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. Angry

Maybe if I want a doorbuster, I'm going to have to go to Wal-Mart. Cry

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'm disappointed too. difficulty change is getting closer, all this new bitfinex/tether and flippening FUD. It looked like something was brewing. even the mempool looks ok.

I absolutely hate Bitfinex and believe the "FUD" about spoofy and Tether. Grin

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.

BFX lost a shitload of coins. I had no coins in my account. they stole %36 anyway to compensate the account holders who did have coins. So not only did they fail to safeguard the coins, but then they socialized the losses. this was years ago, but they NEVER PAID ME BACK. they are not a legitimate exchange. I am baffled that anyone can still take them seriously or do business with them.

Yes... August 2015 they were "hacked" and September 2015-ish they issued BFX coins for 36% of the dollar value of your then account, and by around April 1, 2016, they had paid back all of their BFX tokens at 100%. Sure there were some problems with that whole set-up, but they paid back everyone who held their BFX tokens at 100% of face value over the next 7 months or so.
