Masterluc thinks it's over.
Well, so the present drop ends somewhere in the red circle.
So, the price hit somewhere close to 61.7% Fibonacci of the entire growth from 150 to 19800.
You know what it means? That the Third
(wave?) is completed and we became its witnesses =) For this, congratulations to you.
What's next? Next is the Fourth (going on now). And then the Fifth somewhere in the area of 100k.
The current drop will bounce back very well into the area of 13,000-15,000 in the short term, where those who bought up on my advice will be able to sell off, but have already managed to curse everything and wet the diapers. Bleed there, because it is not for you.
The critical level at 7700 does not really matter anymore, because I see that the wave is over.
Well, here's my idea for trading watching
https://ru.tradingview.com/chart/BTCUSD/hg0S8xjw-historical-3-looks-to-be-completed/Just bought some extra BTC, let's see where BTC takes us.
In Masterluc we trust

You think this is just the beginning of a down spiral?
*puts tinfoil hat on*
What if the wall street boys knew this was coming and decided to get some cheap bitcoins before the crash.
It would make sense that Bitcoin goes to the moon when Wall Street crashes, we have seen it many times before, in times of turmoil people tend to go towards Bitcoin. In 2017, BTC was in high demand in Zimbabwe, Venezuela and South Korea. All of them had some form of financial tensions.

Finally some carnage. This is starting to look like a "real bitcoin crash"TM. But don't worry; this is not the end of Bitcoin. Even if we fall to $3,000, this is not the end. Bitcoin has survived 3 previous crashes of magnitudes 15x, 5x, and 6x; this crash has cut the price by a factor of only 3x -- tame in comparison.
Bitcoin is a virus. The reason we won't fall back to where we came from at $1,000 is because we've infected so many new people -- our base of "hodlers" in now larger than ever. Also remember that bitcoin has just received more global attention than at any other time in history. We now have another opportunity to get some real work done on adoption, usage and on-boarding new people, as we build a pad for the next launch.
I think Bitcoin is destined to become a global peer-to-peer electronic cash system that will change the world as we know it in many ways. Do what you need to do, but don't lose hope.
I agree. Cryptos are here to stay. HODL and enjoy the ride.
I agree and I would like to add that the base of "hodlers" will only continue to grow. We are getting closer and closer to adoption. If we look at the adoption life cycle and judging by the kinds of people who have gotten into crypto recently, I think we are passed the early adopters and are now at the early majority stage.
On different note I would like to add, we all hope that the price of Bitcoin rises and we become more wealthier than we currently are, but to become more wealthier we need to endure some hardships first. This is one of them. You cannot get rich quickly unless you win the lottery and most people blow their winnings within a few years. It is better for your own self worthiness that you earn this opportunity, by
enduring the hardship that way you feel more rewarded when Bitcoin rises again.
Think about it this way, future generations will be using this kind of technology, but far more advanced than it is now. They will take Bitcoin and blockchain for granted, just like most kids today take the internet or mobile cellphones for granted.
Think longterm not shortterm.

I do indeed work in standards as my day gig. However, ones of a very different nature. Without the standards I work on, none of this shit would even
start working.
I thought you were too crypto rich to have a day job.
The picnic bear works because he "like it..".
hahahahahhaha
He works for the enemy, the USG.
In his spare time he volunteers for their asset, Ver, and the corresponding chicom asset, Wu.
Your assertion that I work for USG is simultaneously laughable on its face, and truly deserving of ridicule. It is quite apparent you are speaking of things of which you have zero knowledge, despite the fact that the open record in this very venue provides all required to see how truly laughable the assertion be.
What asset is the USG's? You mean the Federal Reserve Note? No. No volunteering on its behalf.
Oh you mean Ver is the USG's asset? First, I find the assertion that Ver be a USG asset ludicrous. You do realize he has at times been denied entry visa, right? Do you assert that as part of his 'plausible cover backstory'? Second, while our visions of the best means to free humanity from fiat slavery seem largely aligned, I certainly do not 'volunteer for Ver'.
And I suppose you mean that Wu is a chicom asset? I really have little direct evidence to say yea or nay here. Never met the man. Nonetheless, I might point out that Bitcoin Segwit is dominated by Wu in any sense that Bitcoin Cash is dominated by Wu. Further, I certainly do not 'volunteer for Wu'.
You should probably keep your vomitous crapulation to yourself. You are only serving to make yourself appear stupid.
Actually, Jbreher. I had thought that Last of the V8 had no fucking basis at all for his shot in the dark last grasp at a USG govt assertion, so I totally shrugged off his claim.
However, now that you so vehemently defended various angles for why you are in "no way" affiliated with USG in any kind of way whatsoever, I am becoming more convinced that there has to be some kind of a USG connection there, somehow... someway. New tentative theory has gotta be that picnic food eating bear is not really in the food stealing business, but instead part of dee gubmint.
and we better alert Torque to this new tentative theory, because surely he would be skillful at getting at the bottom of it... A problem with Torque, though, is that he prefers to come up with his own theories
..
as a history student I once did research/paper on the early history of institutionalized secret police in 19th century europe. parts of europe were fractioned in many small kingdoms, principalities and they all had developed secret police institutions. they sent out their agents to hunt the people who wanted democracy. to spy on them, to sniff on them, to create files about innocent folks. some/many of the agents became even agent provocateurs trying to infiltrate the networks of the democratic activists. there were so many of those agents that they sometimes outnumbered the real people at certain events. and that was just the start. those institutions have evolved since then. they had a chance to advance their infiltrating techniques and strategies for centuries!
I guess there are almost as many secret police institutions in the world as we have countries. big countries have several agencies anyway. (for example
germany alone inhibits more than 30 undercover working agencies!) add to that the incredible number of OTHER government agencies that want to know stuff... worldwide...
and how many important bitcoin forums are existing? a handful? some agencies monitor, some stir up, some collect, but get used to the fact that this forum is
full of them.

