Who cares about permatard sub-$200 fantasies?

The topic is amassing as many coins as possible, as cheaply and easily as possible.

They recently raised the rate from 5% to 7.5% so it's getting less affordable.

I always justified the 5% by saving the hassle and expense of transferring money from my bank to the exchange, the (albeit small) exchange fees, and the time wasted on hassling with the banking and transfer process. Often the money saved by not waiting a week for an exchange deposit more than pays the fee. ATMs are fast, easy and very suitable for small (less than 3 coins) purchases. I still will use an exchange for larger buys.

I also treat part of the fee as an insurance premium against having to leave money (Bitcoin or fiat) on an exchange, exposed to the internet. I lost 50 bitcoins at MtGox. Once bitten, twice shy. Offline paper wallets FTW.

An added bonus is that the ATM coins are anonymous (or should I say pseudonymous?) at least until you crack the paper wallets and expose the coins to the 'net. This is probably worth a few points to many people.

Good morning Bitcoinland.

Just got back from buying my first few coins after weeks of sideways motion.

Last night's little dip happened minutes after my neighborhood BTC ATM closed for the night and I thought I'd missed out on the first decent buying opportunity since April. When I woke up and saw it had barely rebounded $2 overnight, I jumped at the chance.

Now I really need that coffee. Mmmm...

Is that TA or T&A?

Good morning Bitcoinland.

Ho hum flat.

Still in $240s though.

Caffeine do yo stuff.

Not as cheap as 2 weeks ago, not as cheap as 4 months ago, and not nearly as cheap as 3 years ago.

Cheaper than last year though, for what that's worth.

 

Good morning Bitcoinland.

Nothing much doing over the weekend I see. Still in the $240s, except for a couple of feeble attempts to break support at $240.

Next serious resistance seems to be around $260. Will we pass $250 in the next few days?

Mmmm... (beverage whose mention seems to bug some people).

I'm not a TA cultist so I tend to to take most TA with a grain of salt but this jumped out at me.



Doesn't this look like a classic flagpole and pennant? Isn't that supposed to be bullish?

Good afternoon Bitcoinland.

It figures that the one day I sleep in after staying up too late is the day it rallies when I'm usually having my morning (crack-of-noon) coffee.

After almost a month of being stuck in the $220-$240 range it may have finally broken free.

Hope everyone stocked up while the price was down. The chances of it going below $220 are getting slimmer and slimmer.

It's still to early to post rocket trains, but the trollbear GIFs are looking particularly foolish today.

Will it stay over $240 through the weekend? Time will tell.

For me it's like admitting defeat. I try to be tolerant of different views and use trolls as a source of entertainment, so I don't generally use the ignore function.

The only ones on my ignore list are MatTheTwat and the original Trollchop, and even then only after finally tiring of the same old boring trolling (every.fucking.day).

Not all the trolls on The List are lambsocks. Some are actually entertaining. Now if there was a lambsock-only list....

I'm seriously tempted to use The List...

Ka-ching. We've got a winner.

Sorry Ben, try again.

Good morning Bitcoinland.

Slight dip on pretty big volume I see. I also see it's more than halfway back.

It doesn't appear to want to leave the $230s for long.

Pot on. Mmmm...

Good morning Bitcoinland.

Still going sideways but it looks like it's coiling up for some kind of move, hopefully up.

I'd better not mention delicious morning beverages. I don't want to dull anyone's otherwise brighter day.  

You ignore Chartbuddy?

I consider Richy_T's bot to be perhaps the most valuable poster here.

To group it in with a bunch of trolls is unfair IMHO.

There was a fad?
 
I always thought Bitcoin was fairly obscure.

Well look who dropped in.  Hi Adam.

Is this a sign?

MMDA?

Expectation?

Some people use FUD as a general term for propaganda, not thinking about what the acronym stands for.

Obviously trying to influence people in a positive manner is neither fear, uncertainty nor despair.
