17442  Economy / Speculation / Re: Pirate Manipulation behind the recent price spike? on: July 18, 2012, 07:12:51 AM
exactly, IMO pirateat40 is stuck in an impossible situation

idk I'm most likely wrong, but what he did yesterday shows us his game plan and we see that its not a good plan

Can you clarify?


pirateat40 has taken a stand 9$ is the top, and hes got to convince everyone to fallow him back down bellow 7

even if he gets it going down (even below 6!), he will need to buy back. He'll be trying to buy back on the cheap along with everyone else,  and who's going to sell us all these coins?

maybe hes been trying to keep the price down ever since 6 point crazy....

I hope he is able to push the price down, I would love to buy another few hundred coins below 6 ( I have a few friends that want in if it goes back down Tongue )

The liquidity on the ask side simply isn't their for him to buy back on the cheep. i might get lucky and be able to grab a few hundred  tho  Grin

trying to push the price down , he is the liquidity on the ask side right now
once he gets it to < 7, and removes his asks walls their will not be enough bitcoin on the ask side to satisfy his needs
and everyone is going to jump allover them


don't you just love it when shit hits the fan?  Roll Eyes

Here's some psychology for you.

#1)  People don't like to believe that some regular guy can just ask for a whole ton of BTC, receive them, and start manipulating an entire market.

Counter-point to #1)  It is absolutely possible for this to happen, both mathematically and based upon market psychology.

#2)  People don't like to believe that some regular guy can make at least 7% a week.  After all, most people here aren't making 7% per week, especially if you're not investing with Pirate or a pass-through.

Counter-point to #2)  It is absolutely possible for this to happen.  I've made 2000% in about 8 months from trading alone.  That 2000% doesn't include mining profits, product sales, or service sales.  Nor was it a full time job.  It was day trading.  And it was only on two exchanges.  And neither was Mt. Gox.

3)  People don't like to believe that one guy manipulating the market is even possible.

Counter-point to #3)  Yes, it really really is.  Bitcoin is a small community and only a small % of all Bitcoin users are actively watching or trading on the markets at any given time.  All you need is capital and balls and you can make the market your bitch.

4)  People don't like to think Pirate can do this by himself.

Counter-point to #4)  He's not.  He's supported by his lenders and his buyers.  He's found a niche between markets and there are many people involved.  But, he is the central node of pass-through capital.  As such, he can manipulate/control the market, but to believe he is doing it alone is a mistake.  It's because so many people are involved that he can make 7% happen quite easily.

Seriously, why is it so hard to believe Pirate did this?

so why are people saying the higher it goes the more likely he will default?

is this simply not true?


The price going higher is only an issue if it goes up too fast and stays there after Pirate has already converted all of his BTC to USD.

His only hope at that point would be to try to create another rally with USD and do a pump and dump.

With the amount of capital that Pirate has, it would be difficult to imagine a scenario totally beyond his control that would screw over both him and his lenders.

If I had that much capital, I would do it.  And, I'm seriously considering starting something similar.  But, I need to decide whether or not I want to pull the trigger....

wait wouldn't he need to get the bitcoins b4 he dose a pump and drop?

so I'd say right now hes trying to push the price down in order to buy low and then do his pump and drop

if this is the case he is soo fucked ....

here is the scenario that totally would screw over both him and his lenders.

first he sells all his bitcoins at 6.9
someone pushes the price up to 8

ok hes all messed up now.... that wasn't so hard
17444  Economy / Speculation / Re: @8.50, do you buy or sell? on: July 18, 2012, 06:49:58 AM

I think bitcoin's "fair" value (which stems from its usability and rate of adoption) is roughly correlated with Tx/Block. This does not need to grow all that much to be knocking on the current protocol limits.

I'm kind of concerned about the developers not taking scalability seriously. I'm strongly of the opinion that any Moore's law related arguments against improving the scalability are seriously flawed.

This is also my sentiment.

