This is a mirror of the original BitMEX trollbox archive that used to be online here.
BitMEX disabled their archive after the DDOS attack so I have decided to make my mirror publicly available.

Well now, a few days after I made this mirror available to the public, the original archive from BitMEX is online again.
But since it is still limited (neutered to the last few hundred messages) I will keep my FULL mirror alive.

[2017-03-20 08:02:45] RoftheN : But the inflation is still far too high, I think it won't go up much more, the halving is years away

[2017-03-20 09:01:08] aron : i said OR so a 'yes' is weird
[2017-03-20 09:01:11] jose : aron: 1000 is cheap for BTC in 2017

[2017-03-20 09:02:13] freact : not so sure with hard forks looming
[2017-03-20 09:02:31] aron : look we broke 1020
[2017-03-20 09:02:36] aron : onto the moon we go
[2017-03-20 09:02:51] aron : dum all at 1050
[2017-03-20 09:03:15] Actualiteit : aron: do you have a BA in YoBit trollbox etiquette?
[2017-03-20 09:03:18] jose : freact: after HF we will have LN, so it is going to sky rocket. Exactly like ETH after ddos attack. it took a bit to recover and now it is ATH
[2017-03-20 09:03:44] aron : jose what is HF?
[2017-03-20 09:03:49] aron : oh yeah hard fork
[2017-03-20 09:03:55] aron : LN?
[2017-03-20 09:03:59] jose : HF hard for LN lighning network
[2017-03-20 09:04:34] aron : jose but u cant use this site for long term
[2017-03-20 09:05:08] jose : aron: you can, if you dont expect dumps
[2017-03-20 09:05:24] jose : i would be long on June if not HF
[2017-03-20 09:05:32] aron : can i profit off of btc moving by 2 usd?
[2017-03-20 09:05:39] aron : if i dont have a big bankroll
[2017-03-20 09:05:44] jose : aron: 100x
[2017-03-20 09:05:54] aron : yes i put 1 usd as 100x
[2017-03-20 09:06:12] Actualiteit : leverage yourself to shit and get liquidated by a 5$ move
[2017-03-20 09:06:14] Actualiteit : best strategy
[2017-03-20 09:06:19] jose : i think it is too dangerous anyway xD
[2017-03-20 09:06:28] aron : jose i'll sell all at 1024
[2017-03-20 09:06:40] aron : so i made 1$ profit
[2017-03-20 09:06:57] jose : liquidation price ?
[2017-03-20 09:07:03] aron : 1013
[2017-03-20 09:07:10] freact : lol
[2017-03-20 09:07:11] jose : good luck, haha
[2017-03-20 09:07:18] j8 : sounds like a lot of work for a dollar!
[2017-03-20 09:07:18] aron : jose its a race
[2017-03-20 09:07:24] aron : j8 i dont want the dollar
[2017-03-20 09:07:25] freact : rekt incoming?
[2017-03-20 09:07:28] aron : im doing this to learn
[2017-03-20 09:07:44] j8 : good job, most people just blow it all asap
[2017-03-20 09:07:45] aron : im starting off with small trades
[2017-03-20 09:08:09] aron : but i only have around .2 btc in this account
[2017-03-20 09:08:15] freact : that is a good idea. I'm also just learning with small amounts
[2017-03-20 09:08:19] KyllingLolsson : aron: better start smaller leverage
[2017-03-20 09:08:23] KyllingLolsson : just to learn
[2017-03-20 09:08:35] KyllingLolsson : a loss is worse than a small profit
[2017-03-20 09:08:39] aron : kyllingloisson can u give an example of a profitable small leverage trade?
[2017-03-20 09:08:49] jose : last local low was 1012 and we are on down trend so next local low so be below 1012, so you should liquidate
[2017-03-20 09:09:08] aron : jose not if we reach 1025 first
[2017-03-20 09:09:09] KyllingLolsson : aron: ooh, dont have time. go to babypips.com
[2017-03-20 09:09:12] KyllingLolsson : school
[2017-03-20 09:09:14] aron : ok
[2017-03-20 09:09:49] jose : aron: you need to go to local low before going back to 1025 imho
[2017-03-20 09:11:00] aron : jose u think we will see 1013 before we see 1023?
