Yes, it is possible that I used words that were stronger than necessary to make my point; however, without really being able to put my finger on the situation, exactly, I am getting the sense that you are being quite disingenuous with your pursuit to engage me in various topics, including this one. So maybe my language was a bit stronger than it needed to be - even though I was attempting to be descriptive of my frustration that you seemed to have been purposefully missing various points attempting to describe matters in ways other than what they were. In the end, I think my response was appropriate and within a context in which the response seems to fit.
I'm beating around the bush heavily, but with no intent to troll. It's just that people don't really know what they want until you make them think about it. I'm asking you questions to make you think about it. Imagine it an effort to open your eyes to my opinion -- that it's harder than it seems to moderate a forum and judge what is acceptable -- without gracelessly shoving it down your throat.
That's ridiculous. NOW, you are being patronizing.. attempting to suggest that you are somehow coming from a place of higher knowledge. You certainly do NOT know enough about me in order to come to those kinds of conclusions, even if you did happen to read all of my posts on this forum. Additionally, I have already experience several of your responses that tend to inform me that even if you had read all of my posts, either you did NOT understand half of their content or you are purposefully failing to take into account half of their content.
You seem to be wasting my time, your time and the time of anyone who may happen to be reading this interchange between us with your purported attempts to teach.
Want me to be blunt about it? Over-moderation is dumb, no forum worth posting on does it, and I often skim your posts for relevant material because I feel they tend to ramble on, sometimes incoherently, so forgive me for missing an important sentence or two every now and then.
Was that straight-forward enough for you?
+1 that judicious, discerning & productive moderation isn't easy or clear-cut at all, and that heavy moderation is digressive, censory & stupid.
I can attest that Oct. is not the only person skimming some people's posts.. JJG's in particular, given the excessive wordiness often encountered, albeit admittedly made using excellently articulate language.
What's actually ridiculous, JJG, is for you to be repeatedly distraught that people "[..] definitely don't know enough about you to make such statements/claims..", while at the same time alleging that Octaft is disingenuous & imply that he could not possibly be 'coming from a place of higher knowledge..' when anyone of good cognizance who's been following his posting will
definitely substantiate that he's one of the more erudite minds around here who don't get biased easily & are diligent in their intellectual approach.
And since we're on this topic, I'll add that it strongly appears to my perspective that these 'scandalized defensiveness' conversational tendencies and your apparent need to insert vulgar language here & there, are transparent symptoms of the insecurity you feel with some of the obsessive patterns you use when communicating, such as your characteristic capitalized
'NOT' inserted every few sentences or so ;p
I know there are more people like this in the world, who buy cheaply, don't read news (they are lies) or forums (who would write anything worthwhile), and are expecting to lose all. Nothing can shake them once they have bought. That's the beauty of it
If bitcoin goes down another 6 months, all the coins belong to the likes of me. You still think the price will go down afterwards?
Absolutely not ; I agree, once 'all the coins' (;p) belong to serious unshakeable hands, price would not drop afterwards.
..And that is precisely why, although it isn't a bad time to buy
unleveraged right now, and hold, for the majority of the needed longterm retracement/correction has most probably already been priced in w/ our several-months downtrend ; that waiting all the way until it
at least touches the 2300-2400's/360-400's & load up in (optionally max-leveraged
) longs/buy's
from that most profitable entry down there, is the smartest course of action right now, as my next post shall illustrate clearly
Bitcoin is beautiful.
..That doesn't mean it's prevented from revisiting 300's or even breaking previous lows. Rather, it means it'll bounce even more voraciously, from any lows,
regardless of how much more potentially dire, final, 'G0x-Feb-19-like' the next round of bad headlines are to be, than it even did back on Apr. 10-11's reversal from $340.
It just means that it's a -beautiful, invaluable, lucky-we-finally-have-it- piece of technology, that has
nothing to do with its exchange-listed price-to-fiat ratio...!!!!!!!!!!!!
You can love bitcoin (& all crypto..? xD) as I do regardless of being a trader or holder, short or long, buying or selling,
FOR CHRIST'S SAKE YOU DO NOT HAVE TO HODL ALL YOUR COINS UNSHAKEABLY JUST TO 'PROVE' / MAKE A STATEMENT THAT YOU BELIEVE IN BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGY..!!!!!!!!!! Speaking of which...
Windy is hardly a perma bear, he's one of the few here who actually changes his opinion after weighing up what the market is doing. He was very bullish for the second half of last year, even before the upturn in November.
Everyone seems to be in denial (cue pictures of Egyptians) at the moment but what he is saying is pretty basic -- people have to buy BTC for the price to go up and there is no new currency on the order books, the bid/sum ratio is creeping back to 1:2.
Everyone seems to think the toothfairy is going to wave her magic wand and buy 50K BTC out of nowhere (but I suspect she is a bit disillusioned with BTC and its associate fraudsters, dodgy exchanges, bans and bad press).
Now, more than ever, its time to realise BTC is about the technology not the currency.
+10.
[Whoa, such female wit & cognizant perspective, much rare..??! WTB moar xDDDDD]
+5 for truth on the matter of the peculiar bird-dog mutant ;9
The more and more fearful weeks are coming, non-stop, hahahahaha
In Soviet Russia, bitcoin speaks engrish.
