Topic: Today is the first day of notorious Korea/Japan/China new year - page 2. (Read 705 times)

Looking like the lunar year or whatever you guys call it didn't make as much trouble for btc as we imagined it might have. It did dropped a bit for a while and reached to like 8200ish levels but now its back over 8600 and honestly that is good enough for me.

If the price goes down that is very scary, we don't know if it will continue to go down or what will happen, however whenever price recovers from a fall that means we are still in the bullish times and nothing major may have for a little more while, I am not saying bitcoin will never go down under 8k or something here, but at least for a little bit more while we are in the bull run and we may yet to see still higher prices like 10k or even more if these continue to happen, it all depends on if we will be able to break the resistance or not.

I bet it’s celebrated by the nations surrounding the China too, I had played some mobile games that’s featuring Korea, and they’re doing promotional sales on their dlc for this special day, the same goes for Japan and other part of the south east Asia. Btw the celebration is far from over, I think it’ll usually last for a few weeks, and don’t forget the white Christmas to follow in the coming weeks, I’d expect the impact on the bitcoin price to be little or nothing.

That’s hilarious, btw it’s not common to use physical red envelope anymore since the digital money has gone mainstream. Try running away from a digital red envelope send by the internet, there is no way to run from it. The cuisine is fantastic, my favourite would have been the meat jerky that’s specially prepared by obscure chef, I’d crave into it all the time.

The thing is getting too ridiculous when we begin to see both young boy and girl avoiding it like a plague, boy hiring freelance to impress on the party, or girl hiring boy to pretend the the relationship. The entire scene look faking just to impress, they’ll even fake their wealth status by spending on cars and dressing up in a gentlemen
/lady suit. What’s the point to trying so hard. Certainly I wouldn’t hope the same goes for Christmas.

I’m certain the mainstream is misleading the celebration, it is used to be nothing more than gambling and feasting, but thing changed when mainstream new start making many additions into the mix, it soon become a time to impress other people with their social status, I think it the day for the wealthy to assert their domination into the masses. And it soon followed by all the non sense comparison that craved by the sjw badly.

Exactly, you’ll have been humiliated to have nothing to show off. That’s not a party for the faint heart, especially for the young mind who have nothing but to start their empire from scratch, no reason to boggle your mind over the non sense advices toss at you.

For one, Chinese New year is not only a Chinese holiday. many countries other than China are also celebrating. It’s a holiday there where a lot of people go traveling, so the idea is they’re taking money out of the market for other things during this time. It’s expected that the money will go back into the market when the holiday is over. If you look at the last few years you will see each year before Chinese New Year prices have majorly dropped. History tends to repeat itself. Also after Chinese New Year they tend to go way up. Expect major dip Weds and Thurs and next week prices to increase.

LOL, I guess that pretty much some up everything if you are going to a family reunion and you have nothing to show-off.   Been there myself, but I was not affected by it, I just take everyone's advise and get out and build my own future. Anyways, belated Chinese New year, and btw, it doesn't have any significant effect on the market price.

I am not of the Chinese ancestry though I am Asian too. Here in my county, the Chinese culture is quite a pervasive one since they are dominating the business scene, holding a great percentage of our country's capital and wealth. We generally admire the Chinese culture because they are very entrepreneurial, and they know what they want and are so willing to sacrifice a lot just to get there, many of the traits that we also want to have. I and my family are not so familiar with the Chinese New Year because we are not celebrating it, but we are always aware of this festival because they are always mentioned in the mainstream and social media every year. Sadly, we have this false idea that doing what Chinese are doing can also be bringing luck to our side when in fact we usually do not understand the traits and the sacrifice that Chinese businessmen/women are putting up to be successful.

Belated Happy Lunar New Year and I hope the NCoV didn't rained on you party too much. I understand the "pain". 

Not just New Year's but pretty much every large annual gathering goes like this . It's basically a way for relatives to keep tabs on each other's current social/economic standing, whether someone's lagging (in which case you get "advise") or leaving them behind (in which case they'll simmer quietly while "being happy" for you LOL).

I saw a video promoting kids to run away from the ang pao, I don't know if that has always been a thing or this was due to the fear of Corona-chan corrupting the kids.

Also, why do I feel that you dislike these relatives of yours? LOL. Anyway celebrations should be over by now, I hope you at least enjoyed the food.

That’s absolutely brilliant.

TBH that’s not by choice, you can’t stop everyone to want to sound out their opinion, and compare each value you provide, they would cry about how their breadwinner are not the best and they should have this 40 quality to be a perfect spouse, and cry to their mum their life suck to be married. You can’t stop them to judge you based on their expectation, they’d rule out you not fit the bill.
