You do not like opinion, you make it go away. The world is good when you live in your own filter bubble.


since when are TA drawings considered as an opinions?

Hardly ever (maybe not ever?) seen someone here proudly proclaim they ignored someone because he was being bullish all the time, or for being a bull troll.

Point is, so many times it's not a crap filter, it's an opinion filter. You blend out what you dislike until all that remains is an echo chamber, a perverse distortion of an already biased place.

People are free to do so, but they should realize that in the long run, they will only hurt themselves because exposure to contrary positions are important for one's emotional, intellectual and financial health.

I have hardly anyone on ignore except for a few who write walls of text meaning nothing, where I regret having wasted my time reading it. I prefer reality unadulterated.

Secondmarket syndicate wants to charge a 5% fee if your bid is successful lol. $50,000 minimum bid.

This is their business model: inventing all kind of fees Wink. They already have entry fee, exit fee, 2% per year safekeeping fee - and now 5% bidding fee Cheesy

Anyway, I don't see why my stubborness should bother people so much.  The longer I persist in my negative view, the greater will be your fun when I will be finally proved wrong.  Wink

If it makes you feel any better, your "stubborness" doesn't bother me at all.  I'm not one of those guys who can't sleep when 'someone is wrong on the internet' Wink  You made it pretty clear that you would not be swayed by mere logic and reason some time ago, but I still read your posts because they occasionally contain actual information of interest, regardless of your prejudices.

I don't hope to have fun from seeing you corrected by the marketplace...  I am not much into schadenfreude myself.  It is certainly true, though, that if you are proven to be a fool, you will be a very well-documented fool Smiley

Very true. And the Internet, like TV or wealth or a large city or a university department or political power, makes it so very easy to live in a cozy markov blanket of similar opinions and unquestioned assumptions.

I am sure that successful traders have long since found ways to get diversified information and challenge their assumptions.  I can't really recommend this thread for that, if only for quality control reasons.

In particular, people desiring cheap coins often disinform and stir up fear. That is pretty offensive and requires some defense to avoid being ruined, so many of us may over react in this regard, myself among them on occasion.

theory is merely an explanation based on observation from which the assumptions follow.

true, each time I yelled CCMF or Bitcoin to the moon (even when it was clearly going down) no one seemed to be annoyed, and when I trashed Bears users seemed to agree, in fact, they even helped me, but when I started questioning the whole going up thing they turned against me and started trashing me.... in one hand I sy Karma but the in the other hand I say really few members have a voice of reason.

we are dealing with Bitcoin jihadist here, they see only one path and who ever disagree with them becomes a troll and idiot dumb, so from now and on let every post shout " Bitcoin is a miracle and the price will be $100K very soon"

Sometimes it is not just "crap" or "opinions" that are the problem, it is just when it is the same crap over and over and over again... that is the problem...

and I try not to be one of those people myself, and I must admit I think I actually like Jorge, I like his style and I like some of his interesting posts... and I even think I would enjoy talking to the guy one on one.... but really I have no time for someone that cannot/will not change his position one single bit, regardless of what he "learns" I just cannot trust him, or take him seriously... I will no doubt take him off ignore now and then, but when I see the constant "like a dog with a bone" comments.. it just irks me.  

I am all up for differing views - I agree on the echo chamber comment.

Its called fund management - and you missed off the performance fee where they keep a % of your upside.

Can anyone explain to me where on earth SecondMarket expects bidders to turn up from, and why on earth people are expecting a premium? In over 1.5 months now, they have managed only to acquire interest for barely 1k BTC for their fund. It has come to a near standstill. See: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=337486.0

SecondMarket need to do some more shilling to gather interest. Unfortunately, the "Wall Street is coming ANYTIME now! BUY MY FUND GUISE!" is getting old.

What would take to "finally prove you wrong"? Certain price level over time? Legal skeleton in one of major countries behind BTC? Large company accepting it (like Ebay etc.) ? Really, i'm wondering, what would it take?

Lol on missed fee. Yeah, I know it is how all money managers operate. So no wonder they are trying to milk this auction for possible fees, too Smiley

I've been close to ignoring adamstgBit for being one of the few annoying bull trolls. Tongue Nah not really but he can be annoying sometimes. Most annoying bull trolls don't stay long or don't post very often, it's the bear trolls like fonzie and Waroslaj who post all over the place and then it does tend to get annoying sometimes. But posters like Tera and Jorgi I don't consider trolls, I would never ignore them because I do respect them even though our opinions may clash sometimes (or quite often in the case of Jorgi). Others might find their posts annoying though and it's their right to ignore them.

Yeah, I agree it does not look very tempting. Maybe they want some free publicity? In case none of their bidders would win, it can actually cost them wire fees for deposit - although for these amounts of money fees are probably totally negligible.

I tried to find out what the usual practice is of a USMS Asset Forfeiture auction. Did I understand it correctly that they usually don't publish the result of the auction, i.e. who submitted the winning bids, or the total sum received in the auction?

Anyone?

Can we expect to learn about the height of the winning bids from the USMS itself? Or do we have to hope the winning bidder will say how much he paid?

Yes, i can remeber the time where you trashed bears, even reasonable, whispering bears and not only screaming perma-troll-bears. Now you wonder that the crowd turned against you (or more - you against the crowd)? Not, really, no? ;-)

It is not what they want to hear or think about. Rockets, trains and tits will make you popular, not pessimism.

I'm almost sure you are referring in part to me, tarmi, but I not even bearish as yet. Do you understand that one can have a neutral position, or even an invested position and still be aware of some contrary evidence in preparation for the future? This would then be mounting cognitive dissonance, and if it gets too much, one should change his position.

I think free publicity makes lots of sense, since the media are reporting it. Even if they get no bidders or low bidders, they will have gotten some press.

What I also do not understand is, what exactly is the service they are providing to skim off 5%? Someone who can afford a 3k BTC block likely has 200k USD liquid. Maybe interesting for people outside of the US?
