Seems like your partner is too emotionally invested in your BTC investment.
<wordy words removed>

How is that my problem ? I'm chill. Just had my blood pressure measured yesterday at an appt and it's the lowest it's been in years.

Retirement is doing wonders for my mental well-being.

No hurry to sell in this market, and, TBH, I can cover my FY18 tax liabilities with other funds if need-be; have eggs in many baskets I can pick from thanks to good financial planning earlier in life.

Either way, I'm expecting Bitcorn to have recovered nicely by the time FY18 tax dues start looming.

If not, oh well. I'll deal with it when the time comes one way or another.

This whole Zen thing is working out pretty well so far...



I am just saying what it seems like because your partner seems to mention the price a lot, when the price is going down, and you even conceded, at one point, that he had kind of pressured you into selling a bit more than you had planned (or at least at a timing that you had not planned).  Accordingly, if you are sharing finances with your partner, and you are allowing your partner to influence your decisions, then his problem becomes some of your problem(s).  Say it isn't so, but you seem to have already conceded sufficient facts to admit to some of his influence over some of your BTC finances.

By the way, you know  ur selfie and your relationship better than the rest of us quasi-anonymous folks on the interwebs, so I am not suggesting that you have lost control over the situation, and ultimately, you are likely in a much better position than me to know whether you are still carrying out your btc planning and strategy per your own principles and practices rather than giving in to your partner's whims.

Please don't try to provoke needless arguments with me. While talking with markj113, I really felt good that I'm talking to someone who isn't a religious fiend. Please don't ruin this experience for me Sad Bad intentions bring out the worse in me Sad

If you don't already have a room together, you should get one, and therefore you can privately hash out your "bonding" experiences with markj113, no?

Edit: May as well throw roachie poachie and Peter Schiff into your little PM admiring three-some (or four-some), no?  You can all go down the PM "intrinsically-value plated tubes," together.

Bitcoin is the original shitcoin Smiley The whole crypto game is just one big bubble, with very little practical value created and mostly held up by high hopes and ignorance. I didn't get caught in the BS sales pitches with BTC when I played it, and I still don't do it with new alternatives. Just ride the waves of hype and have fun while playing it is my moto. Believing any of this is for people who invest in buying lambos Tongue

Yep, here's my investment alongside more precious metals than scrooge mcduck Smiley



 Meh.  You can't legally drive that on sidewalks....

Top speed 15 km/h and it's a hit with the ladies! (okay they're all over 65 but...)


edit: resize

I'm calling you out on this one, xhomerx10.   That looks like a one passenger vehicle (driver only); therefore, how could it be a hit with the ladies, unless you are talking to literally hit them with it, and only the 65 Yearold plus are either too slow to get out of the way or too decrepit in their ability to take a punch.

DOJ launching a criminal probe into BTC price manipulation.

Looks like we'll soon find out if the whales are artificially pumping the price

https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2018-05-24/doj-launches-criminal-probe-bitcoin-market-manipulation

Seems there is a constant attack on BTC that is ramping up, looks like the powers above have decide enough is enough.

I thought the price was artificially kept down, I mean seriously the sell orders are the ones that disappear and reappear like crazy while the buy walls stay the same.

Kind of seems like an Onion article to me.  What can DOJ do?  Maybe if we saw some specific charges then we would get a better grasp about the significance, if any, of something like this kind of an "investigation"?

Is this allowed create " Unofficial List of Bitcointalk Merit Source Users"?
You can have a good idea on who are sources here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=merit;stats=topsendat, we can assume 90% of them are sources.
Cheesy Cheesy
I have a list of all merit sources, want to shear it.

Maybe you could start a thread with that information, and then post a link in this thread?  Personally, I would suggest that you describe your methodology regarding how you reach such conclusions, too.

I will look at your thread and comment on it, if you make it.
18448  Other / Meta / Re: Merit & new rank requirements on: May 25, 2018, 12:22:03 AM
Is this allowed create " Unofficial List of Bitcointalk Merit Source Users"?


Personally, I don't see any problem with such an attempt at a list, as long as you make it fairly clear in the OP of the thread (and I would suggest a separate thread for such) that you are attempting to speculate .. and of course, that the list is an unofficial speculation, and peeps with authority and insight as to the truth of the matter asserted, such as theymos, might admit or deny some of the speculations that come out through the thread.

