Uhm, people don't even need to speculate on how much other hodlers hodl.  A certain someone already openly stated that Trendon Shavers alone cost him 1.6K BTC, and that's after deducting "interest" received.  So the principle amount is even higher.  No need to read up past posts either.  People can also make educated guess simply based on the year that they started accumulating BTC, assuming that they hadn't lost it through the million ways that you can lose your BTC.  

$17,552 because it would close out shorts at 14,500. 

There is only a $100 spread at this moment. That is much less than 1%. Not worth the risk I would say.

Pft. You are a huge bear. Admit it.

Meanwhile, this spread is still getting to me. Even at a couple hundred bucks it seems someone could make a million dollars a day just buying on Finex and selling on Stamp. I know I'm missing something.

Edit: now the spread is gone. Ok then.

From my perspective it’s not a bearish sentiment, it’s a recognition that there’s limited new liquidity on the exchanges due to the public holidays and difficulty transferring fiat up to 31 January.  We also have to deal with the 2X fork on the 28th.

If the poll date was 15 January I would’ve given quite a different answer.

$18017

One must go against this general bearish sentiment ...

This is a fun game. I speculate HarryMaclairy has exactly 178 Bitcoins.

I said 4 digits as a big probability and MAYBE even (low) 5's... as in I would not be surprised at all if it were as much as 5, but my bet is on (a well in) 4. Again, this is just pure speculation and let's just take into account it doesn't represent in any way what anyone does or doesn't actually holds, which is really none of my business.

Regarding his trading style, with small spreads, I think it is in fact consistent with a well funded trader. When each of those trades is a good amount you don't really need a lot of spread to make significant profits plus you can split the funds into much more and smaller orders than if you are using bigger spreads -that could turn into little "walls" and influence the market behaviour with smaller fishes trying to "frontrun" your orders-.

I think jbreher is a very logical and rationale person for the most part. It it is just the "going full bigblocktard" stuff which makes me question and try to understand his rationale on that decision. I think maybe, just maybe, there is something to learn there... If I wanted to live in a echo chamber I would just talk to myself and ignore everyone else that (even slightly) disagrees with my opinions.

I can't neither consider his "XMAS giving" as irrational. For sure there is some obvious inconsistency in the fiat value of that one BTC from past years but first and foremost it is just his fucking business

I could even speculate and come up with a plausible explanation for the rationale behind it but... again... let's just mind our own business?

Everybody is bearish as fark. Y'all are frightening me.

After colour coins and country coins, the new trend in 2018 will be bitcoin fork coins

B2X is a well balanced fork, 2.5 min block, segwit and 4 mb blocks....not sure about the change of algo tho.

Fark I missed a zero.  $13,400

Anyone ‘heeding your warnings’would be 10% down right now

It doesn't look like it held firm to me. The volume was lower than the past 3 major drops (its supposed to increase) and the recovery over the next 3 days was rather weak compared to previous. Just look at a daily chart to see what I mean.

I picked 12k-14k on the poll when it was posted, so to keep within that theme, $13603. 

It wasn’t a fluke it was a concerted attempt to test the foundations of the market and the market held very firm and hasn’t been anywhere near that point since.

$11111.11

Oh no.

$266

Happy XMAS everyone!

But you are all missing (at least) one zero!
