You’re in a desert walking along in the sand when all of the sudden you look down, and you see a tortoise, it’s crawling toward you. You reach down, you flip the tortoise over on its back. The tortoise lays on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun, beating its legs trying to turn itself over, but it can’t, not without your help. But you’re not helping. Why is that?

So you look around.

That's what you're doing.

You’re not helping. Or maybe you just realize you're not helping.

Or sometimes you don't realize you're not helping until your hands reach the edge of a boulder and you say, "Stop, stop, stop!!" and your fingers catch them up to reach that boulder.

When you get back to your spot, do you do anything but keep walking?

If you do, you are on to something. Because you are getting there.

You can see your friend reaching across.

He's going to be back here one of these days.

Because you are getting back to where you started. You can get lost in it.

You can become a part of the conversation with that little tortoise, right in front of it.

You’ve got a little boy. He shows you his butterfly collection plus the killing jar.

GILES ‬– We'll see you in the swamp.

WOLF

I don't expect your reaction.

(points over the edge of the swamp)

And, for now, what did we get from the killing jar?

(pointing to the butterfly and dagger)

Hog or chicken!

GILES ‬– Get back to work.

WOLF –‬Thanks for coming! Good luck!

(They fly away)

WOLF

(looking in distance)

We've got that monkey back in the lab.

WOLF (CONT'D)

It could have been even worse! (points at the monkey again)

WOLF (CONT'D)

This monkey died of a lethal overdose of the stuff.

WOLF

They're turning out a lot of different monkeys.

(They fly away)

It could be anything... or it could be worse.

quote:

Bitcoin (BTC) ongoing corrective bounce could be short-lived, as the charts are signaling a short-term bullish-to-bearish trend change.

Exchange volume is a vital indicator of the strength of a price chart and a bullish move can mean a quick correction down; as is sometimes true, however, the trend is only ever a two-day chart. As with any long-term trend, bearish momentum will remain strong into October, and positive news about Bitcoin and its underlying cryptocurrency environment could result in a sudden and strong selloff in the week of October 5. This could be accompanied by short-sale activity and a spike in the Bitstamp price and, potentially, a temporary uptrend.

Short-Term and Long-Term Buy-and-Sell Factors

While I am not expecting Bitcoin to hit $100 (USD) or exceed $2000 (BTC) anytime soon, I certainly expect to keep Bitcoin's trend upward this year until the price bounces back to near its 2014 highs. The chart below shows a short-term bullish trend after a 12-month bearish decline.

There is, however, an upside to the short-term bullish trend if Bitcoin's price moves above $100 in the first week. A bounce to the downside to close to that level would force the price of Bitcoin to retrace back to its peak.


The only thing that gives it away is that the AI has a more realistic view of price that coiners do.

But when he's not trying to start a bitcoin club, his wife is trying to kill vampires - so it probably wasn't the nicest thing he did.

Deathball, a former member of the bitcoin foundation "bitcoin core development" team, has been on the other side of the controversy and is defending the Bitcoin Cash hard fork that occurred yesterday. At a recent Bitcoin Cash meetup he claimed to be on the verge of getting involved with Bitcoin Unlimited and even claimed to speak for the entire bitcoin community when asked about its position on BU.

With his wife around, it should come as no surprise that Deathball is probably the most anti-Bitcoin Cash person in the bitcoin universe.

He came out of nowhere in 2014 with #IAmSpikeDeathball, a popular #BitcoinInYourFace hashtag that he began using to share some of his more provocative ideas on social media. #IAmSpikeDeathball quickly exploded, garnering more than 12 million tweets between October 27 and December 1 of that year, and generated dozens if not hundreds of thousands of shares on Reddit and Twitter.

"The world wants to think you're a great investor or a great businessman, or you are the new Charlie Sheen," Deathball explains.

The hashtag is currently trending on Twitter with more than 1,600 retweets so far.

He also launched his own company called "NoDiceBit" under the No Dice Bit umbrella, a product based on his idea of a decentralized digital world coin whose price rises and falls according to how much users trust it. According to Deathball, that idea has already started to gain significant traction on social media.

"People on social media start talking about, 'What's the 'No Dice Bit' thing?' You actually see a lot of that in the tech community [as well]."
