Self-Custody is a right. Say no to"Non-custodial"
Glad to see you putting your TA cap on  Grin

Yes... squiggly lines.. take them with a decently-sized grain of salt.

While the shorter time-frames remain bearish, the mid-term (Daily) remains relatively neutral and longer-term (Weekly) remains fully bullish above all it's MAs.

Given the amount of fear and uncertainty in the market based on the shorter-term price action, I wouldn't be surprised to see price wick down to re-test $50K, similar how to $40K was re-tested.

And would you be surprised to see a price wick up to $80k to take advantage of the scaredy cats?  

Not really no, anything can happen in a bull market.


Not anything.  Some things are more likely than other things, including by definition, UPpity is more likely during a bull market.


I'm just not going to speculate too hard on such theories without much basis for it, especially when price is under a relevant distribution level for the time being. If price were to quickly spike above $61K, for sure I'd consider that possibility with a much higher probability. Volatility is at relative lows, so there is a good chance of a big move in either direction, but that direction in the short-term favours the bears, even if in the long-term it'd likely favour the bulls. If the volatility began to favour the bulls, then sure I'd give more validity to that probability.

Fair enough.  Everyone is entitled to an assessment... especially if s/he is capable of making an assessment.

People didn't like my analysis around $64K when I felt a correction (or at minimum sideways trading) was due either, and therefore remained relatively neutral, but hopefully it avoided some FOMO in order to BTFD instead of chasing the rally that was due a correction, even if minor.

Huh?  I wonder why these people did not like your analysis.

Are these "people" in the room with us now?

 Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy


Neither did others when price corrected to $45K and many misinterpreted the "golden cross" (that wasn't very golden) before price reached $40K.

Kind of hard to argue with you if you have such a great track record of being right.

I suppose subscribing to your newsletter might be coming, next?
 
Many did like my analysis that $40K would hold back then, even if you were highly sceptical, as well others understandably.

I am having a hard time following.  Sure, I stated whatever at the time.. so is it currently relevant to anything beyond just trying to proclaim some kind of a track record of being right?
 
As long as my analysis isn't popular, I know it's got value.

That's a weird way of assessing the extent to which something that you are asserting has value.. sounds like you might be shooting for "shit-stirring" value, and surely I am not a large fan of valuing something merely based on its ability to stir shit.
 
What worries me more than anything is everyone agreeing that my analysis is useful or accurate, then I know that it's likely wrong. There's a good reason after all that I share it  Wink

Hopefully you are sharing for your own reasons rather than being concerned about whether people agree or not.
 
Has anyone ever told you that patience is a virtue?

Hm?  First time that I ever heard that expression.. Is that something that you thought about on your own or are you getting it from somewhere?
 
The inpatient usually get REKT. There's nothing wrong with a healthy price correction in a bull market, rest assured.

I don't know where you are getting your baloney that I am impatient... seems like you are just reading something into a situation merely to have some kind of a nonsense talking point.. like throwing shit at a wall and hoping that something might stick..
 
Does not seem convincing to me either way in terms of whether there might be a price wick DOWNity or UPpity....

Precisely, you nailed it. It's really not that difficult to identify the indecision in the market right now, from bull traps to bear traps to sideways trading. Classic consolidation below resistance. This is because there is a conflict with short-term bearish pressure and longer-term bullish pressure. This often means down before up, but you can never be sure in these cases.

We agree that you can never be sure, but you did seems to be emphasizing the down part, and I seem to be emphasizing the UP part.. because last time I checked we were in a bull market.. even though I know peeps come to differing conclusions about whether we are in a bull market or not and then also differing conclusions regarding if whatever correction that we happen to be in is over or not.
 
especially that we have largely been bouncing between about $53k and $61k for slightly more than 2 weeks (while in a bullmarket)..

Again, good analysis here. However the structure of how this is happening is worth paying attention to. This isn't within a parallel channel of consolidation or otherwise a bullish pattern, it's been with lower highs and lower lows, so definitely a time to remain cautious.

