Not a single word about LTC, how it's going down and how apparently it wants to take BTC with it?
Seriously now, is was just me expecting a decoupling from LTC and some transients along?

Really looks like that bitcoin failed as an experiment
For people like you who leverage 20x and take loans to buy BTC chasing their Hopium? Yes. For investors and traders, not so much IMO.

If you want a casino, you should go to an actual casino, or maybe try Ripple I guess.

care to explain how someone can do stupid things regardless of what happens next?
I cannot believe you do not understand this: It is stupid to increase your slippage cost, reduce your execution chances and increase your counter-party exposure by selling only on one single exchange. It does not matter what followed after. And in his case, the price actually rose for months afterwards, and he sold at the bottom. Had he had a modicum of sense execution wise and technicals wise, he'd have done much better.

Also, I don't believe he has another 30k because the way he sold showed that he was in a rush, for whatever reason. I'm sure you agree.


you didnt answer my question really and again are questioning his trading methods.

but you said that he was stupid to sell regardless of what happens next and I am asking to you what happens if price crashes to sub 100?
But I am questioning his execution (methods) primarily. He was unsophisticated on that front. Thus, I infer from his trading inexperience that the most likely reason for his rush was just panic. And of course when you act on emotional signals, you have a good chance of picking a bad time to sell, like he did. If the price goes double digits, it'll still have been bad execution and bad timing at that point in time. Maybe you disagree. Then I agree to disagree. Cheesy

Where can I buy ripple? I think it's shit but a centralized currency might eventually take over.

IMO bitcoin has too many wallets, too many programs for it so the average joe gets confused as to which one to use. It's better if he's just getting told "use this, do that" and everybody use the same thing

When the bitcoin infrastructure matures some clients will float above the rest and that's what average joe will use.

Hopefully..

Do you want to buy with BTC?  

Either way, you will want to start a new account at ripple.com

I use SnapSwap with USD.  You can do an instant deposit within seconds through 13 major banks.

The total number of supported banks is now thirteen. The initial list of supported banks included Wells Fargo, Bank of America, Capital One, Capital One 360, TD Bank, US Bank, PNC, Chase, Citibank.

For Btc, create a wallet in ripple and below is a little tutorial on creating a new bitcoin address inside your ripple wallet to transfer btc to it.

Thanks, i'm not sure if i will buy yet though

What one could do is go sell of all their bitcoin stash for ripple if ripple was to go up to 2.5 billion and bitcoin down to 2.5 bio and it was obvious that ripple was taking over. That way you won't lose any potential profits.

On their homepage I still see only the same option as always (the "top-up card")
https://www.huobi.com/
I see no announcement (usually important news are in the "red bulb" link below the header gif).

If it is true, there may be a rally.

About double and triple bottoms, and generally any patterns and signals in technical analysis:

It makes no sense to anticipate patterns and signals before they actually form. The only point of that is for letting your Hopium (don't smoke that shit, it really is bad for you) run wild and your fantasies roam free. For a double bottom, that would be rising above the highest point in between the two double bottoms. At that point, it'd be confirmed.

Triple bottoms especially are such a rare pattern that you should always bet that the second bottom will be pierced if the price gets near it again.

It does not matter what followed after. And in his case, the price actually rose for months afterwards, and he sold at the bottom in both the short and medium time frames. Had he had a modicum of sense execution wise and technicals wise, he'd have done much better.

Only if you believe we aren't going down even more.

hell, I wont even bother to go and search all your posts about some "poor" bearwhale dumping 30 k @ at the bottom of a downtrend. you repeated it for so many times as if it had some meaning but it turns out you were merely doing your own trading agenda.
No matter how many times you repeat it, it will not get any less stupid to sell 30k BTC at one single exchange in 8 hours at the bottom of a mid term trend. Remember, Bitstamp's price was actually severely (3-5% iirc) below all the other exchanges.

Noone who has traded in his life before acts like that. So yes, I think it was an inexperienced guy who got sick of hodling after all these years and just wanted to GTFO. Guy was a fool, regardless of what happens months after his stupid action.

i say he is much smarter than you, look at the price now
He sold at 300 and below. Even today, price is higher. And like I said before, you guys need to learn to deal with probabilities (post hoc explanations are meaningless).

It is generally bad to sell all your holdings at one place at one time if you are extremely dependent on liquidity. Plus, he obviously hasn't done his homework on the technical picture at the time. If you do not understand these things, then too bad for you.


and you know for sure that he sold everything? what if another 30 k wall shows up at 300? Cheesy

If the bearwhale got in at about 20 USD per BTC I bet he doesn't give a shit.
