What's that supposed to mean?  Stay away, why?

Bad robot santa, bad!

Huge volume support at that level, it's almost like summer vacation is over and it's time to get back on the train..

Only happening at the one exchange though, very sketchy

I did NOT mean to call you anything, and I am merely describing your tone and the content of your message as whining.  I did NOT mean to call you a whiner yet, but I will call you a whiner if you continue with a whiner tone.  At this point, it is to soon to determine if you are just whining or if you are a whiner.

My saying that you are acting like a whiner does NOT mean that I am butt hurt.  Why would I be butt hurt?  My portfolio is in the red, but I continue to buy more BTC. I do NOT see a problem with that or any reason to be butt hurt over it.

I am glad that you are saying that you take 1000% responsibility over your investment decisions, even though I got the impression that you were trying to blame someone else for whether your portfolio was in the red or the black.

Regarding my talking points, I was likely addressing different posts, so no worry about getting the feeling that I am focusing on your post, merely b/c your post left a lot of fodder for discussion.  Certainly, there may be some repetition in the posts that I made.  I don't deny that.

I am also glad that you are saying that you are NOT investing more than you can afford to lose b/c if you are comfortable with your investment, then it is likely that you will NOT become as stressed out if the investment is NOT performing up to expectations which can happen from time to time... especially with this thing called bitcoin (however, I do believe 99% of the alt currencies are more risky than bitcoin - especially in the longer run).

If you think that I am being a dick, then that is up to your own consideration. I actually think that I am being nice to you by attempting to give you the benefit of the doubt in various ways.  Surely I could present my ideas in a nicer way, but I am NOT purposefully attempting to put you down, merely b/c I referred to your tone as whiney.









I am of the belief that it would be erroneous to attempt to summarize the sentiment of BTC hodlers b/c there is going to be a considerable amount of variation in what they want and what they are willing to tolerate before they begin to panic.  It is true that some hodlers want the price to go down and some hodlers that downplay the importance of downward price movements, but each of us hodlers have different ways of expressing these kinds of concerns that cannot easily be summarized, at least in the way that you are attempting to accomplish such.  Maybe your tone comes off as whiney, b/c you seem to be judging others, and using language that appears to judge and/or denigrate others, and that kind of language is NOT really needed to make your points.  Yes, there can be frustration when the price moves in the opposite direction as what had been expected, and some BTC hodlers buy more and some just continue to hodl and some sell and attempt to buy in again at a lower price, as you mentioned. There seems to be little to NO need to second guess someone b/c s/he chose to hodl rather than to sell and to buy back in.. b/c sometimes people have been burned by those kinds of sell and buy back in strategies in the past and they do NOT want to take those chances.








Well hodling and buying more as the price lowers (if it lowers) may be the best overall strategy when the BTC price seems to be below the trendline, but each of us will decide for himself what s/he wants to do.  I am glad that you seem inclined to hodl.... however, it sounds as if you have reservations about that decision.  In that regard, we have to be careful NOT to be overly harsh on ourselves after the market has moved b/c we cannot really be sure which direction the market is going to move.  I suppose that is why we watch this thread b/c we are trying to figure out various techniques to better predict the price direction of the market.. and even with various TA techniques and news watching techniques and manipulator watching techniques, a large majority of us still seem to have difficulties predicting the BTC price direction on a short-term basis.  I am continuously making prediction on the short term, and my batting average is probably NOT very great... but I just hope in the long term that something in the ballpark of the trendline plays out.. It need not be exact as long as it is in the ballpark of expectations... .. but at the same time, I am willing to lose it all b/c I have NOT put all of my eggs in this one basket (even though I am continuing to increase to increase the proportion of my total investment portfolio in the BTC direction).

Fucking bots at BTC-E, the hell is going on?  more volume in the past few hours than during the flash crash lmao

Ho, ho, ho! It's time to get jolly on your naughty asses!

Lmfao , made my day

Cool!

btc-e trollbox

__________: I calculated they made $68,400 in fees last 2 hours for all coins

Sorry, my thought is just that there is absolutely no explanation for this, but some newcomer will be spastic and try to make a move now, probably the single worst time to make a move is in the middle of an event, and manage to lose money.

People who've lasted a few rounds realize this sort of bulls--- happens once every week.

Dear Robot Santa,

Do not turn off, now that you are moving up instead of down, until you reach $1,000,000... preferably that time will come tonight. I promise to be a good boy for the rest of the year and leave you cookies and milk

=D

Joke.

You are taking all of the fun out of it. 

I'm not sure if the exchange is malfunctioning. If you figured out the algorithm a trade-bot uses and it has a weakness you can basically farm it dry

[edit] just to clarify this
You basically induce buying/selling of the bot while trying not to move the price too much or else the trade rules that particular bot uses might change. At least that is how I would go about it if I found a repeatable pattern that a bot follows which is profitable.

Looks like selling pressure is easing off, buy the coin eater has not yet had his fill.

Fun stuff

This s--- is rigged, the inherent strangeness (not just simple volatility) scares of newcomers... how hard would it be to just stop all of the bulls---. The flash crashes, the super dumpers, the malfunctioning exchanges, the sites not having a supply of Bitcoins to sell, etc., etc., etc.

Like let's just cut it out for a while. Thanks.

Woah, never saw btc-e volume like this.  It's insane! 

So, is anybone still bored?  

Everything is bouncing

on btc-e it kind of looks like someone is manipulating a bot into selling?
