Topic: why i'm not selling my coins - page 3. (Read 2795 times)

they are doing it on purpose to cause havoc and instigate people to panic sell, it's all about getting many cheap coins as possible, i've learned it many times already, bitcoin market is manipulated in one way or another

but i'll keep my coins regardless, bitcoin will not die because of an hard fork, there were worst case in the past with bug and exploit, and bitcoin coem always victorious


proof of this? all i see is a retreat to around $1000 which was the value before th alast pump, there is not any sell of from whales, there is no reason to sell, only newbie sell because of FUD not whales

so are you implying that Blockstream/core is spamming bitcoin transactions to increase the backlog (transactions in mempool) and cause the delays and fee rise?
you know that there is the same conspiracy theory saying BU is doing the spam attack right?

if you are implying whales sold and got out then you are spreading FUD.
and if it were true price would be $100 by now. not staying above $1000 with a big buy support and still a huge volume.

please keep the split FUD/drama out of speculation board

whales have already sold their coins above $1200 and when nobody was looking and then the panic started, the order sizes that were filled in the initial hour of the panic-inducing-dump supports this.

and then they bought back what they sold, again when nobody was looking, at the range of $9xx to $1000 and again the big buy walls preventing the price going lower than $960 after the bounce back from the lowest price supports this.

Can anybody predict when this hard fork will happen?
Anyway,i`ve shorted my bitcoins before this month price fall and i`m ready for the next increase.
Bitcoin Unlimited is going to the trash obviosly.

I am holding on for the opposite reason. I can see that BU will go the same route as Bitcoin XT and they will become part of the failed attacks on Bitcoin. The mining cartels will not control Bitcoin development, like they control everything else at the this moment.

Just because Roger Ver think he can create a new coin with a President to replace Satoshi, does not mean everyone else has to accept this. We got rid of the Bitcoin Foundation and we will get rid of centralized monopoly by mining cartels and people with money like Roger Ver, who wants to force people to follow him like sheep. ^heh^

Yes all will be buying when all this tension will be over, actually people are worried about possible hard fork but i don't see it happening within next few weeks or even months. So i am also expecting another bull run to push price over $1300 in a blink of an eye.  

I think whales are holding price low to buy under $1000 before starting a rally.

iam not selling coin, because iam lost
i am hold until coin can incraese again until iam profit can selling
if still down price iam use margin short, iam trading in bitfinex,kraken, and poloniex in there support margin trading

As Op described once the ongoing tension gets settled we'll experience a big rally in price increase. Right now panic selling is happening a lot without realising the ongoing tension. On the other hand along with the same but is gaining support compared to the buggy coin which is focused to support high fee as well the centralized system. So in a short or near future we may feel the goodness of bitcoin along with good price increase.

i'm really curious to see how much longer this deadlock can drag on for. sometimes it feels infinite, other times i'm thinking 'come on, something's gotta give soon'. i'm seesawing constantly. 

I'll be honest with you -- i was considering selling a portion of my coins,
expecting a crash during this period of great uncertainty, but now i'm strongly leaning
toward holding all of them.

We may still see a sell off.

But, my thoughts are as follows:

- Populist movement of BU means community is NOT letting Blockstream/Core get away with their agenda... In other words,
not letting them cripple the network with high fees and slow confirmation times, which would kill the utility of Bitcoin
and give the business to alts.  This is VERY good news.  Even with multiple node crash bugs, BU hashrate is rising.  Miners can see the writing
on the wall, they would rather use buggy BU than roll over for Core.

- Big whales already sold off a lot of coins

- Network split likely not to happen.  Core will capitulate and give the community bigger blocks or emergent consensus
because that is what people want -- even luke jr's own straw poll advocated this in the event that hashpower takes
over.  Core will save their ass even if they can't save face and at least try to remain as the "main" repo even if they
have to raise the blocksize.

- Already seeing alternate patches like Core + EC

- $1000 price now seen as support.  Dips below $1000 will be bought.  Also good timing with Chinese controls --
too late to get out now.  Only panic sellers will want to cash out at under $1000.  Big upside reward to hang
in there.

- Everyone knows there will be a huge rally after the tension is settled.  Whales will be buying back their positions.
Smaller investors too.  No one will sell.
