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

[HairyMaclairy]

It makes perfect sense.  I despised the gold farmers like most players but there were some who claimed to make a living from it. Not the Chinese, the real money was with uberguild leaders who exit scammed.  

The more I think about it, the more parallels I can see....

If Bitcoin closes above 11147 in 2.75 hours from now, that would be bullish and Boblawblaw should then be able to stick to his retirement plans and sell @ 12500 very soon.

So, good luck to you if you find yourself with only sporadic appearances in the official books of state, if you are a rural migrant without a recorded birthdate, identifiable parents, or an ID number. Sorry if you lack markers of stability, if you are a rogue traveller without permanent address, phone number or email. Apologies if you have no symbols of status, if you're an informal economy hustler with no assets and low, inconsistent income. Condolences if you have no official stamps of approval from gatekeeper bodies, like university certificates or records of employment at a formal company. Goodbye if you have a poor record of engagements with recognised institutions, like a criminal record or a record of missed payments.

Thanks for sharing this. It moved me.

Don't know if you guys frequent the "Mining" section but its brutal there.


Basically Bitmain pulling another Bitmain and over-supplying the market with an ASIC for SIA. Noobs ordering a bunch of units expecting $500/day and while UPS is dropping off these ASICs the difficulty triples in about a day.

Also people going CRAZY over GPUs. People basically paying $1500 for GPUs and Computer Stores either Out of Stock on PSUs or REFUSING to sell PSUs without a Mobo+CPU combo.


While I'm just chilling and mining on my good old 7970 from the Litecoin days on my old trusty Corsair 750W with ROI being the least of my worries.

On January 20th, 2018, at block height of 505050, a hard fork will happen on Bitcoin (BTC) blockchain and create a new blockchain asset - Bitvote (Token: BTV; Website: http://bitvote.one/). Bitvote (BTV) increases its blocksize to 8MB and adopts SegWit, which to a large degree has improved it transaction efficiency. BTV supports CPU mining with CryptoNight algorithm and has a total supply of 21 million.

You know the other day with the big mem pool spike. I traced one of the spam address's back to ViaBTC.   They have something going on over there for sure.

People are mining on Nvidia these days?

I am calling for a nice little spike within 36 hours.

I'll keep HODLing on my $12.5k sell order for another 36 hours.

If it plunges below $10k, I will find you, and make you my bitch.

No lube.

Whoaza!!!!!!

Prediction making has consequences these days.   Us HODLers, and perhaps especially Toxic, are hoping for a spike in the upwards direction in the coming day and a half.

Regarding my own predicting abilities, I frequently am pretty whimpy in that respect.  I consider that currently we have a BTC  price battle that is largely ranging in the $10k to $12.5k arena, so certainly Bob is betting on price movement into the upper end of the range - which seems to be reasonable, yet really nothing to write home about until we bounce either above the range into the $13ks or below the range, into the 4 digits.  Maybe I am close to 50/50 in my current thinking regarding which way the break out is going to go, and I suppose that if I was forced in either direction, I would give a slightly more favorable to up.. perhaps 51%

[supremnoob]

What close is in next 1hr from now in your oppinion?
11208 right now!

yup, for alt coins. then exchange for btc.

vs amd, they cost more up front but are more power efficient in the long term.

Is bitcoin dead if it doesn't close above 11147?

Um ... yeah.
In my case, the past 4 years and counting...

enlighten us here (asic owner since 2013) is there still a good enough reason to get GPU's for mining...or is this fading?

curious

(i have ONE 1080 gpu card with my alienware R7 laptop for the computer/crypto biz (cough!) and of course got the espansion chassis to add the option to mine coins (cough!..hey...I

see you roflao about that ...I mean would I really use this as a crypto equip deduction just to game? (cough...er choking as I type this)

best 5k I ever spent at the high on BTC......as a crypto computer equip deduction (cough!) ......but alas..the biz needed a new laptop (ducks from thrown items in bitcointalk

hey..someone could take out my eye here!)

anyway, worked for me and GPU mining (cough!) now if I actually could figure out HOW to GPU mine.this may make more sense...but so far ..games (er I mean) crypto research

is keeping me occupied enough.
