Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion

Yes, you are wrong.  Let me explain again:
People use Western Union in emergencies--like being stranded halfway across the country with no money for gas, that sort of thing.  The kind of emergencies in which Bitcoin would be of no use, since it can not be spent in in the podunks where these emergencies take place.  Gas stations don't take Bitcoin.

If you are talking about needing something which could be bought online, simply ask the person to put the purchase on his CC, and save bot of you the fee and the hassle.

But I can also pay for someone's gas in the middle of nowhere instantly from my living room with btc, all they need is the payment protocol.

*You have lost more than 1/2 of your money if you have been holding for a year.  Way to go!

I lost just profit opportunities. I would stay in black even at 10 bucks mr. Hindsight.

Wait, wat?  We're not discussing hypotheticals, we're talking IRL.  Today, most (if not all) gas stations don't take BTC.

All they need is a working computer with electricity and internet connection - in the middle of nowhere. | Far from impossible but not very probable.

No.  In the last year, Bitcoin has been an abysmally bad store of value, as in losing more than half of it.

Well, it´s up 2800% over 2 years and god knows
how much over 5 so that´s all good.

And knowing how to use BTC.
And the will to accept it.
Currently, there's neither.  So if you're stranded in East Dumfuk Nowhere, having BTC sent to your wallet will be pointless

Yeah, and at one point in time, Beanie Babies were a good store of value.  As was the case with Bitcoin at some point in time.

That point in time is over, has been over for over a year

...some big players are accumulating while these current market prices are being manipulated downward...

Mysterious creatures, them...

"'You may seek it with thimbles—and seek it with care;
   You may hunt it with forks and hope;
You may threaten its life with a railway-share;
   You may charm it with smiles and soap—'"

Yes:  You are so creative NOT not pork.  I hope that they are paying you well for all your efforts to distract and attempt at belittling the ideas of others.    

Bro, that's not mine--written a while ago by Lewis Carroll.
Consider reading more and writing less.

FTFY
*Whoever is paying you is paying you by the word

Seems as if you are feeling particularly rambunctious and engaging today with your silly-ass distortions of reality. 

Why would anyone need to pay me?  Your stupid-ass theory about me being paid makes little to no sense;however, my theory about you being paid makes whole heck of a lot of sense - because what sane individual would spend a large number of hours, every day, with a purpose of talking down bitcoin and attempting to distract this thread from meaningful dialogue? ... as if anyone would be invested in the failure of something - except for individuals employed by or tied to various status quo financial institutions. 

Me, on the other hand, I have a personal stake in the success of bitcoin because I am investing into it and continuing to invest into it and I am studying its progress on a regular basis, including my participation in this thread which you denigratingly and distractingly characterize as being somewhat wordy - but so the fuck what... you are full of shit and you are attempting to avoid addressing the substance of my comments by translating them into latin or whatever the fuck that language is...

At least I have a reasonable and logical purpose for being here and participating in this thread as an individual to monitor and to root for the progress and success of bitcoin.

Bitcoin has been around since 2008/2009, seems like a good store of value considering today's value.

LOL

Why? For lending a friend $100, or actually using bitcoins instead of treating them as an "investment"?

Sorry. I'm not some trading cultist, drinking the TA koolade.

Troll harder next time.

Yeah, fonsie, if it once was a good store of value, it's a good store of value now.  Because things never change and always stay the same

You are aware that there are more cellphones than flush toilets in the world?

[marcus_of_augustus]

Fiat or no fiat, people are always the same. They always try to abuse things and have profit to the maximum. Just human nature, believing bitcoin is any different is insanity.

profit-seeking is what makes the world go around. The troubles are just about the means used. Fiat is by force = bad by definition. Until crypto is voluntary is a good starting point.

Coercion and law is what gives fiat value. Maybe not moral, but surely gives more faith to average Joe than internet funny money like bitcoin scheme.

'cept they keep printing soooo much of the crap nobody wants it anymore, people are dumping it for houses, stocks, bonds, anything but fiat ... and the fiat they do have in the bank can now be confiscated at will.

Bitcoin on the other hand is limited in supply and out of the govt's/banksters reach ... oh, and can be sent anywhere in the world for almost free.

I prefer the quote: Wake up and smell the ashes (pronouncing it to sound like it could have been "asses" is also acceptable if the situation calls for it).
