In the next few days the people who took in loans to buy BTC at 18-20 k will start to sell  

We have seen LOTS of shorts squeezed on this rise.  When is the last time you remember seeing some cataclysmic longs squeezed to implode the price?  It hasn't happened since the price was in the $400-800 range probably. Everything is cyclical.  The draught of long squeezes has to invert at some point.

When I first showed back up you gently, but firmly, advised me not to feed the troll.

I'm here to return the favor.

I'm done. By confronting the troll directly and him not directly answering my question, I think anyone else reading this thread will understand that he's just wasting people's time.

But I ask you this then in return, why has he not been perma-banned from the WO thread? Or at least his posts deleted, if we ALL can agree that he's just a troll? Why should we all suffer this idiot whilst he constantly spams the WO thread with his drivel?

i second that. infofront, ban him.

Why make the decision for the user, there's an ignore button that's just as useful, unless of course s/he manages to get another noob to quote him/her.

This is reasonable. Also, I am not realr0ach. I am certain he has lost, he is not.

Please explain to me why any of us want our identity locked into a fucking blockchain?  You're basically applauding chain anchor that MIT tried to force onto bitcoin and people like Peter Todd were against.  Oh boy! Removal of privacy and anonymity!  Sounds awesome!  The only "cool" thing in the past about bitcoin was regulatory arbitrage.  All of these tertiary use cases are like state-empowering bullshit.  You're even talking about Microsoft here, a company that BACKPORTED all of their tracking systems from Win 10 to previous OS's solely to try and fuck the user.

 Infofront doesn't have ban powers anyway.  In fact, he's moderator of this thread only so all he can do is chew bubblegum or delete posts and he has a lot of gum.

R0ach only advocates that you buy the actual bullion, not pieces of paper. Therefore, your argument isn't going to fly.  

Tungsten.

R0ach actually favors silver over gold. So the Tungsten argument is only going to be dismissed.

Why don't you suck roach's dick too?       Spouting off Roach's trolling talking points as if any of them were "insightful" or relevant to this thread (except to the extent that such relevance could show that PMs are old school and likely to be largely surpassed and surplanted by the many advantages of crypto currencies - especially the one that matters, our little friend, bitcoin).  

I'm only reminding everyone of the same old tired arguments that have been used. So FUCK off. No wonder lots of people have you on ignore. That insult you just lodged at me really triggers me. Who do you think you are telling me to go suck someone off? Don't even bother responding. I have you on perma-ignore now. Not going to be insulted by a snot nose kid.

You seem a little sensitive, if you cannot take a little criticism regarding your seeming series of pro-roach (recall a troll?) statements.

This is because with rising BTC price the value of your collateral for your leverages increases too - atleast this is my view; i usually dont use leverage.

No, roach has some really good arguments even though he is our resident antisemite and shills sometimesoften way to hard for PM's

Well, it's mostly because there are people who own like 200,000 coins and can't sell them without imploding the market, so they're essentially illiquid, toxic assets.  On the other hand, they can use their toxic assets as margin collateral to squeeze shorts and also to do pump and dumps.  If you live in a civilization that facilitates people to leverage toxic assets and create a toxic asset at 3x the price of a non-leveraged one, take a good look around because all this shit is going to be crumbling down on top of you soon and that applies to both bitcoin + Wall Street.

This is why DaRude. This is why. I would have to put everyone that quotes him on ignore too, which would be like half the people here...

If you want someone banned, then you report to administrators with the "report button"; however, infofront does not have the power to ban, but he can delete posts.  If you want posts deleted, then you can pm infofront and make such request and to link the violating post(s) in order to provide rationale for infofront. 

Of course there is surely a pattern of behavior, here, in which Roach has about 10 pages of too many posts, and nearly pure clutter of largely irrelevancies and distractions.

If you can abstract away all his PM shilling and antisemitism then it is not unusual that he brings sound arguments.
I think as a smart person you should be objective and open to sound arguments that go against your opinions.

Proper double bottom incoming over the next few days

I thought similar dumps would happen this time last year, and bitcoin's price shot up above the 2013 ATH instead. All this year I kept expecting huge crashes, and it just corrected a little then carried on going up. Maybe bitcoin adoption is speeding up so fast it's preventing any huge crashes. Maybe it will soon be above 20 k.

Which is exactly what we voted for and he is doing a great job at

PM shilling

Do you really believe the price of bitcoin hit $20k while the "evil bankers" are against it?  It would have been made illegal WAAAAY before that happened if they were actually trying to stop it.  We all know the only thing that keeps bitcoin afloat is it's ability to be converted to fiat.  Cut off the fiat conversion and this shit instantly implodes.  So why has it not happened?  Why?  They want you to buy this centralized govt tracking system instead of metals.

[DaRude]

This doesn't have typical Ver and the Co. dumping feel. They're not doing huge market sells, but rather a stepped approach to maximize the profits Ver and Co. has unlimited funds as long as BTC continues to go up, if they already cashed out in this price range there are no more to sell perhaps this might be the reason mempool is going down

So anyone buying their other half or family members some BTC for Christmas?

Thinking of getting my girlfriend some BTC as another gift as I've been left a bit "meh" with what to buy her this year.
