I've been inspired by the sombre, somewhat-reflective mood of the day.

 The artist's name is Jean-Louis André Théodore Gericault.   The painting captures a moment of hope when survivors, who had been left by their captain, catch a glimpse of a passing vessel.
 It's worth reading about if you have the time:

p.s. Speaking of Mark..and semi fearing standing on that same ground yefi..lol.  Did you all see the AMA he did on reddit the other day. Not going to go into depth about it..but...its seems he is growing up some.(I hope) Meaning what I saw seemed heart felt and sincere. I still think he has a lot to answer for..but..its a start.

He's improving at living amongst our alien species. Somewhere out there amongst the stars is a planet where he belongs, however.

Ref: spike:

Apparently some Russinas have been rattled by new list of people 'to be sanctioned' outside Russia (due to current situation of Russian oligarchs not being quite so in fashion) and said formerly welcome rich types have started to panic about getting funds out of the west, just in case the list and / or financial sanctions go even further.

Well, it's possible - no proof, chaps - but it was just 'mentioned' on BBC world service. Maybe converting overseas funds into BTC is a way to get money out fast?  What would you do?

Edit: there have also been massive stock market drops and a weakening of the Rouble.  According to Reuters:   'Reuters calculations show that three Russian tycoons may have lost a combined $7.5 billion since the list of U.S. sanctions was announced.'

The new sanctions were announced on Friday, the markets recovered a bit today over there, but it's very edgy, still.  News items on TV about 'what foods are best to have in the event of a nuclear attack' have not exactly helped...

[kurious]

Yeah - granted - maybe it was just short busting fun for whales - but 'events' sometimes do have an effect, or create an opportunity in markets, too.

Nite all! on European time here.  Can you keep it over $7800 while I get some kip? tia.

I've had two of my shorts liquidated on Bitmex. Ringing in a whopping loss of ~10$ worth of BTC.  
The good news is that the increased value of the rest of my BTC more than makes up for the loss.

Let's all raise a glass to celebrate +12% today



oh jesus god no not him. better just stick to cake

Many claim that the BTC bubble has burst. BTC isn't a bubble --it's a response to the very real bubbles in our economy today.

Govt control of money and the most important price in a capitalist economy--the interest rate--has caused distortions and true bubbles. Let's take a look



Super thread on legacy financial system bubble.

[Michael CF]

Spectacular growth + 12% after a sharp drop, Bitcoin is on the rebound. When Bitcoin prices drop, they say Bitcoin is a bubble??

[JayJuanGee]

Hairy's buying and Jay is selling, this should all even out soon

Yes.  The irony.  I woke up this morning, and I found that the sudden 12% BTC price rise had caused automatic sales of about .7% of my total BTC holdings... yet the irony of such a sudden BTC price rise that triggered several sell orders, seems to be that the percentage of the value of the ratios of my total holdings of bitcorns as compared to fiat seemed to have gone up a little bit after such sudden price rise  (I mean that about a week ago, when prices were in the $6,700 territory... my portfolio skew in favor of bitcoins had been floating in the 93.1% arena and then after the recalculation my ratio went to 93.7%), as compared to before... Go figure?  

I may not be calculating too well, because sometimes there are more changes than merely the one pump that just occurred, but from time to time, I need to make adjustments to my ratios, too.  

Currently, I am o.k. with my BTC ratio staying in the 92% to 94% arena, yet if BTC prices were to go shooting up really fast towards ATHs, then I would not really want my bitcoin ratio to drop very far below 90%, unless maybe if we had gone much past the ATH territories in a rapid manner (something like a blow-off top)..  

 On the other hand, if BTC prices were to go shooting down to $3k or something like that, I probably still would like to have 96% or so ratios of the total value in BTC.....  just to be prepared for the possibility of more downwards, even if it did not seem too likely to me.... Adjust, adjust, adjust... and perhaps reconsiderations of strategies seem to be ongoing my habits.

So yeah, I just ate a big shit sandwhich...

If you were short you deserved it. We're supposed to be going up. That's the idea.

Hahahahaha... another irony... Rosewater lecturing the bear wanna bees...   

[JayJuanGee]

We are near 8k. Lets see if this time is another bull trap or not.

Personally I don't think so. The volatility had gotten so low there that the price was deciding which way to break out. It looks to me like a decision was made.

It would be nice if some of you goofballs will explain yourselves, rather than talking in amorphisms and also seeming to want to cover your predictions to be true, no matter what?... hahahahaha

 

[HairyMaclairy]

[JayJuanGee]

and they keep us enthralled

If it was a Bitcoin chart instead of Pokemon this would be more accurate for me!

You have decided to grace us with your presence?  Maybe you have been too out of touch with bitcoin in recent times?  Have you been following the SSS plan, more or less?  in other words cash some out on the way up and even perhaps buy back in, too?

You mean aphorisms, Jay? Maybe you ought to limit yourself to smaller words for a while?

Nope... I meant what I said.  Helrow?  You are in a real lecturing mood lately... You must be feeling good.  right?

My odds of not being a Walmart greeter when I'm 60 rallied by about 13% today.
