You see, but you do not observe.

If Bitcoin drops it’s only because Ethereum was slightly better ranked by the Weiss Crypto commission

https://www.cnbc.com/2018/01/24/weiss-ratings-gives-ethereum-higher-rating-than-bitcoin.html

This is only temporary of course, as the Lightning Network is about to be deployed in the next few months

This is the only reason Alpha Mayo is willing to gamble on Bitcoin!

Even though I have a strong feeling it will crash soon, if it doesn't collapse I can give SA a $30 donation. Been a while since I supported the site anyway.

I am 100% with you. I am not toxxing myself though. However, I have pulled out from the markets because they have been dropping 1-2% for no apparent reason other than correction.

Also because there hasn't been a crash for 10 years and we are due for another one.

Also because of this.



Bitcoin is going to crash and gently caress up the markets for a bit. I'll just start buying back in when everything bottoms out.

Yes. Makes sense. The market is vastly inflated due to trump and greed. Corps want to get as much $$$ as possible before Trump gets curbstomped out of the white house. The gravy train is going to come to an end sooner than later.

Kinda feel your toxx should have an "unless more tether is printed" clause. Because more tether will be printed.

Bitcoin is dumb but this chart being abused is just as dumb. I looked up the study to quote it about the graph but it's in French.

His hypothesis is based on guessing the tether printings are tied to the futures markets and more tether won't be printed because the next futures call is at the end of the day and the tether people have a bet placed on bitcoin going down.

I don't think more Tether will be printed. I think they want to walk the price down slowly then let it plummet right before Bitcoin Futures settlement for January (which is tomorrow).

The price fixing is getting really predictable. Another 200 point drop within 10 minutes is my guess.


This is why they are walking down the price. When the price drops, volume of futures goes up because people think they are suddenly getting a good deal. If they drop too fast though they will spook investors.

So I work at a bar, when bitcoin was at its highest these 5 uber dorks walk in, and start ordering top shelf poo poo, and buying drinks for people. This sets off my Crypto-Radar, so I decided to befriend these guys, and see what the deal is. They all walk outside, bust out some huge loving cigars, and sit around the fire. These guys are over the moon, so I add some more wood to the fire, start talking to them. One of them beams to me, "Bet you'd never thought you'd be sitting around a fire with a bunch of millionaires huh?" So I play along, blahblahblah bit-what?!?! They proceed to tell me that they all are super rich on bitcoin, and they wouuuuuld show me, but like I'm way too late to the game. So of course some randos start being interested in this ultra alpha group, and ask about buttcoin. It was hilarious watching them try to explain it, as they got hosed up, to people that were already hosed up. I will say props to one of them, probably the most stereotypical looking goon, who got an uber home with a hot chick, I wonder if he got some?

We'll never know, because they all slowly stopped coming in as the price has gone down, and down, and down. One of them still comes in and I asked him the other day, "Hey man how's your portfolio doing?" He winced, and said it was all just a minor dip, and he'd be alright, it'll go back up.....it always does.

I mean, this is an interesting story that hits all the points of smugness on both sides, but if they actually were worth a million at any point it's not like they're penniless now. Bitcoin is still worth 50% of it's ATH.
