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

It's not clear how much Jane Street has made from crypto, but the company said it expects to stay involved in the crypto market as more products are created.

"Jane Street has always taken a considered approach to trading opportunities and will continue to do so," the firm told Business Insider. "As more cryptocurrency products emerge, we expect to be involved."

"As more cryptocurrency products emerge"?? So these fucking Wall Street trading companies think of cryptos as nothing more than products now?

What a fkn farce this space has become.  

I hope Bitcoin and Bitcoiners eat their fkn lunch one day. Down with Wall Street! Down with fiat! Down with the corrupt financial establishment!

Why do you think BTC futures emerged.

Oh, come on! Cardano? What the hell is that shit?

Just look at that beautiful, textbook perfect pump and dump chart.

Did you fall for it?

By the end of this bearish episode, all the alts will look so goddam cheap it'll be tempting even for some hardcore bitcoiners to toy with them.

I watched Litecoin go from a $48 pump to a $1.30 dump two years later.

No one's shitcoin is safe from total wipeout. Not even remotely close.

Perfect indeed. Reminds me a lot to IOTA: https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/iota/

A friend of mine fall on the IOTA shit. He didn't listen. He is still bagholding.

I think Bob has sold his account to pay for his due taxes. Can't blame him, that's always better than getting rid of some BTC.

Bob could be BTC flustlated, and desperately accepting the temptations of the altcoin savior propagandistas.

My sources say that he is looking more like James Brown these days, which may not be a good look for him.

[mike4001]

In other news.....Ethereum is being smashed downwards mercilessly today.

Actually Ethereum is one of the more stable Altcoins at the moment.
Only down by 2% in relation to BTC.

Cardano is looking cheap enough that I'm almost... ALMOST... thinking of saying "meh, why not..."

EDIT: Not gonna do it tho, for... reasons.

Yeah you "could" invest in Altcoins at the moment because their pump will come sooner or later.

But I lost several times doing this so I am out and just leave everything in BTC (ok, and BCH because I never sold it)

[HairyMaclairy]

I scalped ~2% out of Cardano last time it dumped.   It was a close cut thing and I won’t do it again.  

These shitcoins are going on a one way trip and it’s not worth playing the bounces.  

[TERA2]

This is one of my favorite altcoin fails. From $27K to $27M and all the way back down.

Awesome - that was off my radar - can see a few others going that way too

I reckon most bitcoiners baghold a pet shitcoin or 2 for shitz n giggles.
Though most probably won't admit to it in this thread.
(well I won't anyway... and besides it's OT, though that hasn't really been an issue lately.)

PAC was my personal favourite.



The market cap evaporated at the same time the price spiked - they did some sort of 10,000:1 consolidation.

Was it a d_eddie scalp ^(tm)  or some other random inconsequential non-name brand variety?

segwit2x delayed until 2018


still nothing from DCG except the tea-girl

I got in trouble for this - calling Meltem Demirors the tea-girl of the Digital Currency Group.

How can I have over-estimated her so?

She is the floor-scrubber for that pit of scammers.

[moneyForjam]

WO- the only place where a correction becomes a P&D, except of course btc

[bluebits]

This is one of my favorite altcoin fails. From $27K to $27M and all the way back down.

Scenario: New Years 2019
BTC Price: 3800

'Prime' Alts

ETH   .043   165
XRP    3k     .10
LTC    .008   30
BCH    .08    304
XMR   .015    57

I would consider these numbers as reflecting prices that held up pretty well.

Topics:

-Will any alts diverge significantly before the crash is over? A new bull run in 202x will see big winners that outperform, can any existing alts outperform (less relative loss counts) in a crash?

-Are these numbers reasonable? Is there any chance that a crash doesn't hurt alts more than BTC? They are all up way more this run in % terms, so simple thought is that they have much further to fall.

UPDATE     AND GOOD LUCK

can't wait to visit all the new hights ..... i'm just not a very patient person only on BTC i remain to stay patient ....... the rewards are so big for just beeing patient

well the 1 btc at 475 july 2016 i think it was worked out well for Lisk...6500 of them

and moved LTC mining to BTC like 99.999% of everyone from back in the day.the case could be made should never have

moved any LTC to BTC at all...would be way way ahead now paper profit wise

it all depends on the direction you slipped into this ...me from mining since 2013 how it has played out

but mining may be back to hobby mode (couple units for fun) by the end of this year

spending crypto for dubious asic miners makes no sense anymore

so my Sh*tcoins have been berry, berry good to me!

(also the BTC hoard is in tact since 2015 also ..thou shall not be touched!...my beanie babies someday...so be it!)

mine, mine, mine

Great stuff from Bloomberg there.
What do you reckon the real figure for ownership is? 0.5%?

The study found that the majority of crypto buyers are Millennials, with more than 17 percent claiming to have holdings, as compared with 8.75 percent of Gen Xers and 2.24 percent of Baby Boomers. Of those who took the plunge, most invested in Bitcoin or Ether coins.

look like  many are young buyers. 20 years older, 2 times less percent of buyers.

I could never summon a crumb of respect for a person with a name that stupid, let alone via their actions.

It sounds like a failed Indonesian supercar project.
