Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion

[JayJuanGee]

What I do see being (ab)used ad nauseam is FUD (some news I don't like? Oh yeah, FUD!), and "Facts U Dislike" to me is a counter to that. Fire with fire.

Speaking of fire, you should be fired from being a moderator based on your spreading FUD about FUD.

As to that, I don't really like the HODL CCMF 2DAMOON either, but you won't see me complaining. And really now, can you even remotely compare the two in frequency? That's why I am bewildered about the (feigned?) annoyance.

PS: Who wrote that quote in your signature? Mat too?

Oh wait, did I just say you should be fired??? he hehe...   I take it back...  I agree with this  more recent statement, so the bitcointalk "powers that be" should promote you.            CCMF.... 2DAMOON.....

It looks really bad. Only a week after SecondMarket got their bank account banned due to Bitcoin, now google takes the next step.´

Isn't it a bad idea to have wallet software in your browser? Even for hot funds, it seems to me as if it would be particularly prone to malware.

I don't know if this is old news but i noticed that Gmail puts pretty much all Bitcoin related emails directly in my spam folder.

Blitz where did that "no more triple digits" attitude go? i still remember that fud... LOL

I've been short for 2 months. But its a bad time to be short right now. Fonzie is stupid if he hasn't covered his shorts.

We might not be going up, but it stupid to assume we are going down.

Is that in then or are we pausing to let a few more passengers on?

Huobi's volume is still decreasing over the last week or so, is it going to dwindle into non existence?

I would imagine it would be rather foolish to have any hot funds within a browser. Thats just if the app isnt malicious in the first place! I'd imagine there are many exploits known about in the black hat community in regards to hijacking extensions.

The last 20 pumps were part of a pump and dump. I guess people are so used to this now that they automatically start selling after a 10 or 15 dollar rise. It's not smart to buy more at that point if there is a big chance there will be some big dumps again.
As what often happens with Bitcoin trading the expectations of a certain scenario actually enable that scenario while it might never have happened in the first place.

There is a difference between using "facts U dislike" for FUD and hodl for hold.  HODL is innocent and a non-substantive form of fun.  

[snip]

So many words. So little information.

Completely agree with dropt on this one: 'facts U dislike' and 'hodl' are both rather idiotic expressions, at least when used ad nauseam as is common in here, and those who use them regularly do themselves a disfavor in my opinion.

And thinking the former sucks, while the latter is "innocent and fun", well, that's just the bull in you talking.

Yes, you cut out my information b/c it is much more convenient for you to keep up with this bearshit line of reasoning  (attempt at acting like you are more neutral than the bulls, here).  I provided a decent explanation, and surely it could have been shorter and better stated.  Nonetheless, I provided a logical explanation that was neither bearish nor bullish, and you attempt to negate my explanation by dismissing it as bull-ish (but conveniently, you "snip" it out so you do NOT have to be bothered with its contents).   Your attempt here to oversimplify does a disservice to your assertion that I am supposedly biased by a bullish view on this FUD topic.  

Look, I'll try to keep it short, and I'd ask you to do the same:

During the past 2, 3 months, most news about the Chinese exchanges was greeted by "FUD" in here, by and large.

Now, we'd probably agree that those "news" were hardly worth the name, but they were also not what you should strictly call "FUD" -- those who posted (and discussed) the items were not necessarily trolling. I know I wasn't.

So renaming FUD as "facts u dislike" was probably an attempt to counter that. I personally don't like it, but I liked it even less that discussing news events was suddenly grounds for being suspected of un-bitcoinian activities.

I have NO problem with the example that you just provided, yet without seeing specifics, your comment seems like a broad generalization b/c in any group, there will be some people who act out, but are NOT representative of the group. 

Surely, you may be correct that a large number of bulls were (and have been) denying the importance of china, even while BTC prices were falling.  Nonetheless, we would need a context if we would say that a bunch of these BTC moonstruck bulls were overly misusing the term FUD as a means to avoid reality and to denigrate their distractors. 

In the end, I maintain that redefining FUD, as a smart-ass response to intentionally exaggerate the detachment of some of these posters from reality does NOT move along the conversation in a productive direction and it seems to be purposefully denigrating and incitement - like saying that bulls are part of a cult or a religion or some of those other bearshit comments.

I believe that most bulls can accept when bears talk bearish, so long as they substantiate their comments and use logic, reason and disclose when they are merely asserting a guestimate.
