Maybe I should put a nice lil picture of my hat next to each comment in this thread. That way I feel like I'm a bit more part of the gang, and it might increase my chances of being invited to the $100k party. Its kind of like how newbies would include their signature text in their comment field after they got demoted when the merit requirements went into effect.





Can't disagree with the inclusion of the hat approach.   Wink  But you might get yourself in a bit of a pickle (a pun of our residential pickle, ibian) if you are posting signatures in this forum.. through such text inclusion.  In other words, would become a nuisance, and really, I would not mind if theymos just allowed signatures in this thread, but NOT likely to happen based on our current forum situation.

I remember reading a blog of one very prominent trader (sorry, I forgot the linky).
He said:

1. if your last 4-5 trades went bad, become very defensive.

2. if your last 4-5 trades were profitable, become very aggressive.

I lost a large chunk of my trading equity in 2001-2002 since I only knew the bull market of 1997-2001 prior to that.
Nothing worked, but I kept 'buying the dip'.
It was a good lesson.

That's fucked up! My first day of trading:
5 losing trades out of 5!
There is something to strive for and where to grow
A trader losing 100% of the times is precious as much as one hitting right 100% of the times.
You just need a friend taking a position opposite your view, but triple the size.


I doubt that the problem is a matter of doubling down, coincidence or whatever.

Something seems quite wrong and unsustainable if you are losing 100% of the time with 5 bets, and you just begun to engage in the activity.

Likely the better strategy is to quit for a while and reassess the prudence of your approach.

Personally, I don't care about the punchline, and I stand by my earlier statement.

Furthermore, even though engaging in Martingale style of betting will tend to have profitable outcomes, it is not a sound nor a prudent long term strategy or a way to live, from my humble bumble perspective.

Not sure who the hell could dare to short that at this stage!

Don’t short bull markets. You will, sooner or later, get smashed.  

If you have to use leverage (and you probably should not) long the dips.

Cor blimey. Coinbase starts foaming at the mouth and embarks on boning their customers if the Bitcoin price goes up by $500. How will they cope with entire continents?

I guess at least it's consistent business. That don't change that fact that it'll be a tidal wave of it.

Tinfoil time(not really though bc this all could very well be true):

What if this megapump of the last few weeks has been Facebook secretly buying up mostly Bitcoin but also a basket of other major cryptos to create a buzz in Crypto as they start leaking out their Globalcoin plans. Shocked

Also adding to this pump would have been insiders aware of Facebooks impending plans and buying Bitcoin to profit from such big news for Crypto in general.

Facebook might also realize its Globalcoin plans will be immensely good for the bitcoin price(hint: it is  Cool) so it makes sense to buy Bitcoin in advance and they may have other reasons to want to acquire a large stack of Bitcoin due to their Shitcoin Roll Eyes interests that I cant guess at at the moment.

Facebook is seeking partners in its Globalcoin endeavors and what better way to get major corps to sign on with them than to pump the price of major Cryptos as they are in talks, creating a fantastic buzz around the space and forcing CEO's to salivate at getting involved with a hot trend in hopes of making big announcements to pump their own stock and hit bonus targets.

TLDR, perhaps insiders really did know something all along, it just wasnt about Bakkt or an ETF. Perhaps Globalcoin is much more beneficial for Bitcoin than both of these combined.  Cheesy

Golden* advice indeed. And distilled - not a single dud. Printing and taping near trading monitor advised.

* Use of the adjective golden in the traditional sense implies no endorsement of gold over BTC.

Yes, bc now Facebook will have to pay a higher price Cheesy

It is in Facebooks interest to help keep this bull pumping at least until they have acquired all their partners and released Globalcoin. Its in their interest afterwards as well, but not as critical.

I beg to differ: it is not good for bitcoin at all. It would have been if they used btc, of course.
Now, instead of talking about Bitcoin story, all mass media would keep talking about is how facebook is "improving" bitcoin.
In reality: what exactly would support this stable coin for millions of people to use? I don't think that banks would be happy with this.
And governments? This would essentially mean facebook minting currency, which they obviously can't.
One interesting side effect: this would either kill XRP completely or banksters would run to it in lieu of facebookcoin.
