Bear markets are a thriving ground for newly hatched manipulators, who think that they can outsmart  the market. There are at least 2 of them currently - one in Bitfinex and one in Binance. I've watched a flashing 2K BTC wall in Binance the whole day yesterday. I guess this night's drop is related to that guy.

Peeps tend to believe that playing with big money can bring bigger profit. In reality, these are low IQ n00bs who, just like the seekers of buried treasures, go around the block asking for money from criminals with promises of a double return. Then they use this  to take a 100x loan from some exchange and place some random 100x long. In 99% of the cases they fail completely, which means they will soon lose a leg, hand or even their life. In the remaining 1% they get several hundred bucks for themselves, write a proud TA on tradingview.com until the next time when they get burned.

Meanwhile, the accumulation is accelerating and despite the lack of influence on the price, it is very important even for mid-term. This short-long play can't be played indefinitely as the n00bs think. One day some exchange or all of them won't follow the sell and - Bang! The manipulator has shot himself in the foot! Then he won't be able to buy again at his selling point and if he tries to return higher, a second blow to his short will follow, which will leave him out of the game forever. We just need patience and doing our DCA stuff. The reward will be worth the wait!

Explanation

Obviously market is really boring at the moment, it is only a paradise for the scalper. Anyway, I see high manipulation with strong accumulation in this price range, so, before a new rise, maybe we should expect a lot of time,

I think at least the new year, it is too early at the moment.

Hope to not see a price under the 25k-27k range.

Quick dip below $30K as quick as we hopped above $31K.  It seems like there are some people with differences of opinion about which way this market is headed.  I think in the short term we appear to be oversold a little bit as there was some heavy selling to break through $30K.  It seems like the trips above $30K are shorter and shorter though.  This is the most clueless I've been about where the price of Bitcoin is headed, but I'm enjoying watching the market and trying to soak up all the I can.

Glad tidings, I would say 👍

He was the money dude. Literally made so many people rich.

Another bitmex style bart. So expected, that only 29M longs were liquidated. This is compared to the other day 1% drop and 200mil longs liquidated only in bitfinex. Are bears in a dead end? Scraping naked shorts with next to 0 profit? Selling to their own bids to simulate a crash? May be next time they will fall into a bear trap? This should easily bring back 40K in play.

Bitcoin has experienced choppy price action following nine consecutive red weekly candles. And the last few days, the price has consolidated between the $28,000 and $31,000-$32,000 range which ended the nine red candles with the appearance of a green candle for the 10th week. But in the 11th week we now see the red candle again. And this is an annual low recorded in May 2021.

With this is it possible BTC could drop below $24,000 before a possible relief rally.

I’m scared.

Explanation

Actually, a cypherpunk mixing British and American spelling is most probably NOT doing it by accident.

Take me, for example.  I have been mixing British and American spelling in this account, which I originally created as an anonymous throwaway.  I was doing it before this discussion was raised—check my post history.  If I so wished, I could show you something I have previously written elsewhere, under a different pseudonym, frankly stating that I switch my spelling at will.

Sometimes, I do it as the sort of subtle, self-referential meta-joke that few will catch; e.g., from before your post:


That was fully intentional, I assure you.  I must amuse myself somehow.

I have been doing this for decades.  It is a well-developed habit.  I consciously switch between spelling variations, applying one or the other consistently for a particular pseudonym—or I consciously mix them, when I so desire.  And this goes far beyond mere spelling.  I am conscious of regional differences in vocabulary (“trunk” vs. “boot”), idioms, and, as applicable, punctuation.  Occasionally, I slip in the type of catachresis that would be expected of a non-native English speaker—say, using “auto” for “automobile” in a context where a native English speaker would not; a German may make that mistake.  When I so choose, I can also mimic the writing style and markup formatting of well-known persons; perhaps I may do that to troll the types of small souls who would be excited by a quixotic hunt for my “main account” (which one?).

I could be British, American, Continental European, Asian—or most anything else.

Satoshi was an old-school cypherpunk.  He used a pseudonym, he used Tor, and he otherwise spent considerable effort to conceal his identity.  He exhibited a keen awareness of privacy issues.  He was highly intelligent.

Do you suppose that he couldn’t do what I do?

---

In analysing such matters, most people make the fallacy presuming average abilities.  It is unsurprising, for the obvious reason.

The average person lacks the language skills to perform such a feat consistently—let alone to do it easily, as a matter of habit.

Do you suppose that Satoshi was of average intelligence?

Persons of rare, extraordinary intelligence exist in many societies.  They are statistical outliers.  They cannot be analyzed by comparison to their neighbours.

If you start with the premise that Satoshi was a genius, then it follows in reason that he could be British, American, Continental European, Asian—or most anything else.

It was a joke Sheldon.

Poor poor lunatic Risto.

Going long now. That last one kinda looks like a bart to me.
