This is what institutions selling looks like.  Embarrassed Embarrassed


Yep!

Bitcoin "You merciless Bitch!"

But really on December 21st,2020 the price of BTC was $23,851.48 (see www.coinmarketcap.com)

current price is $29,543.80 from an ATH of $39,421.41 (see www.coinmarketcap.com)

Zowie! I guess if you have "Institutional Investors" and the HODL'ing gets "tough" they take their profits and leave the table ....got to justify

them bonuses don't ya know?

Hell, at this rate the big money and profit-taking by institutional investors could make BTC volatility much worse!



This is the point at which I should have found my muse to write the best haiku in the world, but I can't seem to concentrate even for a second goddammit.

One thing I can tell for sure tho: #nohomo

Ah...the "trophy wench" and fancy boat for her..slip farther and farther....from my HODL reach, now compared to the ATH...

damn it!

The upcoming geriatric leadership of the US banking thinks that 'cryptocurrencies are used mainly for illicit transactions' when the actual number from chainalysis is 0.34% and that number actually declined from 2% few years before. I am sure that more 0.34% of car movements and coffee drank was done by criminals as well.
This stupidity never stops.



Well, it is the only way they have to 'centralize' a 'decentralized' cryptocurrency like BTC/LTC, etc. They simply say what 'centralized' wealth wants them to say

we can't control it and centralize it 'unless' we regulate the hell out of it..thus taming it like other things like banks, etc.

That way, via 'regulation' we can manipulate price and usefulness with the fear of 'decentralization' which from this point on 'we shall call' 'chaos'

So to think that the centralized wealth and power of the world was 'not' gonna push back, well....that was a 'bit' optimistic! No one is ever so

pissed off as those who have 'missed' the boat on a major wealth generator like BTC/Crypto. Sour grapes make for a crummy wine. Smiley\

This is particularly glaring in that the very liberal left-wing (skoff!) Forbes Magazine today said it this claim of

illicit use was 'bogus' by Yellin.

https://www.forbes.com/sites/haileylennon/2021/01/19/the-false-narrative-of-bitcoins-role-in-illicit-activity/?sh=9065ecd3432f

Well, the fact that both Yellin and the head of the central bank of the EU continue to just ignore the fact it is not true...well....can we say 'panic?'

at the fact BTC has gone up from the low of March 18th, 2020 BTC price of $5,292.78 (see www.coinmarketcap.com) to the current price now of

$34,735.61  (again, www.coinmarketcap.com) that is a 6.5628 times increase of 656.28%!

I'd be 'crapping' my pants as former central bankers myself.

So let the sh*t show begin...it shall be the classic economic battle between 'limited resources and demand' and centralized authority and regulation.

Anyway, kinda surprised it took Yellin and company to finally freak out and begin to freak out about this. Sad

Before you read it elsewhere.
Fasten your seatbelts guys.

On January 18 Grayscale added 16,244 BTC to their Bitcoin fund!



More than 600,000,000 inflows on a single day.
Highest BTC inflow ever.
Highest USD inflow ever.
More info here, on my GBTC Observer thread.


Any info on others besides GrayScale piling into BTC? I mean what if they decide to 'slack off' and slow down purchases now due to the 'caution' of a pullback

and wait for the pullback to buy again? Is there enough PayPal and other Traditional Investors now in play, to at 'least' keep the price sideways?

Or are we looking at the usual 'Bitcoin you merciless bitch' ..plain old 50% pullback...brief or otherwise?

Thanks, just wondering if the current BTC price is a 1 trick pony with GrayScale hype/FOMO mostly.

Brad

Edit: You 'hang around' WO Bitcointalk Thread enough and info will eventually fall from the sky...anyway...link to some of my questions in article below.

Guys ('n' gal), this is fine.

We are virtually pinned to $36k for a while now. Yes, it's boring. Yes, we want higher. But, just pause for a moment, and think. $36k. This is a stellar value. Remember that we were at $16k not too long ago. This is a 125% increase in two (2) months! Have we become too greedy?

