RE: Is Haejin accurate ?
I can't, for the life of me, figure out why there is so much animosity towards @Haejin. If markets are truly a representation of human sentiment and psychology - as it certainly appears that they are - then even more valuable than someone pushing coins and offering chart opinions is someone who can steady the ship of emotions. I find that Haejin's analyses encompass an element of psychology and even spirituality that helps to build confidence in a wild, wild market.
Yes, for sure, an unprecedented bull run in a relatively new market can make most things look shiny and profitable, but his candor about past failures and willingness to teach based on his 20 years of experience make him a valuable contributor to Steemit. I know that I have learned a lot about chart pattern recognition and am now able to do basic analysis on my own. This is extremely valuable to me.
If there is a problem with the allotment of rewards, I really think it is a fault of the system. I see no indication of him being ruthless and exploiting this platform intentionally. If he is posting multiple updates and whales are upvoting it, so be it. Isn't that their choice to make? If there is supposed to be a maximum number of posts within 24 hours, then maybe there should actually be a limit built into the system, where you can't actually post if you have exceeded it.
I just find it upsetting that things have gotten so contentious and I wish the best for everyone.
@anarchrysalis this is the best comment I've read on this ridiculously out of control situation. You covered it ALL in four paragraphs, with the last one a perfect reflection of how I feel as well. I would upvote this $100 if I could. Well said sir!
Thanks so much. I am really trying to stay above the fray and just be reasonable. I understand that people are on Steemit for different reasons and I think there's room for everyone, but that people should be left to their own devices if they are not harming or insulting anyone. I sense no malice from Haejin.
The simple truth is that Haejin's analysis has impacted my portfolio in a massively positive way, and I promise to use some of this new wealth to create resilience in my community and support some of the more vulnerable members of it. I really feel a sense of obligation to share and try to do even more good and I think a big part of that feeling is a result of the generosity that Haejin has displayed.
My involvement in cryptocurrency has really changed my view of money from that of being a burden to that of being a powerful tool that can be yielded to create big impacts. My hope is that this wealth transfer that is underway is going to give many more of my fellow warriors for justice some better means to fight the good fight and improve the human condition.
People may think technical analysis is hokey or whatever and that fundamentals are important, but if you ascribe to the idea of TA and sentiment driving price which then drives the news, then Haejin is clearly quite skilled in this field. A master, if you will.
Then, when you have a coin with a great TA that you also believe has great fundamentals (ahem, bitshares!), then wow, I think you've got a real winner on your hand.
And then, off we go. This is not what I thought the revolution was going to look like, and I am sure there will be many changing phases as we break the shackles of oppression. But I remain open to unusual opportunities and pledge to continue to spread love, peace and knowledge to my fellow humans.
Blessings to you all!
BTS is a great project. I was in early in the summer. But he has called out several explosions on BTS (and iota, BTC, NEO, I can keep going all day) and they all failed. No one cared during the bull run, and i dont blame them. Even if his calls were wrong and you made 150% vs the 200% he called, who cares right?
I posted that i disagreed and he went back and flagged every post I had a pending payout for.
I spoke out against suggestion bitconnect was a good investment - again flagged and lost all pending payouts.
He is bad for this platform because he is against any type of discussion. It is HIS way or be flagged to death. The sad part is he made a boatload of money this year alone, and his calls have been terrible. I made the right call and told everyone to sell the 1st week of January, I get $0, have my rep destroyed, but the worst part is my comments are hidden, so those correct calls were not seen by many.
The sad thing is he plays the victim card when he is the bully.
Completely agree with you on this.
He exploits it. He receives $300 worth or rewards before his content can even be viewed (ie 20 min video and rewards within 1 min of posting). It is the same people he supports and it is just one massive circle jerk.
But going beyond that, he censors anyone that challenges him. I spoke out about the BTC downturn at the beginning of the year - I get flagged. I call him out for suggestion alts are going to "explode" while his on BTC is showing a massive correction - I get flagged. So in that say 3-4 weeks span where he was brutally wrong and was at a massive loss he received 10's of thousands in payouts, while people like myself got $0 because he flagged us enough to lose rewards. We were right, he was wrong. Does that mean he needs to share rewards or I deserve a bunch of money, NO, but it does prove that his flags were unwarranted (they weren't even if i was wrong, I wasnt being rude or insulting him at the time).
I finally got my rep back up to 40 after him and Starjuno destroy it. I disagree with what he is doing to the platform - again back to -1 rep for me.
Then even further, he has the friggin nerve to play the victims card in his blog about how people flag him. Yet he goes and flags minnows to death for anything that goes against his TA. He even was in a thread complaining about someones $15 rewards because it was spam. Meanwhile he posted a nearly identical BTC chart a several times over a couple days for over $1,000.
Thank-you for sharing. I think that part of the confusion comes the distinction of what is an inherent pattern versus what is an emerging pattern. In my opinion, speaking about emerging patterns as if they were inherent patterns can lead to confusion. Where are the inherent patterns on a day like today? Is Haejin making less growth predictions today and why is he not posting on inherent patterns of the decline? I look forward to following more on this and the meta analysis of @haejin (will this meta-analysis have any patterns?) : where are the patterns?
I was one of the many calling him out for the explosion of alt posts he had around new years and going into January. It was only after dozens of us challenged him about it that he finally stopped posting about explosions.
Of course, for me being right - He flagged me to death which is why i am now sitting at -1 for the second time in a few months.
