Anyone who has 5 or more posts in the flat earth thread supporting the proposition that the earth is flat (prior to the announcement of the award) receives a free deluxe version of the bitcointalk branded tin foil hat... with extra super bandwidth protectiveness built in.

I sold around .4BTC before the price run-up, too...  the price that I got was, decent, like in the $4,300 arena, and I was not able to buy them back at a lower price before the price went shooting up... so even though there can be a bit of a regret, the price surge certainly made up for any incidental downward leveraging that I was engaged in....

Perhaps I will get a chance to buy those coins back at a lower price (which would be lower than $4,300.. though I probably would not be inclined to buy them back until getting close to $4k.. at least sub $4,100.. that is my current thinking about those .4BTC), but largely, it doesn't really matter too much to me, too much if I do or not... because if we were to get into the $5k arena, and never see $4ks again, I have no problem writing off that .4BTC and just spending the cash (or just keeping it in reserve.. whatever).  

Personally, as I posted yesterday, right before the $5,090 run up, I was thinking that there could be a decent chance for a 30% or more correction from any supra $5k run up (just did not expect such supra $5k price run up to happen in the next month or two, and then it happened in about two hours of my post.. .hahahahaha... go figure?)...

A 30% correction would be pretty fucking harsh, currently at $3,563 ($5,090 x 70%), and maybe we are going to have a bit more UP before we get our supra 30% correction..(perhaps into the $6k arena or the supra $6k arena) with current dynamics, a bit more UP seems the to be the more logical outcome before a 30% correction takes place.. .even though I would not rule anything out in bitcoinlandia.. and I have not mentally concluded that we have transitioned into a bull market yet.. even though possible transitioning matters are looking pretty damned decent at the moment.

We know that bitcoin don't move straight, but last night I was considering making a joke post that we are going straight to $19k from here...  because if you noticed, I had attempted to make several whoaza posts at $4,200, $4,300, $4,700.. and I just became kind of dumbfound for a while, probably similar to other folks trying to figure out what was happening and if there was some extra information that was missing.   

For some reason I got distracted and lulled into the moment, and by the time I was considering posting something like:  "we are going straight to $19k from here," the moment had kind of passed.

Haahahahaha...

such a snapshot of your 70s humor will be lost to the elusive interweb clouds forever and ever and ever...   

The guy who got liquidated for $3million lost all of the $3million.  

At a certain BTC price, let's say $4,100, the guy had bet that the BTC price was going to go down from that price point.. and he put the $3million worth of BTC for collateral for his bet. Perhaps, he did 10x margin or likely less in this cas; however, when the BTC price moved in the opposite direction of his bet, the BTC price got to a point that the exchange had to take his collateral.  

He lost his bet, but if the BTC price would have gone down below his bet price of $4,100 or whatever the price was that he bet, then he would have made money on the bet...

If the BTC price had gone down, then it would have been his discretion as to when to cash out of his bet while he could have been in profits if BTC prices had gone down, rather than up.

Yep... That would have been great for the game, but I am starting to think that there is a bit of preservation and holding down the BTC price that was going on for the end of the week, end of the month and end of the quarter all happening at the same time....

There is hardly any ability to know what the BTC price dynamics are going to be at the time that you set up the prediction ending date / time.

Doesn't mean that you know anything.. you pretentious fuck.       

Probably a few shorts got rekt.  

You know that there was a lot of preventative attempts to keep the BTC price from going up, and that time period could have got some folks to close their shorts at a loss... but you know how stubborn peeps can be sometimes to attempt to let the situation ride, and let it ride and let it ride... thereafter,

VIOLA!!!!!  


SHORTS REKT!!!!!  

Forced to close.  


That is a great thing to witness.

This candle is already too BIG up to $4,490, as I type. 

$4,800 would be like holy fuck..

Even if a $1k bart would be looking nice (except for the down part).

You are the worst.  That's all I have to say about you and your litecoin mumbo jumbo.

In other words, who gives a ratt's ass about litecoin?

And there she blows, by the way, as I type.. supra $4,200 and going above $4,260.... whoaza!!!!

Edit:  Holly moley.. .up to $4390

O.k.  Fuck.. why do you always have to be so right...  

What I was trying to say was that if the BTC price goes above $5k in this cycle or has some kind of ongoing UPwards, then we are going to need some decent level of corrections along the way.. so perhaps we would need to get close to $6k before the 30% plus correction becomes a kind of necessity?  

remember in late 2015, when BTC price shot up from about upper $200s to $500, and then corrected back down to $300? that was a 40% correction.   And remember in 2017, we had at least 3, maybe even 4 30% plus BTC price corrections.. before the last run up in November/December to $19k?

Try not to dream in the nightie, nightie about the curvy, curvy parts.. .

Also, by the way, price is going to have to* meaningfully correct at some point... Whether that point is sub $4,200 or sub $4,600 or sub $5k, surely I don't know.  I could not imagine the BTC price going above $5k without some kind of significant and material correction of at least 30%.**  We will see.  We will see.

*when I use the expression "have to" I am not talking about 100%, but I am suggesting really high odds, like more than 75%

**when I use the expression "at least 30%" I am suggesting that level of correction would create the most healthy bitcoiny kind of price dynamics, that a 15% or 20% correction might not be sufficiently enough in order to prepare for the next leg UPwards

This is how I imagine the V8 / Jojo collaboration:



 

Here's my first Rocket pic, just to attempt to annoy you by doing the opposite.       

Of course, merit sources would be prohibited from exchanging merits for anything of value. 

Strictly speaking non-merit source members would not be prohibited, but might receive negative trust or some other form of scowling from other members.

Oh?   I remember reading "trollgoosen" somewhere, but I could not remember where... there you have it.   

I thought that every day you were a troll.  Haven't you heard of trollgoosen?  Am I getting my members mixed up?

I am going to get back onto those Bacopa Monnieri supplements, asap.

"We" must be going up, then.   

Yeah.. that is going to help to figure matters out to focus on petty things like a hair cut.    You are making A LOT of senses.

I can understand what you are saying... but I need quite a bit more (time and/or upward price movement) before I am going to feel that level of confidence.
