Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion
Where's my Black Friday discount on BTC? This small 2% discount off ATH just isn't going to cut it. In fact, yesterday's dip wasn't even that big of a deal. I want a deep discount. Jimbo wants one too. I am sure. 
Maybe if I want a doorbuster, I'm going to have to go to Wal-Mart.

I doubt that "Jimbo wants one too."
There is a kind of mentality of wanting or hoping for dips, or just preparing for dips. Those are two different concepts. If a dip comes, make lemonade out of the lemons. You don't hope or want lemons, you merely take advantage of the lemons situation comes, which is nearly inevitable that lemons are going to come, from time to time.
I was being facetious. Hence the immediate comment about Wal-mart and the link to the video.
I absolutely hate Bitfinex and believe the "FUD" about spoofy and Tether.
However, Bitcoin does not need Bitfinex for it's own viability. There are plenty of other exchanges. I don't know why some of these twitter OG are coming to the defense of Bitfinex. I think the BTC economy will be a whole lot better without them. I don't even mind that they kicked us US customers to the curb. Bitfinex FUD is FUD, as you seem to admit, and even though the crash Bitfinex would not kill bitcoin, I don't know why anyone would hope for such a crash.
Sure, Bitfinex had several opportunities already to employ an exchange exit scam - and seems quite improbable that they are going to employ such, when it is not really necessary, in spite of the mucho bullshit FUD being spread about them.
Regarding, kicking out USA customers, I have mixed feelings about it, since I was personally affected and kicked out of their exchange - but I cannot really blame them for their exercising business discretion or to credit them with any kind of bad or malicious motive because of such business decision.
I'm surprised after what happened in the summer of 2016 that more were not simply turned off, and took their business elsewhere. If Bitfinex was truly the victim in the hack, then it demonstrated a gross incompetence. I'm not sure why anyone would take the counterparty risk of keeping any funds at all on Bitfinex. FUD is definitely the appropriate term since when dealing with Bitfinex. One should have fear, uncertainty and doubt when dealing with them.
Furthermore, I am not hoping Bitfinex pulls an "exit scam." I much prefer they lose business and become irrelevant.
