I think maintaining a positive sentiment about a clearly positive philosophy helps adoption whatever the case. There's one guy around here involved in crypto-speculation at the sidelines who was one of the most ignorant towards one of my other main preoccupations on the internet, yet I haven't seen him post stupid shít since mountains of data started being published. Maybe JohnnyFlush and his ilk will succumb to reality in the same way? Or maybe they keep screaming "ponzi" while they dream of their properties doubling in value so they can take advantage of the next generation? Who knows?

Of course this guy had invested several million himself in Irish bank shares, but rarely mentioned this. His current hatred of crytpos seems to stem mainly from the fact that he doesn't have major leverage in the area, unlike his babyboomer era investments. Its similar to the likes of Jamie Dimon's disdain for cryptos, he hates what he can't control.

It's reassuring to know that my technical analysis skill and my equations have proven to be correct once again. To those of you who PM'd me to say thank you, you are more than welcome, however I will now only be sharing my prediction privately for a modest fee. A discount applies for members of this forum. To those of you that doubted me, and directed scorn and venom towards me, I forgive you. Hopefully you have learned from your mistake. My long-term outlook still remains very poor. I would not advise buying or holding BTC in the medium to long term.

Remember the Oracle is now offering his musings as a service for a fee. It's a guess. He guessed right. Even a stopped clock can be right a couple of times.

I am the only person here who has been willing to put their cock on the block and stand over my technical analyses. The rest of the so-called experts here have stuck to mealy-mouthed fluff about their belief in the core principles etc. Stopped clock. :rolleyes: A bitter and unbecoming response. I congratulated H0neybadger when he sold his Verge tokens right at the height (mind you, suspiciously he only revealed this after the crash rather than before...). I would have hoped a similar level of camaraderie would have been shown to me after my success.

h0neybadger wrote: » The difference between me and you, is if I’m going to post a prediction, then I would provide info to back up my prediction. However I never posted one. I merely said I sold my verge coins and what price I got for them. You guessed your BTC price prediction (I say guessed, as you provided zero info on your lucky 2 predictions).. It’s hard to take anyone’s word for anything when you say your “technical analysis” lead you to this figure. I guess time will tell. But over the years, many people, popular, not so popular, streamers, youtubers, Redditors and even boards members have made predictions that have all turned out to be pulled straight from their arseholes. But please, prove me wrong. Feel free to send me a PM, I’ll give you my email, my address. Phone number. Come meet me. I’m in Ireland this week. Show me your analysis methods. And I’ll put 10BTC on any coin you can clearly show to have researched to increase, or I’ll sell 10BTC and buy back in once your prediction for a price drop is clear. And I’ll give you 50% of my profits from it. Please, prove me wrong. I would be very happy to see this.

It's a complex mixture of game theory, bayesian analysis, sentiment analysis, machine learning, and a good old-fashioned nose for making money. It's too valuable just to share with some random punter on the internet. I've proven its effectiveness two months in a row.@LoLth Apologies for the advertising, I may contact boards HQ about becoming a verified rep. I've already had a number of queries from people wanting to purchase the next PPL forecast. May need my own Talk To forum at this rate.
