HOW are we bleeding this bad??
People shorting this shit to the ground at the moment, I suspect. Even though the CBOE and CME are cash settled, I'm sure some of the big shorters have figured out how to short on the Bitcoin exchanges as well. I'm sure there are more than a few individuals who have made lots of USD shorting BTC from the top. Not sure why the people going long haven't put much effort in protecting their position(That I can detect. If they did, they got owned.). Must be some really dumb money. |

Seriously, how can we keep hitting new lows again and agai ?
What are people thinking about ? Is everybody here trying to sell now to buy back at a later dip ?
Some are. I'm sure some are shorting with margin as well. Which is basically the same concept as sell now buy later. |

Gee whiz. Do these bears ever run out of coins?  |

Ask side is thin so we are back above 9000 in no time if just a few start to buy.
Unfortunately, the amount of support and resistance on the books seem to be a reverse indicator. I am keeping my fingers crossed that we do see 9000 soon though. |

You know, I really despise that the Bitcoin.com pool, run by Roger Ver, won't include transactions that pay less than 10 sats/byte in their block and then signals "Use Bitcoin Cash." What a fucking jerk.  |

This entire post is a load of shit.
Canadians have universal health Care.
Canadian Citizen: "Doctor. I am shitting blood." Canadian Doctor: "Ok, well, let me get you an appointment with a specialist to get you looked at" ... 3 months later ... Canadian Specialist: "Sorry. You have advanced Stage III colon cancer. If only we caught you two months earlier." This is why healthcare needs to be run by non-profit charitable organizations. Yes, such organizations have their problems too. However, it makes absolutely no sense to try and profit off the sick and the dying. Getting the government involved just adds a bunch of bureaucratic red tape. |

Wouldn't a decent auditor pay attention to dates and times? Or do they now have a bank that's willing to fix the books? I suppose they could persuade Omni to do a hard fork to change those dates and times too.
The point in case is that every single tether should be backed by a dollar bill. I think this is what the regulators care most about. the timing is actually important...they need to back before creating Perhaps they can explain to the auditors that depositing dollars with Bitfinex/Tether.io is equivalent to depositing it into a black hole. After it passes through the event horizon, time becomes totally irrelevant.  |

I wonder if it is good news that Finex/Tether has not printed any Tethers since the 23rd of January.
They need to buy real dollars to show to the coming audit. Only when they have the truck loaded and the audit done that they will print more. I hope they print 10x more, just to watch r0ach post a dozen of walltexts about ponzi schemes, silver, jews, women, etc. Wouldn't a decent auditor pay attention to dates and times?

Prediction:
We will go to $7.4k within eight hours from now and then whipsaw back to over $8k.
OK, I'll set up a few more bids then. Got to get back some more of those satoshis that I panic dumped, yesterday, when tired and grumpy.  |

So here's the thing.. I remember not a day ago, prices were this low, and everyone was panicking about it in the forums.
So why is it that when we bounce from 7.6k up to here, everyone seems optimistic now? Masterluc seems absolutely certain that we'll just bounce up. TERA2 has stated that we will bounce to 13k too, but the difference between them is that one thinks it's 2013, the other 2014.
Is it that obvious that we're just going to go straight back up? Nothing to be too excited about if prices stay in 4-digits for the next few months, for instance.
It's not about the price per se, but the bounce. Why isn't it a dead cat bounce? Who's to say it won't go to 5.5k next? I don't think it will, but everyone else seems to think 5 digits is coming soon. The bounce happened on rather high volume. This would indicate at around 7.6K, there is a great deal of support(lots of people want to buy at this price.) However, many suspect that this market is highly manipulated. I personally think applying technical analysis to these charts is equivalent to predicting the future with a horoscope chart. Just my opinion, though. |

Excellent, logical and positive post! Would have +1’d but I ran out of spendable merit!
** If you need 2 merits to get one sMerit, will everyone eventually run out of sMerit?
There are some users who are designated as sources. So they keep getting sMerit to hand out. I guess you just need to figure out who those people are and get on their good side. |

Hello somebody know +/- what block POS starts? 345,601 |

Vowing to myself not look at my phone at 3:00 am tonight, like I did last night. Setting up a few bids in case it goes lower while I sleep. Although it would be nice to get back some of my BTC that I let go, earlier; it will be nicer to see a monumental rebound. Maybe a deep dip followed by the mother of all rebounds would be ideal. That's probably hoping for too much though. |

oooooh, I like that theory too tldr/ bitfinex may have been indeed printing unbacked tethers at key moments to snap up cheap coins then selling the BTC OTC for real dollars to back the tethers the auditors were going to notice that things were happening in the wrong order Well the Tether printing press last created a batch on 01/23/2018. https://omniexplorer.info/default.aspx?filter=grant Not sure how that fits in with the theory. |

ok
I'll say it :
Who sold at bottom ?
That would be me. My weak hands just couldn't HODL any longer. Ranks up there in one of the dumb moves that I have made.  Probably, because at 3:00 am in the morning, I got up to use the restroom and looked at the charts. Been up ever since, looking at the charts more than actually working. Exhausted and cranky, I just dumped during my lunch break. Oh well, at least I still have 70% of my holdings in the private keys stored on my Trezor. |

Can you break this down for me? What are the red flags here? Combining a bunch of small inputs of exactly equal amounts. Why would someone have hundreds of UTXO of equal amounts that are all basically dust? I don't get the use case here. Could be wrong. |

We are quickly approaching 1-2 sat/Byte BTC transaction fee area. Not there yet, still in 2-5 sat/B zone, but can easily happen tomorrow. This means that tomorrow some 0 fee transactions may be quickly accepted by miners. Insane when you remember where we where two weeks ago.
Unfortunately, most of the pools are set up to ignore 0 fee transactions and not include them in a block. Also, I suspect that Bitcoin.com, F2Pool and maybe Antpool have set things up to ignore transactions with slightly higher fees than that as well. However, the situation is vastly improved. There are some transactions that have been stuck since November that are clearing. (Although I supect many of these are indeed spam.) |