If you are not trading then not sure what to be cautious about... for example, if you are DCA buying on a regular basis, I doubt that you have to change much of anything that you are doing...unless you happen to be changing something that you are doing for other reasons.
 
The lower highs confirms weakness in the price each time it bounces, as do the lower lows. Ie when price goes less and less high each time, it confirms weakness.

Yes.. it is weak until it is not.  Last time I checked we had an ATH that was less than a month ago.. wasn't that on November 10 that we reached $69k... seems like it.
 
When price is going down, it's confirming selling pressure. If people would prefer to simply DCA into this dip using a time-based strategy using a blindfold, then for sure I've got no arguments with that idea.

Good DCA remains amongst the best of strategies, and surely that strategy can be supplemented with lump sum investing and buying on dips.. at least until feeling that they have bought enough BTC... so surely each person is going to have differing assessments regarding how much BTC is enough.
 
sure with a overall trending DOWNity in the short term, but since when did our lil fiend, aka king daddy care about that kind of technical mumbo-jumbo shit that might last for 2 weeks-ish or perhaps still only about 3 weeks when we are talking about the last ATH?

Bare in mind, king daddy doesn't invest in Bitcoin. King Daddy IS Bitcoin.

Great.  We are on the same page there.
 
However, investors of Bitcoin are usually interested if there is 2-3 weeks or downside, or even 2-3 weeks of sideways trading.

Maybe they are, and maybe they are not.
 
Human beings are naturally curious beings that like to learn, explore new ideas, theorise on the possibilities of life itself. Bitcoin is a nothing more than a computerized blockchain, it doesn't care.

I am not sure if you are saying anything that has any meaning, helpfulness or relevance.
 
I don’t know why, there is no TA …

But somewhere in my lower half of my carrying weight I got this feeling which says

Weekendpump on its way….

Only men got this lower hanging weight on one side…

What a riddle, but surely could not have lower odds of coming true than the mumbo jumbo that dragonvslinux just propagated upon us....

 Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy

Let's wait and see. At least at think my analysis is more accurate than idea of of 0s and 1s having feelings  Grin

I would not have so much confidence in that, smartie pants.   Tongue Tongue
 
That's something that I think will never truely come to light. Even with AI development etc, I think you forget that Bitcoin is immutable, so even the development of robotics that "theoretically" could artificially generate emotions, doing this with Bitcoin would be near impossible.

Again, does this have meaning?  Is it helpful?  Is it relevant?
 
Remember BCH? That hard fork didn't work either. I doubt a hard fork where Bitcoin starts caring would be successful either!

You would go there?

You seem to be grasping for straws dragonvslinux with whatever point that you are wanting to make, if any.

But I do like the theory of Bitcoin caring and therefore having feelings, it's always interesting to explore different concepts, even if it's only to confirm their irrelevance.

Now, you are devolving into a patronizing disposition.. which is hardly becoming of a gentleman soothsayer wannabe.

Here we go BTC. We should break $53K. $50K would be great. After that, we could come back stronger 💪.

Great for whom? I don't think it's "great" for any long time hodler whose bags are full...  Cool

I am reading attestations of losing 60 lb and keeping it off with a bit of bemusement.
Maybe, when you are 30 (or earlier than 40).

At a certain age (35-40, typically), body weight is stabilized and it is VERY difficult to permanently lose weight.
In fact, any loss of 5-10% of the weight is considered by the body that you are 'starving' or 'dying', so it is throwing the "book" at you by adjusting hormonal systems in a way that keeping the lost weight becomes more and more difficult.

Of course, if someone starts eating pasta twice a day every day, they would gain a lot of weight in a short duration and then simply reversing that should be possible.

Btw, humans and other animals DO lose about 10% of the weight before death (for humans, in the last year or two).

I am older than all the decades you listed in there.  I used to weigh 220 pounds.  Today I imagine I am in the mid 160s.

