1  Economy / Speculation / Winklevoss COIN -- Will it even matter? And how much? on: November 03, 2014, 07:21:10 PM
This is seriously something I wonder.

Will it lead to an explosion of interest? Or are they simply too late to the party?

Will it have the effect of setting a price higher than the centralized exchanges (given the added value tied to the feeling of security found in trading through an ETF)? Or will it siphon up some of the buy volume from the exchanges as people invest in the Winklevis coins rather than buying new coins (i.e. is it, in effect, a giant dump of coins?)

Has it been a precipitating factor in the lack of demand, recently? Are people holding out to invest in BTC via the ETF so they are abstaining from playing in the market?

In essence, as a thought experiment, say they announce the ETF, tomorrow -- what do you think the price effect will be (not only direction, but amount and duration).

1-2-3... speculate folks. I'm interested in your views.
2  Economy / Speculation / New Ethereum Dumping!!!!! Watch Out!!!!! on: November 03, 2014, 02:18:03 AM

They made the move Saturday night. If history is any indicator, the dumping happens within 24-48 hours of them making this move. If nothing else, it is a gaggle of fresh coins hitting the market.

Now, does this make any sense at all? No. It isn't that many coins. Also, they are probably trading off exchange. But... every time they've done this s--- has hit the fan.
3  Economy / Speculation / Apple Pay -- A Reason to Expect the Worst on: November 02, 2014, 11:31:55 PM
http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2014-11-02/apple-pay-to-fuel-chatter-new-products-at-money-20-20.html

It's not that ApplePay is better than Bitcoin -- it's not. It's not that ApplePay directly competes -- it does not. It's that Apple has a tendency to absorb all of the oxygen of anything even within a dart's throw of it. Money 20/20 being centered on ApplePay rather than cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin is just one demonstration of how the show has moved on to the next fad.
4  Economy / Service Discussion / BITFINEX MALFUNCTIONING on: August 17, 2014, 11:45:36 PM
It says I have a tradable balance, but it won't let me short any more. It has been doing this for the past two hours. Finally, it started to let me put in short orders at a couple dollars above the market price. However, when it gets to that market price, the order disappears. I thought maybe it was because my tradable balance decreased when the price went up so I tried to do short sell orders above market price at a smaller amount -- they still disappeared the second the market came up to it.

WATCH THE F--- OUT!!!!!

I am a bit bearish, but I don't write things like this unless something is seriously awry. NOR have I ever made a topic before. I am kinda irritated. I would love to short at this price right now.
