FUD seems remarkably low key, so far.  I guess there's time yet.

By the way, hasn't Roach got his account back yet?

In times such as this, we could all enjoy some explanation on the power of precious metals - and especially silver. I'm sure the correction we're seeing was orchestrated by the Joos.

My thoughts exactly. So, where are the ones that are not? To my naive mind, ICOs look like a way to rake money without getting one's company ownership swayed as it would be with VC. I'm glad they're being regulated. Want capital? Gimme stocks, so I own (at least part of) what I paid you, so I can vote if I paid enough. You give me these sumthincoins and if (when) value goes to zero, we're good? Meaning YOU're good and I'm out of luck? No way.

That's a nice thought, except that you don't really own the stocks, nor part of the company. See my post here for details:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2098580.msg21161390#msg21161390

Uh. Some of the things you say are news to me. I don't mean I don't believe you. But... but surely if I own a certain percentage of the stock... surely I mean...  Huh I do get my say, right? Eh...? Right??  Sad (breaking into tears)... And I thought... MOMMYYYYYY!!! Bwaaa, waahh!!!  Cry

ICOS that are rip offs-  are rip offs...

What about ones that are not?

No one needs 100 million to start a company that has no legs...

The free market would have gotten there on its own- personally I would have liked to have seen it -I am sick that way.... but no! the regulators will step in (In China- USA and Europe) and regulate these ICOS
The market was being too slow for the taste of those in power. And for once I agree!

Most of these ICO spewing companies don't even need to use blockchain technology for their operation. It's just a way around the SEC or other similar institutions.

Sorry for the rant, nothing personal really. It's just that this thing with premined shitcoins really grinds my gears.

Buying dips as well. It feels like some bearwhale playing dumpy dumpy on low liquidity. Shaking the tree while banks are closed for the long weekend.

Jimbo must be tired of walking back and forth by now... Cheesy

Maybe you're too young to remember that there was a prohibition of exporting pgp tech out of the US, until it was abolished after it leaked anyway.
I do remember that. Crypto was treated as a weapon, so code couldn't be exported. But books could, so there were chapters full of code printed in OCR-friendly fonts.

It's hard to ban ideas.

Goldman Sachs dump started already? Or just a small correction from 4970 to 4600?

Correction in my opinion, you've been around long enough to know that retraces always follow significant upwards price surges. 

Yeah but seems like some people use the GS prediction to start panic selling. Could probably drop to 3.5 this time. Sad that those big players came into the game. Now they have controll over the price of bitcoin with simple predictions.
As time goes on, I think there will be fewer and fewer weak hands and more hardcore hodlers. It will get harder and harder to shake the tree for falling fruit.

Did Jimbo sleep in and lose another buying opportunity?
No way. I'm betting he's soon going to post about buying at a good price with extra-good commission!  Wink

It isn't, actually. It's still in the 0.120-0.135 BTC range, as yesterday and the day before.

Sorry.. I thought my girlfriend was calling me



I like your girlfriend. Not booby enough for next ATH, though. Pity.
On second thought, is full nudity OK in this thread?

Aaarghhh what the hell bitcoin cash!!! Why are you going up? Any News? not like Bitcoin is going down... are stoopid banksters and friends confusing the two?

They are just making me extra rich both together  Grin
Is BCH really going up? In real terms (I mean, price relative to BTC), it looks more like sideways to me.
4511  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: September 01, 2017, 12:36:23 PM
Ok I've missed out on a lot of this increase. Just got back from hospital with our newborn baby boy. Shattered and on top of the world but also what makes it even better is a nice btc price!!

Now sleep.

Congratulations to the three of you!!

Good luck with the sleep... its a very difficult time to sleep..

(when BTC is knocking on new ATHs I mean  Grin)

Difficult time to sleep with all the new ATHs indeed, and the newborn won't help a bit in that department. On the other hand, some positive thinking is in order. You will be able to check the price more often when it's your turn to wake up at night.

