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

[Fakhoury]

When is Lightning going to get launched for "ordinary people" to try ?

When is Segwit getting launched ?

Is it getting launched ?

Here is some info to your query.

For someone who isn't a miner or computer wizard like myself this is tricky to understand. So it may NOT be activated?

Yes, there is a possibility.

IIRC LN is possible without Segwit, but it is a lot more complicated to create that way.

Most bullish chart ever. Breakout after 3 year consolidation.

Not a double top.

Now this is a nice 2.5 years cup and handle

[julian071]

It's happening... Right?

Edit: clearly someone wants to send the message: not yet. Expensive, messaging like that.

[hulla]

Oh my God. Guys,you're moving literally now cos the price of bitcoin is going up steadily and checking the current price of bitcoin now. We are at 775.00 US Dollar

This is more like a rattly subway than a train.

Crazy shit.

This is more like a rattly subway than a train.

Comparing the chart now to that of 3 years ago: agreed.

But there's a corollary to it as well. That statistically inevitable crash of a rattly subway is usually a lot less spectacular than that of some  high-speed train being vaporized after running over a small stone on the rails.

I am not very technical either, but I think that I understand enough to know that it is quite too early to be able to determine whether seg wit is going to gather enough momentum to activate, and it has a year to accomplish such and it has only just started in the past few weeks.

We would likely be in a much better place to assess the situation in 3-6 months or maybe if we are starting to get pessimistic about its actually being activated, then such pessimism may come at 9 months rather than at 2-3 weeks into it, no?

Sure, possibly current price action is due to the blocking of the ability to move bitcoins right now, but also, there are probably some decent underlying bullish vibes that are continuing upwards price pressures, including optimism about the various potentials of seg wit and the fact that the idea has already been proposed and largely agreed to in theory, the code has already been written and fairly well tested, and it is just a matter of time that it gets activated (or some version of it), and therefore, BULLISH on our current price dynamics.

Not sure about stones but once I was young and would put pennies on the track...unfortunately I could never find them after the train past! So I eventually decided to put tar between the penny and the track and it didn't fly as far and could easily be found...

For whatever the hell thats worth...

IMHO this is like a fine oiled machine

FAT FINGERS HAPPEN

Nobody cares about messages from insolvent bear whales giving same message from $500 all the way up to $770.
Bitcoin is very cheap. $1000 is just around the corner.

Well good morning Bitcoinland.

I see we not only kept last night's gains, but touched an even higher peak while I was sleeping... currently $775USD/$1032CAD (where it was last night) while reaching a peak of $781USD/$1040CAD, all according to Bitcoinaverage of course.

As I said last night, I expect serious resistance at this point. Hopefully it won't take a month to breach $780 like it did to leave $750 behind.

Go Bitcoin go, onward and upward.

FAT FINGERS HAPPEN

Actually, after reading this above post, I looked at that a little more closely, and it appears that approximately 10k coins were traded in 2 minutes (which would mostly be a dump), so could be fat finger. 

Our ongoing disclaimer remains that we cannot really be sure about what 10k coins mean on any chinese exchange (it may actually mean about 1k coins, and still no insignificant amount of coins to trade in 2 minutes).

FTFY


I am pretty sure that my edit is what you meant to say.

No. Actually I was talking about more recently.

It took 5 months (December 2015 - May 2016) to get past $450.

Getting past $750 only took us the entire month of November 2016.

Crazy shit.

That's some forex stuff (stop loss raids for bulls and bears).
