Tom Lee gets it:

Fundstrat's Tom Lee says he's a buyer of the bitcoin pullback, now sees more than 35% gains from here
https://www.cnbc.com/2017/12/22/fundstrats-tom-lee-says-hes-a-buyer-of-the-bitcoin-pullback.html

And hey Tom, I bought that dip too! Nailed it at $11,500.

Hm, I'm a bit envious. I started higher, two increasing chunks on falling prices and then more at 12k. Ready for just a little bit moar around 11k. Any ballpark suggestion for a limit buy order while I'm out for a beer?

Creation of fiat is neccessary because they amount of goods, services, and people are constantly growing. If there was no new fiat, fiat would be deflationary and then nobody would spend it - only hoard it like bitcoins.

this



Does anyone remember computers? You used to have your money set aside to buy a computer...you go to the store and buy one, then a month later you find out that the same computer money has more value now, the computer you have is worth a lot less and you could have something better...if only you didn't spend that money on the computer and waited.

I guess the ad geniuses didn't think that through when they came up with those gizmos.

That was a wonderful time. Things just kept getting better all the time.

Then one day I saw a pink laptop, and I knew the age of constant rapid improvement was over.

it seems that I am making way more money with $850 to $1,000 increments than I was making with smaller increments,

I would suggest that your touchy-feely analysis is just plain wrong.

you seem to be pointing out that you have been taking some breaks from trading

Yes. The 'breaks' are motivated not by time matters, but rather that in a bull market any such trading will tend to make you fiat-rich and crypto-poor. Accordingly, I trade only when I want fiat. Of course, this last two weeks being a rather large episode, I need to plan a way to gracefully wind it down.

when my increments are larger, I seem to end up leaving less money on the table when the price out runs me

You've not seen much of my sell side. Price does not outrun me.

O.k.   Fair enough with your touchy feely response. 

I do understand that taking a break could pay off, when the price seems rather bullish, but certainly it seems that if you are taking a break you are going from one extreme to another, and perhaps we are using the different words to describe a similar strategy, because to you taking a break may be that you spread your sell orders out to $1k or something like that and you do no set any of your buy orders until you are clear that there is an actual dip... which may almost result in a very similar outcome as mine.

Anybody else feel like you are the only human on an exchange full of bots?

It's like they know I'm the only one the way they snuggle right up next to my order and then go roaring back off the direction they came.

It's time to launch the Chaturbate of exchanges so you can see all the trader faces on livestreams. It would be like a poker game with the occasional tossing of cookies.

That would bring new meaning to the term “order spoofing”

[txtravwill]

Seems Asia is waking up and Bitfinnex is rising, both justifying and catching up with US GDAX and Gemini exchanges.  They had a $1K variance for a while.  Pushing them up also though.  16k seems like a sure thing now...

lol yes. its happening to me time to time,but its not the rule. sometimes price turns before my order, but sometimes it triggers it and turns after that, or continues in its original direction.
my orders are small though. im far far away from being a whale

God, I'm so sick of people who are supposed to be intelligent just lying their asses off and making up nonsense to try and hide the fact it's not possible to create a decentralized digital currency.  Take this picture for instance. If what miners do don't matter at all, then what the fuck are miners being paid for? LOL.  He's basically saying mining is for distribution only while a shadowy group of authoritarian technocrats are supposed to run the system behind the scenes.  Even if you believe that, mining is completely centralized by like...one guy...so that's also completely pointless.



Stop lying you fucktards.  It's not possible to create a decentralized digital currency.  You're just making up lies and bullshit to pretend this is not the case.  The closest thing to a decentralized currency on this planet are the noble metals like physical gold, silver, and copper.  If someone corners the market on one, people just start using one of the others.  Bitcoin is not decentralized.  Never has been, never will be.  The only good and righteous option from here is to just admit to people this is all bullshit so the goyim can dump their valueless, imaginary tokens as fast as possible for physical silver or gold and LEAVE GOLDMAN SACHS HOLDING THE BAG.

I hope momma Ver never follows her son's 'progress' online. If she's easily swayed by public opinion she'd run straight out and get her womb shot blasted.

Just found a stack of paper wallets from 2015. I was giving away 0.05 Bitcoi in each and these were the leftovers. It’s a nice find I didn’t know I had it....

Anyone got more of that dip? Need more bitcorn

Depends on where you  live. Wellington is windy and gets a lot of rain, although the city is beautiful. I spent many years working in Wellington and I prefer it over Auckland. Auckland is nice but it has gotten expensive and crowded. Wine country of Hawkes Bay is fantastic.( Napier and Hastings) Great weather, many wineries, great food, fantastic bike riding.

The south island is extremely beautiful. I will be spending some more time there next year. So many great places. I want to go to Lake Tekapo. It is one of our dark sky reserves for seeing the night sky.
 

Was just in NZ yesterday. Well..Aukland airport 

I am in Tahiti now looking for a place.



French passport would suck but hopefully we can do something with a seastead citizenship.

Do you not see anything wrong with this picture?  "CEO of bitcoin.com" vs "CEO of blockstream.com".  That sure as fuck does not sound "decentralized" to me.  It sounds like corporate special interest groups trying to seize some type of public good and exploit it for their own interests.  It also reminds me of African derived banana republics like the nation of Haiti, a completely powerless nation whose military probably serves no purpose at all, but every low level negro in the entire country has given themselves the title of general.

How many geniuses will continue trying to defend the bitcoin narrative as digital gold or layer of decentralized settlement for large financial institutions?

Being a "bitcoin maximalist" really means nothing more than you want to excercise usury against others in practice.  It means you want the entire world to be forced to use a single blockchain (that you of course cornered the market for first) for your own gain.  Nevermind the fact that it's inevitable govts would co-opt it since it's designed to centralize and turn it into a slavery system.  The righteous answer is the standard Ron Paul choice, that there should be a free market and people should be allowed to use whatever as money they want to.  It just so happens the noble metals like gold, silver, copper, etc, have the best objective traits for the task and would inevitably win, due to being impossible to create a digital currency that doesn't completely centralize.
