Subject: 3/22 shakeout

To all coalition members:

Congratulations on last week's shakeout!  This was our best one yet.  I'll follow up with the date and time of the next planned event.

Just a few observations:

1.  Remember, the timing is critical.  All times are posted in GMT, so PLEASE make the correct translation to your local time.  (There's a tool called Google that can help you with the time conversion.)  Also I recommend that you use www.time.gov, or similar services, to coordinate the timing down to the second. 

2.  No CHEATING!  In order for this to be effective, no pre-selling or pre-buying!  You must sell at the exact moment designated, so that we can maximize the effectiveness of the coalition, and maximize panic in the Bitcoin Market.  This is the honor system - we can all do very well together, by increasing our BTC, without taking from each other.  Remember, the more panic we create, the better off we are.

3.  Remember, our objective is not to cause people to doubt the validity of the currency, but to shake out the weak hands, who panic at every little drop.  Last week was ideal for this, due to the recent price run-up, and the number of noobs in the market.

4.  Gondorg suggested that we adjust the rules.  We're open to ideas.  For now, the rules remain the same:  You are to sell at the designated moment (no sooner), and stay out of the buying market for four hours, to let the panic take hold.  At that point, you can buy back only 10% of whatever amount you sold, for each of the next 10 hours.  After that time, you can buy whatever you want.


Please report your stats to me by the end of the day, for the 3/22 shakeout.  Once I have everyone's numbers, I'll publish them back to you.  Personally, I was able to increase my holdings by 12.6%, at the same investment level!  I also bought in another 5% at the discount prices.  I'll share the btc quantities in my follow-up report.

A fool and his money soon funds my retirement!

Certainly could be a likely scenario...  Maybe they setup a DDOS of Dwolla to prevent even more buying.

Lol, this explains some stuff. I guess some people are making lots of money right now then.

I'm staying. I bought the few bitcoins I have with hard-earned money, but I'm not here to earn profit but to support the bitcoin concept. My wallet-computer is shut down so I can't be tempted to still cash out.

We had a thread about it earlier. Turns out the Pastebin file has a modification on it where the timestamp changed from 12h to 24h; there's a good chance it's a hoax.

If there is something that will make Bitcoin succeed, it is growth of utility - greater quantity and variety of goods and services offered for BTC. If there is something that will make Bitcoin fail, it is the prevalence of users convinced that BTC is a magic box that will turn them into millionaires, and of the con-artists who have followed them here to devour them.

Of  course it is but why not join the party?  I sold at 92 earlier bought back at $75... Easy fucking money.. Just like last weekend sold at 74 bought back at $53... in the process I keep more and more coins... This game isn't for the weak and fearful. I feel bad that they are missing out on a chance to be filty fucking rich

Buy Low Sell HIGH is the Motto...

The minute I buy any it will crash for certain. Me and luck are not the best of bedfellows. If you don't want the market to crash send me bitcoins now or I shall buy one. You've been warned.

Anyone who followed these rules is dumb.  Wait 4 hours?  Why so you can buy up all the cheap bitcoins?

This is almost certainly a dumb hoax. But part of me wishes it wasn't, for how long will it be till one of the members of the "consortium" decides not to p,ay by the rules and just sweep all the coins for himself?

It's already happening. Maybe we should make our own consortium?
