Looks like we could be seeing another good dip beginning to happen!

The Big Train · « **Reply #1851 on:** July 28, 2017, 07:38:50 AM »

Alright guys we are almost there. The weekends are usually unpredictable and this is the weekend before the storm. Do we get BCC and how long does it last? Do we not get BCC? What price swings do we have?

These are all pretty unknown. We are having exchanges shut down during the fork period for BTC. As I've said in the past I'm not doing this to sell quick, even tho I have done some of that. I'm riding this thing through the year and into next year. Hope you guys have had fun up to this big day, judgment day. I know I have enjoyed the ride, but it's just getting started for me.

Go Cats!

This is a good article about the price jump.

I just sold all my core position. Next few weeks are unknown, however trends say that Thursday evening into the early Friday hours are the weekly highs. Then the weekend happens and it drops. With the atomic surge and everything not locked in, I'm taking minimal profits, "speculating" on a big dip to rebuy my core position.

Well that was stupid. Got greedy. Bought back in and almost got all of it back that I sold. Lesson learned.

I'm honest enough to admit when I'm wrong. I knew I was right, I never sell my entire core position unless I know I'm right. I got scared by the market. I sold my entire core position I had at break even of {redacted} per LTC for {redacted} per LTC. A core position in the {redacted} digits LTC.

eff!!!!

Edit: might have shared a little too much.

I hope Phil got out of his ETH position, that crap is getting pummeled.

There's a reason I have never talked about ETH since I cashed out. It was never meant for long term storage of value, its a currency made to execute the smart contracts on the Ethereum network. Nothing more.

Hence my admission a long time ago it seems that I got lucky investing in it.

Probably not right now. Who knows if it will be around long enough for support. It might replace Bitcoin. It might crash and burn in a week. Nobody knows.

do you think we should expect to see more of this type of fork in the future?

Depends on how well Bitcoin cash does. It kind of came out of nowhere with a segment of the mining community that didn't agree with SegWit2x. I will also add that SegWit2x which increases the block size doesn't necessarily have to activate until November. At that time Bitcoin could fork again as a result of not having a consensus between the miners and the developers. Which was the original fear before everyone got on board with trying to prevent a split a few weeks ago.

Here's an article I read a little bit ago on it.

If we can break this $225 mark we should see it go up a lot. Keep the line moving!!!
