What happened to the shorts vs usd swaps chart?

looks like an opportunity to me:


I feel like a 3rd grader, but can you tell me what you see as an opportunity?  All I can get out of that is spaghetti.  You seem to be good at explaining things to non-trolls and I assure you, I am here to learn.

For those who care about the money velocity parameter, this might be of interest:

Basically, it is guesswork, derived from GDP and money supply.

Those "73 stakeholders" who were awarded all the Nxt coins that would ever exist were quite possibly 1 developer + 72 sock puppets.

That would conveniently explain why the NXT price did not stall sooner when it was being pumped, unlike for example the Monero price that is an actual product of market mechanism between thousands of actors.

I can assure you I am not a sock puppet (neither guys like Pouncer, Neer, bybitcoin, etc).
Criticism is great but stupid arguments are not - I thought you were a serious guy...

DISCLAIMER: I own 0 NXT at the moment..

The image of Mr. E and KootieCoon as Nxt Superheroes was supposed to set a non-serious tone for my last post.  It was hyperbole.  I don't actually believe that all of the original Nxt stakeholders were sock puppets, nor do I actually believe that KootieCoon looks like Cartman and wears a racoon costume while frantically refreshing his browser as he waits for an opportunity to strike.   

The broader point I was making stands up to scrutiny: there's no way to avoid sock puppet purchases with an IPO.  Questions about the legitimacy of the distribution will always remain. 
I was a bit harsh, apologies Smiley

You are right about a percentage of sock puppets, NEM proves this and personally I suspect that about 200-300M NXT were used from the developers to protect the network (and probably won't be sold for a long time)..

I have no proof for the above claim.

A little too convenient. For shame.

Well well well.  If it isn't the dynamic duo: Brilliant Mr. E and his sidekick Kootiecoon.  How come you guys always come out together?  Are you like Nxt superheroes waiting for an opportunity to pump your POS coin?





Nxt is over BTW.  It had a brief moment of glory but the market is waking up to the problem with POS--especially those that were distributed by "IPOs."  Those "73 stakeholders" who were awarded all the Nxt coins that would ever exist were quite possibly 1 developer + 72 sock puppets.

Frankfurt court bans Uber taxi services across Germany

Perhaps they shouldn't have chosen a German name for the company.

Especially uber. Very touchy name.
