By the way, Adam, I recall from a few days ago that you were planning to buy back in the $339 area? 

Did you buy back in, yet? 

Maybe this weekend there may be a dip to those $330s price territory? 

I suppose we have to see how tonight and tomorrow play out first?  I am thinking that there may be some upward movement in the next 12 hours.. and maybe even up to 36 hours... and maybe up past $400-ish, up to maybe $420?

Then maybe downward pressures thereafter... towards the end of the weekend...  maybe attempting an overall downward test of the resistance until sometime on Monday... Currently, I have my doubts about any real ability to push BTC prices below $320, though. 

None of my expectations are causing me to sell any BTC, just causing me to consider points in which I may be able to accumulate some more coins at the cheapest possible price......

Shut up shroomie, I am NOT hoping for these kinds of price movements, I am merely attempting to plan for it.

Maybe next week, BTC prices will go upwards and breach $450-ish?

here we go this is the start of the run up to 400

this is our history!!!

He needed the human mic from the "occupy" movement.  NOT sure how many of those guys (and gals - just kidding) heard his speech?

nope, is it on youtube?

Call me a skeptic.... wtvr,   the whole situation doesn't seem real to me... like I have my doubts about whether those guys in the back could have heard him very well. 

I am also skeptical about santa clause, the tooth fairy and the easter bunny.....

Maybe I have been reading too much of this thread, losing some faith and turning me into a kind of shroomie?

"Currencies today operate with two decimal spaces to the right ($1.00). In Bitcoin, there are currently eight so one could theoretically pay you 0.00000001 or one hundred-millionth of a Bitcoin. Not only is this confusing for consumers, it does not fit in existing systems and software for accounting practices."

So the standard would already have a rounding error of at least $1.80 (0.005 bitcoins). As soon as we go up again, that will only increase...

It seems that you are getting the unit wrong. 

The author is NOT talking about going back 3 decimal places, but instead he is talking about going back 6 decimal places.  Currently, if my calculations are correct, 6 decimal places would cause a $364.85 per BTC valuation to have an exchange price of $.00036485 per XBT - or $1 would buy you 274.09 XBTs which is 27,409 satoshis.

Anybody any tips on meeting women? I'm turning 45 this winter, have no social life and haven't touched a woman in...well, a long time.

I usually don't get into off-topic, but this is relevant to investing in a not-too-roundabout way. It's very hard to make good investment decisions if you're sexually frustrated, or if you're relying on getting rich as the way to solve this area of your life.

First, most obvious thing: stop spending time online (no computer except maybe dating sites, no phone except for setting up in-person meets). Never be home. NEVER. BE. HOME. Home is for sleep, breakfast, and sex. Everything else is out there. Stop doing every anti-social/unsocial thing you're doing and start doing social things where you actually interact with people face to face. Doesn't matter what it is or who it is, because for the first few weeks practice is your only goal.

And for those times that you must be online, because you're addicted to content, watching TV/movies is way better than reading things. Couchtuner has most of the good shows. Comedies like Wilfred and visceral shows like Vikings will at least put you in a decent semi-social mindset before you go out. Better yet, take a laptop or smartphone to a coffee shop and watch there. Of course you'll have to graduate from that, but start small if you have to.

You can read pickup books if you want to, as they may provide inspiration on what's possible and open your mind, but beware that a most of them focus on the wrong things (gimmicks, getting numbers) rather than correcting the basic errors most guys end up with from years of indoctrination: scarcity mindset, putting her on a pedestal, taking yourself too seriously, etc. If you want to see material of this nature, as far as I'm aware of, you have to go back 15 years to the Usenet newsgroup alt.seduction.fast circa 1999-2001, which I don't even know how to browse now. Anyway, if you look hard and you need it, you can find it. Even there you have to carefully sort the wheat from the chaff, of course, but there is a lot less harmful advice. Re: The Game (Neil Strauss), it's definitely not the right mindset overall but in with the silliness there are some gems so if you've never done well in your life it can help. I'd look elsewhere first.

Now, nuts and bolts: Never turn down a request to hang out with someone, go to every gathering, party, etc. Find groups that share your interests, hiking clubs, tennis circles, Bitcoin meetups... no matter what it is, it's definitely going to be better than whatever you're doing that led to no social life and not touching a woman in a long time. And do it all, every day have multiple things in your schedule, even better would be to get a part-time job that requires social contact, like being a waiter. Look up every event, festival, concert, etc. in your area, put them in your scheduler and go to as many as you can. Anything to force you out of the house and to interact with people, or at least just be around people as a start.

