And what are they doing, exactly?  Those limeys?     

Doesn't seem healthy to argue with the price and attribute players to it, especially the smaller, range bound and largely inconsequential moves.

I don't really know much of anything to attempt to explain your various observations, but many of us likely realize that the price pushes on one exchange could actually end up paying off on another exchange, so just logically, it seems to me that having disparities in the number of longs versus shorts on one exchange versus another exchange causes some short term arbitrage opportunities that might set up for a kind of BIG play of some manipulator(s) (aka whale(s)) who believe that they are in a position to take advantage of such exchange disparities.

Do you have a specific article that attempts to describe the significance of this?

I don't exactly grasp any kind of meaningful significance based on your summary, except just a kind of implication that bitcoin, blockchain (various cryptos) and stable coins are just becoming more broadly accepted within financial BIG WIG circles.

Sorry to doxx anyone, but is your real world name Tone Vays, or do you just sound like him for some reason?

Of course, you don't need to admit to being Tone Vays, but I still would appreciate some kind of explanation regarding the seeming similarities.. .not that I really follow Tone Vays, either.  I might not be sufficiently educated regarding the extent to which you, dragonvslinux, actually differ from Tone Vays and/or his various BTC technical analysis framing theories.

Your post comes off as a bit more ambiguous than it needs to be because you seem to be misusing the term "resistance" when you really mean "support."

When we are talking difficulty in going down, we are referring to support.  When we are referring to difficulty in going up, we are referring to resistance.

Hopefully you can clarify what you mean here, but it seems to me that you just used the wrong word (i.e. resistance when you meant to describe the concept of support).

I agree with you about the first part of your above statements, Globb0, but I am wondering if you are recognizing a pattern about bald youtubers or is just the "baldie" angle going to be your particular signature approach in your anticipated upcoming youtubering career?

Surely, there seems to be a kind of natural tendency for a decently large number of guys to not worry about the bald part coming to fruition.  It kind of comes upon many guys whether wanted or not, but most guys don't really strive towards accelerating such progress in that direction, but some guys will just shave the whole fucking thing off because at a certain point it is no longer fruitful to continue to try to appear NOT bald when the actual real world situation is so obviously the opposite.

That is what you get, Tecshare, for attempting to confuse matters.  You get confusion that you, yourself, caused, seemingly on purpose with your lame-ass attempt at creating a dinsingenuous summary that you were inaccurately striving to spin in your favor.

If you try to be a bit more genuine in your renditions of the conduct and statements of others, then maybe someone will feel sorry for you.  Including me.  Perhaps?    

But, here, you dug your own little hole (a victim of your own seeming success) and then you are complaining (largely off topic and irrelevantly and who gives any shits) about someone else pulling up the ladder.  Difficult to feel sorry for that when we have other topics of the thread, which is largely the evidentiary relevance of various matters concerning OGNasty and if there is any accounting that needs to be done based on more recent evidentiary revelations or the extent that any of the new evidentiary revelations matter.

Whether you, Royse777, mean to imply that there is a Cantillon effect problem in the smerit supply or if there is some other kind of other devolution into infinite printing of smerits in favor of the admins those are interesting empirical questions upon which we do not really have the answers.

My suspicion is that there is almost no way (unless I am understanding the situation incorrectly) that theymos merely had all those smerits in his reserve bank.  Of course, he had likely not been spending his smerits on a regular 30 day basis, so those smerits would have frequently been expunged by the system's algorithm.  However, half of any of the smerits that he earned since January 2018 would have been just building up in his personal smerit bank.  Accordingly, I believe that the most reasonable inference is that he manually increased his own smerit allocation, whether that was a short-term increase or a longer term inflation of the smerit supply (with the implication that he is going to begin to spend more smerits on a regular basis) is still unknown - unless he disclosed his thinking in the direction of his future smerit spending intentions.  (maybe I should do a quick research into the matter by stalking theymos's past posts?  nah.. I am just going to speculate and throw it out there as a tentative theory.... hahahahaha).



Oh?  you are just concerned about your own smerit allocation.  I thought that you had just become an smerit source, and I thought that theymos had just increased the smerit allocations of almost all smerit sources.  Therefore, it seems way too premature to publicly request an increase in your own smerit allocation, unless you have some kind of personal circumstances that were overlooked?  Anyhow, I am thinking that when theymos assigned you as an smerit source, he already considered how much he would allocate to your source, and so it would likely be better to just try that out for a while, before asking for an increase in your smerit allocation.  Am I missing something?

