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

Another thought. My conspiracy brain is always on. I'm not so sure that these ransomware attacks asking for bitcoin, are truly initiated by "bad guys".

How do we know they aren't being initiated by the Feds, deep statists, or whoever in order to continue their smear campaign against Bitcoin?

How would we in the public know otherwise?

How do we know that BTC-e wasn't framed?

Bingo. A hacker group with two neurons wouldn´t use bitcoin. This has the CIA/NSA whatever firm in every aspect. In fact they were the very creators of the worm, that somehow got "hacked" and released by a cyberterrorist group. How convenient.

Exactly. This seems like the deep state perpetrator's playbook to me:

1. Decide that BTC-e needs to go because they can't control it or regulate it

2. Release ransomware to the UK (perhaps giving their corp insiders the heads up) demanding bitcoin

3. Collect the tiny btc ransom (which may also have been initiated by the perpetrators themselves) and deliberately run it through BTC-e's exchange servers

4. Plant supposedly independent white hat hacker with the "fix" to stop ransomware

5. Frame BTC-e, move in on and arrest Alexander, take down BTC-e

6. Win?

But.... There are regulated exchanges that do have Monero, ie: KRAKEN.

But wouldn't Kraken require identity verification, thus nullifying Monero's anonymity benefits?

3,500.00 pause
3,500.00 stop
3,500.00 rewind ?

[infofront]

Here's a translated update from Masterluc from 8/5:

"3157. This is a new historical high. Obviously, it does not want a triangle) Although you can estimate the wedge, but it's already very large in time. If the wedge, then around 3500 the price will reverse on the third wave back to 2600.

I'll leave the wedge here just in case (pic.1), although I can not believe in it.

What is there for us in the general picture ... The price is clearly storming the second red trend logarithmic line. Line wait somewhere at 3500 is just growing. Let's see how the level of 3500 reacts. Maybe it really will break through with its wedge. (Fig. 2)

In general, we must look at what will be at 3,500."


He has us going to ~$100,000 if we break up out of the wedge.

BTC scarcity getting appreciated

I spend each month on buying btc but the price goes up and i never get closer to owning one btc
The value i hold does go up and has been going up so i am not complaining but the arbitrary amount of one btc seems like it is getting further away. Owning a full coin is already out of reach for so many people less fortunate than myself
...

No kidding... Not even millionaires can own 1 bitcoin: There are 33 million millionaires on the planet, so if they all wanted bitcoins, they'd have to settle for 0.5btc each... and that's without factoring whales, lost coins, institutional investors, etc etc

Isn't there a fib level inside 3600?

US business is single digits according to this.

I wonder if the US will ever wake up to how much growth they're stunting by turning their citizens into untouchables overseas.

The real demand for bitcoin will not be known until a global financial crisis guts confidence in central banks and politicized capital controls.

Doesn't matter, you can bet the elite will find ways to speculate on whatever asset they want, regardless of jurisdiction.  This only hurts the little guy...same as it ever was

Shameful. Shameful if they're legit, shameful if they're edited.

Here was my response to "CipherionX"'s attempts at getting leaks.

Until an exchange based on the blockchain appears and no one can shut it down.
