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

[sirazimuth]

I recently ordered some "physical bitcoins" as a novelty gift, and I must say, they're absolutely stunning. At the price they come at they make a great gift for starting a conversation. Hell, you could even try to order a beer with one and it'd be cheaper then paying with real bitcoins!

How do they work, do they have a private key engraved?

It so how do you know the designer/maker won’t sweep them?

No key, just a novelty gift. They have no value other then what the receiving party would be prepared to give for it.

Awhile back I read a thread somewhere on here that some company did just that.
i.e ...actually engraved the priv key with a “sealed” hologram or some such thing and sold
the various bitcoin valued coins they fabricated.
And guess what ended up happening?
Not too hard to figure out...lol

From 12 to 8 is a 33% variation. Maybe this kind of variation will be the norm now.

Double the price from 6 to 12, fall to 8, then double again to 16, fall to around 10, then double again to 20. How much time would this take?

I dont think we can reach 100k this year anymore. For that, we would be at 20k right now.

But we can still reach 50-70k by the end of the year.

Sure, why not!? Historically the price was perfectly predictable and never did anything remotely unexpected, so this is a given. My rough guesstimate would be 67-68 days. It's hard to be more precise, sorry about that.

Or to not make investment decisions based on advice from random guys on a forum.

Been proven time & time again that TA & regular stock markets, historical data etc is mostly not relevant to bitcoin. This beast does what it wants.

Wave B, Wave C = bull shit, let’s wait & see.

bitcoin is like

[Blucoba]

You mean the Casascius coins?  Lots of those still out there unswept, they are legit.

They are collectors items now. They are worth more as a collectors item than the value of the bitcoins they contain.

This is the board people sell them in.

Not really sure actually. A random thread here a couple years ago.
Coins got swept . Company owner claimed inside job and vowed to
find culprit and repay customers. The usual story.
Never heard how it panned out in the end tho.

Good morning Bitcoinland.

The battle for $11K continues... currently $11003USD/$41200CAD (Bitcoinaverage).

We've been stuck here for a week now. At least we're still in 5 digits.

Still, it's getting boring.

I always got a chuckle out of Casascius coins. They're a 360 degree turnaround on gold and silver certificates.

Instead of using paper tokens to represent metal money, they use metal tokens to represent digital ("paper") money.

In 2011: moon at $10
In 2012: moon at $100

--this thread is made--

In 2013: moon at $1000
In 2014-17: moon at $10000
In 2018-20: moon at a million dollar (John laughs at those who didn't listen to him)

Now I'll come back to this thread in 2020.

They're legit and always will be. There are few others that sure as shit are not and were emptied.

I've always found it really weird the hall pass people gave physical coin creators when it came to the handling of private keys. They're just another anon prick. Just because they're gluing a private key to a lump of metal does not mean it magically spirits away their dodgy as fuck tendencies.

[B1tUnl0ck3r]

BTCP is such a joke !!! I can't stop being bewildered by the sheer ignorance of some... the guy looted zec, then looted with zen, then with his btcp... Who can believe that this shitcoin is "bitcoin"... They just merged their zcl into a fork of btc and pretend to be btc.

I don't know if physical BTC are still a big thing. Back in the day though, the price was significantly lower. It made sense to buy physical BTC as a collectors item when it was like $15.
