Eh, it will go to 6502 and get stuck. Again.

i agree with you , 6000 usd per btc can be easily for short terms

You have to be ready to buy, friends

Huge resistance at 6k surely? Our support for so long.
So many latecomers who bought at 6-6.5k will be happy to take a small loss.

[JayJuanGee]

In the midst of this despair, I just wanted to surface the observation that anybody who has been holding bitcoin for more the thirteen months is in the green.

That is all.

I would like to say that you and your buddies caused all of this, but that would not be accurate.. because if they did anything, they exacerbated a preexisting condition... so in that regard, I would not be genuine if I were really blaming anyone personally for things that happen, including both extreme things and things that are a bit beyond expectations (while still being within a reasonable realm of what could happen).

TLDW: We're going to $4,000-$4,500

No chance. We’re at the bottom now. I’m buying right now and will keep buying all the way back to $6,500.

I like your hypothesis better, QuestionAuthority, but the others have kind of substantiated their view with external TA or with their own arguments. Why do you think the bottom is in? Please share.

I'd also love to hear a contrarian opinion, like Tera's. Alas, (s)he's not here anymore.

I wish the hopium you guys have was worth something because I would be buying it. The same type of logic that said we would not be going below $6k, yet here we are. Just because you don't understand what TA is, doesn't mean that your opinion holds any weight.

Keep clinging to your stance. I will keep buying all the way down to ~$2200.

If you are so smart, PoolMinor, then 1) you gotta be really richie and 2) why would you buy all the way down to $2,200 rather than just waiting for $2,200 and buy at that seemingly "inevitable" BTC price point?  Does not make sense to buy "all the way down."  Did you misspeak about your supposed BTC buying plan?

If you are so smart, PoolMinor, then 1) you gotta be really richie and 2) why would you buy all the way down to $2,200 rather than just waiting for $2,200 and buy at that seemingly "inevitable" BTC price point?  Does not make sense to buy "all the way down."  Did you misspeak about your supposed BTC buying plan?

As a long term trader I think you would have a reasonable idea as to why to buy all the way down. If you don't understand, sorry, I don't have time to enlighten you at this time.

Unless you know how to check this yourself you might want to wait with the conclusions until some more people who can check this have.

I guess we'll have to wait for a few more misplaced commas before we can be sure.

I am not asking from my perspective, I am asking from your perspective based on your assertion of supposed wisdom about 1) other peeps in this thread filled with too much hopium and 2) your assertion that BTC prics are going down to $2,200. 

So my questions are not about what I think, but instead asking you about what you think, why and what you are doing about it, and instead of attempting to respond, you just diverted into putting such burden on me - when my outlook seems to be different from yours and the reason for my approach seems to be different from yours, too - even if we might happen to be following a similar strategy.  Furthermore, I do not have any strong presumptions that the BTC price is going down, and I especially think that any targeting of $2,200 would be quite pie in the sky, even though there is a chance that such price could happen.. maybe less than 5% (concedingly that such odds of $2,200 are a bit higher now as compared with last week, but they still remain pretty low, in my humble bumble opinion).

Don't go too far with your seeming attempts at nonsense openmindedness concerning the identity of Satoshi, Torque.

Surely, Satoshi was far from perfect, but to concede that his level of either sloppiness or bullshitedness was even close to the pig troughs of Craig Wright seems to allow for way too much "openmindedness" that is hardly supported by any kind of evidence at all, besides pie in the sky conspiracy-theory numerology type evidence.   

[Syke]

We now have another faketoshi on Twitter:

https://twitter.com/satoshi/status/1063516638870478848

This is Craig Wright, pretending to be Satoshi again. Apparently, he managed to sign a message with Hal Finney's private key, somehow. (Edit: or he might've pulled up an old Hal Finney signature)

The scuttlebutt is that he signed it in a non-standard way, kind of like when he "signed" a message as Satoshi to convince Gavin that he's Satoshi.

This is the real mystery, the @satoshi twitter handle "Joined May 2018". How in the world did squatters not nab that one earlier?

And yeah, without a publicly released signed message signed with the private key from block 0, he's not Satoshi. It's that simple.

I wasn't even coming close to inferring that CSW could be Satoshi, JJG. That's what you mistakenly read in my post. CSW is a straight up con-man, a fraud.

I was simply saying that who Satoshi is or was, no longer matters, nor should it for Bitcoin to be successful. Just like if Linus Torvalds were to exit the Linux project, or die tomorrow, it's continued development wouldn't suffer a bit. Especially because he tends to be an asshole anyway.

