Do people still do TA on this forum? Been a while since I've seen any. 
Or did they all go to Tradingview?

That Reagan/AT&T divestiture thing earlier was one of the funniest things I've seen on there.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breakup_of_the_Bell_System
Quote
This divestiture was initiated by the filing in 1974 by the U.S. Department of Justice of an antitrust lawsuit against AT&T.[1] AT&T was, at the time, the sole provider of telephone service throughout most of the United States. Furthermore, most telephonic equipment in United States was produced by its subsidiary, Western Electric. This vertical integration led AT&T to have almost total control over communication technology in the country, which led to the antitrust case, United States v. AT&T. The plaintiff in the court complaint asked the court to order AT&T to divest ownership of Western Electric.[2]
Feeling that it was about to lose the suit, AT&T proposed an alternative - the breakup of the biggest corporation in American history. It proposed that it retain control of Western Electric, Yellow Pages, the Bell trademark, Bell Labs, and AT&T Long Distance. It also proposed that it be freed from a 1956 anti-trust consent decree that barred it from participating in the general sale of computers.[3] In return, it proposed to give up ownership of the local operating companies.

By the way, the word 'anarchy is ancient (Oxford Dictionary: "mid 16th century [ in English ]: via medieval Latin from Greek anarkhia, from anarkhos, from an- 'without' + arkhos 'chief, ruler'). Proudhon may have been the first to use it as the name of an explicit political model.

Not sure why? Maybe bots are doing this, maybe it's because of Ukrainian bitcoin ATM news, maybe Roger Ver's tweets... Maybe something is about to happen.

something unbelievable always happens, and by some chance some guy just happened to have predicted it. I expect holders haven't been significantly challenged yet so I won't be shocked if we see more capitulation, or some CCMF,
Well you can easily see what the previous peaks like this correlated with

I'm liking what that correlates to on the timeline...

but I am at least well-read enough to know what the [ anarchist ] means, and to use it as it was meant to be used. If you want to discuss 'chaotic lack of order', then you should use that phrase, or maybe make up one of your own - but using the term 'anarchy' is just incorrect.
But I just told you that I do not define 'anarchism' as 'chaotic lack of order'. You are kicking the wrong dog. July 08, 2014, 02:10:29 PM

Cryptos and decentralisation look like they will play their part.

You keep using that word 'anarchy', but I don't think you know what it means. Anarchy is not a synonym for chaos... As Pierre-Joseph Proudhon famously said, "Anarchy is order without power." . You should read up on it some time. Really.
No, by anarchy I mean just the absence of a government and its "monopolistic" courts, police, etc. I know that anarchists dream of an orderly and free society without government; but, based on history and human nature, I don't believe such a society would survive long enough to be remembered."Anarchist" is pejorative in most countries, but in Italy Anarchism has a rather positive aura -- intellectually, but not in practice. That's because the Anarchists were much involved in the political movements that led to the expulsion of foreign colonial governors (from Spain, France, and Austria) and the independence and unification of the country. They played the role of the American activists who first spoke and conspired against the rule of Britain, I guess. But, of course, as soon as the country was unified, the Anarchists were thanked and pushed aside, and monarchy was established (with a branch of the French House of Savoy on the throne).
Mussolini and Hitler also indirectly benefited from anarchists who called on people to refuse to take part in the "political game" of "sham democracy", and thus helped weaken the governments that they then took over.
You don't get to redefine terms to fit what you believe. Proudhon invented the term, so he can define it any damn way he wants - even if that means a social order that he desired, but you don't believe can exist.
Unlike Proudhon, I am neither a socialist, nor an anarchist, so I won't try to make his argument for him - but I am at least well-read enough to know what the term means, and to use it as it was meant to be used. If you want to discuss 'chaotic lack of order', then you should use that phrase, or maybe make up one of your own - but using the term 'anarchy' is just incorrect.

Iceland might be a somewhat better example, in that there were no claimants to national kingship, although commercial development was not nearly so advanced as in Ireland. The Althing was basically just a big townhall meeting and festival, and as close as Iceland came to a government for a thousand years (interrupted by a couple of centuries of Danish oppression) until 1944.
