I'm so shocked, I've never pulled a profit on leverage like this before

Yeah I'm tempted to take some profit here. Not bad going for just over 24 hours work.



cashing out to fiat huh? ... just another bear after all.

so if I want troll you I just post here and you will see?
Yes, but you'll have to wait your turn, the line starts over there.

Let me get this.

Stolfi, do yourself a favor and post an address. We'll send you a couple of bits. You will look too silly (to yourself and others) if you end up not getting any BTC before the masses do.

it's ok, if he helps me solve this problem I've got a good sized wedge heading his way ....

make you a deal, expand as a summation series and give me a closed form expression for the 3rd term (coefficient for x^3) and I'll reveal all ...

It can be written as

f(x) = A \prod_{m=1}^\oo (1 - \frac{4z^2}{(4m-1)^2})

where z = x/\pi - 1/2, and

A = \prod_{m=1}^\oo \frac{(4m-1)^2}{4m(4m-2)}

That is an even function of z.  Therefore, the the coefficient of (x-\pi/2)^3 in the Taylor series around \pi/2 is zero.

Is that close enough?  Grin

Jorge: thanks for this, it really is an interesting approach. It shifts the curve by pi/2, and normalises (by A) creating a normalised even function.

You might be interested to know the following:

A = f(pi/2) = ([Gamma(1/4)]^2)/(2.pi.sqrt(pi)) = [3.3.7.7.11.11.15.15.....]/[2.4.6.8.10.12.14.16]  ; where Gamma() is the gamma function

and

f(-pi/2) = (4.sqrt(pi))/([Gamma(1/4)]^2) = [1.5.5.9.9.13.13.....]/[2.4.6.8.10.12.14.....]

and

f(pi/2).f(-pi/2) = [1.3.3.5.5.7.7.9.9.11.11.15.15....]/[2.2.4.4.6.6.8.8.10.10.12.12.14.14.16....] = 2/pi

Is it just me or does this thread keep scrolling to some random position when you click the next page? Seems to have been doing it since the forum went down

just you.

Maybe you shouldn't have gotten so negative on bitcoin?

Negative? I think you got the wrong guy, I'm still hodling thousands Grin

heheh i know, jk.

nice approach, but no, not close enough. Pretty sure it is not zero. (I don't know what it is btw).

First term is (ln 2)/pi

Think markets got some tanking before it recovers to a nice price again and continue to go up. $170s last week and in $240s now could go anyway up or down. Coinbase thing tho is interesting. Will find out what happens with that in 15 hours or less to see if anything will really happen with the new exchange that is coming out and seeing how prices will go.

no, i think the bottom is in.

the CB exchange is a long term thing, not a one off.  it changes the liquidity dynamic significantly and should boost prices and narrow spreads.

I concur. Feels like a proper hard bottom - high volume capitulation. The best thing is we are still carrying nearly 20,000 shorts. A move up could be epic from here.

... unless there is no intention to cover those shorts, i.e. the coins are gone and at some point int he future when the heat comes on the exchange just declares force majeur.

"... expand as a summation series ..."

=3 + x/π - x/2π + x/3π ...

?

[edit]
..wait, shit.

You want me to (f'''(a)/3!)*(x-a)^3  ?

 Sad

something like that but more difficult .... probably not the place for it here ... PM sent.

Stamp be going crazy.

EDIT: wtf is going on over there!

wall st. has arrived!!! ...

yawn ( tell us something we don't know, who do they think has been fucking with the price for the last 6 months? bitpesa?)

1+(x/3π)?

that's the 3rd term for the product series ... "... expand as a summation series ..."

free or worthless? what's the catch?

“To have an organized exchange that has the backing of thoughtful venture capitalists and investors addresses one of the main problems with bitcoin: its extreme volatility,"

"... an organized exchange ..." it has a ring to it, like organised crime.

Wall st. is the biggest mafioso protection racket on the planet, it is right and fitting they should be embracing a decentralised anarchic technology like bitcoin.

Phase I complete : get them to play on our turf.

“To have an organized exchange that has the backing of thoughtful venture capitalists and investors addresses one of the main problems with bitcoin: its extreme volatility,"

An era has come to an end traders. Bitcoin will now be predictable and boring Cheesy

... yeah, until wall st gets hacked.

Could this be some kind of promotional probe they're going to send to the moon with a BTC logo? Is that financially viable these days? That'd be a let down. If it's just some promotional bullshit with no effect on the interoperability of Bitcoin here on Earth I'll not be impressed.

they could be putting an operational server on the moon, moon coinbase. Anyone choosing to use that server would not be bound by overly burdensome bureaucratic jurisdictional concerns surrounding the broken modern fiat system, KYC/AML etc.

The interesting thing about professional trolls is that they help devs and investors think through every possible weakness and pitfall of the system, from the obvious to the far-fetched. So they too end up contributing.

For everything else there is the ignore button.   

... there's constructive criticism and then there's the barrage of baseless negativity for no other reason than to scare off noobs who come to read the most popular threads.

In the great arc of monetary history the trolls are inconsequential but who likes to live in a neighbourhood covered in graffitti and rubbish?

Also by default they are basically evil people because of the vile fiat debt-slave system that they are upholding. Evil needs nothing else than good men to do nothing ... get rid of these guys.

I ain't gonna kill myself. I'm here to help you not get ruined by this pump and dump replaceable currency. You need me more than you think.

I wonder if the Linux foundation lets people who are rabidly against Linux rail incessantly against Linux on the main Linux forum?

And what do theymos and the bitcointalk moderators have to gain by allowing such anti-social behaviour here?

This is not a free speech issue, it is the same as the anti-social drunk who shows up in your club and starts abusing the clients, kicking tables and chairs around and defacing the walls warning people not to come back here ... why do we allow these people to stay here??

No digital currency will soon dislodge the dollar, but bitcoin is much more than a currency. It is a radically new, decentralized system for managing the way societies exchange value. It is, quite simply, one of the most powerful innovations in finance in 500 years.

think wall st. is here yet trolltards?
