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

[fillippone]

I'm confused, did oil futures close higher after falling negative.

Not sure about what you are looking at.
Currently may future on WTI is trading at 1.65 USD.
Today is last day of trading for this future.
Probably tradingview has already rolled to JUN future that is now trading at 21.37.
Nothing to be surprised about, as I wrote here and here yesterday.

CFTC Approves Bitnomial to Offer Futures Contracts Settled in Real Bitcoin

The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) approved Bitnomial Exchange to operate as a designated contracts market (DCM), meaning the exchange can now offer bitcoin futures and options contracts.

The approval, granted Monday, brings a new player to the still-small world of bitcoin futures in the U.S.

To date, only CME, Cboe, Bakkt, ErisX and LedgerX offer bitcoin futures and options contracts, though Cboe ended its contract in early 2019 and ErisX sees little volume on its futures. Unlike CME, Bitnomial appears to be focusing strictly on physically-settled contracts, meaning customers receive the actual bitcoin when the contract expires, rather than the fiat equivalent.

Major Asian Ticketing Agency Accepts Bitcoin on Lightning Network

Vietnamese online ticketing agency Future.Travel now accepts Bitcoin (BTC) payments via the Lightning Network (LN), with funds being converted into local currency at the time of sale.

To enable LN-based Bitcoin payments, Future.Travel collaborated with Canada-based tech firm Neutronpay, which will provide Future.Travel its multi-currency merchant platform, according to an April 20 announcement. With the newly integrated option, the BTC transaction processing time will ostensibly be cut down to three to four seconds in most cases.

Looks like Vietnamese now accept Bitcoin as payments tool 

The State Bank of Vietnam has declared that the issuance, supply and use of bitcoin and other similar virtual currency is illegal as a mean of payment and subject to punishment ranging from 150 million to 200 million VND

5D chess ... does anyone even know how many people really got the virus in China? Or was it mostly an export?

Forgot to quote Sun Tzu's greatest chapter, that makes all the previous quotes possible, chapter 13: The Use Of Spies

18. Be subtle! be subtle! and use your spies for every kind of business.

The irony!

Yeah, I suppose he is excited to see that his S2F chart matches other much older models, I posted some of this a few days ago.

I am sure that we all wish her to remain in good health during these turbulent times.



God’s Plan for Aging

Most seniors never get enough exercise. In His wisdom God decreed that seniors become forgetful so they would have to search for their glasses, keys and other things thus doing more walking.

And God looked down and saw that it was good.
Then God saw there was another need. In His wisdom He made seniors lose coordination so they would drop things requiring them to bend, reach & stretch.

And God looked down and saw that it was good.
Then God considered the function of bladders and decided seniors would have additional calls of nature requiring more trips to the bathroom, thus providing more exercise.

God looked down and saw that it was good.
So if you find as you age, you are getting up and down more, remember it’s God’s will. It is all in your best interest even though you mutter under your breath.

Nine Important Facts To Remember As We Grow Older:

Death is the number one killer in the world.
Life is sexually transmitted.
Good health is merely the slowest possible rate at which one can die.
Men have two motivations: hunger and hanky panky, and they can't tell them apart. If you see a gleam in his eyes, make him a sandwich.
Give a person a fish and you feed them for a day. Teach a person to use the Internet and they won't bother you for weeks, months, maybe years unless you give them your email address.
Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday, lying in the hospital, dying of nothing.
All of us could take a lesson from the weather. It pays no attention to criticism.
In the 60's, people took LSD to make the world weird. Now the world is weird, and people take Prozac to make it normal.
Life is like a jar of jalapeno peppers. What you do today may be a burning issue tomorrow.

At least the sun is shining today.  Keep safe everyone.

Hon Sec.

Thank you Dennis W*** for the bones of this transmission.

I am no fan of the chinese autocratic system, but the recent rise in tribal hate-mode towards China worries me.  A frustrated population always want somebody to blame, and it is not hard to see how a populist leader could latch on to these sentiments and let things escalate into a new world war.  
Like Ray Dalio has said, in history when an upcoming economic powerhouse challenges the current Nr 1, more often than not the end result was war.  
With a similar economic prowess but a larger population, I fear things would look bleak for the west in such a war scenario.  And even if the US would win, the amount of damage sustained would be huge.  I do hope we are able to navigate these changes in a peaceful way.

One half: Russia, Russia, Russia!
Other half: China, China, China!
It's almost like some powerful forces want to divert public's attention away from domestic targets...

As all previous halvings proved we're getting a pump either before or after halving... and this time it seems we're not getting any pump before the halving so...

bitcoin.org has updated the page to choose the wallet much more intuitive, it is better than before.

War has solved more problems than anything else in history. The only question here is if it is a war that should be fought. Not if war as a concept is good or bad. It is unquestionably good.

Not the giant clusterfuck called the Iraq war.  Nothing good about a clusterfuck.  A clusterfuck is just a clusterfuck.  If you like clusterfucks, then yes war is good.

The Iraq war was over in one day. Literally one day. The rest of the time was spent... farting around basically, as nations do it. We should have been in and out in a week.

This is not a problem with war, but with the clueless chucklefucks who are in charge of deciding where the military goes and what rules they have to follow. For example, they can't shoot enemy spotters if they are children. So the enemy uses children as spotters. Like a boxing match with both your hands tied behind your back, after you already won but the guy is allowed to beat up on you anyway.

Let Orrel re-open his chicken feed business.

If only stupid people keep going out, without masks and in groups, then only the stupid can infect the stupid, and the problem will simply take care of itself.

I understand the excess burden it places on hospitals... But if the choice is between that and having protestors shooting up the hospitals, well they should just let people go out.

We are all carrying around thousands of viruses all the time. We just happen to be immune to most of them. They are as much a part of the natural ecosystem as the cow in your burger.

There is no reason to think corona will just go away once most people have been through it. So let's say you stay inside in your bunker with two years worth of food and toilet paper. The government announces the pandemic over, you emerge from your lair... and then you will probably get sick anyway.

People are going to die no matter what. That's just a part of life. As long as we don't overburden the medical system, which now has effective treatment, then it is better to get through it faster rather than slower. Because viruses mutate, and the longer it takes the higher chance of another strain that will make us all sick all over again.

  Its possible we cannot perceive aliens as they are beyond the spectrum detectable to us or some other reason we arent aware

Pay attention here folks...first principles at work.

Living in a perceived universe where scientific observations postulate that we are unable to account for 95% of energy or matter, I think it highly probable we just dont have the hardware to see whats really going on...yet.

but we can observe its effects on other, ordinary matter.

if a creature only reflects on a particular (invisible to us) frequency, it must block all others, no? we would see its shadow and such.