It's funny that you mention the possibility of government agencies on this forum. I told a friend of mine the other day I had become quite active on this forum over the past year. And he joked about what if big hedge fund managers are sitting in their big offices just posting and reading stuff on this forum. I never thought about it that way. But there is always a possibility that both of you are right. Since we do not know who people that post here. It could be a government agent, hedge fund manager, terrorist, James Dimon, the fat banker that has been posted quite a lot in this thread or illuminati lol

Sometimes I seriously wonder if people have some unconscious desire to be poor and mediocre. I just cannot fathom how somebody could wish to be more than they are without trying to work towards that goal with even the tiniest increments.
This bothers me a lot about people. I can't get why they are not willing to change up their lifestyle and mindset to reach the goals they desire. My theory on why so far, is that they are easier satisfied and they are happy enough with things staying like the way they are. Therefore don't feel the need to work on oneself. Some people just don't need much in life and are perfectly fine being mediocre. It's something that I sometimes I admire in people, the simplicity of being satisfied with less.

But why would they complain so much if they were satisfied? And why would depression and suicide rates both be climbing?
That is a very good question, but we cannot just assume that it's because the whole population of the poor and mediocre are all depressed and suicidal deep inside. Even smart people seem to be more likely to be depressed and doubt one self. Because they tend to live more in their head and overthink things.
With the arrival of the information age I think we have produced way more smart people than ever before. The internet has become such a powerful tool to educate yourself, anybody with an cellphone has a tremendous amount of knowledge in their pocket. Too bad many people choose to not use it to it's fullest potential. So that could be one of the reasons why depression and suicide rates are climbing. I'm not sure I have not done research on this matter.

Hopefully not to the tee. If the timeline was the same we'd be quite far off from mainstream adoption. Wouldn't mind seeing it a bit earlier than that. Wasn't the internet fairly unpopular until 2012ish and on? Don't really remember when it exploded anymore since I kept doing my thing unphased.
Now that we have the internet, BTC will explode onto the mainstream much faster. Every year now will be like 5 pre-internet-ubiquity years.
I agree, with social media, the news is in your face 24/7 now. It's insane how much the mobile phone has become a part of life. We are not far away from mainstream, Bitcoin as a brand has already been implemented in everybody's brain. As seen in the video of Ellen DeGeneres everybody knows about the brand Bitcoin, but they can't explain what it is. A few more cycles of bitcoin mooning and the mainstream media does the rest.

There were several polls where people tried to find a correlation between the income and happiness.
The population of US as a whole indicated that increases up to 75K/year would make them happier, but further increase would not (average US family income is about 50-53K).
Then, the second poll only dealt with millionaires ($8 mil average).
Millionaires indicated that they need 500% to 1000% increase in their wealth to feel happy.
High expectations!
That are very high expectations lol
I personally think wealth does not create more happiness, only to a certain point can it make you happy. By making life easier and have the opportunity to pursue your goals.

Not sure of the year but I think it exploded when the 56k modem finally arrived and you didn't have to wait 30 minutes for a playboy pic to load anymore.
Maybe the US was different, but I remember the internet still being very much fringe even when the first DSL flat rates were just coming out.

I overthink 24/7. It's what I enjoy the most, even when it gets frustrating at times. Also, having information available or even knowing it by heart doesn't mean that you're going to be great at assimilating it or at creating things by drawing from your knowledge and reshaping it into something new. It's why schools utterly fail to produce outstanding people.
But you're right, depression isn't just common among mediocre people. I believe there was a study that concluded that people with much less (e.g. those that are basically starving and have nothing) tend to be happier on average than people in first world countries. Not sure how rigorous that study was though.
I agree, schools are only focusing on one way of teaching. It feels like how I imagine a car must feel like when it is being assembled in the factory.

Bitcoin dominance up to 39.4% now, should hit 40% by the weekend, if the trend continues - I expect (specualte) alts will try to make a recover sometime around then
I’m on the wagon. Haven’t touched an alt for 4 weeks now. And dammit I’m not going to start this weekend. I’m better than that.
That's great, this will give me the opportunity to unload my last alts. Some extra BTC to ride this rocket to the moon

I find it interesting that the story about craig wright being satoshi has resurfaced again.
Not only in this thread, but I saw a few more topics on the forum today. I am not a veteran in the crypto space like most of you are, so I do not know if this has happened many times before. But I have noticed that certain news stories(if you can call them news) get recycled every once in a while. Which has an impact on newer people in crypto. Perhaps creating uncertainty or doubt?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jumping_the_shark Billionaire philanthropist and Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates said no technology has "caused deaths in a fairly direct way" to the extent that cryptocurrencies have.
He said that the ease with which people can anonymously buy drugs is a major problem, and suggested that
cryptocurrencies are used to launder money and fund terrorist organizations.
Gates also added that "the speculative wave" around initial coin offerings and cryptocurrencies is "super risky."
Oh the horror! Law enforcement will actually have to do its job again rather than just choking off the money supply and/or convicting violent criminals of money laundering instead of their actual crimes.
Also Bill was wrong about spam and Apple/IOS. So Bill needs to do some homework on cryptocurrencies.

Rofl maybe they should learn about ssl certs first before they try to offer a bitcoin wallet.
Fail. Dutch Rabobank rejects own crypto wallet
“Rabobit is a pilot and no part of our services. The position of our Ethical Commission with regards to cryptocurrency trading remains valid”.
-Everybody is corrupt and nobody knows anything. That lot probably just want to fill a database with email addresses of the vulnerable.
They have been researching a lot about blockchain, at least that's what they said when they were invited by the Dutch parliament to talk about crypto in January. Most of the banks and politicians who were there were only focused on the money laundering issues. Instead of the actual benefits and technological advancements that crypto has to offer. There was one speaker that urged the Dutch politicians to create a crypto friendly climate in The Netherlands, but of course the banks and politicians did not really listen.

??
that was nice to see.
Can someone with knowledge of the ETF markets comment on this? It reads to me like the market manipulation safeguards are not in place for an ETF to be passed YET but are being implemented now (Coinbase/Goldman-Sachs) and that the futures (CME/Cboe) are not adequate for acceptance.
https://www.sec.gov/comments/sr-nysearca-2018-02/nysearca201802-3676326-162451.pdfSorry trying to quote out of a pdf is a pain and I'm not going to reformat by hand (if anyone has a tool that will do this please link).
You can convert pdfs to word documents, just google it it's very easy. Use to do it quite often in college when I was plagiarizing things.
On topic, I personally think ETF's are coming just not on 10th of August. We will probably see a small drop when they delay it on the 10th. Most likely a bear trap, after that I think we will moon. All the news coming out and the price going up doesn't look like a coincidence to me. But then again what do I know I am a random stranger on the interwebz dyor.

