Do I have to remind you guys that keeping coins and not spending them means you're killing it as a currency? But , again everbody is free to believe one day he's gonna be rich from bitcoins. Glad I don't have this problem ![Tongue](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/tongue.gif) And BTW, i spend them too. And I donate to BTC causes too. It's just that my stash tends to increase instead of decreasing, is that bad in your opinion?

I'm still wondering what the 7.5k btc buy at 1pm CET was all about. I didn't see it when it took place, but I'm pretty sure it was one big order.
Why would a whale buy right into the downtrend? He had a slippage alone of 3 or 4 USD. And why not wait a few hours longer and buy even cheaper.
It's too much volume to be a stabilizing move, in my opinion, but it doesn't make much sense otherwise. I'm puzzled.
If you really believe in BTC, perhaps a few dollars (or many) here and there doesn't really matter. When you see an opportunity to pick up a few (7.5k - I'm about 7.499 jealous) you do it. I'm holding for the future, so I can imagine a guy with money, just buys it and says "I'll check again in 5 years." Yeah. I'm in for the long haul. I'm quite happy with the amount of BTC I have, and I buy a little more with my spare cash. I don't have any intention of "cashing out" soon. The truth is that I really believe that "you simply do not cash out from BTC". I would like to "cash out" from fiat. Yeah, I know - that's wishful thinking. But I guarantee I value much more the coins that the $, even if I need the $ to eat. Call me crazy.

Testing $105ish today? I think as soon as we touch it we will go through it like a hot knife through butter.
Next level to be tested will be $90ish, and next REAL support $80ish. Anyhow, as Oda said earlier I think testing $80 won't happen too soon. But honestly, I think the sooner the better. I wouldn't mind at all going rapidly to $50 and double bottoming it hard, with big volume. That would mean that the only way is UP, slowly, but UP. IMO that's the best case scenario for the bulls. Breaking ATH during this year is not happening IMO. And a rally to $165 won't happen any soon neither.
I enjoy reading your posts Rampion. You were talking about this the other day and I think I was split. There is a part of me that just doesn't want to trade out of something I believe in. Do you know what I mean?But on the other hand, I'm thinking "Hey, maybe I can get more of what I believe in". And then there is the Angel over my shoulder saying "Don't be greedy, if BTC is successful, you will only need one." ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) But realistically, I feel we go lower. The unknown variable is some good news coming out when we least expect it. If that happens on a down move after exiting a position, it creates a... headache. ehehehhe I guess then, what you did, selling a smaller percentage (20% was it?) is reasonable. I'm debating that now... And how about Coinseeker? Man, I really think it is two alter egos. Right now he is down. I don't know what to say. eheeheh Not talking smack bro, just enjoying the diversity of the forum. We are sort of a soap opera here. Anyway, I promise you this, if we do go substantially lower, say the 50 Euro level (no, not dollar level, there I would be taking loans out ;-), I will try to save every penny I can and buy more BTC... Because I believe in it... I feel you. I usually do not sell coins, just buy more at dips. Sometime I sell a little "play money", like I did today at $108.5. Obviously it would have felt GREAT to triple my coins during the crash from $266 to $50 and then back to $165. But honestly, I just holded what I had and bought more. I had a lot of bids filled (but I missed the biggest one which I pleaced at 39€ish), and I was lucky that I had a nice amount of fiat at the exchange. Catching the top is difficult for me, ad it's just that I cannot stand when I sell coins and I have to buy back at a loss. During the crash to $80ish I lost like 15 BTC because I was temporarily blinded by greed... And I was reassured once again of what I already know, that I'm an investor and not a trader, that I do not like to sell coins, and I follow price just because I like to buy at the lowest price possible so my "average entry point" is way below the spot price. Hope this made sense ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

Man, the guy wants a Lambo, how is it possible that 90% of the posts in here are about what YOU would buy instead? It's a daydreaming thing? A "what I would do if I won the lotto" kinda of mental masturbation? Because I don't see that kind of lengthy and passionate "this card is much better" debates when someones WTB a 7970 or whatever ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif)

Guys, what's the need to hurt yourself? Is greed so blinding, really?
Let it go. We got in the arse with BFL. We suffered, and now we accept we will never get our Singles, Mini Singles and Mini Rigs.
Don't add insult to the injury. So now they sell their chips in order for the community to find out how to design units from them? And you BUY?
Seriously guys. Have a little bit of self-respect at least.

The amazing thing of this guy is that he is trying to scam from his very first day on these forums, but I guess he is so bad at it he doesn't even needs a scammer tag

Man. It's so f**king obvious that nobody can "source" Avalon chips from TSMC that is ridiculous you even asked. Do you have a clue of how a company like TSMC works? They are producing chips for EVERYBODY, including Apple or Nvidia, their security standards are top-notch and applied to every customer by default. Probably they don't even know who "Avalon" is, very likely every customer is just a number for 99.9% of the employees, and there's no friggin' way you contact TSMC and somebody is able to tell you that they are not manufacturing for this or the other customer.
Sorry, I didn't read the other page, I was (and I am) too amazed that you dared to ask such a thing to your "contact", and even more amazed by the fact that you had the guts to post such a ridiculous nonsense in a public forum.
And BTW, you have the proof now that "this person" is at the "an uncle that works at Nintendo" level, because he laughed out loud at your face telling you that somebody told her that TSMC is not producing those chips anymore. Only two options here bro, either she is a clown, or she is clueless, otherwise you just do not say such thing because you would feel ashamed.
AND BTW: next time ask her to "source" you the prototypes for the next iPhone from Foxconn, and when she replies that "somebody told me Foxconn is not manufacturing Apple devices anymore" you tell us, ok? I'm fully aware of what TSMC is and its position, I just asked her because I figured it'd be worth a shot as she's never failed me in the past. I got a peculiar response which I thought nothing of until I saw this thread. quit gettin mad about posts on the internet I guarantee you I'm not mad at all, just amazed and laughing hard, really.

