I don't think that any of us can deny that it is mainly whales pushing the price up and pushing it down.
This really has nothing to do with typical sentiment of the average user or some sort of good or bad news. Other than the fact that the whales may believe that the market will not fight them in one move or another as they swing things back and forth.
The key being, which way do these whales want the price to go? Well they are certainly not in bitcoin because they read the white paper and were inspired. They have balance sheets that need big profits.
We will see. I really do wish Wall Street would stay out of bitcoin. Bitcoin can grow without it, and will likely be around long after it.

Was about to say, time to take out another mortgage. I don't think that any of us can deny that it is mainly whales pushing the price up and pushing it down.

Isn't the average user generally just a follower? As much as I'm sure that there are some, I can't think of an example where the average user/consumer actually drives anything without being coerced to do so in one way or another.

Analysis by some Wall Street analyst that was on "awesome investor list" back in 2014. If this guy is such a great investor, did he see the bitcoin price rise coming in 2014 when he was at the top of his game? Was he advising people with his analysis to buy bitcoin? If not this guy's outlook on the future is shit.

Elwar, can you repeat the story here that you've told here before, about a local bitcoin sale you did long ago, that did not go well?
Is that a real animal? it looks like a juvenile of a species from the Galaxiidae family of freshwater fish ... native to NZ (and a few other s. hemisphere countries). Colloquially know as whitebait and considered a delicacy.

Either that or the scale in the background is not 0.5 cm per square like I'm used to. Or perhaps NZ whitebait is overall larger the ones in Japan, or Japan uses them even younger. Uhh.

Go and share this in every shitcoin telegram group you are in. (Than shame yourself, why you are in a shitcoin telegram group?) Funny how the payment is made in Bitcoin and not in other shitcoins. I guess Bitcoin is the thing that is valuable, eh?

I guess Bitcoin is the thing that is valuable, eh? I still see it as the new USD, while others will be more akin to foreign currency or equity. You generally don't seek payment in stocks, but in USD. Bitcorn won't be different and the parallels are quite interesting. One set of people coming up with money and another group copying them with their own version. It's quite funny how everything in life just repeats itself.

Based on the 5 and 10 intervals, it should be a 1mm grid in the background. Making the eye transparent would not work since it would collect stray light from everywhere, so it opted for the next best thing: make as reflective as possible. edit: No one is selling at stamp. buy just 3400 BTC and the price will be at $20k.

Yes, it is an alternative to BTC. That makes it an altcoin.

I'm mostly in ethereum so I may be fucked. I guess I don't really consider coins like eth and monero to be alts. I know technically anything that isn't bitcoin is an alt, but when I hear altcoins I automatically think of shitcoins with no future.