[2017-03-20 09:11:24] jose : aron: in fact if it goes back to 1025 before going to 1013, you should not close at 1025 because we are on uptrend again, you should close more like 1030+
[2017-03-20 09:12:18] Actualiteit : im expecting a squeeze in an hour or so at 10, breakout up
[2017-03-20 09:12:22] Actualiteit : just my expectations tho
[2017-03-20 09:13:26] aron : jose because of fees and all do you think the minimum profit i should make is 1$?
[2017-03-20 09:13:31] aron : otherwise i make a loss?
[2017-03-20 09:13:45] jose : not if you are maker
[2017-03-20 09:13:50] jose : but fees are not the problem
[2017-03-20 09:13:59] aron : then what is?
[2017-03-20 09:14:46] jose : i think your targets are not good
[2017-03-20 09:16:30] jose : just look at the local high and local lows, if i doesnt go under 1013 then it should go over 1040
[2017-03-20 09:16:41] jose : so your target of 1025 is not good
[2017-03-20 09:17:00] aron : jose it says the local low is 936
[2017-03-20 09:17:07] aron : and H is 1337
[2017-03-20 09:17:10] j8 : the problem with 100x is you need the price to gain 1% to double your money, and you lose it all if it drops 0.5%. it's really bad odds if your plan is to take profit at that point, you need to be right more than 2/3 of the time
[2017-03-20 09:17:33] aron : j8 i thought i lost all if it drops 1%
[2017-03-20 09:17:42] j8 : nope
[2017-03-20 09:17:47] aron : oh bad odds then
[2017-03-20 09:17:58] jose : j8 is right, 100x is used to ride the wave, not going against the trend
[2017-03-20 09:18:03] j8 : there is maintenance margin of 0.5%, whether it's 100x or not
[2017-03-20 09:18:28] aron : j8 so am i not getting bad odds with every leverage?
[2017-03-20 09:19:06] jose : look at the chart, last high was 1040 and before low is 1013 and befor high is 1065
[2017-03-20 09:19:07] aron : even if i did 100 contracts with 10x leverage
[2017-03-20 09:19:24] j8 : well for example at 10x, you are liquidated after a -9.5% loss, which isn't much worse than -10%
[2017-03-20 09:19:34] aron : oh ok
[2017-03-20 09:19:39] jose : aron: 100x is the worst
[2017-03-20 09:20:03] Actualiteit : cross is a close second without stops tho lol
[2017-03-20 09:20:20] aron : jose should i have done 10x with 10 contracts?
[2017-03-20 09:20:40] aron : but i dont think i wouldve made any money off it
[2017-03-20 09:20:47] jose : aron: no, because it take 100x more margin that what you did haha
[2017-03-20 09:21:46] aron : jose can u give me an example of a good trade?
[2017-03-20 09:21:53] aron : its at 1022 right now
[2017-03-20 09:22:06] aron : and i expect it to reach 1025 soon
[2017-03-20 09:22:14] aron : so what kind of trade should i do?
[2017-03-20 09:22:17] jose : it is 1022 from 1017
[2017-03-20 09:22:33] jose : look like it is going to 1030+
[2017-03-20 09:22:39] KyllingLolsson : aron: One thing is for sure, the fear of mising out is what lead to most of my failures. So its better to miss out than to lose!
[2017-03-20 09:23:09] KyllingLolsson : u simply have to learn the hard way
[2017-03-20 09:23:11] aron : i made only 0.001?
[2017-03-20 09:23:20] aron : oh yeah thats right
[2017-03-20 09:23:24] jose : aron: dont take position if your not 100% sure
[2017-03-20 09:23:48] aron : jose it went to 1023 without hitting low
[2017-03-20 09:24:05] jose : aron: this is why i said it will go 1030+

[2017-03-20 09:24:49] aron : i lost .002
[2017-03-20 09:24:58] aron : even though i predicted correctly
[2017-03-20 09:25:02] aron : this is cause of fees
[2017-03-20 09:25:41] etoque : add doge here
[2017-03-20 09:25:59] aron : jose shouldnt i have made profit?

