Seems like he's learning as he reads. Doesn't have clue who Bitfinix'ed is. Who is he?

Hey quick, Someone wake up JJG so he can tell me again that there are no pre-planned, coordinated attacks on Bitcoin.  Only the good die young. Or they get murdered Our young Bitcoin is gaining too much traction in this world bound to old legacy sort of systems. Torque, you know better than me that this will change. Hold

As many pointed out the timing couldn't have been better. I'll simply hold my coins. During these days I say to myself that 1 BTC is 1 BTC. Our time has yet to come. If Bitfinex and Tether blow up, I just don't care
I would merit this post, but I blew my load  Don't worry bro! Now you have some more.

News from Masterluc. Daily volumes fall = bearish trend is weak. I still believe that the lower $10k will be bought ruthlessly.

More news from Masterluc. My account on bitcointalk.org "masterluc" was compromised
So I'd suggest mistrusting anything Masterluc posts here.

Been reading for a while but only now registered to speak.
Wanted to thank everyone for the great commentary and knowledge sharing.
I am in this for the long run, as stated previously: 1 BTC is 1 BTC. I am confident in the technology, which is what really matters here. This is just a quick stocking up stage. I believe/hope that BTC will only rise stronger. A good rise from this should show confidence in BTC and the community.
Thanks for the positive outlook. I hope to contribute more in the future, but it seems that many active users here are much more knowledgeable than I am.... but there are others that are clearly not. Hopefully I can find a spot to be helpful as well.
HODL/restock is the way through this.

I feel this is just one last (or next-to-last) weak shake. The bears must be out of breath. And out of coin.

Funny thing is, Wallstreet was running the stops in the stock market today too. I feel that they have fresh money coming in (repatriation), and Feb. will start the ball rolling.

Do you hear that sound, young goyim? That's the great sucking sound of bitcoin being dumped for physical silver; the monsterous bubble deflating until there's nothing left in sight but Vitalik crawling up into a ball to die on the floor.

I would merit this, but in the expressive words of our retiring chap-wearing superstar, I would merit this post, but I blew my load

I can corroborate this theory. https://www.trustnodes.com/2017/12/15/warrant-canary-bitfinex-employee-disappears-rumors-swirlBitfinex employee Chris Ellis removed the warrant canary from his Twitter account back in December. If anybody is not familiar with the definition of a warrant canary, here is the definition from Wikipedia: A warrant canary is a method by which a communications service provider aims to inform its users that the provider has not been served with a secret government subpoena. Secret subpoenas, such as those covered under [...] provide criminal penalties for disclosing the existence of the warrant to any third party, including the service provider's users.
Besides, until then Chris Ellis was making multiple tweets per day and suddenly his Twitter activity completely stopped: https://twitter.com/mrchrisellisIrrespective of this I have to agree with Torque, the proceedings that follow a subpoena can take a long, long time and stalling tactics are definitely viable... I don´t think this will have a big impact on the market at all. I hope someone of you got a few buy orders filled.

I HODL.
2017 was a game changer, today my hairdresser asked me about "how to bitcoin", as i have mentioned earlier that am now "retired" thanks to bitcoin.
Seldom people talk about his, but the fact that bitcoin has reached the intellectually lazy "average Joe" 's mind last year, and the basic instinct of human greed made several of my acquaintances to reach out to me* and wants to "invest" made me have the impression, that this must be happening all around the world; just look at the stupid ICO frenzy, ill informed people throwing money in hope to make fortunes -bitconeecrash LOL.
My point is, even if the motivation of the "downtrotten" is for just quick buck, the fact that they start to accept cryptos as a valid substitute of wealth preservation/increase vs. the fiat world is a huge step in the way of making bitcoin a mainstream phenomenon.
I wonder why all the worries, if anyone is here for the long run, who cares about a 50% dump? We are still up 1000%+ from a year now, why the FUD?
*Sadly, my efforts to educate these people always hit a brick wall, as they express implicitly, that they "do not have time" to invest in understanding the basic concepts (mathematical, IT, economic, etc.) what bitcoin is, just wants free money.
Side rant: Now i do not have guilt anymore about the fact that my ex colleagues will earn less in 30 years than me just by sitting on my bitcoins, for i have spent literally 1000s of hours educating myself, restrained my spending for years ("nah, i won't go with you to a vacation, rather buy 5 more of those really cheap bitcoins! - 2015), and they could not take the fukin effort to read a couple of articles/watch a few hours of videos on youtube i have put the effort into select and sent them for basic education.

Good evidence, Samarkand. Thanks. I don´t think this will have a big impact on the market at all. I hope someone of you got a few buy orders filled.
I got one, waiting for one more. Shameless, yes, I am being a little unrestrained in this accumulation spree. By the way, I hear a distant sound of thunder. No, it's not thunder. It's more like shhpllllirrrrr shhpllllll weweee shplllrrrhh...what can it be? The distant sound of shorts being squeezed in the not too distant future?

Couldn't agree with you more. A friend of mine referred me to Bitcoin in summer of 2013. I bought my first at $800 and one of my last at $200 in 2015 and have held since then. I read voraciously on the subject back in 2013 which is the main reason why I invested around $10,000 into the technology and continue to be fascinated by it. My friend you ask? The one that first told me about it when it was at $60? He owns .15 of a BTC, which was a gift from me in 2015. I still struggle to understand why he recommended it to me, yet never embraced it himself. I just think it was mainly laziness on his part. He had read enough about it to deem it interesting enough to pass on to me, but never spent more time understanding it. I still feel a tad guilty when we speak, cause he's not getting another gift haha