Personally, I believe that it is a bit better to frontload on the spending of smerits for a variety of reasons, even though you will likely get used to finding ways to spread your smerit allocation through the whole month in order to keep the allocation completely refreshing in a way that you never really run out.

On the other hand, there can be some stresses with having the benefit of serving as an smerit source, which you have correctly inferred by your above statement, which is the spending of all of your smerits as you get them. 

The having to spend the smerits and feeling an obligation to get out there and read a few posts is a kind of feeling of a curse part of the blessing of serving as a merit source.

Hey, you asked for it... hahahahahahaha, and right out of the ballpark, your smerit allocation is way more than mine was in the beginning and even seems to be more than my current allocation.... not that I really care too much because I feel kind of an overabundance, even with my initial allocation, I was feeling just fine with that, even though I would run out a lot more with my initial allocation, so sometimes that kind of screwed me up in keeping a list of so many great/good posts that I wanted to send an smerit once I got replenished.   So sometimes there was some stress in falling behind.

Since theymos has incrementally increased the allocations of active smerit spenders (as you mentioned in another one of your posts), I have kind of grown into my allocation situation, and I am glad that theymos has merely made incremental adjustments to mine rather than some kind of BIG ASS dumping of smerits on me, which sometimes I feel that I am giving out way more smerits than I can really justify, anyhow, which causes me to feel better with mostly just allocating the sending of 1 smerit per post that I feel moved me to send such smerit.

Oh, by the way, sometimes I feel that I am burdened to send out some smerits, and I am not seeing any good posts out there, but then on a regular basis, it all just seems to work out, and great posts come in and I run out of smerits, too.  So there is that.... the never ending great posts of the forum (and most of mine are in the WO thread - but not exclusively, of course) that deserve at least 1 smerit if not more.... 

Seems that the involved editors are merely suggesting to combine Lightning Network under bitcoin rather than to delete the information?  Might be a temporary measure, no?

Referring to Chico..... To each his own.  The guy wears too much on me, personally.  

Once in a while entertainment through him might be fine (emphasis on "might").

That would be nice.


I will believe it when I see it.

Differences of opinion is not a bad thing, and even clusters of alliances are not necessarily bad, either.  The forum seems to allow for that, and surely seems to be dangerous if newbies get too caught up in such battles, which makes it seem that they are accounts created or paid for by other members, even if they are overly enthusiastic to take sides.  None of us that you quoted, herein are newbies.

Anyhow, I try NOT to participate too much in those kinds of alliances, but the use of trust and various aspects/ tools of the forum does seem to encourage some of that kind of involvement. 

Came for the bitcoin, stayed for the interludes of drama.     

I came across a sneak preview of the bargain boyz.  They are pretty good runners, even though dropping things and gonna be late.

This reminds me that the lil roach needs attention, but the kitty ate him.  Go figure?

You can give as much credence to it as you like, but  ain't nobody got time for that.

I have already seen enough of it to know that our future is not predetermined by numbers and waves, even though there sometimes is momentum that can be difficult to change. 

The momentum in bitcoin, however, is not so difficult to change, at least in the short term.

We can have short term manipulations that take us beyond the boundaries of expectation towards either the upside or the downside, so anyone proclaiming some certain range at a given date remains coo-coo from my perspective.  As scientific as a pure guess.   

I am not trying to be prescriptive.  I was merely describing.  So motivate yourself however, you would like.
 

 O.k.  Just seemed like a temper tantrum to me, but if it was an objective and emotionless variation of a rant, then that is fine, too.



You are on a mission to stop injustices.  I see.  Great.
 

I am glad that you are taking one for the team.  That's good of you.
 

I doubt that you are being targeted.

Anyhow, that seemed to be a bit off topic. 

How about this one?



Giver = sharing

Gosh, Tecshare.  What a great summary!!!!!  No wonder you are so well liked in these parts.  Your ability to boil a bunch of words down to their bare essence.   


NOZT

 


By the way,  Tecshare, I recall a few posts back, you were going on a little temper tantrum when Twitchy had attempted to summarize what you were saying, so you decided to attempt such paring down on your own?