[2017-03-20 09:26:30] aron : jose right now im not sure itll go to 1030 without reaching 1018

[2017-03-20 09:30:29] aron : im just wondering why i didnt make a profit
[2017-03-20 09:30:38] aron : even thought it went up
[2017-03-20 09:30:56] jose : because you took when you opened your position
[2017-03-20 09:31:06] aron : i took what?
[2017-03-20 09:31:10] freact : aron: look at your trade history to see
[2017-03-20 09:31:22] jose : you took the order in the orderbook instead of making
[2017-03-20 09:31:32] aron : how do i make it?
[2017-03-20 09:31:39] jose : people in the inderbook are paid when they are executed
[2017-03-20 09:32:05] freact : aron: check "Post-only" if you want to make sure you get the maker rebate
[2017-03-20 09:32:19] jose : but you shouldnt make on 100x because you are going against the trend
[2017-03-20 09:32:34] aron : jose i believe itll reach 1018 soon
[2017-03-20 09:33:14] jose : believe is not strong enough to go 100x :)
[2017-03-20 09:33:36] aron : even with 1 usd?
[2017-03-20 09:34:30] aron : jose okay. So should i go 10x with 10 usd?
[2017-03-20 09:34:36] aron : that makes 100 contracts
[2017-03-20 09:35:44] donsteep : that makes 10 contracts with a 1usd collateral
[2017-03-20 09:36:07] aron : donsteep i want 100 contracts
[2017-03-20 09:36:15] aron : so it makes 10 usd collateral
[2017-03-20 09:36:29] donsteep : if you want 100 then put 100 into quantity
[2017-03-20 09:36:31] DorianWhack-A-Moto : aron: go 100x on 1 dollar
[2017-03-20 09:37:01] donsteep : yeah do that. the most you can lose is 1 cent and you'll see how it works
[2017-03-20 09:37:42] aron : donsteep i went 100x with 1 usd when price was 1018
[2017-03-20 09:37:46] aron : i sold all at 1023 and made a loss
[2017-03-20 09:37:58] aron : this was because i didnt do a post only thing
[2017-03-20 09:38:15] aron : however my point is that i shouldve made a profit because the calculator said i would
[2017-03-20 09:38:23] donsteep : well. you didn't because that should leave you with 3 usd in between to make profit
[2017-03-20 09:38:34] aron : donsteep i lost 2-3 usd
[2017-03-20 09:38:49] aron : i lost 0.0022 xbt
[2017-03-20 09:38:53] donsteep : check your exec prices on your fills
[2017-03-20 09:39:28] aron : it shows 0.0003 xbt as profit
[2017-03-20 09:39:38] donsteep : you can't really trade movements of a few dollars because the spread and market order fees will eat you
[2017-03-20 09:39:58] aron : donsteep what if i did 10 usd with 100x?
[2017-03-20 09:40:41] donsteep : well then your collateral is 10 cents and you make 10 dollars if the price doubles
[2017-03-20 09:40:59] aron : sorry i meant 1000 usd
[2017-03-20 09:41:00] jose : aron: it is not the size the problem, it is your profit. 1$ is not enough to cover the taker fees
[2017-03-20 09:41:12] donsteep : yeah
[2017-03-20 09:41:22] REKT : Liquidated short on `ETH7D`: buy 229 @ 0.042470
[2017-03-20 09:41:40] aron : jose how much profit should i aim for?
