bitcoin is funny.
you know it is going to climb so hard it makes you dizzy. you know it. then it happens and yet again and you get dizzy.
you know that between now and new ath there is a lot of gut wrenching corrections. you expect them. then they happen and you are yet again gut wrenched. a 20% daily gain turning into a loss is not the usual investors game.
guys like boblaw have gained and lost millions in the last 24h
I respect successful day traders who can scalp a living. Me, I prefer medium to long term trades lasting months to years. You will never be able to predict exact turning points, but identifying a trend and taking a position is not that hard. You just need a piece of the trend, don't get greedy. So far bitcoin has well rewarded the large majority of long term holders.

But imagine millions of people living in tiny things like that, just shitting wherever. Golden Gate Park? Nice try, but no. There is a map of san-fran with a little brown dot for every place human poop has been found. The entire fucking city is one brown blob. It's not just the park. I have a good friend who lives on Lincoln, right across the street from the park. He walks out to his truck in his goulashes and changes his shoes before climbing behind the wheel... No fucking joke. Believe me I'm familiar with the capitol of liberal cesspools. I live in the county just north of the city, were the rich liberals live, and don't tolerate plebe poop in the streets. I'm one of the 7 registered Not Democrats in the whole fucking county. Yes. You are crazy. It keeps me from going insane. notbad prediction in the end! Even a blind squirrel finds a nut now and again.

WTH happened at Coinbase? I see they are back online now.
Pro never hiccupped. Not for me, anyhoo. Meanwhile on cryptocurrency subreddit: -This always happens!! -Tried to cash in but no luck!!!! -How convenient! It's almost like they know they can take your money and you have no recourse!!! Wonder how many 2017 newcomers still use coinbase front end like an exchange?

This made me laugh. Good on ya. HODL BTW congrats on becoming hero!
Thanks. I became hero just before the change. I post much less now, so no chance to get merit. I have basically the same idea as LFC_Bitcoin, except I'm guessing he has more coins than me. It’s all about having a nice fiat income so you can live nicely. The money we make from bitcoin can buy the real stuff, big house, holiday home etc. I need a % of my bitcoin profits to work for me though - i.e. bring money in. Otherwise no matter how much you have you’re just spending bitcoin to live & I don’t want to do that. I’ll sell about 6 BTC at $25,000. I’ll sell around 50% of my proper stash at $100,000 & invest that properly to make money. I will then be in a position I never dreamed of until inheritance which will be a long time hopefully. I owe bitcoin so much. It’s going to make so many of our dreams come true. Hahahjahjahahaha You might be giving away too much LFC. I did tentatively believe that you had about 2.5x as many coins... but you pretty much gave away your whole story and disclosed the size of your stash... I will try to unsee what I just saw.....

I hate to get you back "on topic" jbreher, but I would like to confess that I made a bit of a orderbook/laddering/incrementalism "screw up."
I had some sell orders fill in around the $11,950 price area, so I was resetting my buy orders, and the price was around $11,867, but I was setting one of my buy orders to buy back some of my coins in the $11,200 arena, but instead of typing $11,200, I fat fingered it (typed $12,200), and I accidentally bought immediately at $11,867.
I know it's fashionable to hate on Coinbase 'round these here parts, but Coinbase will not let you make an order that is on the wrong side of the market. Such as buys for more than market nor sells below market. Rather than rounding to market, it just refuses to book the trade. Has kept me from making similar mistakes in the past. Might be worth looking into. Edit (21 minutes later): Problem resolved. Correction sell order filled. I reset the correction sell order for $11,982-ish... because there was a little bit of a wall of coins at $11,984, so I wanted to make sure that my orders got filled, instead of getting stuck..... but either way the matter was resolved because the price went up beyond my amounts, and I was able to reset my buy orders back to the original intended amounts
Congrats. I probably have told my coinbase woes in the past. Anyhow coinbase was one of my first places to buy bitcoin, and surely I used their trading platform for years too. About a year ago, those fucktwats froze my account would not really give me any explanation, so in essence I have been kicked off of their platform. Yes, I am familiar with their fat finger protection algorithm, I had been saved by that a few times too, on that particular platform (in the past). Is it my imagination or did I just actually read a civil exchange between yogi and JJG? Of course. You are acting like you are new here, though I know you are not. You goofball <-- semi obligatory JJG style taunt No need to worry guys (and gal). Hold my beer. I got this. In other words, looks like jbreher has fallen completely under my spell. In other words (am I running out of words, yet?), picnic jbreher won't be talking no more BIGBLOCKER, bcash pumping, bitcoin naysaying smack. Thank me later.

Oh, are we poor again?
Blah, nevermind... maybe tomorrow or the next week.
As soon as the price stays above or near $10K I can laugh at whatever it does. Much lower than that and... I can do both crying and holding at the same time, so it's fine.
This price action is still surprising and unexpected to be honest. Completely out of schedule. It has ruined my accumulation plans though... well, first world problems I guess.

Perhaps crying or a meme that says, "my bitcoins are only worth 5% more than they were worth yesterday".....

WTH happened at Coinbase? I see they are back online now.
It's Deja Vu. A glitch in the matrix. It usually happens when they change something.

I wonder how those who blamed bitcoin's drop in dominance on blocksize will care to explain its resurgence?
The transaction backlog is not yet increasing exponentially. When the FOMO starts in earnest, Blockalypse II will be upon us. We'll talk again at that time. You mean when your buddies get enough moola and resources together to make some kind of feigned (and likely unsuccessful or otherwise expensive) attempt at a spam attack?

Maybe just because I was already logged in? https://www.coindesk.com/coinbase-hit-with-outage-as-bitcoin-price-drops-1-8k-in-15-minutesThey don't say specifically if coinbase pro was affected or not but they do say that " it's internal systems appeared to be functional during that period"..... Not to put a tinfoil hat or anything but robinhood also experienced issues during this period, both coinbase and robinhood are us based exchanges, could it be possible that there are geopolitical forces that don't want or want these outages to restrict a certain market from selling? IDK

The fact that there are several things upon which we agree, as well as the fact that we can remain agreeable in the face of our philosophical differences, does not imply that said philosophical differences do not exist.

Or perhaps the stream blockers and the rest of the north core-ians come up with another "innovation" they want to poke through. Regardless, it's either an attack vector, or a mere point of weakness. Which of the two is kind of immaterial.
