Takeoff!!! Hang on to your coins, we are about to break through the stratosphere!!!



"We" gonna 80x this one?  go bitcoin go

The gods of luck say no. Smiley

Hahahahahaha...   I say GREAT!!! 

Maintain your reason and don't get too greedy.  We can get rich in bitcoin without any stinky 80x...

go bitcoin go.!!!

I’ll settle for a modest 10 - 20 x increase JJG Wink

Exactamente!!!!!

Who needs 80x when 10-20x will make an already decent amount of Richie?

On the other hand, NOT going to complain if 80x comes.

I'm calling Bitcoin post count parity some time in 2024. Whether that Bitcoin be BTC, BCH, or SV is an open question.

I think the next FOMO pile-in is going to make evident to the world the weaknesses of the Core-ian approach to scaling. The other forks (hewing more closely to Satoshi's inspired design) will be there to pick up the slack.

Incidentally, while BTC is up 14+% in the last 24 hours, BCH is up over 27% in the same time frame.

Yes, SV is lagging at 11+%. ::sigh::

Oh my fucking god.  You are either sick or delusional to still be having those kinds of illusions of grandeur in respect to those two shitty-ass bcash projects.

Still unanswered: How LN is going to help when Layer 1 is already clogged to the point of uselessness.

We will cross that bridge when we get there.  

I have decent confidence regarding whatever developments are taking place on bitcoin and its various layer 2 solutions.

For example, it seems to me that there is no need to build a 200 lane road for 2 lanes of usage, and therefore bitcoin is likely to continue to adequately grow as its usage grows.

In other words, Bitcoin is doing fine in terms of various preparations that combine layer 1 and layer 2 and of course, continued ongoing development that is beyond the ability of many laypersons to understand their significances, but both layer 1 and layer 2 developments continue in bitcoin, so I am not sure why you want to keep pumping your bcash crap as if it provided some kind of meaningful/technical advancement over bitcoin when bcash variants are mere ongoing sham-scam attack vector projects... that are largely smoke and mirrors imitations rather than innovative developments.

When page parity?

Dunno.

I'm shooting for post count parity some time in 2024.

Whoaza, jbreher... that is a pretty damned conservative timeline, but hey I don't have any problem(s) with either conservative thinking or preparing for conservative outcomes.

Post count.

We get page count next year.


ok ok ok... I hate when I have to admit that you were right... especially, in recent times, you jbreher.



But, yeah, you were right and I misread your earlier post (the page/post mix-up).

Is one last retarded alt pump too much to ask?

I swear to trod the narrow path from here on.
 

There are NOT too many of us, even here, who believe that the altcoins (shitcoins) are dead.  I, personally, have spouted out several times that I expect many of the altcoins to come along for at least on more pump, and I have NOT been dissuaded of that opinion. 

On the other hand, even if many of us here are inclined to believe that at least one more altcoin (shitcoin) pump is going to happen, there is no real reason to discuss it here, nor to even imply that they are being monitored, unless there is some kind fo connection made to what is going on in bitcoin's price performance dynamics.

That's ridiculous, and hopefully nothing like that passes.. it seems overly draconian, and would cause a need to counter-adjust in a lot of other areas..

Huh?   Is that person "Tai Zen" known as "Parabolic Trav"?  Because I just quoted that tweet in another thread.. maybe I made a mistake to quote a troll/shill? that I should attempt to clarify before I get my nuts handed to me in a paper bag ?   Shocked Shocked

No, it just seemed like that guy's quote could apply to Parabolic Trav. His bitch ass just reappeared today

https://twitter.com/parabolictrav

O.k.. fair enough.. I liked the Tai Zen quote, and I have only heard about Parabolic Trav in passing, so I don't know too much about that character.. except impressions that I have gotten from the opinions of others.

It is actually entirely up to you JJG.

Which part is "up to me"?  The way I think?

By the way, I did notice that I had misread jbreher's statement, so my response in that particular instance is not very accurate, anyhow.

JP Morgan eyes Bakkt (and ICE) infrastructure ​as easy on-ramp​ for crypto exposure.

Quote
Bakkt is the only place we’d approach Bitcoin and the crypto space. Any and all other ‘set ups’ just don’t rise to the legal standard that is acceptable risk for us. Bakkt is the only place that passes that test. Whether we are there as soon as the door opens, or window shop for a few months, it is the only name we are considering in terms of client funds finding their way into crypto

Hang this sign up next to anything that JP Morgan says.

JJG: "Hold my beer."

That seems so much of an insider joke, and I don't even get it - even while a named participant in the hypothetical.   Embarrassed




Even if I might not have responded... I did start to get it after I saw these two below posts from Globb0 and v8.

I don't want to say we are out of the woods yet... but let's just take a minute of silence for the good guys that were left at the bottom.

And just fucking stop for a little while, this is going too fast too soon!

