As per the rules of gentlemanly decorum I hereby take leave of the Wall Observer thread for the next week.
Do try and keep it under 100 pages while I'm gone lads, not looking forward to the catch up.
I am, however, very much looking forward to spending some quality time puttering around the shop with my elderly father.
cheers chaps,
Sounds a good idea. Taking time to have times to remember, while it's still possible. Enjoy. p.s. can't make promises about page numbers to catch on, this is the WO after all. |

Tennis (men's final) was great too.
Yeah, heard it was a final set tie-break and a real drama - but I had to choose one or the other.... |

I guess no one here was watching the cricket World Cup Final today, then?
Probably the best match I have ever seen.
Oh well, never mind.
Not a big cricket fan but I watched it. Ridiculous ending, separated by 1 run, incredible. Ben Stokes was incredible. Watched it from 10.30am - all the way through to the end - and it was amazing, yep! Actually it was a draw in the game AND a draw in the 'super over' - but they decided it by boundaries in the entire match in the end. One run either way would have decided it, but it was a dead heat, but England won on the match stats - and yep Stokes was awesome. It was so tense, I was stressed out for most of the entire game! Along time since England won any world cup, eh! |

I don't know if the dude is serious, but like I said, I'm not judging. What would be a reasonable time frame for collecting the coins? 1 or 2 weeks? Minimum 50 or refund after the deadline. Then a second milestone like 1 or 2 months or an exact date and time, and possibly another one after on the way to $50k. Also what exchanges or indexes to use, or most of them maybe (bitstamp, bitcoinaverage, coinbase, preev, kraken, gemini, coindesk, etc)...
I'm not even sure what he was proposing, as ... I don't get to read all the posts, the pages fly by very fast in this thread, so I may have missed something. heheh.
He was proposing we pay 100 Bitcoin, UP FRONT - so that his, er... magic talents would make Bitcoin 'go up'. Like he has a secret way of moving a multi-billion dollar market and making us all rich if we just pay a load of money up front. Of course, no one here is stupid enough to give him a single satoshi, but was a slow evening and at least we had a giggle. Bless. I would have chucked him a litecoion maybe, just for the belly laughs he gave me... until it got a little embarrassing and he threw a few insults at the WO brethren. Seriously, escrow offer appreciated, but will not be required. Not for this sad herbert. Not for any time frame. Ever. |

@BobLawBlaw, @makrospek and the rest: of course it's not even worth discussing why the poor guy is a newbie scammer or a moron troll. The only good use of some of his posts was to practice our semi-secret routines (Kathleen's bike springs to mind) or just having a good laugh. Well sod it no more fun i guess...  I liked the domino part the most  When i instantly reminded... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8QSU8wXDkcgSuperb. |

Andreas on Libra - a video lecture with his initial thoughts on the first 'Corporate Currency': "Facebook's Libra will introduce a billion people to the wrong kind of cryptocurrency just like AOL introduced a billion people to the wrong kind of internet." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7S6506vkth4Not a bad weekend watch. |

Market dominance is a shitty indicator, we all know why, and after Bitwise report we cannot ignore anymore his limitation, but, can still point in the right directions to intresting thoughts about market. Market dominance just broke the peak during Dec '17 (price) ATH, it is now at the highest levels since April 2017.  another way of looking at this is the following relative price movements of shitcoins versus BTC over the last 3M  This is truly remarkable. A few days ago i proposed 3 three reasons why market dominance is going north, I ask you again your toughs. I list there in the order of market relevance, in my opinion: - Technology has progressed, people studied and has progressed in the understanding of the cryptos and came to the right conclusion shitcoins are indeed...shitcoins. Shitcoins value proposition has since faced and now they are clearly revealed for what they have always been: (kind of elaborate) exit scams by fraudster to transfer your bitcoin in their wallets.
- We are on the verge of an epochal bull run caused by institutional money on the brink on entering cryptocurrencies. Of course the main gateways for this to happen is Bitcoin. I can't see them diversifying their investment into other bitcoins in the near future both because lack of regulations, lack of liquidity and above all security and scrutiny on this coins.
- The more Bitcoin performs versus shitcoins, the more the random investors will be keen on buying bitcoins and abstain to shift to shitcoins, because Bitcoin IS the asset performing. SO kind of self-fulfilling mechanism/shelling point where you don't want to convert your bitcoin into other assets
What are your toughs? My toughs?  1. I think more non-retail money (increasing constituent, now) seeks the safer bet, along with the liquidity of the largest player / market in crypto. 2. The feedback loop. As long as alts whither and dominance increases, it only reinforces the trend. For now, at least. |

Not sure if it was paranoia, or arrogance, I was probably 6 years old - and daring god to prove he existed in my head. I decided since he didn't strike me down, he didn't.
When I was in elementary school I went through a phase where I believed that the entire world was spying on me. I'm pretty sure that at some point everybody (well most liberated westerners with time to kill) contemplates whether or not the world revolves around them, and that they may be the only real thing in the universe. Some have even developed philosophies around the concept, other movies.  After having your ass handed to you a few times though, it becomes apparent that we are all just typical spazzes, and that no one is actually that different from anybody else. We all exist, were born into this world crying and against our will, share 99.99% of the same DNA, and not one of us knows what the fuck we are actually doing here. Totally agree - and the eventual knowledge that we are all individually trivial teaches us a little humility, which is a good thing. |

Any of y'all ever get the uncanny feeling like the world -- the entirety of it -- has been created and scripted for the sole purpose to gauge how you yourself will react to it?
When I was a kid, very young - yep. I had a phase where I was convinced people (and things) only existed when I could see them. That is, that when someone left the the room, they disappeared. It was all show, put on for me. |

Yes i do belong to that category but so did Satoshi and his group not knowing what or who they are but people still invested into his/their ideal. Mine is no different, the only thing i am missing is a wallpaper.
Satoshi and his work is admired and respected here, and he never asked anyone for any money. You are no Satoshi. |

Didn't see it, but if Nouriel was smarting, did Arthur boss him?
Not sure. Apparently Bitmex didn't release the first ten minutes because Nouriel creamed him with lots of screaming and swearing or something. There was a summary on r/bitcoinmarkets but Reddit is such a piece of shit you can't even find a post older than a few hours. Ugh Reddit! I saw the hype leading up to it, but didn't see a link to it since, I guess it was a let down; Nouriel is a venomous dick and Arther is an arrogant showman. If you spot a link, I would take a look (but probably feel dirty afterwards). This one? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3etTQE504JoThanks - I got the gist of it, glad it was a short clip, any more would have been painful! |

Not poor at all nor desperate and neither it is a scam. I intend to do honest work for the reason mentioned.
Dear Sir, you have attempted to ask some of the most sophisticated, hard-bitten investors in the entire world of cryptocurrency to dish out Bitcoin up front on the basis of ludicrously spurious claims. Did you really think you would get anywhere? Please look in the mirror and realise you have a lot to learn? Good luck.  This man is serious and deserves an opportunity. Post an ETH address good sir and I will send you a token of our goodwill. Bless him, he was entertaining.... If you're seriously going to, then he should send an LTC address too, I dumped my ETH a long time back. |
