Publicly traded company selling junk bonds to buy 500 million more of BTC. What could possibly go wrong?

I like charts and all, but reading a lot of the jargon and justifications for when things don't follow what people (not people here, twitter) are charting I think of this:

What do you mean by, "When things don't follow what people are charting."?

The trick with charting is there are a whole bunch of technical data methods people use. The other trick is that EMH (Efficient Market Hypothesis) states that you cant predict future movements of the market with past data. Lots of people get so tied up in their "chosen" technical indicators that when it doesn't work they just try to explain it off.

The reality is is technical analysis works, except when it doesn't. It tends to work a lot better when the algos are following the same analysis because they are operating in massive market moving volume. The market doesn't notice when I am right. It always seems to notice when I am wrong though and taunt me.

Despite what people may say, the point of charting and modeling to that level of detail is to try to predict the future. It's basically bone reading with more computing power.

China can already predict the future with people, not long till it works in the US with social media. Don't see why we shouldn't be able to predict stocks as well. Don't hate on the pioneers of analytical dowsing.

Manipulation to produce predictable results is not precognition.

More than one person had the key (to prevent one criminal from dicking over the other criminals) and it was somehow stored or transmitted poorly at some point and got either intercepted or seized. Either that or the "payment server" itself had some kind of API function that had the key in the code, and they seized a server with the source code for the payment API, and got it that way.

There's a lot of ways to fuck up when storing this kind of information if you're going to be doing any kind of automated transactions with a "payment server."

The idea isnt to predict the future. That is impossible. The idea is to predict what algo-driven traders will do since they require actual parameters to initiate trades that can be predicted.

Funded my Gemini account. Over time I have been seeing how closely the market movements of BTC matched my technical analysis. I feel at this point comfortable enough with the results to see what I can do with it.

Predicting the future (behavior of algo-driven traders) is impossible. There, fixed :)

It's like when people try to use technical rules to explain why a photograph or painting is considered to be aesthetically pleasing, but then throw the rules out the window when an aesthetically pleasing piece of art doesn't fit into that framework.

I'd be curious to see someone test out the chart technicians by asking them to retroactively predict the past performance of a crypto without knowing which chart they're looking at.

BTC chart. Nothing much has changed since it is below all the moving averages, Its all about the January support level. $31027, $31275 and $31,030. Nothing but air below this January support line. It has been continuing to make lower lows on each of these tests of the bottom. The 10 and 20 DMA are now down in the 36k range which is creating overhead resistance. The longer it stays down here the harder it will be to break back upwards.

or.. I am totally wrong.

Average of those three prices is $31,110.67
The buying started at the bottom price of $31,067
Random chance at work. :p