The fact that the price holds strong above $30k should make us all ecstatic. Sure, we all liked it when it reached $40k+, but there's no need to rush it. GTCTTWW. Patience and HoDLing will reward us all very soon. We've waited patiently for 3 years, what's another 6 or 12 months?

Not selling a single sat.
May even buy some sats (already regretting that I did not, when we were at $16k).

HoDL.

$9.244.47 July 13th, 2020 www.coinmarketcap.com.

$36,527.17 Jan 18th, 2021 www.coinmakertcap.com.6 months and 5 days.

3.951245447278211% increase

So I HODL. Because if it does even 1/4 increase of the above in the next 6 months I will be friggin ecstatic! Smiley

So, today, I did some degenerate sat stacking. Feelin' pretty decent. Looks like I'm gonna get filled @ $35,000 soon, at this rate. Orders placed all the way down to $33k.

Lots of deja vu doing this stuff. Don't like hitting targets more than 3x

Bob, it's good that you're stacking sats, actually I should be doing the same, it's just that I can't be bothered with the whole process of wiring the fiat and waiting for it to arrive at the exchange, etc., etc.

I wonder though. With so many coins you have (in the big hundreds or more, I'm sure), what's the point of buying $250 worth of BTC? Is this just for fun/entertainment purposes? Because, even when Bitcoin goes 10x (and it will), your $250 (or $1250) will become $2500 ($12,500). Just peanuts compared to the coins you have.

Not trying to criticize you or anything, just to get your point of view. Why not buy $100,000 (or more) worth of BTC straight away right now? I believe you must have that kind of fiat. That would be a move that would fit your stash and wealth level. $250 is just dust for you, isn't it?

On the other hand, "every little helps", and maybe we should all be doing that, no matter how large or small the amount. In fact, your post is seriously tempting me to wire a few $$$$ to buy more corn...

Sorry for getting a little personal, just being curious...

You're underestimating Bawb... or not following closely enough. He's been DCAing for quite a time already and don't let these tiny $250 buys confuse you. For example $250 x10 is $2500 and according to your calculations above if (when) BTC goes 10x $2500 will be $25000 which is not quite peanuts anymore. I wasn't counting but I guess Bawb bought much more than $250 x10 this time.  Cool  

Yes, I see your point, but it's all relative. When his $250 x10 = $2500 becomes $25,000, his stash could be worth several hundred million dollars. What's  $25,000 compared to that?

In any case, I do believe we should convert any spare fiat we have to BTC, however small it may be. It's just that, when one has hundreds or thousands of BTC, buying 0.007 BTC ($250) seems a bit strange...


If I had 1000 btc first off I would have sold 500 when it cracked 40 k.

500 x 40 k = 20 million.  I would set aside 7 -8 million for taxes.  leaving me 12-13 million.

I need 1/2 for living my life.  So I have 6-6.5 million to fuck with.

buying back $250 at a time will take me 64 years at 1 buy a day.  But I would have something to do for the rest of my life.  
And the key is I would increase to 500 if coins go under 30K.       now buy back takes 32 years
 I would then increase again to 1000 a buy if coins go under 25k. now buy back takes 16 years.

If you want to do DCA you need to prep correctly

So you wouldn't have waited till November-December? Costly mistake, man...  Grin

No I held 500 of the 1000 coins. Thus I must be 1/2 right.

If I held all the coins I could be 100% wrong.

At 40k making your self 1/2 right is the easiest decision in the world.

The worst that happens is the coins go up.  And my other 500 just become more valuable.

Your method is a certain way to be unhappy as you always want more.

My Dubious Methodology.

I no longer see BTC/Crypto as dying...so for mental games, I am doing the following...I have enough BTC/Crypto that any of the below I'm fine with...again,
this is my 'dubious' reasoning (as to date)

(1) Whatever the price of BTC/Crypto....it dumps 1/2 due to unforeseen and/or lack of adoption/regulations/aliens or whatever..and reaching this 'adoption'
rate..it just kinda sits there like 'gold' as for usefulness and adoption and from that point on acts like a traditional investment and maybe beats inflation
a bit year by year. This is my 'worst' case scenario long term.

