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

[Ludwig Von]

The dude has enough money to push it over the ATH. Perhaps he's hoping for a short squeeze and has a lot of bitcoins to dump at a high price.

Or maybe he wanted to buy because of the BIP91 locked in, but had to wait till his money got added to his exchange account 

He's out now. Pulled his walls.

You don't slowly push the price up if you're buying. Price is holding though.

He or they ran out of ammo... . Before the spark put fire to the barn... .

I have been telling people about bitcoin since 2013. A few friends listened and hey have made a lot of money. Most people back then had little or no interest with the exception of a small percentage.

Yesterday one of my staff told me he had bought some XRP. He said he relt the 20 euro charge for buying his bitcoin was too high. Not sure where he was looking. He only bought around 200 euros of XRP so a 10% fee does seem a lot. I told him he needs to buy more. Lol

A bus driver that comes in my work also told me yesterday he bought £250 of Bitcoin a few weeks back. He said he is still about £15 down so he must have bought at the top. I told him not to stress and all will be good in he end.

Slowly slowly it is happening. People are interested when they know I use Bitcoin. They want to hear what you have to say.

Gentlemen

Slowly more will join and see its potential. I go to the university of applied sience in the Netherlands and gave my fellow students a 30 minute presentation about bitcoin (at that time BTC price just passed the gold price). Many had heard about it but only a few knew exactly what it was. They where all verry interested. Many even started buying bitcoin  

The price of BTC went up allot since then and they keep asking/thanking me weekly  

I was trying to picture what a University of applied Silence would be like. You know, there's university of all sort of weird subjects nowadays.

I am starting to think that I was too conservative on my ATH bet for 4 Aug. It is looking now that with the next impulse tomorrow for BIP91 activation or the new deposits coming during the week current ATH won't last much more.

Yep, my buddy today was shocked when I said you don't have to buy a whole bitcoin. He said he had to re-think his whole strategy now.

I really don't care about getting someone to buy bitcoins just to make money.

I think the next person to ask me about investing in bitcoins I'll give them a speech about the evils of the Federal Reserve and why Bitcoin is important for the future of liberty. If they let me finish I'll walk them through buying their first bits.

My buddy who actually started buying about $400 worth per paycheck last year bought it after I told him to download the wallet then sent him $10 worth of bitcoins. That is usually the best way to show the power of Bitcoin. The wheels start turning then.

Hold on to your butts, here we go!

Does anybody think that it will fall next days to ~2.2k levels or its going to break 3k wall?

Break the 3k wall, might even happen this weekend.

If we would know that for sure we would be going all in/all out.

That said... I find WAY more probable to break 3k in the coming days than to fall back to 2.2k.

I have found that the level of knowledge within my circle of friends here in the UK is still rather minimal, even though I have been harping on about it since 2013 as well.
That said, I was surprised to hear one of my poker colleagues comment the other week that BTC wa doing "quite well". But no-one I know has invested any money into it yet. Almost everyone I speak to say the same thing, "Its too expensive" I tell them they dont have to purchase a whole coin but they keep thinking this must be the top!!!
Oh how little they know

The current ATH in USD is $2980, right?  Just over $100 away...

I think the EUR ATH is just over €2600 (€2618?), about €170 away.  Soon, I think, very soon.... and my bet is going to be miles out  

Those figures don't make much sense with the current USD/EUR exchange rate, I think it must have changed a bit since the old ATH

EUR has appreciated against the USD since ATH. Around 5%.

You are right. The Euro is doing pretty well lately compared to the USD.

Can't really stockpile gas. Even after treatment with Sta-Bil, it gets gummy and useless after a year or so.

I've put gas in one of my cars more than a year ago, as it's a project (1989 BMW 320i coupe) waiting for spare cash to burn, I've started it the other day (using cables) and it ran fine, so the gas must still be OK.

Yep. I have had cars left for even a couple of years and no problem with the gasoline.

I think it is gasoil what degradates more quickly.
