, degxtra1?  Even  if we feel that there is "no chance" of BTC going below $10k ever again, we still need to work within a budget, don't we?  Also, even if we assume no lower than 5 digits in this particular BTC market, even a drop down to $10k would be more than a 15% price drop.  How should we deal with that, if it were to occur?

Are you suggesting  BIG baller moves, degxtra1?  Is there any difference in how newbies might approach our current BTC price situation as compared with someone who has already largely established his/her BTC position?

So you're saying BTC will never crack $13k again, and also cease trading entirely in early 2021? This is the dumbest chart I've ever seen, and I've seen a lot of dumb charts in my day.

Still well above 10K,hopefully no more four digit figures again.Hold your hands together!

If we can hold this level around $10,300 for two more hours, we should get a nice relief rally tomorrow

To be friday, they are a bit pessimistic, we will return to 10500, if we cross 10700 goodbye 4 digits.

BTCullish

It is time to turn off your computer.

Its strangely quiet around here.  JJG took a day off  , Roach not enlightening us with rare never before seen knowledge about metals, centralization designs, and pyramids.  

Guys, I've decided to give my alter ego, r0ach, a vacation. I'll be posting with this account for a while.

If you can have enough bitcoins, you'll have infinite sex so the answer is clear.

Thanks. Merited.
There's only one way to prove to be the real SN. We all know, and if it does not happen, every new "Real Satoshi" is nothing more than a joke.

There has been a kind of pattern after the close of the weekly candle, that the pamp comes soon thereafter.

Has been a seeming pattern since about April 1.. if not before that... but whatever, who really knows?

2015 fractal that everyone loves to hate

It's simply awesome watching the price crossing all resistances like butter. This is the Bitcoin experience I was missing lately

$2K in less than 24 hours...

While I tend to hodl, I had to sell a few when it peaked over $10k. A 36% jump is bound to have a slight correction even if medium term things will go up.

I'm helping to fund a seastead factory so I need a bit of cash for equipment. Been feeling a bit down not being able to put in my share...I refused to sell at such low prices.

$9600 in one hour tbc

Please read my analysis > https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5205204.0

Please forget about the halving by the way this is a delusional bet.

I for once place a sell order at 9k and wait for next year scenario but a price of 1k would be fantastic. That's a very long term scenario though. I would even say 1k would be necessary for another big peak at 20k (and possibly above).
