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.

You have access to more than 50 million trollbox posts. This is more than 7 gigabyte of data hosted on a $5 server so please be patient or consider a donation

[2024-03-06 21:17:35] zetLi : its gonna pop one of these mornings
[2024-03-06 21:18:24] doublecheese : Some of my shittiest shitcoins are kinda pumping right now. A little, but better than nothing
[2024-03-06 21:18:24] SphinxOfSpades : 🔥💩🔥 Goblin Town incomming
[2024-03-06 21:18:37] doublecheese : If we go to 30k I am utterly fucked
[2024-03-06 21:19:46] Kruithofb : SphinxOfSpades: nice trade m8
[2024-03-06 21:19:57] SphinxOfSpades : doublecheese: gimme a sec, entering order at 30k long now :D
[2024-03-06 21:20:17] Kruithofb : I put an order for 67250 but didnt hit
[2024-03-06 21:20:21] SphinxOfSpades : Kruithofb: thx :D
[2024-03-06 21:20:28] SphinxOfSpades : Kruithofb: ah damn
[2024-03-06 21:21:22] doublecheese : SphinxOfSpades: yea if we top up here 30k is on the cards. But I'll probably just panic close before
[2024-03-06 21:21:40] doublecheese : SphinxOfSpades: best thing would be to go spot long, but then I would make pennies
[2024-03-06 21:22:01] SphinxOfSpades : doublecheese: yeah its tough
[2024-03-06 21:22:08] SphinxOfSpades : im still in the red overall
[2024-03-06 21:23:16] RonnieREKT : 🔥 Liquidated short on `NEARUSDT`: Buy 100 NEAR @ 5.786 ($578.90)
[2024-03-06 21:23:26] doublecheese : SphinxOfSpades: I'm down a lot since I started trading in 2019. If I didn't trade and just bought I could have 1 btc now. Will never forgive myself for that.
[2024-03-06 21:23:48] ninnk : dont worry guys michael saylormoon will save us all https://prnt.sc/1FRMN6cJBWuq
[2024-03-06 21:23:55] SphinxOfSpades : doublecheese: i had 21 btc when i first started buying, had to sell them all to buy a car
[2024-03-06 21:24:10] SphinxOfSpades : that was in 16/17 or so
[2024-03-06 21:24:39] doublecheese : SphinxOfSpades: ouch sorry to hear that. That has been a very expensive car indeed
[2024-03-06 21:24:47] ninnk : SphinxOfSpades: ouch dude
[2024-03-06 21:25:10] SphinxOfSpades : doublecheese: fiat punto xD
[2024-03-06 21:25:15] Crazydodger : lol
[2024-03-06 21:25:26] Crazydodger : with a spoiler?
[2024-03-06 21:25:26] ninnk : fiat punto still faster than by foot
[2024-03-06 21:25:35] SphinxOfSpades : yeah, had to get to work somehow
[2024-03-06 21:25:35] laPanini : a paper car. :kek:
[2024-03-06 21:26:06] SphinxOfSpades : after that i just collected a lot of experience and lost a lot of money but now i am almost breakeven
[2024-03-06 21:26:08] Crazydodger : SphinxOfSpades: most expensive fiat punto ever
[2024-03-06 21:26:23] SphinxOfSpades : Crazydodger: xD
[2024-03-06 21:26:27] laPanini : prolly had good looking rims.
[2024-03-06 21:26:40] SphinxOfSpades : damn right
[2024-03-06 21:26:47] doublecheese : SphinxOfSpades: I'm almost break even too right now but the moment it dumps from here I'm again in the red :(
[2024-03-06 21:27:16] ninnk : i dont have much btc, but still more than i did last year
[2024-03-06 21:27:18] SphinxOfSpades : doublecheese: :-/
[2024-03-06 21:27:21] ninnk : so win?
[2024-03-06 21:27:31] BTCcheers : https://www.tradingview.com/x/qrUj5ypY/ bully tunnel support btc
[2024-03-06 21:27:33] SphinxOfSpades : in this market? for sure!
[2024-03-06 21:27:33] laPanini : doublecheese: just take profit, be in break even, start freshj.
