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

[DeathAngel]

Looks like the bleeding has stopped from yesterday, for now at least. $10,000 seems far away now, I was taking that for granted.

10 000 better not be to long away, I was getting used to the 5 digit numbers again.

A morning of 5 digit is do much better as a morning of 4 digit

But then again the number of BTC stays the same and only changes if I buy or sell.... or win or lose....

Yeah as I always see you post
1BTC = 1BTC. I guess we all need to chill out, it will be worth it one day in the near future.

Freshly saved 500 euro on its way to the exchange. To be honest, I am kind of surprised that bears tried to break the 7700 support. I don't get it why we should feel desperate with 2% drop below this support. If it is not comfirmed in the coming weeks, then all this was noise. Most TA won't even consider it as broken if it is cancelled soon. Now the support down to 7K has increased to 2700BTC in Bitstamp. This is enough to despair even the best bear manipulator in the world. It is like a street with a dead end, dear bears! You may try to break it, but the result will be broken heads   The volume is low, meaning that besides the usual trades nobody is in a hurry to sell. And this is a sign of the failure of the bears, who thought with the sell of 700BTC on one exchange can bring havoc and despair. You have no good or bad news, dear bears, so your fail will be epic. 8K coming in 2 weeks. 10K and above in the coming months.   Cheers to the hodlers!

What about harvesting human organs from those people.. Of course the world doesn't dare complaining to the CCP because of economic reasons.

if you are scared from BAKKT impact on market, then brace for more:

Bakkt to Launch Options on Its Bitcoin Futures Dec. 9

Bakkt announced Thursday that it would “launch the first regulated options contract for bitcoin futures,” adding a new product to its current slate of physically-settled bitcoin futures contracts. CEO Kelly Loeffler said in a Medium post that the contracts were built in response to customer feedback, and that ICE Futures US self-certified the contract through the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC).

I am afraid time has come to write the option equivalen to my Everything you wanted to know about BTC futures but were afraid to ask! post.
Gigantic work, but has to be done.

[LFC_Bitcoin]

I was just reading about that on Twitter fillippone.

What do you think it will mean/do for the price in the short to medium term or anybody else who wants to add an opinion?

OR, they are holding and reeducating muslim terrorists and potential terrorists to safeguard the people.
Unlike the western democracies who cuddle them and let them in to their countries so they can commit terrorist acts against us.

...customers will have the choice of options contracts settled with cash, meaning customers receive the fiat equivalent to the contract’s value at expiration, or physically, meaning they receive the actual bitcoin...

Not another tool to gamble and short BTC...

So you don't believe someone has the right to live the life they were born into in the country they were born into? It's not as if they're sudden frothing converts and out of the average 1 million people of any type only a tiny and pathetic handful will be terrorists.

I am skeptic on conspiracy theories about impact of futures on price.
I even doubt the price dump we observed in the occasion of launch of futures (both CME/CBOT and, in a smaller extent, BAKKT) were actually connected.

I do think the more instrument we have, the better.
More instrument allows better liquidity and better price discovery.
Bakkt futures were important because, as I wrote a few post back, allowed “slower” institutions to get long bitcoin with less organisational stress.

I sincerely don’t know how options will impact on the situation. I think also Bakkt is simply reacting to a similar announcement by CME, as their are still struggling with future volumes, so I think they are rushing a little with this new launch.

So in a word: impact on price is very limited. I won’t read too much into that.

Religion is a choice, if your religion is a potential hazard to the public then I'm ok with that religion being controlled or even banned.
You can't tell in advance who of that 1 million tiny and pathetic handful will be terrorists.

I feel that about all hazardous religions by the way, not just muslims.

I'm also well aware that China is a communist dictatorship and I'm not in favor of that.
But sometimes the reporting is a little to one sided for my taste.
Organ harvesting I do believe is a real thing in Chinese prisons and camps, I have heard a lot about that lately actually, and that I'm of course opposed, but I'm not for freedom of religion.

That is just one of those pc things that was imported from the USA, we didn't have freedom of religion until the 50s in Sweden and it wasn't until the 70s that catolics where allowed to open convents and that worked just fine, And I know it was not that different in the UK.

Freedom from religion I'm all for however.

EDIT: pk to pc.

Here's a snippet of one of the wonderful and valuable exchanges from yesterday's congressional Libra hearings:

Organ harvesting of non-coiners is cool with me, as long as the harvesters accept bitcoin.

When we’re rich we can all gather & pay NOCOINERS to fight to the death at some kind of secret venue.

Last man standing gets 0.01BTC, a fantastic steak, wine & gets to party with the illustrious COINERS.

[LUCKMCFLY]

New highs are seen in the Bitcoin Hash.

Bitcoin hash rate continues to make new highs despite the weaker market

Consuming ~3x+ more electricity than when BTC peaked in Q4 2017 - ~80 TWh annually

Marginal production cost of 1 BTC excluding hardware ~$5,260 currently  & will double next yr post halving...

Quantum thingy....

"Our machine performed the target computation in 200 seconds, and from measurements in our experiment we determined that it would take the world's fastest supercomputer 10,000 years to produce a similar output," Google researchers said

All lies. It's just modern propaganda to scare the masses. There is no such thing as QC.

Why Bitcoin holders are too much nervous ..

You tell them anything and they start dumping
