Alot better then the alternative.

It does seem roger ver brings the red faced wojak in all of us into easily getting triggered.
Every time I see his face remind me of the angry wojak.

Go green or dont come out to play today cause alot going on in the next week for us to go zen!

I am an unapologetic big blocker. I am neither fraudster nor scammer. IOW, Go Fuck Yourself.

That's "...Go Fuck Yourself. #nohomo"

Jeeze, get with the program.

That's cute and all -- and I hesitate to call you out specifically -- but this merely demonstrates what a nattering echo chamber full of cross-congratulatory baboon shriek this formerly-important thread has devolved into.

SOMA analysis: I am not convinced yet. The spike up is a bit too quick and it's coming in a descending sawtooth pattern. The spikes that held their own in the last months were more like a brusque change of curvature in a general uptrend.

If you guys / management dislikes this Whalecalls stuff, please let me know and I'll cease.

That info is both relevant and useful IMHO. Keep on posting!  

[Gyrsur]

congrats to fillippone and HairyMaclairy!!

EDIT: through the 200 dSMA, retest and then too daa moooon!

So, are the Exchanges the biggest Bitcoin Holders?

Exchanges usually have the advantage of knowing where the Stop Loss, supports and resistances are, as well as the areas of opportunity for the best trade.

Yeah, it is funny or strange that the graph does not include coinbase or gemini, and also besides exchanges, there are some other third party (potentially price determiners, even though they might be considered Over The Counter (OTC) such as greyscale (holder of GBTC coins) and BAKKT).   There had been some reports that coinbase might hold a million coins or close to it, and also greyscale had something like a million or more coins.  Not always easy to determine where all the coins are, which also gets us into some challenges regarding whether some of the exchanges might be engaged in fractional reserves, which had been kind of implied by some of the fake trading reports that were made about several of the outside of the US exchanges.

This seems about right. Everybody and his brother has been bearish lately. Maybe we're in for another leg down soon, but shorts need to get rekt first.

People have been "talking their books" long before this thread came about. That accounts for a sizeable part of the big block hatred, I reckon.

You are in bed with CSW.  

That is exactly equivalent to a claim that you are in bed with Amir Taaki, Mark Karpeles, and any number of other salacious characters.

No, its not. CSW and Roger Ver are leaders of the big block movement. Amir Taaki (not a salacious character btw) and Mark Karpeles are not leaders of anything.

Indeed I have. All either statements of truth, reasoned future projections based upon solid facts, or reasonable opinions supported by rational point of view.

That's the problem: things you find to be reasonable and rational rarely are to others. It might come as a surprise to you but the problem isn't them. If you were right (about anything, really) your two favorite altcoins wouldn't have suffered such drastic declines as compared to bitcoin.

I have a strong feeling the Bitwise ETF is gonna be approved before Sunday

[Dabs]

The reasonable opinions are fine. The rational point of view is fine. It does seem to me (and I'm not the only one) that there is a great deal of bias.

As mathematicians put it, numbers don't like. The price is the price. 1 BCH = 1 BCH and 1 BSV = 1 BSV. They are already valued by the market accordingly.

Big blocks is not as simple as just increase the block size. One can argue that because of SegWit, the effective block size has increased as you can stuff in more transactions in the same amount of blockspace.

As for security, it's out there already. There are native bech32 segwit addresses containing more than 350k BTC. That should be more than enough incentive for anyone to attempt spending them out of a perceived flaw in the system.

"In it for the tech, not the money." used to be true 10 years ago. It could be true for some people today, but there's always that little voice in your head where you do want to take profits one way or another.

I want to believe this but I don’t think so. The SEC seem totally disinterested in anything close to approving an ETF.

I guess the above is true.....until they do approve one.

[goldkingcoiner]

Looks like we might see some action to $8719.55 if we break $8487.35

You were saying?

MicGoossens used his gourmet dinner money to throw me off by $4.05 .

Wow... still no Vegeta meme today so far.

I think they are being saved when closer to $9000.
Observing at $8669 but bouncing around like a cat right now.

Something is going to happen and yes etf decision will be monday.
Sunday night for those in east south asia.

[txtrav]

perhaps a leg up in advance of a  good Bitcoin  ETF decision from SEC this week, due by Friday for Bitwise?  Wouldn't get our hopes up but they feel they are closer than ever...

ETF decision is due by  Oct 13th, which is a Sunday - so  I'd expect it by Friday 11th as last business day available.

Roger Ver is unarguably one of the most important figures in the entire history of Bitcoin. Taaki* and Karpeles were each indisputably leaders in their time. Leadership is transitory, and irrelevant when discussing the inherent properties of a protocol.

* the salaciousness of Taaki is predicated on each individuals' view of Taaki's actions.

If they don't, it's gonna have to be a on a new rejection basis compared to their previous rejections, which by the looks of it, Bitwise has satisfied those concerns. Then it really is a moving goalpost. But I don't think that will happen. We already have regulated spot, regulated options/futures, and a Bitcoin ETF wouldn't be that risky anymore.

Let's see how it plays out

IMO small blockers just don't have much capacity for such a revision. Don't expect too much