[2024-03-06 21:27:52] laPanini : dont be greedy, it will rekt you in the end.
[2024-03-06 21:28:27] laPanini : profit is profit, no one has gone poor ever, by taking profit.
[2024-03-06 21:28:48] laPanini : unless they go and buy a fiat punto with a spoiler.
[2024-03-06 21:28:54] doublecheese : laPanini: dunno it surely is a good idea, but what if I miss out? My original plan was longer term than this, but bitcoin surprised me with such movement
[2024-03-06 21:28:55] SphinxOfSpades : xD
[2024-03-06 21:29:13] laPanini : doublecheese: then miss out... there is ALWAYS the next opportunity.
[2024-03-06 21:29:25] ninnk : laPanini: :)
[2024-03-06 21:29:26] SphinxOfSpades : doublecheese: longterm this thing will go up a LOT
[2024-03-06 21:29:54] ninnk : https://youtu.be/3A5cDESmAtg?list=LL
[2024-03-06 21:29:54] SphinxOfSpades : steady buying a bit and longing on low lev is probably a solid strategy
[2024-03-06 21:29:59] ninnk : turn it the fucc up
[2024-03-06 21:30:17] SphinxOfSpades : overall we are in a bulltrend @doublecheese
[2024-03-06 21:30:40] SphinxOfSpades : my targets are also far above 100k
[2024-03-06 21:30:57] doublecheese : laPanini: if this continues up there will be no good long entries anymore. Any entry is risky af. So the next opportunity should be a short, which I hate
[2024-03-06 21:31:01] laPanini : yeah, but he was talking about he is now in break even but if it goes down he will be rekt, so i just suggested taking profits might be a good idea, no one is forcing him to push the buttons. :)
[2024-03-06 21:31:11] laPanini : There will ALWAYS be the next good entry.
[2024-03-06 21:31:22] SphinxOfSpades : yes of course
[2024-03-06 21:31:37] doublecheese : SphinxOfSpades: that's what I do. Long low lev, but still scared at 1.30x
[2024-03-06 21:31:41] laPanini : First lesson in trading i learnt was, there is ALWAYS the next time.
[2024-03-06 21:32:07] SphinxOfSpades : everyday there is the trade of the century, thats how i remember it
[2024-03-06 21:32:14] laPanini : Compunding small profits over time, can be more profitable than trying to get the monster move.
[2024-03-06 21:32:25] ninnk : ^
[2024-03-06 21:32:25] SphinxOfSpades : and its true, everyday you can make huge trades if you want to
[2024-03-06 21:32:43] SphinxOfSpades : True True
[2024-03-06 21:32:48] laPanini : Indeed, thats my point.
[2024-03-06 21:33:10] laPanini : Marrying a position is never a good idea, been doing that alot in the last.
[2024-03-06 21:33:11] doublecheese : laPanini: yesterday short was easy, but happened so quick. Then 59k was a good long as well. You rarely see these % in so small timeframe
[2024-03-06 21:33:19] doublecheese : Obviously I missed both.
[2024-03-06 21:33:33] laPanini : doublecheese: they happen quite often yes.
[2024-03-06 21:33:40] zetLi : the balls, they need time to grow to market buy
[2024-03-06 21:34:55] SphinxOfSpades : whats funny is, if i didnt trade other assets too, i would already be net positive
[2024-03-06 21:35:14] laPanini : doublecheese: if you missed the drop, you get in on the rise. Two nice opportunities right there.
[2024-03-06 21:35:15] SphinxOfSpades : bitcoin usually works well, and then everything else turns to shit as soon as i touch it xD
[2024-03-06 21:35:35] ninnk : SphinxOfSpades: can you touch :pepe: real quick? 👀
[2024-03-06 21:35:46] SphinxOfSpades : i never trade alts, sorry :D
[2024-03-06 21:35:58] Crazydodger : yeah alts scam
[2024-03-06 21:36:02] laPanini : alts has sweet gains, but rarely on leverage.
