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

Hold on tight to your knickers folks, this could go even wilder in the next few hours.

Chinese officials have said they will no longer stop the market after it opens in the morning.

Interesting times... ( mind you, they have lied in the past, but even so, hold on...)

He must be able to suck a golf ball through 10 meters of garden hose, coz this is going into 0.12 (afaict) and the rc's for 0.12 are out already.

From the recent dev discussions I read, it seems the change in acceptance hinged less on fellatory skills and more on going from RBF for all transactions to this:

"Opt-In Full-RBF allows senders to opt-into full-RBF semantics for their
transactions in a way that allows receivers to detect if the sender has
done so."

China's Emergency Rescue Is Working: Chinese Futures At Session Highs

Wut? I gotta sleep from time to time you know?
Why did this fucking explosion of price happened now, I was waiting the 400 to buy 

Saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad!

Possibly, you both over leveraged and tried to predict the BTC price direction, which are both unwise approaches to BTC. 


In the end, any of us need to have money bet on both ends, because none of us, unless we are a large whale manipulator (and even then) cannot really predict the short term price direction.


Let's say hypothetically you considered about a 70% chance of $400 and a 30% chance of $450 (and this means getting out of absolutism type thinking about the future), and then proportioned your bets accordingly... but probably instead, many people will blow their whole wadd and get greedy by betting outside of their realistic views and bet 100% or some proportion that is much greater than what is really believed,  no?

Ok, the mystery of tarmi seems to be solved already:

Sad. I'm going to miss that guy.

tarmi is dead baby.......tarmi is dead.

[podyx]

Same. I think 2017 will be the big year but 2016 probably won't be bad either.

[JayJuanGee]

looks like tarmifart staged a scam to get some bitcoins after he got rekt with his 320$ shorts...

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1307868.0

Crazy, the guy was in this thread for the longest time posting all kinds of investment advice regarding shorting techniques etc, (I mean, shorting BTC was likely a very profitable business in 2014 (a bit less so in early to mid 2015, and worse in late 2015) ) and then he completely disappeared from this thread around the time that BTC passed $350 the most recent time in late November. 

A reader may have reasonably concluded that Tarmi just got busy with other things (and just didn't have time to post) , etc etc, but instead, he had remained active in other threads and this apparent scam just seems to top off the matter...

I am wondering why his account is not banned or suspended, unless possibly, s/he / it has not provided sufficient evidence to be a scammer?

This thread says tarmi sold his account in July and it might have been sold again in November.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1305800.0

All the latest posts by the tarmi account are in an altcoin called coinbuilder's thread. There's no chance the old tarmi who started the account would only post in the altcoin section. Does anyone know how much he got for his account, and how much the next buyer got if it was sold twice?

Yeah.... probably that explains the assertions of my previous post regarding inconsistencies in the behavior of the account holder?

Gold, Bitcoin Soar After China Liquidates Most Reserves On Record To Defend Currency

http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-01-07/gold-bitcoin-soar-after-china-liquidates-most-reserves-record-defend-currency

"As a reminder, "liquidating reserves" is a financial euphemism for selling government bonds, mostly US Treasurys."




chinese are still dumping treasuries, which means the fed is having to buy up those treasuries in the background .. probably through one of their buy up US treasuries countries.. the chinese might be manufacturing their own crisis to cover dumping US treasuries... because dumping US treasuries undermines the usd... that would be speculation on my part, regardless, dumping US treasuries undermines the usd .

Even though I was on your case in some of my earlier posts... these are very good points regarding potential behind the scenes behaviors and dynamics.

Seems like the train is getting stronger and stronger...

Choo choo motherfucker!

Sadly I'm not in this train xD

You should always have a few tickets in your pocket no matter the dollar/euro/yen price.

And then keep buying till the tipping point of: the regret of losing the complete fiat value of your ticket vs the regret of (in retrospective) not having enough moon tickets. It is quite simple really.
