Next week watching Dune II

Very looking forward

ever played this one?

Fucking loved that game in the 90s. And that led to Warcraft 2 and Command & Conquer.

Flipping awesome time to be a PC gamer.

...

Yeah.  I played the shit out of this game too!  
The first "real" RTS as game.  Only downside was that you couldn't select several units at once.

I still play DUNE 2000 once in a several years. I also learned to like "Emperor: Battle for Dune" a bit.

not there yet they bring the cooler in. (coinbase) so that may keeps us down for a day or two.

I will not say 70k in a day.  but maybe 65k is coming.

[Toxic2040]

Dune 2 is really good...the cinematography and effects are amazing...the lighting...very cool   i also think it proper homage to the books
the only thing i felt was left out was the spacing guild and that whole side of spice trade...maybe thats for a third film
highly recommend

I just realized today that the halvening.com website is not only interactive but multiplayer (for lack of a better word).  Anyone who goes there and clicks "join" in the upper left (this only works with a PC) gets their own little astronaut which you can run around the screen using the cursor controls, release confetti using the spacebar or a balloon with the "b" key.  I also found a couple of easter eggs today - the "t" and "g" key allow for some sort of tecktonik  dance moves.  I just tried it out with my youngest on separate computers and we were both visible.  Cool.  If only there were a way to make that rocket to lift off

Just checked Gemini exchange.  Still working (that is, got to my account OK, balance is correct), but I did not try to sell anything.  80k is my first sell point.

coinbase always crashes during a rip. even the bank person i chatted with about bitcoin a bunch of years ago knew that happens.. i figured her for a coiner for sure when i heard that lol.

gemini is usually ok.

I have to say.. Gemini has always been great.  My best experiences and no disappointments with that company.  There have been a couple occasions where I had to have funds very quick (almost emergency-level type of urgency).  I requested a wire from my Gemini account to my linked bank and the funds were there before I physically arrived at my bank to send them on to the final destination.  
Their trading platform is easy and straight forward.

They must be a bit bummed as they were the first to apply for a BTC ETF, but the "early bird" did not get the worm.

That's interesting, guys.  Gemini took me first as I was trying to onboard them & Coinbase back in 2021.  When they took me on, I just let my application with Coinbase go, didn't finish the process with them.

Wires in and out have been quick and painless for me as well.  On the other hand, I don't trade much...

I feel like price discovery will be upon us before you know it… Wall Street has gotten a taste of Bitcoin and they like it. New high by the end of the week? $100K by April 20th? It all sounds incredibly crazy but it is now on the table. This is the excitement we hold for. Congrats to everyone who refused to sell!

yeah i sold some today at 61k.

my expenses will be good for months to come. so I will hodl more

I did the same at 60.2k and saved rest for higher values.

My gut feeling is that it will settle somewhere around 80 to 90k.

As I recall, he didn't lose anything.
I thought he just broke even and decided to get out with his $40k while (he figured) the gettin' was good?

You deserve a bat slappening for that.

#just saying

Wait... why?  It went down exactly as I said; it's been corroborated by bitserve and Gachapin.   Wait is it something subtle like "dignity", "face", "focus"... that he lost?

You are putting me in a pickle, here.

It is like forcing someone to have to explain a joke that everyone gets.

But yeah.. the situation should seem a bit obvious that a guy comes here and he starts to really buy BTC through 2018, 2019 and early 2020, and stating that he wants to create a system in which he does not make the same mistakes that he made the last time... so he says that he was going to focus on bitcoin and buying and not panicking and doing dumb stuff.. and then he ends up panicking and doing dumb stuff.

yeah, technically, he did not sell at a loss, and he might have even made a few percentage points.

It is failure to NOT stick with the plan.

Yeah, he overinvested.. so that contributed to the panic...

It is not laudable to break even or maybe make a few percentage profits under those kinds of conditions.. .. he admitted that he panicked, and he could not bring himself to take any kind of modest position to buy back in, and he could have even bought back in a day or two later without losing anything.... he was still here and active at that time and locking in his decision, perhaps his buy back could have even been with slight profits or at least covering his fees, but he was waiting for lower $2ks, and he was not even sure if he would buy back then.. and yeah, he did end up buying back 1 coin .

