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

[elrippos friend]

That was true ten years ago.
Today Amazon will make you jump through hoops.
Uber will tell on you to the tax authorities.
Twitter will ban you.
Bitcoin still works though.
Youtube will ban you.
Popular cities are banning AirBnb.
Wikipedia is kidnapped by the left.
And the internet is being increasingly controlled and monitored by just about anyone who can.

Thanks, had to merit you

since summer I made it a habit to listen to bitcoin podcasts. the amount of good content about bitcoin is impressive. let´s take Guy Swann as an example. he has spit out more than 400 episodes, mainly just reading essential bitcoin pieces but also good interviews and talks. it just lately dawned on me that he got in bitcoin around 2017. and lots of really good writings about bitcoin were created by folks who got into bitcoin 2018 or even later.

in a time period where I contemplated how I can fire up my full node those guys learned about bitcoin, jumped down the rabbit hole, went all-in, started to live and breathe bitcoin, started to work for bitcoin, started to educate others about bitcoin and got to a position where I can learn from them about bitcoin.

I always thought being active in this forum and checking for bitcoin related news would sort of keep me up to date. but fuck no, I have to admit that this isn't the case. intellectual laziness spotted.

not only has my knowledge and insight about bitcoin gotten deeper, in addition my attitude towards and believe in bitcoin has improved. I don't think I was ever that confident about the future of bitcoin.

also, it seems that folks that got in later are able to learn quicker than it was possible for example in 2013. they seem to start on a different foundation.

here are some examples of good bitcoin podcasts.

Really straightforward piece.

Another great way to take the emotion out of the process is to “Dollar Cost Average”. Simply deploy a fixed percentage of your monthly pay check straight into an index, or a hard asset. Set and forget. Follow this process through to retirement and you will do better than most. For example, if you had dollar cost averaged into Bitcoin every week over the last 3 years starting at the Bitcoin peak in 2017 and continuing to today (15 October 2020), you would have returned over 30% per year even though Bitcoin is down over 40% from the top!

Kucoin hacked, Owner of Bitmax faced criminal charge, OKEx suspended withdrawals. There were so many reasons for a dump. But bitcoin still stays strong  I remember what would happen if we face such things in 2017 2018 

That's called scarcity... 

[JimboToronto]

Good day Bitcoinland.
One one four six three dollars
(Bitcoinaverage).

No Sunday rally
To break the doldrums this week.
Sideways yet again.

And so life goes on
Perpetually forward
In the way you choose.

dont know much about this now but it looks interesting enough    #dyor


think most of this has been seen but a refresh can be nice once in a blue moon

https://seekingalpha.com/article/4379606-next-phase-for-bitcoin

Summary

Carlota Perez's Technological Revolutions and Financial Capital is a framework that divides technological paradigm shifts into installation and deployment phases.

Recent developments support the idea that we are moving into the deployment phase for bitcoin.

This will lead to widespread adoption of bitcoin as an asset class, and an ecosystem of business necessary to allow institutions to invest in it.

A large amount of institutional capital will move into a small market driving prices higher.

Hiakuless spin
Looking upwards to the stars
Smiles filling my soul

[marcus_of_augustus]

Thus, God himself wills it—and/or God is powerless to intervene against it—and/or God does not know the future, such that he can stop evil from occurring.

Do not fret because of those who are evil
or be envious of those who do wrong;
for like the grass they will soon wither,
like green plants they will soon die away.

Trust in the Lord and do good;
dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture.
Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart.

Commit your way to the Lord;
trust in him and he will do this:
 
He will make your righteous reward shine like the dawn,
your vindication like the noonday sun.
 
Be still before the Lord
and wait patiently for him;
do not fret when people succeed in their ways,
when they carry out their wicked schemes.
 
Refrain from anger and turn from wrath;
do not fret—it leads only to evil.
 
For those who are evil will be destroyed,
but those who hope in the Lord will inherit the land.

A little while, and the wicked will be no more;
though you look for them, they will not be found.
But the meek will inherit the land
and enjoy peace and prosperity.
 
The wicked plot against the righteous
and gnash their teeth at them;
but the Lord laughs at the wicked,
for he knows their day is coming

 

... pleasant sentiment but it's a lot like the Fermi paradox "Where is he?"

... for as long as I've been alive wicked people have run amok on the Planet. Looking back in history I don't really seen it has been a whole lot different.

... hope is not a plan.

Saylor brought us hope.


it belongs to bitcoin now. https://twitter.com/michael_saylor/status/1317441784109203457

In these challenging times, #Bitcoin represents hope to billions of people in need of an instrument of economic empowerment. Accordingly, we have redirected the hope domain to the #Bitcoin Education section of our website. Spread the word - #Bitcoin is http://hope.com

Election time is coming. So nobody will go in a high risk position. I don't think we will see any sharp moves for 2 weeks more. We can enjoy life a bit with less positions.

Btw crazy thing is really vaccine announcement is depend on elections? Since Trump is using that argument to get more votes.

Consciousness expands
Psilocybin mushroom quest

I always loved shrooms
in unoccupied nature
and LSD too

Drugs tell no truths.  They do not “expand” consciousness, but dissolve it.  They can turn you into a superstitious nitwit, with voluntarily self-inflicted mental retardation plus schizophrenia.  That is all.


Don’t get me wrong.  Self-harm and suicide are absolute rights, abrogated only by the worst of slave states.  The solution to drug abuse is to give users more drugs; it is cleansing, and even eugenic.

...self-limiting problem...

They can turn you into a superstitious nitwit

No more superstitious than somebody who has never experienced psychedelics for themselves but label them as "bad" without fully understanding them.

Psychedelic drugs aren't addictive and can be quite educational if you let them work their magic.

Don't knock it until you've tried it.

Bitcoin will win when we all will start thinking in BTC terms only. Paying in sats, asking for sats, doing channels with the grocery store, the pub, the cabman etc. Until those days there will be no mercy from financial incumbents.

regarding podcasts and such, thank you all I merited here and there but........my god that's loads of listenings!

I have missed the posts about bitcoin podcasts in march of this year.

just slammed them all in one post, it is a bit redundant and sloppy. I did not know that they were so abundant. very cool, I will check them all out. when someone first hears about bitcoin it seems overwhelmingly complicated. when going down the rabbit hole and one "gets it" it seems to be actually not that complicated at all: a global ledger on a peer2peer network telling us who owns what that gets audited every 10 minutes and is neither forgeable nor stoppable. but when you go down deeper the details, structures, principles, incentives and emerging functionalities again do get overwhelmingly complex.

I can only recommend to all of you, no matter how long into the space: dig deeper down the rabbit hole, it is rewarding. the protocol may need to ossify, but not your brain.

Well done 600watt! I would suggest you create a thread outside the WO. You could help a few more bitcoiners with this list. Either way, I'm quoting this as a future reference. And then a question: given the huge amount of sources, what would you personally suggest to start with?
Thank you very much