Someone correct me if I am wrong about the fact that such speculation about who might be merit sources would not break any forum rules, even though theymos himself said that he was not going to create such an official list and he asserted that with the passage of time, it would likely become apparent who some of the merit sources are.

With such passage of time of about 4 months at this time, sometimes the evidence of merit sources seems to be fairly clear, and sometimes some members have actually admitted that they are merit sources too.

I suppose the main problem of such a list, if there were one, is that there would be one spot that merit beggers could go to attempt to "hit up" folks on the list, and maybe some members (and/or theymos) would be opposed to such list based on that possibility, perhaps?

Have you made any kind of point in your above post?  Maybe?  Let me attempt to parse your various points, and try to figure out if you might not be a bot, yourself.. hahahahhaha   Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy.


I think that if you were to start a trade then this time you should buy bitcoin and trade only on the USDT pairs,

What difference would this make?  Trying to avoid tax ramifications?  Why would it matter if you are using USDT or USD, otherwise?  Either an exchange uses USD or USDT, but they might not even disclose what they are using, so does it matter, in the whole scheme of things?

Of course, if you are considering exchange fees and also tax ramifications, then you do have to account for each of your costs in order to ensure that each of your trades are sufficiently profitable to cover your costs.

the market is stagnant and difficult to predict,

Maybe I take the most issue with any kind of claim that the market is stagnant?  but I think that any claim that it is difficult to predict, then that status is the exact opposite of stagnant... so you seem to be asserting that the market is stagnant and it is not stagnant or that the market is currently stagnant, but it has the potential to become not stagnant at any moment...

Either interpretation of your statement makes little sense, especially if we look at actual facts, and I would hardly characterize the current market as stagnant.  Look at the current BTC market.  You have a price of $9,949 on May 5, and then a price of $7,267 on May 23.. which is about a 27% price drop, and then you have a price of $8,579 on May 21.. which also would have been a 15% price drop down to $7,267.  In what fantasy world would those price moves be considered "stagnant?"

.

so trading day will be the Choose the best at the moment.

There is no "best" because you do not know the future at the time that you set your orders, but you can calculate a place to make yourself comfortable based on your situation and your views..

Always have a specific business plan and follow it to be able to lose profitability safely and minimize risk.

To the extent that this above statement makes any sense, it might be your most accurate point, and that is to make a plan that works for you; however, there is no best plan, even though there may be plans that are more in touch with actual probabilities as opposed to plans that merely seem to be stab in the dark gamblings.

Fuck! looks like we are going to 7K.

Smells like a W-bottom to me:

What we really need now are some ascending red candles. It would totally trick the bears.

Many of us in the HODL Craefully Gang are not feeling too good, right now.

Can you just leave us alone?




You need to learn to go with the flow... sell and buy everything all the time! That way you make big profits! Smiley


Yeah, right..  Roll Eyes Roll Eyes   Screw myself into a life of gambling, so I can be more like others who are losing money and panicking about the BTC price more than half of the time.  That sounds like a great plan.  Tongue

Rick just came home from work and asked "What the fuck is going on with Bitcoin, man ?"

I just shrugged and replied with "No idea, dude."

What do I tell him about this dump ?

I have no idea what's going on.

Seems like your partner is too emotionally invested in your BTC investment.

I recall that you, Bob, have taken a couple pretty decently sized cash outs in the supra $11k price arena, which I would imagine that you have largely already gotten back more than your total investment from those cash outs, even though you likely sold less than a 1/4 of your stash.. or at least that was my impression... but anyhow BTC prices had gone up way over 4x, at those price points, that it is quite likely that you have gotten out more than your original investment.

I recall also, that you deferred one of your cash outs, and tentatively, you were considering waiting until prices returned above $12k, so is that the part that has your partner worried?

I think that with any investment, one of the problems is if you are somewhat dependent upon the cashflow of the investment to pay your expenses, then in that regard, anyone could be considered to be "overinvested" if he could be forced to cash out of some or all of the investment at a time that is NOT of his choosing.

