After reading your post it occurred to me that the fat blob con artist who ran Mintpal could conceivably have been behind many of the scam coins it listed. I assumed he only got away with the Bitcoins he stole from peoples accounts, but he could have ripped people off for far more if he was a "dev" behind multiple coins. We always had to trust Mintpal's voting system fairly decided which coin to list next, but it might have been fixed
Wasn't he a relatively recent arrival though? I remember Mintpal being a fine exchange once upon a time. If I remember rightly Mintpal con boy's notoriety started with Doge. The creator of that may have turned out to be a shrill knob, but he wasn't a con artist or that guy. This thread dated July 28 says Mintpal had been sold to Moolah. The Moolah owner seems to have disappeared in October, which gave him two months to do anything he liked. I remember the switch to the new v2 website took a long time and was a total disaster, but he must have had a window of time in which he could have listed some of his own scam coins. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=714650.0 Oh, that butchered Mintpal V2 launch. He/They supposedly "lost" the database while launching the new exchange. A new exchange that was actually powered by a non-functional admin theme bought from themeforest for 15 dollars. Man, I don't think that i will ever have the opportunity to laugh like in 2014 in my lifetime. Scam after scam after scam and a lot of people that were under the "Wolf of Wall Street" euphoria. A lot of the newbies thought that they were professional traders. Shitcoins were having up to 10k BTC volume per day on shady exchanges, GOX, fallen dark markets etc, you name it, it was happening. The only thing that could revive the epic scams of 2014 would be a radical increase in bitcoin's price. The hype would then bring a ton of new interested naive users ready to dive in into the world of get-rich-quick-schemes and candy colored coins.

The price is consolidating. I think in 24 hours we will see a move. No idea up or down and i am not even guessing, just reacting to the market. This seems to be the triangle, more or less. OKCoin: I think the triangle is still more or less the triangle. +1

Good strong performance. But it needs to go above 270 at least before we start thinking of a trend reversal. There are several good news now so lets see if it can go up.

My mother was never so hysterically indifferent to the troubles of those touched by ill-fortune. No. You remind me more of my father.... I hated my father. They were touched by their own dumb decisions and never learned the first time so, no, i couldn't feel sorry for them. Of course that i laughed like a hyena when i saw every market graph going into a vertical abyss. How could i not laugh when i was seeing the people i tried to help accusing me of being hired by certain pump groups to spread fear and despair ? The intensity in those threads was the same as the one Wall Observer had in January when BTC was at $170. Red text, gifs, panicked bulls and pictures of Michael Douglas. The fun was always the part of the game. Without the fun i wouldn't have been able to stay for much longer in those cesspools. If you look at my posts history you will see that i'm still trying to help newbies avoid scam coins. In fact i even had a nice surprise a month ago when a guy i was insulting with in 2014 came by my profile and told me in a message that he was sorry for the fact that he was so ignorant back then and that he learned a lot in the process. You are being too sensitive.

The only people making money now are those who are lending out coins and fiat at BFX. I should take a vacation. This is the time for us to smear on some SPF 50, done shades and and crawl out of our caves.

There are still small profits. Granted its nowhere near as we have been making over the last year but its soomething. Sometimes there are these small rallies like when it got to 260 a few weeks back. That was some decent profits then

in the next 24 hrs, I predict the price will go up, down or sideways. The timing will be critical.
