7 out of 10 dentists approve your spelling, Biodom.


 

Why, yes!  With argument by repetition, you can control the frame of the discussion, and divert everybody’s attention away from all that has actually been said—which you have conveniently ignored.

Oops, not really.  Nice try.

Amusingly enough its actually in paperback!

maybe in your home country it is capisce, but around here my spelling is correct (or at least one out of two-three used variations).

read the complaint re the rest...

Surely, that is part of the justification why bitcoiner should NOT be blanketedly cheering for BIG government to be taking down Bitmex and its various agents, presuming them to be criminals - even though currently, they are being charged as criminals.  There are due process rights in America, even though sometimes those due process rights are NOT fairly applied or allowed, so of course, frequently injustices occur.  

I am NOT proclaiming that the various departments of the US justice system (who are purportedly representing the interest of the US people) are without a variety of justifications, but surely they need to have jurisdiction over the matters that they are alleging and charging, and due process of law should be allowed, including in criminal cases there are presumptions of innocent until being proved guilty.  Therefore evidence needs to be shown in a court of law, and criminal cases surely have intent elements that must be proven in a court of law, too.  

I am more inclined to presume that injustices are taking place on the side of the accused, when I see members posting about the guilt of these various players way before evidence has even been adequately described (and sure in the court of public opinion, we might even be relying upon more flimsy evidence regarding how we might feel about the situation).


For sure, if we are feeling overexposed to bitcoin, maybe we cut back on our allocation a bit.

But, even with various negative news like this, it remains difficult to figure out where to better put your money, and even if there might be some justifications, based on recent news, how to better allocate.

Of course, each person has to decide for themselves the extent to which they might be over-allocated in bitcoin, and also if s/he might become a target of governmental actions and/or overreach based on his/her own situation - whether that is being accused of  some conduct that s/he did not consider to be against the law.. but sometimes safety measures may well need to be taken in regards to where to hold stash and how much of the private keys are kept off line.  I personally find it can be quite difficult to attempt to sell BTC directly, especially if we start to get to very large numbers, in the future, so in that regard, it is likely better to have some arrangements with traditional institutions to be able to have avenues to liquidate portions of your BTC stash from time to time and also reporting on taxes, consulting with attorneys and accountants and things like that could be helpful too.  

If any of us are pulling out anything approaching fuck you status levels, whether that is a million or more or even in the territory of $6million or more, then we may well need to have some of those liquidation relationships because it could be much more difficult to operate peer to peer with those kinds of quantities, and then might we be interacting in circles that might end up causing questions to our own actions, too - even if we personally believe that we are trying to stay above board with every one of our actions.


Yep.. preparing for and conceding to the possibility of apocalypse and Armageddon-like scenarios are seeming way less outlandish than they were feeling pre-2020.

Might have even called you out as a "nutjob" before you even had a chance to finish your sentence - but these days, you are coming off as somewhat reasonable deploying that apocalypse term.

two apocalypses in a row? isnt that against the rules?

Yeah.  That's exactly what I just tried to say, but better.  It actually scares me a little bit.  i feel like we have come to a place (at least in the US, but from here it really looks like lots of places in the world) where we are in some strange sort of peril.

It is interesting that nutildah has never challenged the factuality of my very brief summary of the historical establishment of the original Antifa in 1932.  He can’t, of course; for I am quite correct about an historical fact that he is furious to see even mentioned.  I tossed it in here, not expecting any controversy, just because it is a an interesting fact that most people do not know; I thought that folks might be curious.  Evidently, some people would much prefer for this bit of history to be forgotten.

nutildah doth protest too much, methinks.


Go reread my prior posts and reply to the substance of what I actually said, before you affect an air of overweening superiority over my “rather outrageous claim” that an organization which today overtly uses a Communist name (wtf, “some of today’s Antifa”? all Antifas use the Communist name “Antifa”!), a Communist symbol (their actual logo—not just a few random people making “stickers”), substantively Communist ideology, and Communist tactics, with the same old Communist purpose of political violence to incite riots and cancel free speech, is... Communist.


I won’t be trolled by you that way into writing a book-length post which anyway, by your record, you will either ignore or cherry-pick as convenient.  I am too busy making some stickers, which, according to you, every reasonable person must presume carries no intended implications of political sympathy with a group that, borrowing your exact words, has “technically been defunct” since 1945:


Don’t make any outrageous claims about my stickers, now.  Where is your evidence?

bitcoin protocol says NOTHING about regulation by the American world-police of the Bitcoin activities of entities based outside the U.S., which even ban U.S. persons from using the site (I just checked).

Capisce?  ← Protip:  Try to spell your words of condescension correctly.

I don't know what the right is anymore.  It has splintered into several factions... Neocon hawks that are actually democrats, and conspiracy theorists.  While the left has become the actual thing that they are saying the right is... Just the mirror image. Basically woke fascists.

I seriously think it could be the prelude to the (some sort of?) Apocalypse. Lol.
   

Karartma1, I don't think you need to abandon ship. Let's wait and see how this plays out. It's all good to have total freedom to do whatever we want, but do you remember how Elwar's seastead ended up? We've got to tread carefully, or my statement "we'll end up filthy rich, but unable to enjoy our riches" may come true.

OK. I suck. Saw some movements last night that I was expecting to have a broader, positive impact on the markets today, but my gut seems to have gotten it wrong.

Oh well. Continue to HODL strong, brothers.

