My new favorite chart: This market will turn around eventually. I'm just not at all convinced that time is now, 24 hours before the Lights possibly go out in China.

Or maybe this one, but this would mean we aren't even rallying right now. Could you tell, what is needed to happen for your inner bear to be slain?
I was also a bear until 25. Feb, but then I bought at $448. We are now at the same price. Are you risking to be a worse trader than me?

Nope. As I said previously, some individuals are smart, some are dumb, some are in-between. My outright statement (not implication) is that it is not at all determined by what the color of their skin is or what country/continent/whatever they come from.
Indeed not all. But there should be some dependencies, based on world around certain population group. Like, in warm/tropic countries there might be less need in efforts of getting food. Based on that, different people groups might have different "intellectual" potential (or at least, that potential might be distributed differently vs other group) again, in average. Don't you agree? Also, do you guys assume that it's kind of an RPG where you have base stats like STR, DEX, INT as 10 and you have 20 points to distribute? It's looking like creationism. I think that it's totally might be that some group might have 16 and some 24 points to "distribute". I doubt it. I imagine gathering food in any location would require ingenuity, and if it was indeed less, I doubt it would be so much less that it would have a profound effect on evolution to the level we are speaking here. I think it would be relatively unnoticeable, compared to when you consider we had to evolve into huge things like simply having language and communication. The "points to distribute" argument seems suspect, but I'll entertain it and counter that this would likely pertain to individuals and not a group of people as a whole. Regardless, you can't lord a couple of IQ points over anybody, because IQ fails to take into account a lot of factors regarding intelligence. There's plenty of articles available on the internet on why IQ tests alone are useless to determine someone's actual intelligence level. Seriously, a simple google search for "IQ tests inaccurate" will turn up dozens of results. Here's one: http://www.webmd.com/brain/news/20121218/iq-test-really-measure-intelligence -- The gist of it is IQ can be useful, but is wholly inadequate in getting a good determination on how intelligent someone is. You need multiple tests focusing on various factors to get a better idea. Ever met the guy who was a logic and math wiz, but couldn't navigate a social situation to save his life and was quite aloof? If he took an IQ test, he'd crush it, but if you tried to socially interact with the guy, you'd wonder how many types of idiot he was. I do not at all believe in creationism, by the way.

I suspect another one of these cycles could occur, which will go up when nothing happens on April 15th, then go down again when there is another chinese government action (or rumor) for a new kind of enforcement.

I was also a bear until 25. Feb, but then I bought at $448. We are now at the same price. Are you risking to be a worse trader than me? I also bought when you were buying. I bought at 400 remember? Since your 448 purchase, I have also bought at 520, bought at 570, sold at 710, sold at 630, made several successful shorts on the way down to 340, covered at 340, made a couple successful long trades on the way up, and am now long from 425.

Some fiat entered. It will probably be around Wednesday when the dumping continues. Till then, the dumpers are waiting if maybe more fiat will be wired, so they can sell with an better price. I'm not buying into this because it isn't very probable that much more fiat will enter. There hasn't been any important good news about the markets, so nothing has really changed in the long-term.

Dear bears, Yours truly, Everyone else You're welcome. I bought most of them for less than $20. I have plenty more in cold storage. How dumb do you think we are?

This breakout is weaksauce.
Everything is happening in proportion to the last breakout in March relative to volume. It should be over when Stamp hits 30,000 volume.
Ive set up a landmine of shorts from 478-519. Although I am really not confident that any of them are going to be hit. I am hoping against hope that this rally can at least get to 498ish.

Sorry, I didn't read whole discussion from the very beginning (perhaps, something about "stupid Brazilians?"). But despite of IQ test being not proper tool to measure "total" intellect of the person, it doesn't contradicts with the fact that some "races" performs worse in mathematical tasks whereas other might be better in social. You might say that "they're not worse, they're just the different", but that it doesn't take away fact that some Brazilians are worse in math that Norwegians (no idea honestly, just to illustrate).

It's Monday so could it be that people are waiting for their deposits to hit the exchanges? You know, the deposits they wired when they saw cheap bitcoins at 400 yesterday. And what will these people do Tue/Wed when the fiat is there? BUY! Just my guess.

My inner bear only grew stronger when the 1 week chart was dealt the knock out punch this week. For me to become bullish again, I would need to see signs of reversal on 3D and 1W charts. Here are some events that might help too: 1. Chinese situation is put to bed, one way or the other. 2. New regulated exchanges open in U.S. (even more bullish if you can buy real bitcoins and not just derivatives) 3. Federal government (not just new york) comes out and endorses bitcoin. 4. Plans to have the ability to upgrade from EC and SHA256 are begun.

Yeah, I'm totally boring, that I sold on top of the last bull market, and refuse to play the bear market where the odds are actually against you. Degenerate gamblers don't care about the odds, they just want to feel the adrenaline by taking blind risks. I'm a different kind of gambler, the boring kind.
