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

[V8s Road Warrior]

hmm bit rude 25 quid to get copper membership. I don't think so.

Regarding 'Buffett bucks' and owning the printing press:

Berkshire Hathaway 2020 Annual Shareholder Meeting (2.5 minutes)
https://www.youtube.com/embed/69rm13iUUgE?start=17305&end=17465

Good good only 5hours and 47min

I got full days to listen to buffet  

I know the Dude is very busy, that is why I included a start and end time in the hyperlink. It is <3 minutes and worth watching IMO.

declining...8699 8719.

Why always on Sunday night? Darned stock futures and Asia trading, perhaps.

The halvening pump is over (or near enough). Time to find a new base for the 2021 bull.  

Hairy our dear friend.
Mean’t to spread some hopium.
Not to cut my breath.

A nice base would be ?
Seven full hours days till halving.
Could live with 8 k.....

FTFY

Hairy - turning back into a bearie.

[edited out]

I'm still in favor of his $12k prediction.
That said, any prediction is out of the window atm.
After all, we have the rest of the year to find a solid base for the 2021 bull.

Yeah sorry everything is cancelled

Seriously, 9.4k was a gift

You see what I am talking about.    

[vapourminer]

The new rage was these arrays of dispensers for rice/oats/beans where you bring your own bag and pour out what you want.
I guess that's out of the window now. Maybe idk
anyway so many industries going up or down in the next few months

tree huggers must be going ballistic here. after fighting seemingly forever to ban single use plastic bags in favor of those reusable recycled ones (you know the reusable ones people put on their filth infested floors/counters and such at home, then bring back to plunk on a supermarket checkout) they have now banned those disgusting germ ridden bags and brought clean, sanitary single use plastc bags back. by law.

they should of thought about how filthy most people are before all that reuseable bag shit was law but treehuggers and such arent really known for thinking things through.

[Cryptotourist]

Well, the halving is not cancelled.
Didn't we already get our shit our pants experience?

COV19 does not infect bulls (or bears), as far as I know.

You should copy and paste this comment in a few months time and it will make more sense. 9.4k will be retrospectively seen as a gift for buyers by then.

I somewhat agree with HairyMaclairy, I have the feeling that the halving is priced in and we might revisit 7xxx soon and 5-figures are at least some months away still.

Would love to be proven wrong, but honestly I don't care as long as we're not going sub 5k.

The rumors have been bought in the last weeks, now it's time for selling the news.

Admittedly that's all SOMA TA, but based on past experience in halvings in LTC and BTC.

I'll just hodl it through, sideways between 7k and 9k is fine for me.

Nothing to do with plastic bags per se, but with throwing your trash into the ocean. The latter is definitely stupid but still practised widely in ocean-side cities.

Banning plastic bags is just the stupid kind of doing something that doesn't hurt our lifestyle but shows everybody how greatly we care for environment.

of course proper disposal is a must too. stupid is stupid i must admit.
 
we use ours to bag cat poo (among other things) and dispose of properly in the trash.

Directly from my new quarantine secret location (yeah, I broke the law to evade from my main lockdown cave to evade to a new one),
it's time to update my

Wall Observer Meta Post!

Sorry if I contaminate the WO with a boring meta post, but I need to keep to the old habits to feel "normal"

This is a Monthly post, so it will consider the merits sent during the month of March.
Consequently I had to wait for the last merit dump, that included the last day of the month.

Merit analysis based on @LoyceV merit file: http://loyce.club/Merit/merit.all.txt
Merit updated to April, 30th, 2019 23:59:59 UTC

Total merits sent on WO:     45615
Monthly Merits sent on WO: 2440 (-857 vs previous month)
Merited Users: 703 (+8 vs previous month)

We almost erased the merit increase observed last month in the WO thread.
So no clear evidence on how the quarantine/lockdown impacted the observing time of the WO gang. Last months it looked like quarantine made evereyoune stay longer on the forum, while this month looks like the effect was negative. Maybe it's only white noise, and @LFC_Bitcoin is right saying this is only a boring blabber on nothing.

Anyway, we made a record month for merits and merited users!
Halving is approaching , so new users are back from the death in the forum.
 
Lots of hats in the Top part of the chart. @LFC_BitcoinToxic and @Last of the V8s topped the chart one again, this month by a distance
 @LFC_Bitcoin, while @El Duderino_ slipping a little bit on the merit receiver's chart (maybe being drunk the most of the time isn't making his posting good enough? No more d**k pics luckily), but nonetheless he is once again a solid winner on the Merit Sender chart this month!

Lots of new faces around, nice!
WO is still the place to be!

MONTHLY sMERITS BALANCE

Code:

SMerits Balance=Received Merits/2-Sent Merits

Positive Balance means an user has been increasing sMerits on the WO thread, while negative numbers means the users has sent more merits on WO than received.
Negative numbers are possible or because he has been generous this week because he has been greedy past weeks (so only temporary imbalance), or because he has hoarded sMerits on other threads spending them on WO thread, or because he's a merit source.

Seriously, 9.4k was a gift

You should copy and paste this comment in a few months time and it will make more sense. 9.4k will be retrospectively seen as a gift for buyers by then.

I somewhat agree with HairyMaclairy, I have the feeling that the halving is priced in and we might revisit 7xxx soon and 5-figures are at least some months away still.

Huh?  A flat period for several months does not mean that the halvening is priced in.

We already know from experience that it could take several months before the BTC price goes upwards after this halvening as it did in previous halvenings.... A lot of those dynamics do not have much if anything to do with whether the halvening is priced in or not, just a matter of attempts to keep the BTC price down as low and for as long as possible, which ends up taking a while to play out in such a way that the reduced new supply contributes to continuing upwards pressures on BTC prices, including new people coming into bitcoin and including a lot of people neither understanding what the halvening is, including new people coming into bitcoin who cannot even understand what the halvening is because they do not even know what bitcoin is.  So, in that regard, it becomes very difficult to price anything in, if it is not understood.

