You're never too old to think young.
It's time to post rockets.

I'll stick to roller coasters, springboards, pogo sticks, trampolines and bounce-back punching clowns.

I can't even distinguish between fonzie and fonsie anymore.
Probably because they're off their meds.

I like it when they talk to themselves.

You're quite the moron if you think I'm the same person as fonsie, just a confirmation we are dealing with some low IQ individuals who can't read...
Shocked It's happening again.

Derp Derp Now we're only $20 lower than we were 24 hours ago! Bitcoin is going up! Who has the bottle of champagne? Deeeerp

This place cracks me up.

Next one will go up after we had gone down to 480. It will be the 500 rocket.

monkey will buy it.
Today monkey will lose.

Monkey lost, and has been pretty sad.  He thought 572 was a bottom, then he thought 545 was a bottom.  Now he thinks 525 was a bottom, but he senses another downtrend over the next 5 hours.   Even so, he thinks the next 24 hours will end up from here.

On the daily chart he is utterly confused.  On a ranging basis, he infers another 6 days of downtrend (which would probably take us near his support level estimate at 440), but on the basis of oversold conditions, he wants a bottom to form almost immediately, if 545 was not already the bottom.  He doesn't see any support here, on the basis of historical pricing.  Yet he thinks it is too oversold to go lower.

This week is surely demonstrating the limitations of his purely non-crypto education.

lol, he has all right to ignore anyone, I don't think you don't care much about
who is ignoring you or who is reading you.

You just do what you are doing and what you like, it's a public forum and everyone has right to do what they want.

Sorry man, I went to bed shortly after this post. but... Take a look at the mining pool chart, all big miners are pools, that pay out individuals, so they would not be able to buy those coins. The biggest private pool mines less the 20% of the coins. That is the biggest chunk

OTC trades for large amounts of clean/virgin coins would be at an hefty premium I guess. Enough for pool owners to trade their virgin coins for cheaper used coins on an exchange. But it was just a guess.
Any other idea on who and why is dumping is welcome.

Besides the sellers themselves I doubt anyone around here knows exactly why they do it.

Get cheaper coins through panic
Coin mixing through exchanges
Altcoin preminers taking profit
Stolen coins constantly being sold
GABI trying to achieve a low base
T/A whales trying to paint capitulation to start a new bubble
Exchanges selling fees and buying some back cheaper
Attempt at a long squeeze
Whales giving up and taking profits
Wall street trying to fuck over traders
Dump once a month to buy OTC cheaper

Unless you are the dumper, or the exchange operator and can see who is doing what, we will likely never know. The fundamentals haven't changed, so the only thing I know with a strong chance of being true is that they are doing it to profit, not because "bitcoin is dead"


Great post..

things you own end up owning you
the next video is a gift for perma-bulls (I found it in the dark thread), being a bear doesn't mean I hate Bitcoin, I love making profit therefore I love Bitcoin  Grin

Well, depending on whether the feds need to release this info at some point (he should know for sure) it can be a very easy lie opportunity if what you say is correct. I'm not so sure price would have gone up if he announced overbidding. The market seems very disconnected from fundamentals or any sort of related news.

I think the original point was that since there is a possible boon in admitting to paying over market (i think we agree on that), and no possible downside, a rational player would disclose paying above market.  The winning bidder made no such disclosure, so it's reasonable to assume that the price paid was below market.

400 new shorts just opened on Bitfinex...and BITSTAMP fell $5.  Bfx is only down $1.50.  Weird.

Edit: even weirder, there were more LTC swaps opened in the last hour than USD or BTC.

Well which would YOU short?

So how do you think this $1.6M purchase in Bitcoins with Bitpay influenced the market? www.siliconbeat.com/2014/08/12/tech-entrepreneur-pays-1-6-million-in-bitcoins-for-tahoe-parcel/
That is ~2800 BTC.  Not a lot, in terms of market, I would say.  (Because of arbitrage, the effect of a bitcoin sale on the price depends on the combined order books of all exchanges in the world, even if Bitpay only sells at one exchange.)

... but mostly because if he had paid at or above market he would probably have said so, to support the price.  Said another way, one possible explanation for why he and Siebert refused to reveal their bids is that the price they offered would have been "bad news" for the market.
...

Do you understand the concept of lying?

Not sure how lying factors into this.  Explain?

You say he didn't pay above market because if he did he would say so to push up the price. And I'm saying even if he paid less he could just claim he overpaid to achieve the same thing.

Most people prefer not to lie unless they have to.  The downside of being caught in a lie simply outweigh the potential gains.  And, of course, there are a few creeps who don't lie because they feel it's immoral.
