Yesterday was the first day of trading for the ETP on the Swiss Six Exchange :
https://www.six-group.com/exchanges/exchange_traded_products/security_info_en.html?id=CH0445689208USD4
Amun Crypto Basket Index ETP (named "HODL")

Man this thing is tiny. Only 250k units issued at 15 USD means like $3.6M, less than half of which is Bitcoin (Daily volume today is $15k). Don't expect this to affect the price  for some time (if ever).
Hiya wachtwoord, haven't seen you around in a while.  By the way, don't you know you need a hat around these parts lately?  Grin

I have no family, I have few friends, and I'm going broke from holding btc and eth, soon to be homeless.  Great holiday.

All I wanted to do is buy a small house, already lost 150k which would of been enough.  On the verge of suicide if it keeps dropping.
That sucks man.
If I can give you some advice, it sounds like it is really getting to you, which probably means you have too much skin in the game.  Risk management is a difficult but necessary thing to think about.  Try to make your investments such that you can be ok with (some of) them going to shit.

About the bitcoin price, in the long term I am still uberbullish, medium term I think it might go a bit lower still, very short term i am bullish.  My particular speculations or opinions on this matter don't really matter of course, but what I want to say is: try to prepare yourself emotionally for potential hardship in advance.

And if you are feeling really shit at this moment, try to put things in perspective, as hard as that might be.  There are a lot of people who are not in the position to lose 150k, and who would feel rich if they had 15k or even 1.5k on their bank account, let alone people who are scrounging to get by day by day.  
You might feel obliterated these days, but those feelings will in all probability pass.

I happened to be watching this today, perhaps you find it useful : https://youtu.be/B9XGUpQZY38

Could somebody list the websites they use for checking the amount of margin longs & shorts on exchanges (charts over time)?

Once upon a time I used bfxdata.com, but that one has been abandoned for a long time now.

So, does anybody know why adamstgBit left?

Let me guess, he pulled a DeathandTaxes, MnW or cypherdoc type scam and left?  That’s usually how the old guard chooses to leave.
Who is MnW?
DeathandTaxes' scam thoroughly disappointed me.  He was such an insightful guy, one of the smartest and most knowledgeable posters around imho.  I thought he came across as a standup guy, but clearly my judgement of him was very flawed.

Mcafee is a drug addicted scumbag.  He was taking bribes to promote shitcoins.

this guy is a money loving attention whore.
For sure, I wouldn't entrust a single dollar to that guy.

Depends what's in them. If she's oozing a quality chocolate mousse then I'll be right there.

Or a nice lasagne.

Second-hand curry ftw.
Now that is just nasty.

Spaceman how big are youre odds of holding that bottom??

I guess that question got answered pretty darn fast...   Undecided

I've been doing some advanced T/A and here are my results.
Only thing wrong with that chart is the lack of log scale.

The markets just do what they do. Over the years, I've come to look at news stories and recent events as excuses more than causes.

I'll agree with that. When you lose your balance, you instinctively grasp onto the nearest thing!


luckely binaryreign got it CAUSE he could actually use all 60 and wear his damned HAT

maybe with getting close to it
there is another generous HATcarrier to help out .... i sit pretty low myself  Sad

I still want to see Spaceman claim his rightful hat  Cool
very much indeed gonna send him some on next post but
but I'm just a Smeritdrop on a hot plate ..... can't make much diffrence  by myself... and besides his a legendary from before... thats just a F***ing cool HATcreation as well


^indeed beautyfull scene

Watching the Bitstamp order book, just minutes ago we had around $30M in buy orders, now suddenly I see $50M+ again?
Can someone explain?  Cheesy

Is this a genuine question?  
You can have money on an exchange without having outstanding orders, so that money can be used to make new orders...
Yeah, I get that, but how all of the sudden, in literally 5 minutes, people decide to put $20M+ in buy orders? That's what I am curious about.
Ah ok, Big-ass whale maybe?
Technically that number doesn't really say at what prices the orders are being set, so if somebody adds 20M in orders for 10 USD/BTC, that doesn't much for us.
Of course you can look at the graph, but I don't know how that evolved.

Calling the bottom for today (4694 on Stamp, currently 4748).
Let's see how lucky or ignorant/arrogant I am  Grin .
196  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: November 17, 2018, 01:26:25 AM
would be nice to freeze me in on my AGE as i am now and just release me @2021-ish at my AGE of now and just see where i'm standing .....
wouldn't that be a nice move Roll Eyes

Would be best to not grow old at all. Wink

Damn this universe and its tick-tockery.
You might be aware of this already, but I'll leave it here anyway : sens.org .

So I would not become too self-congratulatory and smug if I were you

Good advice. I will probably eat dirt on the next trade.
I had been waiting for a long long time to put on a sizeable leveraged short if it went under the trendline at 6050-6100 or so, thinking it would go very fast all of a sudden, yet when the moment came... I just didn't. I just sold a little and then I thought, I will wait for a little while now, best not to make any rash decisions all of a sudden...  It continues to baffle me how my mind can play tricks on me.  Now I am left wondering why I didn't carry out my plan...

"Craig Wright says he has an exploit to take down Bitcoin (BTC) by end of 2019. Does he? Or all talk?"

https://youtu.be/4TOnHAlI_Vg

WTF? I hope it's just Craig Wright talking out of his ass...

CSW's whole thing is to exploit how people tend to believe that things aren't total lies. So when he says he's Satoshi, people think "Well, I don't believe he's Satoshi, but maybe he knew Satoshi". Or "He failed to destroy BTC with mining power like he said he would last year, but maybe he still actually has a bunch of mining capacity hidden away somewhere." Or "There's no technical way for him to irrecoverably screw with SegWit transactions, but maybe he found some bug somewhere."

But really he's completely full of shit; the vast majority of claims he makes are complete lies from front to back. (And often just a tiny bit of research will make this obvious.)
Honestly, each time I notice some people still believing this guy, it make me lose a sliver of hope for humanity...

Morgan Stanley starts off the report by noting that bitcoin’s thesis has been “rapidly morphing”. It details the perceived change in narratives, which started as digital cash, moved to store of value, and is now an institutional investment class.

Such BS, store of value was always on the table, 'institutional investment class' isn't at odds with store or value or anything else, and it is still a 'digital cash' = medium of exchange.  They might be a bit flabbergasted by a version of cash that does not come with the solemn promise of being worth less 2% a year.


Made me chuckle hard  Cheesy
