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

[luckygenough56]

i don't understand a thing about this segwit activation mess, but i think it's what they want (reptilian overloads), keep us ants in the dark.


what i undrrstand tho is that bitcoin will be dumped after segwit activates

What IS that big Bitstamp wall up to..?

I hope for a full retracement, but will not be certain of it until we are above $2500. A lot of money could have been easily made in the last couple of days, for those who trade smart.

Sounds like you are experiencing some regrets, Lauda?

I execute trades every $50, and everything went pretty smooth with me, except for a mistake that I made at $1859.  For some reason I sold twice at $1859, when I thought that I was executing buy orders.. I still cannot figure out what I did exactly, so in order to recover, I had set buy orders to buy back my mistake at $1840 and $1820, but alas, we never returned to those prices.. at least so far.


I am just writing it off as some kind of wash mistake.. it washed out some of my other seemingly profitable trades... so it is all good.. and my portfolio is only affected like less than .2% by the mistake.


Oh .. and thanks for you clarification of BIP91 and BIP148.  It seems that however many times these explanations are repeated, there are further opportunities for confusion proliferation, which can come from the content of one or two erroneous posts...

[rjclarke2000]

Well I am totally confused. You are all saying different things too.

I don't know which one to take notice of!


Edit. If I'm confused then I can't imagine what other folk must be like. Uncertainty definitely doesn't make things overly positive.

I'm sure it'll be clearer soon.

There is no spoon fork.

[SERVERIA]

Looks like them panic sellers have been played beautifully once more. There'll be more of it. Try not selling and see where you end up.

That's too complicated for those guys. It's much easier to buy high and panic sell low.

[eiskalt]

In two weeks, everything will be forgotten.

                                      



Prepare for the BLITZ!

[Lauda]

That is even better. As long as miners stick to THEIR OWN roadmap we will all be fine... And with all the weak hands shaken during this last correction the rise after all the uncertainty dissapears could be impressive.

The only reason that I somewhat like BIP91 is because it can (and possibly will) prevent the split on August the 1st. The latter part of it, i.e. the hard fork, may end up being a disaster (if it happens).

No. I am not a trader, or at least not a day trader. I can't bother to move cold storage funds to an exchange for these swings and trading with a few thousand USD is waste of time for me. So, you didn't manage to buy back in yet? I certainly did expect it to spiral down that much, that quickly.

I'm somewhat inclined to say that it's rather much simpler than people claim it is, but that may be cognitive bias. The problem with it is that 'what can' and 'what will' happen keeps changing. It is still not definite that a split will be prevented. The odds just keep changing.

This is today's question: https://themerkle.com/are-cryptocurrencies-recovering-or-is-this-a-dead-cat-bounce/ 

[Elwar]

Considering BIP91 is at 63% and SegWit is at 22%...all the SegWit folks need to do to get SegWit activated is to add the BIP91 bit and wait for 2 days and we will have SegWit with 85% participation. Then with BIP148 it will fill that last 10% to activate in the Core client. Done.

No, it was YESTERDAY question. Today it has been answered by current price.

[leowonderful]

We still need ViaBTC, F2Pool to signal, and F2Pool recently got DDOSed so that may be the reason why signalling is delayed on their end. Bitmain is also fake signalling right now, and if that doesn't change then they will orphan all SW2x blocks. Interesting times. I hope that lock-in period will succeed the first time but considering these two big pools and several small pools aren't signalling BIP91 yet, it may take some time for it to happen.

So, can someone explain the blue shading and black lines under the graph on here

I am not sure for the rest, but the first bar (BIP91 LOCK-IN) I believe the black bar represent the 269 out of 336 blocks (80%).

For the one below, the black bar represents current signalling for BIP91.

Not sure about the rest of it though.

Notice the rise in Altlandia.

This was primarily a massive Altlandia bull trap. Crypto personalities on yt are going nuts, doubling down with both hands.

They're gonna get burned again.

John McAfee is taking bets:

In the long term Bitcoin moves above  $500,000 within three years. Bets?

I would definitely take a $500k bet knowing that in 3 years I can sell one of my bitcoins for $500k to pay off the bet happily. Or he gives me $500k. Win win.

Well, the problem is nobody knows what $500k can buy you after 3 years!

Furthermore McAfee is talking about JihanCoin! HE said he will follow Jihan, meaning bigger Blocks.
So this isn' really relevant as I doubt this hardforked coin will have any significance and probably not being called Bitcoin.
His price prediction is also totally crazy. He is talking about a $10 trillion market cap. That guy should definitely stop consuming drugs!
It's also weird that he said he would eat his own dick on national tv if this price prediction should not happen. I mean WTF?!

yt = YouTube?

So it would seem that there will be no spilt chains, and everyone is breathing and buying Bitcoin again. 

So 2500.00 by the end of the day?

Ahh, I think the blue in the second line is the % of BIP91 for a longer period...perhaps a day or so.

It does activate Segwit. You have a fundamental misunderstanding if you think that it does not. BIP91 will start orphaning non-SW signalling blocks after it has 80% of the blocks for 72 hours (IIRC). This means that the traditional activation mechanism will see a spike to 95% (BIP9) which requires 2 weeks to lock in Segwit, and then another 2 weeks to activate it.

my problem is the time, the interval of the rise of the 61% of "this" Segwit2x blocks versions.
in less than 12h, they have switch from produce Bitcoin Core Official version block ... to "here" specific version.

in less than that, they can switch from Segwit2x commented code ... to a closed one (BU style).
they already fail to do this with Bitcoin XT (38%).

that's why i warn the community to stay & watch this evolution closesly because of this mining sector (the 61%).

I would believe of the "trust" of the mining sector (the 61%) ... but they did not prove they were trustworthy in following the basic rules. They want to create their own coin each time by forcing the nodes to use their client with the more than 51% mining power.

It's not new.
And that's why i survey the BIP9 only ...

Interesting times. I hope that lock-in period will succeed the first time but considering these two big pools and several small pools aren't signalling BIP91 yet, it may take some time for it to happen.

Agree.

Exactly as they got burned in May making 10x in most of the big alts?