Congrats indeed, daddy!   Cheesy
4512  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: September 01, 2017, 11:18:12 AM
It's very silly that the SEC has inadvertently created an even more volatile offshoot of Bitcoin.

Inadvertently?

If you haven't already, make sure to stake your address. Best thing you can do to protect your account.

Thanks for the tip! Just staked it.

Anyway, now is the second part of the plan. Wu is buying thousands of bitcoins to lift the prise up to a certain point he decided to go. The same traders who lost their profit before, now are like the flies going to the light bubble just to get burned. At some day and hour Wu will start selling hard to bring the price incredibly low - below 3K or even lower. The illiterate traders will think that something 'bad' happened with bitcoin and lose big time (again). The only difference is that this time no one can tell what the outcome of this evil plan will be. Until markets decide which is the 'real' bitcoin, the price volatility will be huge.

If this is the way things are, I reckon Wu & co. will burn themselves more than they did with the BCH thing.
Just for starters, exchanges don't want to deal with chains without replay protection.
4516  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: August 30, 2017, 12:33:34 PM
+1

stay save with a hedge (BCH) against the future of BTC.

excuse me? BitCH would be a hedge on BTC risk? If BitCH succeeds in killing BTC, then:
1) There will be a general crash in crypto because it will be proved that they can be killed by such attacks; and
2) There are many better coins than BitCH to play with.
Draw your conclusions.

I also didn't manage to sell my BCH at a price that would make me feel good, so I'm justifying myself with a half-assed hedge argument similar to this. Conspirosphere.tk, I totally agree with your point 1). Not so much with point 2), because as altcoins go, technical soundness isn't really that relevant. It's more of a hype and deep pocket whale business IMHO. So BCH might be as good as the next alt, given the support team it has.

Besides, the half-assed hedge argument has partial merit IMO: if/when BCH mining profitably keeps dropping as it is, in order to keep the altcoin from reaching quick irrelevance, there must be pumping. So the "hedge" side of the argument can be turned into "retribution" for the schemers. I wager many long time hodlers, who at the moment can't be bothered to split/move/sell their BCH, will get their asses on the move if BCH price gets interesting enough. I for one will. I've already made a couple BTC on some BCH, and I've got sell orders for another part of my stash set up at 0.5 BTC/BCH.

That nurse meme is not factually accurate since you can't carve a Bitcoin up into 10 decimal places, only 8....
That's 2025! They already added 6 decimal places (20 bits actually) with the GUF (great utility fork) in 2020, after the bitcoin price surged past 150k USD - roughly equivalent to 120k 2017 USD.
4518  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: August 29, 2017, 04:46:51 PM
Good to see the one and only bitcoin doing so well. I just seen the most Perculier thing on bittrex  someone bought some BCH lol

https://twitter.com/sknthla/status/902559923955015681

According to that BCH now has panhandlers going out in the street. Impressive stuff.
Thats what I call a "new low"
disclaimer: I dumped my bch at .2
Grrr. You quick lucky SOB.  Angry
I'm still hoping for some pumping action later this year though ;-)  Cheesy

What happened?
Maybe someone stopped mining empty blocks?
4520  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: August 28, 2017, 10:26:11 PM
Liberation day. All my bits are out of Polo.
So who's still in BCH. Be honest Wink

Still got all my BitCHcoins.  Grin

Not sure how it will play out but I like it as a hedge


I was going to do the same thing steelboy but I went for it last week and after a lot of fucking about managed to trade all the WuVEr coin for btc. I am aware the gap may close with btc fud and a WuVer coin pump but that's not guaranteed and I managed to boost my btc by 14%-15% so I was very happy with that.

It's such a basket case of a coin. But it's set to halve 3 years before us. Selling could be a big mistake. But meh.
I still have most of my BCH. I had halfheartedly decided to sell, but then the price started to go too far down for my taste. So I only sold a little, waiting for better times. I could call it a hedge or a speculative bet. There's going to be a fork in November, and a BCH halving a fortnight after that (ok, I'm exaggerating). So who knows - maybe Jihan and Ver will repump the old shitcoin. I'll be ready.
