It's November 2, 17. BTC just kissed $7.4k. I'm thinking it will confirm there soon. I have no clue what alt coins are going to do. Don't FOMO here. The gains are mostly made. Expect slight increase but mostly sideways action for about a month, then a pullback. I'm basing this theory off the current action mimic of mid-August.
I won't tell you whether to short BTC, but I'm definitely getting cash ready to buy that dip.
Great content

@reet : This comment is for your benefit so you don't find others downvoting or flagging you.
I have noticed that you have made a number of very short comments on other blogs, which are similar in style to the one above. They don’t really add anything to the discussion of the topic.
Please help keep Steemit free of spam posts.
If you like a post, it is generally sufficient to upvote it unless you want to join in the debate.
You didn’t even bother to upvote this blogger.
Short comments like “awesome”, “nice post” “amazing post”, “really helpful”, “nice blog bro” or “thanks for sharing” are generally not seen as part of the debate on the topic ,and if repeated across multiple posts, may be interpreted as spam. You seem to be repeating the same kind of comment on many blogs, without any mention of the subject matter.
This kind of behavour looks like spam and you risk others interpreting it that way and flagging you.
Another thing to be careful of is asking other people to upvote or follow. This is also counter-productive and irritating. Asking for upvotes and follows is against Steemit etiquette. Some users may downvote, mute, or flag you if you do this.
Downvotes or flags can lower your reputation, can result in the removal of rewards, and may result in your posts not being seen by others.
Don’t worry, I haven’t flagged or downvoted you. I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt that you were genuinely trying to encourage the poster. An upvote would have been sufficient.
I often reward intelligent comments. I have a lot of Steempower. A 100% upvote from me is worth hundreds of times a normal upvote. I hope I can reward you for intelligent and thought provoking posts in the future. Good luck in your future posts!
(Other bloggers, please let me know whether you agree or disagree with my comment. If you disagree, feel free to upvote the person who left the short comment, as I won’t be doing so.)

For a minute I considered just replying "Great comment!" (Because I can be a smart ass sometimes.) But to avoid having that misinterpreted, I figured it's best to just mention that, as the OP, comments like "awesome" feel a little better than getting ghosted by the network. There is a lot of garbage on every social media site (including this one) that for some reason gets attention. So when I put some talent and effort into a post and no one replies, it sucks. Up votes are better than nothing. And short generic comments seem better than that.
All this being said, a rising tide raises all ships. So your guidance on what type of comments add value to the network and which ones don't is appreciated. Is there a comprehensive guide from Steemit on what is encouraged and what is not?

Hi @tylr, I should have written “great post” to you as well, because it was good. Having said that, you got my vote which is the same thing.
I am not sure if we will ever clean steemit of useless spam-comments. It reminds me of the early 1990s when we were trying to stop spam email. There comes a point when the tide is just too big to build a wall.
Don’t worry you risked nothing by writing “Great comment”. Whilst some people might not see the joke, I do - or ignore it if in doubt. I also always look at history to determine if it is habitual spam or a genuine sentiment.
As for a guide, I anm not sure which if any is supposed to be the definitive one. Hovever, doing a search for “etiquette on steemit” will bring up many guides and discussions. There is more than one opinion as to what is acceptable or not - a good example is people who post Twitter-like links to external news stories without original thought or commentary. If you read the discussions, you will get a good feel of what most people think.