[2017-03-20 09:42:02] REKT : Liquidated short on `ETH7D`: buy 40 @ 0.042760
[2017-03-20 09:42:35] donsteep : well assuming a spread of 0.5usd and 2x market order, the minimum is 2usd change in your favor just to break even
[2017-03-20 09:43:14] jose : aron: look at the chart, if you look at 1h you see the price moves 10$ then you should aim 5$
[2017-03-20 09:44:00] jose : I make several hours trade so i aim 20$ but it requires a lot of funds
[2017-03-20 09:44:13] datboiyuan : jose: high roller
[2017-03-20 09:44:16] aron : jose but it doesnt move 10$
[2017-03-20 09:44:28] jose : datboiyuan: not really xD
[2017-03-20 09:44:30] donsteep : then it's not a good place to trade
[2017-03-20 09:44:35] aron : it barely moves by few dollars
[2017-03-20 09:44:48] j8 : patience is key
[2017-03-20 09:44:56] aron : at 6:30 AM price was around 1022
[2017-03-20 09:45:21] KyllingLolsson : Let him learn the hard way...
[2017-03-20 09:45:33] jose : volatility is low since last 12h
[2017-03-20 09:45:34] j8 : it moved $300 over 3 days this past week
[2017-03-20 09:45:35] datboiyuan : aron: wait for a big move one way and bet hard the other. pretty good chance you maybe might win
[2017-03-20 09:45:46] aron : datboiyuan -.-
[2017-03-20 09:45:52] aron : genius
[2017-03-20 09:45:53] donsteep : aron I suggest you spend the day playing 50/100x bets with 1usd quantity and see which ones make you profit
[2017-03-20 09:46:03] Actualiteit : datboiyuan: bet, maybe, might
[2017-03-20 09:46:06] aron : donsteep i cant profit
[2017-03-20 09:46:06] Actualiteit : yeah no ty
[2017-03-20 09:46:14] aron : with 1 usd
[2017-03-20 09:46:17] etoque : donsteep: lol go with 10-30$ at least
[2017-03-20 09:46:27] jose : aron: 1 usd quantity not 1usd profit
[2017-03-20 09:46:41] etoque : cmon
[2017-03-20 09:46:49] aron : jose how can i make profit with 1 usd quantity? btc will have to double for me
[2017-03-20 09:46:53] etoque : 1 usd u loose ur time here lol
[2017-03-20 09:47:25] donsteep : the point is to get a good sense of how the trading works before you find your pockets empty
[2017-03-20 09:47:30] datboiyuan : Actualiteit: :)
[2017-03-20 09:47:31] etoque : oh
[2017-03-20 09:47:32] j8 : personally i think he's learned a lot from this chat and he's ready to go all in
[2017-03-20 09:47:36] etoque : yeah sure if so
[2017-03-20 09:47:40] donsteep : lol j8
[2017-03-20 09:47:42] datboiyuan : j8: definitely
[2017-03-20 09:47:48] datboiyuan : me too though, who can I pay?
[2017-03-20 09:47:49] Actualiteit : j8: Agree, he doesnt even need stops at this point
[2017-03-20 09:47:56] aron : jose what do you think about 5x leverage, 100 usd contracts (so 20 usd collateral) with aim of 1032?
[2017-03-20 09:48:11] datboiyuan : do it
[2017-03-20 09:48:26] aron : datboiyuan dont u have things to do
[2017-03-20 09:48:32] donsteep : yeah at least it'll leave you enough room for profit in between fees and spread
[2017-03-20 09:49:00] aron : donsteep i cant tell if youre serious
[2017-03-20 09:49:02] datboiyuan : actually right now I'm shitting
[2017-03-20 09:49:05] donsteep : I am :)
[2017-03-20 09:49:07] jose : aron: tell me something your are sure about bitcoin price
[2017-03-20 09:49:15] aron : it will go to 1030
[2017-03-20 09:49:30] zy : lol
[2017-03-20 09:49:39] jose : when ?
[2017-03-20 09:49:45] aron : within a few hours
[2017-03-20 09:50:18] zy : how about you go 100x all in if you're so sure?
