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

[JimboToronto]

Oh look. A big dump half a hour ago. Someone saw the price slowly going up again and totally freaked out that his coins were becoming worth more so he quickly dumped them and made sure the uptrend would be stopped.

There's no stopping the uptrend, just slowing it down.

Some people think that could actually be good for Bitcoin.

Whiskey and women for the first 20 Bitcoiners!

"I have escaped this hell - and you?"
-I am in the process of escaping the hell of currency controlled by fiat government and central banks -and you?

"Don't wait, get out of it too, there is no other chance."
-fuck yeah, every available fiat dollar. Please keep the price below 380 until at least payday on Friday!

They can take our FREEDOM, but they'll never take our BITCOIN!

Actually it's stopping the uptrend every single time.

Back to 350.

That wallet was split into 1,100+ wallets each containing exactly 100 btc like so https://blockchain.info/address/1FwoAyL2cLD2cKDd2bh11FtsB7TVjHRFGc

"Kraken selected to aid MtGOX Investigation and Liquidation"
http://blog.kraken.com/post/103599171158/mt-gox-bankruptcy

Smells like a big pile of steaming bullshit to me

Could be. There was an earlier announcement which said that Kraken would take over MtGOX and pay customers in bitcoin.  This one is more limited and cautious, but it is still not clear what is certain and what is merely a wish of Kraken and/or the clients, that the trustee may concede or not.  In particular, the statement that clients will be required to open an account at Kraken in order to receive the refunds seems to be just a wish...

Does that mean, pay customers even the stolen amount? or just new amounts?

I'd assume it is to pay whatever coins are still under the control of mtgox, anything else would be crazy. I'm baffled why'd they even want to get involved in the mtgox bankruptcy though... Seems like way more trouble than it is worth.

Personally I think it's great that there will be an actual investigation.

When Powell said: "We’ve decided to volunteer our resources and expertise in an attempt to minimize damage to creditors, restore faith in the Bitcoin community, and demonstrate trusted leadership in the industry,", that explains it all.

We all know getting new customers is something Kraken needs. And that's what they hope to get from this move.

But, hey. At least they're doing something useful for it

lmao. seriously? how you know that?

How do I know what?

I'm not sure about the whole investigation thing. Depends on what info will be made available to them. So no guarantees they will uncover anything.

But the redistribution of the Bitcoins and fiat left on Gox will go through. Why not? I find that useful.

More supply again (MtGox 200K BTC + 2nd SR auction):

It always amazes me that there are panic dumps whenever an article mentions a chunk of coins being manhandled in some way.  Oh no, 50,000BTC are going to be privately auctioned in a month, I better dump!  Hell, with the Mt. Gox coins we don't even know if they'll be sold off or returned, and when.  It certainly isn't going to be tomorrow or the next day.  

It's almost as if people forget that there are millions of BTC out there where even a marginal percentage could just show up on an exchange at any given time.

But every time there is an uptrend

And the bottom has been higher every time since capitulation at $275.

Assuming this one goes past $450, the tops have been higher too.

You'd almost think Bitcoin traders are total idiots.

We'll see. So far little has changed. Just people dumping and dumping some more.
I don't think this will change anytime soon.

Awesome.  Hope you enjoy it. <==no sarcasm.

how would I "enjoy" a beanie baby? I'm not a furry

ya fuckin weirdo

Wait, so you bought it as an investment?  Sorta like Bitcoin, huh? 

I don't think you will win any converts with the Beanie Baby thing, bro. FWIW

Maybe she doesn't want converts...

Just a nice Brony Baby.

Market is more wise than any individual, it is the perfect voting system.

Whether you wanna admit it or not is your problem.

The fact is that we have confirmed increase in supply:

50k this month + 94k from SR auction.
200k from MtGox  
8k from Australian police

Show me evidence for increased demand (the reason I said 'Down' is because I still see buying pressure only from the usual suspects: speculators and funds, masses are not interested at all).
