Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion

[keewee]

The strange thing is that the last time he said anything like this was "Large movement possible soon. Guess the direction." on Dec 14. Then between Dec 16 and Dec 18 the price fell from about 900 down to 450. That's a pretty decent dump so I'm surprised you didn't make a killing on it

Edit: beaten to it  

Note that he doesn't say anything concrete in his posts.  That's so he can weasel out of people calling him on his BS.  Much like a palm reader.  My hunch is if he wasn't just pulling that Dec 14 advice out of his ass, he had inside info on Chinese regulation.  He doesn't move the markets.  Governments, businesses and sentiment move markets.  But that won't stop him from making people think he does.

Loaded has pretty consistently give advanced warning of sharp movements but no-one should take anything said in here as gospel. At the end of the day everyone has to make their own decisions and in this case hyphymikey made a bad call. I know how he feels because it sucks when it happens. I've made a similar call in the past but luckily I was only trading a small percentage of my coins so the damage wasn't so bad

Yeah, the last dump he warned us of did not happen.

It did happen. look at vertical line and date. Few day later we were at 455$.

Large movement possible soon. Guess the direction.

No he posted more recently than this. A week or so ago.

3852 pages of people telling you how to lose all your bitcoin by trading.

Well done, you got me!

To be fair, many of us did tell you all to HODL!


Honestly just hold everything you can, who needs to gamble? 5,000% yearly returns should be good enough.

It's 0% return if you don't cash out.
That's the beauty of bitcoin. It's a self stabilizing system until more than 10% decide to cash out.

"Cashing out" is a relative term ... for those of us who felt imprisoned by the fiat monetary system, buying BTC was our "cashing out" moment.

P.S. ... are you, btw, the good Sir Richard?

Tomorrow there will be a weekend low and that will be the best time to buy. Next week will test new levels of resistance.

Brave words...I'll make a note.

Please do. I haven't been wrong about a specific call I've posted on here yet.

Hey, Windy!
Just wanted to remind you about your prediction: so much for the weekend low eh?

Good grief. I said I thought we would have a slight dip. We did not. I apologize for being wrong. Is that ok? Do you need me to do something else like castrate myself publically or something? What would you like from me, exactly? It think it would be better for both of us if you just ignored my posts.

I actually thought about going back and doing a chart of the last six months, comparing weekend performance to weekday performance to "prove" the theory that weekend perform less well on whole. But I just don't have an extra couple of hours to do this.

Meanwhile I am 100% btc and have been for a while so I am happy as a lark that we didn't dip.

Hey, don't take yourself so seriously.  

You post definitive statements and back them up with things like "I'm never wrong" then you set yourself up for a fall....no?

As Hyphymikey's posts show, people can take what is said here seriously and base their investment strategies on users comments.  And its life that we are often drawn to those with confidence in their beliefs.  So, if you (tu) demonstrate such confidence about everything you say, its only fair that others point out that you are not infallible and indeed as often incorrect as correct.

Peace,
Nan

I agree that people take others posts seriously. It's scary actually. I hope noone will take my posts as gospel. I don't post with an agenda like some do, but I am wrong sometimes.

However, I also get annoyed from time to time with what is a degrading overall forum experience and that causes me to sometimes come across as more "definite" or "absolute" than I am.

My opinions about the market change on a daily basis depending on a large set of factors. I have no problem switching from bear to bull to bear if circumstances change.

Gox 1060 wall... poof

I can't believe that people actually do that. Nobody has ANYTHING to gain by giving the world advance notice of their trading intentions. The best thing to do is either ignore, or do the opposite of what large holders claim they will be doing in the near future.

A fool and their money...

P.S. ... are you, btw, the good Sir Richard?

I'm not good. I will take your bitcoin and your fiat

Yeah, I actually think this is one of the most bearish parts of the graph right now. It's very unusual. The next 48 hours will be interesting.

Umm... is mtgox frozen or just me?
