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

[VB1001]

Most of you are legends, I don't know if I fit very well here, I feel a little weird among so many veterans, being such a rookie disappoints a little.   
Will I ever get over this feeling?

VB1001 was a rookie not so very long ago...Look what he accomplished now as being one of the very more respected WO-members

Everyone of us found their way into the forum and possibly in the WO thread.
Be yourself, and you’ll eventually find your unique way to be part of the game.

Long time ago I wrote something about that:

2019 Bitcoin Retrospective

In conclusion
The Bitcoin Network and its community of users and investors have become significantly more diverse and entrenched, especially over the past two years. The network continues to boast a dominant position in the market (above 60% dominance in terms of market cap for the back half of 2019, likely higher when considering lost and unclaimed coins and the fact that a long tail of digital assets whose minimal trading volume and untenably high market cap calculation distorts bitcoin’s relative dominance) and growing usage and adoption. Meanwhile, it has unapologetically maintained its core properties as an anti-fragile, border-less, censorship and seizure resistant, decentralized value storage and transfer system. Over the next year and beyond, we believe these exact properties will continue to drive adoption, supported by additional research, education and maturation of the network and its surrounding infrastructure for users and investors.

All the comments that I have had are going in the same direction, I am in the training phase but I will never be ready to step on the accelerator thoroughly like some of you, I have not seen many users do this parabolic path, you are in another league.

Just watched The Laundromat on Netflix :
https://www.imdb.com/rg/em_share/title_web/title/tt5865326/?ref
Its about the panama papers leak.

Really interesting and filmed in clever way.

Thanks, i just watched it as well...quite interesting, but to blame it on US (mostly) is a bit strange.
That said, our world is weird in so many ways.

In a nutshell, its better to be a rich and envied than be poor and laughed at....

Is the desire for newcomers to share their bitcoin ownership a unique phenomenon? You never see folks on other asset specific forums posting things like:
"I finally own X ounces of gold!"
"I finally own Y shares of $AAPL!"
"I finally own Z dollars!"

oh, @lopp. lopp lopp lopp lopp lopp
we love you man, you do great work
but this is wrong, or at least not quite right
even newbs know not to say how many big ones they own
even shiny newcomers know not to wear garb that says i heart bitcoin
even noobies know just to say well i try to stack sats
even juniors say oh yeah i had some but then i lost it in a boating accident

[nutildah]

I like to say that I died under strange circumstances in India.

That usually gets them off my back.

It would make sense. Especially now two years have passed since merit was introduced, it would highlight legendary users who have not only stuck around but also added considerable value to the forum in the meantime - which can't be said for most legendary ranked members it seems  

Notably from BPIP, with a 2000+ merit requirement alone, it would be less than 66 members, based on users that have received 1000+ merit that is. I think activity would have to be 2000, in order to remain not too exclusive, or even just the same as legendary around 1000.

I know you weren't proposing it officially, but I was curious to how many users a new rank would include... not many basically.

Its chaotic here, Which i love but argumentative nature of average Indian doesn't help the overall cause so can sympathise with you.

Edit : okay, I am way off and didn't get the joke

[P_Shep]

I lost all my bitcoin due to complications with crones disease while in India.

Did i get that right?

Sorry to hear that, I lost all mine when I was in hospital in Uganda. I was struck down with a rare strain of malaria.  Whilst I was in intensive care somebody stole my Trezor & I don’t have a copy of the seed, it was in my backpack which wasn’t recovered when I fell ill.

I absolutely love India, it's a top notch country, but I'd never thought about the argumentativeness aspect, thanks. Makes a lot of sense.
Yes some exchange owner 'died' there.

Good idea,but I think seniority should count as well, at least five or seven or something like that, years since registration.

i have several bitcoin tshirts i used to wear in public. got some thumbs up and "nice tshirt" comments from people ranging from a door greeter at costco to my one of my MDs. but that was years ago, and i rarely wear them in public now.

sucks really. we are supposed to be supporting btc any way we can, not be afraid of mentioning it.

Yes it's annoying and sad really. One can do bitcoin shirt shopping here where the vibe is subtle, but still

Easy peasy: Give the shirts to a social welfare organisation. Some of them will likely be worn in highly frequented, public places.
