rg: we have to wait for it to hit the floor
mircea_popescu: expect a lot of scam assets to be propped up with a deluge of easy money.

nefario: I'm not a trader
gabbynot: nefario: any assets on glbse that take advantage of shorting BTC?
assbot: Invalid ticker.
nefario: he's finally figured out where the sell button is
Doffx: I think he paid investors and they are cashing out
Doffx: I dont think pirate is cashing out anything
mircea_popescu: which really, they prolly should do in that circumstance.
mircea_popescu: and the "investors" can shoto themselves
mircea_popescu: the logical explanation here is : pirate is cashing out, by monday his wires have gone through
mircea_popescu: pirate investoers by that very definition have no btc to sell.
mircea_popescu: and you'll end up with a higher price in the end.
dub: or the market is just correcting the price to last months value
mircea_popescu: im pretty sure if you have 200k and want 300k, if you firesale your 200k the 300k will cost more than what 100k would have cost.
nefario: isn't that very much 1 step back 1&1/2 forward?
nefario: crashing the price to be able to buy them back cheaper
mircea_popescu: well, we're in the red two days of 200k each
kakobrekla: the trick is he must only trigger the downfall
kakobrekla: even if he is manipulating the price
mircea_popescu: sooo... pirate has officially run out of bitcoins, that right ?
