Title: The Lame Train to Nowheresville Post by: GeniuSxBoY on August 24, 2011, 05:07:52 PM It's pretty clear that nobody is buying bitcoins anymore. Anyone that's going to buy up a lot of coins right now to prove me wrong is just throwing away money. :-\ The only reason the price is staying in place is because of a select few rich individuals that can absorb enough coins to counteract any attack. Nobody is selling because they see how much money is 'readily available' but that money would be used by now if it were intended to be used.
It's like playing a nice game of basketball, when all of a sudden Lebron James enters the game. At first you're like HELL YAH.... then you quickly realize that the only one scoring is Lebron James. Title: Re: The Lame Train to Nowheresville Post by: oakpacific on August 24, 2011, 05:37:59 PM You praised Lebron James, that immediately makes your whole post worthless ;D
Title: Re: The Lame Train to Nowheresville Post by: coined on August 24, 2011, 05:39:20 PM I think you have overreacted to every market up and down movement since you got here, now your overreacting to the market staying still, you would be one of those wall street guys that jumps out the window ;D
chill out man :P Title: Re: The Lame Train to Nowheresville Post by: GeniuSxBoY on August 24, 2011, 05:48:01 PM Seems like a dictatorship. "This is what the price will be"
instead of "this is the value of the collective minds of a community" Title: Re: The Lame Train to Nowheresville Post by: Edward50 on August 24, 2011, 06:29:10 PM It is good that people are finally seeing the obvious market manipulation that I have been speaking about for so long now. It is obvious as ever when all of a sudden the bid side of mt gox. was increased by like 100%. Like I stated before, when we dropped to $5 dollars the bid side of mt gox. dropped by a large amount also.
The only reason anyone would try and prop the market up is because they hold a shit load of bitcoins and think they can increase value by trying to set a floor on the price. I do not see how it can work long term as miners keep selling. Already it seems the price is falling to these floors. The only reason this person is holding in so long is that there is nobody selling huge amounts of bitcoins into these bid walls. When this last manipulator pulled out of the market, the price of bitcoins fell to $5 dollars. What made him pull out was some individual was selling huge amounts of bitcoins into his bid walls. So this person had to buy thousands of bitcoins, and his walls were being sold into by someone. Seems like this peson who sold into these bid walls is not doing it now, so this person is back trying to set a new floor on bitcoins. With a fake floor in place, miners should be selling their bitcoins into this because I can not see it holding for the long run. Title: Re: The Lame Train to Nowheresville Post by: tvbcof on August 24, 2011, 06:55:46 PM It's pretty clear that nobody is buying bitcoins anymore. I'm buying again. Got various bids in at different levels. Just waiting for another shakeout like a few weeks ago to see if they get hit again. I missed my big purchase by about 40 cents last time. Oh well...maybe better luck next time. Title: Re: The Lame Train to Nowheresville Post by: S3052 on August 24, 2011, 06:58:13 PM It's pretty clear that nobody is buying bitcoins anymore.

Already it seems the price is falling to these floors. The only reason this person is holding in so long is that there is nobody selling huge amounts of bitcoins into these bid walls. This may be true, but at some point prices dropping due to this effect reach an equilibrium where it is no longer profitable for miners to mine and immediately liquidate. Guess what happens then? They stop selling. When this last manipulator pulled out of the market, the price of bitcoins fell to $5 dollars.

Seems like this peson who sold into these bid walls is not doing it now, so this person is back trying to set a new floor on bitcoins. Speculate much? (: With a fake floor in place, miners should be selling their bitcoins into this because I can not see it holding for the long run. Define a "fake" floor. Traders have put in bids at given prices. If someone were to go sell through these floors, the orders will execute. Seems like pretty real trading to me... Title: Re: The Lame Train to Nowheresville Post by: ruski on August 25, 2011, 12:25:35 AM Dont curse liquidity. Sounds to me like you're jealous and/or want cheaper coins. This "one big investor" may well be a fund. Remember those dark pools? Their money has to move too. Find something useful to do with your time OP.

Title: Re: The Lame Train to Nowheresville Post by: joulesbeef on August 25, 2011, 04:19:54 AM stability is a good thing when you want bitcoin to expand as a currency.
volatility is great for speculation and gambling the question is what do you want it to do? were you happier at $6? I'm guessing you were happier when it was fluctuating like crazy. and You know the planet is still feeling some economic pain? Not exactly the time to try something new and unproven as a safehaven. Sure I'd love to see it at $50, actually I'd like to see it drop to $1 tomorrow and then rally to $50 on monday But hey I'm happy with stability as well. Title: Re: The Lame Train to Nowheresville Post by: GeniuSxBoY on August 25, 2011, 05:28:45 AM Quote stability is a good thing when you want bitcoin to expand as a currency. Stability in an environment deemed as "growing" is terrible. Ask any midget. Title: Re: The Lame Train to Nowheresville Post by: joulesbeef on August 25, 2011, 05:33:35 AM I called midget hotline they say it is ok as long as I meant, places to spend bitcoins and not new people with them in their pockets.
But point well taken. Meuh.

Just in case I am not clear, GeniuSxBoY is on my asshat list. There are only 4 or 5 of you on there, so, hey, good job! You and AngelusWebDesign, BTC-Joe and Tonto can go have a party. Title: Re: The Lame Train to Nowheresville Post by: proudhon on August 25, 2011, 12:18:59 PM Interesting. There's a bot executing trades every 3 seconds or so. I noticed it doing it's thing and I wanted to see what would happen if I tried to execute a small trade while it was doing it's thing. So, I place a small sell on the order book about 5 minutes ago. It still has not executed. That's never been the case for me. Every order I've ever entered has executed within seconds of being placed, so I wonder if this bot's action is somehow preventing people from executing sell orders...
