Now with the discussions between gold, bitcoin, many expect bitcoin at $ 12k, it is very likely that it will happen in the short term, many are taking this possibility into account and demand has been increasing.

On-chain data reveals that the number of investors who are using Bitcoin as a store of value is indeed growing at an exponential rate.

Over the past year, the Bitcoin supply across different exchanges has dropped by more than 28%. It went from 135,000 BTC to just over 97,000 BTC today.

[...] $9800 resistance should be too strong as the bulls are missing the firepower  

Bulls have unlimited dollars while bears have limited bitcoins. Few understand this, but those who do are sitting comfortably.

True, but don't forget about fractional reserve: do you believe every exchange plays by the rules by maintaining a full reserve? This is not the case and in fact by looking at the amount of BTC that are leaving exchanges this is becoming a big thing.
But as you said, one day people will realize that their infinite dollars will not be able to buy limited bitcoins.

I agree that the exchanges are cheating, fractional reserves, front running, probably even allowing naked shorting to large whale members (or the house). But with even more fraction reserves they will attract the wrong type of attention, and true deep pocket whales with unlimited fiat will show up to rekt their tarders in a coordinated effort. The Bart moves and mega short squeezes will only get more intense.

Lets start with explaining what a port is.
I always thought that a port is those things that you plug your USB cable into, but I get the sense that I might be wrong.

Arrie, since i owe you a computer lesson, here we go:

There are two types of "ports" for input/output: hardware ports (like usb, serial, network...) and ports of software, like a webserver.
So to get data in and out over a network, you need at least one port on each of the two computers. With streaming services, you can even broadcast one-to-many through a single port on the streaming server.
There are 65535 ports, some of them are standard, or reserved, like http (web, port 80) and https (web secure, port 443). Instead of "program" you refer to a communicating software like web servers as a "service".

Remotely identifying which services (software) are running on a remote computer is one of the first steps in preparing an attack. It's like this:
1. identify services
2. identify unsecured services
3. find vulnerabilities of these services (bugs)
4. exploit these bugs and get access.

To identify a service, you just connect to the certain port with a tool like "netcat".
If there is a response, some bytes or a service header like "...apache http server...", you know that there is this specific software running on the machine, so you can take more steps to find out the version of apache server and look up exploitable vulnerabilities, or even try to find your own, undiscovered bugs to attack the service and possibly gain system wide administrative access.

A port scan is just automating this process and scan all 65k ports to identify the "open" ones, put out a list of all open port numbers and header messages. These headers often show the software/service name and version.

Hope i'm free of debt now, finally and no one else gave you this lesson before

Sorry for being a total smartass, but I can't resist any further 

To be correct there are twice 65k ports, each UDP and TCP.
And since I am being an asshat already, it is 65536 ports, 65535 is just the highest port, but we computer people start counting at 0.

But, but... port 0 is reserved and not really directly addressable (more like a wildcard, if anything) so there are, in fact, 65535 ports of each kind (tcp/udp).

Trying to outsmartass me, eh?

 

(Got a point there, but I never agree with other smartasses on principle)

Great, we can move to port forward and backdoor exploits now:

yo right, mama 
I can take a lot of criticism, no worries.
Twice the ports, i was meaning 65636 port numbers, didn't want to confuse Arrie by going into too much detail.

The largest outflows have been from:

Bitfinex (~133,000 BTC) -66.6%
BitMEX (~105,000 BTC) -35.6%
Huobi (~97,000 BTC) -24.6%
In particular, Bitfinex has seen the steepest decline, losing 66.6% of its total BTC balance since Black Thursday.

Just use a good firewall like free ZoneAlarm and then check at grc.com ShieldsUp.

[jojo69]

ZoneAlarm?  is that really still a thing?

I remember using that on win98, with hijackthis