Alcohol is called a social lubricant for a reason. If you don't drink and have no history of problems with alcohol, I invite you to start - but only in social settings! Drink a decent amount three times a week, at a bar or other such place, never to excess but just enough to get a solid social buzz. (To do this comfortably might require eating better and exercising more, which is a great idea anyway, and you'll need to drink a lot more water.) This alone can work wonders. If, as your name suggests, you prefer other substances, force yourself to only do them with other people. Once you're drinking, it will be way easier to talk to people and make friends. In fact, "drink until girls start returning eye contact" and "drink until you strike up conversations without even noticing" are good guidelines to ensure you're drinking enough (feeling sick, uncoordinated, sloppy, etc. are of course signs you drank too much). At first it might be that you get sloppy drunk and still aren't able to overcome social anxiety, but don't worry; just like in investing, "the trend is your friend" and you're moving in the right direction even if it might take a few weeks to see results. You have to see the upside even when it feels like nothing good is coming, knowing you're doing things that will change your results despite any short term inertia and noise. In other words, you have to HODL through it.

Just keep drinking 3x per week outside the house, keep exercising, keep going out, never be home, never do anything unsocial, never use the computer, never refuse an invitation, fill your schedule with meets any way you can, never dwell on negative thoughts, never analyze, just get out there for a few weeks and it will start to happen naturally. Input creates output; whatever you're doing every day is creating a certain mindset in you that creates a social output that is not working. Hanging out on the Internet and whatever else is pushing you down socially. Take that giant millstone off your neck and start doing all the things that you know push you up socially, and it won't be long before things turn around, assuming you've ever had any success before.

Once you feel up to it, you can do more deliberate things. One easy progression when you're out on the street, at a mall, etc. is to simply lock eye contact with every person you pass. Once you can do that, eye contact and smile. Then graduate to a "Hi!" if you want. That alone will put you in a much more social state.

Then as far as women specifically, you'll want to either go to bars/clubs/etc. or rely on connections, or use the Internet, or do cold/buzzed approaches, or better yet kitchen sink it. Do it all, and do it all at once. If you have specific problems after several weeks, PM me.

Those are real great suggestions for anyone.. and some of the ideas could be tweaked to the extent that a person may feel a need to mix up his/her situation and already getting some decent result or is already employing some socializing activities... ...

I'm loving this bullish pennant from 395.55.  We should break out of it within the next 4-5 hours.


Break out in which direction?   

Probably you would be guessing, unless you happen to know a fairly good-sized whale who is planning to either attempt a pump or a dump within the next few hours... and even then, you may NOT be able to anticipate how much resistance such whale would receive upon employing P &/or D tactics.

the market is very quit right now.

The new people stopped buying because they quickly found out traders will make their investment worthless within minutes after they bought. Would you buy knowing you will get dumped on and your investment will be worth less in no time. I certainly wouldn't.

They a probably waiting on a weekend dip.

Although I don't think we will have one this weekend.


If NO dip, then what?  Only two other options:  sideways or UP.

I was thinking about how sorry I would feel for you if Bitcoin continued going down to a point where you would lose your shit, but then each time I read your posts I think that you might deserve it, everything happens for a reason.

problem is solved already.

since one can assume you own bitcoins you will become filthy rich in the next 36 months.

so, relax, it may take some years, but then woman will hunt you.  Wink

You think 2 coins is enough?


2 BTC may be enough to move out of your mom's basement?

Probably 10BTC minimum will be required to ensure that you can keep some  chick happy.

Well, some people move back to moms/dads house, even when they have a job.
Reason-to save money to buy their own house. A couple of years of such savings and they have enough savings for a downpayment.
I know at least three people in their late twenties doing just this-it seems to get more and more popular because they don't save when they live in apartments, which are damned expensive even here; if NY-forget about it (savings).


I know that living with mom tends to be a denigrating stereotype, and surely there are a large number of exceptions and good reasons to engage in such living at home (cost sharing)  arrangements...

In my above response, I am just picking on Shroomie b/c he tends to deserve being picked on largely because he is such a whiney ass who is nearly continuously engaged in denigrating others, simplifying the ways of the world and/or feeling sorry for himself...

Shroomie birdie-dog is a creature onto himself/herself or itself.... and s/he it inspires confrontation.    Cheesy Cheesy  Cheesy

I'm all for riiiiiising and everything... but NOW, you appear to be trolling us...   these are NOT your personal facts.
riiiiiising is ShroomKits' alt. I had no idea he went all in at $1100. Explains his behavior.

