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

[VB1001]

Volatility dropping hard. Calm before the storm.  Expect an explosive move within the next 48 hours.

Longs are the same as yesterday, shorts do not increase...
First go to 3500 to go back up, it seems to me.

I think Hairy means a little more of a move than that.   It's likely to mean Monday sees a plunge to attack the 200MA line again, and then it either breaks or (I would hope) bounces back violently.

I do want to see something decisive. I hope it will prove my own thoughts, but this is Bitcoin....

Well it enables rule breaking.

So the real question is what rules are you going to break on your seastead?  

About rule breaking: interview with Bittorrent guy (4-series) “Why BitTorrent Mattered — Bittorrent Lessons for Crypto (1 of 4)” by Simon Morris https://link.medium.com/ZnJUFMOerT

Pretty sure that was what Hairy was vamping on.  That article has got me thinking as well.

If you aren't going to break any rules...what is the fucking point.

Or put another way, it is not a matter of being in trouble or not, the state encroaches on everything, but choosing the best kind of trouble to be in.

That article got me thinking, too - a great new way of looking at game-changing innovation. It shifted my perspective from thinking of a use case, to looking at a use case that breaks existing rules. It made a lot of sense and the precedents to prove it are pretty obvious and convincing.

Yeah that’s the article I was referencing.  Great article.  Has actually shaped my thinking a bit.  Put permissioned blockchain to the sword in a way that I was struggling to articulate.

[VB1001]

It could be something like that, maybe close the leg in 3200.

Once again picture that really does say it all. 

I can't help wondering if you do anything else but trawl the interweb all bloody day to mine this stream of news and meme treasure? I am more than a little awed...

There should be a sort of OBE for services to the WO.

Great article @Wekkel, thank you for sodomizing my Sunday.

Best bits, I have to quote them for the lazy ones

This is why the promise of blockchain is so disruptive — the blockchain as embodied by Bitcoin and further enumerated by Ethereum is the quintessential technology of disruption. Once launched it cannot be stopped, come what may.

But in practice the only way to make any large-scale governance viable is to re-centralize power in a smaller number of deciders with some number of rules around how you can become and remain a decider.

As I look at the rule-breakers, I’m especially interested in what the reaction might be — what paradigm might change (like the abstracting away of files in the media industry) leading to a whole new way of doing things — for it is here that the biggest winners may emerge. (i.e Spotify and Netflix for Bittorrent)

This is why I love BTC so much. It is a rebel.

Also very eager for the next step in blockchain evolution.

it is a pity that it is impossible so ...

This Scaling Tech Could Let You Sync Bitcoin Straight From Your Phone

With utrexxo, though, rather than having to download the entirety of the bitcoin state, bitcoin holders could simply verify if it is correct using a cryptographic proof. This approach could minimize storage requirements to the extent that it might even be possible to run bitcoin on a mobile phone.

Fucking hell Sunday’s are boring, not even much activity in here to keep me entertained. At my in laws, bored out of my head waiting for beef Sunday dinner (the only good thing about today). Fucking NO COINER company sucks!

Green candles would be nice to see, looking like sideways for a couple of days thoygh.

[gembitz]

All the news of advances for Bitcoin are nice.

But in LN some actors are entering the game ...,of dubious origin, banks, institutions, startups, supported by the same.

This as news is fine, you do not have the coins immobilized in LN waiting.

Crypto payment platform Bitrefill has launched Thor, a service that allows customers to open Lightning channels on demand. Thor will connect to Bitrefill's node on the Lightning Network, allowing users to receive Lightning payments whether they have bitcoin loaded into their Lightning wallets or not.

https://bitcoinmagazine.com/articles/bitrefill-channel-opening-service-makes-accepting-lightning-payments-easy/

I wouldn't worry about banks becoming major LN hubs anytime soon.

r0ach always posts his chart with Goldman Sachs, Chase, etc. as major LN hubs. What he doesn't tell you is that Theymos alone has more BTC than Goldman Sachs.

I can foresee an alternative scenario where the liquidity of LN is provided by all the cypherpunks, computer nerds, and libertarians who mined or bought most of the coins.

I see LN being service providers, like *ahem* PayPal, Visa, Mastercard, AmEx, et al. Used for making 'small' value transactions easier and cheaper. I use (some) of these services daily, if they run their own Node, I wouldn't have a too big a problem to use them to buy some milk and bread in the morning. Of course only this time, the majority of my BTC will remain in my possession, not the banks.

LN inkoming to McDonalds..!    lol

Yeah I’m going to watch the football today.

This is my favourite bullish picture/chart that I’ve seen in recent times.

Too funny. Trumps wants to appoint Ivanka as head of the World Bank

https://www.theguardian.com/business/2019/jan/12/ivanka-trump-world-bank-donald-trump-report

She can be appointed head of my wank bank

Maybe if you could put a gag in her mouth so you wouldn't have to hear her.

And a bag on the head so you wouldn't have to see her face. Then maybe.

The fuck are you on about she's a dime for sure. Letting hate skew you on sexy lady's, that's roach level dumb.

Funny nose a bit like Odo from star treck

[Lambie Slayer]

Felt like dropping by to say ..........

Figured that we would not so easily get rid of a fucktwat like you.

Fits with the typical troll/shill pattern.... promises going away or "this is my last post" but never leaves.



Lambie slayer needs a troll slayer....




hahahahahaha

Are you retarded, I said operation Roach Slayer was done, and it is. I was planning on not coming back till the next bear bottom, but since we are still somewhat in the bear bottom area, I reserve the right to come back whenever. In fact I reserve the right to post here 20 times just to spread hopium and bullishness.

I might even start operation Wordy TwatBot Slayer, just to make your life a little better and teach you how to be less boring and redundant.

I see you got butthurt when I joked around about your use of seems and seemingly and incremental strategies.

Maybe instead of being butthurt and lashing out at a fellow bull, you could just stop using the words seem and seemingly in every other sentence and repeating the boring incremental strategy nonsense that hurts everyones eyes.

I'll speak in a language your bot programming can understand better

It seems you wouldnt be regarded as such a boring twat of a poster seemingly, if you incrementally backed off of seemingly to post boring nonsense that seemingly amounts to just repeating what seems to be the same seemingly twatty stuff about incrementally buying 2 satoshis each day and selling 2 satoshis each day, or so it seemingly seems. Also you seemingly like to start shit with other Bitcoiners here for little reason, and seemingly you are upset bc I called you out for seemingly to seem like you need to be the center of attention, hence your boring wordiness. Sometimes  lots of posting is seemingly a really good thing when you can be entertaining and bullish like for example a human poster such as Goose or Lambie Slayer.

but when your combination of flaws is being the most redundant, and most boring poster in WO history, it just makes you a fucktwatbot called JayJuanGee

Anyways, thanks for the post, it was actually not boring so your bot software has really improved since you took a few days off for updates. Looking forward to when you update the bugs that make you such a negative prick Keep working on it and if you need more tips, lmk.

if we where in SCI-FI

and there is an offer to watch 1 day in the future (whenever day you wish, just to see where BTC stands)

how much would you offer to pay for that and how far would you wanna look ?

Are you hinting you have a "time machine" and are selling access to the highest bidder?

If so i am in... 1BTC for 30 Years from now. Would like to know if BTC will part of my retirement...