I did not starve my body at all.  I ate shitloads.  I modulated my hormones... very different approach.

google ketogenic diet and lose weight at any age.
fuck carbs, you can live off fat and proteins, with little natural carbs (vegetables and rarely fruit).
Fat doesn't even stress the liver, opposed to cheap carbs (flour, sugars) which do not only feed bad gut bacteria as well as mess up your insulin level (pancreas).

And cold water plunges, of course. They break up and burn reserves, no need to strain your joints by running miles within a certain heart rate range.


... cold water plunges seem interesting but just seems too uncomfortable to get to the other side, maybe when I achieve life hacker guru status I can get there

... all these discussions on diet and weigbt are largely correct, highly refined carbs, sugars and seed oils can fuck your body up when consumed in consistently large quantities as a base for the diet but are not poisonous in minute amounts

... but it comes down to the holy trinity when engaged in discussions of health and it needs to be approached holistically, Diet, Exercise, Sleep are all the essential components

.... yes gut bacteria are important and getting them in balance is difficult in the modern world, fresh foods are the best, fruit veges nuts roots shoots and shrooms, in moderation natural carbs from veges are ok, whole grains, potatoes, yams, sweet potatoes, corn on the cob

... exercising .... try the 4 S formula, each day work on only one Strength Stretch Stamina Sustenance, repeat in rotation, maybe skip one to get 2 rotations in a week, e.g. end with Sustenance Sundays to fit western norms
Eg. Strength - lift heavy stuff, weights, push-ups, stack wood, hard enough to be grunting and enough to sweat
Stretch - yoga, tai chi, roll around naked in the sun and stretch, hang from tree branches
Stamina - walk a good distance until you sweat and get breathless, jog interspersed with wind sprints, rowing, swimming, i.e. cardio
Sustenance - rest and be mindful of a good nutritious replenishment in the cycle, take care of your appearance, feel sexy, meditate pray, soak in all the goodness the universe has to offer, reconnect with universal collective consciousness after focussing on yourself ....

.... losing weight will come naturally if that's what your body needs, maybe you'll gain muscle mass instead, body fat can be shed permanently and safely "safe and effective" at rates of about 1% per month

I was thinking the other day an iPhone 13 is maybe a bit pricey.
 Cheesy Cheesy

iPhone 14 - 0.01 BTC
iPhone 15 - 0.005 BTC
iPhone 16 - 0.002 BTC
iPhone 17 - 0.001 BTC
iPhone 18 - 0.0005 BTC

Counting until it reaches 100 Satoshi.

BTW, My question is, where is the iPhone 1,2,3, and iPhone 9? 🕵️‍♀️😐
And why iPhone X instead of 10? 🐸

He means below 100$ surely ?

Doesn't make sense though. 10K$ might happen if some major event causes it, like a big whale getting arrested and the authorities getting the coins, something like that.

100$, that would be another kind of major : a successful attack on BTC, killing it. Buying at that price wouldn't make sense then, as it would be worthless, in fact you wouldn't even know if you were really getting the coins you would be buying.

You still won’t buy at $10,000 if we got there (unlikely).
You’d be hoping for $2,500, I’ve seen your type many times over the years. Have fun staying poor!

Don't feed the troll. $10k is absolutely impossible. Michael Saylor, El Salvador & other big guys would buy the entire supply at that price.  Cool

Hello guys. I have not much time for the forum these days, trying to get a promo at work, so that I get more fiat to buy coins. And also the satisfaction to climb a "level", becoming "management" (with nobody to manage, which is the best kind).

Some time ago we talked about stablecoins to trade BTC against, and I came out thinking I should go with USDC, not USDT, I wanted to see if the sentiment is still the same, here.

I want to stop trading fiat<=>BTC because legally I should declare every trade with an uber complex formula that includes the total of my crypto assets. Something I don't do, and don't plan to do, so I want to just stop doing these trades, that way after a few years without being found out, I would be "in the clear". Since I've been in crypto I put more money in that I got out so in a way there is no fiat profit, so I don't feel I should have paid taxes either, the day I'm BTC rich (well, the day BTCUSD is high enough) and live off them I won't mind paying taxes on my withdrawals (might be in a low tax place, but I would only go somewhere I would enjoy). Meanwhile I pay all my taxes on fiat income.

