Enjoy it while it lasts bulls.

Cause this bear market is far from over. I kinda agree with masterluc prediction of one more year of slow and painful descend.
Do you say that just because it happened the last year?

No, I am saying that because this is very inefficient market and the bubble didn't deflate yet.

How is it inefficient? And how does that push the price down?

EDIT: Hard to trust Tarmi as a clever bear trader when he rents out his signatur to a casino company. Maybe that is his business model? Lol  Grin

With other commodities and stocks, often everything happens from the same accounts. Bitcoins are often tied up offline, some are buried in mining activity. There are barriers and non-trivial risks to having everything up for sale at a certain price. This makes the spot price somewhat inefficient in reacting to market changes.

This in itself won't push the price down, it's more of a tailwind. The headwind is the unwinding of a bubble that started in the mid $1xx, and 3600 coins a day being minted. Increasingly, minted by big industrial farms with industrial size costs.

This doesn't make any sense to me. Sorry  Wink

Nothing is more funny to a bull than the OKcoin bear that got margin called today for 31,000 BTC/3 million dollars. His wife is gonna kill him.


No kidding, this guy was slaughtered on the alter of doom and it was a major shot across the bow of the bearmobile. If it can happen to this guy, it could happen to anyone. Wink

His mistake was not the shorting, it was the insane leverage he used. Also you don't know how often it worked for him... he might be well in the green in aggregate.

This can happen to anyone with highly leveraged positions, yes. Not just bears.

OKcoin futures now above market price for OKcoin spot price, Bitstamp and Coinbase!

Haven't seen that for a while.

Edit:

At the time of post it was higher.  OKcoin spot is now higher.

You need to have some guts to go 10x leverage with $3 mill tho, gotta give him that.

Funny thing is, imagine all those who got all their low bids filled because of his margin call only to see it shoot up $10 a second later.

So it has the effect of clearing the order books in both directions?
