So I'm heading off to thailand fully paid for by the free coins tomorrow, and I need a new suitcase. I'm thinking pink for easy visibility, but maybe an ugly yellow would work too. Thoughts?
Yeah... Why would someone go to Thailand instead of Las Vegas? The fuck would I do in vegas except go broke? Thailand is cheap, is not FUCKING COLD and has some of the best food in the world. Also, bargirls. Besides the obvious, I'm very curious to see if I can make enough money trading bitcoin with the locals to pay for the stay. If so, why would I not live in a high quality hotel in a great country instead of a far more expensive apartment in a frozen wasteland? Now you can buy residency in Thailand for 5-10 years or longer. I'm willing to bet other countries in Asia start to follow suit. http://uk.businessinsider.com/you-can-buy-elite-residency-in-thailand-for-60000-2017-4

Once again It's paid to go the opposite direction of the masses. Kept all my BTC on exchange for the fork and traded the crap out of 2800-3125 volatility last night. Now, more $ and more BTC. I think we will go up a bit further before seeing a bigger correction. Much harder to pick a top in ATH territory. Now that everyone is expecting a correction, maybe only up from here for the next weeks?

So that very fast $100 drop was aimed at stop orders before going higher or was it testing market depth for a bigger one? Maybe we will get both in a short time frame.

Everywhere I read its recommended to withdraw coins from exchanges until the dust settles sometime after Aug.1st. That would create very thin pools everywhere without the option to transfer back and prices could move any direction much easier. The skeptic in me wonders if it might be better to put my coins on an exchange and perhaps just ignore the fork drama. BTC seems to have a tendency to go the opposite direction of the masses.
There are 2 options. 1. The price goes down. This means that the percentage of bitcoin that you can acquire is greater! 2. The price goes up. In this scenario the percentage of bitcoin that you can acquire diminishes, but the amount of fiat you can trade it for is greater. Assuming you care only for the coin and not fiat. The demand will still be there, and you will be out of its way with u'r dead weight corpse dragging 'fake' trade. And any of those 2 scenarios would help you profit. So?? Dead weight corpse dragging fake trade? Haha, didn't intend to put your knickers in a twist. I don't claim to know what will happen but being one who's gone against the crowd most of my life has worked out well for me so far. Best of luck to you sir.

How does this equal bcc gaining value or you gaining value from going against the crowd (or with the crowd)? I'm not concerned about a BCC value and in fact I was never here for BCC in the first place. I would only be concerned with BCC value if I follow my greed to get MORE. Really, I'd never even heard of BCC before last week. I'm suggesting to consider ignoring the "possible fork" or simply taking advantage of the likely volatility that would arise from thin pools where transactions are halted. You seem like a smart individual but personally I can't bear to read much of what you write. Seems trollish to me, and where the hell did you come from anyway? No offence intended, just suspicious timing to enter WO with so much to argue about.

1500 BTC wall on stamp about to get met.

So an already thin market will be paper thin on the 1st. What could possibly happen.
|
|

Yes, it could be sold down to very little but I try not to underestimate this move. You saw how ETH wanted to become the new bitcoin. With any type of real implementation, it could have worked.

I suspect a lot of people will send btc to kraken for the bcc and the option to trade immediately. I wouldn't be surprised to see some holders. Greed check

Speculation on electricity costs vs. value:
Lets say mining costs (electricity costs) significantly decreased in the next decade or even became free. Would this pull the value out of bitcoin's POW? Or perhaps more nodes could run and value would be placed more on the security of the network.
Surely decreased energy costs would be a global change and difficult to predict.

The damage is already done, there will be now 42 million bitcoins, exchanges and merchants are already scrambling to deal with it. That would also mean I now have twice as many bitcoins. Exchanges can dump bcc with insane volume. So it is just a dead altcoin. And if you held both? Any risk in that?

Personally I prefer Bitcoin due to the fact I can travel with it and not be questioned by customs when I cross boarders. (I travel quite a lot) Try taking gold bars through customs x-ray and you'll likely have them confiscated. Bitcoin circumnavigates that BS. I suspect gold shops in Asia will be the first ones to start exchanging XBT. No doubt gold and silver have their place, just saying, you failed to note the areas where Bitcoin is superior and the reason it exists in the first place.

Must be a showman or maybe he confused 5000 with 500.000 He thinks the real target is 3 million using some special math analysis, so 500k is conservative in his mind. What appears to be a win/win gamble is most likely a sure lose. Since he's only accepting USD as payment, I suspect very few people will catch that dagger if it happens.

We finally got the big bounce that was anticipated from the 1800's. Market is not looking so comfortable this morning to go full bull. I'm anticipating more downwards movements by next weekend. Seems we might play in the 1800-2100 range for awhile. While I picked the correct bottom to buy, I'm still weak handed and sold much too early.
|
|
|
I was expecting a bigger bounce from 1800s, oh well, if we fall soon through here I'm thinking the bottom is lower than 1500.
