A little after 4.00pm US EST time.

My bet, no info to support it whatsoever - apart from I used to live in Manhattan. I just think they will want to release it after trading hours at NYSE / NASDAQ.  

35 minutes... ish.

Battle positions, Gentlemen.

Fine wine at the ready or a nice cup of horlicks and a box of tissue to mop up the tears?

We americans don't know what horlicks is
Let me use the Google for you....




A mug of Horlicks. Horlicks is a malted milk hot drink developed by founders James and William Horlick. It is now marketed and manufactured by GlaxoSmithKline (Consumer Healthcare) in the United Kingdom, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Bangladesh, Pakistan, India, and Jamaica.

I bet you Americans reading this have got nothing done today. At least us Brits could work knowing you guys aren't at work until 2pm GMT.

I got a lot done until 2!

Anyone's life savings depending on this decision?

 Grin Grin

My life savings is in bitcoins but that is nothing new. An approval pushing the price up over $3k would mean I would retire sooner rather than later. A rejection means a few more years of buying many more bitcoins.

Not retire in the sense of no longer working...just working on something I want instead of living in a war zone working in a box.

Sheet

we are alike. but i exit when it's wild, and jump in when there's movement. margin trading is gambling

I wouldn't know what to exit into. I certainly do not want to buy dollars. How much longer can that ponzi scheme go on?

long term nothing is certain. and in keeping funds in an exchange people get burned all the time (i did with finex Cry )

If you like to gamble you can do this on bitfinex as well. the usd will just sit there since you need to be verified and give them info to withdraw. but bitfinex has been known to steal your money
13  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: February 24, 2017, 03:34:53 PM
woke up in the middle of the night as price alarms went off...

Screw TA. Trust momentum, your gut, and be patient.
15  Economy / Speculation / Re: The only way to get rich is by riding the next big alt pump on: February 03, 2017, 06:47:39 AM
The days of becoming an instant millionaire are pretty much over.
The people that are making lots of money on crypto right now are the ones that already have it.
Whales are manipulating the price of coins and raking in the profits as the little fish try to make a few dollars.

This definitely seems like it's the case. Those who profited the most from the recent PASC pump were big ass fish for sure. Others saw the pump, dropped a few btc, and got a good amount out, but not life changing sums. The whales of the alt coin scenes accumulate when they know it's right, pump and direct, then dump crazy, leaving the small fish shell shocked!

Still 10-100x high volume pumps are definitely exciting! When the party ends, there's nothing left for a hot minute. What's the next one? The ANN secction is full of shit without potential. You never know what will rise truly.

Is there a section here in the forums for people on the lookout for early HIGH VOLUME upward moves in progress? Low volume shit is dangerous, boring, and it's better to trade bitcoin daily. But BTC volatility isn't like it used to be. We've now got a steady rocket Cheesy
16  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: January 24, 2017, 12:09:56 PM


You're mostly right. Except there's money to be made during mad dips with the obligatory bounce back (or at the least increasing BTC count even if dollar value diminishes). But yes, day trading (without borrowing aka margin) and with .25% fees .... it's hard to consistently increase money value and BTC count.


I agree with you about attempting to protect yourself from some of the price volatility, but I don't agree with the strategy that you seem to be suggesting, which is to sell when you see (or believe) that the price is going to go down - you are going to get screwed too many times if you attempt to time that and to figure that out.

The safer strategy is to sell on the way up and to buy on the way down, and part of the trick is figuring out increments and amounts in order that you neither run out of BTC to sell or money to buy with if the price tanks.

I have been employing such a strategy of buying on the way down and selling on the way up, and it seems to work pretty well.

A couple more things:  1) I don't think that it is a good idea to employ the selling part of the formula until you have figured out your accumulation targets and attempt to sufficiently accumulate before selling any BTC and 2) it is also a good idea to attempt to figure out various BTC/fiat ratios that you want to attempt to maintain and follow at certain price points.  Of course, you can have some flexibility, but you should also try to have a plan or an outline, too so that you can attempt to stay within certain predetermined parameters - which is especially important during very high volatility periods, when you don't wanna get nervous and deviate too much from your predetermined plan.

I will try this. Gracias

y'all niggas don't even trade?

Mostly not.

what do y'all do when it drops?

I have generally found that selling at the bottom to be a poor trading strategy. But what the hell do I know? I mostly don't trade.

you gotta sell and find a new floor after a reasonable time.

Suit yourself. In a chaotic inscrutable market, the only consistent indicator being an 8-year bull run amounting to something like a 100,000-bagger, the only rational trade is to buy and hodl.

And why is that? Because the price always has to fall and we can't have higher prices? The bitcoin price is literally increasing every year, except for 2014. I would not worry and I do not believe in all the bear crap.

The bull v. bear stuff is something that has always puzzled me.  I mean, surely anybody who owns any bitcoin is a "bull", no?  Because if they were truly "bearish" about Bitcoin, they'd have kept their money in fiat, in a bricks & mortar bank, where it's "nice and safe".  Nobody's going to have put their cash into Bitcoin unless they believe the price is going to go up.

Am I being overly simplistic?

there is short term, mid term, long term to be considered. i am a happy permabull. i think bitcoin will rise over $5k until 2020. we will see a new ath in 2017.
but i also think it will take at least until may 2017 to recover from this correction. if i had the guts i would sell some btc because i think we will see lower prices than the current one. but i am a coward, so i rarely do sell in moments like this one.  just canīt stand the fear that price could explode therefore ending up with less btc...

I predict that in the April/May timeframe we will slowly creep over the $1K mark again, and the media won't say shit about it the next time.  It'll be a non-event. Bitcoin probably won't be newsworthy again until the end of the year, when either an ETF launches, some major adoption announcement, or they do another round of those silly "which currency beat out all the others" type articles.

Oh, I did some paper trading once with bitcoin. Got my butt handed to me, would have lost out many btc if I had traded for real.  Thank the godz I didn't.

y'all niggas don't even trade? what do y'all do when it drops? you gotta sell and find a new floor after a reasonable time.