Noted, No ETF, small rise until the 10th AUG, price drop, then back on the ETF news for new ATH, cheers
What kind of drop: $100s, $1,000(s)?
A technical indicator I would Imagine. Have to wait and see. Other question is how high will it go first, be nice to know that one.
Winkelvoss ETF got declined, but that was never really what caused the speculation for a bull run. So this news coming out and resulting in a dip can be seen as a final buying opportunity. It is the VanEcks and SolidX ETF that really matters. I think a lot of people have heard about the speculation of a "BTC ETF" coming but they are being confused by the Winkelvoss twins ETF and end up selling today.
VanEck and Solid X have tried before but failed, but now they collaborating together to get it approved. Perhaps this time it will succeed.

Today Circle and the CENTRE open source consortium introduced a service to tokenize US dollars and use those dollars over public blockchains on the internet: USD//Coin, also known as USDC. Individuals and institutions can enroll in this service to deposit US dollars from bank accounts, convert those dollars into tokens usable everywhere the internet reaches (subject to the token’s compliance controls), and redeem USDC tokens and cash out to bank accounts.
wtf is this shit? You can use my cryptocurrency but you have to follow the compliance controls to ensure the US government can track your every move. But it's so much better because your dollars are now digital! And centralized! And not really a cryptocurrency. And not really a currency.
They announced during consensus in May, that they would issue their own tokenized US dollar. Their own "stablecoin". It's interesting to see they actually went through with it. I wonder how many people will start using it and how it will effect bitcoin.

So I've just spent the last few hours scanning through the posts on this thread from mid December 2014 to mid January 2015. It is amazing how similar everything was back then to how it is right now. I recommend any one who is questioning bitcoin right now to go read those posts, you will see that this time is no different to back then and the lesson I learned is buy more coins.
I particularly like some of the comments from the members who still comment now. here's one from LFC_Bitcoin which I find interesting because I think he feels the same now as he did back then
Blood in the streets.
Is anybody going to buy?
I'm a lot of $ down but would anybody recommend buying now?
My favorite comment though is this one
Is crypto done??
No. Crypto isn't done.
But Bitcoin is.
Bitcoin will drag everyone down with it. But crypto will survive.
We need a crypto that can serve humanity's needs for the next 100 years. Bitcoin cannot do this. It's unfortunate that Bitcoin has died, but it has to be this way. Bitcoin achieved so much. No other crypto would be where it is today without the achievement of Bitcoin.
Requiescat in pace.

TLDR: He's going to recreate the entire internet within the protocol. All devices will connect, tv's, game consoles, search engine users etc.
For content and all else. I think he said gig blocks also.
So more proof he has no fucking clue what he is talking about, why on earth would we want everything in a fucking blockchain? We really don't need game consoles on the blockchain, we have standard SQL databases for shit that needs a standard database.
The thing is he will sound convincing to new and gullible investors. With them piling on as flies are attracted to shit. He had 4 other people who are building their own projects on Bitcoin SV talk as well. It was one gigantic sales presentation in order for people to buy Bitcoin SV. I predict he will use his I am Satoshi fakenews combined with some kind of product release to pump the shit out of the coin.

If we see under $3k, its likely to headed for $1300 says Tone Vays. Also bearish as fuck.
I was just listening to him and no disrespect but anyone can get ahead of themselves. He called it himself, RSI as massively oversold. A bear market can have sharp spikes upwards, I wish it was so easy that it just moved in one direction because thats free money right with no worry. This recent action seems to highlight the market is unlikely to move down without resistance, even to be negative it has to wear out buyers first.
So price is now about 50% retraced from 4100 and 3879 would be 61% I think any bears will come back in about 4000 which is the 8 day average and a round number which always seems to be a thing
Im not guessing anything like a trend down, nothing neat like that. Its more like a straight range we trade in
Now you mentioned RSI, here is my pro level RSI TA:
Edit: I see RSI hit 30 in September 2014 one more time on that 5year chart so, maybe we lose another %50, which means $2k.
Thanks to Somac. I have been reading the WO thread of 2014 Nov(page 9000 ish) till January 2015(page 10306) and it looks like the sentiment is almost exactly the same. It's really funny to look back and see most people being really bearish and crying or cheering over an increase of just 10 dollars. With some bears calling for $100 back then, I feel it's the same as the $1k calls right now.
Bitcoin usage only will justify a price of $25-50. Current remittances and the rare purchases in bitcoin are just not high enough yet.
We will likely approach $100 before rebounding. Speculators will come again but not for another year.
Bitstamp preparing to take bitcoin to $100 with this move.
Lately I've been feeling quite bearish and I know some of you have as well, but looking back at 2014-2015 has strengthened my resolve. So I highly recommend doing it if you got the time and feel the need to be cheered up again.
I am already looking forward to reading back the bearish times of 2018-2019 when we are in the next bear market

There are lab burgers, and the costs are plummeting. Being able to create human meat without human suffering will become inevitable. How will people react?
I don't think we will eat human meat, we will just create it for spare parts. Of course there will always be some humans that want to eat human meat. For now it's still quite expensive to create lab burgers? They will decrease a lot over time. The only problem is convincing humans to eat lab grown meat. People have a "bad feeling" around meat grown in labs. They rather slaughter animals pumped full of antibiotics and eat that shit.

People and their feelings are irrational, to put it nicely. Once you can get meat of higher quality and lower cost than the trash served at super markets everybody will jump on it. People are always afraid of anything they don't see/understand, but once it's out in the wild adoption snowballs. Like with bikes. The internet. Or with Bitcorn.
I don't see "normal" lab meat not becoming mainstream, but I wonder if people would remain put off from human meat if the biggest deterrent (killing humans) is removed.
It seems gross to me on a more emotional/impulsive level, but rationally speaking I don't see anything speaking against it.
Actually I have always wanted to try human meat lol. There was a news story I remember about a chef in UK using human meat without the guests knowing and they seemed to like it. Maybe I have watched too much Hannibal, he seems to make some delicious human dishes tho.
I think it all depends on how it is marketed. Lab grown food sounds bad. Lets call it something better and healthy sounding.... What about.... Enhanced meat.
Yeah, it's funny how fancy words and marketing matter for the average consumer.
Yeah I agree it has to be marketed well for the masses to adopt it. I am sure they will find a way because lab grown meat seems to be the way to progress.