(2) Same as above but pick a day with this dubious mental exercise but use 'today's price' (as of now $35,800.63) and same as above....adoption reached
under whatever silly scenario you might think of and BTC/Crypto just kinda acts like a traditional investment from now on as it has peaked.....again maybe
make 2-3% a year and beats inflation.

(3) BTC/Crypto does what it has in the past and goes up 2x/4x/8x etc, etc. NOT met adoption yet (with what I suspect coming inflation and bonds not
doing anything due to money printing to beat inflation)

So right now converting some sh*tcoins and BTC forks to BTC and riding the wave. IF I really get 'nervous' I can take the 'profit' of about 7 BTC from
my 12/24/18 Real Life 13 BTC dump at $3,900 ...the low of the low at BTC Hoard....and set that aside as 'no worse off' then the 12/24/2018 date...in
that the 7 BTC above is/can be recovered with sh*tcoins/some forks/and what I accumulated back.

So have an 'emergency' eject switch above of up to 7 BTC....but don't need the money for my retirement...gonna pass it all likely along in an estate
so we will see....stuff to do... Smiley

Its the 'math' ...inflation is coming.....current block size 6.125..in 4 years it will be 3.125...4 years after that in 2028 it will be 1.5625...only so much
'virtual' real estate out there folks.

Anyway, accumulating BTC dust yet, as we speak

(note: this can change at a moment's notice with a BTC/Crypto dump and me screaming like a small 9-year-old child...I 'always' reserve the right to act in ways
that are dubious to my long term mental health or self-interest.) Thus the 7 BTC emergency eject switch.

again, just what I'm doing for god's sake don't follow my actions! I am as my 'tagline' states 'clueless'! Smiley

$100k-$115k top somewhere between 20-30th of february

Changing this to $100k-$115k top between 1th-10th of march

That surely makes sense.

29th and 30th of February were not going to work out very well for you anyhow.. at least not this year.

Trump mad(e) history: Second Impeachment

Trump has been the best excuse for most American politicians not to do any work for years. Just whine and state orange man bad on Twitter every day. Job done for the day. Night night.
If there wasn't a pandemic going on with thousands of Americans dying every day the situation might be funnier.


On the upside, Bitcoin is up...  Cool




I can certainly guarantee that IF you had met the above girl at a social event and just mentioned your job, you'd be blown off. On the other hand, if you mentioned to

that same girl above that you had retired on BTC/Crypto....even if she was NOT a 'gold digger', I'd bet my own money she would then converse with you.

Does "save" here means to ignore the will of the majority, ignore decision of the judicial branch with the judges appointed by Trump, and in essence for loosing minority to commit a coup d'état while expecting the 81 million majority to idly stand by? Well, prepare to be disappointed.

More "redeem for valuable cash prizes"

All you really have to do is replace "middle-class white Trumper Supporters' with BLM protestors take over capital...and have the Democrats pull such a stunt

under Obama and the optics would be a "lot more' dire and we'd be looking at an 'over-reaction' vs the reality of this 'under-reaction' instead!

All will come out in History. Not like anyone in the Trump Administration will cover for this guy anymore. Indeed the amount of 'detailed' notes being

compiled for a 'tell-all books' of all of Trump's crimes are likely in the 'dozens' by now.

All will contain the line: "I stayed in the Trump Administration in order to safeguard his excesses, or it would have been worse!

In the 'electronic' age of 2021, it is gonna be 'damn hard' to cover up all this stuff..indeed it will be impossible. The whole Trump Administration is going to be

a lot worse of a mess than anyone, till now, has realized. What has come out so far is just the 'tip of the Iceberg" ...gonna be a rough winter of people

facing up to these facts as they come out. Sad

Keeping the $250 @ $33k, added another $250 order @ $33.5k again to double-tap that ass, and just placed an order for another $250 @ $34k.
EDIT: Added another $250 order @ $34.5k

Double-tapped the bottom @ $34.5k & filled @ $34k.

