A little bit of taxidermy would fix that.

@JayJuanGee

did you turn bear?

I remain a buydler and a hodler...    Cool

However, I just get a little bit too worked up, from time to time, when there are posts that seem to be purposefully based on incorrect information - even if the information happens to be bullish.    Angry

In that regard, there is NO credible news or information that Coinbase is making some major or large purchase of BTC in the next 1 or 2 days.  If there is such news, I would like to hear what that is (besides the message that they provided to users on Sunday about being out of BTC).  Huh

The Junta let you believe the price goes in a direction... so the price goes the other way.

Here. Corrected for you.

Watching the order books on BFX today, the spread was pretty awful for hours.  It would have cost you $2.70 from the highest bid (not including exchange fees) to buy 1btc.  About $1.70 spread and another buck to gather 1btc from small bids.

What is the strategy if you are doing 100btc or 500btc trades?  In most cases, you are going to lose $2-10 on slippage.  Just sell a few coins at a time as you get close to your exit?  Or only do large trades on big movement?

If i had so much i will at least try to use an hidden order, but i understand when market move fast one don't want to be left behind.

Two pieces of Coinbase news:
(1) Coinbase is supposed to do an unusually large buy tomorrow or so I saw in a few articles (somebody could clean up that thought);
(2) Coinbase charged people Friday prices last week... hence they have an incentive to do an unusually large buy tomorrow to prop up the price to get more out of the price spread.

Expect $550 to $575 tomorrow... definitely get in on it, but be careful not to overreact when the price spikes (or at least overreact less than everybody else... =D).

These are my thoughts on what will happen next. The Junta says the price goes up... so the price goes up.

HELLO>>> again with this coinbase bullshit.... I believe you know what you are saying is NOT true... and you are still riding it as if there is some there there.  There is NO there there.  So there.  JUST STOP WITH YOUR ANALYSIS BASED ON MISINFORMATION CRAP. Roll Eyes Tongue

I'm really wondering where we're going to be tomorrow morning! I'm always afraid to look on my cellphone each morning in order to see wether BTC survived the night! Ha, often used to be a bad surprise  these past weeks.

Is the US an imperial power run by a corporate/statist oligarchy? Yes. Does this need to be stopped? Yes. Were there many much worse and more evil alternatives in the 20th century that we should be thankful were avoid? Yes. (Pol Pot, Mao, Japanese 1+ million sex camps of teenage girls, Hitler, Stalin, I could go on)

PLEASE don't go on with such, ...    Roll Eyes Tongue Embarrassed Cry

Coinbase is going to buy huge amounts tomorrow

http://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/news/bitcoin-chart-analysis-end-trend/2014/08/19

Segment Coinbase Friday

Wouldn't want to hurt a rally, but the article based on inaccurate info.  Coinbase buys a certain amount EACH day, turns out lots of buyers that tried to purchase on the drop Sunday morning got that error, which I've seen in the past.  Coinbase soon fixed it later that morning. 

That message just means at that time, the broker Coinbase can't guarantee the buy with their exchange Bitstamp.  It does not mean that they held off on purchasing all Bitcoins until Friday the 22nd.

Reference this thread:

YES!!!!   That's more or less what i was trying to say.. but better said...  Wink

That was quite a surprising dip right there! It's incredible how the price recovered instantly. It's the biggest volume bar all day long... No other exchanges really followed. Good, stability!

Segment Coinbase Friday

I didn't see any mention about the quantity.

This supposed news is probably based on the same bullshit texts that people were seeing from Coinbase on Sunday regarding Coinbase making BTC available to them on Friday... It just seems like sloppy and potentially purposefully sloppy journalism (especially, without specifics), and for what reason would Coinbase be buying a large quantity of BTC?  And, why would they disclose that they are doing it before hand?  Makes no sense, and I am calling bullshit regarding that news.

What is that hole in the bids at 20:30? Seems like the bitstamp api didn't return the bids at all at that time...

I'm going full paranoid mode here, just for the fun, and this is what in my opinion happened 40 minutes ago at bitstamp:
Quote
- api call for the book returned empty bids
- liquidity watching bots triggered market sells