I have decided to write about what have been my errors during the past bull run and subsequent downtrend till now.
First and foremost, when the time comes take some fucking profits. It doesn't need to be huge and it certainly would vary depending the individual circumstances but take some. It will make you feel better during the bear trend. It may be as low as 5%, 10%.... maybe a bigger amount if you plan to "gamble" on rebuying later in the downtrend.
How do you know when the time has come? Well, hitting a perfect top is just a matter of luck but, hitting somewhere NEAR the top is much more easy:
- You start receiving calls from nocoiners that are now suddenly interested in investing. They usually ask you for advice on what coins are a good buy... because Bitcoin is already too expensive you know....
- Exchanges can't cope with the demand. The trading engines not only lag extremely, but the verification queue for new users are weeks or even months long. Some even stop accepting new users.
- You start to feel that the rise has reached completely ridiculous levels and it should implode.... But since you already thought that a few thousands ago... why would it not keep pumping much more? Yeah, you feel like you are going to be richer than your wildest dreams!
- You start to feel not only as if you did a great investment but as if you had just hit some fucking and totally undeserved big lotto prize.
- You feel that the price has come so much higher than you would have expected (in that short timeframe) that, even when the necessary "correction" comes, the bottom will still be so high that you won't care about not having sold ANY... Because, you know, this time (tm) Bitcoin is so well known and popular that price would not decimate, maybe not even halve (and of course that $10K you never expected to be broken so soon nor so easily will act as an ultimate support in the worst case, yeah!).
I could add more signals of when the top has been reached or is very near, but I guess that's more than enough to get the idea.
This is getting long, so I think I will better be writing this as a series of posts... Some ideas I have in mind about more mistakes I did and how to improve on them are:
- Realising you are in a clear downtrend and what to do during it.
- Hedging with alts during the bullrun, near the top, and on the downtrend. Hedging with stablecoins (ie USDT).
- Managing exchanges and FIAT ramps for profit (diversify risk and get them all ready well in advance)...
- Lending
I am writing this as advice for my future self, but hope it gets useful to someone else. Will continue.
Excellent post, please give him some merit I have been out of merits for months. This post is going to be a very helpful guide during a bull run.
I'd like to add that with all the nocoiners asking you for advice and talking about it more and more. During the last bull run I had the feeling bitcoin adoption suddenly had skyrocketed. Meaning that my view of adoption was completely delusional because of the sudden increase of price. Which resulted in me barely selling any coin and not having extra fiat to buy back during the bear market. The price attracts a lot of people but that's not adoption, adoption is the people who are leftover after the attraction of the price. This is how I see it.

I have seen a lot early Bitcoiners do incredibly well. Then
they think they are investment geniuses and blow the lot on shit coins and end up with bags.
This is exactly what I thought when I looked at the article and later on his instagram. I think it can happen to everyone, once you make a lot of money you are likely to become arrogant and full of yourself. I would lie if this did not effect me.

Did you have any comment on this, ChinkyEyes? Presumably, you watched it before posting the link? Just the title is questionable "crypto", but I did not watch it, yet to see whether there is any content worth 26 minutes of my attention. Can you give some sense of it besides merely saying that it is "on Bloomberg"?
Not really worth watching unfortunately. I watch the mainstream media because I am curious what they are feeding the average joe. What I take away from the debate if you can even call it, is that the average joe will probably be confused and stay away from crypto until the next bull run starts.

Way back when, I noticed the alts would pump first then BTC would follow. When BTC would start to slow down, the alts would get sold off to boost BTC's price up. Wonder what game is afoot on this one.
I'm pretty sure that alts have at least one major run ahead of them. For example if BTC rises 7% atm, most of the "better" alts go up around 20%. So if we would have another serious BTC bullrun, money to be made with alts would be many times that rise. Not that I'm advertising or anything, that's what just the graphs are telling (me). I think BTC dominance will fall down as low as 25% on the next bullrun. Just time it right to swap the shit against BTC and you will be doin' just fine.
BTC dropping to a low of 25% would indicate a very good alt run. I hope you are right, but personally I am a bit more conservative on this topic. I do hope I get to increase my BTC holdings this way.

I have just bought a refurbished Iphone SE from China for 175€ to replace my older iPhone 5. No way I am buying their latest ridiculously overpriced models. Staying (at least) two generations behind seem to be the perfect spot for me. As you say it is a fucking phone, not a damn investment!
I had 64gb 6s for four years, gave it to my son, got myself XS with 256 gb memory. Why not splurge a little?
The price is ridiculous, of course, two observations:
1. Great camera. You wouldn't believe how much better it is comparing even to 7, SE non-withstanding.
2. Yes, it is a bit of a luxury (more expensive than it should be), so what? It is not a hublot for 25-40K.
In a grand picture of things, $1.2K on a two year zero % paying plan is fine.
Comparing to my "losses" in 2018 while hodling btc, it is close to nothing yet a pleasing toy.
I haven't gone for the latest ridiculously overpriced for many years. Many of my friends pay about 50-60euros a month to own the latest model. I prefer to pay 3 times less and save money to put into Bitcoin.
After using my galaxy s2 for 4 years I switched to Iphone for the first time. Used my Iphone 5s for like 3-4 years than switched to the SE almost 2 years ago. I liked the simplicity of Iphone, but lately it's going downhill and now I am thinking about switching to a Chinese brand.

Wait, twitter jack jack? Hm. Maybe some of his questionable actions are just a result of being in a tough position.
I used to listen to the Joe Rogan Experience all the time, and (besides an NPR podcast about BTC I heard previously, but wasn't as interesting) its pretty much the whole reason I got into bitcoin, after hearing Andreas Antonopoulos talk about it there.
So this Jack Dorsey guy was on JRE the other day and he took a _lotta_ flack in the comments... 10k thumbs up, 65k thumbs down.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_mP9OmOFxc4I should really listen to the whole thing. I think there is a whole Alex Jones crossover contingency that is pissed that their guy was banned from Twitter, and blame Jack for it, then blame Joe for taking his side.
But most notably he talked about how he thought in the future the internet would have a single digital currency, and he hoped that currency was bitcoin.
I listened to the whole thing yesterday, Twitter was the last platform to ban Alex Jones because he wasn't violating their code of conduct. Because of the shitstorm the podcast received, Jack is coming back with the employee who banned Alex, to explain what happened.
It's refreshing to listen to the CEO of Twitter on his view of Bitcoin, there are many believers in this space but everyone has their own vision and opinion on Bitcoin. It is what makes Bitcoin exciting in my opinion.

