Pirate's last chance?

[adamstgBit]

ok so many people were saying that Pirate's bank would have to default if the price kept rising, 10$ seem like a sure bet he was done for it.

so is that what we are seeing on the market lately?

first he admits to selling from 9 to 7.4, he must of thought 9 was the top and he could easily pressure people into selling. he must of saw that selling at 9$ wasn't a gr8 idea, so he pushed the price ( or let it rise ) to 12 dollars. now once again he trying to sell high and then try to push it down.

if this doesn't work, do you think he will try again higher?

if prices continue to rise, when will he default?

No, I think the conjecture that pirate is buying BTC at market prices in order to pay for interest is even more ridiculous than the SR mixer or mafia laundering hypotheses, the alien technology hypothesis comes almost close.

If pirate had to buy BTC at market prices he would disappear with everyone's BTC.
Again for the supporters of this theory: Tell me how it would work out, and please none of those "you only want to copy the awesome idea then - crap"

LOL, Adam are you now really hoping that pirate will crash the price for you, so that you can buy back below your low selling price?

what about margin trading on bitdaytrade that allow some users to trade BTC/US on Aug 04/12, one interesting aspect of this is only payment is in bitcoins

[ElectricMucus]

Yeah he spammed irc with some comments about people continue buying/stop buying and pulling his walls him "taking full responsibility", etc...


all are particularly vague and could be interpreted in any such way, it's all free advertisement for his ponzi.

bitdaytrade is a disaster waiting to happen, about at the same level as the "bitscalper" scam.

I hope he is not as a pirate default in this market is far more likely to trigger a buying panic than an crash.

Even if it was really pirate, it's hilarious what some people take seriously amongst a ton of obviously facetious posts.

How so? How would a price of 10, 9 ,8, 7, 6,.. dollars would make any significant difference? When pirate started the prices were something like 3.5 or lower.
Furthermore his own investors would be preventing this, if they buy BTC in order to give them to him.

There are other reasons for market resistance a current levels, nothing to do with pirate.

I don't think rising prices has any affect on pirate, except for a giant super-short-term move which is unlikely. He is just having fun by talking this way with you guys. I do, however, believe that he'll be able to pay out higher rates for longer if BTC price stays down, since lower prices force him to move less USD around and thus he needs more BTC to keep his volume high.

Personally, I feel that BTC may be getting close to a topping point, but I've been wrong before. I'm just watching the SPX and all the hindenburg omens, and although everyone tells me I'm nutz, I cannot help but notice the correlation between BTC prices and general asset prices (stocks, junk bonds, metals). We've been in a rally since June in all this stuff, and so if the correlation holds I'm hoping BTC will fall along with these other assets as we near the late fall/early winter timeframe.

Either way, it will be interesting to find out!

This thread should be titled "adam's last chance."

You shorted. It's ok. We all make mistakes. There is still time to get back in before we get to $20...
