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

[bitserve]

Next weeks is when we start receiving calls from friends asking where to buy Bitcoin... again. Yup, the same ones that during the past months were so happy they didn't BTFD. But those are the "early-callers"... Real FOMOers will wait until it tops again.

Yep, I am sure you're right - but sometimes a little frisson of interest presages a lot more FOMO.  Post 10K (if / when it comes) media could kick in a little.  I can see 'Is Bitcoin back?' press showing in pretty quickly....  Stocks are looking shit, why not?

Hairy is probably right about consolidation being a good thing... but

Hard to say... Last time everything went so fast that it had to implode as it did... OTOH, FOMO pumps are so fun!

Whatever. I don't have no hurry as soon as it keeps bullish. And yeah, the headlines about Bitcoin's phoenix recovery and being over $10K again will be all over the place.

Life is good again

Against BTC, CMC is a sea of red just now.   I can't see 10K tonight, but when it pops into 5 figures it looks like a lot of cash will move over fast.

Awesome guys...your back and in fine form.

+10 WOsMerit airdrop!

This is is prep for the upcoming $10k meme fest that is brewing. #dyor

Ok..we have 3 semi-finalist

the Rocket gif...just can hardly take my eyes off that.  Nice.
The Lambo ...same thing..looks like a lot of fun but man..those things are hard to get in and out of..ahem..for some of us old farts.  
the BFR...well..just because its a Big Freakin Rocket..lol. Keenly following the die build up happening in LA.

-----------------
Bitcoin
Solidly approaching mid-channel on this lower track. Looks good. I expect this to continue past 10k..the magnet is sitting at 11.8k or something last time I looked. This does not mean we might go straight there...bounces, accumulation and consolidation still will happen. Never be afraid to lock in profit.

Can't argue with that. I feared a long crypto winter. But I want to start believing it's not going to happen.

motherfucking EOS

what the fuck??

TRON?  jesus fucking christ people

EDIT: Holy crap. I just recognized I've attained Legendary status. I spend waaaay too much time here...  

bob...you been legendary since I came back, like, a year ago

And I thought my memory was fucked for a moment.

Or maybe I've just been oblivious for that long and haven't noticed until today.

Bitcorn, and this thread, do strange things to my head after a long-enough time...

I have good memory and I can positively say you were hero until very recently (probably today). I remember because I also always had the "perception" you were legendary and some day I realized you were not. Your head is surely fucked... but not for that

CONGRATS BOB!

Some sideways consolidation around $9400 for a few days would be healthy.

I agree. Its going up too fast.

IMO he is right, at least for me XMR is the No2 after Bitcoin. And i think thats the case for many bitcoiners. Dash doesnt stand a chance sry.

  Thats funny.

But you can keep your opaque blockchain, makes it fungible right? In which you have to trust without being able to verify that no-one is minting coins sneakily via an exploit or bug. Or you can have privacy hoping that the single point of failure encryption wont be cracked revealing all your transactions. Like here http://hackingdistributed.com/2017/04/19/monero-linkability/ Not to mention slow transactions, bloated blockchain.. Think bitcoin has scaling problems? But Monero does now have a wallet, which is progress.

You're wrong about everything except the bloated blockchain (the linkability problem existed, but was fixed over a year ago). Post that in the Monero Speculation Thread

I am not emotionally ready for $10,000

My mind's telling me "no", but my body's telling me "yes".

Code:

I am Yueluo from the 2014 Foreign Languages Institute. I was one of the eight students who submitted the “Information Disclosure Application Form” to Peking University on the morning of April 9. I dragged my tired body and wrote this text to illustrate some of the things that have happened to me recently.
one
After April 9th, I was constantly interviewed by faculty members and leaders of the college, and it continued twice until midnight or even two. During the conversation, the student teacher repeatedly mentioned "Can you graduate successfully," "Do what your mother and grandmother do," and "Student teacher has the right not to contact you directly by your parents." While I was preparing my graduation thesis recently, frequent interruptions and subsequent psychological pressures severely affected my thesis writing.
two
At noon on April 20, I received a reply from the school. The Secretary of the Party Committee of the School of Foreign Languages, the teacher of the Xuegong and the head teacher were present. The secretary of the Party Committee read to me the answer to the open information application of the school:
1. Discussing that Shenyang Shide's meeting level is not enough
2. The investigation results of the Public Security Bureau are not in the scope of school management
3. The content of the public review in Shenyang was not found due to work errors in the Chinese Department.
The result of this reply disappointed me. However, the submission of graduation thesis will soon be closed, I can only focus on thesis writing.
three
At about 11 pm on April 22, the counselor suddenly called me, but because the time was late, I did not receive it. At one o'clock in the morning, the counselor and his mother suddenly came to my dormitory and forced me to wake up and asked me to delete all the information related to the information disclosure incident on my mobile phone and computer. After dawn, I went to the teacher to make a written guarantee Involved in this matter. Students on the same floor can testify. Later, I was taken home by my parents and I can't return to school at the moment.
My mother and I were awake all night. Schools misrepresented the facts when they contacted their mothers, causing mothers to be overly frightened and emotionally collapsed. Because of the unreasonable intervention of the school, my relationship with my mother was almost broken. The current action of the college has already broken the bottom line. I feel fear and anger.
What is the crime of applying for information disclosure? I did not do anything wrong, nor would I regret having submitted the "Information Disclosure Application Form" to exercise my honorable rights as a college student in Beijing.
Twenty years of envy, I love my mother. In the face of her sorrowful cry, self-sacrifice, kneeling requests, and threats of suicide, my heart is bleeding. In her plea, I can only return home temporarily, but I can't stand back from principle. Compromise can't solve any problems. I have no choice but to write this statement and state the story.
Emotional, please forgive me for being incoherent.
four
Here, I formally submitted the following demands to the School of Foreign Languages ​​of Peking University:
1. The School of Foreign Languages ​​of Peking University should openly state in writing the rules and regulations on which I have pressured parents, forced me to interview me in the morning and asked me to delete the relevant information on the disclosure of application information. Illegal and non-compliance operations should be clearly defined during this process. And take measures to prevent such incidents from happening again.
2. The Peking University School of Foreign Languages ​​should immediately cease all acts of pressure on my family, formally apologize to my already frightened mother, clarify the facts, and help repair the family tension caused by the incident.
3. The School of Foreign Languages ​​of Peking University must make an open written guarantee that this matter will not affect my graduation and will not continue to interfere with my dissertation writing process.
4. The School of Foreign Languages ​​of Peking University is responsible for eliminating all adverse effects of this matter on my studies, future employment and family members.
5. The School of Foreign Languages ​​of Peking University should make a clear written response to the appeal and give it to everyone concerned.
I will retain all legal rights to further investigate the responsibilities of relevant individuals and units, including but not limited to reporting to Peking University and higher authorities the serious violation of school regulations by the Foreign Language Institute.

Rate of new Bitcoin ATM installations keeps rising, now at an average (for the last seven days) of 10 new every day:

It looks like we will have more than 5000 at years end... and we started the year with 2000 just 4 months ago.

I supposse that once a certain density is reached, different franchises will have to lower the fees in order to be competitive.
