    Bitcoin thread anyone?

    Ok, i cancelled the $100 localbitcoins transactions after two hours after messaging the seller and no reply. It turns out Armory version 0.88.1-beta was a memory hog that could not work within a 4 GB RAM space like mine. it took about two days to download the blockchain! And could never...

    Bitcoin thread anyone?

    My research suggests 50% is doable given good work habits, yes. I had committed to figuring that out, but in the meantime had neglected to store the value of my fiat in BTC much to my regret. Edit: One way to look at it is the higher the monthly expectation, the longer/steeper the learning...

    Bitcoin thread anyone?

    Then i would be tempted to buy-and-hold BTC longer-term because of my bullish view, and the likelihood buy-and-hold would be easier. I understand there are some fairly reliable options methods that could deliver 25%. Is that what you are suggesting? Btw, i'm trying to transact $100...

    Bitcoin thread anyone?

    Thanks very much for the general advice. I could have caught a big fish and it got away. It's a horrible feeling. If anyone wants to help me feel better, please remind me there are ways of making avg 50% per month high probability catching a lot of little fish. I guess i just have to...

    Bitcoin thread anyone?

    Recently i downloaded the Armory wallet and the blockchain. That took more than a day, amazing. Now it's chewing on "Scanning Transaction History" but taking it's sweet time. Never seems to get past 86%. Will i be able to complete any transactions while this is going on? Btw, i've been...

    Building an Automated Database

    It looks to me like this open source software project deals with data collection into Excel sheets. The source of data can be TWS or Yahoo Finance. I'm guessing you can get tick data from TWS but only one minute data from Yahoo, but don't quote me on that! Maybe this would be a way to not...

    Get Rid Of All FOREX Threads Now

    Actually, hypostomus was here long before there were any areas of the forum dedicated to forex. So my research proves you wrong. And now i'm beginning to think you are another of hypostomus' many aliases, most of which have been trolling since before this forum started to give any attention to...

    What do you believe? Please layout, here, for all of us to see, what is your mental framework...what paradigms are you working within. After that, let us decide if it represents another rant or not.

    That depends on who/what you think "you" are. There are no limitations but what you place upon self.

    Marc Faber: A revolution is coming soon.

    The .pdf attached is a book that was first published in 1899 (that's not a typo) which explains the design/intent of an ever expanding national debt. Called, "The Coming Battle", recently reprinted.

    Mind detox

    On topic: I would estimate that most of psychological advice for people is about how to get along while holding contradictions in one's mind. This requires a set of mantras like the advice that initiates this thread. A set of mantras that help hold contradictions in mind, is, imo, not a way...

    What!%$# Well i told him about averaging in. Last i heard he was going all in. Well, all in with liquid cash, which would be about 40% of total capital. There's a (slim?) chance he is not actually in. Are you guys pretty sure it's time to stay out or sell? Are you anticipating a fiscal...

    Yes, there's something to be said for uniformity. It's probably why the Amish try to establish uniformity. They may see it as reducing problems. But they, like the advice initially given in this thread, are trying to play both sides. To be human, to be a person, to be an angel, pretty much...

    #16 is self-evidently full of contradictions. Unique = special. No need to go farther and build a house of cards on top of it (the contradiction that unique is not = special). Make up your mind. Play it (unique) up, or play it down. There is really no balance to be found...no neutral...

    Jack Hershey LIVE CALLS on Paltalk

    I'll fill you in on reason #3. It's because Jack Hershey is an alias of hypostomus, who can b.s., but can't really trade.

    TRADING IS SIMPLE ... (TheRumpledOne)

    I think i covered this already in a thread called Forex: Where does the liquidity come from...or something like that. I really don't believe that small traders are providing liquidity for each other. On the other hand, it's not as if Morgan Stanley is taking the other side of my trade either...

    Jack Hershey students - are you profitable day-traders?

    Jack can't make public calls for the same reason hypostomus can't make public calls. Jack's writing style has changed because hypostomus is getting old, and can't keep his multitude of aliases straight anymore.

    I Have Done It Again

    Congratulations. Whose advice did you eventually subscribe to? I liked what dandxg said. Are you working with a risk management partner? What markets have you been using? Imo, the issue, for everybody, is self-sabatoge. It affects us all in one way or another. We punish ourselves. If it...