Give the people time to onboard at each station FFS

Fuck those no coiners, bitcoin doubters and fence sitters.  That's my "lovey dovey" sentiment, currently.

If anyone needs persuading that the bottom is in, look at that volume.  Second highest green candle since October 2017.  




You are my kind of guy, gal, or thingie-ma-jiggie, harry-used-to-be-bearie because, in part, you are referencing bitstamp...

Fuck your stupid-ass charts.  I am going to assert (without charts) that the next resistance is in the $6,200 to $6,500 arena (I know it is a broad range, but I can do what I like)... and I believe it will be difficult to get above that without a battle or at least some kind of meaningful correction.. but what the fuck do I know?    Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy

$6420.. Smiley

For the moment, I am starting to like you Hueristic... right within the range - and even on the higher side of such range gives you bonus points.   Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy

I know which of those two assets I’d rather have

Fucking heavy to lug that shit around... especially if traveling.  My bones are hurting already, just thinking about it.

That’s why you have a PA

I still don't want such burdens... and fuck, I am thinking that I might need to learn some more technical issues regarding safeguarding my BTC.. and maybe better ways are going to be found.. even though the BIP39 seedwords seem good to take BTC anywhere.. and very light, too... even if I might have to split them up into various wallet types, just to be more careful.



I know which of those two assets I’d rather have
Same. Pretty obvious.

I'd take the gold bar so I could melt it, short it, and then buy some Bitcoin.

It's not that easy... 25 pounds or 11.34 kilograms... Not very light.

That is certainly NOT conservative, and it is so far into the future, I have difficulties determining if it is reasonable.   Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy Wink Wink  

I mean... holy fuck... projecting that this thread will stay alive for 20 years ?

My gawd!!!!! We had not "run our course?"  I might not even be able type by then, and my likely raspy voice will be clear enough for sensible dictation.   Shocked Shocked
14960  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: April 03, 2019, 02:35:37 AM
We all know that anything (literally anything) can happen in bitcoinlandia - within an hour, we can either get a nice green $1k candle or a dark red $1k candle. We've seen it before and we should definitely be ready to see it again.

You might be saying anything could happen, which is partly true, but a BIGGER truth is that some outcomes are more likely than other outcomes, and people are going to differ in their speculations regarding what is more likely or less likely ... otherwise, everyone could just agree on $1million per bitcoin, and we could be done with it.. but that is NOT going to happen.

However, the reason why I quote that wild guess, again & again after each pump, is to enjoy a new value of odds that is a little more closer to 100%, and I guess that it makes everybody around feel a bit better.

Even  if odds might be moving in your favor, I would not even come close to concluding that the whole ballgame has changed, because the changing of odds do not tend to happen so dramatically absent some kind of major event.. and our short squeeze from yesterday (that may be continuing into today and beyond) has not yet risen to enough of event beyond tweaking the odds a bit into your favor... which  ends up being a BIG "so what?" rather than some kind of trigger to cause more happiness..

In fact, if you attempt to describe inflated expectations, then you are likely to increase the likelihood of people feeling bad, rather than better.  Hopefully, you have heard of the concept of maintaining and spreading low expectations, and therefore, when the situation over delivers, then surplus happiness comes from those kinds of outcomes.

Imagine looking at these posts after a few years, when the probability of going below $3900 will actually be close to zero; it'd be pure pleasure.

Actually, you are correct.  There will come a point in which going below $3,900 becomes a very low possibility, just like sub $1k currently fits into that formula... Of course, sub $1k is NOT impossible, but it is pretty damned low on the scale of possible outcomes.

Some nice progress has already been made in the last few days... From:

less than 25% arena

to:

maybe we are getting close to the 50/50 arena..


My state of mind should not be considered as much of a barometer, except perhaps for myself to decide the extent to which I might make some adjustments to my BTC strategies - or other adjustments in life that I might consider making.

BTW, I don't think that we're close to that 50/50 arena yet. If I were you, I'd call it 50/50 once we break above ~$5700. But then again, it's all pure speculation... This thread is all about speculation anyways.

Of course, people are going to come to differing numbers, and nuances are not likely to make much if any substantive differences.  I have not come out of my consideration that we remain in a bear market... and merely breaking above $5,700 would not be enough for me.  my parameters for getting out of a bear market have not changed very much in the past couple of months, even if the current price performance has changed, and I remain encouraged and enthusiastic regarding our lovely surprise price movements of the past 24 hours or so.

NO matter what we should be preparing for both up and down, if you don't want to end up being disappointed, even if your "never below $3,900 again" dart-throwing sorcery-wannabe pronouncement ends up coming true.   Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy

Well, let's just hope that it does come true! Smiley

You would find no complaining from me, if below $3,900 were to ever occur again, and in fact, it would be kind of nice to se the bitcoin naysayers, fence sitters and the no coiners to be forced to buy BTC at a higher price than they were expecting.
