You're right I won't. Because if the Tech industry has its way, all human workers will be replaced by AI and androids. And we'll all be broke and homeless, can't afford healthcare, and trying to work the measly 'gig economy' jobs that are left.

Do I sound pessimistic? 

Oh boy I sure have noticed that. I need to get my head examined for still using Win10. But I do find it easier to use than Linux, even though I love Linux and have it running on a few machines.

When I first set up my Win10 laptop, I set up a OneDrive account like MS likes for you to do. Then about a year later, even though I never use it I manually changed my OneDrive credentials. Then suddenly Win10 REALLY started to complain, calling it a 'Microsoft Account Problem' that needs immediate attention. I now get nag notifications daily that Win10 is out of sync with my OneDrive account and they REALLY REALLY want me to re-sync. Now why would that be? Why would they care so much?  

I don't mean to offend (although this likely will), but I see you've drank the Koolaid. You will be disappointed. IBM is the #1 Repeat Offender.

One days years from now, you'll look back and see the continuous Tech cycle pattern for what it actually is: all hype and bullshit designed and marketed to get people to spend money, and to create tech jobs and departments out of thin air, always building future solutions looking for a problem that doesn't exist. Hardly any of it really improves human life to any real degree.

I was clued in that Tech was peaking when the iPhone didn't change at all after several generations, and my five old laptop doesn't do anything less than a current one.

Now they've moved on to useless things like smart watches, wireless doorbells, and in-home spy pods.

And don't even get me starting on the IoT, "Internet of Things". God what snake oil marketing. /facepalm

No it's not amazing. Just a bunch of young people doing a mindshare grab for "Blockchain expert" just to find a high paying job somewhere. I only count about 2-3 people in that roster that I would consider actual crypto experts.

But hey it could be worse. Just wait, in 5-10 years when you see a speaker lineup like that and it's all 40-50 yr old men and women in suits with the "Executive such and such of Blockchain" title, you'll know the crypto/blockchain industry has been completely taken over and compromised by the FinTech nimwit snake oil sales and marketing people.

Please don't encourage him 

Yeah April 2013 comparison would honestly make more sense. My belief is that whales were charging up into the market because they already knew the real game was coming later into the year. So they were already accumulating even though April looked like a bubble. People have to understand that this is a really thin market, so any heavy accumulation on exchange will cause massive bubble swings.

So my theory now is that, if we don't see another significant drop in the coming 6-8 weeks, it means that this is just a pre-show to something bigger coming soon^TM. Otherwise the whales would just trade this thing back down to pre-Nov levels, let it go and be done with it.

Why would you pump hundreds of millions (billions) of dollars over a year's time into a market that was just going to go back down? You wouldn't.

Love that pic jojo

Dead wrong. Price fell below cost of mining in 2015, and it didn't cause Bitcoin to go to zero.

Miners will just stop selling and hold, and exchanges will just wash trade the float until buying pressure picks up again.

The other major difference between now vs. 2013/2014 was leverage. Back then there was shit ton of it, and Bitcoin was leveraged anywhere from 100:1 to 500:1 (on a few Chinese exchanges). Pretty easy to push a small, thin market around with that kind of leverage. Especially on Gox where the majority was probably fake/naked leverage and shorting going on.

Now, not so easy with this size market and so many more exchanges offering much less leverage opportunity.

That's awesome. Btw whatever happened with that one Asian woman who you said had bought and was speculating on every crypto under the sun on her laptop?

Ah well, no. No you don't.

"John Mcafee's Super Pervo Powder". On Amazon @ $49.99 for a 30-day supply.

Yep, sadly it would sell like mad and he'd be a multi-millionaire once again.  

FOMO'ing down, lol. So was Bitfinex FOMO'crashing back in Jan? 

Actually I retract that, apologies. I think I was getting you mixed up with Gab0. My mistake.

Coming from an account that just comes here to troll, that's choice.

I hope a few of you guys are being a little sardonic in your criticism.

While this *is* the WO speculation thread, anyone who takes the TA presented here and trades on it seriously is an idiot.

All of the TA presented is based on "feelings" and amateur hour chart analysis, if you can even call it that.

Oh the greed and hubris of the "let's reinvent the wheel" ICO industry.

Yeah we could simply use bitcoin for this. But nah, let's just spin off a whole new crypto instead.  

The war in Syria is just a front. Russia is expanding their cheap LNG output via Gazprom to countries like China and Iran. Key pipelines run through parts of Syria. The U.S. doesn't like this expansion, as it directly competes with sales of LNG from the U.S., Qatar and Australia. The U.S. has levied sanctions against Russia in an attempt to thwart LNG construction contracts and slow down their expansion.  Needless to say, Russia is getting more and more irritated with U.S. foreign policy.

As a permabull, I'll make an even more bearish statement.

In Bitcoin's history, there has never been a downtrend reversal and start of a new bull run, without first pursuing a major stop loss hunt and major long liquidation. Never.

So take that for what it's worth.