Would love to be proven wrong, but honestly I don't care as long as we're not going sub 5k.

There is not a need for down before up, even though it could happen, and sure the farther down we go, the lower the probabilities, so we could predict sub $1k which would be less probable than sub $2k which is less probable than sub $3k, etc etc etc.

Same with the other direction.  We could go above $10k in the coming weeks or it could take a few years, but seems more likely that supra $10k is going to happen at some point in 2020, but just remains unclear about if such supra $10k will become sustainable at some point whether we are talking 2020, 2021 or perhaps later.

The rumors have been bought in the last weeks, now it's time for selling the news.

Likely macro uncertainty factors have more to do with downward pressures or feelings for liquidity rather than any one event, such as the halvening.

Admittedly that's all SOMA TA, but based on past experience in halvings in LTC and BTC.

Really comes off as SOMA when you are throwing LTC experience into the mix, which is almost completely irrelevant in regards to what BTC is going to do.  Sure, past BTC halvenings are likely to be relevant.

I'll just hodl it through, sideways between 7k and 9k is fine for me.

Great.... HODLing is a good idea  whether we go sideways or down.. or up.


I doubt that we are limited to $7k and $9k as our current consolidation range, and I am questioning if that is even a reasonable range since it seems to presume that $9.4k is not sustainable.. which I suppose is the theme of the week.

Plastic bags were never meant to be used as a single use product, human laziness has brought us to where we are currently, at the time of the invention, plastic bags were thought of as such that they could save the world, (since paper bags needed wood aka trees needed to be cut), and were much stronger and durable, making them reusable, but nahh why would you reuse a plastic bag when you could just throw it away and buy a new one for 5 cents right?

no one says they cant be reused for other stuff (i do and so do most all peeps i know.. after all they are pretty handy). just dont bring a dirty used one into the place i buy my food please. and of course dispose of them properly.

so for packing and carrying my food? pristine new ones only.

btw its ecologically cleaner and less wasteful of raw materials (includes energy and chemicals needed) to make single use plastic bags than to make recyclable ones. that includes paper bags too i believe. if i find the link ill post it.

Just got shared to a cool BTC Video so i had a thought to share it with you guys

To all hodlers, and Mindrust, a 2.5 minute message from Warren Buffett during yesterday's Berkshire Hathaway Annual Shareholder Meeting:

https://www.youtube.com/embed/69rm13iUUgE?start=11600&end=11756

Beautiful!

Just replace "stock" and "Berkshire Hathaway" with "Bitcoin" in the above clip, and he is SPOT ON!

Surely, even if Buffet is not a believer in bitcoin, we should be giving him credit for attempting to consistently follow a long term strategy within any of his investments, so anything bought today needs to have a long timeline before contemplating selling it.

Of course, with bitcoin we have been seeing buyers who have been able to get through 1 or 2 cycles, and to be able to cash out fairly BIGGLY - but at the same time, even those of us who have been in bitcoin for a long time, have gone through periods of seemingly extensive down that causes us to question our BTC convictions.

Sure, go ahead and buy some BTC today.


Maybe it will appreciate in price, and maybe it will take 4-6 years or maybe even as long as Warren Buffet suggests to be the considered timeline that goes up to close to 20 years?

In real life, I do become quite hesitant to recommend people to buy into BTC when they seem to have a time horizon that is less than a few years, but if they have 4-6 years, then I don't have too many problems making BTC recommendations to them but at the same time, I am always shirking any responsibility for their investment, so I have noticed that people in real life sometimes gather, from my shirking of responsibility regarding the BTC investment, that I am not recommending BTC with enough passion....   hahahahahaha  Sucks to be them.  

Sometimes I think of myself and my HoDLing status, and I come to the conclusion that something perversely weird has happened inside my mind: I just don't care about the BTC price anymore. Not really. I'm happy when it goes up, a little bored when it goes sideways, and buying (if I can) when it dips. Maybe it's because I've been HoDLing since 2015, and my subconscious lil' selfie really considers all the fiat I've used to obtain my coins as "money already lost"^TM.

I used to be worried and stressed over BTC price, nearly sold a good amount of coins in early 2017 (reason I didn't sell was because my Kraken sell order never went through due to them using ZX Spectrum 48Ks as their servers -- thanks Kraken, I owe you one). Since then, I've been so hardened that I don't even blink at a dip (no matter how deep).

As for recommending Bitcoin to friends, family, colleagues, I try to give the facts and let them decide, clearly stating I'm not responsible for any investment they make. A few years ago I was laughed at, ridiculed and even called a criminal supporter. Now I get the odd phone call from friends wanting to know more. Most of them end up buying altcoins "because they are cheaper"...

Still early days for Bitcoin IMHO. We're all early adopters!

declining...8699 8719.

Why always on Sunday night? Darned stock futures and Asia trading, perhaps.

The halvening pump is over (or near enough). Time to find a new base for the 2021 bull.  

Hairy our dear friend.
Mean’t to spread some hopium.
Not to cut my breath.

A nice base would be ?
Seven full hours till halving.
Could live with 8 k.....

I'm still in favor of his $12k prediction.
That said, any prediction is out of the window atm.
After all, we have the rest of the year to find a solid base for the 2021 bull.

Come to think about it abit, as we have 8 Billion people right? We should unite and use BTC as Payment system, Create an International Business to clean the Planet of Plastic and harmful Chemicals. I am sure we can figure it out ? Is this a dream? Or a possibility?

Not to be a tree hugger which i am lol... but someone has to find a solution for this right? Why not BTC and united effort to cleaning