There were several of us suggesting that it would even be better to buy back at a slight loss and to suck up his mistake... but yeah, he had really damaged himself psychologically  once he pulled the sell trigger.. .. .. anyhow.. I have said enough for now..

finally a new poll

yeah 65 vs 48

every one (18 to 3 ) picks 65.

not so sure we don’t tank hard.

but i will pick 65k

Oh gawd, Philip.

You really believe that reverse sentiment bullshit and that we are shoe shiners in these here parts?

are we rich again?

Some people want to know how inflation factors into this.

 

are we rich again?

Always have been, it is just that the market is catching up with us.

Just think of all of those cornz that we accumulated over the past 2 years-ish?


Just imagine it.

bitcoin at its all time highs in over 30 countries

Here in my country, it already hit ATH.
Previous ATH was somewhere BDT 6.3 million while new ATH is 8 million BDT.

Did Brian Armstrong wake up today and place a hundred thousand buy orders?

Bitcoin never reached ATH before halving, perhaps this time it will be different because it already reached new economic market paradigm saying also goodbey to the classic 4 year cycle.

Just because we have new  and richer buyers does not mean that the 4-year cycle is disappearing.


It is likely that you are getting ahead of yourself if you are presuming that.

also goodbey to the classic 4 year cycle.

It is good or bad?

It is a pie in the sky theory that is just that... wishful thinking about something that does not currently exist.

5k candle on the daily so far today. What was the largest ever?

I hate to get stuck in strict candle boundaries, yet earlier I had calculated from $51.5k to $64k  (that is $13.5k) in 50 hours... so that is pretty fucking impressive, if I do say so my lil selfie... not so much in terms of percentages (only 24%) but in terms of the movement of overly debased dollars that some of the guys in these here parts do not respect as our measuring stick, in spite of the thread's name.

First time I've been excited in awhile.  Quiet 4x in since Nov '22.  Broke out of a long term trench.  Afraid it will overheat but I'm always afraid.

I know.  I can relate.

It can be scary, even when everything is going as well as could be expected.

Finally a $5.000 dump.

Hahahahhahaha

Even though it is not quite 20% to 40%, you got your wish with something like a quickie 8%.

Next week watching Dune II

Very looking forward

ever played this one?

I have. I've been replaying its successor, Starcraft the last couple of days.

...Just checked Gemini exchange.  Still working (that is, got to my account OK, balance is correct), but I did not try to sell anything.  80k is my first sell point.

So you're selling next week then, approximately.

If /when we get to 80k, sure, I'll sell a tiny slice.  Just like I sold slices in 2021 and 2017.  It doesn't hurt to take some profits.  At 90k, another slice.  DCA in reverse if you will.

I'm one of those guys who's never sure about what will happen in the future...  I'll take some of the money and run (like before).

But, I'll never sell all of my BTC.  Never.

Of course, you probably have your own spreadsheets, but feel free to use the raking spreadsheet for any ideas or the one on Google that fillippone created that allows you to plug in your own terms and see the results.

At that price some big money cashes out so it's more BTC in circulation, bearish for the price
Retail ETF investors are buying
Big institutional investors are not buying much
Retail trading is still mostly short

==>82k then down to 45k to clean?

That would be quite unusual to make it all the way through no man's land and then to correct all the way through it .. plus some extra..   I don't buy it.. or at least it does not seem to have very high odds.

I would give higher odds to either mid $90ks or even going past $100k and getting back into noman's land.. perhaps temporarily and maybe even for a few weeks.

Stops triggered some profit taking from 63-61k. I hope to spend some time again below 60k before we’re off to never ever land but we shall see. Reloading

It is imaginary.

We are likely not hanging around here very long..

a few weeks to a few months at most.


hahahahahahaha

The Bitcoin price just dropped $4,000 and we’re still up $4,000 on the day. That’s crazy. If I weren’t an experienced Bitcoiner I might confuse this massive rally with a blow off top and sell here. Thankfully, I’ve got my eyes set on $100,000 and no $4,000 gain in 24 hours is going to shake me out.

That is pretty whimpy.

$100k

That's old news.


That is the target from last cycle.



Think MOAR BIGGER.

I also don't see any point in selling some bitcoin now...

say no to "crypto premature ejaculation" 

Say no to anything that has crypto related with it... .. wouldn't want any of that shit.