Ultimately, it seems that current BTC price performance is part of regular price correction dynamics, and a looming question does remain whether current BTC prices is going to end up being in an early 2013 like scenario or a early 2014 like scenario... I personally am still inclined to believe that the early 2013 like scenario seems to be the most likely of the two, but of course, the jury is still out and there have been a lot of more bearish folks that have been proclaiming the early 2014 scenario.. and part of my problem with such proclamation, from some of those folks, is that they have been proclaiming it since about early January.. and that is way to fucking early to be making such proclamations, even though they could end up being correct - in what I personally continue to consider their "minority" view...   I use the word "minority" to suggest that the early 2014 scenario seems to be the least likely, rather than the one held by the least of people... because it is quite possible, and even likely, that more peeps outside of this thread (we in the WO, are not the whole world, by the way... hahahahahha... even if we may be a lot more "in touch" with BTC fundamentals than the vast majority of the world expressing opinions on the BTC topic)  actually believe in the early 2014 scenario rather than the early 2013 scenario.

You have gotten this figured out, exactly.. infofront....

If you create an off topic thread, then that OT thread will become on-topic (OT)...

Haha that's one possible outcome of the experiment.

18454  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: TRADING STRATEGIES FOR BEGINNERS on: May 24, 2018, 08:53:28 PM
and never say never  Grin the point regarding trading is that people can't trade like a bot, to pply all these strategies you need a bot, a human can't do it so it has to lose money.


You don't need a bot in order to apply the strategies that are described in the OP or to customize your own strategies.

There are a lot of peeps, including yours truly, that trade profitably without a bot.

If you establish a really decent incremental system, then a bot could cause you to largely automate your trades and perhaps become more profitable, but use of a bot could cause you to fuck up a lot, too.

Ultimately beginners should not attempt to dive into trading without either some smaller level experimentation, and also a considerable amount of thought about the extent to which the strategy that they are going to attempt to employ is tailored to their own finances, view of the assets, timeline, risk profile and to continue to learn from their likely mistakes and to thereby improve their practices.

Any body can get merit from Brand New to Legendary to Administrators.... only requirement is "quality post".
I don't agree with your post that only requirement is quality post . I didn't seen any newbie who have got any marit though some of them have posted quality posts.I feel it's just like some of the higher rank members are hiding behind the fairytale of Quality Post thing. If any newbie can't get single merit does that mean they can't post anything good at all? Instead of Quality Post thing why everyone can say ,the bitter truth of "newbies couldn't get merited" unless they rank up as a junior member or above.That's fine for me, because as a newbie we should learn and contribute to the forum before gets any merit just like other higher rank members who have done tremendous contributions to the forum by sharing their knowledge. Btw following post also got a merit

I wonder who the first one to 15 million merits will be Wink

I like this change a lot. Hopefully we'll see an increase in post quality.
P.S - only just quated for highlighting my point, not for criticising by any means Smiley

Perhaps you are getting caught up in the weeds a bit, vphasitha?

When I joined the forum in early 2014, I came here because I wanted to learn about bitcoin, and I was passionate about the topic.

Ranking up was a bit of a side benefit, but really was not part of my consciousness.

Seems that if you are posting about your passion, and helping out others, as you learn yourself, then your post will likely cause other members to want to merit you.... merits are somewhat subjective because somehow you have to cause individuals to want to merit your posts, whether it is because of quality or humor or that you helped them or maybe they just begin to like you after reading several of your posts.  Frequently, I merit posts that I don't really like, but instead, over a period of time, I have begun to appreciate the contributions of the member over time (so in that regard, a merit might be received that is not merely about that one particular post that receives the merit).

Since I don't speak Chinese, it is unclear what Jack Liao said, but surely it seems that fake satoshi was the aggressor and just in the role of purposefully acting offensively to push people's buttons with nonsense distractions.

I'm just wondering why it has to be moderated, you don't have to erase something because negative comments about Bcash is already been posted in every Bcash thread discussion. Let's just accept the fact that Bcash cannot beat Bitcoin.

To keep out pictures of grandpa porn.

Outside of that...this is only for discussion of the bcash price movement.

I will crack down on any post that is off topic immediately.

And by crack down I mean read.

You are really beginning to come off as a crack pot, and by that I mean to ad homily attack uie.

Is that off-topic enough for you?