It really is disappointing reading dumb racist shit on a BTC forum. The contrast between such brilliant technology built to cross over and even tear down boundaries on the one side, and the small mindedness on the other is just shockingly large. How these people can entertain both realities is a mystery to me. Get the fuck out of your basements and go out and meet people you ignorant racist fucks!
I disagree on this. I think a new and brilliant technology invites all sorts of crazy and it benefits from the crazy people. I read the WO thread everyday because of this reason. I have nobody on ignore because I find all these kinds of different perspectives super interesting. I wouldn't want to read the WO thread if it gets heavily censored. Let people like r0ach and Ibian make racists remarks who cares, let Bob posts pics of green dildo's, let JJG write up super long paragraphs. This is what makes this thread the best place on this forum.
Like the famous Apple commercial:
Here's to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes... the ones who see things differently -- they're not fond of rules... You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can't do is ignore them because they change things... they push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do.

I agree they do not fall in the same category. But we are all WO participants, we all fall in that "category".
Racist remarks and wishing death on people, meh who cares? We humans have been killing each other for thousands of years, that isn't going to change anytime soon. If people get offended by their posts, go get your emotions in check, they are just words on a forum.

What a way to tie back into Bitcorn and speak sense at the same time.
Emotions are an important aspect of life though and we would be ill-advised to discard them entirely. They're the other side of the coin and need to be balanced out with reason. Similarly going overboard with reason is a poor idea as well. You can reason your way into anything you want, not matter how grotesque. Without both reason and emotion things tilt off to the extremes.
I'm sure I don't have to point out who in this thread tilts too hard towards reason and who tilts too hard towards emotion at times. We all know who we are. The question is what we make of it.
Yes I completely agree with you. The most important lesson we can take from this, is the ability to learn from each other.

Discard your cognitive dissonance, open up yourself to all kinds of crazy ideas, theories, opinions and learn from it.
What if Satoshi is the reincarnation of Adolf Hitler? would you still own Bitcoin?

P.S.: And the walls being pushed from the other side by lots of smaller (different sizes) bulls/bears
Hhaahha excellent!
Forgot to add: the bull and the bear have to wear special hats!

France Passes Bill to Allow Insurance Providers to Invest In Crypto & TokensKnown as “Plan d’action pour la croissance et la transformation des entreprises,” (Pacte) the act reportedly allows insurance providers in France to invest in cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin (BTC) with no limit on the amount of investment.
According FXStreet, a dual provision of the act enables insurers to invest in crypto through specialized professional funds, and allows them to offer life insurance policies exposed to crypto. The new measure will also impact professional capital investment funds.
The with no limit on the amount of investment worries me.. We haven seen many individuals get into gambling behavior with crypto. Most likely insurance providers will do the same.
@Elwar, hope you are safe and things don't get too complicated.

The Arnhem story is crazy imo, the city was already super Pro
BTC years ago, damn that community was fast @the party!
It's great that a city has many merchants that accept Bitcoin, the only thing missing in this, is barely anyone is spending their Bitcoins to buy things. Everybody just in hodl mode. If we want true adoption start spending and paying for things in
BTC.

After you
I most definitely will, next time I visit Arnhem. The thing is when a merchant who accepts Bitcoin, has not received many transactions with
BTC, they tend to forget the action required to make a Bitcoin payment. Which makes the whole process of paying with Bitcoin irl slow.
I’m going to be honest here - I’ve been invested in bitcoin (and constantly buying) since 2014.
I don’t think I’ve ever bought anything with bitcoin.
I mean I’ve gambled with bitcoin then sold some & rebought but I don’t think I’ve ever bought anything with bitcoin. I know I’ve never done it physically in a shop or something.
I think the majority of people in crypto have not done a real life transaction. I hope the app made by Jack Dorsey will help change this in USA at least.

Also, I'm not sure if depression is actually bad. It might be a mechanism that is supposed to get us to stop doing what isn't working and seek out new solutions.
This is somewhat how I view depression. My philosophy has become without experiencing depression you cannot experience happiness. Without sadness you cannot feel joy. It's something you have to endure to eventually become a better version of yourself.
Since everybody is sharing their personal experiences. How crypto has had a grip on me: it started in 2015 when I got introduced to a shitcoin, I already heard of Bitcoin. Put a decent amount of money into it and saw it rise x4 at the end of 2016. That's when I decided to dig deeper and created an account here. Then 2017 came along and I experienced the crazy bull run we had. During this year with amazing highs and profits I started to feel more confident and euphoric. After a while (which I can see now in hindsight) the profits I made, were linked to my self-confidence. Which is quite dangerous when I think about it. So when the bear market came and it destroyed my paper profits I was feeling low, insecure and doubting myself all the time.
It has now been almost six months since I have started rebuilding my self-confidence. What seems to help for me is routine and exercise. Going to the gym and lifting weights has been working quite well. A strong mind needs an even stronger body.

TLDR, perhaps insiders really did know something all along, it just wasnt about Bakkt or an ETF. Perhaps Globalcoin is much more beneficial for Bitcoin than both of these combined.
I think everything is contributing to the rise now. Bakkt (Microsoft and Starbucks), an ETF, Facebookcoin, JP Morgan Coin, Lightning payments in Cash app, the trade war.
+1 merit for the Billions reference
I beg to differ: it is not good for bitcoin at all. It would have been if they used btc, of course.
Now, instead of talking about Bitcoin story, all mass media would keep talking about is how facebook is "improving" bitcoin.
In reality: what exactly would support this stable coin for millions of people to use? I don't think that banks would be happy with this.
And governments? This would essentially mean facebook minting currency, which they obviously can't.
One interesting side effect: this would either kill XRP completely or banksters would run to it in lieu of facebookcoin.
Here (replace E-coin with facebookcoin):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ee-cHbCI0sI never really understood why people thought XRP would be adopted by banks. Banks have enough money and influence to create their own version. And would not make some no name CEO of XRP super wealthy.

