Is anyone else starting to become a bit excited?

So Peter Schiff has reluctantly admitted what was obvious at first glance: that losing access to his bitcoins was due to human mistake on his part ... not newsworthy but entertaining :-)

He's also building his profile, etc. There's no such thing as bad publicity.

Yes I would say so. I saw him interviewed at gold conference earlier this week and he spent quite a bit of time “joking” about this and saying it is the worst investment he ever made as it went to 0. He’s just pleasing a certain audience.

IMO he isn’t even amongst the best promoters or sources of information in the space of precious metals. I much prefer listening to a guy like Pierre Lassonde who is less vocal and present in the media but IMO more interesting and knowledgeable with massive experience and recognition in the industry.

CZ is now (sarcastically) praising Peter Shiff ... they are like kids at a playground :-D

If that's praise, I'd love to see his sarcastic put-down.

Goldbugs and crypto heads have an awful lot in common. The boner for ‘hard money’, libertarian woo, a mistrust of Government, the need to constantly shill their ‘investment’.

Well, in fairness, the dollar is just about to collapse any day now, so you should really load up on gold/crypto to survive the ensuing dystopia

Nice gains today. Push.

Dohnjoe

Nice gains indeed, but jesus christ Bitcoin Gold had a double-spend 51% attack and is up 12%. Irrational doesn't begin to describe this market, but hey that's the attraction

Lex Luthor

What coins are people holding in general apart from BTC?

I’ve got a few smaller bags of XRP, ADA, BAT, ETH & LTC

Majority is in BTC though

Dohnjoe

Apart from BTC and Eth, a disgusting multitude of alts. The upside? every day at least one or two of them is up 20%

I'll get rid of 90% of them during the next bull if there is one

banie01

BTC, ETH, LTC, BNB and currently trading between those and building BTC.

Pump it

crushproof

BTC gains covering my stock market losses

Lex Luthor

Nice gains last 24hrs, managed to get out of a trade I had been holding for over 2 months and took a bit of profit even after the daily rollover fees

There is still a CME Futures gap around €7600 that will probably be filled so expecting that to happen this week before we retest tht 200 MA again

3rd time lucky hopefully

q85dw7osi4lebg

Yeah would like to see the CME gaps myself before pumping much more. Eventually BTC will ignore these gaps IMO.

200 ma very strong resistance, if we fail here I think we could see 7k again (hope we do briefly)

Lex Luthor

I closed out a long position last night at 1am while sleeping at €8255 that I got about 2 months ago at €6900. It was a bit of a rollercoaster and I've never held onto a long leverage position for that long, overall fees cost me in the region of €300 but the overall gains more than covered it

Daily rollover fee was €4.14 so it wasnt breaking the bank even if I had to hold it for another month

I was "fairly" confident it would come back in higher in the new year so didnt mind the fees on a daily basis and I had enough collaterel in the account that they were going to call it in if it dropped any lower which it did at one point for about a week down to about €6200 I think

I'm hoping now for the gap to be filled and maybe jump back in again once it breaks resistance about €9500

Rejected again.

People can say all they want about TA but it's clearly relevant.

Helps predict volatility if nothing else.

Yes, basically TA should be seen as something which works until it doesn’t.

Once you are in a pattern it is likely to work for a while, but of course patterns don’t have to last forever and a change of circumstances can break them unexpectedly.

Like Tether printing a load of magic dollars. There’s no TA models that can predict that, and it’s the strongest input into positive price movement.

Litecoin up 10% in 24 hours.

Will it front run a Bitcoin pump like last time?


I'm strapped in.

$9550 right now, very little resistance above this generally speaking.

Fun times ahead.

Lex Luthor

small cooling off period before the next pump....

I've got a buy order in at €8675 for a trade once it breaks resistance..........came within a few eur last night of triggering it

Once it breaks like you said there is very little above it so it could be a nice trade

JohnnyFlash

I’m going to make a price prediction. Bitcoin is going to dump hard this week. Massive amount of open longs on Bitmex, Binance, and even a few on Bitfinex (!). Time for Arthur and the lads to clear them out.
