Mate your trolling is plain boring at this point. No educated opinion, just constantly posting links. Yawn.
^ This is why I issued the warning. There are members who wish to engage in "discussion" around a huge variety of topics. Note the emphasis on the word discussion. Endless spamming of threads without input personally from the author detracts from the value of this forum. If anyone doesn't like my moderating decisions then they are free to leave and start their own forum. I quote from the "Terms and Conditions" that all members agreed to when they signed up: As you can see, I don't need to offer any explanation, but I have chosen to in the hope that it encourages members to self-moderate. There are always going to be some unhappy with any decision, that's life. https://www.silverstackers.com/forums/index.php?help/terms

i dont like bitcoin, not because i hate what it stands for but rather because i still see it as tulip fever and as such not for me. having got that out of the way, i dislike government intervention as a principle, what right has a gov to decide what people do with their own money, i have also noticed significant smear campaigns by media and this makes me support bitcoin more. however i also believe in removing warning labels from common household items and letting nature thin the herd, financial Darwinism has its place as well
Yeh we'll have to adopt a wait and see what happens approach. The new Acting Comptroller is keeping his cards close to his chest (he'll have Yellen looking over his shoulder). It looks like the Chief Economist Charles Calomiris has gone, and with the departure of former Acting Comptroller Brooks I'm sure the banking industry is breathing a sigh of relief as it has been highly critical of the direction the OCC was heading under these two as they were publicly supportive of innovations in the financial sector, which basically meant decentralising the sector and making it cheaper for the public. And the legacy financial sector has the support of the NYAG Department which is protecting it's multi-million dollar banking levy racket for starters, as well as bottom dwelling Democrat Senators from other States.
They are really trying to flush out the weak hands at the moment with these seemingly co-ordinated FUD stories. But BTC has been holding above 30K and the weekend is over so that's encouraging
As I explained to you, I won't be entering into any discussions regarding moderating decisions but for the benefit of all here I'll clarify my position. I tried to be transparent and proactive in other threads but this just left me open to personal abuse, so I have made a decision that discussion about moderating is just not going to happen. So let's just put this line of thought to bed and get back on topic.
My avatar is my personal property and as such your libertarian principles allow me to do with it as I wish.
Wrong thread. If you want to discuss your rights on private property then pop over to Julie's thread. But remember, no discussions on moderating decisions.
Weekend has passed, so volatility during light trade is off the cards for a few days. I'd suggest the range 30K-40K is the key zone to watch this week. If we crack 40K this week convincingly then I think this selloff will be all but forgotten in a month or 2. Drop through 30K and we'll have another panic run of the stops. Highest probability in my view is to be range bound in the short term as it consolidates and after bouncing off 40K a couple times we're more likely to bust through to resume bull trend in a week or 3.
Anyone want to discuss the recent article in Bloomberg about Tether. Says could wreck havoc on the crypto market. I think it could... https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/a...s-like-tether-should-face-regulators-scrutiny