Never smoke weed when you are already drunk. Every time I did, I ended up puking. When you smoke after heavy drinking, it's like when you close your eyes and everything goes spinning. With weed it feels even more intense.

Wait, so Bitcoin has 'developers' that can play God and alter my digital shitcoins in ways that I don't want? What happens when the developer does this to my physical metals??? Oh wait....they can't! Which is one reason metals are money and Bitcoin isn't.
Have you ever bought anything with physical silver or good?
Metals were used as money hundreds of years ago. Physical metals are primarily a store of value now.
Imagine going into a grocery store & trying to buy stuff with silver
That will never change in our lifetime.

The acceptability of metals as payment (since they're actual useful elements of the periodic table and not Ponzi schemes) will always be far higher than digital scamcoins, so there will always be motive for metals smuggling whether Bitcoin lives or dies. Also, if a paper fiat money dies and fucks over everyone, people will never accept another paper money in it's place right afterwards either, and just about everyone sees valueless 0's and 1's as the same thing as a paper currency, so you're also fucked in that regard.
I assume the guy in the article maxed out his rectum for 1kg of gold. Which is worth around $ 41k. So Roach you have to start training your rectum and maximize the amount of silver it can hodl. With the current price you could flee the country with $ 480 worth of silver up your bum!

Any time it goes below $8k it jumps back shortly afterwards. I lost the count how many times his happened. The chart says it was 3 or 4 times. There is clearly a strong buy support. It is almost like the buyers know what's about to come.
And I don't only mean the halvening. Probably it is BAKKT we are seeing in action here.
I would like to see another $6k just to buy more but it is probably not coming. DCA'ing only.
I decided last week to take a small gamble in order to gain a small amount of BTC, hoping we see a number around 6k ish. But instead I took the loss today as I don't see it happening anymore.
It might be BAKKT, it might be Globalcoin getting more interested parties.

The problem here is, the current system is going to go bust and the new system won't be gold based. Why? Because it is not practical.
The way I see the future, there will be hundreds of factions and altcoins. Will bitcoin be the biggest? Probably, but there will be lots of others. Some people will favor Monero, some will LTC, some will even use Bcash. Eth, Doge...
USD? Nobody will be using bank transactions. USD will stay alive for a while just because we price stuff for USD but it is not going to go like this forever.
When Bitcoin completes its evolution, USD won't mean shit.
All you care will be altcoin/bitcoin. Like LTC/BTC, XMR/BTC, ETH/BTC. Nobody will be following USD/BTC because there won't be a USD. Central banking scam is over. The beast grew far too big they can't control it anymore.
They'll just say fuck it, leave it to people (*and internet trolls)
*That's the sad part because shitheads like Craig and Roger will make shitloads of money if they didn't already.
Memes elected Trump for president for fucks sake. Do you think anything has a meaning right now? It is a full blown chaos on its way.
*I can affect the result of US presidential election from where I sit. Does anyone here have a slightest idea of what that means? It means I can be more American than a US citizen even though I don't have a US passport.
I think we all can agree that the dollar can't continue any further. But BTC taking over, right now I would say is a 50% chance. Since I doubt they will leave it to the people. It's why Globalcoin and JP Morgan coin are in place.

There are weaker OECD currencies out there than the $.
Of course there are, but as a reserve currency it cannot carry on.
It won't be easy to explain why they ditched the dollar and moved to "global coin" and "JP morgan Coin"
People will ask questions.
"You fucked up with the Dollar, why the fuckkk would we trust you again now?"
They won't.
If the current financial actors had the ability to find solutions to our current problems, we wouldn't have them in the first place now.
Actually it would be easier to explain why to use those options than to use Bitcoin. Remember we are talking about the masses here. They don't understand how the world works or don't want to. Using Bitcoin is way too difficult for the masses as of right now. A transition to global coin or JP morgan coin would be a lot more convenient for the masses.
I think we all can agree that the dollar can't continue any further. But BTC taking over, right now I would say is a 50% chance.
50% chance? More like 0%. Here are the only real possible outcomes:
1) If the system goes bust, the state loses control, mass chaos everywhere and disruption in power, water, and other facets of normal life, odds of going back to metals as money are 100%
2) If the banking system goes bust and the state maintains power, they will either be revaluing metals to recapitalize the system or launching a new fiat/digital currency slavery system they freshly print out of thin air. The US govt has an extreme shortfall in gold but (through JP Morgan) owns at least 1/3rd of all physical silver on the planet and will revalue that stack to the moon.
How does Bitcoin fit into ANY of this? It doesn't. The only way Bitcoin has any relevance at all is if we go through a prolonged period of YEARS and YEARS of hyperinflation without civilization imploding in the process. During that period it will be a pump and dump some people will profit on just like now, but at the end of the hyperinflation and transition to new system, it would be just like above with metals as the backbone or the govt attempting to use force to make people use their new fiat or digital slavecoin.
How would they distribute gold or silver? Make coins again? Why not make digital coins backed by their silver or gold? We live in a digital age, how are you going to order mein kampf online? Send some silver coins in an envelope?

50% chance? More like 0%.
50% chance for BTC and 50% for another fiat currency to be the world reserve currency.
It is true that Russia and China are stacking gold. But it's mostly likely a hedge against the dollar or to make the Chinese Yuan the next reserve currency. Therefore 50% chance for BTC and 50% chance for a Yuan backed by gold
People can then write out gold and silver certificates to transact with or also do it digitally, so metal's so called 'weakness' doesn't even exist when most people are going to be storing their wealth in a bank no matter if it's bitcoin, metals, or anything else being used as the unit of account.
Lol it starts off as gold and silver certificates and slowly becomes fiat backed by gold, and then repeat of bretton woods. So the cycle continues... and nothing changes.