[2024-03-06 21:36:03] SphinxOfSpades : yeah
[2024-03-06 21:36:10] SphinxOfSpades : long or short on alts, you can only lose
[2024-03-06 21:36:14] SphinxOfSpades : its playing against the house
[2024-03-06 21:36:14] doublecheese : laPanini: i'm not really marrying the position, it's just that when I opened, I wanted to keep it open until 2025 lol.
[2024-03-06 21:36:24] laPanini : buy them when they flatline, every 4 years, dump them and never look back when they are moving.
[2024-03-06 21:36:38] ninnk : i literally made 0.0001xbt yday on shorting pepe so pls :kek::kek::kek::kek:
[2024-03-06 21:36:41] laPanini : doublecheese: Sounds like a 1 year marriage to me sir.
[2024-03-06 21:36:53] doublecheese : SphinxOfSpades: what I wish I learned before is that btc is king, everything else a shitcoin
[2024-03-06 21:37:05] SphinxOfSpades : yeah
[2024-03-06 21:37:33] ninnk : imagine diversifying into crypto :kek:
[2024-03-06 21:37:45] ninnk : my friend did it, 3 or 4 of the "projects" died ahahah
[2024-03-06 21:37:57] SphinxOfSpades : xD
[2024-03-06 21:38:02] doublecheese : laPanini: kinda lol. I should be a hodler not a trader
[2024-03-06 21:38:10] SphinxOfSpades : bet the "projects" were highly successfull for the founders though
[2024-03-06 21:38:23] ninnk : they always are
[2024-03-06 21:38:31] doublecheese : laPanini: if only I weren't so damn poor I would just hodl
[2024-03-06 21:39:03] ninnk : bro this satanic range is starting to get boring
[2024-03-06 21:39:14] ninnk : can we get some :rollercoaster:s
[2024-03-06 21:39:30] SphinxOfSpades : ninnk: 15m looks juicy, just need to be patient!
[2024-03-06 21:40:15] SphinxOfSpades : and commence
[2024-03-06 21:40:22] SphinxOfSpades : 🔥💩🔥
[2024-03-06 21:40:31] doublecheese : SphinxOfSpades: @ninnk I diversified in 8 alt coins and not one overperformed BTC. NOT ONE. I surely did a good pick here
[2024-03-06 21:40:44] SphinxOfSpades : doublecheese: yeah, they cant
[2024-03-06 21:41:06] SphinxOfSpades : if they gain more its just pecause most people are short in them
[2024-03-06 21:41:09] ninnk : hmmm didnt eth do a 30x last bull tho?
[2024-03-06 21:41:18] ninnk : while btc did 8-10
[2024-03-06 21:41:21] SphinxOfSpades : well, eth is an exception
[2024-03-06 21:41:29] ninnk : or am i remembering thisngs wrong
[2024-03-06 21:41:32] SphinxOfSpades : its a bitcoin fork so it doesnt count
[2024-03-06 21:41:35] laPanini : doublecheese: poor has nothing to do with it really, it is possible to turn $100 to $100000 in just a few weeks.
[2024-03-06 21:41:37] SphinxOfSpades : same as LTC and BCH
[2024-03-06 21:41:57] laPanini : But you need to take profits along the way.
[2024-03-06 21:42:01] ninnk : bch :ultramegakek:
[2024-03-06 21:42:02] SphinxOfSpades : not sure if LTC is a fork or not, but at least its also decentralize
[2024-03-06 21:42:03] SphinxOfSpades : d
[2024-03-06 21:42:23] SphinxOfSpades : and ofcourse doge is okay too, just problematic design
[2024-03-06 21:42:30] doublecheese : laPanini: is that it? The secret is just taking profits? :D
[2024-03-06 21:42:39] laPanini : LTC is a fork of Bitcoin, with the Scrypt algorithm instead of SHA256, LTC is the first of its algorithm.
[2024-03-06 21:42:51] SphinxOfSpades : thanks, so yeah, there you go
[2024-03-06 21:43:18] laPanini : It is a fork of the bitcoin source, not the blockchain, there is a difference.
