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

[Elwar]

I know an investment adviser with 500 clients.  I am the only person he knows that holds crypto.

I asked my investment advisor in 2011 if I should invest in Bitcoin. He just laughed (after I explained what it was). He was like...."you Ron Paul guys...".

I’m never going to be able to buy coffee with shitposts.

You can if we add lightning payments to the trollbox !

I don’t think you have really thought through the consequences of what you are suggesting.

You are probably right.

All I'm suggesting is if someone makes a truly amusing comment or something in the trollbox, fuck sMerit, send him a cheap BTC micropayment for the funny, via LN.

I'm sure the backend setup would be a bit of a nightmare, and getting users onto the network and get channels funded would take some time, but being forward-looking, I bet we see something like this roll out in the next year. Not here, but elsewhere. Maybe.

That, sir, would be a perfect use case for LN initial testing and deployment on scale.

I was more worried about coming home, smelling smoke and finding charred troll and shitposts all over the ceiling.

My Auditor for my government regulated investment fund advised me 3 years ago and every year since to invest in other options besides crypto.

I just keep laughing

He has suggested the fund runs at a high risk and should be under further review, yet I have x10 on my initial investment

I just know there is going to be a huge post pump-n-dump as soon as I go to sleep.

[Jacques_Bittard]

I think that we'll have a nice weekday dump today, as expected during bear markets.

There are also lottery winners with x100000000 on their initial investment. What fools everyone are on not buying up the lottery.

Yup.  I managed to take out about 4x my initial investment and still end up with the same number of coins due to selling into this crash and rebuying.  Next time around I will focus on increasing my stack.

It seems this sideway action leads to 10000 in April.

And then... who knows...

I have discussed bitcoin with several of my relatives, who are much better financially established than me (at least before bitcoin) who use financial advisors, and when I discuss bitcoin with them, each of them seems very trigger shy, even when I talk with them about low level of dollar cost averaging exposure. 

One of my uncles recently seemed to be coming around to the idea because in December he said he was going to "look at" bitcoin after the new year, and then I did not hear from him until last week when he sent me text messages asking me the price direction of bitcoin, and really he was not asking me but instead wanting to confirm his theory to wait until $3k or some other low and unspecified price point.. and further he had mentioned that he was considering GBTC.... Surely I gave him a bit of an earful (in the form of text), but I doubt whether he is really listening to me, even though I have been periodically mentioning this Bitcoin stuff to him for about 3.5 years or so (since about August 2014).

My point is that smart peeps with financial advisors might be worse off than those who do not rely upon financial advisors because it remains quite difficult for so many smart people to get the recommendations of their financial advisor out of their head.. and then the ongoing onslaught of the mainstream media that nearly always is either talking about bitcoin bubble or it's imminent death or fear of govt regulation or some other nonsubstantiated corporate shill and bearish claims.

who tells those normie clowns about their crypto?  nothin to worry their little heads about, their advice is not needed nor valuable here.  They need to concentrate on trying to catch up with inflation, and other little numbers.

The general consensus is we are going down further, maybe to re-test the 6k range or below.  Im hoping we do so I can go all in.  What a great opportunity it was last time and I missed out.  I dont plan on making the same mistake again.

Looks like the Great Battle for Page 20000 was fought when the Old World was asleep. It is calm now, but it may resume this night, or morning for the most of the participants...

This is be called bitcoin, it is not about "general consensus" because honey badger doesn't give a ratt's ass about "general consensus."

20000 pages!

I think that was a wise move since now your post is already 3 pages behind

So you have been advising your adviser? You should charge him.

Financial advisers, can't believe that actually is a profession.

[Jacques_Bittard]

The level of financial advisory in this thread is overwhelming
