Hah. So did eb3full just do a sly market survey, or did he really sell some shares?

He really sold some shares  Wink

Maybe, but he quickly locked the thread when interest was too high.

And how do you explain him dropping the price from 2.9 to 2.7?

The one-sided thinking here is mindblowing. You have no idea why he stopped selling.

Erm, that's a rumour from some guy you don't know who has motives you can only guess at. Wishing something is true doesn't make it true. You don't even know what it means.

In this market a healthy sense of skepticism may not hurt? Or is it to the moon or bust?

why so serious, guy?

This is why he stopped selling:

If you're willing to reveal any of your selling rationale, I'd be curious to hear it.

240x ROI, also anticipating a bitcoin bubble soon so I'd like to seal in some of my profits when the hype starts up again. (this is quite a sad, predictable cycle)

I'm not done selling. friedcat has goodies coming as I discovered today when someone in particular decided to buy a shitload of shares from me.

How do you pronounce Friedcat?

Is it \ˈfrēd-kat\ or \ˈfrīd-kat\ ??

I don't know what either of those mean, but I pronounce it like this:

That's why he SAID he stopped selling.

Actually, wait, no. He didn't even say why he stopped, just that he'd be selling more.

so, a whale bought like 3500+ shares today for ~2.7-2.9?  That's interesting, if true.

Using the notation of the original post on the question, it's  \ˈfrīd-kat\  (Long-I).  That said, I am embarrassed by how long I pronounced it with the long-E, \ˈfrēd-kat\

Alternate pronunciations so far are "performance" and "profit", even with the latest drama.

Hi, I'm the whale.

No, I'm not a board member and I haven't been since April.

I was kind of concerned about having board membership earlier this year because if I did want to liquidate I didn't want to have some sort of insider trading bullshit pinned on me. Also I panic sold enough shares to lose board membership and regretted it later on.

Why was I liquidating?

  • I wanted to prepare my bitcoins for the massive BTCUSD bubble which is coming pretty soon and started getting anxious when ASICMINER shares were slowly dropping
  • Dividend sucked and I expected gigantic panic sells so I threw all my shares out there.

Why did I stop liquidating (for now)?

  • Someone who I think has a pretty informed position in ASICMINER bought a lot of shares from me and so, screw it, if I'm going to lose 25% in a day I might as well stick it out with this guy
  • Then I started getting a ton of PMs for buying shares at market price and realized I might want to wait before I sell too many more, as I was selling some shares way too low.
  • All my offers were being filled by big players, which is usually when you know you're making shitty trades.
  • friedcat has more things to announce, it's not like they planned ~6 months worth of stuff for nothing.

I'm not done selling obviously but I'm definitely done panicking.

Haven't Vycid been saying (perpetually repeating himself) that there will be price drop and soon WHALES ARE COMING TO SELL shares?!
And right after that, the mentioned whale pops out of nowhere with an illusionary liquidation of his whole holdings via rushed and under priced auction closed to all comments, as well not responding to TAT's buy offer ?!

That stinks from quite a distance.

Whales are people too.  Thanks for being candid.  One less mystery to worry about and comforting news if your suspicions are correct about the big player buys.

Or you could be pumping up the price.  What do you think, Vycid, is this guy lying or not?

I really don't think they're involved, because now, the whale selling has turned into positive news.  There was so much demand that it made him change his mind on selling his shares.

Other whales were willing to pick up the slack and buy up his cheap shares. That tells you something right there.  

That doesn't sounds like all the whales are ready to dump, it sounds like the whales are holding, and small holders are getting raped.

tl;dr - panic will make you lose money
