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

[Hueristic]

This whole thing where bitcoin price is following the stock market tells us one thing.

We need to shift the focus of Bitcoin from market and price to utility and actually using it as a currency. Every ETF, every BitPay obstacle they create for paying with bitcoin (while encouraging you to use shitcoins instead), every regulation that makes people prove their entire history of life before they can spend their bitcoins, every ATM shut down by stupid crypto agencies takes us away from that.

Bitcoin should be what people are running to right now. They should be dumping their useless government backed stocks, commodities, fiat, etc. and begging for Bitcoin to save them from the government tyranny that is about to wipe out their worth.

People should be going on OpenBazaar right now ordering 100 rolls of black market toilet paper and hand sanitizer with confidence that the seller has a 100% rating for his righteous bud. Using Bitcoin. Shops should be confident that their solar powered Bitcoin payment app will connect to the lightning funded mesh network with no interference. Preppers should know that if they need to bitcoin fund an uber ride to a private bitcoin funded jet can take them to their bitcoin funded VRBO some place far away from the hysteria.

You should be able to fund your p2p electric and water with lightning contracts and easily receive your bitcoin funded drone deliveries to your bitcoin funded seastead timeshare that's recorded on the blockchain.

This is where Bitcoin users need to focus instead of cheering on new ETFs and links to the ancient stock market.

Well said.

lmao, dr just diagnosed I had bronchitis following a virus, either flu or coronavirus :| and she said that the cdc was telling doctors that there's approximately 100-200k infected in the US already
if it was corona I would have had to have gotten exposed way before they said it reached my area

That is so disturbing. Apparently she will say How dare you! when you fuck her ass.

You must have missed my post

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=178336.msg53981753#msg53981753

 where I said once I saw the Diamond Princess stats on infections and deaths I ceased to worry bc this is just a bit more lethal than a nasty flu. During the Wuhan shitshow, nobody knew exactly what was going on and the possibility of it being really bad was a real thing. Now, its all just hype and panic over very little.

I did notice your posts bouncing all over the place.

I too had nocoiner friends who had zero worry at first when the truth was it could have been super deadly for the whole world. Then real stats and numbers came out proving its not that big of a deal, but of course nocoiners were in hysteria by then and still are.

So basically the nocoiners around you were foolish early on not to have some healthy concern for what might have been a super deadly new disease based on the little we knew, and they would be foolish now if they believe the hype that this is currently a super deadly disease sweeping the land.

So for not over reacting on spotty and unreliable information they were foolish?

Meh, I hang mostly with Men who do not shiver in fear of what we cannot control. Well let me rephrase that, I only listen to them, the rest pretty much sounds like background noise to me. I have a tendency to filter out fools very quickly. I actually was brought to the doctor because my mother thought I was going deaf and it turned out I was just ignoring her while she was yelling in my ear and I didn't even notice.

Your mom yells at you to the point where you tune her out and get dragged to the doctor, yet you hang out with men?

A likely story.

So when will an ETF on TP & SPAM be announced?

I'm posting this on collectibles.

Bids start at 1BTC....

What is TP?

Toilet paper, the analog currency of the moment.

The dog even has left when the shit has really hit the fan.

Some claims floating about vaping deaths (EVALI) have been misdiagnosed and in fact is COVID-19, symptoms identical
As of February 18, 2020, a total of 2,807 hospitalized EVALI cases or deaths have been reported to CDC from all 50 states.
Sixty-eight deaths have been confirmed in 29 states and the District of Columbia (as of February 18, 2020).
Vaping is responsible for 68 deaths?
https://www.cdc.gov/tobacco/basic_information/e-cigarettes/severe-lung-disease.html

Something seriously wrong with Italy.
3120 deaths to almost 1.5 billion times Italy's pop would be 131 deaths, it's now 463 also about 2 week advance notice and delayed
3120 / 1427647786 = 0.00000218541 * 60317546 = 131
the other way round would make almost 11000 dead in China
  (463 / 60317546) * 1427647786 = 10958

If taken and say Singapore which still has clean sheet is 0.00000218541 * 5638700 = 12
US would make
0.00000218541 * 320,000,000 = 699
0.00000218541 * 83042200 = 181 (would be for germany in about 2 weeks)

China new infections
2 Mar 2020   127
3 Mar 2020   116
4 Mar 2020   142
5 Mar 2020   143
6 Mar 2020   99
7 Mar 2020   44
8 Mar 2020   40
9 Mar 2020   44 ?

Whatever rocks your boat man, "And I don't even have to shave it" was the real turn on for me.

So, so hot.

Totally agree.  However, that's been the case for years and similar posts have been on this very thread since I started reading it in 2014. Unfortunately, the whole 'HODL until I'm rich' mentality has undermined the very purpose of BTC.

The purpose is to make me rich. It does that well.

Oh, and can we finally put to bed the whole idea of BTC as a safe haven - whilst global stock markets face their worst day since the 2008 financial crisis, BTC tanks even more.  If BTC really was a safe haven, it would be mooning now. Gold still seems to be the haven of choice.

Not how markets work.

Um, that's exactly how markets work

@Ibian, you have to understand that with r0achie gone, and FE locked, I'm kinda depressed lately.

You barely fill the huge gap of course, but you will have to do, COV19 bless.

When the hell is ETF on TP coming?

https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1236792359213502469
Elon should have a shit coin on this. He would clean up in the crypto world!

Meanwhile... somewhere in Western Canada.

Even more of a reason to get in on an ETF of this.
