Now, now, be nice to Elwar.
Always nice to the brother.... but we must not agree on everything, I didn’t said something wrong did I?
Just said he maybe bumped his head in the cabins of the crew, it’s a bit lower there etc so might happened, from there he maybe saying ATH in the start of a bull run etc
Btw it’s j/k
But also calling 2 times ATH at the two tops....
We are talking about ideas here, anyhow, not people.
For sure Elwar has always been a bit of his own person, and sometimes quite stubborn - and sure it takes all types to contribute to the space - and without getting too much into his past situations, he has been somewhat consistent about his position in regards to this particular run, including that he both took a decent stance by cashing out a decent amount of BTC in the little over $50k arena, and he said that he had that view for a couple of years - which does seem a bit ridiculous on its face given the already existence of pretty strong currently relevant bitcoin prediction models that even went back for a couple of year, those prediction models are playing out pretty handsomely and there are some actual facts (for anyone trying to actually account for actual facts) that establish that the BTC price prediction models might NOT be bullish enough.
So yeah, if some guys want to project their own little view of our current BTC price dynamics that seem to fly in the face of what seems to be overwhelming trends, then sure they might be acting to be their own unique person, and sure there is some kind of implication that maybe there might have been some sudden change in perspective, too... but sometimes people may have been reading too much into Elwar's purported bullishness about bitcoin because of his pie in the sky stance on seasteads and even the purchase of the cruise ship to attempt to get some kind of bitcoin focused business and community going.
There have all kinds of us who sometimes will express some views that are a bit outside of the way that others are framing matters, and sure sometimes, we do need to keep some of those guys "in-check" in order to put their seeming craziness (or uniqueness) into perspective and maybe show some of the weaknesses in their thinking and even when he (Elwar) made his $50k prediction, and then was seeming to look wrong when BTC prices looked like they were going to be going passed $60k, but then he started to feel a bit of his goat.. when it started to appear that he could be correct.. and sure, a lot of us like to end up being correct even when we provide the "tough love" predictions that we do not even want to become true.
He will be shown to be wrong, soon enough.. but he has already buttressed his prediction in such a way to preserve that he has enough BTC for UP, too, despite a bit of his recent gloating about the downward BTC price movements.
There have been quite a few long timer bitcoiners who have made quite logically sound and overly bearish BTC predictions, and since some of us more bullish BTC predictors have been shown to be too bearish, they have been shown to be even further on the spectrum of wrongness in terms of their reservations about bullish scenarios - or their conservative assertions about where they expect the BTC price to go, blah blah blah.
Totally agree.. it's a shame legendary guys like Elwar calling the top now... what a disgrace
wtf are you talking here? he can call the top whenever he wants. he is not presenting it as a fact, he does not try to convince any noob to sell. it is just his opinion and he is entitled to have one, as you do, too.
shame and disgrace are not the words that should be used here.
there was a popular moderator of the speculation subforum in 2017 that was calling the top at 2500 USD. and there were folks that followed his explanations and sold out.
I don't know 600W... sometimes strong language should be used to attempt to make a point.. but yeah, maybe "shame" and "disgrace" are way too personal, and they are not quite descriptive enough of the criticism... because sure, Elwar, does have a right to call the top, and members should assert their various reasons why they disagree with them, and sometimes members do not really know why they disagree beyond just feelings that the cycle is not over.. which is contrary to what Elwar is incorporating into his assertion that $50k is the top (or could be the top, even though he was gloating a bit about it, too). So, sure we can come out either way in terms of how heavily we want to battle Elwar and even throw in a few pieces of heavy language here and there to make our points.
