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

[Hueristic]

Recently they introduced ETH/USD perpetual, and the overall fee charged for that is still close to 0.1%, making it 10% for 100x leverage.

BTW, Bitmex is not an exchange and it should not be listed in the comparison of exchanges. At BitMex, you only get BTC back for BTC deposited; this doesn't sound like an exchange at all!

I wasn't aware of that, that is not an exchange at all, so it needs a category of it's own.
I propose Leveraged Trading Platform (LTP).
Thanks.

Its an exchange, but you buy/sell crypto options and not crypto themself.

Casino would be probaly more correct.

The Danse Bank thing is fun, a big chunk of the money was laundered through a small country named Estonia, where I come from. Our annual budget is just over 10bln, so they laundered multiple times more than that. And "nobody" saw it a big joke. But as always, the ones involved just get a slap on the wrist and that's it.

Thats about par for the course with a World Oligarchy.

Good one.

Well that .... seems to be gone but yeah, no doubt in my mind there's some shady shit (shadier than normal that is) going on.

Is the Van Eck the ‘important’ one or is there another on 30 Sept?

Actually, it's the most important one.

So, SEC delays again the ETF and we have a pump? Nice! 6500 again. Smells like an open season for bears hunting! Go BTC, go!

[Wekkel]

Bears are getting smashed around. Not a good time to be a bear (but bulls aren't getting much either). Pigs get slaughtered. So HODL for the ordinary men.

Nice lil pump! Hope we'll breach 7k soon.    #HODL

I'm getting kind of... jealous. This is more than enough.

I could be wrong (like many times before), but I think you're the only one who made those three conclusions.

I am super unique!

My interpretation:

The aVerlanche is going to bring BCH down where it can join the rest of shitcoins.
BTC will remain strong and the only one at the top.
Ethereum is a user friendly (paved road) playground. Anyone with a couple of hours spare time can create a useless token on top of it.

I like it.  It is a better story than mine.

In this instance, you are too modest, cAPSLOCK.  Your criticism of the misleading nature of the pic seems more accurate.  I was thinking something similar regarding the misleading nature of the pic and that it seems to elevate the status of various other alts that are either platforms for shit or shit themselves.   

I am not of the opinion that alt coins do not add anything to the bitcoin space because I do believe that they provide decent avenues for a diverse amount of money to come into the crypto space that will likely get diverted into bitcoin, even though it may take more than 20 years to play out - because 1) there is a lot of dumb money out there that will take a long time to get smart (if ever) and 2) there is a lot of smart money that is more than willing to take their chances to make money in the dumb money space - even sometimes while they end up playing their cards badly, from time to time, too.

Not bad movie finisht ..... first automatic thing = CM and Nice Tiny bit up, but much better than down

BTW have you guys ever seen this?
https://tucsky.github.io/SignificantTrades/#

It shows large buys and sells live from many exchanges..
It might give you an edge to see a dump coming before it reaches the exchange you are on, or a pump..

Love this . just noticed if you tap the transaction amount (eg: $1.2m) it displays the amount of bitcoin

Glad you like it guys..

I want to get back trading but just haven't found myself a spot.. It's been a while..

What do you guys recommend for exchanges a USA citizen can use?
I like zero fees and some margin, like huobi was..
I didn't like coinbase so much because of the fee structure, it makes the bots so aggressive.

A good exchange for someone that wants to daytrade the volatility, make many many small flips, lots of trades..

Their probably isn't anything good like that out there anymore is there?

Probably stuck with coinbase using market orders and high fees

You do not have to do market orders, and on coinbase there is no fee, as long as you set limited orders.

Furthermore, what does it matter very much about which exchange, whichever one you can get onto and then of course your spreads would be farther apart if there is a higher fee in order to at least cover the fee.

I agree that you might be inspired to move some of your trading based on lower fees, which I did when I moved some of my trading from Gemini to Binance - but each exchange has its plusses and minuses - and even questions about whether you are ready, willing and able to link a bank account to the exchange, which options would likely depend somewhat on your origin country, too.

Coinbase has NO spread because of the way the fee structure incentivises bots to be market makers. The bots are some of the best I've seen, best in the world bots..

I like to place market maker trades myself because I like to trade inbetween walls, and the bots there are just too much competition for my trading style. It doesn't feel good..

I like to be on the high volume exchanges where that exchange is making the world market, or atleast have a close eye on those charts too.. Always watching a few..
I usually take a LOT of tiny stoplosses too so low fees make it a lot easier to get back out of a trade I no longer like the look of.. Which is incredibly hard to do on coinbase trying to get in with those bots..

I made a binance account for the first time last week when I was chatting with some group trading there, where I found that tool you all like so much actually, but I decided that I really didn't like the new shitcoins of the day trading there much and the group turned out to be really just trying to sell TA to pretty much puppets that would trade their TA..

I have a hooked up coinbase but I don't figure I'll need my bank account UNLESS I DO AWESOME TRADING!!


And about exchanges with no margin.. Then I can only make more BTCs when the price is going down..
If I have margin I can also make more BTCs while the price is going up! And down..

I'm checking out the usdt/btc on binance right now..


I might have crypto trader PTSD or something < made that up..
I really want back in there but I just haven't been able to bring myself to do it.. Probably causing my exchange indecision..

[lightfoot]

Hm. Is it possible to use coinbase if you don't have a cell phone?

I have no problem with MFA but a cell phone is useless for that.

Also it's at 6500. So....

Dumping time is here.

I wonder if the recent Core bug will move the market. It might be the worst bug since 2010, though luckily it wasn't actually exploited and is unlikely to cause future trouble.

Link or it didn't happen...   hahahahahaa  


Edit:  

O.k.   now I see the link, at the top of every forum page (and here for the sake of convenience),  and yeah sounds like a pretty serious possible exploit that had not been known to be exploited and to make sure all transactions have 200 confirmations in the next week or so in case there is a chainsplit before a sufficient amount of hashpower is upgraded and until the situation is resolved - which they are also saying that most of the mining hashpower has already upgraded to the fix away from the bug... I am NOT technical enough to understand some of this but it sounds serious.. and funny to have something so major to just be found...  Whoaza!!!

I like the quote. Whose words?

[jbreher]

B52, good choice! Why isn't it lit?

Hmm... Conflicted. There are two possible ways to go with this:

1) that's a well lit B52; or

2) WTF, man. You stalking me?
