    Thank you for taking the time for this AMA. Where do you see Bitcoin in the future? How will it remain a viable currency?

    [–]winky_pop
    small bull case scenario for Bitcoin is a 400 billion USD dollar market cap, so 40,000 USD a coin, but I believe it could be much larger. When this will happen, if it happens, I don't know, but if it happens, it will probably happen much faster than anyone imagines.

    This guy's previous investments have done better than anyone in this thread. $40k per bitcoin sounds ridiculous, but he has some credibility.
    Definitely true on all accounts.

    However if you hold a significant amount of bitcoins are you going to say bull case scenario is $2k/coin? Or 40k?

    If you hold a penny stock do you tell all your friends it's going to double up? Or it's going to go up 100x?

    Also are these twins not super shady? Or do you believe them and feel bad for them?

    He addresses that right after what I posted before.

    As a heavy investor in Bitcoin you stand to gain handsomely if people believe prices will rise. I ask seriously: what makes your predictions more credible than, say, someone touting penny stocks?
    Not trying to troll here, actually interested in your answer.
    Edit: capitalization.

    [–]winky_pop
    Because I have put my money where my mouth is. I stand to gain as well as lose depending on how the future unfolds.

    That's generally considered to be the opposite of credibility when it comes to recommending investment vehicles.

    [–]winky_pop
    I disagree. If you are negative on Bitcoin you should have a short position, if you are positive, you should have a long position. If you talk about it an don't have a position either way, its just noise. Having skin in the game is called accountability. Bitcoin is way too large for one single person to be able to manipulate it by talking their book.

    Rofl.

    Meanwhile BTC dropped 50 points in the last 4 hours and people are freaking out so hard that they are placing 20 coin sells at 800 when 24 hours ago they were selling for 871.

    Like seriously. Thats how fucked up this market is.

    China just knocked about 4% off the value of BTC in something like 8 minutes.

    Someone is trying to sell $151,000 worth of coins AFTER the market shed 8% in an hour. Amazing.

    Beyond all the technical bullshit, if you accept this is a bubble, I think hope is fading.

    It'll take some work to break $800 support.

    Its pretty fucking amazing to watch trollboxers flip out at 721 about how their net worth just dropped $215,000.. then come back an hour later and BTC price has dropped to 647.

    I think people really thought that India was going to re-inflate BTC after the China purge, and no one bothered to notice that there are like 7 or 8 people in all of India worth more than a few hundred US dollars.

Additionally, Dongyang police are still trying to recover transactions closed before the GBL website, now seems a great possibility of data recoverability, data recovery will be for victims after verify the corresponding loss. "related insider told this reporter that the latest progress of the case.
    October 22, due to optimistic Bitcoin market, Dongyang Qiaomou search online Bitcoin trading platform GBL company and through third-party payment in the recharge 90,000 yuan trading platform for trading bitcoins. October 26, Qiaomou found the staff of the online trading platform is not online, some of the normal transaction procedures can not be implemented, then report to the Dongyang City Public Security Bureau.
    Dongyang City Public Security Bureau immediately begin investigation found that Joe suffered losses far more than one person (the newspaper reported Nov. 14 "Bitcoin trading network GBL 500 people escaped on foot over 20 million yuan or damaged").

Third-party account user can import to GBL provided in Renminbi or to GBL's Bitcoin Bitcoin direct deposit account transactions, both short can do more. Bitcoin downbeat great, if "bet to" 10 times leverage can definitely let users make a small fortune, on the contrary will suffer huge losses.

    I wonder the same, his analysis is pathetic. Bitcoin value year on end is nothing short of phenomenal. Even if it fell to 300, still great.

    I often wonder if Sonatinee realizes how dumb he looks throughout this thread with his constant pessimism, while constantly getting proven wrong by the coin!