^You are the full spectrum autism portion of shitcoiners who actually believe Bitcoin gets rid of banks. It doesn't matter if the unit of account is metals, bitcoins, or anything else, most people will outsource security and liability for it to a 3rd party bank. Whether we're talking about metals, bitcoins, or anything else, nothing removes the ability of banks to commit fraud because nothing actually gets rid of banks. In other words, you're either not very smart or lying on purpose.
Do you have autism? If so, it's nothing to be ashamed of... However you seem to be projecting it onto others, maybe something for you to talk about when you visit your therapist again.
Bitcoin single-handedly enabled my early retirement. It's done alot more for me personally (and that is an unerstatement!) than my gold/silver investments ever did.

So I'm thinking this libra nonsense will get heavily regulated, the states would be insane not to. And that will then be used as an excuse to regulate crypto in general, and bitcoin especially. It might be a good time to get around to moving elsewhere for those planning to do so.
Zuckerberg is not going to compete against the Federal Reserve.. only collaborate with the NSA. There isn't going to be competition against it all of a sudden. Only Bitcoin can survive in the wild doing it's own thing. A private centralized company like Facebook cannot ever issue their own money, they will use whatever US government allows.
This is another digital USD "stablecoin" thing. Nobody cares. It is either neutral or bullish for Bitcoin as it once again gives it free publicity and makes its case even more obvious for the idiots that still don't get it. Just wait for their Libra wallets to shrink every time they make the wrong political opinion on social media.
I think Libra will be the most convenient stablecoin. With a BTC/Libra pair, you can easily use your BTC trading profits to order a taxi with uber/lyft, renew your Spotify subscription or book a hotel on booking.com. There is no need to sell your BTC for usd/euro and then withdraw from exchange to your bank account which takes what? 2-3 business days?
Libra is what all those shitcoins/tokens have tried to accomplish for 2-3 years now by making a crypto card that allows you to easily spent your crypto on goods and services. If it works well and is convenient to use it will make the lives of Bitcoiners easier, if you are willing to sacrifice some of your privacy.

Market dominance is a shitty indicator, we all know why, and after Bitwise report we cannot ignore anymore his limitation, but, can still point in the right directions to intresting thoughts about market.
Market dominance just broke the peak during Dec '17 (price) ATH, it is now at the highest levels since April 2017.
another way of looking at this is the following relative price movements of shitcoins versus BTC over the last 3M
This is truly remarkable.
A few days ago i proposed 3 three reasons why market dominance is going north, I ask you again your toughs.
I list there in the order of market relevance, in my opinion:
- Technology has progressed, people studied and has progressed in the understanding of the cryptos and came to the right conclusion shitcoins are indeed...shitcoins. Shitcoins value proposition has since faced and now they are clearly revealed for what they have always been: (kind of elaborate) exit scams by fraudster to transfer your bitcoin in their wallets.
- We are on the verge of an epochal bull run caused by institutional money on the brink on entering cryptocurrencies. Of course the main gateways for this to happen is Bitcoin. I can't see them diversifying their investment into other bitcoins in the near future both because lack of regulations, lack of liquidity and above all security and scrutiny on this coins.
- The more Bitcoin performs versus shitcoins, the more the random investors will be keen on buying bitcoins and abstain to shift to shitcoins, because Bitcoin IS the asset performing. SO kind of self-fulfilling mechanism/shelling point where you don't want to convert your bitcoin into other assets
What are your toughs?
My toughs?
1. I think more non-retail money (increasing constituent, now) seeks the safer bet, along with the liquidity of the largest player / market in crypto.
2. The feedback loop. As long as alts whither and dominance increases, it only reinforces the trend. For now, at least.
My toughs:
1. I think BTC is now behaving the same way as in June 2016, based on this I researched a few alts how they behaved during that period and I have come to the conclusion they are going to keep getting rekt for a while.
2. BTC overall is a much safer bet than shit
altcoins. It's just not the right time for them yet. Perhaps when BTC is near 20k again.
3. Note to self: never hold alts during a bear market and the start of a new bull market.
4. Never hold shitcoins, BTC is just worth too much to risk losing

Bitcoin cameo: S2E3, they consider buying a tank for 60 BTC from the deep web.
"The third part revolves around an assault on the Bank of Spain.".. they stole Spain gold reserve. Inside the bank they melt 90 tons of solid gold bars into tiny grains. In the 4th part (2020) we´ll know how they will escape with that gold.

Great post! I haven't been able to check the WO for a month or so. These summary's are the best
Lots of rl stuff has gotten in the way, started a new job, lost a close friend may he rest in peace and started learning more about margin trading.
Bought a nice amount of BTC with my first paycheck, making the recent dip even tastier. I will continue buying corn every month. While fooling around with shorts and longs

Phats, halloween masks, santa hats, Bitcoins all the same.
The economics in that game thought me a lot more than teachers in high school.

When I was reading that article I was thinking of all the times R0ach was spewing that shit in here lol,
for a brief moment I thought they interviewed him.
Nevertheless we all know tether and bitfinex are up to some shady shit, just another day in crypto. Grab some popcorn and watch that beautiful green thick dildo rise up.

You new guys can safely ignore Lauda. She's grumpier than usual - not getting any dick as theymos has been busy on anniversary celebrations.
Lauda i think it's a surname, not the female name. You guys probably didn't watch Formula 1? You didn't hear about Niki Lauda?
Wir sind die mutter von niki lauda?

Currently observing 7206, got my paycheck today and I directly sent some fresh fiat to an exchange.
I did a big fiat injection into BTC around the beginning of October around the 8200 levels. I am regretting I did not sell on the pump to 10k and rebought again at these levels.

