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

Looks like there's 1.8 million BTC in dust in the mempool.

Totally not one guy:

Just Roger Ver re-sending his bulk spamstorm all over again. He does this from time to time, in a stubborn attempt to shore up lost bigblocker cause.

I've already run into quite a few big blocker nut jobs that are trying to characterize this situation as a kind of organic growth that demonstrates some kind of need to expeditiously increase the blocksize.. blah blah blah.

For some reason, I just cannot bring myself to recognize the situation as organic.

Could someone explain this to the less able-minded people, like me?

66k unconfirmed transactions atm 


Anyways..looks like another price spike..which exchange gets "hacked" this time near the top of it, seems to be a running theme.

This next rally could blow lots of little people's minds.

The banks have been "blockchaining" for 2years and what have they got to show for it? A bale of cotton was shipped using "blockchain trade finance" ... wtf? was that cotton going to be used to print more fiat or what? I'm not getting that blockchain profit vibe, sounds like pure BS.

There's cup 'n handles on many time scales so the boom could be impressive ... and an impressive bitcoin move means 10x-15x. On the ground adoption around the globe with lots of little people thirsty for real money slurping up BTC like a desert flood has drained away all the excess bitcoins. BTC price moves after the adoption reaches a level to drag it to a new price regime, such is skepticism and bearishness surrounding crypto0currencies ... noone believes us, yet still it works.

Exponential growth is a numbers game that not many people can be trained to get their brains around.

Put all fiat on the blockchain, Utility Settlement Coin - UBS, a fraction of this will be your $1USD and thus your money will flow along the blockchain.

Significantly cheaper than the current system.

Banks are now storing Bitcoin as a safety net against ransom demands by hackers.

All of the banks and financial institutions are moving to a form of blockchain technology, banks have basically admitted bitcoin works.

I can see exponential growth...

Yesterday they were throwing them at our feet, tomorrow they will be begging at our feet for them back.

There appear to be three cups within each other. The summer rally marked the first handle, and the second handle might be at $1200 if the pattern repeats, After a retrace the third handle could be the kind of exponential growth we saw in 2013.

There's probably some trading term for cups within each other, but I only know the basics.

Cups everywhere.

PM me when it reaches 696.0 BTC.

I think we will test 700 next month this week.

I think we will test 700 next month this week in the next 24 hours. Which are critical.

I won't PM you. But, it is past 696$

Also, this is finally a "told you so" moment

Also, most people in bitcoin ask about/wait for "mass adoption by the "avergae Joes"". Which is hilarious, it is so not going to work out like that; all new tech got adopted by: first, a small intellectual elite who understands the paradigm shift; second: capital injection from a marginal but very wealthy part of society whom are ready for high risk/high profit scenarios, and has good advisors/insight; third: than last "Average Joe" has no other way (! it is not his choice, it is mandatory for him!!) than adopt as well, because remaining with the old tech is below marginal utility/1.

Same happens and will happen with bitcoin, we are kinda of the "intellectual elite", banks, ETFs, hedge funds etc. are the capital injection, and "average Joe" will be too late to make early adopter profit - we are speaking of 100x-10000x wealth increase on wealth redistribution here from fiat to crypto - as usual (but still going to enjoy "risk free, already established advanced technology).

edit: just as the "average Joes aka mass" among my colleges, friends; was telling them to buy bitcoin "just in case" for two years by now (last summer it was around 230$!!), yet they never did. They totally gonna miss out the wealth distribution effect (not 700$, but 7000$+ as well), like 98% of the world population.

Huobi 700$

Bitcoiners suffered from the Bitfinex hack, but if there is another banks going bankrupt crisis the bank's customers will suffer an order of magnitude worse. Today Bloomberg said Deutsche bank is now probing whether it "misstated" derivatives. Afterwards Zerohedge noticed that the the FT reported the Bank of England is asking large British banks what their exposure is to Deutsche Bank.

If banks start nicking customer's money like Bitfinex it could pump Bitcoin 10x to 100x. It could make Bitcoin mainstream with even the "average Joe" buying into it.

In what may or may not be a coincidence, just hours after Bloomberg reported that DB launched a probe into whether it "misstated" derivatives, moments ago the FT reported that the Bank of England is seeking details from large British banks on their current exposure to Deutsche Bank and some of the biggest Italian banks, including Monte dei Paschi, "amid mounting market jitters over the health of Europe’s financial sector."

Yes, SOME bitcoiners suffered - 90% did not. Cause "my key, my bitcoins" etc.
But you are right about Deutsche Bank. It does not matter, if you are a DB customer, or any other major bank's, since they are all connected through "toxic derivatives" so all customer funds are in jeopardy - enters bitcoin.

I disagree about "Joes" buying bitcoin suddenly - i wish that would be true, but, reality :-(. It is so not ready for non-tech/little tech users to join in in masses -yet!, i know; i get so many fukin stupid question from "non-tech" personell, which an average 12 year old gamer geek kid could answer.
