 600K and 900K coins are not a lot vs 17M+ coins out there.
Also you miss the point a sellers have been wiped out 3 or 4 times now.
they thing, if I sell and the market turns I will never be able to buy back in and miss out the 10 X or 20 x or whatever.
Like the guy "I wish I had kept my 1,700 BTC @ $0.06 instead of selling them at $0.30, now that they're $8.00! "
represents about a third of the influential quantities.
and thats my point, wiped out in one move, at one point in time and this has happened 20 times plus is BTC falls.
The real bears with real BTC are exopentially dead and have been for a long time.
This issue was detected a long ago and it every exchange that was guilty of fake trading at some point, not the CEX alone though CEX are the king in fake trading. However, i am surprised you just noticed this now.
No I said this a few years back as well, just saying it agian now, as it becomes even more apparent.
occam's razor suggests it would seem that most exchange have a good amount of fractional btc that are being "made" and sold to real fiat buyers.
Haveing said that a good amount of "stable" coins are probally fake or not at face value. That is tether et.al printers are buying BTC on exchanges. Some of which will not be redeemable.
So this goes in tiers.
The people who paid fiat for thier tether.stable will not get thier fiat back, and the people who then purchased BTC with thier stable will not get thier BTC back unless they move thier BTC of the exchange.
It is my understanding that all centralised systems become fractional, even if not meaning to just to the shear number of tranactions going on.
For those people who are long term holders of btc or any crypto, do you have a plan of when you would sell it?
Im not certain if I can consider myself as a long term hodler since im not like others who can ignore their crypto even for long time because they can sustain themselves financially and not struggling.
In my case, I have set target price for my Bitcoin and altcoins on when im going to sell it. But I still take profit at times if my coins had a huge increase, this is to enjoy some of my earnings. Im holding some of my alts for few years now, but when it comes to my Bitcoin, there are times I get tempted to sell it especially if im really in need of money.
There's no wrong actually if you keep your bitcoins for long term hodling, but its certainly not a smart move for a wise investor. Yes, you can hold it as much as you can but you can't hold the assurance if its value will always moves up. There are times that its price suddenly drops down and then you miss the chance again to make profits. So its a always a smart idea to set your target selling price so you will also gain profits and not just on accumulating more bitcoin. Investing helps you create profits and capital gains, so you should always find time to sell your coins at a good price.
if you zoom out BTC is a very wise choice. Also don't diversify. here is why.
You have thrown away 77.5 X 45 K or 3.4 Million.
But every one says diversify and 20x is way more than normines would hold and not take a profit.
If you choose to cash out, then do so with very small amount of your total, eg 1% ~5% of total holdings on or around what you think are run ups.
at x billion size purchase, they will have loans from back somwhere in the pipeline, so it great just inflates fiat more and pumps value of BTC.
Think about it, swapiing infintley printibale digital USD via fractional reserve and QE for hard money. Who would not?
What do you cash out into?
Gold/Silver gold cert rigged.
Find a better asset class is the first issue even before you get to "price".
I recall around here when 21 BTC was the make it number and that was not to hard to get.
Ok so what happened is I *sent* the transaction, at least the electrum walled show it as sent, but it was never actually sent / broadcast on chain.
I am not sure how the electrum wallet thinks this transaction has happened.
I probally have to reload the headers or something.
To get the right wallet I restored a wallet from the *zpub....* again.
If that happens, you don't have to restore the watch-only wallet, the saved "local transaction" can be removed by the right-click menu "remove".
or since you're using a cold-storage set-up, you may have clicked "save" instead of broadcast after loading the signed transaction.
Either way, it will be saved as a 'local transaction', indicated by the 'blue computer' icon instead of the 'check', 'pie' or 'clock' icon.
if u have solved it yourself.
then u can close this thread.
But it does not explain why the wallet showed up as the transaction going through when it never got onto the blockchain.
So I have an address in my BTC electrum wallet (watching) and it shows I have some BTC on it.
However the I cannot see this btc on any blockchain explorer on that address.
There are no incomeing or outgoing transactions on the blockchain explorer on that address.
I can see all the other addresses in my wallter have that have BTC have the corresponding amounts on various blockchain explorers and are correct in all respects.
I have found he outstanding amount ON a different change address in my wallet.
For some reason the Electrum wallet has confused itself as what address the coins are on.
The BTC in the electrm wallet show the BTC is on the change adress one bellow where it actualy is.
When I make a transaction to sign, it is using the wrong address.
Does anyone know why the amount in circulation of XYM on Coinmarketcap is significantly lower than XEM (5,58 bln vs 8,99 bln)? According to the snapshot, there should be exactly the same amount in circulation, right?
I've been wondering for some time why XYM, although significantly higher in price, is positioned somewhere on rank 200, while XEM is among the top 100.
Or is it just a wrong representation with Coinmarketcap.ccom?
Yes because not everyone claimed thier XYM with thier XEM yet. Its likely that those that have not claimed will not.
So I think Shib sort of hooked into where the feather coin and CNC left off.
The normies undestand a billion or millon of something is worth alot, thye fell that owning 100K is beter then sub fractions. 
Fort this reason haveing a coin where many and be million or billion "coin" token aires is fundamentallyu atttative becuase it is iunderstandable.
If nromies people undestood "sats" they would feel the same way.
I think shibs are going to get rugged hard, but it will surpass likely doge. Then get rugged.
The shibs feel left out becuase they were not into doge and t his is their cahnce.
I however also think its bad for crypto if Shib goes stupidly high, and it probally will at this point.
For risk of the rugening TM however it to high to enter at this point.
I think the masses are slowy wakeing up to printed money infaltion as houses and cost of living decouple from wages - its a long time now sicne the 70's and people are finaly wiseing up across the spectrum.
- middle class are shrinking in number and findign thier jobs don't meet cost of living.
$100k is going to be difficult to maintain IMO since it is a lot of peoples "get out of BTC and retire" price.
If you are sitting on 20 or 30 BTC then depending on your age, where you live and a few other factors more or less retire and do whatever.
Yes, if you buy Lambos it's going to be a different story, but if you are middle age and want to kick back and relax then I can see a lot of selling at that price.
I am of the view BTC is the world's first general AI with a narrow objective to secure the blockchain.
It can and does do everything to optimize power to hash which secures the blockchain.
It happens to be mated to the human population at the moment on the basis it offers value via arbitrage of the valuation of everything in the world vs legacy FIAT. Robotic actors could increase fulfill this role.
whether etherium or some other become dominant is otiose. The proposition stands.
21 bitcoins back in 2013 ~ 2016 was the club to be in.
Because the number of bitcoins is known is there any good analysis of if buys of BTC balances with sells of btc over time.
that is you should be able to sum within say 5% error over an extended period of time if the sells match buys.
Then you could call out fake sells and buys by exchanges.
I personally think and have said that a lot of exchanges are selling fake BTC and also a lot of fake tether buying.
At this point do you think the incentive is large enough so someone in the supply
