It is difficult to know for sure.

When I looked into bitcoin in November 2013, I had heard about bitcoin earlier, and I even had it book marked as "something to look into", but I am not sure how much I would have been willing to put into it when it was more difficult to do.  There was certainly some kind of legitimacy that came to bitcoin with the market increase in late 2013.. and subsequent market increases (such as 2015-2017) gave further validation to bitcoin.

On the other hand, there surely is some truth to, if I knew then what I know now, then I would have acted differently.

I have told the story previously that in about September through November 2013, I had been spending some time reallocating some of my investments, and by the time I had looked into bitcoin in late November 2013, I had already taken some considerable efforts towards reallocating some capital into various traditional markets that were really not very different from my already existing investments.  In late 2014, I did move those funds into bitcoin... the funds that I had invested in late 2013, and so in the end, it probably all worked out.. because those funds ended up spending a year (long term capital gains thinking) in other investments before getting repurposed towards bitcoin (and BTC prices were somewhat lower (or at least they were not really higher) in late 2014, when they ended up going into bitcoin, anyhow).**

Maybe some of the gist of my story, anyhow, is that it all seems to kind of work out in the end, especially if guys (and gal) exercise some kind of prudence and a longer kind of time horizon.  Yeah, sure, I could have bought some bitcoin cheaper, but my level of readiness is kind of a product of a lot of facts, and gosh there was so many other things going on in my life in 2011, 2012 and early 2013 that I just did not seem to have time for dat, anyhow... until I was kind of ready.. and I was kind of looking.. and I was kind of able to spend some time learning how I was going to approach the whole matter, mistakes and all... The vast majority of us have made some mistakes, I would venture to assert, no?

By the way, there are some folks that I attempt to inform about bitcoin, and it takes a whole hell of a lot for them to become ready, so i have to pat myself on the back, to some degree, for NOT seeming to be as stubborn as them, in terms of my ability to recognize some hedging opportunities with bitcoin and also some unique aspects to be able to invest into bitcoin at my own pace and some flexibility (as well as risk) with that.... and accumulating over time and stacking sats (even though was not called stacking sats until recently)....

** By the way, in late 2014, I was kind of kicking myself for a large amount of 2015 because I had blown a decent amount of my fiat wadd in to buying quite a few BTC in the upper $300s and lower $400s because I largely had thought that to be the bottom, and then we had nearly a whole year of $200s and even scary for lower on a few occasions.... , and a lot of my reallocation from traditional investments to BTC in late 2014 took place in relatively quick bundles... which kind of caused me to become somewhat fed up with myself in early 2015.. and even thinking that I have done enough in terms of getting a bitcoin stake.. and just ride out the remainder of any dips and just slowly DCA in 2015.. rather than feeling any kind of urgency in the matter to buy lower.. blah blah blah..

 Not sure why they have to get naked for their protest but that chick in the left rear of the photo forgot to shave.

Angry naked chicks.

I know it's a fake, but if someone actually made one it would probably sell like crazy.

I agree with Majormax in terms of the flaw in the poll (not in terms of his seemingly extreme bearishness - even though he has a right to hold such seemingly outrageously bearish and unrealistic views), and surely it is better if the poll has all possible answers even if the answers seem a bit outrageous to some... kind of like a catch-all that goes to one extreme or another.

Sure, sometimes troll/shills are going to answer the extreme(s), even if they themselves do NOT agree with their own expressed point of view.

There are probably some folks who genuinely believe that BTC will never go to $10k again, too.  Fuck their ideas, but they have a right to express them, even if many of us think that they are gravitating towards nutjob status.**  

** I am not saying that you, majormax, are a nutjob, but surely, you have been providing quite a bit of evidence for such, recently, with your ongoing negative extremes that you actually seem to believe....  

It's still going exponential but measures taken to date near the epicenter have bought some time (skewed R_0). Notably Singapore, Taiwan and Hong Kong have adopted excellent public information and transparency measures that essentially crowd source the public to do much of the contract tracing and reporting, self-isolating, etc. China went full draconian and beat it into submission, along with their people and their economy (if you believe anything coming out of CCP)

The West's socialised inept bureaucrat top down message management is letting it take hold in Western countries.

Outside china fatalities are now at >800 and doubling every 3 days ... I'll let you do the math on when we reach the million mark IF nothing is changed in the containment approach (Italy went full retard because they let it get out of control).

Sad.

Didn't know you were a trans-age-phobic bigot. Proud of you.

Also thanks for hooking me up with a new meme that slipped my attention.

Tucker doing his best to play corona down again. He's been trying really hard to turn it into a meme for the past few months.
Must be trying to get people to take it lightly so they end up getting infected and dying or something.

Clearly that population control plan that Roach and other tinfoilers were talking about for so long.


Given that Hairy is in the same boat as Roach now I suppose it's safe to assume that we're out of conspiracy theory territory and in established factual reality with this assessment.


Everybody start panicking right now. This is not a drill.

Yup, it's from a movie called "Force Majeure" (aka Turist).

They are Norwegian, and I'm pretty sure it's from a movie.

A small comment to TA people who make a big deal (BD) out of violations of various imaginary lines: don't do it.

Extreme circumstances such as market crashes, virus, etc don't follow imaginary lines aka short term violation of such lines is NBD.
Look what MSFT did during the 1987 crash and what followed in the next 10-13 years.

It's mainly just people such as yourself questioning why there are so many pages to catch up on 

So the idea is the following:

• Difficulty is increasing steadily over the last adjustments according to https://btc.com/stats/diff. Hash rate has already grown more than 20% YtD.
• Next expected difficulty adjustment is still expected upwards. It is too early to call for a reliable estimante , but according to https://diff.cryptothis.com/ will be between+0.5% and + 7.50%
• Bitmain has just introduced the S19 and S19 PRO miners, which are going to destroy the s9 miners.
• Halving is exactly two months time (according to https://www.bitcoinblockhalf.com/). This will put a lot of pressure on less efficient miners, pushing their mining profitability below the survivor ship minimum threshold.
• Market is thin and nervous around critical supports, a whale selling could trigger lower levels to profit from.

So yes, this is a reasonable explanation in my opinion, why miners could have been actually selling this market.
I doubt however they had the firing power, or the interest, to start this movement.

Are you kidding me! 13 pages to catch up since I went to bed. If this is 13 pages of nonsense I will be angry.

You guys still think china virus is bullish?

What happened? Why are we following the DOW instead of the inverse?

Is Bitcoin just a luxury?

Oil up 3%. TSLA up 4% after-hours, bitcoin: not moving one satoshi. This is going to be an interesting day.

Update on our shipments from China. I had 2 I was waiting for. One is ready to ship, they sent me a video of the crane being tested which also showed a lot of workers there working (all with masks).

The other one should ship in a couple of weeks.

I put in an order of some steel plates and there is no talk of delays.

Hopefully things are going back to normal.

I expect this all to fizzle out in a couple of months.

Coronavirus operate not only with BTC price, but also modern fashion! Instruction how to wear mask for girls https://prnt.sc/rdxs3q

However, I hope she don't use that instruction, in other way someone will go blind

Only Brabant.

I work at a university in the north, we are preparing for the eventuality tho. 

It isnt a surprise since even in Spain they are closing schools now.