[2024-03-06 21:43:28] SphinxOfSpades : so true panini
[2024-03-06 21:43:39] doublecheese : SphinxOfSpades: doge inflation is worrying. That's why I sold it. Obv it pumped after I sold lol
[2024-03-06 21:43:50] SphinxOfSpades : in 2022 i turned 127 dorrahs into 160k$ and then rekt
[2024-03-06 21:43:54] SphinxOfSpades : so it is all possible
[2024-03-06 21:43:59] laPanini : Doge is a fork of the LTC source, with its own blockchain running the Scrypt algorithm.
[2024-03-06 21:44:13] SphinxOfSpades : done similar swings multiple times
[2024-03-06 21:44:40] SphinxOfSpades : mostly from 100$ up 1000$ entry tickets turning them to 20k$ ish and then rekting
[2024-03-06 21:44:46] laPanini : BCH on the other hand is a fork of both the code AND the blockchain and is sharing the first 200000 or so blocks.
[2024-03-06 21:45:12] ninnk : bch :kek:
[2024-03-06 21:45:23] SphinxOfSpades : laPanini: yeah i actually got a few BCHs back then from the fork
[2024-03-06 21:45:28] laPanini : ninnk: BSV is the real BCH sir.
[2024-03-06 21:45:58] doublecheese : So do you guys think we topped out?
[2024-03-06 21:46:10] laPanini : This was from back in the day when I actually cared about what different coins did and came from, nowdays, i just dgaf.
[2024-03-06 21:46:30] zetLi : bmex is the real bcash
[2024-03-06 21:46:32] SphinxOfSpades : i think we need to make big hodlers believe it, so we can break ath @doublecheese
[2024-03-06 21:46:42] SphinxOfSpades : at what point they belive it though? no clue
[2024-03-06 21:46:49] SphinxOfSpades : guess once you hit that sell button
[2024-03-06 21:47:21] ninnk : you know the story. you buy: :bog:. you sell: :bog:
[2024-03-06 21:47:25] ninnk : every. single. time. :D
[2024-03-06 21:47:51] doublecheese : SphinxOfSpades: lol. So true
[2024-03-06 21:48:55] laPanini : SphinxOfSpades: i got as many BCH as I had Bitcoins, and I sold on that initial pump, and after that bch never fully recovered.
[2024-03-06 21:49:10] doublecheese : laPanini: I am proud bch wholecoiner sir. Only 21 million bch ever sir. If every millionaire wanted a bch they could not have it sir
[2024-03-06 21:49:11] laPanini : It was actually one of the biggest airdrops ever received.
[2024-03-06 21:49:26] SphinxOfSpades : laPanini: yeah i did the same back then
[2024-03-06 21:49:28] SphinxOfSpades : was kinda nice
[2024-03-06 21:49:36] laPanini : I stay as far away as I possibly can from BCH and BSV.
[2024-03-06 21:49:49] SphinxOfSpades : only alt i would even consider buying is ETH
[2024-03-06 21:50:01] SphinxOfSpades : but i simply prefer BTC
[2024-03-06 21:50:19] laPanini : I own pretty much everything i think.
[2024-03-06 21:50:54] laPanini : One day they will pop, and I will look and say "hey wait, i got a few of that one". -profit.
[2024-03-06 21:51:21] SphinxOfSpades : i like your optimism
[2024-03-06 21:51:28] SphinxOfSpades : xD
[2024-03-06 21:51:28] Fund Sucker : I had the equivalent of 17 BTC when bch split happened. Didn't get coins as it was all in ETP 🫣
[2024-03-06 21:51:31] SphinxOfSpades : :kek:
[2024-03-06 21:51:53] laPanini : SphinxOfSpades: lol, its just like $2-500 in each.
[2024-03-06 21:51:55] zetLi : hahaha i remember the etp pump
[2024-03-06 21:52:02] laPanini : its peanut money sir. :)
[2024-03-06 21:52:09] SphinxOfSpades : :-)
[2024-03-06 21:52:13] zetLi : that one whale who hoarded all of the leverage on finex
[2024-03-06 21:52:36] laPanini : I rarely trade perps with bigger margin as well, because perps I do because of fun, not to profit.
[2024-03-06 21:52:51] laPanini : ah well, profit too of course, but yeah you get it.
