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

Well I for one do believe that we will see USD 1M within five years.
And I still believe we will se USD 80k end of year.

Thanks for answering. C'on people don't be shy and express your feelings about it.

Are there any good analysis of how much BTC Bitmain holds?

No way. They point their hash rate at several different pools and it's impossible to tell in what proportion, or to really follow the payouts. Supposedly Jihan Wu has remarked in private that he controls a majority of the hash rate. Considering Bitmain's position over the past couple years..... someone in that position is highly incentivized to withhold supply from the market too. I wouldn't be surprised if Bitmain's coins outnumbered the Satoshi coins. But who knows? We'll never know...

10 years is too soon.  $1 million in 12 years - after 3 halvenings.

last time I heard you were struggling to make your Q1 tax payments...

Struggling ? That is not an accurate assessment. I'm doing pretty well, brother. Have been very blessed and fortunate.

What is your issue ? You are a bit too salty for my taste, friend.

You really didn't appreciate the irony? 

I know you are doing extraordinarily well, that was precisely the point of the joke. Gezzz, not even me would need thoset $100 for anything... much less you....

Eh, read you wrong I guess.

Apologies.

Kinda sensitive lately. Stuff and things IRL got me more sullen than usual.

Good night everyone.

Np bro, maybe it was also a bit fault on my part with the wording (or the lame joke itself). English is not my language you know and jokes/irony are even more prone to misunderstanding in any case.

Shit, it's dipping again.

We have the the network effect which leads to s-curve adoption AND a perfect inelastic supply, which in itself gives a very rapid price rise when demand increases.
These two factors together leads to a never before seen price increase.

Hilarious. The scammer not being triggered by bitcoin/BCH makes me think this is even real, on the other hand any Nigerian would have gone for the ICO :-)

Edit: The bch address lacks entropy. It looks suspiciously like someone used two hands on a qwerty keyboard to make a "random" key. A Bech32 key encoding (without capitals) should also have started with "bc1".

Go look at btc dominance and tell me more about a limited supply.

I don't understand the question.

based on s curve and wave adoptions mathematically the next wave is

2013 $100
2014 $1000
2017 $10000
2018 $100000
2021 $1000000
2022 $10000000

I imagine anywhere from now and onwards BTC could simply be replaced or saturated with other markets

resulting in a cap somehwere

That's pretty much what I believe as well.

Show me a coin other than BTC, ETH or XMR that deserves to have a value above zero.

[Last of the V8s]

really need a better v-bottom before investing that much

[luckygenough56]

you can print dollars but you can print altcoins as well.

Same thing, always a way to print. Don't be fools.

Euro's (as long as scrap metal prices stay above zero)

I don't understand the question.
BTC dominance have nothing at all to do with the price.

The relevance is, if someone wants to use crypto they are not forced to use bitcoin, and altcoins absorb market cap that bitcoin could have had, lowering bitcoin's price in the long run and also removing arguments about scarcity because crypto is anything but scarce now.

There will come a point when every single ERC20 hasn’t delivered on its roadmap and people will start to wisen up.  As one example, the market is saturated with Storj copycats.  You aren’t going to get people excited about decentralized storage anymore.  

All “X on a blockchain” are shitty ideas except currency and tokens representing assets.

There are no decent competitors in the currency space except possibly XRB which has got nightmare scaling problems. ETH seems to have the tokens market sewn up.  XMR is leading the privacy currency space. Lightning, if consumer friendly, will do away with the need for LTC.  

I haven’t seen any convincing arguments about why VEN needs a blockchain and how they will stop corrrupt data being entered onto the chain. BCH, EOS and ADA are obvious scams, IOTA couldn’t untangle itself from a wet paper bag and I don’t need to discuss XRP, XLM or TRX.  

There really isn’t anything else useful or helpful that I have seen anywhere in the cryptosphere.  Happy to be told I am wrong and am missing things and for those things to be pointed out.
