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

[Searing]

My grandma is 93 years old, and she was asking me about Bitcorn the other day. That was a bit surprising.

Tell her to buy and hodl!

At her age ...tell her to get a reverse mortgage, splurge it all on BTC, and hope it pumps 100% in the next 6 months and cash out and spend it all...!!!

(serve you right...sending her down this evil crypto path of riches)

Agree with most of that except the opening. Dash is nothing like Monero and not trying to be.

You are absolutely right:
Monero is decentralized, fairly distributed, without a premine, and truly private.

Dash is none of those.

But this is a bitcoin thread.  I am probably one of the biggest proponents of Monero, but in here I stick to BITCOIN.  Monero is one of the VERY few actually decentralized altcoins with utility.  It will survive as a child of BTC along with Litecoin, and... and... well there *could* be no others.

Good grief you really drinking the cool aid. You don't know what shady stuff is going on in the Monero distribution by design. But the cripple mine at launch is well known. So get the fuck outta here with that nonsense. Yes this is a bitcoin thread, so why you guys keep bringing monero into it and obsessing over Dash.

The huge buy wall at $9300 on finex tells me the price is going down.

MFI crossed the bottom Bollinger line, we are going up.

How do people send bitcoin over email these days?

coinbase allows it. not sure how it works though but iirc the recipient gets the email with instructions on how to open an account there to claim them.

EDIT i thought in the past there were issues if the recipient either never claimed them (never signed up) or could not open a coinbase account due to location or some such. those coins did not return to the sender. this was a while ago so maybe things have changed since then?

You can use the 'textcoin' feature of Byteball to send something via email (or whatsapp or whatever) if you want to send some crypto to someone. Also, the claim back feature works flawlessly.

Usually there is a rally around the time of this event: https://www.coindesk.com/events/consensus-2018/

Wonder if it will be the same this year.

btw which exchanges are affiliated with the demo(n)crats and particularly the hillary/obama clans? just to be sure I watch the walls in reputable places... and not dent of thieves, pedos, traitors and co .

My grandma asked me if I was a big blocker.
I said “wait, what?!...You know about all that Bitcoin stuff?!”
She said “Bitcoin?? Wtf is that?...and what does it have to do with football?.....”

man i still think of "big blocker" as a gearhead term for those who prefer large block (vs small block high revving) car engines.

old, i am.

IIRC I think it was you that picked the fight:

Monero with its opaque blockchain. You don't know who stealth mined in huge quantities and you trust that there isnt an exploit or bug allowing someone to mint any quantity of XMR they like. You don't have a richlist. You can't analyise the blockchain at all, You assume its all good. Yay. Monero. Its name even means something in esperanto. And it has a wallet now

Just sayin.

More Gox coins on the move, this time 8k BTC might get sold soon, besides the 16k BTC that moved 12 days ago.

Why bitcoin could rally more than 70% in the coming week, Fundstrat’s Lee says:

[ivomm]

If this is not bullish, I don't know what is:

Some of the biggest names on Wall Street are warming up to bitcoin, a virtual currency that for nearly a decade has been consigned to the unregulated fringes of the financial world.
The parent company of the New York Stock Exchange has been working on an online trading platform that would allow large investors to buy and hold bitcoin, according to emails and documents viewed by The New York Times and four people briefed on the effort who asked to remain anonymous because the plans were  still confidential.
....
Goldman will initially only be trading futures contracts linked to bitcoin’s price. But Goldman executives said they were looking at moving in the direction of buying and selling actual bitcoins.
The Intercontinental Exchange’s effort, if it pans out, could make bitcoin available to a much wider and more influential customer base, including other financial firms.

Interesting to see these predictions for a rally post Consensus. I was going to sell a little bit to pay for Champions League Final tickets but I think I might use fiat for the tickets & flights. I don’t want to end up selling 0.5 bitcoin & miss a big pump.