[2017-03-20 09:50:22] donsteep : well pick your collateral based on what you won't mind losing and go ahead
[2017-03-20 09:50:30] aron : and the min itll reach is like 1012
[2017-03-20 09:50:42] aron : zy because ill get rekt by liquidation price
[2017-03-20 09:51:40] aron : zy there are also no guarantees in trading
[2017-03-20 09:52:03] aron : jose so what kind of trade should i do if i expect it to reach 1030?
[2017-03-20 09:52:18] datboiyuan : Aron you don't even know jose
[2017-03-20 09:52:20] donsteep : at the current price (swap), none
[2017-03-20 09:52:31] datboiyuan : not sure you can trust him..
[2017-03-20 09:52:36] aron : datboiyuan i know you well enough to not trust you
[2017-03-20 09:52:50] aron : you were giving me really bad advice
[2017-03-20 09:52:56] aron : jose is giving decent advice
[2017-03-20 09:53:24] datboiyuan : I sincerely wish you the best
[2017-03-20 09:53:32] aron : thanks
[2017-03-20 09:53:37] jose : if i doesnt go to 1030 in the next 2 hours then i will go down
[2017-03-20 09:53:39] donsteep : while we've been talking the price has gone up $4 and 1030 is no longer a viable target :(
[2017-03-20 09:54:22] aron : jose I understand your speculation i just dont understand the way to trade
[2017-03-20 09:54:50] aron : jose i think itll reach 1200 usd within a few days
[2017-03-20 09:55:06] aron : but i cant trade on this info because ill get rekt by liquidation
[2017-03-20 09:55:38] zy : i don't normally say this but you are acting like a 5 year old
[2017-03-20 09:55:58] jose : agree, you are afraid of big dump, i feel the same
[2017-03-20 09:56:22] aron : jose i think it can reach like 900 before going to 1200
[2017-03-20 09:56:32] aron : thats not such a big dump
[2017-03-20 09:56:41] aron : i'll just use 5x leverage
[2017-03-20 09:57:26] aron : okay its at 1030.9 now i think itll go to 1024 before reaching 1040
[2017-03-20 09:57:28] jose : be carefull
[2017-03-20 09:57:33] aron : okay thanks
[2017-03-20 09:57:44] jose : my internet is bad right now sorry :(

[2017-03-20 10:02:05] datboiyuan : hey Aron that whole time you were chatting asking for help, the price was rising and you could have been long
[2017-03-20 10:03:05] donsteep : 100x long would've made a nice 50% or so in a few minutes
[2017-03-20 10:03:29] aron : datboiyuan but with what leverage and what contracts?
[2017-03-20 10:04:12] donsteep : that depends only on what you're willing to bet with and what your timeframe is
[2017-03-20 10:04:34] longbydefault : aron: depends on how much money you have outside the exchange
[2017-03-20 10:04:49] aron : i have only about 1 btc
[2017-03-20 10:05:02] REKT : Liquidated short on `XBTM17`: buy 2462 @ 1045.23
[2017-03-20 10:05:03] longbydefault : aron: how much money you have outside the exchange?
[2017-03-20 10:05:10] aron : 1 btc
[2017-03-20 10:05:11] datboiyuan : 1 btc is plenty to make little amounts
[2017-03-20 10:05:30] datboiyuan : do 5x 1000 contracts
[2017-03-20 10:05:41] aron : thats 200 usd collateral
[2017-03-20 10:05:51] datboiyuan : right
[2017-03-20 10:06:28] DorianWhack-A-Moto : keep your position well covered with margin so you have plenty of room before liquidation
[2017-03-20 10:06:58] DorianWhack-A-Moto : use the calculator to see what your liq price will be etc
[2017-03-20 10:07:03] datboiyuan : you either need more capital or a higher risk apetite
[2017-03-20 10:07:09] datboiyuan : you'll get smoked by leverage
[2017-03-20 10:07:26] datboiyuan : or teeny tiny gains I suppose
[2017-03-20 10:07:37] aron : if i did 1000 contracts with 5x leverage with entry price 1030 and exit 1040 then calc says i wouldve made .009 xbt profit
[2017-03-20 10:07:59] aron : shouldnt i put some sort of 'stop loss' or something?
