Its hilarious how quiet this thread goes when the price is rising compared to when it falls $10. Just trolls left = confirmed.

10,000 pages ago there actually were interesting posts where people were really analyzing TA and tossing ideas around. Now the best we have is TL;DR walls of text from concern trolls. Lately they've been coming for /r/bitcoinmarkets too.

It's pretty bad. I'm not going to post any TA unless newbie jail is brought back. This is the most popular thread on the forum and quality posts get shit on day in and day out from these shills with nothing to contribute.

I don't think the newbie jail will change much. These are economically motivated posters who are being allowed to deliberately deface the forum and discredit bitcoin in any way possible. They state openly they want to destroy bitcoin and then proceed to do everything in their (limited) power to bring that about. Posters that have previously been banned from the forum (Atlas and Goat spring to mind) were orders of magnitude less offensive (I found both quite entertaining and interesting tbh).

These guys are just cretins who have zero to contribute, their 'criticisms' are the usual baseless lies, FUD and misinformation that have been thoroughly refuted here over 4 years ago, yet all they do is repeat the same ad nauseum (a tool of propaganda). I've seen exactly the same modus operandi on other investing sites, which apparently bitcointalk has become in parts, and they will destroy this forum if they are allowed to run amok as they have been so far. They should have been banned long ago ... theymos and mods need to grow a backbone and realise what is happening, and soon.

In the end, censorship by the government is always the solution.
I knew it.

Hmm...Censorship

I think marcus is right...  

But It is not censorship the thread/forum needs but reasoned moderating, I like a joke as much as the next guy, but...... there is the obvious is obvious trolling, aggressive, insult hurling trolling, constant repetitive trolling. That has got little to do with freedom of speech, that is more like verbal abuse

Honestly newbies are important and their input is important, however in the past if a child disrespected another person there would be consequences, usually resulted in their removal.

Totally.

Come, communicate, contribute, give your thoughts , analysis..

Agree, disagree, argue, counter argue.

Even have a laugh, or a ot chat,  post a meme or two.

Just try not to be a total c unit about it all.

Also, say your thing,  no need to repeat it twenty times a day, and no need for an army of 12 sockmuppets.

It seems the only goal they have is disruption to discourse, because no one really takes them seriously so it is not an effective dis-information campaign.

There are several Bitcoin exchanges in that country, but they don't have enough money worth suing for.

NYSE having some lulz at the 'regulators' expense most likely. It is not even clear in law what 'license' is necessary to trade distributed database rights accessible only by privately held cryptographic keys.

On January 26, 2015, Coinbase announced that it launched the first regulated Bitcoin Exchange in the United States, and that it is licensed to do business in 25 states, including New York and California. Coinbase's statement may have artificially inflated the price of Bitcoins as the cybercurrency rose to $263. However, it was later revealed by New York's Department of Financial Services and California's Department of Business Oversight that Coinbase did not have the licenses necessary to operate as a Bitcoin Exchange in New York or California. Following this announcement, the price of a Bitcoin fell to $233.

If this bunch of jokers gets their panties in a twist over every little 30 dollar pump and dump, they are going to be very busy little beavers.

Funny how they don't worry about stuff like LIBOR or the London gold fix so much...

I think coinbase just didn't grease the right palms and this is just a shakedown for protection money.

Regulation is a joke.

THis is an example of the DISCONNECT between Journalism and reality.

The drop in BTC/USD was not effected in the least by that revelation as this market manipulation btc/usd btc/ltc ltc/cny was pre-planned since the 24th of this month.

Some one put this up however I can't seem to find the posting on bitcointalk.

Not sure how or why more of the Bitcoin community isn't pissed about what Coinbase did.

To me it is so obvious....

I plan on working with any law firm looking to take action against Coinbase.

Nah to make an accurate prediction I suggest you pay attention to the volume on BTC/LTC and LTC/CNY and you will know the reason the BTC/USD is being pushed down.

This is not the effect of BTC holders rushing to the exits but rather exploiters taking advantage of the uncertainty of the market due to market manipulation.

EDIT: when the value of BTC/LTC drops you will see a rise in BTC/USD while the LTC/USD does not go higher.

A simple algorithm can pick this up as well.

Simply review the archived charts and you will see on BTC-e on the 25th a Serious Drop in BTC/LTC prior and the price increase of BTC/USD to the jump from $255 BTC/USD all the while of LTC/USD did not follow the BTC/USD move as it was being kept in place by selling preasure on OKCoin LTC/CNY.

What did they do in your opinion?

I'm to tired to type it out in full with references.

Probably best you build your own opinion on what just happened.

In a nut shell Coinbase Rick Rolled everyone with news that was a flat out lie and generated tons of "buzz" (as Charlie Lee called it) that generated Coinbase huge profits at the expense of fooled customers/bitcoiners alike. 1% and actually buying Bitcoins after the market crashed via customers and huge $50+ dollar swings for the rest of the world. (NYSE tweeted last week they planned on helping Coinbase make the Bitcoin prices more transparent... and Coinbase took that shit to the bank.)

Don't forget that their news help propup LTC/USD LTC/BTC prior to the BTC/USD pump from $255 to $310 while OKCoin kept the LTC/USD at the targeted @$2.3 in an effort to move LTC into BTC and then sell the BTC at a higher USD rate.

If we manage to break $250 BTC/USD then expect to see some frustrated people who were promised sub $200 due to BTC/LTC pumping and dumping.
