Let's say we are in a concentration camp, and many of the prisoners are suffering from depression. By administering antidepressants that interfere with the natural pathways in their brains, we are able to make them happier and fully functional, so they can continue the slave labour we have set them.  Perhaps the unspoken purpose of such medication is not to make people happier per se, but to make them compliant.

...I was recently (and may still be) ranked #1 in the United States for both productivity and positive client outcomes in my role as a transition coordinator for a Federal financial assistance program the helps nursing home residents with a history of serious mental illness with community reintegration.  I've also worked as a mental health counselor for three agencies which includes the adult psychiatric units of two Chicago Metropolitan hospitals. I've worked with literally thousands of clients being treated with psychiatric medications for all sorts of mental issues including depression and other mood disorders, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia and delusional disorders, substance abuse of all types, personality disorders, chronic homelessness or incarceration, etc.

Are you on this board because you're getting ready to bag us up? Make sure you save me a good seat for when I'm hooked up to a drip and dribbling down my chin. Thanks.

Why do you ignore the tiny red bar? Will you always ignore a tiny red bar? Do you have a clearly defined rule set for "noise" reduction?

If you have a trading system  - in this case it was claimed that the trading system is based solely on the 3dMACD (because it's such a "perfect long term indicator") - and this trading systems generates a sell signal you can't just arbitrarily ignore that signal. If you find it necessary to do so, you are not following the trading system and are in fact invalidating the claim that the trading system is perfect.

ya.ya.yo!
If the definition doesn't fit, change the definition. One of the first rules of politics I think Wink

ye.fi.mo!

Okay I will buy some more to make my total price lower.

Atta boy. Make sure to stock up on a barbiturates if things go wrong though.

Well you cant give up now, you have to buy more to off-set the losses. Is your son good at working around the house? hire him out to earn some money so you can buy some more bitcoin. Not a good move selling his bike, he could have got a paper delivery job with that. You will also need to do some high frequency day trading to make back what you have lost, and you'll have to use 20x leverage at this rate.

Grin Yeah, that kid ain't pulling his weight way I see it. While dad's getting drunk on whisky, he could be spit-polishing shoes to cover his margin position. Alas, the youth of today just don't understand strong work ethic.

Current price action after the rise doesn't fill me with confidence. You want to see people buy the dip, but instead we seem to be witnessing a breakdown. It's not decisive at present, and we may rally yet, but the downside risk from a failure here shouldn't be discounted.

Wow, I just had a look at the (extremely shallow, much moreso than BTC-E) order book of BTCChina and the "volume" (supposed to be x10 that of BTC-E) that it has. It's clear that almost all of it is fake.

Seems like fonzie is right, someone's trying to induce "arbitrage" and buy at other exchanges.

It is called 'speculative arbitrage', but please do not consider volume 'fake' - if it has consequences to you it ain't fake

I'm not sure that it does have consequences. What happens is magic buy and sell orders happen in the spread. These bids and aks never appear on the orderbook, and you'll never actually eat into one, even if it seems you placed your order beforehand. The stuff is indistinguishable from make-believe and that's probably because it is.

No no, orders are placed and consumed within the timeframe it take to bitcoinwisdom to update the book/trade history.
I've never seen it on their own orderbook either. Their whole site is a lag fest, yet these orders consistently get placed and consumed instantaneously with zero effect on the price. Maybe they are somebody using the API to buy and sell their own coins, although there should be a risk there that the two orders don't get placed consecutively and somebody else puts in a bid or ask, but I've never seen this - it always appears to be a riskless, inconsequential operation.

Watching BTCChina melting is pretty funny.

All of those smaller buys, 2-20BTC, they donīt even appear in the orderbook....

Ah, BTCChina's magical orderbook.  Wink

Bitcointalk is our holy house and Satoshi is our saviour. You shall not talk agains the leader in my presence.

Let his light penetrate us, and open up every haustra of our rectums. Such is the might of Satoshi.

This was my recommendation for the guy.
But hey, what do I know. I'm just a troll like anyone else who won't join with the mindless cheerleading around bitcoin.

Hey now, you aren't a troll for not joining in with mindless cheerleading around bitcoin.

You are a troll because you frequent a website called bitcointalk, filled with bitcoin enthusiasts, and only ever make negative bilious bitter comments about bitcoin and the technology. Except when you buy back in of course.

They weren't saying sacrilegious things on church ground were they? Gasp, those despicable trolls. We should be like good Christians, and pour molten lead unto their body. Then the good Lord shall see who is righteous.
2713  Economy / Speculation / Re: I'm All In - Sold My House! on: November 03, 2014, 12:57:56 PM
At least he had a house to sell. Most of the trolls here still live in their mother's basement.

Rest of the house will be wiped out by a tornado don't you know. Basements are the only place where the jurisdiction of the twister does not extend.

Just to make a point here, in the 3d chart the 20 MA and the 200 MA are crossing and this only happened in 2012.  Sad



What occurred the last time this happend?
4 months stability then to the moon

Using Stamp's data for that early period is like using an obscure exchange now to determine price action in the wider market. You need to look at Gox.
2717  Economy / Speculation / Re: Fourth 3dMACD bar is GREEN! on: October 29, 2014, 11:56:24 PM
It looks promising.

Although your "analysis" completely failed, there's still hope... Cheesy


If it turns red, I'm expecting the "Today I bought 2000 Bitcoins!" thread.

Hope springs eternal...

Bitcoin will continue having some utility for certain cultists, bulltards and cryptogeeks -- for at least a couple of years more. They'll trade it among themselves for single digit prices, while the Average Joe -- being smart -- stays away from the digital Beanie Babies.

Yeah, and the Draugr are also known for their intellectual might. I mean come on, Joe Sixpack is levelling maybe one or two above orangutans and baboons.

the thing about the "don't invest what you cannot afford to lose" mantra is that i don't think people really take it to heart. they think, "bitcoin can't go under 400, or 266." they don't psychologically prepare themselves for much, much worse. i get a strong feeling that many people who say "0 or 1 million" really are not at all psychologically prepared for 0.

I can personally promise you the price will never drop below $10.

My group will own every single BTC in existance and use it for our purposes.

Your teddy bears don't constitute a group and your pocket money will not cover the $220M necessary.

Its only crazy if it's all you've got, it might be a small fraction of his net worth for all we know

He inadvertently admitted otherwise. It's a minimum of 43%.
