Never selling
These drops and increases are too similar, with the market essentially dead the manipulators have the ability to come out and play. They won't have any real effect on the overall direction of the market but are no doubt making a killing with these moves up and down.

Actually the problem is... that we should appreciate more all these even when the price is skyrocketing.
Then it would not be so visible only when sideways.

I am going to devolve even further... Might be a stretch, but if you are not using a VPN, and you are searching BTC addresses, and you search a bunch together, might there not be a presumption that the person who searched those BTC addresses is the owner of the addresses?  Yes, I am maybe overly paranoid.. but there can be some difficulties in knowing how much privacy we might have if we are not covering up some of our traffic.

^This can not be emphasized enough.

I believe it was in this honourable WO thread some time ago when somebody hinted at running Electrum against public servers (especially for i.e. watch-only cold wallets, or other wallets with more than dust in it) to be a huge opsec risk. It made me switch all my electrum wallets to using my tor proxy in the next minute after I thought a moment about it.

De-anonymizing a dynamic ISP IP or a VPN IP is not as difficult as one might expect and if there is a known, nice reward for wielding the wrench, the motivation for wannabe and professional wrench-wielders could be very high at a minimal risk (minimal compared to other kind of "forced wealth transfers" these sort of people might be specialized in).

For me, my next step - motivated especially by some recent encouraging posts here - will be running a full node, my own electrum server and I also want get some hands-on with LN but I have not the needed resources for that kind of setup yet.

This summer will be remembered for a long time.

Ok..... I will bite.

Why?


As a summer of despair before an autumn/winter of joy. A bit like 2013 probably.

Oh?

I cannot really assert that you have decent odds of being wrong - because such a scenario does not necessarily seem to be any kind of stretch - but still  "memorable"?  You have not really said anything that would cause this particular time to play out as particularly memorable, except to historians.  Does anyone give any shits about bitcoin price dynamics in 2013 anymore or remember hardly anything about it except for us more nerdy types who are hanging on every piece of quasi-obscured evidence?

Well, I meant "memorable in a nerdy. WO-like kind of way" of course.

I wonder why I didn't know about this?

How does this news "slip between the cracks"?

Are you guys slacking too or was it posted and I missed it?

Quote
The Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (Goldman Sachs or the Company), a global financial institution headquartered in New York, New York, and Goldman Sachs (Malaysia) Sdn. Bhd. (GS Malaysia), its Malaysian subsidiary, have admitted to conspiring to violate the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) in connection with a scheme to pay over $1 billion in bribes to Malaysian and Abu Dhabi officials to obtain lucrative business for Goldman Sachs, including its role in underwriting approximately $6.5 billion in three bond deals for 1Malaysia Development Bhd. (1MDB), for which the bank earned hundreds of millions in fees.  Goldman Sachs will pay more than $2.9 billion as part of a coordinated resolution with criminal and civil authorities in the United States, the United Kingdom, Singapore, and elsewhere.

I just watched "The Kleptocrats" documentary, otherwise never would have know about this.

Its nice seeing Ballsacks getting their just deserts!

edited documentary name duh.

I have followed this story for quite some time.. and I remember I was in Malaysia when this 1MDB program was on it's peak. There used to be huge billboards all over Malaysia depicting Najib Razak and displaying 1MDB in hug block letters. That time I did not know much about it but later the most interesting and mysterious guy came out of it was "Jho Low". His story itself is fascinating how Hollywood, Malaysian PM and some rich Arabs played in hands of this young guy. Wolf of Wall Street came out of this and he showed how really "Crazy Rich Asians" are.

Do watch this "Jho Low: Hunt for a Fugitive" aired on Al Jazeera English
