Where are the BCH boyz ? They seem quiet lately
CCMF !No, wait, they got it wrong I guess ... The whale game isn’t over yet. BCH difficulty is currently going into the ground and the new DAA has a throttling mechanism that stops it rising quickly when a large amount of hash power is applied. I recommend taking defensive positions in your portfolio. I predict more fireworks timed for the weekend.

I appear to have mastered the art of selling low and buying high...
it´s the other way around, but i have to admit, it´s not easy ! Even though a lot of people do seem to have a kind of gambling mindset (maybe myself included). When I talk to people in these forums and even in real life, I find that people kind of gravitate towards all or nothing thinking, but if they really focus on buying as the price goes down and then selling as the price goes up, then buying low and selling high (which is the correct way to do it) just falls into place. So personally, I believe it is just a matter of exercising discipline and putting into practice a kind of buying on the way down and selling on the way up and attempting a sort of incrementalism (rather than all or nothing) thinking, and then the not so easy gets trained into you through practice and discipline.. that has been my outcome... and thank you bitcoin for going up in price through out this past two year period to help me out into being successful in various regards and to cause (not selling too much) to pay off really well for me. a kind of sentimental "happy sad" but true. JJG, I'd like to thank you. I've taken a small part of my BTC stash to trade regularly using more or less a version of your laddered buys and sells. It has solved some of my problems of trying to figure out how I want to trade BTC. It takes the thought out of it, and certainly the emotion, which is a killer in trading. With all the fuddery, flamery, and FOMO in here sometimes, it's still a great place to share information and ideas and learn from each other even if we all don't agree on everything (or anything!)

Not a new idea, but maybe it works, and was just overlooked

Well normally Bitcoin would look a little overbought here, and mild correction would come. But Bitcoin is honey badger. Let's see what happens.

Off-topic, but... https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Bitcoin"the best part about bitcoins is that you get to watch libertarians slowly discover why financial regulations exist to begin with" —@porn_horse [...] Thousands of servers churning all day long so that people can play an online currency trading simulation. [...] The moral of the story: In a gold rush, the money's in selling shovels. Cash up front, please. (Unless you're Butterfly Labs, in which case the shovel-sellers are crooks too.) Pretty biased, but had a few good laughs.

Shovel - 1860: $0.96 c Shovel - 2017: $6.00 Gold - 1860: $20.67/oz. Gold - 2017: $1280/oz. I don't think shovels were the better long term investment though.

But shovels were in major demand while Gold was not necessarily found.

You are? Once upon a time, I bought some LTC at $20, then sold it the next day at $40. It was luck and timing. (Well maybe I paid a little attention back then.)

(Well maybe I paid a little attention back then.) naw, surely you jest...thou..come to think of it buying and holding works for me too...then again Jamie Dimon says it will all go to zero $$$ soon.. thus if I ever do sell any coin (of any real note) I WILL DOOM ALL OF CRYPTO! (cursed, I am, damn it!) So the only 'selfless thing' that I can do (since 2013) is HODL ....so you guys don't suffer the consequences of me selling.....(it would be the crypto apocalypse!) trust me, its true....for everyone time I sell some for miner or other expenses.......well...you know 'the curse' returns...if I sold the works, again I would doom us all! (my am I a fine fellow or what ...looking out for you all)

Shovels can haul more dirt than forks, because forks have a lot of empty space in them.
These days, I'll probably use a backhoe.

It was real, it was ... December 2013 and January 2014 ... and it was on BTC-e. But my trade was small enough not to be noticed, only about $2000 USD worth at that time. People were going crazy over LTC, so I decided to buy some, with the intention to HODL.. When it doubled, I sold it all ... it kept going a little bit higher after that, maybe up to $50 or $60, then ... well, history. I think I might buy some just to HODL, Charlie Lee is an interesting fellow and people like him.

Hi,
Can anyone please tell me why bitcoin rise is so strong and pushing for new all time high?
As i know the segwit2X Hard fork is cancelled. Is there something i'm missing?
CME and Wall Street, BCH failure, public awareness and adoption, etc This strong rise has been on the cards for a while And people selling their free BTG and Bitcore coins.
