For some reason, Forbes refuses to load on all my browsers. It stops at the "consent" page (which doesn't render and stays blank). I turned off Adblock, too. Go figure.

Could you copy/paste at least the most relevant bits?

Oh rly? Shit -> Fan?

In other words, pick one.

A. Pre-bull FUD (all your cheepcoinz belongz to uz)
B. Real news, backed by facts
C. FUDNEWZ, partially backed or not 100% accurate

On a related note, my gambling BCH short has grown in size and has been repositioned a bit higher. In the green now. I'm tempted to close it, but greed is a thing when I gamble (not when I hedge).

... and irregular, un-barty movement for btc. An interesting week is ahead.
Or, to put it the WO way, "The next week is critical."

The precious bits of info you managed to dig out made you a legend already.
Not to mention the very fne ladies portrayed in some of your most memorable posts.
Way to go!

Y U no Bitstamp?

I'd love to see him debate the Donald, or the FBI. I really hope he runs for president. Of course he doesn't stand a chance - and he's smart enough to say it aloud and repeatedly, but can you imagine the fun?

Have fun man, and don't forget to share the menu!

Agreed. Let's have a pint on the sidelines.

I wasn't expecting this low volume sideways on this particular weekend. Was it just a fake movement in the pre-weekend? Hm, but not all futures have expired. Wait and see...

Unless that figure is 90% bcash.

Bloomberg (https://www.bloomberg.com/view/articles/2018-09-27/bitmain-s-prospectus-reveals-a-lot-about-bitcoin-s-wild-ride?srnd=premium-europe) says
And I suspect that it's even more than 66/33. Why? Because 90% of 2018 income was hardware sales, most of which likely payed in bcash. The exact published figures can be adjusted by slightly cooking the books.

They are. My advice is do not thouch.

Please pick one choice only.

A. You're too cynical!

B. I think so too.

As Hairy too suggested. And I agree. They can't even hint at burning money to pump bcash long term. Their investors wouldn't like it a single bit.

Furthermore, if I were an investor considering the IPO, one question I would ask would be about their supposedly valuable crypto reserves. How much of that is bcash? If I were an investor who's got a clue, I mean.

What we're mostly concentrating on right now is: what happens once top meets bottom? Where do we break out to?

Interesting piece, less generic than the usual MSM article about crypto.

I didn't know that.


I'd read about this only a few days ago. Opera used to be an innovative company. Their browser was arguably the best - surely the quickest and leanest of them all, fully customizable, and if I'm not mistaken, the first to feature browsing tabs in the early 2000's. However, they couldn't sustain developing their own rendering engine and dropped it for Google's, so now it's just a Chromium browser - and not the best of the pack.

They will have to keep on delaying deliveries of new miners and enjoy their ius primae noctis to capitalize on mining advantage. If I were a customer pre-ordering mining equipment, I'd be very, very wary, even more so than before.

The article doesn't detail how much of that is bitcoin and how much is bcash. I think it's an important piece of information.

Old corporate money shouldn't like this too much. Free cash flow is too good to give up for magic internet money, especially if it's an altcoin. This might be the reason Bitmain stopped the "bcash only" policy for payments.

I have never used Deribit, so I don't know about sub accounts. The term "cross margin" usually refers to the fact that your margin (deposited funds) is shared among all open positions, so the actual effective leverage depends on your total margin amount and the total size of all your positions - basically, total_positions/total_margin.

I don't know any details about the IPO, but I guess the new stakeholders won't be happy to burn fiat to save bcash. If I were old money, I wouldn't put any "real" old money (fiat) into an enterprise without being granted a reasonable degree of control.

I'm also in (slight) profit, but getting out would be rushing it for me. I'm still trying to build the short up one bite at a time.

EDIT My timing this round was just lucky. As soon as I closed the BTC hedging short, she got up a little. I didn't reopen it, but I replaced it with a short on BCH. Not of the hedging type, though...
