Re: Evidence of Major Market Manipulation on Kraken Exchange Following ETF Announcem
by
Phenoca

It's happened three times now on Kraken that the price will be stable in a $50 range for 2 hours and as soon as I fill an order then within 1 minute the price jumps $400 in the opposite direction. I've also tried layering my orders with stop losses and re-entries in three to four stacks. When I do this, the price on Kraken sometimes jumps instantly by $80 up to just below my final re-entry. This could be coincidence, but when there is zero price action on other major exchanges it becomes a ~2% probability of coincidence. And lastly, the reason I am sad is that whenever your margin trading equity for leveraged positions falls below 80% Kraken can liquidate you, and if it falls below 40% then they automatically liquidate you for up to 80% of your open positions. I think there is a conflict of interest because I have noticed that most of the time I get liquidated it is at the top or bottom of price action. This could be due to bots using margin analysis after the fact, but the liquidation level jumps every time the market changes from bearish to bullish. It's been twice that I've had a position drop to 50% equity refilled the equity only for it to liquidate at 60% or 80% equity, and when I do get liquidated, I get liquidated to 125% or 178% equity, despite customer support stating they only liquidate to get you to 100% equity. And when I say a $400 price change in 1 minute, I mean violent price action within 1 minute of my entry, taking place over several minutes with no scalping.

You can't make money trading just one single pair. Someone with dozens of millions' networth asked why Kraken has so many market makers, defining market makers as "market manipulators". It is because the bots can see all of your hidden orders before they get placed on the order books, and when Kraken wants to take profits they liquidate everyone's positions by up to 80% of their entry in order to bring them up to 100% equity (a.k.a. 178% equity)!

That said, it's my fault for underestimating the capabilities of hedge funds and bots... I should've hedged against euro or something. Just a bit bitter that I've lost my life savings, but perhaps my experiences can illuminate some traders. There's a miniscule chance that everything that's happened to me is coincidental. I'll let you calculate the odds.

Not having to round to the nearest satoshi gives altcoin/usdt trading pairs more liquidity than altcoin/xbt trading pairs, which means more competition.

Everyone who said population planning gets my approval. Less subsidies for having children means less people having children. Radical, yet practical, and objectively moral because it sets precedent for people to reproduce sustainably.

Re: What do you think will be the most important industry in the near future?
by
Phenoca
on 23/09/2018, 23:01:11 UTC
I think it's agriculture.
Global warming is affecting all parts of the world today.
Biotechnology and bioengineering.
Your answers are better than mine.

Global warming is a bit of a myth, as the evidence seems to support the fact that we are entering into a new ice age. These are part of the natural cycles of the solar system, and this will cause some major problems and redistribution of wealth.
On a 10,000 year scale yes. But humans broke out of that natural cycle through deforestation, industry, agriculture and greenhouse gas sources like transportation. Now that we've passed 400ppm CO2 I find it more relevant to step inside a greenhouse or take a look at Venus. As the sunlight absorption increases, temperatures rise, relative humidity increases, and the air gets more humid. This is bad because water vapor is a greenhouse gas that absorbs sunlight (i.e. clouds make the planet heat up). Ice core data in the last century shows record high greenhouse gas levels, and we've destroyed most of the forests and ocean flora that has historically absorbed excess carbon. But yes, if humans went extinct tomorrow and the Sahara desert disappeared overnight then we would probably enter an ice age. But if you include the last century of data then deserts will continue expanding and temperatures will continue rising. I would like it if consumers and governments shifted agriculture from fertilizers & pesticides that take carbon out of the ground, to fertilizers & pesticides that take carbon out of the air.

For me the most stressful part of exchange trading is the psychological stress from checking hourly for price action and having to wait a long time because you don't know when the next high or low will be. It's also extremely frustrating to call the highs but not have orders filled, so if you are gonna be placing large orders on altcoins then I suggest choosing a high volume exchange where you can get a lot of liquidity, or better yet: multiple exchanges for maximum market depth. I invested into doge because I was afraid of bitcoin breaking sub-6k, but I think that until doge gets its ETH bridge, it will stay a pump-and-dump market with bearish action after each dramatic price surge. Every time I note a trend or pattern or indicator, it vanishes within days. What annoys me the most is how some days doge follows bitcoin 1:1 and other days it completely ignores bitcoin fluctuations. I hypothesize that doge dumps are a reverse-indicator for bitcoin pumps, and that panic in the bitcoin market is a positive-indicator for doge pumps.

