Bitcoin pounded again

I really don't see losing 2% of my total net worth as being "wiped out" but thanks for your concern.

Haters gunna hate.

Same MM method applies to long option bets. No point using stops on something with such a high spread and low volume, so you position size as if able to absorb a total loss of premium if the trade does not work out. But if it does..... 3-10x return :eek:
 
Huh? If 2% of his portfolio is in BTC then he can lose 2%. wtf is wrong with you?

I thought he was talking generally.

The problem with risking too little is, that the pay off is also going to be little, since the initial gazillion % return phase is over....
 
BTC is an illiquid market, dumb to short or go long with stops in that case but be my guest.

It wasn't me talking about stops, but anyway, if your exchange is illiquid, just switch to one with better volume. Unless of course if you are a billionaire, than I understand your concern...

This haters gonna hate BS is really cultist. Why would I hate bitcoin? It has provided me with entertainment and still the best soap opera right now on the interwebs. Just because some of us are realistic about a beta phased social experience what still has a bunch of problems, that doesn't mean we hate you..... :)

The only unlimited risk is those shorting it, and that's not a practical concern as you're limited by going debit in the account. Forget it's BTC.... treat the $560 as a stock with a stat-vol of 150% annualized. This is not a difficult concept to grasp.
 
I follow tons of traders on twitter, most still don't understand it. Most are saying, "see we told you so" and then quote the gox $100 dollar price which is meaningless. Once these dudes finally understand it, I expect a lot more upside.

Then again, I could very well be the one who "comes to understanding" that the NSA is doing an experiment. That's what makes a market.

But then why not just go into litecoin instead , Charlie Lee (the known creator of litecoin) is a champion for liberty which I love.
