I'm confused. Why Eth which is so in demand by the crypto community is so strongly dependent on bitcoin. Their price charts copy each other. Is there really no way to break this vicious link?

You should be grateful for this link, Without it the price of Vitalik's ETH fork would have dropped with 50% at least.

Can someone explain, why ICO on ETH is more popular than projects in NEO or BTC ?

The perfect match!
Most of the ICOs are scams. In contrast to NEO and BTC most of ETH investors are clueless greedy noobs.
'A fool and his money are soon parted'.
 
 

You mean that if the project is made on BTC AND NEO, then it more likely not scam, in comparison to ETH ?

I mean if the scam is made on ETH, then it is more likely to succeed in parting fool and his money.

"The BTC fork of bitcoin", that's when I stopped listening.

Haha... So do I.

It is a little mind boggling that anyone would sell during the weekend knowing they could sell for 10-20% more on Monday. Can a bear explain the mentality?

I'm not a bear but I will try to explain following a simple strategy that helps me sleep at night:
I sell 50% of my earnings daily, regardless of price.

 Invest -> Profit -> Protect



My strategy that helps me sleep at night is to convert all my daily earnings to bitcoin, regardless of price.

When you say it is not worth it, I think you mean that you don't see it is something that it is going to have an interesting ROI for you as an intermediary node... but you mean now, medium term or also in the future?

There seems to be a cost to open a channel, and it appears that it's not worth it, just opening channels willy-nilly right now.

eg: I'll fund a channel with 1,000,000 SAT.

When the channel closes, for whatever reason, listfunds reveals I have a balance of 999,085 on my end.

Opening/closing a channel is done by a bitcoin transaction on bitcoin network. Haven't you heard of bitcoin tx fees?

mmm time for some crushed bull soul on ice

Get the lube ready for you'll be fucked hard!

If their big dump causes a downward reaction, they can make a huge profit if they close their position at the right time.

Their big dump is most welcome. They will help many people buy their first bitcoin at more affordable price.

I get the sinking suspicion Wall St controls the price now. I'm probably wrong, but I can't shake it.

I was suspicious too until yesterday. Today there is a clear decoupling between Dow and bitcoin.

Understandable move and might turn out to be good in the mid-term (in a non-speculative way)


Since when banks decide what people can buy with their credit cards? Is bitcoin illegal?



It might be their credit card but it's still the banks money, even though I believe in Bitcoin and recommend investing to people I wouldn't give them my own money to do it.

You're allowed to invest banks money from your credit card in Vegas casinos but they don't allow you to invest in bitcoin because of... too much risk... Really? Only retarded can buy the "risk" argument.

Just about to buy again and someone jumped big in front of me.
593  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: February 02, 2018, 11:00:57 AM
Just dumped all my tethers. I was so worried about tether I was ready to buy back at 12K the other day. This is a steal.

You don't have tethers. You don't have bitcoins. You never had.
Don't get too excited when bitcoin price goes down and don't be too depressed when bitcoin price goes up.
Just don't forget to take your daily medications and everything will be ok.

Very close to the bottom now. I'm buying.
595  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: February 02, 2018, 01:30:00 AM
I have to admit theres a lot of big orders being thrown down at these levels.

Whoever is selling, thank you for the cheap coins. Appreciated as always!



Hear This Many times and Many of us thinking the same , but what When fiat runs out and theres No more fiat to buy any?? At that circumstances those can Just hope to go back up ?  Cool

Central banks are printing hundreds of billions every month. If you don't get any of those newly printed fiat money then bitcoin is not for you! You probably have much bigger trouble than current bitcoin price correction?

Every central bank is the trading cycle for their respective currency. USDT is a private currency of Fiinex. It is quite natural if Finex defines the trading cycle of USDT.

Fed is the trading cycle for USD. Finex is the trading cycle for USDT. Get used to it and move on!


I feel like one of us has entirely missed the point of this conversation.

You think Finex defines the trading cycle of BTC by minting USDT. This is not true. Finex defines the trading cycle of USDT! They can do whatever they want with their private currency if they meet all their obligations. If you're not happy create your own currency and sell BTC against it. Hope that clears all missed points.
598  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: February 01, 2018, 09:42:50 PM
ok

I'll say it :

Who sold at bottom ?


the bottom was 10k

And before that it was 12k, and before that 14k... and now it's 8k?

It's almost like selling at the "bottom" could be actually a good strategy Tongue

One year ago it was 1k. Now it's 8k. It looks like buying at the top is a better strategy.

This is an interesting twist on the USDT thing: that they are capitalised, but went about it backwards. http://telegra.ph/Tether-could-be-guilty-of-perpetrating-a-huge-fraud-just-not-the-one-we-think-02-01

It doesn't make sense.

The timing of the creation of new USDT. Analysts have noted this often happens at critical moments, for example when the market is falling sharply or is threatening to breach a significant technical level. That would make sense if Tether are using those opportunities not only to buy cheap BTC, but potentially to manipulate prices higher in order to sell them at a better rate.

Bullsh!t. Every margin trader is doing that.


True. Though not every margin trader gets to print the currency with which they buy BTC.
It's pretty well accepted that the creation of new USDT tends to occur at key points in the trading cycle.

Margin traders borrow money that might or might not exist at the time trade is done. That's what banks are doing all the time while trading. They borrow overnight to finance their trading positions.

Nobody knows in advance where are the key points in the "trading cycle". Those points become key points only after somebody invests a lot of money buying or selling. In this case acquiring a lot of USDT and selling them for BTC.


By minting 100m usdt, Finex become the trading cycle. That's the whole point.

Fed is the trading cycle for USD. Finex is the trading cycle for USDT. Get used to it and move on!
