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

[xhomerx10]

Did I ever told you how much I love people on these forum and their little "cooking pot" stories??

bought one of these couple of years ago, "paid by" bitcoin.



it is a fantastic bike. as fantastic as its $45 000,00 price tag. only bitcoiners know. 

 You must be Danish.  We don't yet have the infrastructure to support cycling in Canada and distances are to great to consider it for the most part.  Cool bike though - I like the upfront seats for the kids.  Looks like a a great touring bike.

That's one heck of a deal Charlie closed there!

What will be the name of the SW2x coin?

B2X. You can name it whatever you like. Doesn't matter! There will be hundreds of Bitcoin forks in future and all they'll give you free money drops. Take them and convert into bitcoins!

Ah, feel much better. I was thinking there was going to be a contention on the bitcoin name (as I understand also some 'core' devs are leaving for b2x) - in this case it is obvious which one is the 'altcoin'! Thanks for clarifying!

this hodl philosophy will really hurt bitcoin one day. this could end in some kind of deflation spiral, nobody uses bitcoin to buy stuff because stuff will be much cheaper tomorrow.

to solve this hodl problem we need a new kind of service. A combination of payment and exchange service. with this service it should be possible to pay for something in bitcoin and also instantly exchange the same amount of fiat back to bitcoin - payhodl.com!

Trust me, when most of your wealth is tied up in bitcoins, you will spend them.

The flaw is thinking that people that get it will be holding very much fiat to spend. Maybe enough for a restaurant or groceries for the week but the big things like travel, large purchases, etc. are done with bitcoins.

Very true.  Money is only useful when it is spent on items we value.  Also need to diversity into fiat to tide us wealthy bitcoiners over through the long bear markets.

Charlie has the better deal that's for sure; however, Roger probably does not give a shit because he has so much money and he is so filled with emotion, and he does not mind throwing away 250 BTC for this cause...... in order to replace that BTC with something that is lucky to have 1/10 the value...  Sure, a publicity stunt that may cost Roger around $1million... to trade BTC for what is likely to be our newest introduction of a shitcoin.

For some reason, 20 years from now I foresee Roger Ver as broke and homeless, having foolishly squandered all his Bitcoin and other money because he is an un-savvy, piss poor investor and money manager and often lets his emotions get the best of him. Kinda like those people who win the lotto, only to be completely broke a few years later.

He will be the rags-to-riches-back-to-rags story of this generation.

4300 seems to be a tough bastard

That's what I think sometimes but then I remember that he presumably switched some big yet undisclosed amounts to ETH and other shitcoins way before the HUGE exponential rise. So, who knows, maybe he is doing well after all. Hard to tell.

Good morning Bitcoinland.

Nice to see a slow creep upwards... currently $4307USD/$5374CAD (Bitcoinaverage).

Altcash stalled at $440USD/$550CAD (Coinmarketcap).

Let's see what the new month and the closing of the Chinese exchanges bring.

My guess is up.

[Bitcoinaire]

Welcome back $4300.

[bones261]

Welcome back $4300.

Altcash stalled at $440USD/$550CAD (Coinmarketcap).

Yeah, it keeps sliding. Down to 0.10/btc now. I'm starting to lose hope that it'll ever get back up to even 0.15, much less 0.20 so I can dump the rest.  Roger and CSW need to up their game and start spamming the Bitcoin mempool again, start pumping BCH, yadda yadda...

Well at least you can move your BCH to an exchange really fast at the moment. Blocks are taking a little less than 2 minutes. Better hurry, slow blocks will resume for a day or 2, probably starting sometime tomorrow. WOW this EDA retarget strategy is really working well to maintain a stable hashing rate.   (I wasn't around in 2011, but didn't Namecoin go through something similar? This EDA is even worse!)

The boatman on the river Styx now accepts Bitcoin.

Does this mean I have to be buried with my personal key in my mouth?

I am a Hodler
By Arriemöller

I discovered the magic of bitcoin,
and joined the ranks of its soldiers.
I fought the battles on the mountains of MtGox.
And lost.
I watched the slaying of Bear Whale in 2014.
I suffered through the dessert march of 2015.
I enjoyed the calm of 2016.
I celebrated the victories of 2017.
I watched, up in arms, the fork of lately.
I am a veteran, I am scarred, I am a Hodler.



Edit; scarred, not scared.

Strange things goes through your mind when you drive the dark open highways in your truck/lorry in the middle of the night.

[Meuh6879]

Prepare for "something" ...

most likely a spam attack combined with some pow hashrate switch to bch: http://fork.lol/pow/hashrate

so ... it grow.

Often when I am out and about I wonder to myself who else have i met or passed today is also a hodler like myself. I have yet to meet anyone who also has bitcoin.

[rjclarke2000]

Is this rise purely down to hodling btc before OCT 1st due to the bitcoin gold fork?

[buyandhold]

I suffered through the dessert march of 2015.

Ah yes. Round here we called it 'the plum pudding plod'. Never forget.
