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

[realr0ach]

It's beyond comical how rigged this market is by the same single entity constantly trying to paint the tape ever since the $200 price range.  Soon as price dumps near $10k, here comes the Bitfinex spoofer to place all of his fake 1000 btc walls to try and paint a perfect double bottom, then immediately tries to spike it afterwards.  Even the metals market, which is rigged 24/7/365 looks less rigged than BTC.  

The only difference is, the ESF manipulates metals down, while this single entity always attempts to manipulate BTC up.  Kind of makes you wonder why the govt sanctions the ESF to rig metals down while being fully capable of doing the exact same thing with bitcoin, yet this mysterious entity rigging BTC is always trying to push it upwards instead.  That is, unless the (((govt))) wants bitcoin to go up to try and force people into a centralized tracking system instead of buying metals...

Can you give a basic explanation of the logic behind that? I don't understand how the Cme futures scam works.

Futures were announced and we had the manipulated bull run November and first few weeks of December.
The manipulators behind the scenes recognized a large price drop and FUD would cause many investors (especially new regular joes) to panic sell.
Take out short positions in those futures contracts.
Manipulate the price down so all the weak hands sell using the regular FUD crypto news like korea etc.
Buy more near the bottom/dips and cash in on short positions = win win.

Another theory Ive seen is the larger miners wanting to squeeze new miners out by making btc less profitable to mine.  They again take short positions in futures and paint the tape all the way down.

Either way there is rampant price manipulation.  There is a thread around here somewhere where the OP tells everyone in advance that the market is going to crash on  monday 15th.  Im sure his accuracy was just random hmm.

So the Weiss grades come out today...

Anyone else kinda bracing for impact?  I have a feeling buying ripple right now could be a good bet. It will get a B which will be the highest grade.(I just threw up in my mouth a little) 

And I predict a D or C at best for bitcoin.

I will be pleasantly surprised if I am wrong.

I have met people at conferences that are running the crypto projects inside banks. They think Ripple is a turd.

If Ripple gets highly rated, then we know the ratings are a sham. If banks are using anything it’s R3 / Corda. Even that seems to be falling out of favour.  I guess Mike Hearn isn’t setting the world on fire after all.

...god dammit... 2 months mining at slush only to not notice my payout address had been changed. https://blockchain.info/address/19o83nfBL3GTWzqXe4hXpggsHJjfhFEZsB that 0.00090136 was mine dang it!

So guys, serious question, if cryptocurrency is not a govt backed scam (banks own the majority of the ETH IPO, and entities like In-Q-Tel own tons of BTC bought for $1 each), why are paid govt shills telling people to dump metals and buy the DOW + cryptocurrency?

The r0ach report 36: Paid govt shills spotted telling people to dump metals and buy DOW + cryptocurrency

http://steemit.com/bitcoin/@r0achtheunsavory/the-r0ach-report-36-paid-govt-shills-spotted-telling-people-to-dump-metals-and-buy-dow-cryptocurrency

They have teams of people posting this stuff on multiple metals sites at the same time. Ever since it was clear that the bottom was in for metals, these "people" immediately descended upon the metals sites like locusts out of nowhere a couple months ago.

When the bottom for bitcoin was in at the $200 range, these same paid shills were all over bitcointalk.org posting the exact same stuff.

Whether they're paid by the govt or banks is semantics. The banks are the govt so it's all the same difference to me. But it's pretty damn clear, these people want you to buy their overpriced DOW and cryptocurrency and sell them your metals that are at the floor cost of production.

So without further commentary, judge for yourself:

Who rates the ratings agencies?

Sorry guys Weiss is a shitbox.

On June 22, 2006, the Commission instituted settled administrative proceedings against Weiss Research, Inc., Martin Weiss, and Lawrence Edelson (collectively, “Respondents”) for violations of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 in connection with their operation of an unregistered investment adviser and the production and distribution of materially false and misleading marketing materials.

The fact that they purport of be able to rate blockchains is utterly ridiculous. What do they know about blockchains??

[HairyMaclairy]

Too much dumb money in crypto. Ratings will move market. Insider trading on ratings will make lots of money. More whale games.  

Edit:   There will be a pre-pump.  What’s pumping now? XRP? Stellar? 

Is it normal for all of Stelllars volume to be on Upbit?  That looks fishy.

How could people investing in imaginary assets that don't even exist be "dumb money"

My theory is slightly different: wall street started loading up on btc once futures were a sure fact, and kept pumping until it established an upward avalanche-momentum when even moms and pops started panic-buying btc above 10K. While the noobs were buying above 10-15K the sharks loaded up on shorts (btc futures are still mostly short), and then, when their target was hit at 20K they pulled the trigger unloading their "physical" btc making out like bandits both because they sold at the top their btc and even more from their futures short bets placed at the top. A perfect controlled demolition, which they will repeat until it works imho, that's why they will let the price pump again after the next futures expiration.