[2017-03-20 10:08:06] donsteep : yes
[2017-03-20 10:08:14] donsteep : "stop market" is what you're looking for
[2017-03-20 10:08:19] aron : oh and i wouldnt have made 0.009 profit cause of Taker Fee
[2017-03-20 10:08:21] datboiyuan : or you could turn your leverage up as a defacto
[2017-03-20 10:09:11] donsteep : except that liquidation is a bitch and takes more than market stop
[2017-03-20 10:10:37] donsteep : but yes higher leverage is a way to put a strict limit on what can be lost
[2017-03-20 10:11:00] DorianWhack-A-Moto : sometimes i just use cross like a degenerate
[2017-03-20 10:11:03] DorianWhack-A-Moto : yolo
[2017-03-20 10:12:14] datboiyuan : cross is not for degenerate
[2017-03-20 10:12:30] datboiyuan : unless you don't have money I suppose
[2017-03-20 10:13:25] aron : guys i put i buy order for 1020 but it expired
[2017-03-20 10:13:31] aron : is there a way i can make it not expire?
[2017-03-20 10:13:43] aron : i dont want to stare at the screen all day
[2017-03-20 10:13:51] DorianWhack-A-Moto : datboiyuan: yeah but you're risking it all, but with good balance chance of liq is low.
[2017-03-20 10:14:28] donsteep : I'm not sure what expiration means
[2017-03-20 10:14:44] DorianWhack-A-Moto : donsteep: it means dont drink the milk after that date
[2017-03-20 10:15:01] longbydefault : how about trading small amount of contracts today... see how it works... like buy 10-50 contracts...
[2017-03-20 10:15:01] donsteep : whoa this changes everything
[2017-03-20 10:15:01] longbydefault : you don't have to risk everything today
[2017-03-20 10:15:01] aron : donsteep put a buy order of 900 for xbt right now
[2017-03-20 10:15:23] aron : after 5-10 minutes it will magically cancel itself
[2017-03-20 10:15:28] donsteep : oh ok
[2017-03-20 10:15:39] aron : (bitmex cancels orders not filled in few minutes)
[2017-03-20 10:16:03] donsteep : funny I wasn't aware of that
[2017-03-20 10:16:18] aron : okay so finally im doing 10 usd contract with 5x leverage waiting to reach 1200
[2017-03-20 10:17:40] datboiyuan : aron: that is not true
[2017-03-20 10:17:48] aron : yes it is
[2017-03-20 10:18:00] datboiyuan : that they cancel orders within a few minutes?
[2017-03-20 10:18:06] aron : if its not filled
[2017-03-20 10:18:43] datboiyuan : yeah, that's not true
[2017-03-20 10:18:54] aron : but it just cancelled mine
[2017-03-20 10:20:37] aron : i had multiple orders
[2017-03-20 10:21:45] DorianWhack-A-Moto : If they canceled orders after a few minutes orderbook would be empty.
[2017-03-20 10:22:28] BitMEX_Wally : aron: Please read this: https://blog.bitmex.com/notice-regarding-spam-orders/
[2017-03-20 10:22:48] BitMEX_Wally : Now your account has been flagged as a spam account you are free to submit small orders and they will be automatically hidden, instead of canceled
[2017-03-20 10:23:30] aron : well you couldve just told me to hide my orders but okay
[2017-03-20 10:23:57] aron : Datboiyuan they think im spamming
[2017-03-20 10:24:54] BitMEX_Wally : 10 contracts is just below the threshold of 0.01 Bitcoin. Try 11 contracts :)
[2017-03-20 10:25:51] aron : BitMEX_Wally ok thanks
[2017-03-20 10:28:53] rapidtrades : @sleger bra? u here?
[2017-03-20 10:29:24] rapidtrades : BitMEX_Wally: wally will we get both chains when this POS coin forks?
[2017-03-20 10:29:35] datboiyuan : there is no fork
[2017-03-20 10:29:50] rapidtrades : noone axed u new

[2017-03-20 10:30:58] rapidtrades : rly? the sum of both coins? that's bullshit
[2017-03-20 10:31:47] datboiyuan : what would you expect?