There is no such thing as being over invested in bitcoin. Pour all that filthy fiat into this imaginary digital gold token shit.
Nobody has ever gotten rich, from not taking any risk

Well, you are not "over-invested" until you are.
I would rather NOT have to come across any kind of scenario that I am forced to sell my BTC at any time that is other than my choosing. Surely, once your BTC become sufficiently profitable, then at that point, you don't really mind that you might have extra value in BTC.
Let's say that you have $100k in BTC value and $8k in cash, but you unexpectedly run into an emergency expense that is around $20k. BTC prices are in a dip, but you might be fucked because you are forced to sell off some BTC, at a time that is not of your own choosing, and worse if BTC is in a dip during that time, but surely better if your BTC are profitable rather than unprofitable when you are forced to sell some of them to cover your unexpected expense. Then as soon as you sell to cover your expenses, BTC does a 3.5x in 3 months and during a period in which you don't have enough of a cash flow to replace any of the BTC that you had been forced to sell during the dip. Sure would have been nice to have had other resources to draw from for that $20k expense, rather than having to draw from your BTC stash during an inopportune time, right?
Sure, my example might not be extreme enough, but you should be able to recognize what I am trying to say... you could end up getting wiped out of your BTC investment.
I have said, several times, that I had purposefully invested in BTC in a much higher than expected proportion than my comfort level (which is another way of saying overinvested) because I have wanted to feel a lot of comfortable in selling BTC on the way up. That is part of the plan to be able to skim off a few BTC here and there on the way up, and in that way, I feel comfortable with my level of overinvested.
So, surely, overinvested is possible, and each of us has to determine what kinds of income/expenses s/he has going on in his/her life in order to figure out what kinds of resources that we are going to be able to draw from when some of the unexpected expenses might end up playing out at the most inopportune times. Yeah, things are going all good and fine and thinking that we have cushions here, there and everywhere, and fucking bitcoin dips 50% and then 65% and then 85% and we thought that the bottom was in at 50%, and in the mean time, we have real world activities going on that could cause us to have some unexpected expenses taking place at the same time that BTC's price is dipping and at a time that we have already used up a large amount of any spare cashflow that we had in our sock drawer.. that is looking pretty sparse during those times of need. Why the fuck do I have to pay that tax? Why did they store gasoline in the closet? why is my new lambo/leer jet parked in that location, and why wasn't the insurance up-to-date? Fuck? Is the world against me, everything negative happening at the same time?
Yeah, shit happens. Especially if you do not adequately pee pare ur lil selfie.
Excellent advice and a rational way to look at your investments. I was just joking around about over investing. Even though it's true you have to take some risk to eventually get ahead, but investing in Bitcoin is in my opinion risk enough.
However the example you mention does not really apply to someone of my age, because most of my generation do not have 108k in savings/investments. I do not run into emergency expenses around the 20k. An emergency expense for me would be around 1-2k which I will be able to cover even though I have around 90% of my wealth in BTC right now.

I doubt that we are going to go shooting up to $20k, but I could see shooting up to $17,500.
Yet, what the fuck do I know?
I am continuing to think that once we get in the $17,500 to $23,000 range, we are not going to be hanging around in those territories for very long.. .yeah we could be there for a couple of months.. but is kind of like bat country... in my ongoing thinkenings.
I have been thinking exactly the same.... Many people would like to unload their coins at this range and it will make them angry and fomo back in at higher prices, when they see BTC keep pumping.
It could be like a repeat to early 2017 when BTC reached 1k again.

Bitcoin is either a delusional idea that sucks people into it's bubble and have you smell each others farts OR it's everything we think it is and it will be the lifeline for humanity moving forward and our first step away from our primal monkey brain.
Was this drop not to be expected? Blood in the streets, means buy the fucking dip. Double down or go home.
Outside this forum nobody dares to touch Bitcoin. Because to them everything is going to hell, the stock market crashes, events getting cancelled, holidays being cancelled, people dying etc etc.
I personally think there is going to be a switch where Bitcoin stops declining and the stock market does not. If such a thing would happen it would be the greatest investment opportunity for anybody outside crypto.

@mindrust
You don’t need to go anywhere. Just put on your big boy pants & buy back at least half of what you sold. We all make mistakes.
I’ve spent over £60,000 on bitcoin in the last 12 months. If I spent that money when I first knew about bitcoin I’d have thousands of coins, I’d be a whale (I don’t & I’m not).
You have to make the best of any situation you’re in. You fucked up, admit it & buy back. Have a really nice holiday & do something with the rest of the fiat but buy back some at least.
I agree with LFC, take your loss like a man and buy back.
Bitcoin is a way out of the system.
If you need a reminder how the system is currently run just look at this video:

Im a good bit of pages behind so sorry if someone already posted this.
Here is some
serious Bitcoin Bull Porn right here.
The (Central)
Bank of England released a paper Thursday on Central Bank Digital Currencies, CBDC's.
https://www.bankofengland.co.uk/paper/2020/central-bank-digital-currency-opportunities-challenges-and-design-discussion-paperIts long and mostly boring but a new idea is buried in it.
"There may also be benefits from remuneration for unconventional monetary policy.
If interest rates are, and
continue to be, low then central banks are likely to be constrained by the lower bound more frequently than
historically was the case. A CBDC that could be remunerated at a negative rate could be used to relax that
constraint, to the extent that the constraint was caused by the fact that cash pays zero interest (Bordo and
Levin (2019)). "
They just realized they can solve their problem of negative rates. You see they would like to have negative rates as the ultimate way to ruin savers and force them to spend their money on stuff they dont need and stay living paycheck to paycheck forever. Bankers know if they have negative rates for personal bank accounts then people will just withdraw their money and stash it. Cash pays zero interest and defeats negative interest rates.
Their solution is to give everyone Digital Banker Bucks and
when they wanna have a negative interest rate, they just make your Digital Bucks disappear over time in your digital wallet if you dont run out and buy stuff with it.
To confuse people about the theft, the devious obscurantists call it "Negative Remuneration."
Add that to the purposely confusing jargon vocabulary like Repos, Quantitative Easing, OMO, and POMO.
No wonder they freaked out about Libra, it was hard money compared to this.
Central bank digital currencies are definitely coming. ECB is going to have their own, Bank of England theirs and Murica is going to be strong armed into Libra. Even China has a CBDC in place. They are coming and your best bet is KING BITCOIN.
We live in very interesting times!

... pity about lambie slayer going into a full retard panic about the sclerotic 0.1%er global economy going into the shitter. He was ok until he caught the virus. Now it's like we got infested with another govvie trolling shill disruptor ... like roach got reassigned or something? The global economy was dying long before this angel of death bearing plague showed up, right on time for them sweet corporate and banking bailouts too I might add.
Yup, all fiat currencies are meant to go to zero. Just research the history of fiat currencies. They all ended the same way. The current system was destined to die. We are just lucky to witness it happen before our eyes. Hopefully we can see it happen without dying from corona
I gotta say, living in Europe and in a first world country, I am glad I live here and not somewhere else. The government protects businesses and helps my employer with paying for my salary. I know if I lived in a different country I would be out on the streets already.
