I'm starting to see bears here as a little dogmatic  Grin
Not a bull myself at the moment, but probably not even a bear ...

However, going down became boring.

No dogma; I'm a bear until I'm not anymore. It may be awhile, though -- could take many months, potentially, to bottom out -- so I'm sorry you're bored. Smiley Bull/bear markets can be quite protracted. Have some fun and ride some sucker rallies!  Smiley

Smallish BID filled at 62ish EUR, sold at 63.9x, +1% profit and now no more catching knives till the '$70s.

The bears in here are so bullish that love to see how their dirty fiat can buy more coins for them, day after day.

We may be coming out from the "return to normal"/denial phase to slowly entering fear. I can start to smell it. People believing (or should we say hoping?) the Winkletards S-1 will take BTC to da moon. Over emotionality on reddit and these subforums. Noobs flaming bears. Noobs starting threads about how they bought over $100 and "will hold forever".

Those guys are usually those that panic sell when they see their investment decimated, and that's usually the very bottom. They will hold a little more and they will be deluded by each and every bull trap.

Where do you see any noobs starting threads about how they bought over $100 and will hold forever? Not in the speculation forum. I've bought over $100 and am definitely holding, although I've sold and invested a portion of my holdings as well. I'm not going to start a thread over this and I'm not planning to sell either. What exactly is wrong with this?

Today you can go to http://bitcoinfund.eu/  Account minimum is US$1Mil, though they are reputedly lowering it for Bitcoin only accounts.


I see how I can buy, not how I can short...

Account min was wrong above:
Minimum Account size with EXANTE EUR 100,000.
Minimum Bitcoin Fund transaction size  EUR 10,000

If you want to short, call them up.

Or you can do it the penny-ante way and borrow from coinlenders at a high rate.

Again, I saw that, but I still don't see if they offer any kind of shorting.

You are so easily thwarted?

I learned that by speaking with them at the convention.  
Call them up, not everything is on the website.
They are available 24/7, and have folks around the world to answer your call.

If you invested long term, you are obviously bullish long term, and the speculation subforums are kinda useless for you.

If you are trading, its kinda counterproductive being a bull during an obvious bear market. Trading against the trend hurts your portfolio. Basic math.

On long term i'm bullish -> investments.
Short (VERY short) term i'm bearish -> trading.

Bearish Bull?
Bullish bear ?

EDIT: I miss the "basic math" thing however.
I'm holding some BTCs bought over 100$, that made me 30% profit in terms of additional coins.
So no loss till now on them. What i've done wrong ?

I see altcoins as a whole going up (NOT just LTC, but PPC, TRC, misc scamcoins ...).
Maybe somebody observed how ALL these coins went down as a whole, anticipating the bearish trend for BTC, by about 20 days.
Potential prelude or early signal for BTC trend inversion?

So a negative result on 'crash' so... positive??  Huh

No doubt this is a bullish signal  Grin

Exante, a Malta-based broker will now provide a means to investors to take long or short Bitcoin positions and trade shares using its Automatic Trading Platform (ATP). Thus, becoming the first of its kind, Exante which also became the first to introduce the world’s first Bitcoin-only hedge fund last March is all set to promote the crypto-currency for traders.

So since a week ago, you can now short Bitcoin on their account.  Smiley
Oh boy, that could serve to accelerate the bear market. I remember what happened when Bitcoinica came on stage.

Looking at the other threads, a lot of bulls coming out of the woodwork. All claiming to be buying cheap coins. If I dump in another 10k USD though, I would be getting nervous is my position turned against me...

You _could_ short on BFX, routing to Bitstamp, but Bitstamp market depth is nothing like Gox, so....

Yeah, that's why I mentioned >1k BTC.
You can't really short in any meaningful way.
