Crash bounce pause spike second bouce. If this follows the pattern, it will drift up to ~ $441 and then drift down and down into the next crash.

Just sayin'.   ;-)

The Department of Defense should be aware of the following:

[Virtual Currencies]'s represent the latest step toward decentralized cyber services.
In particular, the historical trend suggests the development
of a resilient public cyber key terrain, which this report
defines as the ability of unsophisticated cyber actors to have
persistent, assured access to cyber services regardless of whether
a highly sophisticated state actor opposes their use. This has
implications for national firewalls, access to extremist rhetoric,
the feasibility of nation-state cyber attacks, and the ability to
maintain uninterruptible and anonymous encrypted links.

This report will examine the potential for terrorist, insurgent,
or criminal groups to increase their political and/or economic power
by deploying a VC to use as a currency for regular economic transactions
rather than exploiting existing VCs as a means of illicit transfer,
fundraising, or money laundering.

Self-Custody is a right. Say no to"Non-custodial"
Well, we've already had a little back and forth in respect to some of the government-related discussions, so surely such a topic could come up again... if we were to choose to engage.

But regarding your hodl strategy.   Your registration date for this forum account is March 2013.    That's a long time to hodl?  Would you also accumulate a bit more BTC, or does your personal financial or cashflow situation make accumulation of more BTC less than practicable.

For example, with me, through my two years of accumulating bitcoin, I have been buying with whatever spare fiat that I have and even allocating a budget and a plan for how much BTC I am authorizing myself to buy for any given planned period.

I only recently started trading (since about October, when the price crossed over $250 for about the 5th time)... and trading has certainly opened up some new perspectives for me.... even though I started plotting out some of my trading plans in August and September  (and initially allocating about less 1% of my total BTC holdings for trading, and then as the BTC price continued to rise, my allocation percentage of BTC trading continued to rise too (but probably still quite less than 10% of my total BTC holdings). 

The actual application of the trading  plans (rather than the theory) have caused me to have to tweak my practices quite a bit and even figure out some strategies for considering making my practice comfortable for me and my situation.

Anyhow, I am just thinking that many long term hodlers are also accumulating additional BTC at certain price points, at minimum.

well let's just say that my situation in early 2013 was much more favorable to accumulation of btc than it is now due to much lower prices of btc coupled with a higher availability of $ at my side  Cheesy

now with my available $ and the current prices of btc I don't even bother buying, because it would change my position by...not very much at all.




That's fair enough.    So, for example, a person who may have acquired 1,000 BTC for about $20 each is going to have a bit of a different perspective and approach under current market conditions from a person who acquired 100BTC for anywhere between $400 and $600 each

Good morning Bitcoinland.

Holy volatility Batman. Seems the buying opportunity for which I'd hoped has vanished overnight.

The dip below $425 was buyable, $440 less so. Oh well, maybe next time.

Besides my last suggestion of using pywallet there is another way of retrieving private keys using some old tools from 2011. There is a tutorial at this link, but it's only for wallets from 2011, not for later versions. That's why the first thing you read in the thread is a warning that it's out of date.

[GUIDE] Simple wallet recovery using bitcointools

It uses some python software called bitcointools to get the job done.

If worse comes to worse, it's possible to just use the BDB tools to dump the database as a text file and pull the private keys from that.

That's what I was thinking.

Stamp looks bullish! Some fresh fiat arrived or what?  Cool

Long closed, cuz sleep. $1500 profit.

$1500 profit on a (if you timed it perfectly) $20 rise? therefore 75 bitcoins bought and sold? which is a presumably tiny % of your total stash?

With leverage you don't need 75btc.
Correct. I'm using leverage on finex. The calls weren't quite as perfect as he said but close. My open/close/profit actually only refers to the leveraged trade. I rarely mess with the principal.




LOL. That's a chart of a classic Four Punch Raid. YOU'RE the four punch raider!  Good thing I'm already sitting in cash.

Damn! $5 Million in new margin longs opened up on BFX driving the interest rate to 1/3% DAILY!
that's about 6X what it's been lately.

Probably a bug... Because there was no big buys when that big loan was taken. Bitfinex is acting super strange.

+1 Any speculation why they have those bugs all the time?

Hard to say, but I know I'm not using them until they fix this. If they ever fix this... MtGox 2.0?

buy back my btc that i sold above 440 and withdrawing...  Cool   im not taking chances   Wink