Are there any other developers out there who would be willing to help develop a scalable protocol?

you'd need a big team
first making the new protocol itself is a huge job
second you'd need a top notch exchange site to even think about competing with bitoin

if done right, and you come out with a truly and easily scalable version of bitcoin ..... I'd be buying in, BIG TIME

but are the developers really not taking scalability seriously?

Jr. Member Cheesy

what do you mean, "these low prices will not stand"?

The price is quickly bought up after every dump only to face another minor one. Sale after sale, the price remains resilient. We all know where the price ought to be.

We can deny it in the face of a greater fantasy, however: Cheap Bitcoins.

yes the market has been really bullish lately

and that's because we saw a 1/4 million dollar wall get sold into at 6.50

since then its been clear someone ( or a group of people ) is trying to buy ALOT of bitcoin.

the market realized this and the price kept shooting up as he bought out every trigger we left

Just b4 he put up a 1/2 million dollar wall at 9.00ish

price is rising as a reaction to someone trying to buy a lot, that is all.

if this guy still wants to buy more it will go higher,
once hes done buying.... price is going to go back down to about 7 - 8


I welcome you to the speculation forum and hope to see you here again!

What mofo?


he is very sneaky

he makes people think he removed his wall so the price can go lower, so he can buy

and the people think, we'll do the smart thing and buy it up so he cant buy below 9

worked so far

If anyone wants to know why the Bitcoin price is going up or down during a certain period, I'd advise you to ignore everything related to mining completely (with a small caveat that the block reward halving will reduce supply a bit and this will have a subtle effect on price).

Anyone who claims that bitcoin is rising or falling because of X reason related to mining, or ASICs, or BFL, etc etc... is fundamentally misunderstanding Bitcoin.

With that said, I think $25 price at the end of the year is totally realistic, perhaps likely. But it's got nothing to do with mining Smiley

So why is it rising then?

this may be hard to understand but

the price is rising because 25$ by the end of the year is totally realistic,
and
because the price is rising,  25$ by the end of the year is totally realistic,

More users, more businesses, more confidence, and we're still nowhere near our potential.
forget my troll post above this it the reason....

I would caution others not to overpay for bitcoins.


just what is this supposed to mean?  how do you define overpay?  i don't think we're anywhere near the true market value of one Bitcoin but mine is just an educated opinion based on a year and a half's in depth experience with Bitcoin and an abundance of overall market experience.  i've already put my money where my mouth is.

over pay for bitcoin

as in

do not buy coins right after a rally from 8 to 9,  wait till we hit 10 and there's no doubt in your mind its going to keep on going up   Cheesy

17456  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer - MtGoxUSD wall movement tracker on: July 18, 2012, 04:01:57 AM
is their going to be a 40K wall at 11, or will it take 40K bitcoin to go from 11 back to 9

sure take a chance and wait.... say i was a early GPU miner, and i had been holding 40,000K bitcoin

i'd sell now, is their no one left with 40,000BTC?

Sorry that you sold. Looks like you're buying in higher..


This guy isn't very good at inciting a rally

Panic buyers learned their lesson yesterday.

So did panic sellers. Trend still up..

I didn't sell
I'm just thinking

"
poor guy he keeps trying to buy bitcoin, and the price keeps going up on his bids
give the guy a break!
sell him some bitcoin
"

 Wink

Lol i dont think he is actually wanting to buy...

ya that why I'm calling it Nine dot OH OH   Nine dot uhoh!

Sell him the coins he so desperately wants  Wink

    - people finally discover how hard it is to hold on to their coins in face of determined hackers
      (i.e. not the script kiddie level hacks we've seen so far), but stuff at the level of stuxnet


this is the only real threat

how hard is it to print out this page https://www.bitaddress.org/ and send the coins their to the paper wallet?

Hard to say how long this wall stay with us (the 40k one at 8.9$) but I think its supporting us to 10$, before someone wants to crash the market again, arrrrrr

F' crashing the market!
Cash out 40,000BTC for 395,940$, and only move the price 5 cents
Do it, do it now!

395,940$

come on. you WILL NOT get a better deal for a very long time, time is now

why not wait till its at 11?
