-stories from a fellow trader that I thought were very interesting. "My worst gap experiences were with forex and crude oil -- but also grains. During the bombing of Iraq in 1992 (I think it was '92) I went home long Crude. No 24-hour markets back then. U.S. began bombing and the unofficial...

Lol exactly, It's like where were you people when it went from $250 down to $40?! A 50%+ correction isn't BTC's first rodeo :) Investors know the price swing risk but thanks for all your concern. Even something like silver that can't go to 0 has 50% corrections that I'll gladly hold through...

When the MTGOX news hit there were literally 10 haters for every one btc lover on my twitter stream. I haven't seen such an extreme sentiment on one side before. Glad to be the minority.

Dennis, Very important to watch out for SNAKE OIL SALESMAN who try to help you at first and then try to get you to pony up $10k for "education" through email correspondence. Blotto does this.

What exchanges is aurora coin on? I see cryptsy has it as of March 1st so must be bidding it up on cryptsy???

Wow that's messed up, thanks for sharing!

I like the fact that LItecoin has a known creator, Charlie Lee, (also the head of Coinbase.com) He's a cool dude and all about liberty. I see upside potential because you just know that coinbase will be adding litecoin down the road since the creator is head of coinbase.com I also like...

I've gone back n forth with a few pm's with bob and have concluded his desire to trade further is dead so no sense in wasting any more time trying to prove to him it isn't. It is one of the hardest professions , no denying that . Those very few who adapt well and love the game enough will not die.

Very plausible that formal banking institutions, FBI, CIA, US or Japanese gov put a hit on the dude or denied him access to all these private keys. They definitely didn't disappear in thin air! If they try to regulate BTC to death it's going to be hard to put a blanket over all crypto...

"Is trading really worth the time and effort?" That depends on you. I love trading because it is like the largest poker game on earth and an intellectual challenge. Every day is different and the global flow of capital is always awesome to watch. Many are board to tears at the thought of...

If the US pulls a "Cyprus" at some point in the future be sure to remember this convo. If the Gov makes it illegal to hold gold privately again, be sure to remember this convo. In the meantime if you would like to donate more to government and all of their efficient allocation of capital...

I love the fact the majority has a deep hate for BTC right now. I can't wait till shorting is a more widely available option for you folks.

The smart senators would put a DONATE BITCOIN button on their websites :D Do you know how many donations Rand Paul would get if he did this. Letter from Rand Paul supporter on Jan 23 telling him to accept bitcoin donations. https://medium.com/p/932bb6c3ea5

Super shady this morning, Jammed lines no answering, system down for far too long for my taste. Just took half my funds out of Oanda even though I don't have too much there to begin with. (spread out among firms) Once I finally got through they wouldn't even allow me to do a transfer over the...

A few I have gained much knowledge from. Handle123 WRBtrader Cheese

This is new from today. One thing I've thought about is this for worst case scenario....... they can't stop the networking going on, just like torrents. I can still download movies from the internet illegally if I wanted , BUT comcast or whoever my internet provider is can see this and will...

It's funny because there are two groups of hate. the hardcore tech guys who don't understand markets think that the more speculators in btc is bad, when actually that would stabilize price , add liquidity and be good. Then you got the hardcore finance guys who don't understand the tech of...

Your brother is stupid if he had his btc all in one place. Expensive lesson but an effective one. Madoff "made off" with 10-20 billion so don't even go there. MFglobal, PFGbest. Same reason you don't put all your USD in one place. BTC is higher now than when the mainstream media set the...

oh wait price is higher now that gox is gone. lol No bailouts of failed companies in crypto world, it's a good thing called free market capitalism. if you want to talk about failed "regulation" I'm all ears. Madoff made out with 10-20 billion , MFglobal PFGbest. I can go on and on.

BTC-E went down to around 100 a few days ago on that flash crash market sell. But with the gox news I thought it would do that again and I'd get my final fill at 75....not the case, has held up better than I thought. Currently>500 Twitter stream literally filled now with btc hate and I told you...
