Self-Custody is a right. Say no to "non-custodial"

i see dumps on the way....

PUMPY!!!!!!!

Maybe you are a reverse indicator?   Tongue Tongue

Yesterday, you were here pumping (within the job description of your namesake?).. right before the dump... now you are dumping... hm?  Is it looking good for a breakout, or are we in a fake out?

Like I said in my earlier post, I don't think that we should worry either way because we seem to be in the high side of our current price range..., which seems to be $3600 to $4500 - ish... .. so when you say dump, are you saying that we are going below $3600 or that we are just moving around within the current price range?   Roll Eyes

are you high?




That does not seem like a reasonable conclusion.

Your response comes off as a personal, rather than substantive response, no?

In other words, I am not high, except perhaps my excitement regarding bitcoin's performance for the whole year...

We are in 4x to 5x territory for the calendar year, so I have been feeling pretty good about that for several months... actually, I even felt pretty good while we were floating around in the $1800s to $2900s for several months from May to August.

So, yeah, I'm feeling pretty good.  I am feeling pretty good.    Tongue




go back and check the price on the day i said it was going up...it went up all the way till today! 


O.k.  Maybe you are just forgetful? 

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=178336.msg22304339#msg22304339

A couple of days ago, you posted some kind of excitement about buying on the dips while the price was going up.. .and sure I responded to your seeming deception, and then now your attempt to recharacterize the substance of your posts.


now im saying i feel a dump... and i prob will be right...again...



Yeah.. a non-specific post about a dump that is coupled by various recharacterizations of the substance of what you said (or what you meant) is going to have a better than average chance of being right... especially if you keep repeating the same thing over and over until it becomes correct, and then you say:  "see, I told you"  hahahahaha... in other words... let me provide an image for you>>>>>  Roll Eyes


im not a bullshitter perma bull like you, we have uptrends and downtrends...learn to accept that.


Oh my!!!!! more personal attacks and attempts at pigeon-holing and false characterizations.  Can't really take these kinds of comments too seriously, right?




please stop feeling the urge to reply to everyone one of my comments, im not quoting them to you.



Oh, so now you are feeling analyzed?  and perhaps stalked?   I can do what I want, and really, your nonsense posts seem to kind of stand out, to the extent that they don't get deleted for being so obviously disingenuous, right? 

O.k.  sure, you are able to slip in a few seemingly quasi-substantive posts, here and there, between your pumping of ripple or some other random shitcoin with your anti-bitcoin misinformation propaganda tour on some random alt thread...  Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy


i dont read your pointless walls of text...


Why does it matter to me whether you read my posts, or not? 

Really, I doubt that you are even willing to engage with the substance of a large majority of my posts anyhow.  You are not really hear to share information or interact, and you seem to have given away your principle purpose through your choice of your name, right? 

I can assert something kind of positive and that is your name and your actions seem to be fairly consistent.   Wink   



and when i do visit this thread i usually skip all your comments, as they just drown out the sensible guys voices here.
 Smiley


Is that why you wrote me a PM a few months back asking me if I missed you?  hahahahhahaha  Either you troll publicly or you troll through various PMs.. whatever.. If you use one of your other sock puppet accounts, then maybe you can be more effective, perhaps?  Maybe you could try to redeem your soul by making a new sock puppet, and name it "I'm gonna try to tell the truth this time"  Maybe that name is too long, but you get the idea, right?   Wink

The point being that even with strength of 18/00 and a bag of holding, you can only carry so much coin around with you.  Not to mention that it makes you a really fat target.  
So the use of commodities money like silver and gold pretty much leads to the invention of banking, hawala, and consequently lending and fractional reserve system.

Just try to carry around 15~20 kg of silver or gold around with you, like a monster box of 500 Eagle or Maple around for a week and see what happens.  I have done so and it is quite enlightening.
You can immediately see why people want to store this somewhere and not want to carry it around for trade.  It is far easier to to get that "Letter of Credit" and present it to the local branch of some banking serve for delivery of goods at the port rather than haul so much metals around.  

Naturally with "custodial" banking, it does not take a genius to start lending out these "dead weight money" with some sort of fractional reserve system and try to make some money on the side.  

Edit.  This does not mean that some genius won't find a way to start a credit system with crypto, like Ripple is trying to do.  You could have an IOU system build on top of PoW crypto using BTC as reserve.

While a partial reserve system could be built atop crypto, unlike with PMs, there is no incentive for someone to accept such derivatives. Yes, carrying your gold or silver around with you all the time can be an imposition. Which is probably the primary force that gave rise to partial reserve systems.

In contrast, it is no easier to hold crypto derivatives than it is to hold the crypto itself (i.e. the private keys). As such, absolutely no incentive for owners to accept a derivative IOU in lieu of the real thing.

As an aside, since nothing is happening and we are bored, let's have a little philosophical kerfluffle. What is the difference between genius and insanity?

Answer:

How much money they can make for their ideas.

Good point. See: Tesla vs. Edison.
One of these two was a good businessman, and the other is still regarded as a kook.

Kook? I'm quite happy I don't travel in your circles.

(Note: one of these guys actually has a fundamental SI unit named after him. The other one's name has been used for a form of plug.)

And it's good.

Who sold at the bottom?
Lmao, I wonder how many traders got rekt in the last couple weeks. This is gold. Anyway how many of you guys are still alive? Bear you there?
I don't see how traders could get rekt. Sell at the top, buy at the bottom. Pit pat piffy. There's no trick to it.

I just don't know.

Pick a small % (somewhere between 5 and 20%) and a starting price.  Every time price doubles from your starting price, sell your chosen percent.  Use a spreadsheet to pick the percent that gives you a mix of fiat and btc you can live with, assuming the wildest valuation you can think of, then stick with it.  If you have spare fiat, buy a fixed $ (or euro, or whatever) amount every week.  Then relax and enjoy the ride.

Is an awesome choice. Well, that is what i do lol.

Besides that, I put an stop sell limit order of a small amount on that point (5% of my total stack, i dont like to be greedy) when the price doubles from the buy, and then i try to predict when to sell it. If I could sell before price went down filling the limit order, then try to buy the dip Grin. I take the profits in btc or fiat, then i put another time the sell order at the same point when possible. And repeat the game Smiley

I hit my personal goals in 6 more doublings at a 10% rake,  I've already been through more doublings than that so, while optimistic, it does not seem "wildly" so.

I hear you. But the landscape is changing. With all these forks there's an insidious kind of inflation happening. Bitcoincash, Bitcoingold...and now the big guns with Segwit2x. Doesn't that skew the math a bit in your mind?
