Bitcoincoupling

Bitcoin and collateral damageThis market will not survive in it's current state of mass coupling with Bitcoin. When Bitcoin falls, everything falls. This needs to change. Something seems... WRONG about this. If current analysis holds true, and Bitcoin drops 50%; it will be the litmus test and that should not be. We have at our discretion MANY alt-coins that have far more merit , use cases , and speed than Bitcoin. Cut off the head and let the market grow. We need decoupling. Bitcoin should not be REQUIRED in order to access alt's. Bitcoin is dying a slow, painful death. Do you want crypto as a whole to follow? Following that would be globalized, digital fractional reserve based currency - the equivalent of current wire transfer fee's in a digital form, and digital bail out's. I don't know how to change this, except perhaps as one does when they are unhappy with other services; call, write and pester your exchange into serving you fairly. Fortis fortuna adiuvat.

Darth Vader finds your lack of faith disturbingI'm ashamed. Embarrassed. I don't want to tell people I dabbled in crypto. The main reason is the weakness and lack of faith within the crypto community itself. It hamstrings itself at every opportunity; shorts constantly, can't sustain bullish activity for more than 5 contiguous minutes. What are you doing?? Collecting 1% and day trading. Recent studies show that the amount of crypto press multiplies in times of negative activity , and despite claims of market manipulation, the far greater threat are your weak , trembling hands that hit the sell button every time you see green. Pathetic. If crypto fails it is because it failed s a cooperative community. The worlds premier financial services disavowed. Of course this is a threat to government , and they may play a role , but it is small; crypto is still of and by the people involved. Failure to maintain BTC above 4k when an ASIAN session set it up to get there is also pathetic. They (those involved in mining) have had to sell machines for scrap but have more confidence in an overall positive outcome than the trembling westerner. Your kids still want crypto for Christmas. Kids tend to be pretty smart , being not far removed from education, at this point taught coding in school, and may have greater insight than the fools destroying the concept of something anti-globalization. What is especially galling is that the weakest hands are the ones otherwise subject to a fractional reserve banking system in countries like the U.S. for example, that are trillions of dollars in debt. There is a day coming worse than '08. And when it does the government will bail out banks again , because the banks are so greedy they lend out money that doesn't rightly belong to them , and when the machine breaks the Federal reserve PRINTS MONEY. WAKE UP AND DO SOmETHING!!!!! RAISE THE BAR FOR ONCE. No, 2017 is unlikely to repeat in that it will not be a parabolic rise in just a few months, but rather a slower yet permanent rise if you would simply allow it to happen. By you I mean EVERYONE involved in finances at all who can see their reflection in the mirror. If this was a team , you went undefeated in '17 only to lose every game in '18. I'm the guy yelling in the locker room , because I cannot and do not understand such behavior and do not want to. This IS a community , and while everyone wants to make money , it is painfully obvious that the self inflicted wounds just keep on coming. YOU just failed to break a 4k barrier for BTC - forget metrics that is ALL psychology , and it happened because you short sold and ran. Enjoy your short term capital gains tax. Finally, why in the f%$% does every other major coin have to be directed by Bitcoin? Are people just too stupid to understand the differences in fundamentals and use cases?? One ring to rule them all, and it's that one?? Equally pathetic. Tax headlines scare you off?? You suck. Bad press? You suck. Do some research . The bad press is a ploy by big money to get YOU to sell, you , the guy who gets hurt , so that the absurdly wealthy can buy in cheaper. Fortis Fortuna Adiuvat. ** I am not a financial advisor and the above should be construed as a rant.**