[2017-03-20 10:31:55] rapidtrades : how does that even make sense?
[2017-03-20 10:32:01] datboiyuan : you know that statement says: "there will be no fork"
[2017-03-20 10:32:13] rapidtrades : datboiyuan: stop talking
[2017-03-20 10:32:24] datboiyuan : you're free to withdraw your coin
[2017-03-20 10:33:05] rapidtrades : doing everything to protect the newbs as usual
[2017-03-20 10:33:08] DorianWhack-A-Moto : datboiyuan: no you're free to withdraw the "minor" coin. withdraws on the other might be suspended
[2017-03-20 10:33:20] datboiyuan : I meant now
[2017-03-20 10:33:27] datboiyuan : dude it protects the network
[2017-03-20 10:33:27] rapidtrades : this is such bullshit
[2017-03-20 10:33:36] datboiyuan : its to prevent replay attacks you dunce
[2017-03-20 10:33:40] rapidtrades : making up rules as they go along
[2017-03-20 10:33:50] datboiyuan : yeah, just like the protocol
[2017-03-20 10:34:28] arbitrage101 : my english was never good
[2017-03-20 10:34:53] arbitrage101 : can anyone explain https://blog.bitmex.com/on-potential-post-fork-contract-settlement/
[2017-03-20 10:34:59] arbitrage101 : in simple english
[2017-03-20 10:35:21] j8 : basically, it's gonna be chaos
[2017-03-20 10:35:24] rapidtrades : means they wont follow their index and they will bail out the newbs when we crash
[2017-03-20 10:35:41] arbitrage101 : using vocabulary not higher than high shool level
[2017-03-20 10:35:46] rapidtrades : the sum of both coins could be 1200, 600 each
[2017-03-20 10:35:51] rapidtrades : this is major bs
[2017-03-20 10:36:31] arbitrage101 : i am going all cash then
[2017-03-20 10:37:50] j8 : and what happens when the swap switches index
[2017-03-20 10:38:00] arbitrage101 : yes
[2017-03-20 10:38:07] arbitrage101 : what if okc followed btu
[2017-03-20 10:38:16] arbitrage101 : and western exchanges the other one
[2017-03-20 10:38:23] j8 : you can't just switch the index without liquidating / adl'ing everyone
[2017-03-20 10:38:55] DorianWhack-A-Moto : "Perpetual swap contracts will be timed to switch underlying indices in tandem with a futures contract. Ample notice will be given. Like futures, the new index will reference only one chain."
[2017-03-20 10:39:30] DorianWhack-A-Moto : shit show i think
[2017-03-20 10:39:32] arbitrage101 : it is a perfect time to rename bitcoin

[2017-03-20 10:40:34] rapidtrades : wouldn't be surprised if all exchanges are pumping it behind the scenes
[2017-03-20 10:43:39] arbitrage101 : rapidtrades: world is full of chaos
[2017-03-20 10:43:48] arbitrage101 : no one can plan and predict what happen
[2017-03-20 10:44:24] Tetsuo : this solution feels weird
[2017-03-20 10:44:53] Tetsuo : only real USD will be safe
[2017-03-20 10:45:00] arbitrage101 : Tetsuo: yes
[2017-03-20 10:45:01] j8 : basically any solution is a bit weird. but i agree

[2017-03-20 10:49:17] REKT : Liquidated short on `XBTUSD`: buy 10000 @ 1038.28
[2017-03-20 10:49:17] j8 : if the future only followed one coin, that would wreck arbers. this is just a punch in the face for shorts
[2017-03-20 10:49:38] arbitrage101 : j8: you mean for long
[2017-03-20 10:49:50] DorianWhack-A-Moto : oh shit thought that rekt was me for a second lol

[2017-03-20 10:58:57] arbitrage101 : alt trading here was minimal
[2017-03-20 10:59:23] arbitrage101 : btc on the other hand, is a big deal here
