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

[JayJuanGee]

the localbitcoin spike for the USD market was a flaw

this is how it looks today:

I will say that I had a bit of a spike in number of people contacting me from localbitcoins in the past few days.. but who knows?  Too short of a period and could be anecdotal aberrations, especially since I am in southern california.  

Yesterday, I did a transaction in the $500 to $1k range, and the guy attempted to slip me a phony $100.  We were in a public place, and I think that he was relying on the fact that sometimes it can be difficult (or uncomfortable) to attempt to examine the bills very closely in public places.  I do examine the old $100s (and the $50s), and in that case, I saw that the embedded small line of vertical numbers on one of his $100s were not there.  Kind of like a blur on the bill.  

I told him that "I cannot accept this one", and initially, he just said o.k. no problem, no problem.. as if he already expected such.  Then as he was exchanging the bad $100 out for a newer printed bill, he asked me what was wrong with the bill.  I told him that the number on the side was not there.  He attempted to proclaim that the bill was good and the number was merely blurred.  I told him that "it does not work like that," and he looked at the bill one more time by holding it up and just put the bill away without saying anything further to attempt to defend that bad bill.

I think that he was a bit embarrassed (probably by getting caught rather than by attempting to pass a bad $100 to me).. and usually buyers will linger around a bit after the transaction has been sent, but he quickly left the scene within seconds of my hitting "send" and seeing a "pending" was showing on my end.

Thats a nice hat you got there friendo

Congratz on the hat and rank

Can we have a moment of silence (no posts for 60 seconds please kind sirs) in honor of Gembitz and Roach, two fallen bears who gave all they had to a lost cause, only to be liquidated in shame  as their tiny amounts of money were redistributed to wise and noble bulls. 

THIS IS BITCOIN COUNTRY!

They should feel honored that Karhu accepted their blood as a worthy sacrifice.

Who? Give me a pamphlet and a cup of kool aid and Im in.

It was a BTCtalk meme during the last crypto winter. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=405180.0

Update, dude. BTC is not waiting!

My prediction for 2019:

#Bitcoin will fall and hit $50,000 by the end of the year.

Why?

- LN growth
- Bakkt launch
- ETF speculation
- Increased global stress
- Interest rates continue to rise
- Record buildup in government debt
- Traditional markets continue to struggle

Stamp touched $4,000.

Briefly...

almost better than touching myself.

Someone just paid 2100 ETH for transaction fees.

That is over $300,000 spent to transfer $15.

Did they mistaken the fee with sending value?

Have we already seen this?

Google’s iOS keyboard just added a new symbol shining a light on Bitcoin and cryptocurrency. To find the new feature, make sure you have the Gboard app installed instead of the default Apple keyboard.

An article about that thought :

https://usethebitcoin.com/how-nasdaq-may-have-creatd-the-first-2019-bull-run/

"Nasdaq could be helping the cryptocurrency market more than expected. On Monday, the U.S. stock market exchange announced two cryptocurrency indexes.
...
This could be very positive in many different ways for the crypto market. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has rejected the applications of nine Bitcoin exchange-traded funds. The reason behind this decision was related to market manipulation. According to the regulator, exchanges acting as bitcoin’s reference price point remained loosely regulated.

In November 2018, Bloomberg reported that Nasdaq was planning to launch Bitcoin futures contract in 2019. According to these reports, the exchange was working with the Commodity and Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) to solve some of the regulatory issues mentioned by these agencies.

At the moment, it is not clear whether the BLX would play a crucial role in Nasdaq futures offerings. However, it provides transparency to a market that has been attacked for the lack of transparency."

guys, you all know how it looks like when price on a chart is topping.

how about this one:




 

[BitcoinGirl.Club]

LOL notice the news anchor.

She is relating bitcoin price up with JP Morgan recent shitcoin launching. LOL

Who the fuck gave her the JOB? And who are these fat pigs?

Going to break 4k, are we?

Didn't we already do that a month or so ago?
I fail to see the wow factor in that, just normal volatility.

It's because we're showing more evidence of it reversing.

Nah, it's too early for that, we have several more months sideways to look forward to.
I'll be glad if I'm wrong, but I'm probably not.

I would say you are both right and wrong

We have bottomed and yes we have several more months of sideways.

pish tosh

I would say you are both right and wrong.

You are right about the sideways.

But there's plenty of room yet for a stab down to the dark side.

I'd even prefer it that way.

I'll bet you a litecoin?

I will take it if Hairy won't.

I will wager 1 LTC we have already seen the bottom of this bear market.  That is, it will not go lower than 3122.

Suggest period of wager is until Dec 31 2019, or we go over 7500 on Stamp in USD (or under 3122) - whichever is sooner?

Edited for clarity.

I will take the bet of 1 LTC that the bottom was $3122 on above terms or whatever else makes sense!

Great!!!  Love to see a nice friendly bet, and perhaps even nicer to be betting 1 LTC...

Who gives a shit about LTC whether you win one or you lose one... so no BIG deal, either way, but enough of a stake in the bet to keep interest to see what comes first.  December 31, 2019, below $3,122 or above $7,500.  Three possible events to resolve who will be the winner.

I can hear the sobbing and praying to vitalik buterin from here.  Who said mining wasn't profitable :S

can anyone dig out a prediction that beats this one in accuracy and efficiency? found this gem in a 2013 price poll.

17.7.2017, 17:17:17 Uhr: 17.423,13 € bzw 26.861,24 USD (1 Euro = 1,5417 USD)

the guy made only one post ever, predicted a 2017 price of €17.423 while in reality price went to €16.457 in 2017.

missed it by 5%  

Isn't it the stop clock is correct twice a day phenomenon?  If you look at any BTC price prediction thread, you are going to find price predictions all over the map, and of course, there are going to be a few that are really close to what actually ends up happening.. but I doubt the fact that the close to correct predictions getting their predictions correct reasonably infers that the person(s) predicting knew anything concrete about the BTC price future at that particular time.

if those correct predictions are so abundant please quote them in case you come across some. and yes, it is more luck than anything. but still....
