the last time I listened to MatTheCat's TA, i sold half my btc holdings and the price went up $100 about 30 mins later. After it went up, he essentially said "oops, nevermind."

Thanks Mat, keep up the good work.

I guess Matt should of put a disclaimer at the bottom of his post Grin

Except checkers6676 is lying.

It is an easy thing to do, observe:

"LOL The last time I listened to BitcoinsLOL's TA, I sold my house and my sport's car for a handful of magic beans, LOL. He said that these magic beans would grow into a giant stalk with golden leaves, but so far, I have just had a few sproutlings that have shriveled up and died already LOL!"

I have never ever been so blatantly on the wrong side of a trade as checkers6676 is trying to suggest since I have started trading Bitcoins and if I listened to my own advice I would have done much better than I have done (I am prone to being very impulsive, nearly always with regretable outcomes). My worst recent call was here:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=494722.0

I speculated that break out and confirmation above $580 could occur and would be very bullish, but I thought a retest of lows was a much more likely scenario and that is where I placed my bets. I had buy-ins in low $500s and higher $400's, and was also shorting Bitcoin at $574. Turns out my short got margin called at $585 and I lost quite a bit on that trade cos it was leveraged. I did however make decent profits on the bull run up to $710, which was caused essentially by just one massive buyer in the market place, placing 3K Bids right at spot price, causing an avalanche of panic buying.

So any talk of checkers6676 of me saying the market is going down only for it to rise $100 just 30 minutes later is complete fucking bullshit. If he really did (he obviously didn't) make such a trade, then he needs both to learn to read comments properly and also to take some TA 101 classes.

what reasons are they giving for the delay? - I took back a five figure number, albeit with a 1 in front back in December/January and had no issues, either with them or my UK. I used international transfer not SEPA because the USD/GBP rate at Unicredit Slovakia (Bitstamp's Bank) was a lot better than the EUR/GBP rate I get off the rip of merchant I have to use for banking services in the UK/

The transaction has now been processed although it has not yet landed in my German bank account. I gave them absolutely none of the information that they asked for as per their KYC routine, except a mouthful of abuse, yet my transaction is processed all the same. Makes you wonder why they ask for all that shit to begin with? They are just making their customer base nervous and harming themselves.
