JJG - Perhaps that is what Billy is doing. I saw it as him being open with his position for the most part, I don't see how he's acting like a big shot...but we're all just shouting shit at a wall ..how come we're so out to get him cause he was right? It may have been total luck with the Chinese FUD bomb..but still he was right? Again I hope you and others wouldn't swap positions solely because he was right in this time frame.
I don't have any resentment regarding him being right and/or lucky and/or skillful in his trading. I do have some resentfullness regarding his calling people names and implying that he is superior.. which he obviously does and he has been engaging in these kinds of my shit doesn't stink posts for a long time.
He has already admitted several times that he uses this thread as a means to attempt persuade others to buy or sell BTC in line with his position, and I find that irritating.
He is NOT being honest and genuine with his information b/c frequently he is trying to get people to sell (when it may well NOT be in their interest to sell)...
surely, he is correct that if all BTC investors who follow this thread were able to pool together their buy and sell strategies, then we would have a major effect on the price of bitcoin and the movement of the market - but you know as well as me, that we are NOT going to get much if any cooperation in a public thread regarding when to buy and when to sell, and in the end, any coordinated effort is NOT going to work - especially in a public thread.
In the end, I find his tactics very irritating - even though a large number of posters and readers of this thread do see through his various bullshit and bragging and attempts at gaining credibility.. by describing how smart he is (supposedly).
