if you are scared from BAKKT impact on market, then brace for more: Bakkt to Launch Options on Its Bitcoin Futures Dec. 9Bakkt announced Thursday that it would “launch the first regulated options contract for bitcoin futures,” adding a new product to its current slate of physically-settled bitcoin futures contracts. CEO Kelly Loeffler said in a Medium post that the contracts were built in response to customer feedback, and that ICE Futures US self-certified the contract through the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC).
I am afraid time has come to write the option equivalen to my Everything you wanted to know about BTC futures but were afraid to ask! post. Gigantic work, but has to be done. Options for bitcoin FUTURES, again. How about plain old options? I wonder why they're approaching it this way. |

Let's root for fillippone! The WO gang can't be ignored. |

I support fillippone's request. As a participant, he started from nothing and gained respect with his careful and well researched posts. As a merit giver, I've always seen him give to worthy posts. As for being "somewhat established", I have little doubt he is!

Indeed, my short is gone for now. Thanks for the satoshis  Willing to reopen if we see 7.6-7.7, but wary of the 8k's that might be behind the corner ( that corner, not this now corner). |

A V-shaped bottom spotted on short timescales (minutes). It could mean anything, including a quick recovery.

say that everything is still ok.
No one ever said that the road to the new ATH would be a piece of cake. We're just experiencing growing pains, and probably some fuckery (the expiring futures are as good a reason as any). Heavy regulation can't come down too hard if some of the powers that be are deep in it. And some are. Everything is still OK. |

They ain't gonna liquidate ME until they push her well under 4k  |
|
|
|

Disclosure: Reduced my short to a small fraction of what it was. I hope in a rebound to rebuild it higher with tight stops. The long is in very bad shape, but liquidation got quite a bit further away with this oxygen intake.

pray for the ponzi.
shorts closing is the only buy support i see.
You are free to go and screw yourself. Come back in a year or so. Thank you. |

Big bounce up. It seems like the support around 7.9k is still a thing.

I'm suddenly getting the fear... that we may possibly be dealing with a BearWhale here.
Bear is allegedly edible, and I'm in for kujira sashimi any day. Let'em come. (says the guy who still has a nice short open) |

Whatever. You do have perfect Erowid accent. |

Baudelaire used to ingest black hash with a 10-20% thc content, not pure oil or extract.
3 g of oil or extract can probably flatline an elephant  The classic edible experience;
T+0:00 subject ingests recommended dose
T+0:30 no effects felt
T+1:00 still nothing, did I get ripped off?
T+1:30 this shit is bunk, WTF, subject eats remaining product
T+14:00 still curled in fetal position behind freezer in the garage... DEAR GOD MAKE IT STOP!!!
Seems like jojo has some interesting experiences under his belt too  Lol...this reminds me of my juvenile experience with lsd blotters I call myself lucky - never had such from L or other psychs. Just curious: how much are we talking about? |

I would like to award some WOsMerit, given my sad null with old boring plain merits. I've been itching for a while, and restraining myself, but when it's too much it's too much. Let's hear it for V8 with his unusually explicit and plain bullish stand! Yeah they won't be able to suppress the price much longer.
People are realising it's freedom-money.
We ain't seen nothing yet.
+1 Let's hear it for vapourminer with his stylish SWIMming! "A friend of mine" SWIM is a busy person. +1 Let's hear it for LFC with his cabbage and social service warnings! Took THC Cannabis Oil yesterday & spent most of the day like a cabbage,
+2 Let's hear it for Lambie with his dutiful suggestions about spending scam money or legit btc hodler profits. +1 |

Took THC Cannabis Oil yesterday & spent most of the day like a cabbage, fuck that is some weird shit man. Never again! Still feel weird now. Observing sub 8k  Like a cabbage. I'll steal this!  Oral route is a wild thing. It takes a little more to get thresholds effects, but once that line is passed, you're in for a looooong ride. There are a few people who actually enjoy that, but at least in the sample population of my stoner friends, it's a definite minority. Worse than psychs IME. Sounds good I only see CBD which seems to undermine the point of it for me
What is wrong with CBD on its own ? I've learned to enjoy the "body-relaxing" qualities, that leave me clear-headed. I’m sure CBD is fine. The THC oil is like some kind of mushroom or acid trip, never ingesting it again man. I have 5 bottles though, might use it on my skin or in the bath or something. You could probably also use it to make your own edibles (depending on what exactly your oil contains). Concentrates make for fairly easy pinpoint dosing. Yes! A few drops in a latte or something require little or no cooking and can give a humanly bearable stone for only a few hours. On the other hand, Baudelaire used to gulp down like 3 grams of the good stuff and then off to the theater. They didn't have Marvel back then, but I suspect it all looked like Spiderman 14: The Vortex to them. 72 hours straight could easily break a lesser spirit. |

Instead of getting margin called.
Have small amount of stops before the margin call. Your margin call price will get lower and have a stop before that call. (cross leverage)
Your position will be underwater and need a price above your oginal entry but better than losing it all.
Hopium is only above $9000
Adding to your longs isn't a good idea in this scenario.
Try to stay alive
Everything under $9k is a potential bull trap.
Above $9k and you have to analyze the market & adjust your stops.
Reduce or add but with multiple stops
Well said. And, I should add, make the stops redundant - the last two should go over what's needed with the "close only" flag set. Just in case, you know. When turmoil and panic ensue, price jumps can be badly discontinuous. At least your take about "breathing stops", as I call them, is IMO golden. Your analysis of current prices hits a fair match with what my SOMA tools report. Technicals apart, given the wimpy volume, 9k retest is entirely possible - for example, in the scenario where this is just a slow, deep "shake down" in a double "shake down, shake up" move or, even better, in a "shake down, move up (front run the halving)". Note I'm saying nothing about your beliefs, "religion" or attitude, which might be seen as crappy and will be promptly swatted should the need arise. |

Don't know about pure nicotine, but i guess it's easier to get away from it than from tobacco with its dozens or hundreds of secret additives.
Nicotine is more or less like caffeine. If you can't drink your usual cup of coffee or tea, you may get a headache and be a little grumpy. After a while these "withdrawal symptoms" will disappear. What makes cigarette withdrawal so difficult is definitely contained in the thousands of additives found in cigarettes today. One of them might be monoamine oxidase inhibitors, I do not know if they are naturally present in tobacco, but if someone responds to them and want to stop smoking, it could make it very difficult. Both Nicotiana tabacum (common tobacco) and Nicotiana rustica (the more poisonous wild variety, often used by the heathens in their shamanic ceremonies) contain several alkaloids besides nicotine, which is the main addiction factor. Just think of all the people who give up cigs for vapes. They manage on nicotine only. Some of the alkaloids in Nicotianas have significant MAOI effect. |
