    I said sure, but you gotta leave forever if they're big.

    BTW, my BSD hedge fund-- I'm the poorest of us-- my sizes are tiny compared to it. I just handle the trading, they've put their money with me. So if I do show you and @jbasket, and it's big swinging dick hedge fund size....y'all both gotta leave and realize it's not my money. It's our money.

    If we're talking about me strictly. I'd play up to maybe 125k cash, maybe. I was more around the 100k tops. No way am I, myself, a whale on my own....absolutely no way lol. There's somebody in this thread alone who swings more than I do individually that I know of.

    But with I'm given to play with, yeah, absolutely I feel I'm a whale. I've already shown(on GDAX at least), i can move LTC. Not so much ETH, but definitely LTC.

    This thread has become homoerotic.
    It feels a bit like bitcoin. i dont get it all the way.. and frankly it makes me uneasy.

    If I can get a few more bitcoins.. maybe just maybe I can make it to world 8-4

    Yeah no ****. I also documented my original $7,500-$10,000 showing in BTC prior to the release, my 8-10 LTC plays. I've said before my limits, but again, I'm not handling MY money only. I've got 10 others; and these guys are poker players, VCs, one's an athlete. My share is VERY small. Our share is whale territory.

    And anyone asking about taxes, we're putting 45% aside. Overly conservative, at least this is what I've recommended. Anything extra gets divided as we agreed to.

    There's a guy on this forum, and who has posted in this thread, that isn't a "whale", but alone moves a near million dollars in this space. Why is he on this forum?

    What a dumb ****ing statement. It's cause we're egotistical people who like platforms, you don't need ****ing Sherlock to find that out for you.

    Tell him to say who he is so we can celebrate. If true I think its awesome good job. It would make you look more legit too..

    But to brag? On a basketball bbs is so weak it makes EVERYTHING else you say look like dog ****.

    I will admit I havent bought one hay penny of a bit coin. I dont own anything. Better you than me bucko.

    As an innocent bystander i think those that have made money on these shenanigans.. its like good for them! American pickers you found the old copy of an original thomas kinkade. You da man.

    Past that f*uck you for sucking so bad

    I'm not buying back a ton, but there's really no reason BTC would just drop off the cliff and lose all value overnight unless I missed some major news/revelation. Bitcoin has its issues it needs to address, but in big picture anyone holding before the month is still up.

    The difference between you and him is he never mentioned his #s public (and I know who you're talking about). You are the only one on CF who has the desperate need for attention.

    Again, on a basketball board where nobody gives a F.

    Again, if you wake up and see all your money gone. Be okay with that.

    That's your floor and be okay with it.

    That you included him in the "egoistical persons who like platforms".
    You are the only one here talking about the size of your stack in front of everyone.

    I never said he is. I said I am, and referred to Ver.

    And admitted by myself im no whale, heck I'm not the biggest here.

    Don't know where you're going with this. Go sit in the corner.
