hey, JJG, you make me blush...i know that you do what you do, but i don't really deserve it (....so much meriiiits).
...if joe007 is here, then I don't know who it is, but I have some ideas, which are probably wrong.
the funny thing is..with all this anonymity you never know who is the whale and who is the minnow, unless they both spell it out, which most people here don't.
I appreciate the speculation regarding whether someone might be a whale or NOT, and surely sometimes some of the members here will volunteer some of their personal details, so there is that.
Probably, it is a lot better to attempt to let the ideas speak for themselves, anyhow, and surely there have been a lot of members here who have developed reputations in accordance with whether they are sharing information and if we believe that their representations are genuine.
I have personally witnessed real world statuses get wielded around here in abusive ways, so I really don't consider that purported real world status to be an indicator that is helpful in figuring out whether some member might have credibility or is attempting to conduct himself/herself genuinely, even though we can witness, sometimes, that some members here do have a quite a bit of real world experience and they don't necessarily try to lord it over any other members.
Let's say, for example, joe007 is here and willing to share some of his BTC trading details (techniques and such), and it ends up that in this last round of trading, he ended up losing around $20 million, but he was still ahead in his trading by $40million, and sure some of that BIG dick waving could be helpful to other members, but I doubt that he is going to be sharing many of the actual details of his techniques, and sometimes people like that are making money by purposefully obfuscating their trading techniques because they might have other things going on, beyond just the straight trade, and I have some doubts about how useful the techniques of a possible whale might be to other members (especially more normie type of people) in a thread like this.
By the way, my own personal style of dealing with my BTC portfolio has been somewhat open, yet my approach does not even attempt to aim at making a lot of money on trading BTC... I do not find that valuable as an end goal for myself... but that might be merely a personal situation, but my more simple aims involve principle preservation attempts, so even if joe007 were to want to tout some of his purported techniques here (to the extent that he was being genuine and not trying to manipulate others), I would likely be a bit hostile to some of the techniques, unless he could make them make sense for regular people. Techniques of whales might NOT really apply to techniques that normies should be trying to employ.
I do understand that it can become a bit more difficult to argue against some techniques that end up being successful, even if I would NOT have employed such techniques myself or even considered the techniques to be prudent to my own style and BTC portfolio management goals.
Are you, Biodom, thinking that any of the possible real world performance matters, such as someone like Joe007, might even involved heavy leveraged shorting or putting capital at risk would be helpful to normies in a thread like this? There might be some other manipulation going on behind the scene too, with some whale traders who are able to be really successful, so I tend to not be too excited about seeing that happen on a live basis, even though sometimes someone with that kind of experience might be able to disclose some of that behind the scenes information and tactics to normies in a thread like this but I doubt that they would and I doubt that they would even share it in a way or in a thread like this that is actually more broadly helpful for others to advantage from such shared knowledge.
By the way, many of us have come to realize that sometimes people (maybe even moreso in cryptolandia) get real rich and are successful in trading, because they are good at manipulating other people, and cryptoland has developed a rich field of targets in this regard... Consider Richard Heart... I hate to bring up a shitcoin pumper, but Heart has been getting a lot of press (attention) recently, and he designed a shitcoin (called Hex) in such a way that causes him to get rich (more rich), no matter what happens, but merely because he is rich (or recently became rich), does not mean that he is actually is someone to learn from or that he is providing helpful information to regular people.
