Chucked you a supportive merit, I miss her (for I am pretty sure Tera was a she) too. I also learned a few things from Tera's posts.
She was pretty good in 2013 / 2014 (and was hated) and was right to be bearish this time (and was hated again). But she wasn't totally wrong, just coldly realistic - and IMHO much misunderstood. The odd, sophisticated contrarian is actually a good thing at times. Opposing views, even if they are predicting 'pain to come' are wise to at least factor in, rather than simply shout down. Otherwise this thread is risking just being an echo chamber.
I agree Tera had a useful role. Not a shill or a one-way FUDder; not always right (who is?), not always wrong (even SOMA predictions are almost always wrong), but informed and intelligent. I also gave her a bit of bashing now and then, but keeping a hateless, rational, arguing attitude. Tera sounded more like a "she" back then in 2013-2014, quite less in recent times. It almost felt like the account had changed hands. I reckon BTC will inevitably exceed the last ATH by a lot in the end - but surely long term hodlers (of all people) have learned that there is never gain without pain. It is just how it is - but it is also how the gain is truly earned. If it was easy, every fucker would be rich.
Amen. So, Hairy - work on the charts and if you start to get it right, I for one will be grateful. OK, not for the pain, if that is what is due - but for an idea it might be coming? Sure.
Keep up the good work, Hairy! |

And down we go.
I won't be surprised if we find ourselves the mid 5ks by the weekend.
Please, capitulate. Stop checking the price every minute, will you?
I will check it for you, don't worry. O:-)

yup im getting to the point of only checking the price every few days. soon it will be weeks between checks. wake me up out of my stupor if anything interesting happens ZZZzzzzzzz... Thank you for nurturing the much needed capitulation. Well gentlemen, let's get this done quickly. Meh, the next halving won't come until mid 2020. This might linger on until late 2019. I don't like feeling you might have a point. |

This year my wife is on track to earn almost double what I earn - and I do pretty good. Sounds like y’all need some highly educated, strong independent women. It’s a lot easier to get where you want to go if you have two of you working together as a team.
You are also a leftie. It's as expected. ...or luckier with women? (same as above)
That makes you a dinky (dual income, no kids yet). Wait, do we know this? Cause if no kids, then divorce is less lucrative. If she earns more than him, divorce could turn into a financial nightmare for her. |

Not to be a sexist dick, but the ladies should be kept unaware of crypto holdings. It allows easier thinking in times of trouble. If really, really necessary, one could sell what's needed and magically come up with the money when it's needed.
QFT Chicks are good at spending money not managing it. I respectfully disagree. A woman wort her salt is indeed able to save money, just like a man - maybe with different patterns and occasional "slips", but in the same ballpark if not even better. Now I'm talking from a statistical point of view, so there are bound to be outliers, exceptions and everything, but in my experience the issue with the average woman is risk aversion. Women do have a long term perspective - and they'd better have a good one, since they are less "spendable" as time takes its toll - but they tend to be much more conservative than men. So I can't imagine the average woman buying at 200 and not selling at 1000. |

This doesn't feel painful what's painful is the wife making me sell for the down payment on a home and soon. I'm going to lose out big. sell your wive. Not your Bitcoins. She just cost ya  She keeps telling me ‘bitcoin is finished, it must be over, you should have cashed out, we’ll never get another chance like that’. Really, you should shove stg in her mouth to shut her up. never forget we are BTC-gentleman always with respect for our lady's ...... to come up with magical MONEY is a good one , but my lady hodl's as well so i'm fine when it comes to BTC You're lucky to have a hodling lady. Anyway, I like your style  |

