Merit is going to be unfairly biased towards bulls, even if the bears are posting fantastic bear charts analysis with accurate predictions and the bulls are spamming about trains and insulting bears.

Pop quiz: Convince an average low/middle class fiat-loving law-abiding person who doesnt believe in a failing or fraudlent banking system that they should use bitcoin, without talking about its price or making profit by trading it. Present what benefits they will reap by using bitcoin as opposed to banks, VISA, google pay, venmo, etc. Anything besides capital gain?
You are presenting false parameters in your shilling argument, tera beara... bitcoin is not merely meant to serve as a payment system, even though it may well accomplish such common use in that direction in the future, perhaps, but not necessarily in order to still have value and utility. Yeah, if you create your own strawman, then you can more easily make some dumb -ass pie in the sky argument, that is not connected with reality. If you are saying there are false parameters, you must be admitting bitcoin is only for overthrowing the fed, committing crimes, and/or making a profit... (or overthrowing the fed so you dont have to taxes on the profits) Which of those payment methods are you in control of all your own money? Gpay, VISA, Venmo: all built on top of the banking infrastructure, who hold your money and issue you IOUs. Replace banks with bitcoin, which is in your control. What percentage of people ever have issues with control of their bank account? (mostly criminals) What percentage of bitcoiners get their wallets hacked or coins lost? What percentage of bitcoiners will get their wallets hacked or coins lost when they are average people? Does the average person even have anything to lose? It's mostly just in and out paycheck to paycheck |

The strange part about all this is that the possibility to continue to another ATH is still not completely off the chart and could fit the previous pattern..
What would the timeframe for an ATH be though? It would have to occur within a couple weeks. It doesnt look like this is happening... |

Anyone use Genesis Trading?
I do. Minimum buy/sell of $75k though. I like that. That means much more dedicated support for me instead having to wait behind 1,000,000 people with $100 on bitstamp/coinbase. |

I left gox months before the collapse to margin trade on finex. Then I left finex days before it got hacked. Im really lucky (except the part where I obtained a neurological illness)

Haha fuck. Just saw the candle to 20,000 euros on Kraken on 13 January for BTC/Euro. Fat fingers or short squeeze?!
That candle had no volume - so it was some kind of error. We were also at 6 cents usd on coinbase in april. Have you had filled trades reversed? Assholes at BFX have done that to me. Obviously decided I got too good a deal. Happened to me on Mtgox... |

I think you're using the verb pump wrong. You mean to use the word rise. Pump means that an entity is falsely inflating the price with advertising.

How high will the BTC/USD price go at Bitfinex when all people will try to buy Bitcoin in order to get their funds off the exchange? This could provide us with a crazy BTC/USD price rise (at least temporarily) if this is indeed the end of Bitfinex and Tether. I remember that some people floated the theory that parts of the recent Litecoin price run-up where caused by people, who wanted to withdraw from exchanges in a reasonable timeframe during the recent Bitcoin network congestion and therefore bought LTC with their funds. This encouraged new investors, who saw the LTC/USD price gains and piled their funds into Litecoin, which also increased media coverage, which resulted in even more investors. This could get really crazy if this is indeed the end of Tether. Never a dull day in Bitcoin land  Wouldn't ETH be better than LTC for that? I wonder if that's why ETH is still rising now. |