$33.5k & $33k orders still in play @ $250 each.

possibilities:
1. Bob is Searing 2, missing the "exchanged" part of the stash.
2. Bob suddenly likes to trade
3. both

I am leaning toward #2  Grin

Befuddled? Been buying on this 'dip'. Also, my $600.00 USA Stimulus Check arrived yesterday....all went into BTC. Smiley

I 'am' however thinking about dumping the rest of my altcoins and forks into BTC....don't like the way they are not 'playing nice with this 4x pump since 7/1/2020

They don't keep up on the pump and they dump 'way' more than I'm comfortable on such dumps.

112  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is mining doomed to end in big farms? on: January 12, 2021, 08:59:03 AM


Yes. When I turned on my 1st newbie miner on October 18th, 2013, Bitcoin at least 'some-time' that day was $150.00 even when I looked and I made about

1 BTC a day. The miner was a KNC Jupiter 550gh Bitcoin Miner and cost to the USA from Sweden with shipping exactly $5,131.80 pre-order from 7/1/2013.

Now doing the math (philipma1957 in another thread did the math) using Bitmain's new AntRacks monster units that ship 3/2021 supposedly and NOT counting

the import/tariff of 26.7% to the USA, nor shipping, nor install fees, and NO electricity.

Well, the price to just have the equipment to make 1 BTC a day is 'supposedly' by the math: $4,500,000.00 USD investment.

If that does not tell you 'big farms' are not the future, not sure what will. The big farms also probably by now need 2c-3c kWh electric 'at least' to boot!

You 'nailed' it! That is 'exactly' like BTC/Crypto works!

Brad



man if someone would have told me a few months ago that I would buy a dip @ 34200  I don't know what my reaction would have been..

I have no more dry powder.  didn't really know I had any powder, but found just a little more.  NOW I am really out of fiat.   

Is it just me or do "instant transfers" seem not so instant when your buy finger is extra itchy?
You're not the only one!
But I would not advise you to buy on emotion, you should have a strategy and pre-set orders, then you will not be nervous because of instant transfers seem not so instant!

I wouldn't say I was nervous. My strategy... BTFD.  Wish I knew when and how deep the dips are.  Unfortunately, I don't hahaha.

I find this a lot more easily said than done, then when we had like 2013 $150 BTC prices and it dipped 1/3 down to 'gasp' $100 for a BTC!

AT $40k to $30k I'm afraid my 'big brass ones' 'shrivel' a bit don't you know, my finger 'waivers' my 'bearish' tendencies yelling 'sell, sell....'

come over to the 'dark side' ..no need to HODL silly 'mortal' ...fiat is your friend! Smiley

So far I'm resisting on selling, but freaking out on buying (did a tiny amount of buy on dip today)...I need a 're-hydration' of 2013 level

BTC/Crypto Kool-Aid it seems! Keep getting distracted by the 'altitude'  (look 'bird!') at $40k and perfectly balanced with indecision at $40 on the fence.

Again, was a lot easier at $2.20 LTC and $150 BTC let me tell you! This 'high level' Mage type BTC/Crypto faith is a bit more 'daunting', don't ya know! Smiley

I'm buying at the 'dip' (or did today) just BTC Dust (about $190.65) but hey...I'm in this "LONG TERM"  yet, (I'm not that frigging old yet) so 5-10 years.

Also easy, not to take some $$$ and run with Pandemic and everything, in that I'm probably stuck till I get the 2nd shot (hopefully) till about say May 2021

Litecoin is 'almost' more than scammy BSV...I mean go baby go.....It has been a couple of years of confusion on how BSV could have been more

than LTC in the first place.

Frigging Craig Wright playing the 'fakeSatoshi' scam on top of all this.

but I mean really....BSV price must someday 'always' be below LTC price if I'm to have any 'faith' in the logic of the Universe! Smiley

But I will bet my real money 'fake satoshi' spins one of the 2 possibilities below to 'prove' he is Satoshi! Sad

1) Craig Wright 'loses' the court case with the Dave K. estate..he will then 'skip' overseas and never pay. But he will "INSIST" that by them

wining the case against him 'proves' he is Satoshi! So he will play that out for 'decades' the asshole.

