How does the coinbase index fund actually work? For instance if you invest say $10k, does coinbase purchase and hold the various cryptos on their books to match the $10k investment?

yes, it seems this way (at about 62:27:7:4 for btc:eth:bch:ltc ratio)
check am.coinbase.com
the weak point is rebalancing only once a year and withdrawing only once a quarter.

That’s just silly when you can do it yourself.  Of course the real danger is BTC dominance goes to 80% and you keep shifting your portfolio balance into shitcoins.

Thanks.

Thinking about this some more, need to widen the net. Need to go back to measuring coin days destroyed.  Blockchair tracks coin days destroyed. Hmmmm.

Ok Wall Observer's participants...I have a question for you. I came up with this idea last night and am in the process of implementing it. I have had a general go ahead from tptb to ask what you ..the WO think about it.

As many of you are aware Wall Street has many analytical firms out there that just market sentiment. I thought it would be nice to have one for Bitcoin as well and so came up with the Wall Observer Bull/Bearish Index or WOBBI for short. This index would be comprised of FA, TA, Polling, AI sentiment analysis and proprietary algorithms to generate a daily(hourly, anytime you ping it?) index.


What I am wondering is this a good idea? Would it be something you supported? Do you think this would be positive or a negative for the forum in general and this thread in particular? Would you want to help develop or contribute in some way to this idea?

Discuss please.

Thank you.
tc



I think it would be a bit of fun and I see no harm in it - so go for it.  

But how do you propose to gather the data?

Anyone know the current address for the Mt Gox trustee and/or have any recommendations for address alert tools?

I’m not a whale.   I joined too late, got involved in December 2013.  I believe in confirmed trends and not much else. I trade bitcoin very defensively so I only sold at most half my holdings and was watching to make sure the price did not break back up again. When it started breaking back up, I bought back in to cover my position.  

I don’t believe that whales can manipulate the price more than temporarily.  They can dump or buy at key inflection points but they are playing into what the market already believes.  And if you watch the order books you can sometimes see them signal with ghost walls before a pump / dump.  

As for what’s happening right now, market sentiment is currently balanced with a slight bearish lean and continuing to slowly degrade.  I’m not delighted about it but need to accept it.

how low can we go...

17,200 USD is support level

It will bounce back.  We are just giving the weak hands a good shake.

Hairy, did you hodl all the way down?

I panic sold some at $13,500 and $10,500 on the way down. I FOMOed back in at $6500 and $8700 on the way back up.

Anyone thinking this is the top is in for a surprise.

Bahahaha.  It’s still not the top !   Grin

So we are sitting on an 11% swing and people are jumping off bridges?  Ok you guys are going to really lose your shit if we have a 20% swing.  Which is supposed to be a normal daily occurrence in Bitcoin   
5830  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: March 06, 2018, 11:07:36 AM
It will bounce.  This is like a mini capitulation.

Fully legal regulated security tokens will become a thing.  

The entire global securities market will be on the blockchain within 20 years.

Can you provide a source for 14 million daily users?  Was that on the FoMO peak day?
5833  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: March 06, 2018, 07:23:13 AM
There are 57.5 million Utxo.   An awful lot of these must be dust or lost keys.  I would have contributed to the dust.

That said I assume Coinbase has far less UTXO than users.

How do you calculate the 0.95%?
5835  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: March 06, 2018, 04:47:27 AM
Have enjoyed watching United Bitcoin dwindle from $120 to $40 over the past few days.  
5836  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: March 06, 2018, 03:30:36 AM
Holy fuck.  We may have just solved the last mile problem in crypto.  This looks serious and legit.

Have just changed my autocorrect to default “bcash” to “bcash lol”.  Very satisfying.

Fun part is going to watch everyone try to short the bottom of this little dip.

So you think this is a bear trap?

Yes. 

Edit:  the real dump will come when we touch $12k or just before.

Well, if the rules are clear beforehand, and A knows that he won't get money for medicines even if that means dieing, then he has to die for not mowning the lawn (it is HIS decision). There can be some exceptions as if he is disabled and therefore can't do it or is incapable of understanding the rules due to some mental issues. Acting otherwise would be completely unfair.

P.S.: I think I have some "leftist" inclinations for making some exceptions in relation to protect the weak (not the lazy though).

What if the parents are very lazy and don’t mow the lawn, but the consequence is their children die?

The examples does not give a shit.

Just so we are perfectly clear, you are advocating killing children through neglect because their parents do not provide for them?