A fiat currency crash would be desirable as a wakeup call.
This all damn day! A bit of hyperinflation curtesy of our friends at the FED and their "quantitive easings"? ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2F3.bp.blogspot.com%2F_YGLQQZTHoU0%2FTL9BaZHkvuI%2FAAAAAAAAL8M%2F_S2gtkS7Pmg%2Fs1600%2FInflation-1923.jpg&t=663&c=69g56EjwTTEhNQ)

Guys, I wanted to make you a favour... So I sold a little coins at $108.5... Just because I wanted the price to rebound UP, I know you feel bad when our beloved BTC crashes
It's working... It's working.... IT'S WORKING!!!! Yeah. Like a boss.

Man, think about what you write. TSMC is a motherfuckin' business of $14 billion turnover per year. You just do not call them and ask to the operator, "hey, are you still doing those Avalon chips, yeah, those for that Yifu student in his 20s and his friend"?
Come on, how can you even dare to post something like this in a forum without feeling ridiculous?
Wake up, man: TSMC has more than 30,000 employees. Your "friend" is full of shit, and your crazy/dumb/whatever for even listening at her without laughing out loud. 1) This was all settled on the last page. You missed the bus bro. 2) As I mentioned before, I was told what I was told a week ago and I didn't bring it up. The only reason I brought it up now was because of some potentially troubling news in the OP. (I missed the post where Yifu said that he was woken up in the middle of the night and came to post) 3) This person represents a network of people in China that have previously been extremely good at sourcing anything we've possibly needed. In the case of the Avalons this is the first time they've ever been unable to find something for me. This isn't the case of someone who says he has an uncle that works at Nintendo. But all of this is a moot point because it was settled on the last page. Man. It's so f**king obvious that nobody can "source" Avalon chips from TSMC that is ridiculous you even asked. Do you have a clue of how a company like TSMC works? They are producing chips for EVERYBODY, including Apple or Nvidia, their security standards are top-notch and applied to every customer by default.

How do so many people come up with this ridiculous notion independently from each other? ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) @OP don't mind them and me. It's just that this must be the most asked question on the forums and there have been heated debates when people really couldn't be convinced it would be ridiculous to implement this so some people are fed up with it ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) It's called the "I missed the early adopter train" syndrome. Which is BS, as everybody with brains know. Just buy and be grateful you were able to know about BTC so early ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

I have a contact in China which I use for sourcing inventory. Last week I asked her to look into getting ahold of the Avalon chips for less than the 0.085~ BTC rate the chips are typically going for in this forum's group buy threads. She contacted the TSMC foundry, which said that they aren't producing the chips anymore. At the time I brushed it off as maybe she had bad information or any other numbers of things could have happened, but with this new information this does not bode well.
Is it not possible that TSMC would just deny producing Avalon chips due to security/insurance concerns? Admitting it is pretty much saying "come on in guys, we produce money generating ICs!" The key word here is "anymore". Also I doubt that the world's largest semiconductor foundry is worried about security. Man, think about what you write. TSMC is a motherfuckin' business of $14 billion turnover per year. You just do not call them and ask to the operator, "hey, are you still doing those Avalon chips, yeah, those for that Yifu student in his 20s and his friend"? Come on, how can you even dare to post something like this in a forum without feeling ridiculous? Wake up, man: TSMC has more than 30,000 employees. Your "friend" is full of shit, and your crazy/dumb/whatever for even listening at her without laughing out loud.

you don't have to SELL bitcoin to be wealthy. Having bitcoin is enough. Cashing out is for the weak. Just wait a bit and we will be able to USE bitcoin
Love this kind of posts. If you finished it with a beautiful "BUY BUY BUY" I would have saved it for posterity ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

1 ... 2 ... 3 go rally up ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) ok not now, but when ? Depends on what kind of rally you expect. Bull traps, soon enough. Rally up to $165 and then the sky is the limit? Not this year I'd say. But hey, aren't we all in this for the long run? Just enjoy the cheap coins, thousands feel better than hundreds, and you will enjoy them during the next hype cycle, which will happen sooner or later, unless Bitcoin is replaced/destroyed.

I guess they locked him in for good, and they threw the keys of his nut-cell to the toilet, and flushed it a couple of times. Well, we saw it coming ![Sad](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/sad.gif) Looking on the bright side of things he's probably saving a bunch of cash on expensive hotels. That made me LOL. Hard.

xseeee ME...but ... the best scenario for a bull is a price drop? ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) yeah , I know i'm reading between lines but still , was funny For a realistic long-term bull with his feet on the ground (like most of us here) it's indeed the best case scenario, considering we had PARABOLIC growth (=bubble) a few weeks ago. For a "rptard style" delusional bull short on meds expecting $300k per BTC by the end of the year, I guess "best case scenar¡o" is TO THE MOON and nothing else ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) Whatever happened to that rptard guy, did they let him out of the 'secure unit' yet ? I guess they locked him in for good, and they threw the keys of his nut-cell to the toilet, and flushed it a couple of times. Well, we saw it coming ![Sad](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/sad.gif)
