I like the way this is going. This kind of behavior shows some very interesting things. Theres some whales accumulating large amounts of bitcoin, they make this dips in order to buy more cheap coins. And they are also holding the bitcoin price at the 1000 range, till they have enought coins and then they will release the brake and the price will go mad.

There are at least a couple  of errors in this kind of thinking.

1) we are on the internet and we are engaging in a discussion of topics.  In Cassius's situation, he is avoiding the topic and instead he wants to focus on me rather than the topic of discussion.  Frequently that is referred to as an ad hominem attack, or it could also be referred to as avoidance of the issue or it could be referred to as diversion,  distraction or just the brining up of pure irrelevance.

2) My attacks on people tend to be largely substantive based on their behavior in avoiding issues or maybe failing or refusing to back up their claims.  Sure once in a while I will throw in some kind of seeming attacks that seem to be about them, but mostly my attacks are either defending from being attacked or merely escalating (and/or exaggerating) and argument that I might be making based on their behavior  such as their refusal to provide evidence or to back up their claims.  Anyhow, my claim remains that my posts are mostly substantive with a bit of flavor that may be added from time to time for emphasis.    

3) By the way, this is kind of related to point two..  I don't really take matters in posts personally, but sometimes it is quite clear that some folks either avoid answering or they engage in passive aggressive personal attacks, for whatever reasons (including sometimes what appears to be lack of an ability to engage or to back up their points), and surely sometimes these kinds of passive aggressive behaviors come after I have called them out mostly based on their prior conduct.  I actually have no problem reverting back to discussing matters civily and rationally with someone who makes such attempts to discuss matters rather than engaging in avoidance (even if those persons had previously engaged in pussy behaviors... I have done this a variety of times, even with folks like billyjoeallen, aztecminer, or even recently attempted with Cassius.. even though he seems to have an inability to stay on topic.. hahahahahha..   ).

jesus the font on that website is awful. I can barely read it. What are they thinking?

Unless satoshi himself starts dumping or a county like china/US completely BANS bitcoin 800 will never happen.

If anyone has still not read this article they should right away

that is my opinion all along: jjg is doing exactly what he is accusing others. i did not know that was a known phenomenon. i thought he is just trolling. good find, cassius.

most likely that btc will go to 2000 usd price range before going back to 800 usd

or 1800 ...

If you are serious, you are fool for at least two reasons:

1) you come off as relying on internet advices to make financial decisions for yourself and your situation,

and

2) if you are not in bitcoin at all, then waiting for $800s is stupid because you are betting too much on one direction. 


On the other hand (in relation to point 2), if you have a 60% or 70% stake in your bitcoin related funds that are allocated to bitcoin, and you are merely considering what to do with your other 30% to 40% that is in fiat, then waiting for $800s would be a bit more reasonable to consider, even though I would not even bet that much on such probability of $800s... but yeah some folks have differing views, and bet accordingly...

So bitcoin will go down to 800sh soon? I'll wait for that to happen before I will re-enter then.

good grief what?  I asked you to explain, and I provided my own assessment... but instead you gots nothing, except for finger pointing and implied whining that you are being picked on (but you are the one that spouted out the incomplete ideas in the first place that raised these kinds of questions, no?)

Oh good grief...

I don't think anyone is not reading what you said, as you keep asserting.  We just disagree and frame the situation in differing ways.

I think that your scenario(above) of "we are here," has a fair chance of being correct, but likely a whole hell of a lot less than 99%.. Maybe 60% or so?  I don't know, but no where near 99%.. that is ridiculous.   Also, you are claiming that we are in a downwards spiraling wedge at the moment.. and you were even implying (though you deny such) that the $800 would be coming sooner.. (but now you seem to be putting that $800 claim a bit further into the future.  I don't really have a problem with any of the details of your prediction, but just a bit irritated by your seeming desire to want to be correct and also by some of the certainty that you are describing from time to time without being a bit more flexible in regards to timeline implications (yeah you deny that too... but think about some of the ways that you phrase matters that could sometimes lead folks to misreading, if you are not intending such.. without accusing them of failing to study your fine details).

What is heavier, a kilo of feathers or a kilo of gold?

Please stop the gold parity talk. It's stupid (for now at least).

I'm not sure about what speculative point you are making here that is of any significance?

Sure, we know that they were extensively faking volume, but after they discontinued margin trading and implementing fees, you want to suggest that they continued to fake volume in any kind of meaningful way that caused further PBOC intervention... that does not make sense.  Those exchanges were already on the PBOC radar by the time the PBOC had already intervened to cause them to discontinue margin trading and to implement fees.  The later intervention in regards to getting the exchanges to implement AML requirements is just a further intervention along the same theme... the lack of impact of the latest intervention might have more to do with the fact that the intervention had already started rather than the fact that the latest intervention does not have teeth.. because it is a bit of a bad precedent, no?  to freeze the ability of BTC holders to move their BTC from the exchanges for 30 days... that seems quite a bad thing if you had BTC on the exchanges and just for the precedent that it potentially sets.

That should be fun to watch. Didn't Marcus create a thread just for that purpose?

I know that a troy ounce is a pretty arbitrary unit on which to base a comparison, but it is the unit most commonly quoted for the price of gold.

Approaching gold-ounce parity is where the Chinese government has twice dropped the price of Bitcoin, first in 2013 with their phony Bitcoin "ban" and then again this year with their exchange "inspection" announcement. It seems like it must be an important psychological barrier to them.

Fun indeed.

^bitcoin strong ~ $1200 parity with gold inkoming :-D

Good morning ladies and gentlemen of Bitcoinland.

I see it didn't take long to get back to quadruple digits... currently $1003USD (Bitcoinaverage).

Sorry bears, your pipe dreams of $800 coins are just wishful thinking. Wake up and face reality.

If actual exchange withdrawal freezes can barely dip prices below $1000 for a day, it shows how powerful the uptrend is.

I hope everyone stocked up on the dirt-cheap triple-digit coins when they had the chance.

Except $1080 is not moon. Accordingly, if 'moon and three sad kitties' has any validity at all (as if), we'd currently be existing the small drop after the booster stage.

Again - $1080 is not moon. $3 was moon in its day, as were $32, $266, and $1117. Today, moon would be somewhere around $7669.

Cassius i was not referring to you exactly when i wrote that... i only did a fast-read of the last pages to get the trend of the posts