2) Craig Wright 'wins' the court case and does NOT have to pay, he also will claim this proves he is satoshi with all his 'dubious' supposed

facts submitted to the court...shooting down the Dave K. estates arguments otherwise if he is not Satoshi..why did they sue him

for such?....so he must be Satoshi or why did they bother? Either way, the prick will be insufferable, for decades to come.

Sh*t.

So anyway, in some way, shape, manner 'someday' LTC has to be worth more on paper than BSV...I mean w/o such in the 'Universe' it will continue to be
...
way, way out of whack! Sad So I'd really like to see LTC blow past and STAY more than frigging BSV...I mean let the horror end!) Sad

I have BCH/BSV from forks and Siacoin and Lisk I'm planning on dumping ASAP..but would kinda like BTC to 'plateau' some to catch up don't ya know...

but I do have an amount of BTC via altcoins and such equiv to about 7 BTC or so...I can sell..in that is what I recovered from my 13 BTC sale of 12/24/18

at xmas low for real life issues on that date in 2018. I did get back these 7 BTC out of the 13 BTC or so. So 'ideally' I would be no worse off than I had

in the BTC HODL/Hoard at that date...so likely dibble out the altcoins and 3.8 BTC of above to get back to my 12/24/18 number I sold at $3,900 for real

life issues. This dribble out for real life issues looks to be 'much more' pleasent don't ya know Smiley Nice bit of profit along the way for 2 years and about 1.5 months. Smiley

I am totally not into forks, but at least one of them might pop, so good timing might be important.
That said, don't listen to me as i waited until 1.1K to sell some of the "forked" stuff instead of doing it at 3-4K.
Who cares now, though.

yeah....hard not to sell above vs it is more or less the same as i had at the depths of my 12/24/2018 $3,900 a btc sale for real life issues..at least in

my feeble mind ..such a sale of such..would show me no worse then that dire day of 12/24/2018 and indeed 7 BTC ahead in cash maybe and/or no

worse than what I had that day when I pulled the $3,900 BTC trigger on 13 btc. Ack! But real life is real life no 20/20 hindsight on this one.

may be a 'bit' of mental catch up with the 7 btc since then though Smiley

The most profitable path is to buy buy buy and buy again.
At the current prices I do not think it will be a good idea. The profit is not that much so I wouldn't advise buying right now, play safe.

Unless you don't need the $$$ from your BTC/Crypto HODL/Hoard...in which case you intend to HODL 5 years to 10 years. (5 years only

due to real-life-emergencies). Also, I don't need the BTC/HODL to stay retired. Thus, I should 'probably' delve into my past and treat it like

the rainbows/fairydust/moonbeam/unicorn perfumed 'farts' that of which it was when I got into BTC/Crypto in 2013!

Pass it down the line. Give it away someday. IF I manage to live another 25 years, they will put me in a Nursing Home..take all my money (no cash

vulenrable adult issue) and maybe allow me 'some' management of my estate with an advisor (which at that point will tell me to put it into

a living trust anyway ..in that at best each year from now on at that age..is a 50/50 shot you'd come out the other end). Indeed from what I

could tell from my 'parents' in a nice Nursing Home..your life consists of activities run by college level girls p.t. going into a social work or health

related feild...and 'fantastical stories' to your peers/T.V./Bingo and if the young staff likes you 'extra pudding' Smiley

So I should just 'accumulate' and let it ride out of 'sheer' stubborness for when that day arrives or I kick the bucket before such. Tough being

in a Nursing Home and considered a Vulnerable Adult and such. Best case is go to a happy/nice place and have the above. So considering that

WTF let it ride...but ONLY if 'Real Life Issues' allow such and you can afford to lose the works...don't ya know...

as to my other point, all said an done 'retirement' is kinda a pain in the pandemic...no working out in gym (shotokan karate), no travel...so the

'now what' is approprate..need to find something 'stupid/odd' like Bitcoin Mining in 2013 for the next 10 years plus, was a lot of fun..but now...

meh...pandemic aside...still at a loss of what I can do of any note anymore at my age besides travel...the youtube video of the day they try to

drag me to the Nursing Home will however be epic with the Shotokan Karate Training..so at least I have that to look forward too! (goals...don't  ya know)

But picked a silly year of 2020 to have my mining wrap'd up (2018) and my house redone and other wrap up on such (2019) and planned to travel

in 2020 (oops!) ....so I hang out too much on www.bitcointalk.org until I can get a covid-19 shot and can at least 'try' traveling about.

