increased volatility leads to many short term trading opportunities to be able to turn some profits in a short period of time, which also seems to take some patience, some predicting in the right direction some ability to set stop losses when the market goes in a direction opposite of what is predicted... I tend to NOT be too great at these kinds of shortterm trades (of BTC), because frequently when BTC prices begin to go up, I get nervous that I am going to be left behind and the price is Never going to come back down to the price in which I had sold, and accordingly, that nervousness causes me to put all my extra money back into BTC before I get an opportunity for the pay off... rather than attempting to wait for the downturn to come back in order that I can get paid off..
In any event, I am NOT 100% certain that $200 will be tested again, even though it seems pretty likely that there will be such a test before the BTC price returns upwards....
Also, most of the 4 or 5 volatility issues that I mentioned in my earlier post remain ongoing issues that have NOT yet been resolved in order to allow for certain upward BTC price movement….

wasn't just laughing about the fact that people have been touting slush pool on the side of xt so it's funny to see them come out and say they wouldn't run it. Besides, If you can't see the difference between xt and just running big block patch on core that's your problem.
Well, I find it funny that people care about whether others run XT or Core; since that choice, besides being irrelevant, is practically invisible from the outside. Even the difference between the various BIP100s is not important at first.
The fact that you are too dense or disingenuous to understand the differences between XT, Core & the various BIP1xx does not make it true Stolfi, go play outside won't you? You brain is in need of much needed fresh air.
People here still falling for that Trolfi schilling?
It seems he's absolutely intent on getting his face in the dictionary right next to the word "disingenuous". Real academics and scientists look for facts that challenge their assumptions. Trolfi's only here to point out things he thinks back his own agenda and, unless you press his buttons just right, he usually does such a fine job of pretending he's earnest, sincere and objective that people keep falling for it.
In short, in spite of the fact that he occasionally points out something useful or says something vaguely intelligent, it's just camouflage for his nonsense and he can be safely ignored. He's such a proficient troll that he's quoted far more than he should be so you're unlikely to miss anything anyway.
Hahahahahahaha
Right on about Trolfi... .. but I kind of gave up on the battle to call him out a while back...
Regarding BTC pricing and recent volatility:
I do get the sense that there is going to be at least one more test of $200 by people selling and dumping BTC, but you can never know for sure when it comes to bitcoin prices. Yesterday, btc prices seemed to have been crashing along with fiat money systems and stock market systems; however, I would have thought that BTC prices would have been somewhat opposite of those mainstream systems ... even though maybe in the short-term BTC prices will sometimes correlate rather than serving as an opposing indicator
My sense is that in the past few days there have been several uncertainties contributing to volatility in BTC prices. 1) fork issue, 2) ongoing uncertainties with fiat/stock market systems, 3) bitfinex (BTC exchange located in Hong Kong) going down in the past couple of days several times for extended periods with crazy ass messages from Bitfinex administrators, 4) increases in Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt (FUD) spreading by BTC market manipulators that seems to occur more frequently when BTC price momentum seems to be overall on a downward trajectory and 5) other unaccounted for unknowns (at least unknown by me at the moment)....

I understand the differences, but you should make an effort to see through them and really understand how much they matter.

bitfinex looks like it trading...
August 25, 2015, 09:23:37 PM
So are you guys saying that Bitfinex is the exchange where all the dumpers hang out?
If so, I hope stays shut down.... forever.

If you have half a brain it's time to short, check out the resistance line at bitfinex. Expect either a huge pump (insanely ulikely) or a dump.
yeahhh i see it
this is a litle pump before hard pump may be next 2-3 days will be pumping it
we have to move real slow sideways for awhile or we might break bitfinex ..
another predict maybe come true

"Withdrawal processing has been restored to normal, withdrawals should all be processed shortly."
All right people, the disaster has been averted and the price is at $222.22. That means you must buy, because it is a magic number in China!

I see the price has inexplicably failed to collapse to double digits.
