Re: Anonymous trader buys $400 million in bitcoin
Aren't all bitcoin transactions anonymous? Kind of a dumbass move to have that in your title.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 71088974


Not really anonymous, not BTC.. for example if you take the address in my SIG (which has 0 use so not such a good example but eh)

[link to blockchain.info (secure)]

Same can be done with any address to examine what is happening with it, and where funds are coming/going, etc

There are coins out there being designed around Privacy, but BTC isn't one of them heh

The anonymous in the title of the article (which I just cut and paste into the thread title) probably refers to the fact that many of the "big players" are known, using known addresses, etc

"fear of missing out"

Means.. omg the price is going to rise, quick, buy buy buy buy! with no supporting facts or maybe just having seen one tweet or post about it by some random person.. hmm

FOMO!!

For example I fomo'd the fuck out of ETC today, like a noob, upon hearing that it might spike this week, but maybe it will pay off!

Anonymous trader buys $400 million in bitcoin
Published: Feb 16

Go big or go home. That’s the motto of one mysterious investor who put his chips on the table, buying close to $400 million of the No.1 digital currency, bitcoin.

The purchase comes as cryptocurrencies are making a comeback after a dreadful start to 2018. Major digital currencies lost as much as 50% to start the year as growing regulation and security fears crippled the market, seeing traders bail on their positions. However, the tide has turned

Well, you know those people who caused the crash purposely (and were there trying to make it crash even further as explained in that crash video lolz) accumulated many millions of $ selling their BTC like crazy there at the end when they hit the 6000$ wall - I'd guess now that they were just buying back in shamefully, having been soundly defeated in that massive financial war that happened and that most didn't realize was going on... Perhaps the first massively public round of the war for the future of finances and who controls the world, between the old rich and the crypto rich.

Of course it is, but having billions and transferring 400 million into an exchange or btc service in order to be able to buy that much BTC.. ouch.

If that order would hit one shot it would cause the price to go absolutely wild as they buy all of the open orders (each of which is slightly higher than the other, and is often for less than 1 BTC) - that's like 40,000 BTC - if you observed the order books for btc on an exchange chances are there are not even 40,000 available to buy heh

Not quite! Some of us are not concerned with what BTC is actually worth, as long as things are moving up and down all the time, so we can make money off the dips and spikes, like.. the stock market, or the forex market.. same same!

Right now everything follows BTC's trends, as the big dawg, but there are a couple that stand to decouple from BTC's value, such as LTC or NEO, and stand on their own, meaning "they" would have to crash many of them.. and they failed to do just one.. so eh.. no problem!

 Quoting: anonymous4412


Hmmm? Well if you are buying and holding, then perhaps, else.. everyone is selling at higher prices.. that's the point!

Anyway look, btc went up 5,000$ on it's own, back to 11,000$ levels, and is still raising, before that 400 million purchase.. BTC practically doubled in price naturally, in a month's time.

You know, even if it crashes eventually, who cares, get in, make money, get out. Don't be like the people who didn't invest in Google when it was a penny stock!