There still has to be more to the story than that.  Few of us who are active in this forum subscribe to what I refer to as the "balls to the walls" method of investing.   

So even if you hunch about shroomie / riiiiising is correct- Recall when the price dipped from mid-$600s to lower $500s, Shroomie had turned into a psycho bear for a short period and then he claimed to have sold and then bought back at $500... that kind of behavior would truly affect a person's buy in average.... and it would NO longer be factually accurate to claim that you went all in at $1,100, when your buy-in average has been lowered by subsequent behavior.... IN other words, lying by omission.

Welcome to my ignore list. Idiot.

Did you know: the English suffix "-ant" (like the far more common suffix "-er") is attached to a verb to signify a person who does the corresponding action.  Thus, for example, "to claim" --> "claimant", "to defend" --> "defendant",  "to protest" --> "protestant", etc..  So, beware: every time you click on the "ignore" button, you become more ignorant.

I agree with you Jorge.... Whoaza... something must be happening in our relationship.    Cheesy Cheesy

OH LOOK another dump. Thanks dumbass traders, we could have been well past the ATH by now, if the stupid traders weren't always ruining it. Does it make you happy to destroy bitcoin?

If selling would destroy Bitcoin, I am in the wrong game. Just be patient. Many years if necessary.

I have been waiting patiently since when I bought last year at $1100. Everyone told me that we were going up to $1,500 at least, so I went all in and now I'm being told I have to wait YEARS??? People, please, just stop selling and we will go back to the ATH immediately. This is market manipulation, it's so obvious. Just hold and don't let them win!

Imagine, pounded flat.  So satisfying.
I just googled "Rocky Mountain oysters", I wish I didn't  Cry
lmao

What wikip fails to mention is peeling and pounding is done with the testicles still attached to the bull.

Seems like you are just seeking a reaction, such as:  "ewe gross!!!!!"     such a profound topic, almost as good as cheesestick's discussion of the cooling of shit.  Very deeeeep.... ......  NOT....    Roll Eyes Tongue

could btc/usd prices be impacted by cryptsys huge volume of XRP markets ? and would altcoins help or make it worse for the growth of BTC/USD?

The altcoins that come to mind that seek larger speculation of growth like Coin Magi (XMG), Primecoin (XPM), Peercoin (PPC) ..?


DOGE is a pretty big one

its hard to say exactly how it these alts effect he BTC market

but the idea that BTC is needed to bid in these markets is rather bullish for BTC.


Alts have diluted capital flow into BTC. Perhaps just fool's money, but imagine if all the cash that went into DOGE et al. went into BTC.


money moving towards alts is getting less:


nice graph from Pantera.  Bitcoin continuing to gain on altscams:

https://cdn.panteracapital.com/wp-content/uploads/Pantera-Bitcoin-Letter-September-2014.pdf





YES!!! That is certainly an interesting trend, when some people try to give so much importance to the supposed dynamic of alts stealing away market cap from BTC, when we look more closely at the facts, the story seems to be quite to the contrary... alts are proliferating and so far pretty much stealing from each other rather than from bitcoin b/c as a whole bitcoin is NOT losing market share to such alts.  NOW again, that is a good metric to monitor b/c it could change in a year or so or somewhere down the line some of the alts may begin to take some market share from BTC.

Well, that was how I was thinking too, but the percentage has been around 90% for the past week. Will be interesting to see if it goes nearer 95% again, perhaps when bitcoin is back in the $600s

Yep.. there has been some pretty considerable price fluctuations in the past few weeks, and we will have to see how this plays out in the next few weeks.  There could even be a great exponential growth in BTC and alts may or may NOT follow (or outpace the growth of BTC like they seemed to have done for a short period in late 2013).

Going to be epic



did to anyone occur that he who is opening those short knows what is he doing?

If they know what they're doing they've got way bigger balls than me

What happens if a large buyers steps up and forces margin calls?


they dont need to have bigger balls -> just insiders info.

Wink


insiders info directly from the CEO of bitcoin?

Wink


no, directly from mr 30 k guy who is btw raping stamp's order book since july.


NOW, you are engaging in near total speculation, here, Tarmi.  I doubt that you have any real direct evidence that there is only one guy responsible for downward price manipulation.  Sure it is plausible, but what is the evidence, beyond your merely baldly asserting such?
