I hope they know what they're doing. Most coins out there are not robust or professional enough to justify listing on a place that wants to be the gold standard.

Imagine if they had 100 million clients and a ton of institutions and all this Bcash shit had kicked off.

Funnily enough the one and only coin that does tick all the boxes, Bitcoin, is the one they hate the most and would prefer to go away.

Nothing but a slow accumulation. I haven't noticed any spikes on its way there. And of course many will be duplicates or bots.

I don't remember it ever being a paragon of intellectual rigour, but these days it seems more brain dead than ever. It's either memes or wilfully misinterpreted news most of the time.

The worst times for them are when absolutely nothing happens. There was a bit of that in the $6000-6500 phase but nothing like as hopeless as the $250 phase.

We're not there yet, but once the ultra dump is done it may sit at a price for what seems like forever. I guess that's when they have to introduce 1,000,000x leverage.

The only aspect of mining anyone should care about is how many actual coins miners possess and need to sell. I don't think anyone should be trading based on analysing mining.

Mining was designed to take care of itself. No one else needs to care about it. If the current crop of miners can't hack it they'll leave until some others come along who can hack it.  No one knows their costs, whether they're hedged, who's buying their coins or what their plans are. It doesn't matter.

Sounds like a recipe for utter disaster.

The Mycelium wallet does have a service named Coinapult locks in it that allowed you to convert to USD in wallet and then switch back seamlessly. I'm not sure whether it's still going and there've been some complaints about it.

Converting back and forth between USD also creates a tax liability in a few countries. As can shorting too.

There's no reason for them to speed it up. They have plenty more on their plate with hammering ICOs alone so they may as well take their time. They may also intend to learn a little more too. They've made repeated requests for opinions on the matter, not that it attracted much more than psychos and brain dead moon kids.

And once again this guy is on the money - https://twitter.com/jchervinsky/status/1072216015801585664

It's not looking promising, not that anyone should've expected anything else.

Not much idea about their technical merits or the murkiness or not of their origins, but Dash certainly know how to put themselves about.

They bribed Kraken to get a listing on there a long time ago, a move that'll have paid off in spades by now. They also managed to get themselves installed as the basis of the Petro, though I don't really think that's anything to be proud of.

I can't see the Venezuelan government allowing an outsider currency free reign but perhaps they've thrown even more money into the right pockets.

Many of them are. I've seen coins with a similar ticker to another coin that received some major news pump as well until it tails off when enough people realise. And most of it these days is bot driven. If one moron starts a run the bots may well pile in.

There absolutely are people here who've been driven batty by buying or selling at the wrong time, but certainly not anyone public.

Loads of people get married to their positions and refuse to believe they're wrong so get left behind with nothing.

One of the people that springs to mind was a poster named Matthecat who got into BTC to buy drugs at $10 and spent all of it. Then he came back and started trading and almost every move he made was the wrong one, plus he got hacked. Almost every single post was a stream of abuse laced with some lucidity. In the end he gave up and left.

I don't buy the professional fudster thing. The pathetic thing is that many people are willing to do it for free out of pure bitterness.

He might be staring at the bounteous bosoms of the hooker his auntie has laid on for him who has just emerged from his cake. Never judge by one single image.

That's a good call. At times like these there's no way I'd be dabbling in anywhere new or marginal. Even the glossiest places might go to the wall, let alone all the shitpits that have sprung up. I hope noobs have enough sense of the utterly wretched history of crypto services. Doubt it though.

I think everyone and everything was looking for a direction. Our special friend Craig provided it. Everyone else followed through. If the price had sat at $6500 until it suddenly took off again a couple of years later, that would not have been normal behaviour.

Before this fall many absolute shitcoins were still crazily high. Now we're finally seeing some actual purging.

Erm, how does the average investor make a fucking bean out of a stablecoin? It just sits there and does nothing. If you find yourself scalping it as it wavers against the dollar then that's a neat sign to get out of it and not look back.

That used to be the case when people had a heady two bubbles to choose from, 2011 and April 2013.

April was possibly Gox messing around.

I remember people preaching that mantra in 2014. Then it was pissed all over in early 2015.

Would you regard that as your money, or you and your wife's money?

If I were married I'd only be making bets with money that was unequivocally my own, and I wouldn't tell her indoors about them either.

The question of what form future fuckery will take intrigues me.

At some point, hopefully soon, the idea of doing it via another coin will be laughable and indeed it's very disappointing people are dim enough to follow it now.

There'll come a point where attempting the same thing will be like a flea trying to rugby tackle an elephant. It'll simply be ignored completely.

Only $884,000 for that particular one and it looks like a bit of $20 Iron Man merchandise.

I don't understand the watch thing myself, but I can appreciate the art and effort that goes into them, apart from the one in the link.

I'm high on life, baby. I haven't had any boozes in many, many years.

And there's nothing creepy about me. I'm as wholesome as Karen Carpenter (pre laxatives) baking Mom's Apple Pie on Christmas morning surrounded by singing elves.

It's a necessary phase, especially for something rising out of nothing. No one knows what it's worth so it stands to reason that the process for settling the value is going to be a rocky and violent road. People on it should make their peace with what they're letting themselves in for. No one's forcing anyone to be here.

The first man through the door is the one to get blasted. Everyone else gets to trample over his ruined corpse.

Agreed about the adoption. Not agree about death. It's looking better than at any other time in terms of what's underlying. And are you ever going to let go of this weird theory about kyc? The next level won't happen without it, or rather won't be permitted to happen.

Once BTC is boring alt pumps will be back. Look at factom recently. That's an echo of the olden days.
