I am still amazed at how quickly people give out their money to complete strangers with a compelling
story how it will benefit them without really even knowing what is going on in the back ground.

fun times.

I will just keep mining and selling into this recent awesome upswing in prices! USD for me.
The sure thing in my book.

Boo on editing.  People's replies to censored comments are out of context.

... and made $20K USD

and [claimed to have] made $20K USD

but for that to have happened with no change in net position after it was all over, there would have needed to have been buying volume equal to 85% of the selling volume.  that doesn't appear to have occurred: http://bitcoincharts.com/charts/mtgoxUSD#rg1zig1-minzczsg2012-07-17zeg2012-07-18zm1g10zm2g25zi1gAccDistzvzcv

now if you were on an ego trip, and had other people's bitcoins where you could throw caution to the wind with no recourse, this makes more sense.

Pirate is too small of a fish to control and direct the bitcoin market over the long run. He can try short term but longterm fail - as he has even already admitted.

He warned to stop buying... then he crashed the market by 15% Shocked

He made $20K USD, but he will not get those coins back for the same price..

[2012-07-17 05:55:53] zab_, this is the first time ive ever played the market.  It was simply a statement, I don't plan on making it part of my process.  It's simply a warning.

[2012-07-17 06:36:07] Last warning....
[2012-07-17 06:36:31] Sell everything
[2012-07-17 06:38:55] I warned you guys right?

[2012-07-17 06:42:38] Ill say it one more time, STOP BUYING
[2012-07-17 06:43:32] Bitcoin bubble is not good for any of us.
[2012-07-17 06:46:33] People are still buying like idiots.

[2012-07-17 07:39:58] keverw, never trust a pirate.

[2012-07-17 07:48:28] zab_, that's what i want.

[2012-07-17 07:53:20] opticbit, do you know how pump and dumps work?
[2012-07-17 07:54:32] opticbit, today's activity is based on the 80% of the market not paying attention.

[2012-07-17 07:57:21] 80% is the people not in our tiny community.
[2012-07-17 07:57:28] Im trying to make a point here.
[2012-07-17 08:06:28] well guys, i think i've scared off the sellers. I'm tired and going to call it night and let the bots play.  IRCFrEAK, im pulling the my wall and dumping.... Get ready!
[2012-07-17 08:08:20] Ya'll keep buying... ill see ya in the morning.  Night
[2012-07-17 08:08:38] good night pirate

Code:
this was kind of like a training simulation.
it will all make sense soon enough.

crashed is != corrected.
we don't want another bubble and my charts/triggers were screaming at me.

pirateat40, could you stop another "rally" if one were to ignite right now and buy up above $10?
proudhon, i could take use to 1.80 if i needed to.

There is no point in the last 7 months that I've not been in control of the market.

Keep buying people...
I'm just going to say this [one] time.... If you panic buy, you're going to lose.
Yes, Everyone BUY
GO!, NOW
The more you buy the more I make.

this is the first time ive ever played the market. It was simply a statement, I don't plan on making it part of my process. It's simply a warning.

Pirateat40 was feeling chatty during/after the rally/crash yesterday.

i hope some psychologist is documenting all this and preparing for the post-mortem, it will be a great read.

I've posted a partial IRC log to: http://pastebin.com/PthgrzDS

The logfile has been edited for brevity. This was done by removing whole lines of text that I felt was irrelevant.
The logfile contains the answers to many questions about yesterday's rally, and raises some new, unsettling questions.

Feel free to discuss and post interesting highlights.
