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

This is definitely not looking good, and as I hear the European Football Championship this summer is in big question, there is a possibility of postponement for the next year.

No worries. In the UK they are asking 24 people to contract the covid-19 virus voluntarily while being paid for the two weeks during the trial period in trying to find a cure to it.

What if they paid this $4500usd out in BTC would you consider it?

why dont they just find the people who already have it? Would be much cheaper 

In a enclosed setting where they have control of it at all times since they dont have a cure if it does get out and infects those in the building including the doctors.
If they just asked those who already have it then it would be like the corona hotel where everyone who enters gets it.

Also to goldkingcoiner, yeah your right. Not worth the risk for the middleclass monthly salary.
But there are those who are willing to sell their kidneys for about the same amount (blackmarket prices typically are $5000 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organ_trade). But you can live with the spare you got just have to give up drinking AlCoHOL.

If they round it up to $450,000 it still won't cover fixing the permanent damage to internal organs and immune system. I'm not talking about whatever drug they want to test, just the drugs your own body generates when it switches to survival-mode.

@rdbase
My Dad had a kidney removed a few years ago & I think my Nan (his Mother) had issues with hers too.

I definitely can’t sell one of mine, I’m going to need them for later in life

I told my 23 year old brother if Dad needs a kidney transplant it’s much better if it’s a 23 year old one rather than one from my older alcohol & drug abused body

Coronavirus is bullish for the King.

Obviously not..

You guys still think china virus is bullish?

What happened? Why are we following the DOW instead of the inverse?

Is Bitcoin just a luxury?

No, x3.

1.  This is spawning a liquidity crisis. BTC is getting liquidated along with other assets.

2.  The world is entering a deflationary phase. All asset prices can fall, including BTC.

3.  The medium/long term (2-3 years) trend is down, so that is the natural bias.

4.  On a Positive note, it is a good indication that 6500 has not yet been tested.

5. 1BTC = 1BTC.

The odds are pretty damned great that bitcoin is not exactly on the same schedule as various other asset classes, and there remains decently great odds too, that bitcoin is in early adoption.. s-curve exponential adoption that is also reflected in stock to flow and 4 year fractal models... so going to be quite a challenge to see those models broken by virus, et al. .. except for perhaps short term moves. 

good luck (you are going to need it) to anyone considering that the whole world is correlated, including H.badger (aka lil fiend).

I wish I'd been informed about Bitcoin before January 2013. I'd be rich now instead of merely comfortable.

It is difficult to know for sure.

When I looked into bitcoin in November 2013, I had heard about bitcoin earlier, and I even had it book marked as "something to look into", but I am not sure how much I would have been willing to put into it when it was more difficult to do.  There was certainly some kind of legitimacy that came to bitcoin with the market increase in late 2013.. and subsequent market increases (such as 2015-2017) gave further validation to bitcoin.

when i heard about it in 2011 i already had machines doing F@H and such so was familiar with those types of builds. so my game machine was my 1st miner and i could immediately start generating coins.

so my perspective is different from those who bought strictly as an investment. i was playing with a new toy, and coins were the plaything. purpose was to test and beat the snots out of it. try all the different wallets (well the 3 or so then) etc. so while i had a lot of coins (compared to some, but dwarfed by others here), im not rich. those coins were used. not hoarded.

had i kept them.. hey that would have been cool. filthy rich instead of merely very comfortable. but all of it changed my life for the better.

What is F@H?

Extreme leftists don't like private property, they want the goverment to run everything. They dont want people using money free of censorship that cant be debased. Of course they hate Bitcoin. Bernie would put an army of these people in power.

Except there's no way to know for sure how Bernie feels about bitcoin. He could be all for it, but since he's never actually said anything about it we don't know for sure, one way or the other.

You should know that bitcoin can't be censored, regardless of who enacts what. We're not exactly in the midst of a financial renaissance here where the banks and bitcoin are holding hands. The powers that be are still immensely anti-bitcoin, and Bernie is against the powers that be.

Though I think the presidency is largely a figurehead position anyway, he was the only guy capable of really shaking things up. Since a lot of his voter base is on the youthful side, I don't see him mandating any decree that bitcoin be banned. That's just too draconian a move for any U.S. president to make.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Executive_Order_6102

"Executive Order 6102 is a United States presidential executive order signed on April 5, 1933, by President Franklin D. Roosevelt "forbidding the hoarding of gold coin, gold bullion, and gold certificates within the continental United States"."

Bernie could do this with Bitcoin. Do I think he would, idk, but Im sure Trump or Biden wouldn't. True it wouldnt censor Bitcoin, but an executive order banning Bitcoin ownership would put me out of the hodl game.

Its the extreme leftists Bernie would appoint to power that I would worry about most. A Bernie Fed ran by a communist bartender chick could easily ban Bitcoin.

Luckily Bernie isnt a threat to win anymore.

Just another new example of a central bank printing more money. Market crashes are bullish for the King, even if the initial reaction was a fake out to the down side.

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.

hahahahaha

Lambie bambie, the wannabe WO thread sorcerer, makes sure that s/he/it covers  "all bases."  That way, in the future, s/he/it can proclaim that s/he/it had been prescient.

  Im still upset I had to leave for a few weeks after Slayer called me out and defeated my text walls.

He really gets to me so I always stalk his posts praying I can find something clever to say.

I havent been with a woman in many years so I struggle with what pronouns to use for other people, but obviously Slayer is more of a man than I ever was.

Thanks for the compliment GayJG.  You aren't wrong;)

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.

BTC is a safe haven. It is just people are too dumb to understand that.

They will only understand it when they can't use banks anymore.

Let's have this talk again when banks collapse and don't allow people to access their accounts. Remember Greece? Cyprus?

Yes it absolutely is a safe haven. Just like gold, its up since Coronavirus became global news, while stocks are down.

I think what they are testing is a vaccine. In this case, the subject's immune system must be exposed to the vaccine before being infected with the live virus.

Trump dropped a big cryptic hint about an unstoppable surprise coming. This was tweeted right after the dow futures opened and tanked.

Most likely he is on the phone with the Plunge Protection Team and the Fed and there is some massive money printing on the way.

Anyone who thinks Trump isnt going to attack these market sell offs with everything at his disposal is underestimating his ego and desire to be elected again.

62 days to the Halvening and all fundamentals are well and bullish.  

Trump may still have the trader mentality and he sees this huge dip as a buying opportunity.

He also believes there needs to be money pumped into the economy to get things on track...

So...print money and buy cheap stock...he likely believes the virus is all hype so he believes the markets will bounce back (especially after pouring a bunch of printed money into the economy).

Result...billions in gains for the US government. Game over for Democrats.

In his mind at least.

Reality...he is trying to fight a bubble that popped.

Probably so and Bitcoin benefits either way with all the money he will print trying to achieve his goals.

Sure, but what's he got? I mean he can send the army in to demand that people consume and travel and PRODUCE at the barrel of a gun. He can have traders who sell stocks executed, he can declare it to be treason to say anything but good things about the economy.

Maybe pass the "Stand still" law where no one is allowed to quit their jobs, everyone must consume and produce at 2019 levels, and companies can fire people who then become surplus goods to be "managed". That could work. Sort of.....

(Why yes, I'm re-reading Atlas Shrugged. Man this book is the perfect combination of shit porn, endless speeches, drivel, and interesting concepts.)

I haven't thought too much as to whether he will succeed. I just like all the money printing he is promoting while he tries.
