Nobody but me is shorting. Just look at BFX.com.  Only 691 shorts opened up in the last 24 hrs. All the short-sellers (except me) got wiped out in the November spike. No, two million bucks worth of margin longs deleveraged to bulls. That's all. That means they only have another 24 million to deleverage before they can pull their damn coins out of BFX before it goes GOX.  

This is the simple reason why shorting BTC was just plain dumb.

There is a limited number of BTC available to borrow to short Bitcoin.

On the other hand there is an infinite number of dollars available to borrow to leverage long into Bitcoin. You guys are complaining about $24 million leveraged longs on bfx, well the banks have over $100 trillion in leveraged dollar longs. The supply of dollars to borrow is infinite.

Just wait until the Gemini exchange in wall street gets going. It's going to make bfx look like a doll house. And Gemini will have access to all the dollars in the world to lend to people, but they will have very few BTC to lend as well. You do the math.

I'm a firefighter. You can't put out a conflagration with a garden hose, no matter how much water you have in the tank. Capacity matters.

As a firefighter, do you also have cantankerous, intransigent opinionated positions on technical details of the electricity network grid, the railway network, the telecomms infrastructure or interstate traffic systems?

Yes. In every case you mentioned, capacity matters. If the core devs can't increase capacity, then we have a 6.7 billion dollar network that can only handle half a million active users, no matter how high fees they pay.

I also don't power whole cities with an extension chord or run bullet trains on narrow gauge tracks.

BJA, give them a day to mourn.

All that milking of lolcows has turned out to be rather stressful work.

I am just a firefighter, but before that I was a nuclear power plant operator in the Navy, so you may not want to dismiss my technical opinions so easily.  Blue collar guys can know a thing or two about complex systems.

You're basically saying the core devs either can't get the network to scale or they won't. Which case is supposed to make me bullish?

ok ... the overnight model runs are in and the news looks good.

456 was expected to be an important number and looks to have confirmed. 500 is a pressure point but not an important number as such, 600 equally weighted.

620 is an important number ... strangely there doesn't seem to be much else between ATH 1250 ish (pressure point) and then important number 1666!

You mean much else besides a 1 MB brick wall?  You seriously think we could get that high without jamming up the network? I'm a firefighter. You can't put out a conflagration with a garden hose, no matter how much water you have in the tank. Capacity matters.

Do you honestly believe people right now are buying coins to use them for transactions? Are you that dense?

Have you ever heard of drugs?

looks like a trend reversal and a double top. Probably holding the price up until futures settlement.

It's all mathematics...!
Back when Proudhon was the resident shitposter

I wonder what happened to him

 Cry

IIRC, Proudhon said he'd found all the trolling he was doing had an unfortunate effect on him and decided to stop. Rather respectable, really.

haha, he trolled so hard he actually turned himself into a bitcoin hater ... and then hated himself.
I miss Proudhon, he was a comic genius.

Proudhon was ok but was better in the early days...