Coding is mostly grunt work. If Satoshi came up with the general idea himself the credit goes largely to him. Turning preconceived things into code is the easier part.


I do agree that it's irrelevant where Satoshi is now regarding Bitcoin's success. Once an idea is out in the wild it will prevail, given that it's good enough in the first place.

Seems like Craig did PhD in handling multiple Twitter accounts, not in Computer Science.

Also what about the fact that satoshi himself said something like BCH would be a bad idea? https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=195.msg1611#msg1611

would be nice to freeze me in on my AGE as i am now and just release me @2021-ish at my AGE of now and just see where i'm standing .....
wouldn't that be a nice move

Would be best to not grow old at all.

Damn this universe and its tick-tockery.

No chance. We’re at the bottom now. I’m buying right now and will keep buying all the way back to $6,500.

I wouldn't be too eager to buy. We'll probably need a new round of consolidation before the next bull run commences, and who knows what level that will occur at.

I do agree that it's irrelevant where Satoshi is now regarding Bitcoin's success. Once an idea is out in the wild it will prevail, given that it's good enough in the first place.

My overall general understanding of the situation was that Satoshi had largely already coded bitcoin by the time that he released the whitepaper in September 2008, and surely there were some tweaks to the code before he began running the code live on January 3, 2009.  I think that the generally accepted story is that Satoshi was not really a great coder, which caused needs for a considerable number of tweaks - however, also, since there was ongoing attempts to continue to learn after the software went live, there had always been analogy suggestions that the fixing of bitcoin was like performing improvements and repairs on an airplane that continued to fly, and the repairs/maintenance were always necessary on an ongoing basis, but they were never so eggregious that the plane had to be landed (even though there may have been a few close calls), but the plane has been allowed to grow and really open to the participation of almost anyone to contribute to the project who shared goals to attempt to keep the plane flying and to attempt to improve its performance while at the same time, perhaps shutting out folks who expressed desires to either crash the plane or to undermine the plane in various ways.  So surely you are correct, BTCMILLIONAIRE, that the flying of the plane has become much BIGGER than satoshi.. because maybe when he started working on it, it was a 1 engine propeller plane, but it has become much more with the passage of time.

Edit: Astargath seems to have addressed some of what I am saying with his reference to satoshi's post.  Thanks for that link (and thread) Astargath:

finished the CRYPTO get together hosted by my friend..... very special but i think i'm the only one that mentioned the price drop we had lately..... like in here nobody even worried .....? maybe they just don't have actual BTC? ? haha no it was very chill had a good laugh, drunk F***ing much so good weekend start after this weekend of drama, out of 20-25-ish people 3 real hardcore traders all saying or predicting the bottom would be no LOWER as 4k-ish..... could be 3k in their opinion but most likely NOT
some there thought it was in now after a asked or talked about it
but i sensed a real honeybadger feeling in there this evening.... all long term BULLISH guy's.
had some nice talks with interesting peoples etc .....
7-ish menu of small food things, good gin's-wines-etc what more do we need after a ruff week of BTC

could be many wrong english writings but when my body is intoxicated.... please don't mind me @ all ....

good night WO, crawling into the HODLcave as we speak

Edit: espicially when i’m drunk ..... but the Guy that brought his laptop and wanna show me his long term vision
(+-50k 2021-2022) <—— always good but same as most safe predictions predict.....
He did sold everything @+-14k-ish and was saying to everyone how right he is.... @this moment he’s buying the DIP and got orders —> 4500—>4250–>4000—>3800 please do not trigger anymore of those orders and leave that greedy sucker behind ......
(The btc hat was of this Guy)

In here i just introduced myself as a CHILL hodler yeah just not much more to say i guess

Yup. Good thing that all the innovation that Satoshi gave us was in economics, game theory, and protocol, rather than simple software execution.

Your observation is akin to criticizing Hemingway's output based upon his penmanship.

[yefi]

Anyhow, I may as well repeat here that I tend to suck when it comes to predicting anything beyond perhaps making an attempt at one leg, but even then if you can get me much off of a 50/50 prediction, then I am feeling confident.. so I am a bit more inclined towards BTC UP, now... at least getting us back to the $6,500 territory in the coming week or so...

A 100% retrace back to $6500 in a week would be a hugely bullish signal at this point. A sort of Silk Road bust event that would cement the bottom.  I doubt it myself, but been in this game long enough to know anything is possible.
