The price didn't move concurrently with first halving; it much more closely matched the shipment of gen1 avalons. It is impossible to separate the influence of first halving from the influence of asic miners.
Concurrency - or Fisher-Price relationships for ages 1-3. |

Yes, looks positive. Once the fee is taken off, and losses are accounted for, winning bettors should receive the majority of their funds back.

Lol Bitcoiners had a "good" day after all the agony that's still ahead and like to pick a bad day based on fake news, the price is already recovering and should touch 0.03 again during the weekend. We'll see where BTC and ETH are by the end of the year...
lol good luck with that. I have a target of around 0.016-0.018 for this. You sure about that? I bought at the bottom today and I'll buy at those numbers too. Yesterday was another pathetic attempt to make Bitcoin happen. Now the price of BTC plummeted again, something nobody talks about... I don't care if we don't see 0.03 in the next days, we'll eventually (and much more), maybe in a month. But one thing I know is for sure, Bitcoin will be back to sub $400 very very soon. Of course I'm not sure - but I have a higher level of confidence in it than other estimates. I have smaller buys higher up the book as well (in fact, one got filled today), but that's where I'm centering the majority of my bids. If I see that 0.02 is holding, I will re-evaluate. Well done if you bought at the bottom today, though I am sure you have bought in higher already given that you considered it to be recovering previously and that .025-028 was a great price to get in. Regarding Bitcoin, folk probably don't talk about its movements here because this is the alt section. |

Are you willing to take their word for it? lol, no. I think there's a fair chance this is an exit scam. This is why a decentralized betting platform like Augur will be so much better. There's no way for the owner to abscond with all of the funds. Other thread on forum discussing this: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1383537 |

What are your thoughts on this mysterious re-broadcasting of a week-old transaction? Who could be behind this type of attack? Double-spending in the Bitcoin world is becoming a very rare occurrence, but that doesn’t mean it is impossible to pull off this type of attack. BitBet, an online gambling platform, fell victim to such an attack earlier today as a result of several of their transactions not being included in the Bitcoin Node mempool. This entire situation is sparking a lot of debate and conspiracy theories as to why one particular transaction was broadcasted twice on the network, although it is rather a stretch to claim malicious intent at this stage. http://bitcoinist.net/bitbet-falls-victim-to-strange-bitcoin-double-spend-behavior/. There is no Chinese cabal. They sent a transaction with 0 fees - what did they think was going to happen? In further news, looks like they've now gone in to receivership over the matter. |

You don't seem to understand how this process works. Obviously you are allowed to mention it to a certain degree as long as you mostly stay on topic. However, in your case your post has nothing to do with either Bitcoin or the topic (I assume). Keep in mind that moderators can't keep track of every post as well.
You might consider moving or closing the thread, rather than arbitrarily deleting posts in the pretence that the Wall Observer has a topic. |

Altcoin discussions shouldn't be in Bitcoin boards.
Would you like me to run a program to compile a list of the hundreds of contributions containing the terms ETH, Ether or Ethereum from that thread for you? I can help you sterilize your forum. |

Perhaps somebody might explain what is wrong with this post that it requires deletion from the Wall Observer Thread. Do you have fructose intolerance? A reply of yours, quoted below, was deleted by a Bitcoin Forum moderator. Posts are most frequently deleted because they are off-topic, though they can also be deleted for other reasons. In the future, please avoid posting things that need to be deleted. Wow, ETH is still performing...
When I come to this forum and see every other post mention ETH, it indicates to me that the fruit has fully ripened. |

If I could I would delete all signature campaign accounts.
They totally ruined bitcointalk, and they earn like 10 dollar a month? Embarrassing.
Exactly. If I wanted to clean up this forum, that's the first thing I'd do. |

Even if there are people treating it "as if* it is a currency", there are likely to be at least as many who are not aware of the massive mining supply thats around the corner. 20 million coins that come from nowhere getting dumped on the market over 12 months.
That massive supply was meant to stabilize price by discouraging wild speculation, thus increasing Ether's utility as a fuel. Then the Ethereum Foundation faced bankruptcy, bought ETH, promised low inflation, and now we have a bubble and a Foundation that's funded for the next seven years.  |

I stand corrected. But Vitalik did post on Reddit during the run-up that he/they were selling OTC.
Just checked and you're right - seems the Foundation recently had about 1.65 million ETH. |

The last math I heard: out of 70 million+ Ethers currently in existence only 11 million are in the wild. That would mean they are all on Polo right now?
I'd question the math. The crowdsale was for about 60 million and 17 million more have been mined since then. The Ethereum Foundation owns BTC from the crowdsale. The last I heard they barely held any ETH. |

Im thinking about going all in on ether, seriously.. And this is way outside of my character.
Anyone here go all in on eth?
Or you could just give your Bitcoin to me if you like?  This thing has gone up 17-fold in two months - with an increasingly steep trajectory - such that were it to continue this path it would reach 4 trillion before September. Obviously, it must break this trend, and when it does, you will see just how much the holders truly believe in it beyond price. I can tell you this, they are such adherents of the technology, that they hold over 11 million ETH at Polo and have not even moved it into their own wallets. |

i am with you. on the other hand, the eth-fanatics seem to be not as assholish as i would expect after a 30-60 fold rise of their investment. man, just imagine how us bitcoiners would feel if bitcoin would do another 50 fold!? imagine one bitcoin = $200 000,- us bitcoiners would act like being the new kaisers of the universe. we would think we would own the world. (and we would, too  ) Well, there may still be time for our god complexes to play out. I rather fancy myself as a musclebound Zeus  |

the funny thing is, you can already short if you want at POLO, but nobody is using it. ETH lending rates are still very low.
Any good trader will want to wait for confirmation to short. Doing so now would be either genius or stupidity. |

Like bitcoin carpenteer said, just stop this madness. ETH is at it's high now. It's been pumped big time.
The only logical thing to do is that he price will be dumped to the ground. And newcomers will lose money.
If you considered this well then you are too late.
Oh this bitch is a bubble alright, but at its high right now? Looks like it's about to break out higher tbh... |

Well, this thread was an eye-opener. I wonder if his apologists will still be defending him once he's released on parole and still not provided restitution? And I didn't know one of the perks of getting thrown in the slammer was reneging on your debts. I might get myself admitted to cut down on my mortgage repayments.  |

Btw, that site is complete shit. The bet is still open, despite clearly being resolved. Not only that, they seem to be pulling a Gox - they've suspended all payments indefinitely (but are apparently fine with accepting deposits). |
