I am reading attestations of losing 60 lb and keeping it off with a bit of bemusement.
Maybe, when you are 30 (or earlier than 40).

At a certain age (35-40, typically), body weight is stabilized and it is VERY difficult to permanently lose weight.
In fact, any loss of 5-10% of the weight is considered by the body that you are 'starving' or 'dying', so it is throwing the "book" at you by adjusting hormonal systems in a way that keeping the lost weight becomes more and more difficult.

Of course, if someone starts eating pasta twice a day every day, they would gain a lot of weight in a short duration and then simply reversing that should be possible.

Btw, humans and other animals DO lose about 10% of the weight before death (for humans, in the last year or two).

I am older than all the decades you listed in there.  I used to weigh 220 pounds.  Today I imagine I am in the mid 160s.

I did not starve my body at all.  I ate shitloads.  I modulated my hormones... very different approach.

Here we go BTC. We should break $53K. $50K would be great. After that, we could come back stronger 💪.

Glad to see you putting your TA cap on  Grin

Yes... squiggly lines.. take them with a decently-sized grain of salt.

While the shorter time-frames remain bearish, the mid-term (Daily) remains relatively neutral and longer-term (Weekly) remains fully bullish above all it's MAs.

Given the amount of fear and uncertainty in the market based on the shorter-term price action, I wouldn't be surprised to see price wick down to re-test $50K, similar how to $40K was re-tested.

And would you be surprised to see a price wick up to $80k to take advantage of the scaredy cats?  

Not really no, anything can happen in a bull market.


Not anything.  Some things are more likely than other things, including by definition, UPpity is more likely during a bull market.


I'm just not going to speculate too hard on such theories without much basis for it, especially when price is under a relevant distribution level for the time being. If price were to quickly spike above $61K, for sure I'd consider that possibility with a much higher probability. Volatility is at relative lows, so there is a good chance of a big move in either direction, but that direction in the short-term favours the bears, even if in the long-term it'd likely favour the bulls. If the volatility began to favour the bulls, then sure I'd give more validity to that probability.

Fair enough.  Everyone is entitled to an assessment... especially if s/he is capable of making an assessment.

People didn't like my analysis around $64K when I felt a correction (or at minimum sideways trading) was due either, and therefore remained relatively neutral, but hopefully it avoided some FOMO in order to BTFD instead of chasing the rally that was due a correction, even if minor.

Huh?  I wonder why these people did not like your analysis.

Are these "people" in the room with us now?

 Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy


Neither did others when price corrected to $45K and many misinterpreted the "golden cross" (that wasn't very golden) before price reached $40K.

Kind of hard to argue with you if you have such a great track record of being right.

I suppose subscribing to your newsletter might be coming, next?
 
Many did like my analysis that $40K would hold back then, even if you were highly sceptical, as well others understandably.

I am having a hard time following.  Sure, I stated whatever at the time.. so is it currently relevant to anything beyond just trying to proclaim some kind of a track record of being right?
 
As long as my analysis isn't popular, I know it's got value.

That's a weird way of assessing the extent to which something that you are asserting has value.. sounds like you might be shooting for "shit-stirring" value, and surely I am not a large fan of valuing something merely based on its ability to stir shit.
 
What worries me more than anything is everyone agreeing that my analysis is useful or accurate, then I know that it's likely wrong. There's a good reason after all that I share it  Wink

Hopefully you are sharing for your own reasons rather than being concerned about whether people agree or not.
 
Has anyone ever told you that patience is a virtue?

Hm?  First time that I ever heard that expression.. Is that something that you thought about on your own or are you getting it from somewhere?
 
The inpatient usually get REKT. There's nothing wrong with a healthy price correction in a bull market, rest assured.

I don't know where you are getting your baloney that I am impatient... seems like you are just reading something into a situation merely to have some kind of a nonsense talking point.. like throwing shit at a wall and hoping that something might stick..
 
Does not seem convincing to me either way in terms of whether there might be a price wick DOWNity or UPpity....

Precisely, you nailed it. It's really not that difficult to identify the indecision in the market right now, from bull traps to bear traps to sideways trading. Classic consolidation below resistance. This is because there is a conflict with short-term bearish pressure and longer-term bullish pressure. This often means down before up, but you can never be sure in these cases.

We agree that you can never be sure, but you did seems to be emphasizing the down part, and I seem to be emphasizing the UP part.. because last time I checked we were in a bull market.. even though I know peeps come to differing conclusions about whether we are in a bull market or not and then also differing conclusions regarding if whatever correction that we happen to be in is over or not.
 
especially that we have largely been bouncing between about $53k and $61k for slightly more than 2 weeks (while in a bullmarket)..

Again, good analysis here. However the structure of how this is happening is worth paying attention to. This isn't within a parallel channel of consolidation or otherwise a bullish pattern, it's been with lower highs and lower lows, so definitely a time to remain cautious.

If you are not trading then not sure what to be cautious about... for example, if you are DCA buying on a regular basis, I doubt that you have to change much of anything that you are doing...unless you happen to be changing something that you are doing for other reasons.
 
The lower highs confirms weakness in the price each time it bounces, as do the lower lows. Ie when price goes less and less high each time, it confirms weakness.

Yes.. it is weak until it is not.  Last time I checked we had an ATH that was less than a month ago.. wasn't that on November 10 that we reached $69k... seems like it.
 
When price is going down, it's confirming selling pressure. If people would prefer to simply DCA into this dip using a time-based strategy using a blindfold, then for sure I've got no arguments with that idea.

