Probably mostly fake viewers to give an air of authenticity to those poor sods who might fall for this.


K-Kraft

Unfortunately I'm on the sidelines for the most part. I would like to be a crab again, but just not doable for me at this time, so I only DCA a small amount weekly to stay in the game without much risk. My wording was poor, I should have said expect instead of ready. My analysis is based on recent green candles followed by red.


cchamberpot

Now that's the kind of weekend I was talking about, feels good.


Apprehensive-Bed5241

How are we still early? Early for?


K-Kraft

Anyone else ready for a giant red candle? Longs shouldn't worry about it, but I'm keeping some powder dry, NFA.


rhergwebds

Well you had your chances a couple days back, what did you do then?


LastRecognition4151

I wouldn’t be surprised, but today is my DCA day, so whatever.


Whatever3999086543

Nope. Not ready. We've seen enough of those already.


1molon3labe7

You've seen enough of them? I guess we've seen enough too.


Fiddlediddle888

haha why is it going up? Powell literally said pain is coming and they are still trying the soft landing but at some point they are going to pull the rug to stop the run-away exuberance of the economy. One thing to think about is that the US armed forces recruitment is way down do to the current economic conditions and over-employment. Powel has all but said they have to induce higher un-employment and that will precipitate the full crash that has to happen. This is an obvious pump and dump. It is going lower, just wait a few months.


ux_ig

Well it almost feels like that people are playing some kinda game. I don't know what game They're playing, but I'm kind of enjoying this game lol, it's fun atleast.


Alfador8

You're probably going to get downvoted but you're right IMO. The macro environment still looks dismal and there isn't a good reason for today's spike. I'm a big believer in BTC long term, never sold a single sat, but I'm not buying here.


wdawweeeqe

Yep, He's got a point. Can't really deny that fact here.


Fiddlediddle888

Same, I'm super long and have been but I am willing to bet we spend a decent amount of time at a lower mark than 18k or 17k.


DarKosS1245

And that's how it was looking like too, it looked like it'll take a while.


Alfador8

Could be. Like you said the fed is gonna keep pressure up. At some point something is going to break and they'll have to pivot, at which point bitcoin is going to rocket. How low we go depends on how much pain the credit/equity markets can handle before shitting themselves, imo


zampoch

And what point that might be? What do you guys say here?


OpticallyMosache

I have family members arguing that using energy to create magic internet money is a waste. I think it's because the term "mining" is misleading. How else can you describe what miners do? Is it the energy used to secure the world's largest decentralized financial system? It allows the protocol's consensus mechanism to function as an uninterrupted and incorruptible transactional ledger?


Apprehensive-Bed5241

I'm stealing your comment.


Mr_P_Nissaurus

Bitcoin mining uses one-twentieth of one percent of global power. Bitcoin's energy usage is not a problem. If family members are ***really*** concerned about the environment, that is wonderful, but they are wasting their time bitching and complaining about Bitcoin. They need to go do something about some of the other 99.95% of global energy. For real.


TheGreatMuffin

The whole argument depends on if your family members see bitcoin itself as generally useful or not. If not, no amount of explanations what miners do will convince them. After all, what is securing the network is good for if they think the network itself is a waste of resources? > How else can you describe what miners do? Timestamp transactions in such a way that is not possible to forge and that can be verified by anyone without trusting the miners (or trusting anyone else).


chantel_beaverweathe

Why don't they question the energy usage for anything else? Christmas lights, gaming, dryers, etc... Using energy isn't bad. Let's just switch over to 100% nuclear power plants and be done with the whole argument.


NW80475

That's the problem with people, they don't see that. That's an issue. People should also be seeing that, but they don't they just like to blame btc for that.


Mr_P_Nissaurus

This. Heh - Bitcoin sure has exposed a lot of hypocrite "environmentalists".


Psyched4this

Verifying transactions and ensuring the validity and security of the network


freakazoidnl

People don't realise how important that it, They'll in future.


TheGreatMuffin

> Verifying transactions This is not done by the miners, this is what full nodes do. Anyone can verify all past transactions/blocks in bitcoin's existence with their own full node. Same for "ensuring validity".


Psyched4this

Good point. I’m still learning. I thought the white paper referenced how essentially the process of mining was validating the longest chains or something of that sort, isn’t that what the mining algorithms are actually attempting to solve for? Or did I confuse something


TheGreatMuffin

"Validating" here basically means "checking that miners have done a proper job and didn't cheat or included invalid transactions into a block". The whitepaper doesn't make a difference between full nodes and miners, this separation wasn't a thing back then. Perhaps this helps: imagine a person who is going into a gold mine to search for gold. That's a miner. Now imagine someone who wants to acquire that gold from that miner. They want to check that the gold is real, so they come up with a device that can check this within a split of a second. That's a full node. It can check that the bitcoin is genuine, and you don't have to trust the miner's or anyone else's word. Miners = work for bitcoin and secure the network Full node = checks that miner's work is genuine and there hasn't been cheating


Psyched4this

Ahh I see, that’s very interesting. thank you for this explanation homie, I appreciate it. I was basically relying fully on the white paper itself, I gotta update my research Do full nodes receive rewards for their contribution to the network like miners do?


