Hey guys I know you all posted statistics, probability, and multiple cases about people who sunk all their money into the lottery, but I heard of a guy who won $3 million on a lottery ticket.

I am therefore convinced that you all are wrong about the lottery and shouldn't make fun of people who lost their life's savings.

Ah so the resumption of normal trading while bitcoin has been appreciating for the past 6 months once the 4 month period of anomalous trading came to an end, as they tend to do.

But it's important to frame it as a catastrophic drop in trading volume with no other context or explanation. Hmm. Do you think that, maybe, that is misleading?
look at this nimrod question what he doesnt know anything about or understand, get schooled with an explanation of the external market forces that boosted bitcoin which have now ceased, then go right back to spouting oblivious nonsense with no regard for why he is spouting nonsense or the significance of not even being slightly aware of the most significant market force to affect bitcoin trading volume in its entire lifespan
that and the bitcoin victimization complex where you were framing the issue as a catastrophic drop without explanation (!) when the explanation is right there

you could inform him of literally anything it will bounce off his forehead before he gets back to telling you "but the price the exchanges say bitcoin is worth is so high!"

Help me understand something. If you think bitcoins are dumb you are justified in posting whatever you want and it's cool. Just post on SA following the consensus.

If you think those people are wrong about how dumb bitcoins are, you have to provide proof of being a bitcoin investor and your earnings or losses.

Obviously you're not this retarded, so what are you really trying to accomplish?

Hey buuuuuuuddy... you can recognize that something is a terrible idea and not do it. You can also say to someone who is arguing in favor of the obviously bad idea "well, have you done the bad thing? How did it go for you?"

This is not actually a contradiction of any kind. I don't need to hit my dick with a hammer to say "show me how unbruised your dick is, guy on the internet who is in favor of people hitting their own dicks with hammers."

Need Advice on Inheritance Arbitrage Family etc posted:

The Bitcoin boom has been wonderful for some people, obviously, but I am really struggling. Last year my father passed away (my mother passed away from cancer many years ago), and my sister and I were left with a large inheritance. I am 23 and my sister is only 17 (parents had us when they were somewhat older. The inheritance was placed entirely in my control to be split between my sister and I. He did not want her to have access to the money until she turned 21. I am tasked with assisting her with college payments, etc. I chose to liquidate the majority of the assets and was left with around $750,000. I am bitter about this because I was ripped off by a shifty individual taking advantage of my ignorance on some things. I should have gotten much more than I did.

I discovered Bitcoin a few years ago. I today greatly regret that the moment I liquidated the inheritance I didn't place the entirety of it into Bitcoin. With Bitcoin on the verge of making it very, very big I began performing arbitrage six months ago. The rising adoption has created volatility which makes it very good for arbitrage. I know of people that have made A LOT of money doing this, but I have now lost A LOT of money.

I am consistently misjudging the movement of the markets. I buy in and sell, not holding any long term positions. On the 19th, I bought 250 coins at $800; it was quickly rising and I was worried I would not be able to buy in at that price ever again. Immediately after my purchase it began tanking. I tried to hold my position hoping it was just temporary and would return to $800 and increase from there. After hitting around $600 it began to increase again, I viewed this as reaffirming my projection. It rose again to around $700. I held my position into the 20th, it dropped to $500 and that was my sell point hoping to minimize my losses. I lost $75,000 in an almost 24/hr period. This was my fastest and almost largest single trade loss. If I had continued to hold I would be able to sell right now with minimal losses.

I have "made" money on trades, but overall the losses have kept me in the red. As of today, over the past 7 months I have lost a total of $410,000. The inheritance was supposed to be split between my younger sister and I, giving us each $375,00 + half of the house (not worth much, rural area, etc).

However, I don't have a legal obligation to provide her with half of the money, that was a verbal contract between my father and I, the in-writing legal stuff allocates it all to me. I made the mistake of telling her that I invested the money in Bitcoin; she has read the news etc on it, so she is under the assumption that there is a lot more money than there actually is. Regardless, I have already paid her first year of college tuition in cash anyway, this was around $30,000. I also bought her a used car to take to college ($5,000). We later found out they don't want freshman to have cars?? So we might sell it and I can give her that money. Ultimately, in addition to other living expenses, bills, car, etc I have around $280,000 left which is currently all liquid.

Now, if you took the time to read all of that, thank you, sorry it was so long. What I am looking for is advice on how to trade. How can I guarantee that I earn high returns? What are good resources on how to trade Bitcoin? Are there any good books to read on trading? General information I may be missing?

I know I can earn this money back, I just need to figure out how. If there is an experienced trader out there that is in need for funding I am willing to work out a deal where we can work together on this. I need to see a proven track record of success though.

Thanks for your time. I know a lot of people are going to respond negatively to me, I know I hosed up. I really, really, need advice though so please don't downvote me just because I am an idiot.

Should have just let it ride like any smart person.

Hey, dude that only posts FUD and only negative comments from reddit:

Why, if anyone is going to post a positive opinion on bitcoin, do they have to prove that they are invested in it before they can post that what you're saying is total garbage? Since you decided to imply that it was necessary like 5 different times, I'd like you to explain why there are two standards that you hold posters to. Ones that want to talk poo poo can do so freely, ones that want to disagree have to meet a higher standard.

So reddit did this thing today, where they decided to paste the comment from 4 years ago where bitcoin was $30 and someone predicted it would go to $3000

https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/18xs2b/mining_coins_on_a_quadcore_in_2010_aka_why_i_want/c8j8ng9/

You may be surprised to find... that the very first response... to this dude pointing out that Bitcoin could appreciate to $3000... is telling him "Well you'd better be buying all you can then"

quote:

And 4 years from now, people will be kicking themselves again for selling at $30 when they could have sold for $3000.

quote:

if you feel that is the case you should be putting as much money as you can into bitcoin.. working 60 hr weeks etc just to buy as much as possible

And I'm just wondering, now that 4 years later Bitcoin is $3000... who gives a poo poo whether that guy bought bitcoins himself or not, he called it correctly. Why was whether the guy who made the claim that it woudl go to $3000 also personally investing every spare dollar into Bitcoin... why would that change whether or not Bitcoin would reach $3000?

Whether or not that guy bought $0, $5, or $50,000 of bitcoin, it hit $3000 like he said it would 4 years ago. So why did it matter if that guy had all his money in bitcoins when he made that prediction?