[2024-03-06 21:54:11] doublecheese : Well taking profits here would mean I already did a 4x. Tempted. Bitcoin will likely do a 3x from here so even spot would be decent
[2024-03-06 21:54:23] doublecheese : AND I could open new positions at dips
[2024-03-06 21:55:14] laPanini : Indeed you could and you would sleep well at nights too.
[2024-03-06 21:55:15] SphinxOfSpades : doublecheese: nice
[2024-03-06 21:55:38] laPanini : Waking up and rekting 500k is NOT fun.
[2024-03-06 21:57:01] doublecheese : laPanini: I never ever seen 500k my whole life. Not even 20k. Just to know what I mean by "poor" :)
[2024-03-06 21:57:29] doublecheese : But I am not complaining as long as I can afford a meal everyday
[2024-03-06 21:57:31] laPanini : doublecheese: Take what you have, and then waking up to see it rekt, its not fun.
[2024-03-06 21:58:28] doublecheese : laPanini: well to get REKT we should go to 30k and I shouldn't close before, so...
[2024-03-06 21:58:41] doublecheese : Another strategy could be to put a SL at breakeven
[2024-03-06 21:58:41] laPanini : If you have little, your first thing would be survival, to survive until the next trade. Make sure to always stay liquid so you can get the best entries, the exists is not as important.
[2024-03-06 21:59:01] laPanini : If youre no longer liquid, you cannot open the next trade, game over.
[2024-03-06 21:59:06] ninnk : 630 usd = 20k turkish lira
[2024-03-06 21:59:08] ninnk : easy 20k
[2024-03-06 21:59:12] laPanini : lol
[2024-03-06 21:59:15] ninnk : follow me for more tips and tricks
[2024-03-06 21:59:31] laPanini : sold!
[2024-03-06 22:00:47] doublecheese : laPanini: true. But you rarely get good entries. Good entry was 15k, 38k and 43k. Every other entry was in FOMO so too risky
[2024-03-06 22:01:04] laPanini : This might actually go to the bottom of the range before continuing up, i would say, down to half the wick on the 30 min candle from yesterday as a possible low point, unless it starts getting some momentum real soon.
[2024-03-06 22:01:25] laPanini : doublecheese: Those are ultimate entries, there is a difference, good entries are always at the lows.
[2024-03-06 22:01:42] laPanini : "to state the obvious".
[2024-03-06 22:02:43] laPanini : usually right below the range is usually an awesome entry, or if we are ultrabullish, slightly above the low of the range.
[2024-03-06 22:02:58] laPanini : But hey, im a bread, i know absolutely nothing. :)
[2024-03-06 22:03:10] laPanini : Don't listen to talking breads.
[2024-03-06 22:03:57] doublecheese : laPanini: as always, the bread is wise and gives sound advices ;)
[2024-03-06 22:04:13] doublecheese : laPanini: are you out of pos right now?
[2024-03-06 22:04:23] laPanini : yeah im in no position right now.
[2024-03-06 22:04:42] laPanini : the zone is to wildcardy for me.
[2024-03-06 22:04:46] SphinxOfSpades : laPanini: thats the real pro move
[2024-03-06 22:05:00] SphinxOfSpades : totally, this is absolut rekt Zone
[2024-03-06 22:05:17] SphinxOfSpades : but at the same time its also where you can make bank in short time
[2024-03-06 22:05:26] buybitcoin_btc : SphinxOfSpades: am I in husky guild? because it still says "requested"
[2024-03-06 22:05:28] doublecheese : laPanini: so you may buy higher if we break ath?
[2024-03-06 22:05:33] laPanini : I will either look for a long at the low of the range, or miss out.
[2024-03-06 22:05:45] SphinxOfSpades : buybitcoin_btc: do you have the husky chat tab next to trollbox?
[2024-03-06 22:05:51] SphinxOfSpades : might have to relogin
[2024-03-06 22:06:14] laPanini : doublecheese: No, or yes, its relative, i would look to buy the retest of the breakout which technically is higher, but lower than the high point.
[2024-03-06 22:06:27] buybitcoin_btc : no but the husky next to my name in chat that's why i am confused