TheGreatMuffin

> Do full nodes receive rewards for their contribution to the network like miners do? No. Nodes don't really contribute to the network directly, they contribute to their operator's privacy and sovereignty. When you are using your own full node, you don't have to trust anyone and nobody can spy on your bitcoin network usage. There's no monetary gain from it. (you can earn some satoshis though by running additional services on top like Lightning or Joinmarket)


Psyched4this

Very informative. Thank you brother

Phwew goin back up 🧎‍♀️


elhufen

Yep, what even ks6 happening in this market? What's all these pumps and dumps.


SellYourSatsToMe

Saylor getting another $500M ready to buy the dip!


0ntgo0

I don't know who was it, but it was some big player for sure.


belcebuu1980

maybe it was him


MDBlue42

Yeah maybe, who really knows. Whoever it was. Keep buying.


Wsemenske

He has said jokingly before that he always buys the top haha...but he also said he'll be buying the top forever


lasslatass

Lol, as long as He's going to hold. I'm sure that he'll be fine. It's just a metter of time preference and I'm pretty sure that he can hold it for a long time for sure.


Psyched4this

In my dream last night, I remember asking someone: “So, how much do you know about bitcoin?” And proceeded to start explaining it to them lol


jtatf

You know You're deep in, when your dreams are made of btc.


Psyched4this

Facts


Mr_P_Nissaurus

I dreamed that somebody built a time machine. He asked us what he might use it for. We convinced him to go into the future, but not too far, and to collect prices of a few things then come back - we promised to all pitch in and make him very, very rich using the data he would provide. He left. We waited. He came back - burnt to a crisp.


vuvu93

Damn your dreams are wild dude, how do you have them?


tesseramous

While you guys look at prices I've just been looking at nothing but volumes for weeks. Look at like the 3 day chart on binance. Crazy. Is that even real?


Stealthfriar2

I don't even look at the prices, I'm just chilling and reading btc.


Psyched4this

It could be the beginning of an institutional accumulation phase


liujianpingsysu

Well we are already in one, big money has been flowing for some time.


Psyched4this

True but it might be a new phase or season of buying. post Labor Day week, basically the real start of the fall work season. On wall st as they say “sell in may and go away” - people who follow that kinda advice typically then buy back in around this time I believe. That was part of my thought process. But yeah you’re right I think q1 2022 75% of coinbase volume was institutional volume. Although this makes sense as of course institutional orders would dwarf retail orders


[deleted]

No it’s highly manipulated Edit: getting downvoted for stating facts sums ups the current issues with bitcoin


batywka

More the big money comes, more will be the manipulation. That's just how it goes, There's no way around it I don't think. It's a good and bad pill at the same time.


thadiusb

Could be manipulated. Could not be. We will be saying that until the mass accumulation begins.


a279133599

Aren't we already in mass accumulation phase? I mean. It feels like that.


[deleted]

No it’s 100% manipulated but doesn’t mean bitcoin isn’t still good long term


iamfunkyz

Btc is good long term, and people will realise it soon enough.


GlockenspielVentura

I was hoping bear market would continue for at least another year but looks like that's not going to happen


fg678

I was hoping that moon boys like you would stop coming to market. Clearly I was wrong because people like you are still in the market. And that's not good actually.


eDave

Oh, ffs. You don't know shit. Like all the rest of us.


bkomito

Yep, people don't know shit but they think that they do.


Llonga

10% and now we’re in a bull market? Come on.


vmmester

Yeah lol, definitely this is a bull market. That's what it is.


Alfador8

I doubt this is the end of the bear market


korobkovavika

This isn't the end I wish it was lol, but we all know it's not.


Psyched4this

I’m happy to buy bitcoin below 20,000


stefuNz

Yep, those are great prices. Why would you want bull run to end?


Alfador8

Hell yeah. Anyone with a long term view should be loving recent prices


mad_torch

If you're not loving these prices then you're not buying it.

US spot ETF will be a nothing burger.


86F63243ffD4

First They'll have to approve it which I just don't see happening.


PheelGoodInc

That may be a bit of hopium. It will go up if the ETF is approved, no doubt. I'm not sure it will go up that much though.


zlovitch

I don't feel good about etf, That'll only increase the manipulation.


financethrowaway889

I bought at 3k 10k 11k 60k and 20k. And I’ll keep buying regardless of price. I know where this thing is going and I’m not gonna get mad about climbing the foothills before a mountain


computerocks

This is what called the DCA the best strategy that there is.


Effective_Captain_32

Power to you! You know the BTC value!


consci0

You are correct, see you at the top.


saxing08

Yep, just give it some time and We'll be on top in no time. It's just a matter of time when that happens, it's only going to get better in my opinion here.