Re: Aug 23 ETF Deadline...

Pieces of paper are what distinguish between legal and illegal, private property and public resources, signed contracts and empty promises.

Fractional reserve banking is the economic power base of many federal governments. Governments cannot afford a consumer-exodus away from fiat. This is why gold-backed currencies are swiftly and violently eradicated. Yet bitcoin is too decentralized to be destroyed with brute force. ETFs and licensed exchanges give government oversight over investors. They can allow law enforcement to freeze criminal assets, and auditors to track finances. There is more transparency, flexibility, and accountability than a trustee-held wallet. I believe that big banks want to corner the market and destabilize the price of bitcoin, in order to prevent a breakthrough from destabilizing the economy. Everyone is worried about inflation, and bankers know that hyperinflation can destroy a country. If banks cannot corner a market then they need to diversify their assets to protect the purchasing power of the fiat they issue. Owning bitcoin mitigates the risk of a bitcoin breakthrough, and at the same time allows bitcoin to be incorporated into the fractional reserve system as collateral, allowing governments and banks to maintain their leverage over the national economy. Hedge funds have more buying power than independent investors. A group of banks can 'issue' out much more fiat than they actually own, so their buying power is very, very high. In the short-term, this is good. In the long-term, it may lead to stifling regulation and increased volatility, because banks want a monopoly on merchant-transactions.

Edit: I believe some ETFs were already approved since February? Nasdaq NextGen Economy (BLCN) by Reality Shares, Transformational Data Sharing (BLOK) by Amplify, First Trust (LEGR), and for Canada there’s Harvest Portfolios (HBLK) and Evolve Funds Inc. (LINK). Who were they approved by?

Re: Americans own less stuff because of the Internet. Is that a worry?

It would be nice if that were the case. If you're talking about fiction, news and recreation then the market is controlled by the consumers.  There will always be pirating, and backlash against digital rights management - torrenting sites and PS4 vs Xbox One come to mind, when the latter cancelled their digital rights management in response to consumer-backlash, making their games easier to pirate or resell. Steam incentivizes buyers with sales, achievements, and the ability to download to any computer. I think if a company is focused on making their game pirate-proof then it means they don't trust their users to support their product  Cheesy

But it would be nice if consolidating entertainment and media on the internet led to less consumerism, since buying excessive manufactured goods has led to mass extinction and runaway climate change  Undecided I think the services that sell best indicate where the demand is. Bookstores can only shelve so many books. Without the internet we wouldn't have the quick growth of new sub-genres in literature, and it would be much harder for indie producers to reach their target audience. Internet streaming services gives consumers a much greater level of control over what they watch. It is nice to see what other fans of the same light novel have réad.

I'll ask a question. Do you agree with Gary Kildall or with Bill Gates, and which strategy is most successful in entertainment and media? Does the industry leader support to product creators (OS supporting app makers), or does the industry leader monopolize everything (cable news & pop music)? I think whichever method you choose, you have to please the consumers.

If you don't think there'll be a bull run then pick a comfort price and buy/sell proportionally² to how far it rises/falls above/below your comfort price. I put my eggs in more than one basket.

Re: Market is Now GREEN, any underlying factor?

So as soon as the bears are refueled it's a bull market? If you are a speculator then now is an unsafe time to buy because the same people who sold in May & June will sell in August. The one-time volume spike associated with this recent rise seems unstable, compared to gradual trends. I'd be emotionally overwhelmed if we even got near $10k this month. I wish whales were more predictable. @renggileh Do you mean crypto news sites or cable networks?

It's just price speculation is nothing more than. what will happen the reality. I do not really believe in such media let alone make prediction. I'm hold my assets in my hardwallets.  I don't want to regret, just have more patience bitcoin will moon again.
Agreed. Trends are more significant than spikes. I also believe in bitcoin as a long-term investment, but not due to tiny rebounds in a bear market.

Long term holder here. I only dump when the price goes above my comfort zone. Then when the price drops I buy. I assume most investors also have target prices for buying back in.
