I am interested to know what will you lot do if that was real?

I would rob a bank and buy all those BTC and willingly take a jail for the next 10 years LOL

This was not a real flash crash. CloudFlare was causing issues with many sites, earlier today, and this deep dip in Coindesk's charts was caused by having bad data.

This is why you always leave really low buy offers in on a few exchanges.  Flash crash was very real, anyone remember when ethereum flash crashed to 10 cents from 300 bucks?

Would they have to honour those buys at those prices?

5. Kenzawak says and i quote "Fuck is my favorite English word." wish i can translate this word in Hindi,punjabi,urdu

TA looks bad and we will see the price of 9000$ or even 8000$ for a single BTC soon. This is the daily chart for me looks obvious bearish.

Fuck the charts.

If you like fuck, then fuck the motherfucker fuck.


By the way, I suspect that your wife likely disapproves of your "favorite"

They should and if they don't they are BS IMO..
Whoever hit market sell and dumped is the one that looses the coins, not the exchange, unless the exchange is rigged..

I have caught a couple DASH crashes and have seen a lot more.. I saw a bot go crazy once and market buy a shitcoin up like %10,000 too so it does happen both ways..
This is one reason why I almost never use market orders besides it seems they screw me anyway..

If you catch a crazy order like that I would suggest withdrawing your funds from that exchange immediately so they don't get the chance to roll the trades back on you..

Shorts at a yearly low.  Last time they were this low was April-May 2018
Bummer, that's my contrary indicator. HODL

Dame it Bone! You ruined the party.

I do not like the $600 candle, there is little volume.

Hot bed for manipulation at the moment. So many clueless day traders getting burnt I reckon.
Can you imagine being a Localbitcoins day trader in the current market -

‘Buy in the morning from an exchange’
‘Quick....list for sale on LBC for 5% above market value’
‘OH FUCKKKKK, the price has dumped $1,000’

[wwzsocki]

I like this big red candle very much. Looks like we are going up?

You realize the amounts of shorts going down is generally bearish right?

Are you sure? Look at the BTC chart  

Wanted to edit my post and I deleted him by mistake. Should be additional popup window after one click on delete to avoid such mistakes.

Shorts at a yearly low...HODL

In few hours situation changed and now start to look bullish again or this is one big bull trap. Just look at the 4 hours chart.



Anyways, I AM BUYING AGAIN

Yep, the price went up too fast, killing any newbie HODL action, then on top of that, speculators now burnt also. Hard to get traction with newbies and adoption with this kinda stuff.

Maybe enough got burnt on this BTC runup that we got some HODL'ers out of this, but I doubt it. So unless other from 2017 newbies have bought in and have the sense to HODL now,

I think it just made the whole crypto scene look stupid and manipulated (which it probably is anyway) and just turned off a lot of folks who would have ridden the price up to 12k slowly.

I guess we need a sideways price to get some folk back. Again, Bitcoin price is still 2x the amount it was on 4/5/19 at $5050 USD. So there is hope. Bitcoin is an 'evil mistress'

Yes, I am.  I am not saying the price will go down, there are multiple elements that influence the price.

But if the amount of shorts are low, that is a negative factor.  Shorts in existence need to eventually be resolved by buying up the bitcoin again.  Buying of bitcoin is bullish for the bitcoin price.  Therefore, all else being equal, lots of shorts in existence is typically bullish (unless they are a sign of smart money correctly anticipating a down move).

This happened for real on Kraken and on bitstamp in the past and peoples shorts were filled immediately for those seconds they hit well below the market value of those BTC!!!
From my previous post on the WO thread.

A history of flash crashes on exchanges where some people got bitcoin at $1000 when it was over $6000 per coin. And when kraken was selling a bitcoin for $100 in canadian money which is around $74 usd.

Damn! I am thinking to risk few hundred dollar at a random unbelievable price in those exchanges just for fun LOL

How does this work anyway?

Just put in an order of shorts and wait until it happens.
There are many who have buy orders put into multiple of exchanges set to $100 per coin if not lower.
Just incase it happens which is just like trying to catch a unicorn.
But on those two exchanges it happened so it is worth a shot to put in a few hundreds on every exchange you are on so to catch the rainbow when it does happen.

Frequently, you are such a negative nancy, searing.

Experienced bitcoiners realize that volatility is a part of bitcoin, and chances for actual meaningful or long lasting "stability" is mostly a fantasy, and not part of bitcoin's underlying situation - which happens to be at some early stage of an exponential s-curve adoption.

Newbies can dollar cost average or buy and hold for the long term.  They should also be capable to look at charts in order to recognize bitcoin for what it is - a volatile beast - without getting their hopes up higher than they need to be by investing an amount that does not cause them too much anxiety - and DCA should be able to help with that, too.

Why does the crypto world seem to be infested with more than its fair share of alt-right loons?

Could it be that the leftie-loons consider anybody normal an alt-right loon?

^This!

If “normal” is being an incel and celebrating Hitler’s birthday, then yes.  

- Your resident leftie loon

Weren't incels distributed pretty much identically across the political spectrum? Or are cucks a predominantly lefty thing?


By the way, am I the only one unimpressed with the weak roller-coaster? wen moon wen lambo

Bitcoin went up $10,000 and then down $3,000 so it overall gained $7,000.. Their were only 10 days out of 12 weeks in which you could have been "burnt" if you bought then, as in down just a little bit..

How is this a problem?

Personlly I don't feel bad for people that lose money trading because when I trade I know I'm taking someone elses coins..
If you trade to gain crypto you are taking the coins from somebody..
If you trade to gain $$s then you are leaching money out of the marketcap of whatever crypto you are trading..

Sheeit. Looks like we're going to be testing $10,5 within the hour. What a crappy way to start the week. El dumperino