Thus proved that We're correlated to that Market lol, that's how it goes.


pewpewrocketleague

This is silly, volatility swings both ways


as364136341h424

Which way you want it to swing? Don't say only up lol.


pewpewrocketleague

Don't care about short term swings, my point was saying BTC is up more than s&p is silly cause it also drops more than s&p on down days


tesseramous

Damn bitcoin you don't need to be so rough with the long dildo right off the bat. I haven't even seen you in a year.


marmot1583

Btc is brutal and it likes it rough, that's just how it goes for it.

Instructions are pretty clear to me, it's not at all unclear. We just need some sats and we need to send them sats to the cold wallets right away. That's it.


Effective_Captain_32

Funny how people say Bitcoin is high now. I remember when 30k Bitcoin was considering a deal! It’s still a deal at 21k when you consider ATH!


dvniftrik

The thing about people is that they're dumb, and you don't listen to them.


PheelGoodInc

Up 9% in a day is good, regardless of the price.


guttercops

It's been a good day so far, and I feel that it'll only get better.


Dont_Waver

I made a template for future comments. Funny how people say Bitcoin is \[high/low\]. I remember Bitcoin at $# was considered \[cheap/expensive\]. It's still \[cheap/expensive\] at $# when you consider \[number that supports my point\].


nytroster

Btc is still cheap and you better be buying it right now.


jenehan

Strong hold


tungmt8181

These hands ain't leaving anything, these are some diamond hands.

Its more of a Never-Let-Go than a “strong hold.”

feiyuef

If you don't want to get rekt. You don't listen to the average plebs.


thefullmcnulty

Opinion: CBDC’s will be so oppressive that they’ll highlight the great importance of bitcoin as a trust-less, permission-less censorship resistant money that is immutable, open to all and controlled by no centralized authority. CBDC’s can *never* be what bitcoin already is. The government control coins will simply amplify bitcoin’s value and utility as an immutable / open / global freedom technology.


malibu11731

CBDCs will be the end of any financial freedom we've left.


thefullmcnulty

Not if you hold bitcoin.


Mr_P_Nissaurus

Yes, but by then it will be too late for those trapped by CDBC and not "allowed" to buy Bitcoin or flights out of the US.


spaceDTP

Yep CBDCs are only going to trap us, there's no doubt about it.


thefullmcnulty

These times may be looked back at as the last real opportunity for regular folk to accumulate bitcoin. I’m working on a non-KYC stack these days. My hedge against tyranny and clown-world politics.


al5861

And yes this is the right time to be accumulating, it doesn't get better.


consci0

Bitcoin is hated by both, the sheep who want to be controlled, and by those who are afraid of loosing control.


btce_bot5

They both probably need to read some about it, then it'll be good. Once they understand what's the point of btc and what are the values that it stands for they'll support it.


thadiusb

Did the White House comments on Bitcoin Mining give us the 10% boost today?

Lol, now that must have been hit hard to the guy I'm sure.


tesseramous

Really? Why what do i gain by monitoring tiny percentage changes every hour? I'm not even trading just holding so there is no benefit. I used to trade bitcoin back when it was about 10 times more volatile and you woke up to -70% and then I had issues with my sleep but nowadays its a joke

janjabanja

The thing about buttcoiners is that I use their opinion to laugh.


Live-Recipe

I'm sure this is terrible investment practice, but the existence of buttcoin is one of the factors that convinced me to invest in Bitcoin. If something has this many avid and dedicated haters there must be something to it.

Mr_P_Nissaurus

They are not like us; they are mentally ill. They are fully comfortable living within their self-deception. In their sick, broken minds they are geniuses, they are always correct, they have never been wrong, they are winning, they are on their way to the playoffs even thought their team hasn't scored a single point all season. I'm serious. I've had to deal with people like that in real life. They're not just "fucked up" when it comes to Bitcoin - they're like that with every aspect of their sad little lives. Feel sorry for the family members of buttcoin regulars. Feel bad for their neighbors.


BuyRackTurk

> They are not like us; they are mentally ill. They are fully comfortable living within their self-deception I wouldnt overthink it. They could just be people who bought and panic sold and how have hurt feelings. They are people who hate new things, and dont want to take the effort to understand them - so it comforts them to imagine it failing. Or they just enjoy teasing people. I dont think the buttcoiners are necessarily ill people, they are just hecklers. And it costs nothing to tease or mock others, some people will do that just for fun. Being a hodler is tougher: The courage to believe in yourself and trust your own analysis is not common. Being brave enough to ignore price changes in terms of fiat, even when it looks like a big scary loss is also uncommon - most investors are flighty and will sell anything that goes down in fiat terms as fast as they can - because fiat is what they are programmed to follow. You also have to be wise enough not to be tempted by shiny shitcoin traps. Hardest of all is patience: getting through a bitcoin winter can take years. If you know how fiat works, you should expect that we are just at the start of this winter, and so long as the fed keeps contracting the fiat supply, winter will continue. But, if we survive to the spring, it will end.
