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

What would happen if there was a crash to $7-8K?  So many people who bought in the past several months would be upside down.  They might try and escape anytime a rally or bounce back forms, which would keep the price down for an extended period of time.

Yay my first ignore. Isn't the word for someone who ignores people or things "ignorant"?

 Without a glowing button, it just isn't the same.  

Do you mind, if i lay down on the floor, and piss myself ?  

As you wish.  Just don't do it here.

Yeah I thought the same. Has 25k in coins and no money for a new wallet?

It would never come to my mind to even use a hardware wallet. It seems like an unncessary excess. A bitcoin wallet is just a private key which consists of ~50 digits. Just write it down, remember it, or some combination of these. A hardware wallet just exposes you to more liability - what if the device is lost, stolen, fried, stops working, is hacked like this, etc. How do you even know the manufacturer doesn't have their own back doors for law enforcement or one day they wont just decide to take everyone's coins.

Yesterday's dump was the most hilarious fiasco I've ever seen. The guy with the 800 BTC that dumped at 14.7 later bought again at... 14.7. Clearly, he was surprised BTC didn't go below 14K as he expected. Pathetic!

He bought it on eBay and the seller had already set up the secret word list.

There are dozens for sale on Ebay. All those listing should be reported / removed.

Oh, TERA2 you´ll have to read up, nobody can help you better, than yourself. Hardware wallets are a wonderfull thing, Just never, and i repeat: ever, buy a used one, can you do that ?
It´s not that difficult.

I'm not a computer scientist kind of guy and I don't like maths. My strengths lies in other areas of specialization.
I have always tried to do and study things I like, rather then pursuing a traditional career and that have lead me on to many interesting paths, crypto being one of them.

However, when I get a bank card I don't give a rat's ass how it actually works, and the bank doesn't tell me either. They just tell me how to use it. The same goes for just about everything else i buy, the TV salesman doesn't tell me how the TV works, just how to use it et cetera.
But when it comes to crypto it's always the other way around, every thread and info page talks ad nauseam about how it works, and very little about how to use it.
I for example no nothing at all about how to use segwit, and yet segwit have been talked about for ages. And I consider myself fairly intelligent. Just imagine then, when average Joe comes to bitcoin and is told to use segwit to lower fees. That won't tell him anything.
Why can't core make a information page that tells you how to use it? And make sure that page is seen among the noobs, and for that matter oldies like me without a degree in computer science. Why do they and everybody else have to talk non stop about incomprehensible technicalities?
I don't give a fuck about the underlying technology, I want to know how to use it.

And by the way, can you make a segwit paper wallet? And if so how?
That is one of the things that core should tell people if they want adoption.

And, yea, I'm grumpy today, I'm out of milk for my breakfast.
Yes I eat breakfast while reading up on this thread.
Anything else you want to know?

[HairyMaclairy]

If it was easy anyone could do it, and there would be no profit in it.  

Bitcoin will be no harder than a TV remote 10 years from now. Point and shoot.

Haha, you´re to much. Try bacon with eggs for a change. Just once. I mean, we have to die sooner or later anyway . . .  

And i read somewhere: eggs are not as bad after all. They are just small chicken.

Why are you so stressed? You can use the CLI in the core client if you want to segwit /s

Seriously they need to fix that asap.

Does anyone know if they intend to build Lightning network support into the Core client GUI?
