Just trying to get my mind off of the price right now.

I think you are right that it is his sense of humor.  I totally take it that way.  But some people just don't have one I guess.   

Explanation

Always such butthurt and drama in this thread. Anyone got a chart? Any price targets? To the moon or to the depths of hell? Risto got his own thread, anyway....

I can agree with the residue without agreeing with the bold.  I think he is trying to be pompous from time to time.  It's part of his sense of humor.  At first he went low-class pompous (think Burberry baseball caps).  Now his tastes have developed, and he's tending high-class pompous (fine cigars and complex wines) which I find more amusing, personally.  Not surprising, perhaps, that some find either equally offensive.

That said, I prefer market analysis to Risto analysis.  It seems likely to be more profitable, albeit more difficult.

You really ought to STFU, you are the worst flip-flopper there is.  Everybody knows it.  So we should follow your divine predictions instead?

I thought Risto was done pumping his bitcoin investment and is now pumping that Monero altcoin? He's been posting about it a lot, and I can understand why... it's fallen over 50% from its high a few weeks ago. Isn't he saying that it's a "hedge" against bitcoin now?  

Risto may be a little looney and crazy from time to time, but you are NOT even in the same league.  You are like in pee wee T-ball league, and he is in the professional league (or close to it).. much differences between the analysis that two of you tend to provide, at least from what I have read.  And, part of the problem is that you are too blinded to see your own various blatant deficiencies.. including your frequently occurring lack of decent communication skills.. and inability to control your emotions and frequently getting both defensive and offensive.

By the way, I am NOT conceding that I agree with the various TAs that Risto posts or his conclusions or what I perceive to be his over reliance on math.. but he tends to do a fairly decent job of justifying and defending his TAs based on math.  Actually, as I am writing through this, I have a problem with so much reliance on math to cause rosey pictures, but that is another issue that is beyond the point that I am wanting to make here about you, mmitech and risto being in different categories of Bitcoin communication skills.

enough of Risto cheering, he have a thread for people to lick his ass, please move there and pray to his mighty if you want.

Nah!

Those EU people need to forget about WWI, WWII, and the iron curtain.

Agreed, and well said.  Risto has absolutely nothing to win by encouraging and causing others to lose money.

Also, it will be interesting to come back to this board in a few years.  I'm sure that 90% of the posters in this sub forum, and on this thread, will be gone.

I can read that in two ways:  Material conditions in the EU have historically tended to reward effort less, vs. EU respondents median strength of character was poorer.  I consider the former to be a sufficient explanation, and the latter to be inflammatory.

Anyone who has ever faced combat will, regardless of their national origin, immediately recognize that resolution and will are crucial to success in adversarial conditions.  One scenario: If your adversary co-opts you successfully, they win.  That is the prevailing scenario in the developed world today.  I have not spent enough time in under-developed regions to comment on the prevailing scenario in those venues.  Generalizing, an excellent way to defeat your enemy is to destroy their will to win.  EU respondents seem to have been defeated more thoroughly than US respondents, in that case.  But such pendula do reverse their swing from time to time.

Of course, it may be argued that choosing combat exhibits weakness of character (or at least, of intellect) much deeper than the strength of character which enables victory in combat.

If and when we have castles of our own how will people react to us? Will they think we are pompous jerks just because of that alone?  I think sometimes just being wealthy, successful, or in a different situation in life is enough to cause envy and see things that are not necessarily there, or can be construed to be that way. 

For example, I live in a pretty wealthy area in California, but would still be considered "middle class."  I find that those that are wealthy are often considered "pompous" just because they have nice houses and cars.  Some even consider my husband and I "rich" and although it seems totally ridiculous to us, think we are "snobby" because of where we live.  Of course we know in our neighborhood we are just average.  But I have learned that we see others through our own lens of our experiences and we need to step back and consider where the other person is coming from.

That said, I don't think Risto is ever really trying to be pompous.  He may have a little fun with the successes he has had and post a comment here and there about it, but I think his heart is one that wants to encourage us not to "throw in the towel" so to speak and hold on or buy more coins and try to see the big picture. He has been in this a bit longer than many of us have and has reaped the rewards that could well be ours too if we just show a little patience and self-control.

My opinion as well. Hit the .786 on Huobi with a little panic, but hit the brakes now. I think we HAD to bounce after that BFX margin call cascade. Such fun!!

I find the susceptibility to ressentiment fairly evenly distributed in this forum. It almost reminds me of a school yard sometimes, with all its childish intrigue.

The rest of what you say sounds a bit too new age-ish for me. "Weakness of character" related to likeliness of long-term success. Really? Might be a different perspective on things across the pond (assuming you're from the US) ... I remember reading a survey in which a significantly higher number of EU respondents felt that the major developments in their life were not under their direct control compared to US respondents.

Do you have a chart that shows these levels? What are your targets? I think this looks like the type of sucker rally before final legs down.

Yap, we are done

well the current "bottom" anyway

When Shroomskit calls a bottom we know for sure the bottom isn't in yet. Sorry buddy but your pain isn't over yet.

You guys think we reached the bottom at 497??
