Title: Hold on to your butts...
Post by: Synaptic on June 17, 2011, 07:23:42 PM
All I'm saying at this point is that I have it on good faith right now that there is about to be a rather large market movement on MT. GOX within the next couple/few hours.

I hope this forum isn't going to be as fucking slow as it's been cause things are going to be hilariously exciting here soon.

Gonna be a fun weekend here..hopefully my last.

Sure, 10 BTC to your name and 10000 BTC in your blind trust.

If you do dump something like 100k you can always send me a courtesy payment of 1BTC to cover my bet that you'll lose me  8)

Fear spreading is something I connect to the OP after reading on this thread the past few days.

I'm a staunch realist, yes.

Do I care about successful FUD dissemination? No.

This forum for me is primarily for entertainment purposes, and secondarily for my own stress relief at getting involved in this bullshit scheme.



But this post, about the market, is not about fear.

For many people, it could be really good news, if they're really looking to buy low.

Sellers might not like it, but everything splits both way in a zero sum game...

Someone is deciding to sell everything after the price dips to the $13-$14 range? What a genius. Warren Buffet in the making.

Also, if he's going to dump, it will be sometime after 5PM CST.

Not 100% sure, but it's looking likely, especially if the market jumps up to like $14 real quick with enough depth for him to make a bit more in the dump.

Why didn't he dump 2 days ago?

Apparently the belief is that it's not recovering any time soon and is going to go much, much lower.

In fact, I disagree and think it won't go as low as assumed, but again I only have 10 BTC to care about...

I was thinking the same thing. Hmm... stable prices for 2-3 days, hold...  hold... steady now... oh, oh drop to 13! SELL, SELL!  ;D

Well I can't speak for anyone but myself in this instance, but I thought it was actually going to climb out of the stagnation.

Maybe he was surprised like me and wants to get out?

IDK.

IDK, people who wait until the price drops nearly 50% to sell just don't deserve to hold onto it. Can't have the responsibility.

The price now is still much higher than it's worth.

I personally doubt there's any investors/speculators stupid enough at this point to try and drive the price up to $30 again.

Maybe in a year when there's an ACTUAL bitcoin economy and not just a bunch of hot air, then the price might recover.

But for now? No. I think it's been pretty publicly demonstrated that the BTC hot-air ballon basket is falling.

If you were right, there wouldn't be such a large trade volume in USD every day. The price of Bitcoins must be high enough to support this volume.

That very well may be.  I don't really understand the market well enough to know if the amounts involved are enough to move it right now.

With the knowledge I have right now, I think it's a pretty good chance, but I've only been doing this for a week or so now.


I don't know if he'll even have the balls to do it if he doesn't see a jump to at least $14-14.5, even though he's scared as hell and wants out...

If the price of Bitcoins was $1, people wouldn't be able to buy $10k in Bitcoins (as they commonly do now), because that would require 10k bitcoins. 10k-60k or so Bitcoins are traded every day in total no matter what. So the price must be high enough to accommodate the larger flows of money.

The world is not only US and Europe.

What do you think will happen when Brazil and other Latin American countries have access to MtGox or other exchanges?

I live in Brazil and everyone is trying to buy bitcoins and is very difficult at this moment.

Just wait when all the world have access to an exchange or when Pablo Escobar discovers that he can use bitcoins instead of dollars.

And im not even considering a mass adoption which would make the prices go to 5000+ easily.

Well, I have to take a nap, so whenever I get back we'll see if I've been totally full of it, or just how deep the rabbit hole is going.

15951 Bitcoins sold at this instant (ignoring dark buy orders) will drop the price to 11.99.

Then it's definitely not going to $11.99 on my words...

Someone do something..anything..

Post by: meighty on June 17, 2011, 10:29:34 PM
Isn't that what a market is suppose to do?

If it goes down low and people start to panic, others will buy and it will start to drive the price back up.


Title: Re: Hold on to your butts...

Well maybe people will finally stop building new mining hardware, difficulty will drop and we can get back to earning a few from our rigs.

So what's the scoop? Did your friend sell all his BTC at $13.50? LOL. "Future Warren Buffet"

Judging by the price spike, no one sold, they bought.

Heh, yep.

Just woke up from my nap and saw that he did exactly what he said he was going to do.

I never said originally which way it was going to go, and everyone just assumed down.

Since that played perfectly into his plans, might as well run with it, I thought. I even admitted to one of you guys I was bullshitting about the "sell off"...

Hope you guys enjoyed the ride while I was asleep. :)

Eh, couldn't get my ninja edit off before you quoted me, but again, I did hint twice that my "sell off" info was fake.

But I was serious the whole time about the market moving.

It's all good. No one with a bit of sense listens to you anyway.  :D

No skin off my back, I told you I only post here for entertainment and stress relief anyway.

Doesn't change the fact that I told you what was about to happen in the market.

From what I've read of your posts, you need even more stress relief.

You totally nailed it. People love to buy for more, instead of less.

Yep, he got a good deal too, right on schedule.


Title: Re: Hold on to your butts...
Post by: Synaptic on June 18, 2011, 02:50:30 AM
BTW, I think he was a total fucking idiot for buying in. Don't think just because I'm reporting on the activities of one market mover that I actual give a shit about his activities.

So... are you still leaving after this weekend. Or can we be friends?

I was hoping his buy in would cause a bigger rally and let me sell off what few BTC I've mined for a much higher profit and save me from having to go through the hassle of RMA'ing some of my hardware...

Unfortunately it didn't get people rallying as much as I thought, so I might stick out a bit longer until I can maybe recoup enough to pay off at least one of my cards, then bail.
