You probably don’t want to draw baseline support on that chart Toxic.

Giancarlo really is a secret bitcoiner. Infiltrates the SEC. Blows it up. Much to the consternation of the old guard.

“This is actually mind-boggling that they are allowing investing in this at all,” said Angela Walch, an associate professor who specializes in digital money and financial stability at St. Mary’s University School of Law. “It could absolutely skew their regulatory decisions.”

The CFTC should be trying to regulate digital tokens, not allowing its workers to speculate on them, added Painter, a professor at University of Minnesota Law School. “This just looks terrible.”

Idle musing Hairy beary...  Still a compelling C&H formation maybe. I dont think data past 2014 is especially relevant in todays market. 2 orders of magnitude distort things quite a bit imo. I was just imagining the candles as a stream of fluid..the highs and lows being where pools of bitcoin and fiat meet... The splash patterns fractal entry and exit points.

I did not expect regulators to take this path to regulating themselves into the ground.

Since LotV8 got the shame merit, should we be pointing at him while exclaiming "SHAME"?

It could be interesting if there was a reasonable yearly interest.
Like 10% backed by crypto reserves. Or by 2x undiluted stocks.
Not gonna happen eh?

I guess what it really means is that the staff there have studied the space and are clamouring to invest in proper coin because they understand it's a good idea.

Back inside the perimeter.   Shorts continue to weigh on the market. 

[fragout]

Downtrend line failed to break again. Wedge narrowing with a possible retest of 10K ish. The downtrend line will be around 10800 at the next assault. Either way I think a move out of this range is close. Whether it's to the upside or downside, I don't know but i am leaning upside

Probably irrelevant, but here's a fresh AMA by Bill and Melinda Gates on Reddit.
I haven't read it, and don't think I will in the near future.
A page search for "bitcoin" yielded nothing, but I didn't bother searching for "crypto" or other related terms.

The main feature of crypto currencies is their anonymity. I don't think this is a good thing. The Governments ability to find money laundering and tax evasion and terrorist funding is a good thing. Right now crypto currencies are used for buying fentanyl and other drugs so it is a rare technology that has caused deaths in a fairly direct way. I think the speculative wave around ICOs and crypto currencies is super risky for those who go long.

Aahh... so THAT was the source. Thanks for straightening me out, BTCMILLIONAIRE.

(Super-OT - Fentanyl is indeed a serious issue. If they just didn't bunch lethal opioids with mostly harmless stuff when writing laws or answering AMAs... but sorry I digress.)

My prediction: we are about to shoot up

[arvindjais1234]

It has been happened, as now government is keenly watching the activities of cryptocurrencies and are not in favour of people to earn money. Now, it's a demise of Bitcoin.
