Bitfinex spikes to a new high. 14,384 btc short  Going to be epic did to anyone occur that he who is opening those short knows what is he doing? If they know what they're doing they've got way bigger balls than me What happens if a large buyers steps up and forces margin calls? they dont need to have bigger balls -> just insiders info.  insiders info directly from the CEO of bitcoin? |

could btc/usd prices be impacted by cryptsys huge volume of XRP markets ? and would altcoins help or make it worse for the growth of BTC/USD?
The altcoins that come to mind that seek larger speculation of growth like Coin Magi (XMG), Primecoin (XPM), Peercoin (PPC) ..?
DOGE is a pretty big one its hard to say exactly how it these alts effect he BTC market but the idea that BTC is needed to bid in these markets is rather bullish for BTC. Alts have diluted capital flow into BTC. Perhaps just fool's money, but imagine if all the cash that went into DOGE et al. went into BTC. money moving towards alts is getting less: |

So he's going to provide them with an exit? I don't see how else they're going to be able to get out of their short positions. Book is empty |

Thanks.. I had tried to download it earlier from another link and I could NOT get it to work, but that link seems to be downloading.... looks like about 25 minutes to download... Have you watched it? I heard that the production took place over several years... Any comments? |

Or enough coins either in their disposal or disposal of someone(s) else to feel fairly confident that either they or their associates have the power and/or resolve to sufficiently move the price in one direction or another. They may miscalculate the strength of the other side though.. that is if the other side is mustering up a defense.. and that seems to be be kind of what has been happening in the past few weeks.. there seems to be less willingness of some of the bulls to tolerate continued downward movement of the BTC prices and some bulls are getting anxious for some upward price movement.... but still the bulls may NOT have enough resolve to really fight the downward price direction if they feel sufficiently confident that they will be able to move BTC prices up again if and when needed. |

DOGE is a pretty big one its hard to say exactly how it these alts effect he BTC market but the idea that BTC is needed to bid in these markets is rather bullish for BTC. Alts have diluted capital flow into BTC. Perhaps just fool's money, but imagine if all the cash that went into DOGE et al. went into BTC. money moving towards alts is getting less: YES!!! That is certainly an interesting trend, when some people try to give so much importance to the supposed dynamic of alts stealing away market cap from BTC, when we look more closely at the facts, the story seems to be quite to the contrary... alts are proliferating and so far pretty much stealing from each other rather than from bitcoin b/c as a whole bitcoin is NOT losing market share to such alts. NOW again, that is a good metric to monitor b/c it could change in a year or so or somewhere down the line some of the alts may begin to take some market share from BTC. |

money moving towards alts is getting less: Yeah, it's a good thing. But keep in mind that this graph goes from 86% to 100%, and thus looks a tad biased. I.e. the money in alts hasn't halved or anything. We're talking about a 1/10 of all crypto to begin with. Still a good thing. |

NOW, you are engaging in near total speculation, here, Tarmi. I doubt that you have any real direct evidence that there is only one guy responsible for downward price manipulation. Sure it is plausible, but what is the evidence, beyond your merely baldly asserting such? |

someone said cup and handle yesterday...
a down correction was inevitable...the questions were: when, how deep, how fast....because of the quick rise we had a sharp fall (bids were not following fast enough)...consolidation seems to be over soon...
if it would have been "the dumper"..we would have seen much bigger dumps....it was just market...and market wants to rise soon
in the trading emotion cycle we are somewhere around hope/doubt

Free money on bitfinex for anyone with deep pockets and a large pile of BTC.
Place a very high ask..market buy 10k. Margins calls will make you several million $'s and a pile of btc
