nah Im fine now, just wanted to let some steam out.
Hope as many speculators as possible got offended. If you didnt, send me a pm and Ill try my best.
You didn't offend me for one. You are responsible for your own actions, if that was so important you should take time to move the coins earlier, not on 3am. Then you make a fool of yourself on the forums insulting everybody like it was everybody's fault. Oh, and about the guy that you've linked that shorted 17k. Don't think that he only was responsible for the drop to 4.8. 17k short on Bitcoinica is WAY to small to do this. Believe me, I had more than that and market hardly moved. cant help if I received the coins 3am. I do believe that guy was responisble for the drop to 4.8 since it happened very quickly. In all likelihood it caused many other people to get liquidated (and we know many people were long, as the asterisk was there). it also must have cause other bots to go frenzy, and we know there are many of them. I dont trust you at all buddy, 17k in bitcoinica isnt small at all. it will cause spikes, and possibly a chain reaction of liquidations.

how about after this cathartic learning experience you also change your martyr forum ID: guywhogotgoxed to: guywhogotrapedforeternitybyspeculators victim syndrome or what PS - don't lock ur $ up, especially in volatile markets, if ur going to need them at short notice - lesson learned, move on & as previous poster, I'm down atm probably about 100 times what you are & I blame no one & it's what I risk managed for better or worse - just happens to be seems worse atm but that's par for the course, any cash that I may need access to immediately doesn't get to go here

I sent them to the exchange but it takes approximately an hour for 6 confirmations. I had to go to sleep yesterday, you know, waiting for new blocks is not my hobby. not a programmer so I dont have any bot to do the work.
regarding what I needed the coins for, mind your own fucking business.
You should of hedged.

Man. Man.
Listen.
Nobody on this forum has the power - on their own - to swing BTC 50 cents. Or at least if they do, they aren't telling; there's someone with deep pockets who seems to enjoy pushing the price around, but we're usually just as annoyed by that guy as you probably are.
What's really happening is this: people think the price is going down and don't want to be left holding the bag. If someone you trust told you two days ago that bitcoins would be worth 10% less in a couple days, would you honestly have kept them in your wallet? Or would you have sold them while you still could?
It's the same principle. People are just trying to protect their money. And right now, there's so few people in the market that any shift, any movement of the crowd, ends up having a big footprint, instead of being the tenths-of-a-percent you see in "mature" currency fluctuations.
If you want to blame something for this volatility, it's that we're still so early in the adoption of it as a currency. It's not big enough or used enough for the price to stick. Until that gets solved, there's nothing that will keep the USD value of our coins consistent.
(In the meantime, if you want to make sure your coins don't decline in value, that's actually one of the non-speculative uses of Bitcoinica; taking out a "short" position equal to some percentage of the BTC you're holding means that any drop in value will be balanced out by the short. Might be worthwhile if you're worried about this kind of thing happening to you again.)
|
If there is something that will make Bitcoin succeed, it is growth of utility - greater quantity and variety of goods and services offered for BTC. If there is something that will make Bitcoin fail, it is the prevalence of users convinced that BTC is a magic box that will turn them into millionaires, and of the con-artists who have followed them here to devour them.

Don't feel So bad chum, it'll come back around.
Considering I'm long term investing, it's just another opportunity for me to buy more...

Fuck all of you dipshit motherfuckers who have the power to make my assets lose over 10% overnight. I never even had a fucking chance to sell. Problem is I need the cash right now, not the coins, and am forced to sell cheap.
The one thing bitcoin is pretty useless for is as a store of value. The US dollar may have lost 90% of its value in the last 50 years, but bitcoin is capable of losing 90% of its value within 6 months (June to November 2011). The commodity suffers wild swings upwards and down. Forum participants have watched as its value swung up to 50% within one day. It was crazy. The swings hurt bitcoin and hamper its adoption as anything more than a means to achieve a transaction (get rid of bitcoins as soon as you acquire them). I hope you get all raped in hell for eternity.
That's not very nice.

theres not much to learn when all I did was decide not to wait for 6 confirmations, and went to sleep instead. thats like saying I deserve to lose money if Im not holding it tightly with both hands, 24/7.
now fuck off trying to talk to me like if I dont know how this works. this was just simply another fuckup making people not want to do business in btc. in all likelihood, this is causing most people to not want to use btc. If this guy new "how it works" he would have shorted the amount of bitcoins he held while he slept. That would have kept his BTC/USD exchange rate that he wanted at that moment fixed. 1. He has 100 BTC valued at $550. 2. He sells 100 BTC on Bitconica for $550 3. The value of bitcoins drops to $4.50 4. He wakes up and sees his Mtgox value of bitcoins is now $450 5. He then goes on Bitcoinica and sees he has a profit of $100. 6. He buys back the bitcoins on Bitcoinica and moves his $100 to Mtgox 7. Now he has 100 Bitcoins worth $450 and $100. $450 + $100 = $550 He would have lost no money if he knew what he was doing. If an Iowan farmer knows how to hedge his corn then so should bitcoin accepting merchants with the ease of use of Bitcoinica.

I was trolling previously and expected to get banned ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) I still appreciate the serious replies. Bitcoinica has unfortunately high spreads, and doing what you mentioned would make me lose around 5%. although it is a viable way of doing it. however, it still doesnt solve the issue that I had to wait for 6 confirmations. I just happened to make the decision of sleeping rather than waiting for new blocks. what I was really pissed about is how people instantly behave like a flock, in regards to btc. people are willing to sell their coins at huge losses, which is completely unreasonable. it just gives me this vibe of very inexperienced, emotional and stressed out people crapping their pants as fast as a large trade happens. and then as previously mentioned, this triggers behavior from bots (and possibly a chain reaction of liquidations in bitcoinica) although I kept the btc, and it has gone back up to 4.8. things do seem brighter. anyway, this thread should get binned or modified, I certainly didnt behave nice here ![Tongue](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/tongue.gif)
