The State of Cryptocurrency

[Papahyooie]

Please point out in my post where I told you to stop talking about it? Or any post in this thread for that matter.

I also don't have a side. I'm just here playing the game like everyone else. Also, this is not my philosophy. I am merely giving the reality and what you can do about it. Our philosophies are not that far off from each other.

Take a chill pill.

I think this conversation went somewhere it didn't need. You're free to respond but I wouldn't expect a response from me.

A "dog whistle" is when you say something, but there is a hidden meaning or agenda. By saying we should "agree to disagree" you are essentially signaling that you no longer wish to talk to about it. Seeing as how this specific branch of the conversation began with your reply to me, you have joined into the conversation. So telling me to agree to disagree is a dog whistle for "shut up about it." You may not mean it that way, but it effectively is. Also, continually saying that this is off topic or "this conversation went somewhere it shouldn't".... More dog whistling. You're saying, without saying it explicitly , that I should stop talking.

Moreover, as I said, we cannot "agree to disagree" when your philosophy warrants that you should have dominion over me. Agree to disagree implies that we leave each other alone. But the collective (I won't use "you" anymore, because apparently you deny it) will continue to force their laws and regulation upon me, regardless of whether I've done anything to harm them. So there is no "agree to disagree" here.

You say that it isn't your philosophy, but you said outright that we disagree on whether "electing officials to create laws and regulations doesn't actually grant the elected officials the power to create laws and regulations. " That's the philosophy. And yea sure, you're merely giving the reality on what you can do about it. I understand that. I understand that your three choices are, indeed, reality. That's not the point. The point is that by the very nature of those three choices, the collectivists are threatening violence as the alternative. That's my only point here... If you have to threaten violence to maintain your agenda, your authority is not legitimate.

I'm gonna brighten up the mood here with some offtopic...
Went to my office this morning, decided to get coffee and something sweet on the way.

They taste good, but too little too late

Probably...only to come crashing down again.

Until there is a mechanism to override manipulation, history will repeat.

Yeah bitcoin does what it wants, normally the first wave of sellers should already be coming out causing a retracement, but we will see how eager market will be to sell. Up 75%+ since beginning of year ain't bad at all for 5 months and virtually no risk...

I don't really care what it does as long as I catch it right.

Bull run

 

[hat]

I'm thinking of pulling what I got and using it to help me get a car.

 

[verycharbroiled]

Nice increase. Don't forget to pull some profit here and there as you never know when a nasty correction can happen.

Then again all I know (being in this since 2011) is every real bull run to a new ATH makes the previous ATH look pathetic.

Well now... wasn't expecting the trading volume to be getting this substantial this quickly. Not many sellers to be found right now...

Over $7,900 right now. This would be a good thing for the semiconductor industry if it kept running up.

 

[hat]

I sold just under 7000. Wouldn't have, but I needed it.

I expect the price swings to be pretty substantial up & down for a while. I don't even know what to think about the bitcoin futures market which aren't open 24/7, good luck there. Looks like the U.S. - China tariff news caused the dump of a bunch of money into bitcoin.

 

[FordGT90Concept]

China is #1 for cryptocurrency everything so, yeah, good chance this spike is caused by Chinese investors trading yuan (which is rapidly losing value) for crypto.

 

[Deleted member 158293]

China has been the #1 buyer of gold worldwide for a number of years now. Push come to shove I'd think they're not too worried of the value of their yuan.

If they are also diversifying into bitcoin, now that is interesting.

 

[trog100]

the stock markets look a bit grim.. gold is up crypto is up more.. money has to go somewhere..

[TheMadDutchDude]

Breaking past the $8K barrier for BTC ... is it too early to call 'to da moon'?

 

[Deleted member 158293]

Looks like bitcoin trading volume of the last 2 days is the highest ever. Makes sense why it went straight through giant sell walls nobody expected.

Bitcoin just broke $8,000 per coin!!!!! here comes the bull run, if any of you did not sell last time, I'd wait maybe until around 9k and sell everything, I really don't see this lasting. It's def some kind of pump and dump scheme seeing as how there a few massive players running the game.

if it breaks 10k a coin I'd sell 70% of your coins. hodl the other 30% until it hits 7k or lower (or maybe you get lucky and it does keep rising then sell at 20k the last 30%), and just retire. it does have a limit, don't push your luck - also ask yourself this, how much money do you I really need to be happy in life? If you have a chance now to cash out and really upgrade your overall longevity, then do so.

If people bought them at 12k last time, selling at 10k isn't exactly a great proposition is it? Better than it has been but far from great.

it could also crash hard back down to 3k or probably lower if people lose faith in it. and then he is out a lot of profit... so really its up to each person in how much money they need in life to live "comfortably" --- how many times has it been reported there were fake bitcoin trades done to inflate the price? just saying... its a dangerous game
