The rise does seem to coincide w/ SR closing. They were pretty steady in the low 100's, but after that fiasco went down it's been going up and up. Idgi.

I’m out of investing for the moment because I’ve spent all my capital and have no means of employment, but if I had capital I’d buy the shit out of bitcoin now and on any future drop. It is here to stay and will exist for another century and appreciate several hundred fold. 10% of your speculative portfolio should be in bitcoin.

My brother claims to have some kind of script that automatically buys and sells bitcoin on all four exchanges based on the "subtle" movements that it makes every day and is constantly reinvesting in itself. He says he's made thousands off it already. This can't really be true, can it? If such a thing were really profitable, wouldn't there be a thousand people (or one guy with a thousand computers) doing this already?

I don't doubt the fact that you can make money that way but rather the idea that this hasn't reached bitcoin-mining levels of inefficiency a long time ago. If he's making "thousands of dollars" running one script surely there are thousands of others running similar ones?
― frogbs, Thursday, 21 November 2013 18:45 (ten years ago) link
sure but instead of running a script he could just buy bitcoins and that would work to, making money in a bull market is easy
― lag∞n, Thursday, 21 November 2013 18:46 (ten years ago) link
Frogs if what he's doing is taking advantage of price differences between the exchanges then yes it is possible and in fact there is literally trillions of dollars invested in the practice at this moment

― 乒乓, Thursday, 21 November 2013 18:49 (ten years ago) link
It requires a lot of capital to really be worth it though and he is at the risk of having his entire position wiped out by either 1) an error in his script or 2) the freefall nature of speculative investments
― 乒乓, Thursday, 21 November 2013 18:51 (ten years ago) link
it sounds like it's more just working off the wild fluctuations in pricing and probably what makes it viable is a completely unregulated trading market without (significant) transaction fees, i'm guessing
― sleepingbag, Thursday, 21 November 2013 18:52 (ten years ago) link
Transaction fees would be hindrance, for sure
The other possibility is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-frequency_trading
― 乒乓, Thursday, 21 November 2013 18:53 (ten years ago) link
yeah it could be arbitrage (I used to do a similar thing in sportsbetting and yeah you can accidently go broke quick) but he also claims he didn't invest anything into it, something seems odd about it
still this stuff is pretty fascinating. A complete crash seems inevitable at some point. The potential for fraud is through the roof with these things.
