another assumption....not to get personal, but do you notice the trend ? good luck with it.

What ever you need to do to rationalize it.

and the seller was ???? it is not BOUGHT with volume, it is traded with volume. a 2 sided transaction.

yes.."focused on cc". And again...you know they are buying the dip in the cash market how ? I won't even belabor the point that most hedged funds need to use huge leverage to make their business model work. They maybe planning to participate in the futures market starting this Sunday, I...

"hedgefunds are buying...." can you post your source of this opinion ?

To add balance to a portfolio you add uncorrelated assets. No one knows how BTC interacts with any other asset class as of now. He is adding a speculative asset, which is fine, but do not read anything more into it.. example if spx drops 25 % will BTC ? it is not known yet.

@sle ...since this thread has run its course and you are here. I'll highjack and ask you a question if you do not mind. I swing trade usually using long ATM options as a vehicle. Concerning losses and getting out, if I am wrong would I be better if my original position was in a 60 delta ie...

Those four professions are not what I would call the "smart money". Actually the very type that I would expect to invest in a spec investment with no risk controls. Smart money defines and quantifies risk before committing capital.

@johnarb .."when no one was using bitcoin"....is anyone USING bitcoin now as a currency ? or just using it as a speculative vehicle, it is a BIG difference.

@Hoi.. Hey, don't be so rude. I was commenting on all the previous posts leading up to and including yours. The general context being there are a lot of uneducated buyers in this rally. side note: love all the "tough guys with the tough talk" and snarky come backs on the internet.

@Hoi ....wait..so you are of the belief that those kids at the birthday party are educated in the pros and cons of BTC ? the millenniums at 1am in the bar buying on their iphone ? the masses of s. Korean's ?

also...this is a 3X leveraged position. While theoretically that should have nothing to do with the option pricing, I've found that the options on these these mult-leveraged etfs do some funky things on a weekly close.

"It would run into the same scaling issues bitcoin has. I see all this talk about blockchain solving everything and have yet to see one tangible product or service to come out of it that works. There are deep issues with scaling that the majority buying in don't even understand". ...actually...

Oh, definately. The motto of the web site is "we build block chain". By balanced narrative I was referring to his concession that it is not going to be the death of everything that is status quo that some proponents do.

@Daal I thought that was a very balenced narrative. I like his honesty as to the fact that it is way to early to determine if such, and to what extent decentralised applications are truely in demand by society in the future.

I use a ATM net log option model for swing trading. But, I usually enter near close and hold overnight. As far as I've observed, an intraday system with even the most liquid options would be tough to gain a positive expectancy (I'm talking from the perspective of a RETAIL trader). But I would...

Got it. I thought it referred to working an order ie :buying on bid

"....wives cancer treatment". This is what Taleb found issue with, that life is more random than the Millionaire author believes. 2 different philosophies.

This will happen in 2020, when Trump decides to go back to the private sector. After 4 yrs of chasing Trump in a circle the Dems will realize that their party still hasn't figured out what happened in '16 , and will be dusting off Joe B or showing Elizabeth W where the Mason-Dixon Line is. The...

Couldn't help myself. I just figured out where the Trump haters on this thread get their talking points.....The Morning Joe on MSNBC ! Tune in tomorrow boys, get your talking points. LOL
