Topic: rpietila Wall Observer - the Quality TA Thread ;) - page 197. (Read 907212 times)

You should probably qualify that statement. Do you think one should sell all their coins with the hope of buying back in later, or perhaps a portion?

I would be extremely careful of selling too many off with the hopes of buying back in later. I do think we are heading lower, but one can never be certain.
And on top of that look at the global climate, the banking system, etc. A down move may be coming but if the FED is forced to launder money through
Belgium again to buy bonds in order to stop a dollar collapse ( http://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2014/05/12/fed-great-deceiver-paul-craig-roberts/ ) then this
can turn on a dime and a lot of people would do anything to get coins again at sub 1000 levels. Lots of other things can happen economically...

On the one hand, yeah, trade and try to pick up more coins.
On the other hand, don't get greedy. Big picture here...

Then again, not enough coins to go around, so sell, after all -
Its about sharing 

You guys should listen to rpietila, sell now and buy more coins for less, his predictions are the best ones around here. Even me - the retard with half brain can see the next crash to 350 coming in few days, dont let your pride be your doom.

Calling people retards and blaming them for poisoning your beloved community is sure to get this thread back on track .
You just spawned this post (and any future posts attacking or defending it), which further degrades the thread.

yeah. I tremendously enjoyed page 169 with ErisDiscordia, zimmah and others discussing inflation/deflation and other broader things less narrow-mindedly. Now this. Meh.

These forums used to be a great place. I guess greed, fear and the mindset of so many new members poisened this community quite a bit more than I'd like to admit.

Risto, please come back!  This thread is starting to go full retard in your absence.

Hey, people. You look like the Inquisition eager to burn everyone differently minded. This guy speaks his mind and he may be right or wrong, but that doesn't matter. He introduces alternative point of view and instead of blaming him you better be grateful to him for it. Yes, his speech may be somewhat offensive, but these personal attacks brings no honor neither to you nor him. Keep it constructive, we have a lot to learn from each other.

P.S. I neither support nor disagree with either side, but I keep all opinions in mind to be ready to act in changing situation.

Actually, you know nothing of my position. (Hint. You are wrong.)  You just endlessly display bitterness and a low intelligence. It has grown old. It is sunny outside, go play. Do something useful with your life. You have a finite number of moments to be alive, and you are wasting them here.

Wow, you surely sounds like one infamous historical personality here

Holding an appreciating asset is a form of work. It is sacrificing the utility of goods/services right now or other investments/fiat.
Some people desperately want to believe, some people desperately don't want to believe. Neither of them influence the outcome.


Bitcoin is a store of value and a transaction system. It attracts people that are interested in such things. Indeed it is not a religious or humanitarian endeavour. So the bitcoin community is bad because it circles around something that is different than virtues and right&wrong ?



It might be true in some posts. But have you read this one here ?
It is the rational mind, and not sentiments and faith, that lead people to understand that miracles will not be needed for bitcoin to succeed.

This might be true. But it sounds similar to real world mining. It consumes resources, it pollutes, it is sometimes done at a loss...
But still it happens... Why to concern yourself about others business and choices ?
Are you sure that bitcoin is fully dependant now and in the future on the mining system as it exists now ?


What can be blamed is negativity. Pessimism is ok if it is brought forward with rational arguments, not sentiments. Your post is just negative sentiments complaining about other people sentiments. It's useless and heavy for everyone.


You hope. Yes. But this is not the page for hope. Hope blinds reason and rational judgement. Here we discuss how to plan and take position in a way that makes the most sense, regardless of future outcomes. You chose the wrong post to complain about positive thinking.
Who is forcing you to come read this page and post things here ? Is the bitcoin market forcing you either way ?


First, you are the one bringing "whining" in this post. People will put it back at you. And because you are so entrenched in this whining you will see it as originating from them while it is in you only. Your post shows that you are a whining person and nobody is whining here apart from you.
And again, bitcoin does not need positive statements made in this forum to be a strong store of value.
May positive statements be made if it proves its worth, not otherwise.

So all alts is a good investment position and the over-hyped forum predictions are a good reason to make that move?
Call me a fanboy all you want, but I don't come here acting like I know exactly what's going to happen calling everyone else is a fool.  I'm somewhat excited by bitcoin, it's the only investment I hodl that has any chance whatsoever if mega-gains.  Due to a risk profile that's just as extreme as the reward one, my amt invested is not as high as it would be.  If that makes me a fanboy, so be it.

Said Bitcoin fanboy in May 2014.

Your hate for Bitcoin the community seems to be the primary factor in your decision making.  I believe the correlation between that and the price is something you fabricated in your head.  Bottom line, your awkward attitude is affecting your ability to invest intelligently.

Provide us with a post that's faintly constructive and/or interesting in either direction rather than shitting on what's just been written by someone else.

I dare you.

Easy solution.  Stop your whining, stop trolling this forum with your relentless negativity. Problem solved.

Your welcome.

That sounds about right, I'm not holding any coins since December. I have decided not to buy bitcoins anymore, and to buy a selection of altcoins instead, when the there will be a general trend reversal. Only reason why I still care about bitcoin, is that the market is young and foolish, so most other cryptos are highly dependant on bitcoin.
I just got tired of bitcoin and it's investment community. I got tired of people cheering CCMF with halfwits, while blaming everyone else for trolling who have a healthy sense of skepticism. I got tired of all the denial and stupidity of people who desperately want to believe that they can get rich without education, experience or just doing any work. The bitcoin community is far from being a community that is connected by virtues, technical skills or any sense of right and wrong. The main connection is made by blind greed, that has created a community of "If we all think positive thoughts, then miracles will happen!" people, who mostly remind me the ones who get easily involved with cults or pyramid schemes.

You can observe the sentiment of miners by looking at the mining forums. Desperation is specially strong with those who are still waiting for their pre-paid machines with long release delays. Bitcoin mining is a fool's game, with using an increased amount of resources, while not gaining anything in the aspects of speed or security of the network. That is why most of the miners are fools, who aren't exactly rich, meaning they can't hold up very long without getting into financial difficulties.

And like I said, I'm tired of being always blamed, just because I don't believe in the successful future for bitcoin's unit price. I'm tired of being called the badguy all the time, while the snake tounged bitcoin salesmen get praised even if their speculations are almost never right. I hope for a fast trend reversal, so I could buy my alts and win some money and gradually distance myself from this cesspool. In the meantime, I want to pistol-whip anyone who will start whining that this would happen if I would say more positive things and cheer ccmf together with the mindless drones.

Closer than you think.

Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.
