 Heightened sense of smell is the bane of my existence.  Some colognes and perfumes give me an instant headache.  Those so-called air fresheners are just fuckin killer for me - they are not fresh at all.  My wife refrains from wearing perfumes and I love her for that.

The really cheap perfumes are made from industrial methylated spirit. The most expensive ones are made from pure drinking alcohol, which is heavily taxed to stop people drinking it. Maybe the dodgy perfumes that give you a headache are the industrial methylated spirit based ones.
 

I get a similar reaction to some scents - and it isn't because they're cheap.  

Ages back my (then new) gf seemed to suddenly start smelling bad, I told her to change her scent but it seemed to be on all her clothes, in her wardrobe etc.  I started to think it was her and we just were not compatible.  I told her I had this issue and asked her to let me sniff the perfumes she had.  It was just one and it nailed it.  I was so relieved (we are still together)

I don't know what chemical in the mix it was.  But I still notice it in a crowd if anyone is wearing scent containing it - it is so distinctive and it's not just one brand, it's an ingredient in some of them.  Mostly it seems it's only me who reacts to it, as the perfume she had was expensive, not cheap and sells ok. It was something with hints of 'wood' in its blurb BTW.

I now buy stuff for her whenever we're killing time in airports and we check it first.  @homer - Might work for you too - it likely isn't 'all scents' just one ingredient.

Wait and see what happens when all the MtGox Bitcoins are released into the wild if the current price is hovering around $3000 / BTC.

Self-Custody is a right. Say no to"Non-custodial"
Just think of it as chicken shit shorting

If you prefer I use my own trademark though so I don’t dilute your brand it’s ok.

You are either too tough on yourself or too humble.... because you seem to have something going, at least recently, seems like shorting would have been pretty profitable (if played correctly).

In other words, that name seems like it is just not going to inspire confidence from other peeps.

Just today, my great-aunt asked me how to short Bitcoin!


I admire you but I don’t believe you.

You know why silver doesn't work?  You need 195 kilos of it just to transfer one-hundred-thousand-dollars. It's heavy AF!

Even a burglar couldn't be fucked with that.  Take the jewellery, whisky and iPads instead.

Is that a three headed hippo?

Where's your stop profit?

Stopped using them because I always got it wrong.  Instead I chase the price downwards with a scale out of stop losses.  So let the market make the decision.  Its the JJG School of ShortingTM, gradually sell on the way down and then gradually buy on the way back up.

It seems to me that you need your own Hairy Bearie trademark for that variation of incrementalism because it significantly differs from my approach and my thinking (even though practically your approach seems to have decent practicalities)... Anyhow, my incrementalism approach is largely chicken shit about shorting (or using margin).

I used to think bitcoin go big moon but now think it go down to hell.

Zoom out, dip twat.. and don't get caught up into whatever seems to be the current momentum.

jjg having a fever?

short explanation?  

Just capitulation getting much much closer is all. You still have your part to play Goose in this cosmic dance. A pic of you eating some Ramen noodles or a cold can of beans would do the trick. If you wanna end this bear market quickly then sacrifices must be made to the Gods of Capitulation. Jimbo earnestly and sincerely telling us all to go fuck ourselves would also really help. Our families are waiting in desperate need so please do the right thing sirs. JJG, thank you for setting a good example and making a sacrifice. Im sure it wasnt easy writing such a short and concise piece of life advice to Pirate Dip Twat, we all know he could have benefited from some instructions on incremental selling and buying strategies.

Anyone have a chart comparing 2014 bear market difficulty to present day?

This guy has a nice color visual of it. He also makes a strong case that nothing matters but the halven'ing!
Buy aqua - sell orange!

this market right now feels a lot more like the the 2011/12 bear than the 2014/15 bear, more vicious, organic, dog-eat-dog and less managed/contrived/orchestrated/manipulated.

In 2011/12 Bitcoinica and the shorting mania that unravelled spectacularly there might have something to do with it ... the news of miners shorting (hedging production forward) makes me think we are very near the final capitulation. This often happens in commodities markets at the bottom, the producers sell forward production even though they are going broke and it is killing their future market, it's an act of total desperation, that's what this feels like.

Probably central banks (likely through their proxies like JPM and UBS) are starting to buy up some cheap coins, to hedge for future possibilities ya know too ... that gives it that extra vicious edge when nation state dogs fight over the same piece of kill meat too.

Edit.

There might be an inverted H&S forming on 1D.

Crossing fingers.

Not even halfway, way too early. One shoulder does not make a neckline.

Really hope for a bounce else it just looks like we are totaly rekt.

That's a hard chart to make meaningful. Different hardware availability, different hardware profitability, and different scales of mining companies. Too many variables really.

Anecdotally though, as a former miner from back then, I think this crash is a little bit deeper for miners (evidenced by the decreasing hash rate). I was mining back then and I was profitable until the second half of 2015 at which point I was mining at about break even for "electricity only" with $250 BTC. I was losing money on the facility costs and made no money for my time invested.

The operations now days are much larger with much larger fixed costs for facilities, loans and employees. $6000 was probably break even for them with the difficulty of a month ago. Now, difficulty is down ~20% and prices are down ~40%.

Every miner in the world is likely losing money now if they sell mining proceeds daily. Very few miners do that though. As a miner, you are a trader by default. Just like a farmer, you store your crops if you can and wait for the best time to sell. The longer these prices remain, the more miners will file for bankruptcy or sell their stash to cover basic necessities such as electricity and payroll.

With enough bankrupt miners, the difficulty should theoretically drop another 20% while prices stay ~$3500 to balance things out.


EDIT: The point though is that we are in the second half of 2015 if you are using mining difficulty/profitability as an indicator and comparing the last bear market to this one.
now the miners are shorting too.

Last time i checked even my parents were shorting BTC...  Roll Eyes

Shorts are big since the drop from 6k.

You know what do do when everybody and their dog is doing something? Do the opposite. I think we are very close to the next bull run. If granny is shorting bitcoin, it's time to buy.
