Better to cut yourself on a falling knife than buy at the top. Which is what most people seem to do.

And in the ninth week, the candle turned GREEN
cAPSLOCK must be out of BTC   

Can you elaborate a little bit on that. How could one interpret that?

Wow, maybe it's just me (and I'm not a "trader" at all, just a simple hodler so don't take it as any real advice here) but this latest BTC run just seems SO much "too much too soon too fast" ... doesn't it?

A little birdie told me this'll peak out at around $6800-ish and then after the manic stooopid "free coinz it's forkin' Yo!" nonsense subsides, and the reality hangover sets in, we'll see yet another "crash" all the way back "down" to "only" about $4800 or so.

A "crash" to where it's still 5x on the starting point of the year, in other words. LOL.

As a hodler, I'll take that, just fine... thank you very much.

Anyway maybe worth a little side-play here to increase XMR stack a bit. Just feels SO much MORE obvious this time around, for some reason?? Hmmm...

This has got to be the biggest bubble on either side of a thousand years. Something will give eventually. But someone dumped 28,000 coins, like what, yesterday? I'm cautiously optimistic.

Well, really it seems that you were not making any point - because no one really should believe that anyone, such as me, is offended from some goofball comments on the interwebs.   

Regarding my "new exchanges", I attempted to register and get verified on both Kraken and Bittrex, and Kraken verified me quickly and Bittrex has gotten hung up on some algorithm in regards to my verification documents and their support is not responding to my ticket in which i request assistance.

So, for me, it is good, for now, to have a place to send some of my Bitfinex value (that is Kraken), and I might lighten up my exchange load a bit too.  Currently I have  about 30% of my total value on various exchanges.. including the about 8% of my value that is currently on Bitfinex (all dollars have been converted), and has to be moved before November 9.

YOU!  YOU did this!  You bought again, didn't you?!

  You think 8 red weekly candles isn't normal?  Where have you been?     Monero always drops on good news, and there is a lot of good news lately, that's all.

What was your point?  To lecture?  If I have a ledger nano s and a trezor, then seems like I would have a sufficient quantity of coins there, too, no?  Maybe I have some coins and other value on exchanges for trading?  How is a guy going to trade coins if he does not put some coins (and/or value) on exchanges...   You have no idea regarding my exposure and you are assuming and giving unsolicited advice.. was that your point? 

If your point was to share information about possible places to keep coins, then that was helpful.. but going on an unsolicited lecture still seems quite presumptuous to me and you do seem to be assuming facts that are not in evidence.  no?   

I've always thought there is a strong possibility the anonymous cryptonote author "Nicholas van Saberhagen" actually IS "Satoshi Nakamoto"

N.S. / S.N. for one thing, as an obvious intentional clue.

Second, Satoshi disappeared right around the time CN started.  And when he left, he said he was leaving to "pursue other things". It's not a huge stretch to consider that a redesign/reboot of his best idea would be what that was.

Very doubtful someone like him would just totally turn his back on what he'd already accomplished. It'd be very natural to want to start with a clean slate and design a "bitcoin 2.0" from the ground-up with no baggage of the 1.0 concept design.

Finally, the #1 and maybe ONLY, biggest obvious FLAW, in bitcoin's design intending to be "money" is that it isn't fully fungible.  Cryptonote (and thus, Monero) builds on the basic bitcoin design ideas to SOLVE that, and make the world's first crypto-currency that IS really "MONEY".

Satoshi never took any credit for cryptonote, of course, so this is all just wild speculation, and for more IF Hal Finney was Satoshi (or part of the team) and was diagnosed with his terminal illness at that time, he certainly would've been "thankful for today" when he started up Bytecoin (XMR precursor) even if maybe he erred a little bit on trying to structure it with the premine (to provide funds for his family after he was gone, maybe... something that Satoshi or the Satoshi Team did not do when they started up the BTC genesis block, of course.  Hal could be forgiven for that lapse in judgement at the time, and under the circumstances... I'd think.  Doesn't detract from his legacy or reputation IMHO at all...)

I have both the ledger nano s and the trezor and neither of those wallets support either ETC or Monero.

It was a star trek joke. Right off the cuff too. There has to be someone here who can appreciate. I thought you were my people.

Water damage doesn't sound too bad, have you attempted to recover some data?

Starting to feel shity exchanges are rather safe after all the boating accidents and machine washing Moneros:) I had a paper wallet gone with wind, and a few days ago i found it when i was packing to move homes once again:) so i actually have a few BTC that are not balls deep in alts. might throw it monero way.

Update: I'm BACK!!!

Big PROPS to "Cyrus" who responded very quickly and got my account reset for me tonight.

I was expecting to wait a week and/or have to maybe accept my account was lost... but he came thru with flying colors.

Excellent work... thanks.

And thanks to y'all for the support here too.
