The 0.05 aren't fees. I think they were test sends to make sure the address and all else was ok. After a couple of confirms the remainder was sent to the confirmed address to bring it (usually) to a round 5k.
Doesn't explain why 5k when that wasn't the lot size.

Maybe some bidders won several lots and that's how the buyers wanted them.
Maybe, but that means all the successful bidders won a lot of 3k and a lot of 2k (except one lonely single 3k and an as yet unpaidfor 2k) which rather implies that "all the successful bidders" is a very small, if not the unity, number

exactly, does not make sense.... it would seem to infer that there was coordination in the bidding, it would seem...otherwise it seems too symmetrical (everyone that won, happened to bid on a 2k lot and a 3k lot)
Odd.
Unless the coins are going to move again of course (2K to x and 3k to y)
Unless multiple addresses belong to the same person/syndicate and the amounts have just been split, still does not explain why all to 5K amounts , (not even sure this is allowed to have winning lots sent to multiple addresses ,surely the gov would be like, yeah that is your job bucko?)
It is odd about Draper and his 2K, either he/mirror are the non payers, or Draper/Mirror won more than one bid for 2K, or the coins are still yet to move again (?)
But it makes no sense to send a test and then the full amount to an address that is still your own, only for it then to split it again. If the 0.05 was a test, surely these are likely to be a new owner's addresses.

Yeah owning a boat is expensive as hell. Repairs, fuel, rent, winter storage, crew (if you have a yacht), taxes... you need a steady income for something like that, not a one-time Bitcoin cashout.
Lotto winners and professional athletes/musicians who come from humble beginnings run into this problem all the time---they underestimate how expensive a "rich" lifestyle is. Not to mention you have family and friends who feel entitled to handouts coming out of the woodwork.
You definitely have to be somewhat batty to go into large boat ownership unless you have major money to burn. It's a much better plan to butter up to a future BTC trillionaire, use one's masculine wiles to marry them and then sail away into the future with their gains.
If it flies, floats or fucks... rent it.

It was quite clear that the short term rally started. We clearly saw a triangle formation in our bitcoin forecast
Your newsletter has only one suggested position at the moment (from Sept 2):
"Get SHORT between 232 $ and 234 $ with a stoploss just above 240 $ and a target of 212 $."

Someone please remind me, in case I missed it, why does this happen on OKCoin?
On huge volume the price barely moves, then on low volume we have this drop (or the previous pump)?
I think it's a way to facilitate OTC trades without paying broker fees. It enables parties who don't necessarily trust each other to exchange without the "you send the money first, no you send the coin first".

Richy, may I make a suggestion?
In addition to the graphic showing how full the last blocks were, could you perhaps include a measure of the average fee paid (perhaps even denominated in USD) to ensure inclusion in the next block?
This might be a more accurate measure of how (over-/under-) congested the system really is, and perhaps help us move forward a little from this big/small spam/micropayment fight.
We're in danger of being the two guys locked in hand to hand as both plummet over the cliff.

This China 'clamp down' is this cycle's equivalent of the Silk Road bust.
At the time many thought it was another death (coz illegalz is all wot its good for), but in fact it cleared the decks for new money: people that had been aware but reluctant to get in because of the perceived criminal monoculture. PBOC now doing similar by actually doing their job (not everything is anti-Bitcoin conspiracy) and being seen to protect the next wave of new money that's hovering around, tempted to invest, in Middle Earth.
Applying retail standards to the markets is necessary for the next wave. The unregulated cowboy traders have had their fun, but Granny Shopkeeper would be mad to trust them with her savings. PBOC cleaning out the stables. so we can gallop to a new dawn. Forward comrades!

^yeah it will take a miracle to save the naked shorts now! :-D poor china
you keep saying this 'naked shorts' - I don't think it means what you think it means.
There are no 'naked' shorts in bitcoin, it comes from a time when there was a gap of some days between trade and settlement, when the very brave could 'sell' without having borrowed the underlying and have a few days to rebuy before the books were reconciled. I don't know of any bitcoin exchange that allows you to sell without owning or borrowing (against collateral that would be called).
I suppose if your tinhat is especially shiny you might think the house itself plays that game...

Don't get me wrong I like gold, I've been long gold and silver since 1996, the famous Goat got his gold high school training wheels from the mother-of-another in ye old kitco forum ...
... but time to move with times, gold has it's place, in history mostly and bitcoin is the future.
This. Same journey here.
It seems so long ago,
Some of us went long
Gold grew green candles
and was good to everyone
But this is twenty years later, and further, we are placing our chips today for the next ten.

GABI and other players sold /went short in anticipation of ETF result. When they've refilled with profit ($930ish?) we'll head up again.

Hold strong my friends
Nah. I sold a third of my stash. Bought a big ass OLED TV and placed a low buy order.
Well played. I want to buy an nice car from my profit of the last couple months. Ford mustang or a mercedes. Still not figured that out yet. Its good to take profit some times.
You guise are taking shiny baubles for Manhattan

Isn't Manhattan the shiniest among all baubles?
Well indeed. Thats why when the cleverer, richer, stronger people turn up - who can see that and are necessary to help build it - you'll regret trading them the most glittering future for a tawdry game show prize or a used Mercedes.
Some trade is necessary, of course: pizzas and space trips to show that it's functional and redeemable, but they're statements. Being able to resist near-term temptations for long-term gain is what makes us intelligent animals. You don't eat your seeds if you're just peckish.

Who could ever have imagined, a few years ago, that the head of the IMF would give a speech that included Bitcoin and SDR in the same sentence?

22 lambos so far. the "cheapest" ones start selling for about €160k. That makes €3.5 mil.
I guess I´d need to contact them for bulk rates. we should team up then and buy the entire company. from then on lambos will only be
soldgiven to veteran WO posters.
This is an obvious TLA de-anonymisation project. Cars can't be onion routed. Don't fall for it.

I've been telling you guys for years. Bitcoin is dying a long death, but it is dying. No question. See you guys at sub $1000 in 2019. Officially irrelevant by 2020.
