da fuck

On one hand, I'm glad the bears moved first because I've been expecting a headfake. On the other hand, this shit just dumped below the 1-day lower BB. Not a good sign to see range expansion downwards. Let's see how the day closes.

Anyone seeing this Bitfinex premium over Coinbase, Stamp, etc? It's standing at $160 at the moment. What's up with that?

[yefi]

Dont' worry.

EVERYBODY PANIC!!!!

Any clue what this was? A gnarly dump to pick up cheap stocks from an Asian investor possibly?

Probably not. It's just some supply coming in. It's possible the bears are winning the battle and this big triangle breaks down.........

[jbreher]

All right ... who was it that was complaining about sideways?

it's any exchange with USDT...  poloniex, bitfinex bittrex.  

selling tether for BTC while shorting BTC ?  shorts are 55% and long 45% at the moment.   maybe it will rally soon or maybe it's fucked.

1minute blocks,

around 10x more blockspace but around 10x bigger transactions due to a lot more Zero Knowledge Proofs with ECDL based ZKPs for confidential transactions and confidential assets.

23 participants, not all of who have announced yet. 15 of them are running blocksigners. 11 of 15 multisig in the current version. (DPoS)

No one gives a shit about Bitcoin. No one knows what a Bitcoin is. There is no hope. Years and years of slow down-sloping hopelessness. I've come to terms with it already. It's as if this has already happened...I'm at peace. See?

[Icygreen]

Only one reasonable move. BTFD
A bit relieved personally now that my fiat stack is properly converted to shiny new bits.  But still sideways by any real measure...

Lest we forget:



If it's gotta be a Lambo, at least make it one where you can sit as far from the driver as possible.

It also helps if you can enjoy delicious alcoholic beverages while traveling.

Oh, we had a little dip? Pity.

No problem. Just gotta wait a little longer.

Wow, I didn't think it would be that soon - even trying did my head in!

Neither did I... but $2 million is huge amount of money and there are some awesome CTF teams that are used to work in stuff like this for a full week non-stop with almost no sleeping... The amount of work they can do in that time with that dedication and skills is simply mindblowing.

In fact the tx of the prize to three wallets could also indicate it was a team.

So, is 2019 a wash?

[Elwar]

Same tends to happen with gold. A huge drop in the stock market has an immediate affect dropping gold as well. But over the long term it rises due to a bad stock market.


Also...this is why we don't want to attach BTC to Wall Street.

I pioneered the JNR - jump never return whilst at university working with machine code

You gotta go back when you goto in structured.

my 1st assembly language program was on a trs-80 model one.. it was pretty much this:

                            LOAD A, "E"
LOOP_OF_DEATH:  PUSH AF
                            GOTO LOOP_OF_DEATH

i did it to see how fast i could fill the screen with the letter "E" vs BASIC code (POKE x,y) as with BASIC you could see it fill as the loop executed.  with PUSH i figured the stack would grow till it filled all memory, including the memory mapped video screen. it did. not to mention overwriting itself eventually of course.

with the machine language code the screen was instantly filled and the machine locked up before i could even begin to take my finger off the RETURN key heh. i was impressed. helped me understand just how fast straight machine code was vs interpreted code.

I remember doing all most the exact same thing in HS but I think we figured out how to just fill the screen. It must have been from a magazine. Otherwise I’m not sure how we figured it out??? I was amazed at the speed..
