and in a patent attempt to avoid discovery, Craig has claimed that the bonded courier is an attorney and his communications are privileged. Def. Jan. 28, 2020

Wait, so now the mysterious bonded courier, who Faketoshi knew nothing about or when/if he'd even show up, showed up with a list of public keys and also a law degree? Do many couriers work as part time attorneys You can't make this shit up! Bravo CSW! BRAVO!!

One have to acknowledge that the guy is a first class troll. None of that shit will hold in the end at the court. It is just a matter of time. Wonder what his plan is... if he really have one (probably don't). Sometimes I think he has a terminal illness (besides the mental one) and he think he will be dead by the time all his lies crumble catastrophically (jail/bankruptcy).

Satoshi was 'trolling' all the central banks, all the hobby crypto creators - a lot of incompetent ppl  - first class

and he had no time to convince all

True... but Craig isn't Satoshi, he's not even Satoshi's asshole... He's just an asshole

Good guy NSA reveals crypt32.dll sploit

It's almost funny how the NSA helps warning about all those vulns that they have been using for years... as soon as they notice they are not only ones exploiting it.

That’s why I always say thank you.

During an exclusive interview with Cointelegraph, BitPay CEO Stephen Pair said that the platform would soon add support for more cryptocurrencies, along with a possible Lighting Network integration.

who sold the bottom at $9076 (Bitstamp)?  

[Paashaas]

Central banks restored confidence in the stockmarket, underway making new records.

They can’t sell or short Chinese stocks...

Algos will be bullish even if entire humanity died but only if liquidity is injected in to the system daily.

Incredibly bizarre.

My time-based analysis for the coming days for anyone half interested. Published 6 weeks now and not influenced by recent price action 

February 6th-11th 2020 - The Next Swing Low

in my opinion TA is not a toolbox to predict the future (which is not possible seriously). but it can be a toolbox to get a statistical edge to more than 50 percent right decisions in trading.

example: will the daily close be above or below the support line below?



1.) if the daily close will be above the support line the probability is more than 50 percent that the price will rise again the next day.

2.) if the daily close will be below the support line the probability is less than 50 percent that the price will rise again the next day.

More/less than 50% is almost like nothing. It could be 50.01% vs 49.99%. Only when TA can offer an EV of a few % points it can become useful... even if barely in most cases.

To me this isn't the support, or as clear cut as this. Closing below $9,288 would be a new Daily closing low outside of the support/resistance range which would be short-term bearish, as well as confirming the sequential trend-change with a Red 2, and at current prices a MACD bear-corss. Last time the sequential turned bearish was January 20th before another 5% correction, which isn't a lot, but it went further down is the point. Not to say this is a selling range for longs, as the 200 Day MA is closeby as well as local and long-term fib retracement support levels, 21 Week MA etc, but on a Daily scale things are currently looking bearish unless we can return to the neutral range around $9,300.

mostly true but the second weapon is your money management. even if you have a success rate of less than 50 percent of your trades you can be profitable because you have less large winners versus more small losers.

YOU do believe that above. this doesn't mean an other do believe that too. and we should not discuss about what is the truth in TA. every TA guy do believe he is right otherwise he wouldn't do the trade.

but what is the truth in TA is that: the simpler the better.

EDIT: let's check my simple example tomorrow again.

1.) if it will succeed I will say: "I told you so!"

2.) if it won't succeed I will say: "The purpose was just for demonstration!"

Yeh of course that's just my belief, that goes without saying. In fact, I don't always believe I'm right, as I don't execute every trade. Only those I hold conviction in. Hence I believe the price will fall further based on the metrics referenced, but I'm not taking a short trade (or selling long), as I don't see enough short-term confluence at the moment. Weird huh?

but what is the truth in TA is that: the simpler the better.

Agree and disagree. When there is lots of confluence this is the best outlook, when there is a lack of it, it's best to explore deeper to try and understand what's going on.

EDIT: let's check my simple example (reason was just for demonstration) tomorrow again.

1.) if it will succeed I will say: "I told you so!"

2.) if it won't succed I will say: "The purpose was just for demonstration!"

I think if it succeeds your best off maintaining your modesty, if it fails, you can accept that you were wrong.
But hey, do as you please, that's just my opinion remember

Edit: Tomorrow would be likely too early to tell if this the level you are talking about is support (based on the Daily time-frame), unless it moves above recent swing high of course. Likewise, it would also likely be too early to tell if what I believe is correct, until the sequential count is reversed, macd bull-crosses again (ie days later) and/or a return to the previous trading range. If you're trading a different time-frame to your referenced chart then please say however.

"Weird huh?" not really because I do not trade either. just hodl.  

but I'm seriously thinking about to flag my post with "I do not trade according to my analysis. Just hodl, guys! Because less then 10% (or 5% ??) can beat the market constantly via trading."

I trade my published analysis, but not every opinion or belief that I have. For me this would be over-trading  

but I'm seriously thinking about to flag my post with "I do not trade according to my analysis. Just hodl, guys! Because less then 10% (or 5% ??) can beat the market constantly via trading."  

I only trade with upto 10-15% of my holdings, so yeh there is that factor, as well as taking profits in satoshis rather than fiat

lol, I am a hypothetical short term trader not a hypothetical swing trader. tomorrow EOD in profit or not!?

2.) if the daily close will be below the support line the probability is less than 50 percent that the price will rise again the next day.

so, "my" support line is at $9135.0 (Bitstamp). you can see it in the screenshot of the "bitstamp" data with daily candle of "DATE: 2020-02-02" and daily low of "L: 9135.0".




TO DO according to my trading rules:

1.) if the today daily close (UTC) is above 9135.0 I will BUY on a Deribit DEMO account.

2.) if the today daily close (UTC) is below 9135.0 I will SELL on a Deribit DEMO account.

btc slowly dropping is probably because everyone buying TSLA. I'm hodling both

 Blimey!

what's the rumor behind, this time?

Panasonic, TSLA battery partner is making money from their partnership.
This is crucial because mean they significantly lowered their costs per Kw.
This means TSLA has a HYGE advantage over competitor.

(Bloomberg) --Tesla Inc.’s shares rallied for a fifth day Monday, adding more than $100 per share, as a torrent of good news further boosted investor sentiment.
The stock rose as much as 21% to $786.14, its highest price ever, and the stock’s best intraday gain since May 2013.

Earlier today, Panasonic Corp., which makes batteries for Tesla at its jointly operated battery plant in Nevada, said the business turned profitable in the quarter ended Dec. 31. The rapid increase in Tesla’s output helped push that business into the black, Panasonic Chief Financial Officer Hirokazu Umeda told reporters in Tokyo on Monday, declining to give specific figures.

TSLA reaches Bitcoin parity!


Tesla Reaches Bitcoin Parity, Overtakes PayPal

Tesla has been bitcoining, up and up since late October when its price of $250 slowly rose to $500 to then nearly double since the 30th of January to now $900.

This has given the electronic car manufacturer a market cap of circa $165 billion, around the same as that of bitcoin, and quite a bit higher than PayPal’s $140 billion and higher than that of Netflix’s $160 billion in addition to it being higher than any other car manufacturer.

Looks like it's a short squeeze.
Same thing happened to Porsche (why always aut osector stocks?) a couple of years ago.
