johnlogan reacted to Eric123 in Manipulation in Anticipation of Bakkt Futures
This is what has happened and what is happening IMO. My opinion only and I may be wrong - but I'm betting I'm not.
Groups/People with money power/bitcoin= "They"
Last year "They" Bought bitcoins on the exchanges in anticipation of the CME futures (CME market was cash settled only, trades on CME did not affect the price - these basically were just bets not purchases of bitcoin). The plan was to drive up the price of bitcoin by buying bitcoins on the exchanges in Oct, Nov, Dec 2017 then "They " took leveraged short positions on the futures market. Then "They" sold their bitcoins on the exchanges driving down the price and making money on their leveraged shorts on the CME futures market. This was the tail wagging the dog price wise.
This year and upcoming -
The Intercontinental Exchange ICE - (the owners of the NYSE) is starting a futures market at the end of January 2018 called BAKKT - https://cointelegraph.com/news/nyse-operators-bakkt-confirms-end-of-january-launch-date-for-digital-assets-platform.
BAKKT will be settled in bitcoin. Because it's settled in bitcoin "They" can't just make a bet on what will happen on the exchanges then manipulate the price down. BAKKT will have to enter the market and buy the bitcoins and move them to their wallet. This will significantly drive up the price of Bitcoin..
So basically we are watching a reverse of last year "They" are driving down the price of bitcoin in anticipation of the futures market driving it up which starts at the end of January 2019.
Once bitcoin moves up the entire market will move with it. Bitcoin is a lot more scarce than most commodities and has a set number - "Physical" futures market should propel it to ATH. XRP and all ALT's will go along for the ride.
Would like to hear other's opinions. Especially why I am wrong.

johnlogan reacted to Staigera in If you honestly don’t believe that XRP’s price can go beyond $5-$10 what is your motivation for posting in here
Funny as always. *slowly claps*

johnlogan reacted to Defcon_1 in Why did the price drop all of a sudden?
Oh, don't worry - 'support' is not far away.
I recall the same noise when XRP dipped below $2.

johnlogan reacted to Defcon_1 in STAY STRONG!!!
And I am sure the ones calling you a troll have fallen silent. That will be conveniently forgotten.
Now $3 EOY seems wildly optimistic unless some huge breakthrough occurs.

johnlogan reacted to P3T3RIS in Why did the price drop all of a sudden?
My buys got filled between .38 - .34 as I expected. New sell orders set to levels few cents up to add selling pressure. Bitfinex showing quite a wall at .37 and in case XRP won´t climb back at all, this all indicates to me that there is an instant selloff after buyins at .34, selling all they´ve got to buy below ticker and are able to sell soon, below .37 it now seems. I´m laddering my buys and anything I get, I set instantly back to market for upwards moves to sell. Now that we reached SUPPORT (edited) here, I remove all my buy orders downwards until closer to .25 and wait and see which decision market makes. Reminds me of september 20 - 21 but other direction, when price held steadily at .45 before sudden spike to .75 in 3 hours.This could continue fast.
When I am building long positions, by setting sell orders 1 - 2 cents or 5 - 10 cents higher means I am part of the market and make it harder for any upspikes to happen without prior notice and it helps "feel the pulse" much better. If there are no buyers at this level, there definitely is need to push it lower below .32.
Next strong support if this won´t hold here, is around .25, since we now know any downward pressure takes us well below .32

This crypto market is the great leveler - all the pompous posturing and nonsense results in nothing more than tossing darts at a board.

johnlogan got a reaction from GiddyUp in Is crypto dead?
Why do new technologies like crypto tend to bubble up? Because it’s very hard to value a new technology’s intrinsic value using traditional valuation methods (present value of discounted future cashflows) as they generally don’t generate any cashflows until very far into the future. In the case of XRP this becomes even more difficult as many of them will never generate cashflows and yet will nevertheless be incredibly valuable.

I would love to see their Linkedin pages. That way I can see what their credentials are, besides beta males that stay home and watch the kids or play Battlefield 5+.

What people need to understand is he is not in crypto, he is a forex trader, the only reason he analysised BTC was case a lot of his followers asked him to do so. It's an unbiased opinion baseded on TA. If you want to see his history check out his YouTube channel, he has some very insightful information when it comes to trading.

On July 8, 1932 the DOW closed at $41. The crypto market is not sacred by any means. Anything can happen here.

johnlogan reacted to ChuckN in Ouch!!! BTC Mining is down
Nonsense. I'm sure "Most" on this forum who are actually invested would prefer see their investment appreciate.
