Title: speculation section is dead
Post by: balu2 on November 24, 2014, 03:09:36 AM
this section is boring today. No traffic at all last days/weeks.

The Ann-section in altcoins looks like a trashcan. In altcoins you get outright ponzi shemes offered and 'tripple your bitcoin in 5 minuts' stuff

Is it time to bail and just let it be history? I mean: participants and quality are declining not rising - for months

Altcoins is trash and scams. Bitcoin charts look like shit. The technology is actually clusterfuck, it's pretty fragile and not robust by any means. I think they need more developement but in altcoins it is only lazy people.

I don't believe in society anyways, why should this be working out?

Sell bitcoin, buy ripple and apple stocks?

Long live speculation section!


Things will get better once an uptrend brings in new blood.

Funny, you're part of the latest wave that brought in more trash.  If you don't like what this has become, work to make it what you want it to be.

With this long drawn out bear market there isn't much to talk/speculate about. We've had this 'pop and slowly drift down' scenario for the last several months and it seems people are burnt out. I suspect when there is a noticeable shift in price action, people will be re-energized.

Yep, at present we are in a speculative quiet period
Just waiting for a spark to move it forward again, same with anything there are periods where its tranquil
Then periods where things just take off all at once, so its a good week to relax and prepare for the holidays

Who the heck knows. Perhaps when price action turns around, people will be more enthusiastic. With this long bearish slant there isn't anything spectacular to speak about. We have been in this depression for some weeks now and it seems that people are starting to capitulate because of boredom

Everyone is in the Wall thread in anticipation of 10,000 pages.

Actually, it isn't just the speculation section.

Whole bitcointalk forum has become silence.

Sell bitcoin, buy ripple and apple stocks?

I understand what you mean by "Buy ripple and apple stocks"

 However, these two things are as far off as can be.  Ripple hasn't even taken off yet, if you buy now, that means you're buying lower than anyone did from the start in 2013 to May 22nd 2014. Ripple is like Apple and Microsoft in 1977.

If you buy Apple now, it's pretty much the most expensive of all time. They split the stock so all the young cool kids can say I love Apple, I even invested in their stock at $115 which really is like $800.  

The "buy signal" for ripple is so far off Apple, you can't even compare it to when we were buying it in 2009 for $75 bucks when Steve Jobs announced he was taking time off to spend with his family after being diagnosed.

Ripple has shown nothing but great engineering.  But if it ever gains any sort of liquidity or utility the sky is the limit.

Apple has shown nothing but their 180 Billion dollars is cash.  The can sit around losing money for the next century and still be around.  All they are going to do now is buy out their competitors.

I noticed the speculation section had a lot less posts after bitcoin started crashing. I expect most regular posters are either trading or watching the charts like a hawk to see how things work out. They might have more time to start posting when bitcoin rallies above $400 again and they can relax.

Don't forget the "suicide" posts in the speculation section.

Yes, it's gone to hell.

If this were a genuine article, a wise person would read this before proceeding to buy as many bitcoin as he/she could. I have a feeling this is not a genuine article though, its just too perfect. you think I should buy apple stocks at the top, and sell bitcoin at the bottom? You think bitcoin is dead because sentiment is low? I dont believe anybody could be so fooled by mainstream media.

I disagree.

Maybe less topics, but the discussion still alive and with good topics from time to time.

The wall topic is more alive than ever
