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

[btcbeliever]

If it manages to hold above 7k this time, this will be the second higher low. All three bottoms are nice and evenly spaced out too. Confidence that the bottom is in could be all that we need in order to make new all time highs in short order.

New All Time Highs in short order - that has such a beautiful sound to it!

Where does a cockroach r0ach hide in winter bull season?


Bitcoin's looking bullish; as soon as we go on a run, people like realr0ach will go away.

A bull market will not deter realr0ach. Just like a roach, he is tenacious. During a bull run, we are bound to hear the exact same arguments again and again. We will also hear much about Bitfinex painting the tape with Tethers. R0ach used to be a trader. However, I believe that he was turned off by the bullshit he perceived as happening with Bitfinex. When Bitfinex has "hacked" in late 2016, I think that was the final straw for him. Perhaps if Bitfinex would just go belly up, that would make R0ach go away. However, there are a lot more players in this space pulling some dubious shit, so I doubt it.

E.g. BitMEX that has been running its own for-profit trading subsidiary on its own platform...

Regarding realr0ach, most of you are getting to worked up over his posts.

Coinbase has launched "Coinbase Custody".
https://custody.coinbase.com/

This is an important step towards Wall Street adoption and SEC approval for ETF. Unlike futures, the custody means that coinbase is buying the bitcoins and storing them securely for their clients. If say, 5 bln is invested in bitcoins, this would mean theoretically 666 666 bitcoins at the price of $7500. Currently in Gdax there are 7500 bitcoins on ask orders up to the price 19000. Well, some action is about to begin, that's for sure!

"Today, the more than $365 billion invested in Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies is owned almost entirely by individual investors—not by Wall Street institutions....

Institutional investment could make the bull market of 2017 look like foreplay... no not even that... hand holding.

Need a whale to give this a little more push to let the stops and bots do their thang.

Why do all experts, whales and dickheads insist that capitulation has not occurred and cry, beg, scream, insist for lower prices?

I saw capitulation on Feb 5th!

yes, we did see it

reason for my bullish sentiment

the volume, oh yes the volume

Presumably on joining up there's a box you can tick that read 'please only buy off market. I don't want to enrich the little shits that hang out on your crappy exchange.'

True capitulation about 8 bleedin' weeks from an all time high? Don't be daffy.

I've known many trolls in my day and realr0ach is by far one of the more entertaining. I don't really even mind him. Look at that meme you just made, it's awesome and hilarious and it wouldn't exist without him. He's almost like our pet or something.

Bitcoin is going to $20k again...how do i know?

We'll see, might as well start our way down to touch the trend line at 7k

I know the pump the other day made a lot of people bullish but we might want to wait for some confirmation. We're still below the ichimoku cloud, below all EMA's, and the volume isn't all that great.

We'll see, patience

Good morning Bitcoinland.

I see we're back over $7.5kUSD... currently $7555USD/$9801CAD (Bitcoinaverage).

Tried to buy a couple of thousand fiat bucks at my local low-sell-fee ATM but the General Bytes machine had run out of thermal paper to print my redeem ticket so I had to wait until today. Nice to see the price up a wee.

The price rise may be small but every little bit helps when you're an old-age pensioner trying to eke out a living selling small amounts of Bitcoin.  

How old are you, if you don't mind me asking?

Jimbo was floating through space before Earth's creation. Some say he even existed before time, in a universe that was a mirror of our own.