So be careful what you wish for, you may surely get it!

Sell a piece of your coins tonight.

I have BCH/BSV from forks and Siacoin and Lisk I'm planning on dumping ASAP..but would kinda like BTC to 'plateau' some to catch up don't ya know...

but I do have an amount of BTC via altcoins and such equiv to about 7 BTC or so...I can sell..in that is what I recovered from my 13 BTC sale of 12/24/18

at xmas low for real life issues on that date in 2018. I did get back these 7 BTC out of the 13 BTC or so. So 'ideally' I would be no worse off than I had

in the BTC HODL/Hoard at that date...so likely dibble out the altcoins and 3.8 BTC of above to get back to my 12/24/18 number I sold at $3,900 for real

life issues. This dribble out for real life issues looks to be 'much more' pleasent don't ya know Smiley Nice bit of profit along the way for 2 years and about 1.5 months. Smiley

FujicoinCore v0.21.0 has been released

Download: https://www.fujicoin.org/downloads.php

v0.21.0: 2021-01-04
・Fujicoin Core will no longer automatically create new wallets on startup. New wallets can be created through the GUI, through the fujicoin-cli createwallet or fujicoin-wallet create commands, or the createwallet RPC.

・You can now select Descriptor Wallet as an option. Descriptor Wallet uses BIP 44/49/84 derivation paths. Currently it is an experimental implementation and you cannot use mnemonics. Also, you cannot dump the Account Extended Private Key, so be careful about how to back up your wallet.

・Taproot and Schnoor signatures have been implemented in core. It is currently in the experimental stage and has been activated with the new SigNet and RegTest, but the mainnet and testnet have not been activated. Activation on the mainnet will be as early as the 1Q of 2022.

・A new network named Signet has been added. This is an improvement over the shortcomings of traditional Testnet. In Signet, only the person who has the private key can mining, so the progress of the blockchain is stable. You can build your own Signet network by creating a private key for your Fujicoin address. Signet is great for testing Taproot as it is activated.

・Get the fujicoin-signet-utility to build your own Signet network below.

Great work  Smiley

Edit I don't understand the need for a FJC wallet update, when the volume of 'sold' FJC for the last 3 months is from what I can tell 'less than' $15.00 USD in

Volume? I mean with the 60-80 million plus FJC sales on the exchanges that no longer 'take off dead' coins...you could never sell what you have anyway

with those bids ahead of you at only about $15 of volume for 3 months. Note: Coinmarket.cap chart. https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/fujicoin/

So unless a 'new' hook comes into some play, or a merge with another coin, or some 'new' innovation of FJC this is all just 'moot' as it has no use, no

$$ volume and no purpose. Too many FJC for sale and never the 'volume' you will see to move any of it out the door as a sale. Sad really. But that is

how this shakes out. The occasional 'new exchange takes FJC is also kinda funny' ..each time that happens 10 or 20 million FJC show up for sale and

none sells in the line for sales que on such exchanges. So it is all 'hoppem'. The coin is dead, with out a massive revival or merging with another coin

or something..it will continue to go no place. By the By I harp on this, but then again I type as fast as I think so this is no great strain. Would be 'damn'

helpful if exchanges did kill dead coins like way in the past..now they just dwell forever on exchanges going no place with no sales...tis annoying how

many 'dead' coins still show up on 'paper' as worth something when you check out supposed prices like on www.coinmarketcap.com IF you don't bother
..
to look at the 'volume' sold in 3 months and the amount of FJC for sale or whichever dead coin you HODL..you quickly find out it is all untrue and a dead

coin..so FJC is not alone their are 'hundreds' of dead coins out there in the same manner of 1) amount for sale vs 2) actual buyers in volume for months.

So it goes.
