Revised Nagle™ Chart



We broke through the short term accelerating downtrend and are about to challenge the overall downtrend. It's a 45 period exponential, added a 90 version to indicate possible market reversal.

It's only a Nagle chart if it's completely bearish Wink

If it gets past 3.25, the resistance, both psychologically and depth-wise, is so low that it will most definitely shoot up to at least 3.6-3.7, after which 4 is very likely.  I'll be watching the price to see if it does.

I'm glad she no longer has custody of the children. I'm glad people don't want her to have any more children.

Suddenly seeing why the state might have its place in child protection?

Atlas sees the light!
Of course, he will defend to his death the mother's right to be free from coercion and to keep her children, probably.

Seriously, she got locked up for swearing in front of a child?  Her husband got arrested because there may have been a child in the room when they were having sex and is still awaiting trial?  As a result, she is left homeless and is arrested again on suspicion that she might have had sex with another man?  What kind of crazy system is that?

Oh wow, that's pretty fucked-up.

Everyone should remember that the rally to 3.85 occurred during THE WEEKEND!

Hey guys, if you can provide an argument as to why robbery is objectively immoral under any circumstances, I'll be impressed.
Otherwise, you must stop saying "blah blah moral blah blah rights."
Go read some Nietzsche and come back to us. Most of us have passed Philosophy 101. We know there is no objective morality. However, it is certain that property rights encourage the sustention of life. They give people incentive to produce in the first place.

Philosophy, blah.  The only analysis that matters is materialist analysis -- gotta agree with Marx on that.  I'm too busy to read useless philosophy Smiley

Now, I must point out that your support of the "sustention [sic] of life" is not consistent with your other posts, in which you say that if someone is about to die, nobody should be forced to feed them.  Is that really why you support your absolutist system of  property rights? 

Taxation and coercion reduce the incentive to produce... this is true.  They do not completely eliminate it though.  Why is your system of morality superior to mine, which values fairness more than an absolutist system of rights?
2710  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Mother of 15 Kids: “Somebody needs to pay for all my children." on: December 02, 2011, 03:23:02 PM
Children cannot be held responsible for parents choice. Not their fault their parents are idiot.
People cannot be held responsible for other people's choices. It's not their fault this mother chose to have 15 children. I am all for people voluntarily helping this mother's children but the idea other people must be HELD ACCOUNTABLE for HER CHOICES is disturbing.
But the children are more valuable than you.

They have a higher potential than you, they can become important scientists or what else, so it's in the interest of the nation to help them.

No, you value the children more than me. It's not in the interest of the nation to help them. A nation does not think, feel... It is not a sentient organism -- you are. It is in YOUR interest to help them and YOU want to steal for me to meet YOUR DESIRE: to help the children.

Why is theft bad? Good luck arguing that point.

One of the most peculiar things I have encountered is the concept of morality.  Everyone has their own version, yet everyone thinks everyone else should agree with them on the fundamentals.  I eventually realized, after pondering the subject for a little bit, that morality is subjective in the extreme.  Where do your rights come from?  Did the flying spaghetti monster come down from the sky and give them to you?  Why should I recognize your rights?  Indeed, why should a system of morals be consistent at all?  Morality is what you think is fair.  

Morality comes from your conscience, which comes from evolution.  It isn't meant to be rational.
To me, coercion is justified in these circumstances, because I believe in fairness of opportunity.  To you, Atlas, it is not, because you believe in a set of fundamental rights.  Still others, such as Marxists and socialists, believe in equality of outcomes.  

And you know what?  We can debate all night long but in the end neither of us is right.  We're merely talking past each other. Smiley

I think this thread should be bumped.  If enough people get pissed, mtgox might do something.
Or a replacement will rise up and take market share away from Gox. The best vote we have is with our economy. Move it elsewhere if they do not adjust.

My vote.  Speak with your wallets, everyone understands that language. 

We need a new exchange! However, I don't think any of the existing exchanges is good enough.  Time to make my own!?!?!?? Tongue

What will be the next trading range that "seems stable" after $3? (use common sense here... examples include $13-$15, $5-$7, $3-$4)
2715  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Mother of 15 Kids: “Somebody needs to pay for all my children." on: December 02, 2011, 05:10:17 AM
Children should be given equal opportunities in life regardless of their parents' decisions.  Though the mother is clearly an idiot for saying that "someone should be held accountable" (you mean yourself? idiot), the children should not have to suffer for her lack of responsibility.  If nobody is willing to support them voluntarily, then I must argue that this is one of the few cases where the coercion of the state is necessary and justified, not to guarantee equality of outcome, but to guarantee equality of opportunity for these kids.
However, the mother should not get a single cent for her irresponsible actions.

2716  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Mtgox Paxum transfers not coming through on: December 02, 2011, 05:05:46 AM
Mtgox has publicly stated that Paxum withdrawals are suspended due to the AML investigation in Europe.  Though I am very critical of mtgox, their explanation makes sense and I can't really fault them for the lack of Paxum withdrawals.

2720  Economy / Speculation / Re: The Bitcoin Sentiment Indicator on: December 02, 2011, 12:25:13 AM
Another bullish sign: difficulty is forecast to go up, and likely mining rigs that were turned off are going back online.  This could just be the change in season in the US with the first cold weather snap of the year, so bitcoin mining is just serving double duty by helping to warm houses, too.


Just recently hashing growth rate went to 2%, the first time in months!
