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

[BTCMILLIONAIRE]

I’m eating a late lunch, sipping champagne & even I will admit this is fucking terrible. I won’t be able to retire for at least another two or three years at this rate.

Let me stress to all those panicking though - You haven’t lost anything if you don’t sell - 1 bitcoin is still 1 bitcoin. HODL & you will be greatly rewarded after the next halving.

Why HODL if you can sell and re-enter at a better price?

I tried that before and every time after i sold some, the price started rising.  

Yeah, just hodl. No point in triggering taxable events when you don't know exactly what's going to happen.

HODL makes sense for small corrections, but something like this - should have gotten out yesterday and look for a place to re-enter. There's plenty of room for margin of error.

Wow went down to 9200

[criptix]

look out for the multi million buy walls getting placed now 
20 k tommorow 

You're giving me some hope to still hodl my bitcoin. But I'm still in the situation that scared in lost income.
Imagine that I brought at 14K per bitcoin and now 9K per bitcoin sound scary right.

Doesn't sound scary to me. Slightly displeasing, but not scary. If it crashed even further you shouldn't have too much of a problem with it because you shouldn't invest more than you can afford to burn. And on the contrary it just means riding out the wave with full confidence in your own decisions.

True story:

My daughter knows that I'm in Bitcoin, and today she asked me if I know that bitcoin is crashing, she saw it somewhere online. I told her that I know, and without me explaining anything about it, she gathered half of her savings and asked me isn't it now good time to buy and can I help her do it?

Makes daddy proud. HODLer by nature.

btc is a failure and useless as a payment system
governments are cracking down on btc trading
ppl buy it as an investment and right now it looks like a shitty investment to make

1 bitcoin is only worth what ppl think its worth

Yes a quarter of a penny 9 years ago

and once ppl figure out it's useless as a payment system
it will be worth that much 9 years from now

is there a platform where u can do that without verification ?

There are several decentralized exchanges around atm where you can do it without verification, volume is not to trade in the mils yet, though.

You never know when there's going to be a small correction or "something like this". And taxes are a very real and substantial cost in most countries. If you flunk your exit and re-entry you'll end up losing more in tax than you would've earned with the short.

What was your answer?

[MNDan]

Seems like quite the coincidence that we hit the ATH around Dec 17th, which is around when the futures market took their first shorting contracts. The first of those contracts close today at 4 PM ET. Not sure how this sort of manipulation continues from here, but it seems obvious that a fair amount of the Dec pump came from traders looking to buy BTC in preparation to dump them and drop the price around - well - today.

[OWZ1337]

Don't worry about 9k, worry about 8k )

I'm not technically "worried" about anything right now. Very curious, though.

I know good 'ole Bitcorn with take root and shoot up again eventually.

It is winter, after-all. Bitcorn doesn't grow well in the winter seasons. It's more of a spring chicken.

BTCBTC clown purge = spook the n00bs :-D weeee

Why jynx it?

Also, funny how this meme is more relevant now than it was on the way up. $9000 just got evaporated in the bull run.

Ah, yeah if you're looking to have off the books stuff, then HODL is appropriate in that case. Though I would've probably considered selling some of the position.

I've just been a little annoyed by the hype heavy HODL youtubers lately, who are obviously sweating this morning but still telling everyone to HODL instead of covering their butts and playing it safe.
