Tether just flashed down to 94 cents so it’s not completely over yet.

If you've used LocalBitcoins in the UK, this guy's account would probably be familiar with you. He put down his residential address on Companies House for his business - not a good idea.

It's a stark reminder of the truth of that five dollar wrench gif. Keep safe and, if you have a great sum invested, avoid exposing that fact!

Over a 3% in 3 seconds. It looks like I had a good idea yesterday... should have played with "some" money though... or maybe not, that USDT thingy is scary shit. At least I can say I have successfully traded USDT even if it will just buy me a beer.

The G20 then labels whoever they want "terrorists" and instructs the centralized pools to not process any transactions for them so your money is essentially deleted and you no longer exist ...

Except they aren't doing that, and can't do that, and can't enforce that. Not to mention the decentralized pools.

Then a single transaction goes through, and it jumps 20 hops ... enters zcash or monero or some exchange / dice site ... good luck with that.

Of course they can do that, except they will likely do it in a much easier manner.  The banks will simply create a chain anchor fork of bitcoin and legislate that the non-chain anchor fork is illegal and if you want to use bitcoin at all, you're required to use the chain anchor fork.  Bitcoin is STUPIDLY EASY for the G20 govts to co-opt and take over.

I predict that so much of late 2017's run up was by deep pocket institutional investors (and not retail)

You got it completely wrong.  I talked to plenty of Goldman Sachs people who were crawling all over bitcoin and altcoins back when the BTC price was $200-800.  The so called "institutional investors" aka banks were not the ones buying at the top, they were the ones dumping at the top.  It was their pump and dump to fleece the retail investor.

USDT is too scary for me.  I don’t mind playing dead cat bounces but I prefer my cat already dead, not at the top of the cliff.

I do agree. That's why I only played with $100 just for the lulz. But hey, it worked and I am happy for that

And again it is impossible to break 12k.

Whenever I hear a bunch of exuberant comments about trains etc I know a brutal bulltrap is coming

[pacman7331]

Chinese new year is a factor. Starts in 2 weeks. Will go up after.

Doesn’t mean it can’t break bear market early though....

However China did ban this recently. Maybe they are out of the market.

I would not short bitcoin at this point. 🤔

Globalists may do so for the NWO though. 🙈

[HairyMaclairy]

Haha fuck.  Just saw the candle to 20,000 euros on Kraken on 13 January for BTC/Euro.  Fat fingers or short squeeze?!

It’s just a wardrobe malfunction.

That candle had no volume - so it was some kind of error. We were also at 6 cents usd on coinbase in april.

... 6 cents usd on coinbase in april.

God I wish they would parse that bullshit.  Fucks up my Y axis all the time.

Have you had filled trades reversed? Assholes at BFX have done that to me.  Obviously decided I got too good a deal.

Happened to me on Mtgox...

[HairyMaclairy]

I hope you didn’t lose too much to Mark.  I was lucky. I had an account on Mt Gox but never got around to putting anything in it.

I left gox months before the collapse to margin trade on finex. Then I left finex days before it got hacked. Im really lucky (except the part where I obtained a neurological illness)
