New quote added:

this volatility is joke. It can't be classed as a serious investment, we can have fun with it, but 40% falls in a few hours without any real reason, that isn't a serious investment.

Two new additions:

been pretty much all down hill from there, as I scrapped around with TA that I didn't really understand

I am a loser trader, and I make terrible decisions.  Overall, I have given more to the Bitcoin market than I have taken from it.

They weren't "devoured", they were put up to try and shake out longs.  Then they were all just pulled after.

There's around 8 million dollars in price suppression walls on multiple exchanges coordinated by one entity right now trying to force triangle convergence lower.  Much of it was Bitfinex staggered ask wall going from around 10k btc to 25k btc in a 24 hour period, while the same thing is going on at Bitstamp and BTCE on a more visible level.

The "not so invisible" hand of the market:





Those 'price suppression' walls have been erected to be devoured. Mark my words. When the 'jerks' really want to push the price down, the n00bs won't see it coming, or indeed, instead of price suppression walls they will put in price support walls, in order to encourage as many additional n00bs into long positions as they possibly can, before dumping on them all. Seen it many many times.

I gave up on Mat, he's the only person on my ignore list I think and a big factor why I don't bother posting my analysis anymore. Keep all the good stuff for myself.  I find him to be rude and obnoxious especially if you dare to have a different opinion than him. Still his quotes are amusing.

Yes, we are aware you and this "Phoneix1" person are part of the Mat "trading team" or "bonfire money team" or whatever you want to call it.
Well atleast this time there is no zionist world conspiracy or something around that line Grin

Mat is only an aspiring Jew, mostly an unsuccessful vampire at present.

You sound like you have a real problem with Jewish people.

Maybe I stole your girlfriend?  Sorry.

No, not really.  When you see a raccoon getting into your trash can and dumping it all over your yard, you don't hate the raccoon, you just say, welp, knew that was gonna happen.  When you see Goldman Sachs issuing mortgage backed securities, you just stare in awe thinking, this is a scheme only the Jews could even dream about attempting, while gazing at their sheer efficiency of wealth extraction.

He didn't say what his alternate spam acct name is.  God only knows what that is used for.

I have multiple accounts, in different names

Quoting only half of the sentence makes you look like a retard. And contradicts the whole idea of your thread. Wink

Well, it's a marketing strategy he's doing. If you look outside of the bitcoin community, you would be surprised that what he's doing is not so rare at all, although not as aggressive as this one.

You're claiming MatTheCat isn't a real person, he doesn't actually trade any Bitcoins, and just posts this shit here? LOL.  Most unrealistic conspiracy theory on Bitcointalk so far.  I assure you, those losses are real.
Whore?

Roach, you are one sad, sorry son of a bitch. I am sure external forces will make sure you a never in a position of wealth and power though fortunately, and you will certainly never be happy til you sort your shit out. Good luck with that ... it's gonna take at least a lifetime
You're like a broken fkin record ... could possibly be a bot, I'm not sure yet

This account must have been sold to a zionist banket shill just to troll you, right ? Or maybe I can clearly see that you are an arsehole ... you choose

Completely agree, cockr0ach is one ugly m0therf&cker.

Dat market manipulation, he's obv trying to buy cheap.

I'm pretty sure the goal was to buy high, sell lower
Funny but that's what most people end up doing despite their best intentions.  Day trading in any asset is risky, but I think bitcoin may rank up there with the riskiest--and most stressful too.  The market hasn't been as volatile as it's been in the past 3 years but you just never know.

Despite the erratic behavior, mat is pretty brazenly honest about his opinions but comes off as a whiner. Better than someone who completely bows out or trolls the situation. That said, I absolutely don't agree w/ his statements.

This Bullshit aint the work of an aggregate market.

This market is fucked.

This is just a few players with the power to defy all time learned principles of market mechanics

it is futile trying to read these markets

I bet you that nothing even close to the bullshit we see in Bitcoin happens on Forex

In defence of BTC trading, at least it is not as criminal as Forex

the splashes of the whales have frozen me in my tracks

these markets are just not to be traded

I can't reasonably expect to be able to play these markets

it is fucking galling having to witness this again.

During the pump n dump, I went from being an early investor and early proft taker, to FOMO merchant

pissing $$$ all over the floor

woke with a sore head and a whale's dick slapping you on the side of your cheeks. I know I have

this is brain damage of the highest order, and I aint even making money

Fucking rat cocksuckers. 6 fucking BTC trade with Stop Order

The majority who invest money in a vacuos asset like Bitcoin are certain to lose

So my plan is to look for long setups

I would gladly see Bitcoin die tomorrow

I don't care so much about Fundamentals, most of the time, they are just faeries stories

I fkn h8 Bitcoin...if I was a billionaire, I would gladly lose money crashing it into the dirt, just out of pure spite

Go on a date with Bitcoin

I also use it to buy drugs on the darknet

a cabal of vampire parasites takes its place....

I am hoping to walk away with other players money.

I now hold ZERO Bitcoins

Next BTC move will be to take BTC off exchanges, on to LocalBitcoins, where I shall sell to bunch of junkies and paedophiles

In the trader community that I am part of, NOBODY called this right

I shall let TA tell me when/if 'The Halving' is coming.

been pretty much all down hill from there, as I scrapped around with TA that I didn't really understand

I am a loser trader, and I make terrible decisions.  Overall, I have given more to the Bitcoin market than I have taken from it.

this volatility is joke. It can't be classed as a serious investment, we can have fun with it, but 40% falls in a few hours without any real reason, that isn't a serious investment.
