Re: Bithumb hacked: price went up = good sign?

YES

But seriously there's just no way Bitcoin can drop. Some say this is like a triple bottom. But anyone who knows about blockchain knows that it's here to stay. Maybe one day Bitcoin will become dead, but it HAS to be replaced.
If there is no replacement on the horizon, you can bet your socks that Bitcoin can only go up... Barring any more market manipulation and any other panic selling

On that note, I would bet that the whales pumped and dumped all they could during the rise and fall from 20K. And the recent hacks being inconsequential as you say, have emptied the pockets of all the spineless panicked people.

Only the real folk are left

It's like the norm for the current ecosystem nowadays. Exchanges will be hacked every now and then and then there will be quite an effect in the market for a little while and then it will just shrug it off. Bithumb is the largest South Korean exchanges IIRC and also one of the exchanges to hit $20k during the bull run, so it's a shame still that they got 'hacked' despite being known for their intelligence regarding cybersec and datasec (SoKor in general). Surprisingly though, not much fuzz was made about the hack this time, and it looks like a typical Wednesday for traders since there seems to be not much effect on the markets for now.
Is is really the biggest exchange? Damn! I think this means that Bitcoin is actually in very stable condition. But really they should have seen this coming; not even 10 days since the last hack

I didn't know a great deal about S Korea until it became crypto hot.

The more I learn, the more of an incompetent fuckhole it seems. The exchanges are bent, leaky and run by children. The government is too dim to regulate or tax them or notice this monster appear out of nowhere like Battlestar Galactica.

How do they manage to get the trains running on time?
LMFAO this explains everything? But seriously how were they hacked; they got cutting edge technology and everything (I was about to buy Samsung SSD)

Maybe yeah though, perhaps someone just walked into the server room, cntrl a cntrl c ctrnl v gg ez wp no re

that would require the traders to be sitting behind their computers and refreshing all the news websites continuously and as soon as an article is published take action based on it!S
Or maybe when the bitcoin hack happened all the South Koreans noticed their coins were having problems so they told everyone and other people got scared and there was a panic sell...
And when the Mobile Cash app got approved for Bitcoin trading everyone who
It's simply how society's work. Stop and actually think about what bitcoin news events actually mean with respect to human behavior...

Now that I think about it this is HUGE
An Android and iPhone Bitcoin trading app approved by Wall Street! 7 million users that already use it to send cash to each other!!!!

A 2-3% change cannot be linked to any kind of news.
It's simple logic. If I am wrong and you are right, then find any news events regarding btcoin in the last 9 days that DIDN'T affect bitcoin. Three significant events happened. Find me equally significant events that were completely inconsequential. If you can, then you will have a logically valid and sound argument

Until then, what you are saying is simply INVALID in the face of facts that validate what you are attempting to oppose

these types of change don't really have to have any reasons they are just market fluctuations. you blink and 2% change happens, that is just how the market is.

This is simply wrong. Look at the market for yourself. I am talking about SUDDEN jumps. And in the past 8 days, there have only been 3 sudden jumps. Two drops and one surge. And each jump had a specific news event tied to it. Sure it increases and decreases around 3% over an hour or so, but it simply NEVER jumps more than 1.5% within 20 minutes without a specific event. That's just not how any market works. Of course that event could be a whale or group of people dumping/pumping all at once creating a bear/bull run, but nevertheless sudden movements are always triggered by a singular event

I was flabbergasted to see it rise 4% in 20 minutes, but lo and behold within hours there were news articles announcing the approval of the cash app, explaining the surge. I don't ever expect any event and assume it's due to general volatility, but three strikes and you're out. Only the willfully ignorant would ignore such indicators.

Re: Speculative and Historical Milestones: BTC Updates

I made a thread detailing the three sudden price changes in the past week. The two Korean hacks and the New York approval of a Cash app to trade bitcoin. These had DIRECT effects on the price, and you didn't even mention them!

