Lets see if Gox holds at 800 - getting tested....
So little volume - price moves now can easily be wiped out rather fast. Am still holding some fiat, all-in feels too risky (for me).

just bought back with huge loss from 720 wall, im now 10/90
I have reduced fiat at a loss too... I was holding a few bucks for half a dozen cheap coins - have reduced this fiat by half now, it doesn't look like the low 600's are coming back soon. But hey that's Bitcoin - if we go much higher I will cash in some alts to make up for it, they have made me a bit as BTC has looked bullish again.

Looking a little bearish - you still got fiat, Ghandibt?
I have been 'hodling' a bit of fiat since before the weekend - only half a dozen BTC-worth at current price, but still have buys set sub-600 down to 500....
Am still thinking I might be able to make a coin or two...

That is pretty amazing - one of those 'one slip and you're dead' drives. I took a car and drove all round Iceland this summer and I shat myself on some of the gravel covered hairpin mountain roads. Bum-clenching 'don't look down' moments a-plenty - but not at rally speeds like in that vid. I am a pussy and I quite like life!

Audi's where shit in the 80's? The FUD in this thread's bad but it reached new heights there. 80's group B cars where the most ball out cars ever, and the group B car with the biggest balls was the quattro. Audi took BMW's crown as the favourite car of assholes in recent years but they've lead tech race many times too. Putting a British built ball of shite in the same class as a Niva gets the fudometer jumping too, Chelsea tractors don't even come close to solid Russian engineering for dependability (just cut the crap and get a Unimog ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) ). Goat, put studded tires on that thing and scare the crap out of yourself ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Oh yeah, it went up and down. Looks like something nasty in the works for tomorrow imho but I'm a certified tinfoil hat wearer, looks like there's been diminishing returns on panic induction so maybe they given up on the smash and grabs for now. I bought a Quattro in the 80s and it was one the most gloriously fun and fast cars I ever had. It held the road like nothing else around at the time and it took me three months to get used to it, I always felt it would not hold bends that it actually could. And it used to talk to me - had a voice warning system - which was like something out of that Hasslehof Kight Rider thing - awesome car. still miss it.... I drive a much more boring car now, but will treat myself from Bitcoin's rise at some point. Hope that doesn't take too long, already dream of graphs, I will be blind in another year at this rate, or at least partly crazy... Merry Christmas all, BTW - and special wishes to Goat and his family for showing us a little happiness is possible through being nerdy crypto-loving geeks.

I can't fine the person to quote, but he said whenever everyone bets on one trend the opposite will happen instead. He is clearly right, so this one feels good: ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.quickmeme.com%2Fimg%2F4d%2F4d70116913aad1b993c74892562430f577b80f4a949987c49e1cb995a8ed4972.jpg&t=663&c=5K_6-7q4uYWxOQ) Might have been me: The only thing I have consistently seen here is when the crowd tips one way, Bitcoin is quite happy to go the other.
That said - I don't have prophetic pretensions - I just know that it's very hard to call it. I am still holding some 'play fiat' (it is the weekend and just before Christmas after all) and I have been holding it for a few days. I think that is wise, but the general bearish mood is unusually strong - and our worst crashes have been when we are most bullish.

With everyone expecting cheap coins - no-one is going to bash the market down just to watch their coins being gobbled up.
I still have a little fiat, but I am beginning to wonder if the low buys I have set up will be filled.

I am buying with cash, gold, and some silver.
I am long term bullish, but sell when clients want to. Inducing panic only hurts my own holdings, which I have not sold a single BTC of.
I know you're a bull - it comes over big-time. But you love the game, and if the client wants to play, that's up to them - you know that. Big respect though, hope you're keeping notes for a book one day, I would buy it, ruined 1000 dollar suits in Chinese toilets and all.

Anyway - I do need to get some sleep, so - I have set up my buys and I will wake up to see if they are filled.
I will be fine if they do and fine if we wake up way higher.
BTW - Loaded made my day. He is a genius - that was a hell of a move, real 'cohones' I love Bitcoin!

Maybe Loaded just got back with his cheap coins and wants some bucks back. He must play both ways, after all. You can't blame him for needing a little cash back - it ain't all his own money.... EDIT - everyone was asking 'how do you arb China'? Answer - take a plane full of USD over ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) Loaded's goals and most everyone else's goals are likely to be very different. I think Loaded is a hero, but if that was someone else's money and there is a price gap - the temptation to get a little fluid cash must be high. Any sales depress the price and make buying back low easier - so what's to lose - if he is sitting on a $200 margin, why not play? It will be less painful - Loaded is a long term bull, but he who pays the piper calls the tune. We shall see - I hope it is a buyer with long-term aspirations - but if Loaded did pull off that trip, it's a fantastic trade whatever happens. Why do you keep thinking of "cash" as profit? I dont see why selling would be just about getting "cash" back. It can be both.... When you're a market mover, you can sell and buy back at profit... That means both holdings in BTC and Fiat are up.... Whoever i can see some guys here are just delusional..... That is not what I was saying. I was pointing out that even if he sold a load, he could probably buy them back cheaper - with the arb margin taken into account it is not hard. I am here for coins - bullish to the core, but big fish can play both ways, and if you are full BTC you can't play the market to increase your coin stash - you do see that, right? 'No fiat, no buy cheep coinz'

The way I see it is that there are the big players, who can individually move the price to wherever they want, and the rest of the market that can collectively move it, but not where any individual wants it. But if any of the big guys does something that the majority of the market disagrees with, or any one of the other big players, they get burned...
Big guys hardly ever agree with each other as well, what Loaded called "whale eating"... You can attack whales from above, or below... Just saying.

Don't let Goat bullshit you. He has more money (btc and fiat) than he can count.
Fiat? I thought it was a Lambo. Hello Aido - you've been quiet, I guess we can't push 'naming the m BTC' just now - but sooner or later, eh?

i was under the impression that he only buys. ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) At worst he was picking up for $200 short of the price on Gox, what would you do? He can do what the hell he wants right now.

sell down to 715 and now 800 btc sell wall up
Hmmmm, interesting, could get dicey, though seems a bit early, imo. You want someone to tell the market to wait until you're ready? ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif)
