My bot loves sideways!  > 1% in less than a week makes me happy Smiley

Your bot sounds pretty interesting. He doesn't brag too loud, but sounds successful.

I'd love to have a bitcoinica bot.

He's successful when we go sideways.  He could be successful on bigger moves too if I had more funds, but if he runs out of funds in one direction he's not so happy.

you guys should hope my subscription service takes off so i can take my views private away from this public forum.  there's nothing that heats up ppls ire more than an anti gold/silver thread i've found.
That's because gold/silver crowd care, many of them think investing in the metals is like building an escape bridge, they don't want to see it being destroyed.

I still find it hard to comprehend how a gold/silver investor can change his investment strategy in such a drastic way -- going from long to short -- seemingly purely based on some  superficial reasons.

I have to ask, what prompted you investing in gold/silver between 2005~2007? I am sure it was not technical, because EW master Mr. Prechter has always been very bearish on gold ever since it crossed $450/oz mark.

If you based on your decision on fundamentals, what were they? and what have changed?

There is more to technical analysis than Elliot Waves...

I am going to be a pompous rich ass:

113 BTC is nothing to me. I don't need to hedge that.

If it's nothing, then surely you don't mind sending me some coins Smiley

i said to short gold 9d before the top here.  how is that "far too early"?:  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=35956.0

Considering the massive volatility and the fact gold was no where near the top at the time, I have to say yes. It didn't drop back down until September. So it was too early to short.

9 days early in a 11 yr bull mkt for gold and thats a bad call?  really?

You'll receive praise from me if and only if the bull market for gold actually ends and gold crashes significantly as you state it will. It hasn't happened yet. We will see in hindsight. What we've seen so far is massive volatility and no crash that would have made gold an excellent short trade from the 9th of August.

Maybe it turns out you have been over 7+ months late for this crash of yours? Would you like to give a time span for your prediction gold will crash? Also some rough price target instead of vague terms would put no one in confusion. I seem to remember you were expecting gold to go below $1000? My memory is terrible, sorry.

It takes a long time to turn a tanker.  The gold market is the largest tanker one can try to ride.

You don't think 620 its all time high, is marching on? 

What do you need to think its marching on then? lol

To stay there, not fall sharply afterwards.

tell me that you didn't capitulate and sell your SPXU.

Still long SPXU, and interested in a subscription service.  2.5 BTC a month would be affordable for me.  If nothing else, I'd drop my waveaddict subscription for yours.  Bitcoin is starting to get boring, and I've got to do something with my retirement account anyway.

Starting to think it's an order from bitcoinica.com it would make sense to buy a hugh order and no longer pay any fees on mtgox especially when 4.60 could be the new 2.

Right, because it somehow makes sense to pay extra fees on a $40000 order....

So there you have it.
30.1 LTCs will get you a 5 pc stick/pack of gum.

Some things went right, some mistakes were made.

notme pls PM me your details.

I PM'd my address a few days ago, but I haven't received your litecoin address.  I'll pay up as soon as you give me an address.
6133  Economy / Speculation / Re: The Great Wall of March 26 on: March 27, 2012, 04:36:47 PM
the last time we had a wall of this size and determination was at $2.  i was a part of that.  i think we have a new bottom.

The $2 walls were a much larger portion of the market.  MtGoxLive's graph showed 50K BTC on the bid wall and 25K BTC in other bids... this time it's 45K BTC on the bid wall and 115K BTC in other bids.




yes but the # of USD's is larger.

there's no denying this is bullish.  i've said $4 is the new $2 psychologically.  you're free to disagree but this bid has been put front and center @ $4.60.  someone wants IN in a big way.

Or that's what they want people to think so they can drop the wall and squeeze the longs.  Don't be so sure you know another's motive.  Like Proudhon said, seen it before.

I don't know who's right, and maybe it is still up in the air for the person who placed the wall.  He/She could be waiting to see how the market handles the threat to know what the best way to take it is.

The example you listed is on the verge of being manipulative IMO, but I will probably only act on the most blatant cases.

Great... Just like America where everything is against the rules and those with power get to choose who to enforce those rules on.

First off, my thread was sarcastically meant. Second, I don’t see any problem with it even if it were serious, as it’s just an opinion. Third, I’ve started moderating only recently.

Oh, so it's ok if YOU are sarcastic, but if we are, you retain the right to censor us?

GTFO

I'll be vulnerable for you:

I am seriously considering what you have to say but it ends at an empty wall: What does this man want me to do and why?

Is he looking out for my happiness or does he want me to serve his whims? I am already happy, my current ways have developed great bonds and an enjoyable life. If you want me to serve you or your indirect goals, I can only laugh.

It seems the alternative you propose is really self-sacrifice: Loving people outside of self-interest. What a terrible life to live, loving and giving to people with no happiness, haha.

It is counter-intuitive, but you have to give up self-interest to obtain lasting happiness.  Otherwise, you only have "fair-weather" friends.  I live, love, and give with no guarantee of happiness.  In my experience, it comes back to me.  It's a hard step to take because it requires faith that there is some force that will make it work out.  It doesn't matter whether you call that force "God" or the "Law of Attraction" or whatever.  The important part is learning to trust yourself enough to take a leap.  Unless you already have faith, you have to trust that even if the universe fails you and lets you fall flat, you will be able to pick yourself back up.

I want nothing from you, I'm merely attempting to help a fellow citizen of earth by sharing what I've learned.  I'm singling you out, because I see similarities between your current state of mind, and a state of mind that used to be my experience.  Because I can give with no expectation of return, I don't have to want anything from you in order to share.

Or maybe I'm delusional and seeking validation.  That's up to you to decide, but I can tell you I've been delusional, and where I am now is nothing like where I was then.

Life is hard to "get".  There are no shortcuts.  Careful study of history and sacred writings will slowly reveal what you need to know, but the minute you start to think you have all the answers, you need to recheck your assumptions.

In addition to the yoga sutras, I can recommend anything by Chogyam Trungpa (especially "Shambhala" and "Training the Mind"), and Hofstadter's Godel, Escher, Bach.
6136  Other / Politics & Society / Re: People wonder why I don't take their advice. on: March 26, 2012, 01:08:18 AM
I love people because I want to. I love people selfishly with no expectation or sense of entitlement. I am not obligated to serve anyone and nobody is obligated to serve me.

This isn't a bad thing. It's liberation.

One final time: check yourself before you wreck yourself.  Seriously, you sound like a recording of me 5 years ago.  Maybe I'm wrong.  Or maybe I'm right, but I know you won't listen.  Either way, I'm done.  Good luck.

Just tried to tip someone and I have gotten no message or confirmation if it worked. Does the first hashtag in the tipping message have to be #BTCTIP? Wouldn't it be better to require mentioning the @btctip username instead to remove ambiguity and help spread the message about the service?

Edit: Have just tried a second time and still nothing indicating whether or not it has succeeded. Not looking good.

Go to btctip.com and login.

But do they need 96GB of RAM and 32 processor cores with hyper-threading? How busy does MtGox actually get?

Busy enough that their SocketIO lags.  But, based on the errors we've seen in the past, this could easily be poor coding/environment setup rather than inadequate hardware.
