I cannot and will not accept a definition that's internally inconsistent. Even if all others in the world do accept it. You're right this may impede communication.

I think at this stage, you need to explain how it is inconsistent and what your definition of "criminal" is.

That being said, I don't have any moral issues with SR and may very well start dealing there one day. Just don't know what to deal.

lol imagine drug lords standing around waiting 40 minutes for 6 confirmations before finishing their exchanges.

Haha, fantastic image. Guns held, gangsta-style in one hand, smartphone in the other...

I'm not talking of Mr Manip who hit twice on Sunday but Silk road retailers, asic companies and other stores who used to liquidate on Friday but now i notice an anticipation from some to Thursday. With those walls currently in place,and if they do stay, maybe the price may hold above 105.

CPI released in 5 days. Not likely to have an effect though probably.

I like reading this Sir-Bits-A-Lots comments, but don't let the name fool you. https://twitter.com/SirBitsALot

As stated above, I noted rising price on decreasing volume then was going through his twitter feed and it was one straw on my back too many...

I beg to differ, even now, it is interesting to see what people think... and the ramifications of the responses, and our knowledge of that affects valuation and actions of each of us!

I think it provides a window on what people think, and thus their view will affect what will actually happen.

And if people believe it will/may go below, say $50, then that means, that most of us who ONLY HAVE BTC, must sell at some point ABOVE $50... thus starting the ball rolling/falling towards that "low" from where it will make a HUGE BOUNCE back to somewhere...

Anyhow, I think it is interesting, and thus fun, thus NOT "pointless"! Smiley

Yes it would be fun if people were answering these polls under an oath, otherwise it will be a mix of wishful thinking, manipulation and bullshit.

In other news: guys, time to sell. Really.

Well, I'd be lying if I said your banting of selling didn't effect me.  Wink
But I also saw what you were saying and it bothered me. It bothered me since the sideways low volume.
The final straw was the 3 day move up on increasingly lower volume. That is a big warning sign to me, though not an end all.

I am partially in Fiat now. It was tough to "cash in" that paper wallet, but was a release as the chart really does scream "We might go down hard if good news doesn't it and someone decides to sell, like our weekend guy."

What is super interesting is the way sellers are not forcing their sales for the most part. You see small walls as the price goes up. But they don't seem manipulative (they get bought into).
I guess large holders are smart enough to not set the BTC down.

Now, if something happens and BTC volume starts, we have to consider buying as the down move isn't guaranteed. Just today the Nikkei is down again 6% or so! Man, is that 25% in 4 weeks or so?

And once again I disagree  Cheesy
Why?

You say I should take their definition because I don't have power over them. That's nonsense.
It makes it very difficult to communicate with someone if their definitions differentiates from the majority. It doesn't have to do with surrendering anything.

I cannot and will not accept a definition that's internally inconsistent. Even if all others in the world do accept it. You're right this may impede communication.

If it's a soundbyte you have to use the common definition, but if you have more time I'd say it's definitely worth it to alert people to the doublespeak in their definitions. People will eventually catch on that every key word needs to be investigated and used carefully.

This is true in every field, even investing and Bitcoin generally.

Until people learn to think about what a word is trying to convey rather than what a word "really means," they'll never have any chance of thinking clearly. Ayn Rand was wrong: the most important question we can ask about something (X) isn't, "What is X?" But rather, "What are we trying to get at by saying 'X'?" Instead of treating words as communication tools, people tend to fetishize them, getting stuck on the "actual meaning" of a word as if such a thing existed.

Governments take advantage of this tendency in order to conflate "criminals" (those who break legislated law) with bad people, "crimes" (breaking their laws) with breaking the very rules that allow society to function, their legislated "law" with natural customary law (http://mises.org/journals/scholar/hasnas.pdf). This semantic obfuscation is as insidious as it is powerful and should be confronted whenever possible, in all fields.

What? Has it reached $300k/mBTC already?

Almost - anyhow, I'm just trolling. You guys know i'm a long term perma-bull Wink

Is there anyone who is not?
Those who held 100% fiat and waited for the price to drop to $2 one more time, back in 2011. Ooops  Wink

Interesting difference with 2011, trading levels remained at new highs (ish) all the way down ( line = price, points = volume):




But this time, fewer and fewer people are interested post-peak of the  bubble, perhaps because most folk know what's coming and don't support the price :

I suppose they had their entry points at which they decided the bear market is over, just like me. I think we will drop to 30's but if we get through certain point above current price I will enter.

So whats your panic buy threshold?

BTW: How can laissez-faire ("let it be", "let it go") be diluted? These are two very common french words and merely translating them leads to the correct definition: no government involvement in the market! No exceptions.
It's weird, I had a discussion recently where I used that word, and the other party assumed I was talking about a "less" regulated market, but still regulated. It's kind of like the diluted version of capitalism is starting to spread. I still use laissez-faire though, and like you, point it out if people got it wrong.
