You need some skin in the game. Buy high and sell low, then you got your widdle feelers aligned with mainstream propaganda.

meanwhile in the real world

SEC chief warns investors about bitcoin losses overseas

US investors who lose money because overseas cryptocurrency exchanges are hacked are unlikely to recover those losses, says Jay Clayton, chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission. "When you engage in investing online with an offshore entity, the chances that we can do anything practical to get your money back are very, very low," Clayton says.

ECB's Mersch warns of cryptocurrency contagion risk

A bubble in cryptocurrencies could put financial systems at risk because of contagion, says Yves Mersch, a senior official at the European Central Bank. "Resolute ring-fencing measures might be needed" to protect core operations from risks posed by virtual currencies, Mersch says.

Some Ruskies from the Buttfly school of ICT...

Russian security officers have arrested several scientists working at a top-secret Russian nuclear warhead facility for allegedly mining crypto-currencies.
The suspects had tried to use one of Russia's most powerful supercomputers to mine Bitcoins, media reports say.
The Federal Nuclear Centre in Sarov, western Russia, is a restricted area.
The centre's press service said: "There has been an unsanctioned attempt to use computer facilities for private purposes including so-called mining."

The supercomputer was not supposed to be connected to the internet - to prevent intrusion - and once the scientists attempted to do so, the nuclear centre's security department was alerted. They were handed over to the Federal Security Service (FSB), the Russian news service Mash says.

My voices are teasing me because I know you wouldn't fib, but you claim to have raked it in with shorts over a brief dip last month, yet not a single wealth report during an extended slaughter lasting two weeks? Please don't explain, not so early.

The SEC didn't do much to recover investor losses after onshore hacking/theft losses either, unless you consider minor collaboration with several gov agencies resulting in payment of (loss time) 2014 btc prices in 2017 to be a good result.

Shall I start listing other 'trivial events' where the SEC stood by dumbfounded and impotent to apathetic as millions to billions were stolen from its jurisdiction, or shall we take that as a given?

THE SEC can't warn investors about brokers with proven histories of ripping off clients but has no problem pointing fingers at what's out of his jurisdiction.....who's he working for anyway

Hey dragon, what compo did the SEC or for that matter any gov/regulatory group/agency give to investors when bwanks knowingly and wilfully sold them investments while shorting them?

Don't kid yourself, dragon is right up there with the crypto moguls, but his wealth doesn't count for the forbes list because it was acquired through spectacular daily and hourly shorts.

I take it that you don't follow all the news on that topic

god, you really are that ignorant

do you see patterns in little things that give you secret messages, like buying more Bitcoins

among the good news, another Exchange was hacked with 175m in Litecoins

17 million NANO gone from bitgrail, probably another inside job.

If you keep your coins online longer than necessary for transactions, don't whine if they vanish. Oddball coins are unlikely to be targeted, but taking them offline can be a hassle on several different wallets.

Every time the market tries to rise...

yep, the technicals don't look good for btc (including lack of volume on the rallies).

so, the downward target is now 3-4 k, apparently.

Yepper it could drop, if it does I'm in for more.

The technicals of BTC are strong, it's much more secure than ETH, or junk BCH.

Clif High's prediction is for BTC to breakout near the end of the month, and go wild in March/April. He's makes some good predictions.

Poor ole soul, am still looking at 40k or > this year.

High believes that Bitcoin will hit $64,000 as early as April, and adds that it will go even higher. Although it would be expected that it would see a 30% drop after the initial high, this will still bring that value of the coin to the mid $40,000’s. He even goes as far to say that we might see it reach in the region of $100,000 this year.

not sure who he thinks this massive amount of buyers rushing into buy btc will be.

and, they'll all have the same optimistic thinking about btc as you, earl?