Good DCA remains amongst the best of strategies, and surely that strategy can be supplemented with lump sum investing and buying on dips.. at least until feeling that they have bought enough BTC... so surely each person is going to have differing assessments regarding how much BTC is enough.
 
sure with a overall trending DOWNity in the short term, but since when did our lil fiend, aka king daddy care about that kind of technical mumbo-jumbo shit that might last for 2 weeks-ish or perhaps still only about 3 weeks when we are talking about the last ATH?

Bare in mind, king daddy doesn't invest in Bitcoin. King Daddy IS Bitcoin.

Great.  We are on the same page there.
 
However, investors of Bitcoin are usually interested if there is 2-3 weeks or downside, or even 2-3 weeks of sideways trading.

Maybe they are, and maybe they are not.
 
Human beings are naturally curious beings that like to learn, explore new ideas, theorise on the possibilities of life itself. Bitcoin is a nothing more than a computerized blockchain, it doesn't care.

I am not sure if you are saying anything that has any meaning, helpfulness or relevance.
 
I don’t know why, there is no TA …

But somewhere in my lower half of my carrying weight I got this feeling which says

Weekendpump on its way….

Only men got this lower hanging weight on one side…

What a riddle, but surely could not have lower odds of coming true than the mumbo jumbo that dragonvslinux just propagated upon us....

 Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy

Let's wait and see. At least at think my analysis is more accurate than idea of of 0s and 1s having feelings  Grin

I would not have so much confidence in that, smartie pants.   Tongue Tongue
 
That's something that I think will never truely come to light. Even with AI development etc, I think you forget that Bitcoin is immutable, so even the development of robotics that "theoretically" could artificially generate emotions, doing this with Bitcoin would be near impossible.

Again, does this have meaning?  Is it helpful?  Is it relevant?
 
Remember BCH? That hard fork didn't work either. I doubt a hard fork where Bitcoin starts caring would be successful either!

You would go there?

You seem to be grasping for straws dragonvslinux with whatever point that you are wanting to make, if any.

But I do like the theory of Bitcoin caring and therefore having feelings, it's always interesting to explore different concepts, even if it's only to confirm their irrelevance.

Now, you are devolving into a patronizing disposition.. which is hardly becoming of a gentleman soothsayer wannabe.

I Am Ready To Buy At $10,000

You still won’t buy at $10,000 if we got there (unlikely).
You’d be hoping for $2,500, I’ve seen your type many times over the years. Have fun staying poor!

Don't feed the troll. $10k is absolutely impossible. Michael Saylor, El Salvador & other big guys would buy the entire supply at that price.  Cool

Never selling


View Profile
December 03, 2021, 10:29:32 PM

So what will this weekend bring us I wonder? hopefully a bounce because I'm getting tired of dip after dip. I see on-chain indicators are still going fairly well but not as good as a month ago.

What surprises me still is that the markets actually listen to the FED tough talk when they know its impossible to let things deflate as that will cause massive debt destruction (i.e money supply destruction) and the failure of society. It seems we have to go through these tempoary periods where we all pretend we are not in a ponzi before we realize that we are so the FED pumps again. Our monetary system can not survive deflation, therefore we must have inflation, the FED will let up if markets continue to sour.

Hello guys. I have not much time for the forum these days, trying to get a promo at work, so that I get more fiat to buy coins. And also the satisfaction to climb a "level", becoming "management" (with nobody to manage, which is the best kind).

Some time ago we talked about stablecoins to trade BTC against, and I came out thinking I should go with USDC, not USDT, I wanted to see if the sentiment is still the same, here.

I want to stop trading fiat<=>BTC because legally I should declare every trade with an uber complex formula that includes the total of my crypto assets. Something I don't do, and don't plan to do, so I want to just stop doing these trades, that way after a few years without being found out, I would be "in the clear". Since I've been in crypto I put more money in that I got out so in a way there is no fiat profit, so I don't feel I should have paid taxes either, the day I'm BTC rich (well, the day BTCUSD is high enough) and live off them I won't mind paying taxes on my withdrawals (might be in a low tax place, but I would only go somewhere I would enjoy). Meanwhile I pay all my taxes on fiat income.

My trades are basic, I sell some coin every 1000$ up, and buy back 3000$ lower, using all the fiat from the sale (profit is all in BTC). It's not making me rich but I accumulate some dust that way, and it's enough to keep me from doing stupid things (like selling big amounts at low prices...). The coins I'm selling were all bought for that purpose from fiat, not part of my stash.

I notice that USDC has less volume and liquidity than USDT, I'm not sure it matters for what I do. USDC being safer seems more important. I will follow USDT prices on my phone and see if my USDC trades are executed when USDT crosses a 1000$ line.

I might change my main exchange since I won't be needing the very good instant Euro deposit anymore, nor fiat at all. Which one is a big one, safe, and with the lowest fees ?

I also have wired and converted enough fiat for my expected 2022 DCA, I will need to figure out a way to buy USDC (or other crypto that would be converted to USDC, or BTC) on the DL, without using my bank accounts, for subsequent years.

TLDR : USDC over USDT, yay or nay ?

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but... In most countries, any time you sell your Bitcoin for anything else (be it FIAT, other crypto, stable coins, or just whores & coke) it is a taxable event. You 100% sure it is not like that under your jurisdiction?

About your specific question... None of the stable coins are risk free. Haven't really analysed which one is "less risky/more stable" even if I think USDT is the more popular/widely used one.

P.S.: Looks like you are right in that France does not consider it a taxable event. That's awesome:

It's great in the way a 25% off sale is great.

Think about it: If you told one of us at $800 a coin that bitcoin would be crashing down to 53k I don't think they would have been too depressed.

I am getting 'lost' in all these gyrations, but hodling through for better or worse.

yea I'm totally lost -- I feel worn out -- not selling or anything but growing tired and could use a break from the charts and the constant feed of news...

Apparently, SP500 is flat since 1997, if you calculate (normalize) against M2 money supply.