No pain, no gain.
This doesn't feel painful what's painful is the wife making me sell for the down payment on a home and soon. I'm going to lose out big. understadble ,you would like to delay the house buying a bit for sure, but women stays women ,nothing to do about that Personally I’d wait until mid 2021. I’d rent a couple more years & then buy the house outright in bitcoin. Everybody has different circumstances though. Right into the next housing bubble burst ... That would be nice timing haha bubble burst and BTC ATH , what a moment would that be ....... if possible i would wait to but i know if the girl/wife wants it ..... than it has to go fast and no time for logic Ain't that the truth about the logic  Not to be a sexist dick, but the ladies should be kept unaware of crypto holdings. It allows easier thinking in times of trouble. If really, really necessary, one could sell what's needed and magically come up with the money when it's needed. |

At the moment, the wisest thing to do IMO is to stay market neutral (basically: flat or hedged). A bit more suffering, my friends. Not sure it's really going to be late 2018/early 2019, but the rewards will be handsome.

Well, if Jihan and friends have their way, BCH will never have the most accumulated SHA256 work. They are hinting around that they want to decrease the block times to 1 minute and perhaps implement POS. He's got plenty of hashpower on hand. It's only natural he'd be better off allocating as large a fraction as possible to the more valuable coin. Also, POS can be a very good thing. For those that hold the absolute majority of tokens, at least. |

Really I wouldn't expect that from you. Bcash was so obviously being propped up by Bitmain, Roger and Craig that I expected nothing to come from it once Bitmain stopped their losses.
I don't much give a damnn what Bitmain, Roger, and Craig do.* For my part, BCH has the properties that made bitcoin great to begin with. Scaling in a logical fashion, and free of the Segwit virus. From my perspective, it is simply technically better than BTC. Hopefully, the world will awaken to this. * Well, I hope they keep mining it. Though, the DAA allows for drops in hashpower to be relative non events.** ** Unlike BTC, which lacks this safeguard. I for one much prefer the virus of segwit rather than the cancer or Jihan and Roger. I wouldn't make debatable transaction methods a hill to die on especially with leaders like that. They are not leaders, so much as fellow travelers. They each likely own several times the BTC that you own as well. Does this mean you are going to abandon BTC? Didn't think so. Some consistency, please. Here's one of your deft rhetorical tricks. You see, it's not about how much BTC or BCH some guys have. It's more about the BTC/BCH ratio. Or the history behind. edit: Kingcolex wasn't tricked, either. He beat me to it. |

@Hairy - I didn't have the guts to gamble even 10% of my play money by shorting Eth, even if I value your hunches. When I get a fit and try to day trade, I'm always late, so it's a "control the losses" kind of game. Not entertaining at all for me.
Good thing, it went up the last few days. Lots of whales in that pond, I barley got out with my skin last time I tried that. Lol took 4 months and I had to keep everything locked up during the BCH split so I got no free coins. Lesson learned. I see. So once again I was late indeed. Lesson learned, here too ;-) Nice of you to tell me about that: I haven't even followed ETH so closely after chickening out of daytarding. Closely watching something I refrained from trading is a sure recipe for either bad blood or some afterthought with losses. I have done small amounts of day trading and just lose my ass most of the time. I just don't stick with it or refuse to lose a bit in case I get screwed on a spike or dip and then just end up holding. More of us here than I thought |

Hahaha, this is so me! +1 merit  So I'm not alone! Feels good. And thanks for the merit He's a pretty good contrarian indicator indeed. Lows and more lows on the SOMA horizon. And highs and more highs. All within a 1.5k-2k$ spread. (SOMA = I've got no clue, don't heed my dreams). |

I find it appropriate that the comparison is between Ethereum, a scammy shitcoin, and overpriced low-quality Apple garbage. Fitting.  Ha! +1 WOsMerit (as if you need any). |

Still sideways. At a slightly higher level, and possibly with slightly wider swings, but still sideways.
As if it's not the weekend already. Sideways weekend? I don't buy it.
I'm kind of hoping for a swing - either up or down. It doesn't matter much since it will be reversed by Tuesday.
A bit more wait and see.

Slides and ramps. Barts with lower lows. Grind your teeth, gentlemen, and hold tight.
Note: I have trouble spelling "hold", in all contexts. I'm afraid I'll give away a big clue to some keen observer one fine day.