My trades are basic, I sell some coin every 1000$ up, and buy back 3000$ lower, using all the fiat from the sale (profit is all in BTC). It's not making me rich but I accumulate some dust that way, and it's enough to keep me from doing stupid things (like selling big amounts at low prices...). The coins I'm selling were all bought for that purpose from fiat, not part of my stash.

I notice that USDC has less volume and liquidity than USDT, I'm not sure it matters for what I do. USDC being safer seems more important. I will follow USDT prices on my phone and see if my USDC trades are executed when USDT crosses a 1000$ line.

I might change my main exchange since I won't be needing the very good instant Euro deposit anymore, nor fiat at all. Which one is a big one, safe, and with the lowest fees ?

I also have wired and converted enough fiat for my expected 2022 DCA, I will need to figure out a way to buy USDC (or other crypto that would be converted to USDC, or BTC) on the DL, without using my bank accounts, for subsequent years.

TLDR : USDC over USDT, yay or nay ?

What works for you might not work for someone else.
I will leave you with these two references:

https://www.salon.com/2020/12/13/thinsplaining-is-real-science-says-permanent-weight-loss-is-rare-and-thin-people-dont-get-it/
https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/media-spotlight/201811/is-permanent-weight-loss-myth

Personally, i don't really care too much about the weight as long as it is stable.
About 10 years ago, i made a major effort, lost 20 lb (wasn't even much overweight, just wanted to get back to my late 20ies weight), but started to feel terrible...that feeling of 'enjoying' yourself was temporarily gone.
Now, I don't care much, just limit the amounts of food and increased veggies.
As long as you are not obese (BMI <29-30) and stable (not gaining), I don't think any extra effort is really needed.

If you get skinny, obese or anything between is relying on your gut bacteria.
How comes? Poop transplants! It was used for combating inflamed colon lining seen in some autoimmune diseases. The receivers either gained weight or not, some even lost weight, until they reproduced the effect in an experiment with lab mice. Even more so, the experiment was repeated with depressive (yes) and normal mice, and by switching poop and gut bacteria, the mice switched behaviour as well. I read about this in "psychology today", too.

What is changing your gut bacteria?
1. Food
2. Antibiotics

That's why obese parents mostly have obese children, because the mothers breastfeed their gut bacteria to their babies. The breast milk will be replaced by the food the bacteria was (over)growing from in the parent(s). These research results are from the last 10-20 years or so, some are already scientifically proven.

Short story: There are indeed things that work for all, because the basics are identical.

The human body is complex. Most of it's "components" are interdependent. Even psychic stress is changing gut bacteria, and vice versa. Research is still at the beginning, though.

If you started feeling terrible on a diet, you kept your body from things it needed.
I too crave for carbs sometimes, but i feel the full negative impacts on body and mind afterwards.
Don't forget, mankind is growing grain for about 5000 years, while it takes the body to adapt about twice as long to effectively digest it. Also, the majority of intake are short chained carbs nowadays. I don't know how many pounds of bread a liter of coke represents, but it's a lot. If the body doesn't use/burn it immediately, the liver transforms it into body fat. As a beginners tip, also many fitness trainers suggest: Eat carbs only at times you need the energy, proteins before and/or after and fat in small, regular doses, two times a day.
I do mainly fat for breakfast, proteins around noon and carbs in the afternoon. In the evening it's either fat, (complex) proteins or both, but most of the time the fatty breakfast keeps me empowered throughout the day. It's not much, overall. I sometimes wonder how my body gets so much out of so little.
Bromelaine 500mg keeps my colon happy and fructose-tolerant, as long as i don't overdo sugars.

A try won't hurt. Change little at a time, but try to stay with it. If you start to feel bad, go back, change something else. The way forward is never straight.