What you did list, didn't seem to have much of an effect on the price... Although I do like the future events. The more things to look out for the better. And yes I understand that these events may be subtle in nature but an analysis of the past events to explain the indicators of any nuanced changes would be helpful. Otherwise it just doesn't do it justice; I mean until then, the naysayers will say that those past events had zero effect! Can you prove otherwise?

He changed my password (or maybe I just forgot it) but he didn't reset my email! I was able to reset my password with E-mail no problem! I just find it so weird ..

It happens a lot, for financial gains. It can be caused by a weak password after the 2015-hack, phishing sites, or probably other means too.
Just delete everything, and welcome back!

Oh there was another 2015 hack hmmm. Who knows...
It's quite the unorthodox way to make financial gain... using another account when you can make your own... was the financial gain for that bidium ICO?  lmao such weirdoes

I think I'll keep the messages up for possible psychological analysis  Grin I have edited my signature to make it evident. I would bother putting in a signature anyways so I guess this will be it for a while... Maybe I'll individually edit all those posts if I do change my signature again hahaha

Oh and thank you. Good to be back. Sold 8 bitcoins for 12 each and ate some pizza  a long time ago Cheesy
But I was never really trying to make money. Now that I happen to have some money to mess around with, it's about the principal and ideals of having sovereign control over my assets  Tongue

South Korean exchange hacks causing Bitcoin price drops, but less consequential.

Second South Korean exchange hacked (Bithumb) causing the latest sudden Bitcoin price drop of less than 2% today, June 19.
Not as bad as the last big sudden price drop, which was also due to a hack on another South Korean exchange (Coinrail); by June 11 the price dropped more than 6%
Mean while yesterday on June 18 the price shot up around 3% due to an app (Cash by Square) getting approval for a "BitLicense" issued by the New York State Department of Financial Services

Seems that people are less likely to panic sell as news of hacks emerge. Anyone who really knows how these things work know that bitcoin doesn't really have security flaws and that it's always the incompetence of users and by extension the exchanges that are prone to vulnerabilities.

It's interesting to note that the Cash app has 7 million users and Square (SQ) has been traded on the New York stock exchange since November of 2015; while the Korean exchanges seem to be limited in users in comparison to Square's Cash app which actually has been selling bitcoin since last November.

So the ONLY reason for any sudden price drops (outside of massive market manipulation as was the case to the rise and drop from the 20K price) is due to sudden bad news about bitcoin, usually regarding exchanges being hacked...

Yet any good news regarding bitcoin is a reason for sudden price surges. There's a lot of good news to come, but no bad news? What do you guys think?

I would think the good news would cause much bigger price surges but maybe the main effect is subtle and long term, assuming people do care.... Or maybe Koreans are paranoid and Americans are inattentive and careless... On the other hand if they were so paranoid they shouldn't be using such unregulated exchanges anyways...

Just remember that last week has been the lowest Bitcoin has gotten in recent times. I recommend buying and holding! It can only go up. However never invest anything that you aren't willing to lose... Bitcoin may not be forever, but cryptocurrency certainly will be.

this doesn't seem normal to me. what is the purpose of these hacks?

I got an email in 2011 that the hashes were hacked but that it would take a long time to crack passwords... maybe it was cracked and my password sold? what do you guys think?

very surreal... Every post after January 10 2017 is NOT ME

Can they be deleted or edited or something?

Also I didn't make this signature. Will remove it but for now let's all laugh at this weirdo. an actual fu*%ing ICO?? LMFAO (am I allowed to swear) these ICO things have gotten WAY out of hand. Should blacklist and ban anyone that mentions... "bidium" (edit: am changing my signature now)
Or why would it be advertise on a hacked illegitimate account?

But wait... this website nasdaq.com is advertising it LOL

the internet is full of crooks... watch out

OH and btw I only logged in to ask if there is any way to list threads by creation date... would be a nice way to view the speculation board
