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

[DaRude]

Wut?
Coinbase from February 2009 has just been moved!

Someone moved the coinbase from block 3,654!
This is HODLING!

With a 80/20 split -- my guess is that someone professionally recovered the wallet password.    I've used a service, took 14 months to crack but they did it and took 20%.   This could be an old wallet.dat file that someone found and didn't have password.  

I think this is highly unlikely.  Possible, yes... but kind of the opposite of Occams razor.  Someone mining literally 1 month in?  The chances of this person losing their key is pretty slim.  This is a fairly rarified group of cypherpunks at that point.  Things like passwords and the like are in their blood.

Also it is extremely unlikely that this person needs to move those coins.

So that means this is being done for another reason.

And that is why the entire market just sneezed and is now holding it's breath.

I expect CSW comes out full bore shortly.  And one motivation for doing this would be to lay a trap for him.  I would LOVE TO SEE THAT.  Course, I guess this could also be the tip of the "rolling iceburg"? ROTFLMFAO.

The reality is whomever did this... there is 99% chance that this is all meta.  Know what I mean?  They are not planning on building a new swimming pool or something.

My bet is on Hal's estate, just selling some FIFO

Bitcoin remains the best investment on the block, even if more Armageddon-like circumstances end up playing out way more than we would have wished them to be.. and yeah there could be some shutting down of the internet and communications, too but is that really going to bring down the value of bitcoin and our ability to store it and perhaps transmit value from time to time, as needed in it?  Yeah, sure, buy yourself some guns, bullets and maybe even a bunker, and hopefully that does not take up too much of your current resources that you cannot keep a decent amount of your value in bitcoin a the same time..

wow and i though i was the doom and gloom guy. im far too small a target to worry. even us average folks have investments and advisers.

[JayJuanGee]

Perhaps we can raise some money for our bro? Like donations for ex-bitcoiners who were forced to sell?  

We could have a "fallen bros" donation fund.

Like insurance for hat wearers.

What could go wrong?

Does mindrust qualify?  

That's part of the problem of any bailout... how to decide criteria and who would qualify?  This would not really be insurance unless members would have to pay in to be eligible.. and that would likely be shut down soon by admins of the forum...

Probably any such fund would establish the criteria ahead of time, and then contributions would be made into such fund based on the criteria that had already been established.  You see how quickly it gets messy.

I suppose any well to do member might establish such fund himself/herself and maybe even fund such effort to the extent that donations might not cover it.. but then if there were a fund that required group input, then the selection or election of the group might be established ahead of time, too.

It seems messy, almost no matter what when we are on the interwebs, because it can be quite difficult to verify some of the stories, so maybe in some sense, the whole concept of a fund would be from a benevolent dictator rather than a committee because the benevolent dictator would not necessarily have to account, except when s/he is receiving funds people expect some kind of an accounting, and s/he could decide if s/he believes the story (and justification) for a bailout with some portion of the funds.

Let's say for example that I had started a fund earlier in the year, and I had already set forth that I was going to consider various cases in which members might need a bailout, and maybe one of the criteria would be that any bailout would be locked up for one year and another criteria would be that they would have to lock up some amount that is similar to the bailout and also employ dollar cost averaging and HODLing.. blah blah blah.  I also disclosed that I had .5BTC that I was going to start out with the fund, and I set forth some criteria, and I said that anyone could donate to the fund, if s/he wanted to help the fund.  So in the last several months, I had received an additional .1BTC.. so the totality of the fund had added up to .6BTC.

Thereafter, I had been confronted with the case of mindrust and the case of VB1001, and based on my having had gathered evidence, I decided that mindrust deserved a .05BTC bailout and VB1001 deserved a .125 bailout (this conclusion regarding amounts is hypothetical and is assuming some facts that might not be in evidence, such as mindrust having had panic sold and that VB1001 was more morally justified in his having had sold.. which might well be BIG-ASS assumptions but are fine for illustrative purposes).  

So in the end, members might decide to support (or give to) the fund based on my previous decisions, my stated criteria and they might believe that I am a fair person in these kinds of ways.  Others might not want to give to such a fund for a variety of reasons including that they don't agree with bailouts, they don't trust my decisions in regards to eligibility or my discretion (or they don't want to give me such powers) and/or they also might believe that there is a long scam potential or exit scam potential with the establishment of such a honey pot. Seems messy to me, but there could be ways to arrange such a thing, but anyone who arranges it too, and agrees to take donations, is likely going to receive negative feedback and skepticism regarding their purported good intentions.

So 50 BTC got moved from a wallet from 2009? People are saying it was one of the known addresses for CSW? What is everyone elses input on that? I really do not believe he is Satoshi! Now he may have been an early adopter but I do not think he was part of the (TEAM) behind bitcoin....


I just wish I had 1 out of 50 of those coins.... It is crazy to me that 1 block of 50 BTC is worth half a million dollars now... smh why did I not know about BTC back then smh...

Changed my summer holiday last night due to COVID19, we were due to stay in a villa in Tenerife. It was free to edit the holiday with the same company so to be safe I said to the girl to rebook for April 2021, I let the girl loose with the booking reference & when I ask where she booked she answers Mexico & it’s an extra £2500.

Fucking women, I hope r0ach doesn’t see this post.

When $10,000?

Id ve asked her to book a date when all accept Bitcoin to pay

than 10K

 then

 Than is used for comparison, then is used for time.  What you wrote can make sense using either then or than but they have entirely different meanings.

 Of course I could be mistaken in what you meant to say; it's better then than than then.

A hat-maker with an engwish teaching side gig, or the other way around?

Who proclaimed that jacks-of-all-trades had gone extinct?

Am I the only one who believes that it will fell below 8000$?

In short: yes

This is possible.  But it seems unlikely to me.  Someone in that position would almost CERTAINLY be being advised by a cryptographer with a good idea of what these action would portend. 

It is EXTREMELY unlikely that someone that holds keys to that early block would move those coins without knowing it was going to be a earthquake in the BTC community.  Which raises the likelyhood that they are doing it BECAUSE of that.  Not in spite of it.

[serveria.com]

Old coins moving - bullish. Some early adopter getting ready for a face-melting bullrun (probably he has got some insider info on that). Just wants to cash out so moved his coins to the exchange. Not sure why it's considered FUD. Probably because there's not much real FUD around nowadays? How about China bans BTC?  

[jojo69]

not much of an earthquake TBH

[cAPSLOCK]

I assume you mean the price.  I am talking about the conversation.  I have not looked at twitter yet, but I bet I know what they are talking about.

This a mix of Legacy 1x Segwit 3x and native segwit bcX addresses.

And only two of them bech32.  With one of those getting 78% of the 10.

Of course this also might be the payee moving these, as has been mentioned this could be a 20% cut.  But how strange that would be.

[JimboToronto]

Am I the only one who believes that it will fell below 8000$?

Probably.

Any reason for thinking that?

The 10 BTC (minus transaction fees) likely went to an exchange and all of those other addresses are part of the exchange operation not the miner in question.

[JayJuanGee]

Am I the only one who believes that it will fell below 8000$?

No.  There are likely a few other losers, no coiners, fence sitters, bitcoin naysayers, sold too much too sooners, and/or alt coin pumpeners who are in the same camp of wishfulness as you.