You made the rather outrageous claim that today's Antifa were communists and I asked you to back it up with some evidence other than that some of today's Antifa has chosen to make stickers based on the original Antifa logo. So where is your evidence?

I was talking about bitmex, not bitcoin.
bitmex!=bitcoin, not even close
bitcoin protocol says NOTHING about the 100X margin.
Capische (EDIT: also known as "capiche", "capisce", "capeesh" or "capish")?

An exceedingly long rant response was hereby cut, and replaced with the following:

Who appointed the United States and its institutions to supervise Bitcoin?

N.b. that I myself despise financial speculation in principle.  I think that in a perfect world, there would be no significant financial speculation at all.  If I find myself in the unusual position of defending that sort of activity, then that may be a sign that you have stepped into the zone of HANDS OFF MY BITCOIN and AMERICA IS NOT THE GODDAMN WORLD POLICE—AMERICA IS NOT THE BITCOIN POLICE.


That is what margin calls are for.  Fools suffer from their follies.


Suggesting that the U.S. government should or can put “speed limit signs” on Bitcoin!  You, personally, are a part of the problem.  There is already a shitcoin for you:  It is called the United States Dollar.


Also, stop believing urban legends.  Most if not all of the Autobahn has speed limits.  The limits just tend to be... rather high.  Are you perchance American?  I have only ever seen Americans repeat that nonsense.


...oh... oh.  So you think this is because of CME.  Thanks; if (if) you are correct, then I now despise them even more than I already have since that was first announced in 2017.  The Bitcoin futures market should get wrecked, so that it stops messing with the normal Bitcoin market.  If everybody who trades futures and other derivatives were to go bankrupt, it would be better for Bitcoin in the long term.


OK, gotcha.  You’ve a few Horsemen left to go.

If it is not something that can be done safely in an unregulated market, then maybe you shouldn’t be doing it in an unregulated market.  Don’t try to create the clusterfork of the bank-run financial markets in Bitcoin.

Sadly corruption exists everywhere.

In the west it is just not so obvious and sitting straight in front of your eye compared to developing nations and similar.

And this also sometimes directly lead to another problem:

Exploitation of poorer nations and thus worsening corruption there.

(Slave and child labor, destruction of the enviroment and economy, exploitation of natural ressources without the ethnic population taking part of the profits)

A nice article about bitmex from a lawyer:

https://cointelegraph.com/news/indictments-issued-for-bitmex-senior-team-are-a-signal-to-all

With apologies to the OP.  

Thanks for sharing.  I've had similar experiences, and yours match up well with what I have seen and felt.

My grandfather was a professional hypnotist.  He was a dentist and he'd use it to anesthetize patients before performing oral surgery.  And so, he hypnotized me a few times.  The experiences you describe can also be achieved, as you know, through many means, like: self hypnosis, shamanic drumming, reiki, or even just spontaneously, etc.  These all have similar outcomes to allow one to experience those other parts of the mind and self.

This stimulus is medically indicated for the treatment of acute hysteria:



High inflation with potential for hyperinflation, however, is rather like taking a cyanide pill to cure a headache.  I suppose that it does work, in a sense.

Excellent.  So good that it actually made me go to Twitter and peruse the discussion.  Thanks.

The problem in not the 100x itself but rather the opportunity which it creates with a practically anonymous account. I say 'practically' because even if someone is giving his name, his actions are not monitored like on regulated US exchanges.

Take the numerous cases in which CFTC discovered derivate manipulations. What does this mean? Simply speaking this means that one person (or family, or a circle of friends) trades  simultaneously on spot market and derivate market taking advantage of its own action. With regulated exchanges it is easier to find these people and to sue them for their illegal actions. Many of us were suspicious about the CME gaps for example, expecting a dump to fill those gaps at $9600. Well, it happened several times before but not this time, which shows that CFTC is working well with CME.  

On the other hand, it is much easier with a 100x margin to manipulate the marked by selling both on mex and some less liquid spot exchange. There is a risk of a price swing of course, but theoretically such practically anonymous persons or entities could do this endlessly. If there is no monitoring on behalf of mex staff, then everything is allowed. And this is by no means good for the natural growth of Bitcoin. Not to mention that there are numerous suspicions that mex owners are playing against their clients. Of course, they know all their positions and can squeeze them anytime. I can recall for at least 2 articles in coindesk and cointelegraph about it. They also can turn off the server in case something goes wrong like 12 March crash. And finally, I really don't believe that the owners are innocent and not cooperating with money launderers. So, the hodlers should have no tears or remorse for mex.

November soon.. Remember Remember

Looking stable.. Time for some pumpenings..

100x leverage is for a trader who knows exactly where a large candle is about to form in the direction they predict, alot of knowledge and timing is going to occur in that decision or they wont last long.    I dont think its a negative by itself and its not even abnormal because I think options contracts allow similar, mostly its going to make a profit for the house as its gambling for most who dont have those skills and discipline to enter correctly.    We all know BTC regularly just does loop the loop and repeats its pricing, occasionally theres a bigger candle but I dont know when tbh.    Was there any big candle to match the news of President getting covid, if that news isnt showing up in an obvious way I dont know how it could be easily predictable really.

We been going sideways a few months roughly, not sure I get my wish but looking for price action to stop with the lower highs and do something new fairly soon.   Falling 50 day and rising 200 day and we squish between them since September start.
