Last Week

So think about that, HODL, and BTFD

How low is this going to go, I wish people would man the fuck up & stop selling at th 1st sign of what looks like bad news.

They're not though. The whales bought up everything between 7.5K and 19k. They're literally dumping and shorting into their own bid walls. Average Joes aren't fast enough on the trigger (unless they are stop loss selling).

This is so transparent it is laughable.

The timing is pretty over the top...they really think we are that stupid...I suppose that fact in and of itself is a tradable data point.

Why won't they sell, if they can buy back later at a much cheaper price ?
people are treating btc as an investment, they want to make money, and cashout, no one treats btc as payment system, they don't care if it eventually succeeds or fails.

It's gonna be pretty laughable when the opposite of what they expect happens, and their shorts get squeezed to hell from incoming buyers trying to BTFD.

Also, do they really think people don't know legal due process? A subpoena is nothing, no action happens immediately. You can lawyer up and kick the can on shit like that for months or even years.

Are you even paying attention?

Have you heard of lightning network?  Of course, some of it is already being experimented upon... it could take many years before it is microtransacting on the level of visa... but it is in the works.

Also, you mention that you want to send big amounts of bitcoin around, and you know that the problem is not with big amounts, because in terms of percentage it is not bad, especially if you are getting into the several thousand dollars arena.

Finally, fees are low currently and transaction times are fast currently.

I just looked in my blockchain.info wallet, and it is showing $.12 for regular fees and $2.02 for priority.  Seems fairly reasonable to me, and you could take advantage of these low fees if you want to move money around, at this time.

I have heard of lightning network but its only segwit adresses I'm able to use currently to alleviate fees, I'm just talking about the reality of the situation and how that feeds back into market demand.   Of course I want them to advance the capability of crypto far more then it is now especially for micro transactions, until its usable we are all speculating perhaps a little too much and hence the price pulls back to a more steady area.

I'm pretty sure all my transactions are micro!   I'm not a whale sadly, if fees have fallen to $2 then thats way more realistic for most people to use BTC.    I swear they recently halved, I'll check the graph site I have bookmarked and post the fee structure/backlog as I think its relevant



I dont want to spike the guys site with traffic, pm if you want a link as he gives a few dynamics

"We routinely receive legal process from law enforcement agents and regulators conducting investigations," Bitfinex and Tether said in a statement to Bloomberg. "It is our policy not to comment on any such requests."

Tether is only 2.3 billion in a market of more than 500 billion.

Think about it for a minute.

Think about 2.3 Billion of liquidity is going to be removed from 10 billion...
Think about that 20 Million $ can move the market by 5-10%, then a 2.3 Billion Market order (in the worst case) will move bitcoin where?

Now that Bitcoin is gaining tracking traction by the old boy's expect to see more of these overlooked Loopholes plugged.

My only advice is to avoid exchanges that don't comply with common sense rules that crack down on fraud and other "market" exploits such as insider trading.

I blame the exchanges for the Tether nonsense.

They could have listed a genuine trustless, market backed fiat proxy such as BitUSD which would have been far more reliable and bullet proof than some corporate emperor's clothes crap like tether.

Tether is not intended to be speculative. There's supposed to be $2.3B actual fiat backing it.

vs crypto "market cap", which is hugely speculative. It's not an actual valuation, it's simply supply x price.

So yes, the collapse of Tether could have a hugely disproportionate effect on the whole crypto market if it's backed by little to nothing.

Tether might be a scam, quick sell your bitcoin for Tether! /bitfinexTraders

EDIT: I suppose you could transfer the tethers to an exchange that offered USD/USDT trading...  If the market is actually concerned about tether it is on that pair we should see panic selling I would imagine... current USD price on kraken at time of this post: $0.9899
