Immunolost: I'd like books explaining the complexity of Distributed Systems; Nexus Causality; and Holism: or what seems to be the counter-intuitive observation that somehow wholes can be more than the sum of their parts.

Secretary: But this is a podiatrist's office.

Immunologist: Sorry. My mistake.

Bitquick. I used to get a 7% premium, but I had to drop it to 4%.

It's risky because everyone I sell to gets my bank account number, but people on localbitcoins get mugged, so it's a tradeoff.

Now, in my part of the swamp, if you call somebody a liar, they might just drop you on the spot. The cops wouldn't even do anything if they did because there's a legal concept called "fighting words." But I wouldn't do that because I'm a libertarian and I take the whole "non-aggression" thing seriously. Still, it would show character if you were to step up like a man and apologize. It won't hurt my feeling if you don't, but it's an opportunity for you to show some class.

Explanation

Don't be so hard on yourself. I bought between $6 and $12 then the market went up to $32 and then down to $3 and stayed there for a year and a half. Just hold. If we ever get this scaling thing worked out, you'll do fine. 

You probably recall that for nearly 2 years, I have had several back and forth discussions with you including politics, but yep, my recent "attacks" in your direction had been aimed more at some of the contents of your recent repetitive posts and even your self-proclaimed assertions that sincerity doesn't matter... and your other assertions that your employment of exaggeration is a good thing in order to better draw attention to your topic(s) and to make points. 


Regarding your selling btc at retail (and above retail), is that on local bitcoins or directly meeting with people or some other advertisement mechanism?

I've recently sold a few bitcoins on local bitcoins, and I understand that the premium that you can ask depends upon the geographical location and accordingly the competition in that area. 

Also, sometimes people are more interested to buy when they see that the prices are going up, rather than going down or sideways.


recently, I was selling some BTC on local bitcoins for 3-4% premium, but then in the past week or two, I noticed some guy had begun to advertise in my area and coming in and advertising 2-3% below my asking price, so recently, no one has been contacting me and requesting to buy BTC from me.

Who knows?  I don't have very much experience with local bitcoins or other direct BTC sales mediums, but I suppose that there could be other avenues to advertise a willingness to sell BTC in which the competition is not so tight?

 

I just did a quick back of the envelope calculation, if you (Fatman) convince BJA to sell me 50 BTC at $1.20 each, then my BTC portfolio will be approximately at a breaking-even point.   


 a great idea, no?


That is if BJA even has 50 BTC.... hahahahahaha

Ok. An immunologist walks into a podiatrist's office...

I never claimed to be "really selling anything". What I am doing (again) is taking money off the exchange. The fact that I have to reduce the premium I get for selling retail indicates anecdotally that western demand is depressed.

I think if I was going to lie to make a bearish argument, I would invent something more persuasive, but apparently you consider my point so devastating to the bull camp that it must be fabricated. or something. I don't really understand your hostility.

This thread is probably why there are so many diseases.

hahahahahaha


Keep up man, that lying is so yesterday's news.

sounds like you sold some BTC, and then bought them back, so in the end, you didn't really sell anything and you made a bit of a trading profit in the process.

Shhhh!!! Don't do that!!!


Can't you hear him typing?

some trolling is tolerated in this forum and probably more so in this thread, since the topics entertained herein tend to be extremely varied and even diverging from their connection with bitcoin (though some of us could argue that most topics are somehow connected with bitcoin), but you've gotta admit that other trolling just goes too far, including Lambie and his/her / its various shell accounts.

What am I lying about, again? I was trying to sell a couple coins, they finally sold at about $430 (retail). I bought them back at a slight discount, but other than that my entire trading account is in cash. Honest injun.

Other circles again would just call it trolling, but that's why I like this place.

Explanation

In some circles, that would be classified as "white knighting," no?   but whatever floats your boat.  If you think, BJA needs your assistance, then surely that's your choice.

I will take that as a joke comment, and maybe you will still plan to attend the break even party, if it were to occur, and even attempt a little gusto in the celebrations.   

Regarding wall of text, there is some meaning within those words, if you were to read them.   




I don't know about "grievous," but I was irresistibly motivated to point out the issue near the time of the occurence.

Nope

Sometimes, when you see someone facing an insurmountable task, you step up without being asked.

The train is going sideways...

Don't lecture me!

a $4 bump is hardly a reason for train gifs. What does a $10 bump get, rockets?
