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

Alaska's only at 56%. The two people counting the ballots stepped out to have a beer and got stuck in a snowstorm at the bar, conveniently.

Alaska has counted ZERO mail in ballots.  They have only counted votes on the day which of course skew Republican.  A 62 / 33 split for Trump on in person voting is not a good result for Trump.

There will be squeals of indignation when they start to count mail in ballots and Biden starts to catch up in Alaska.  Given mail in ballots can skew as high as 80% to Biden there is even a chance he could take Alaska.  A pretty slim chance but still possible.    

Conservatives can complain about vote rigging when they stop drawing districts that looks like this:

The frankenstrat pattern is making visibility difficult.



 Can anyone make it out?

[HairyMaclairy]

I know it’s there but you wouldn’t see it if you weren’t specifically looking for it TBH.  But that might be part of the appeal.

 Thanks Mr. Maclairy!  I figured it wasn't just me.  Back to the drawing board.
I was trying to make one quickly since I have to do some shopping before the stores close.  I don't want it to me on me and d_eddie because Bitcoin stays in the $15ks

For a US cit, what's the valid options these days?

Gemini is solid, IMO.

Personally , I think the right vs left is a diversion. Politics is corrupt to the core. Both sides including the DOJ and CIA the whole system.  I also think Americans both liberal and conservatives can become united again, when both sides realize the government is not there to look after their interests. ( Think Edward Snowden and what he revealed)

Just my take on things....Isn't that why we all own Bitcoin???

If I can live to be 220 years old and witness the price of bitcoin would be a dream.

As far as I can tell, many Biden supporters in PA actually made to 220 years old so far: https://data.pa.gov/widgets/mcba-yywm sort by birthdate and you will see

So went down to the local bitcoin ATM to pick up a thousand in either litecoin or bitcoin. First the owner changed and now it only does BTC. Second their fucking buy price was $14,600 and sell price of $18,500. Fuck you does not begin to describe my thoughts on this matter :-)

Jesus, sounds amazing. Empty that guy out 

[vapourminer]

Maybe it's time to go get a real exchange account tied to a real bank and passport and a sample of my nutter butter. For a US cit, what's the valid options these days?

been with coinbase for almost a decade. no issues. yubikey 2fa and whitelisted addies for withdrawals are the two main features i like as an on/off ramp. link it to a dedicated account.

and yes they track the snot outta you and have a bit of a checkered history. but leaving that aside..

The fun part: if the Trump camp is indeed able to uncover a load of mail voting fraud  

Not gonna happen... You cannot uncover some thing that is a fantasy, unless you plant such evidence.. or just make the shit up out of pie in the sky wishful thinking, which seems to be a lot of what has been happening in Trump's framing of such non-existing issue...

It's like the Ethereum folks making believe that they have an actual decentralized coin... Sounds good in theory.. but really there is hardly any evidence for such a phenomena in the wild.

Fraud in voting in the USA does not take place on the micro-level, it is more of a macro-problema... to the extent that such macro-level problems are investigated... or have tools in place to investigate... take voting machines for example, they have been designed in such a way that they cannot be audited.. get real.. They have a similar design as an ATM, but would any half-way intelligent ATM owner/operator choose to run an ATM that could not be audited?  We should be considering the extent to which fraud is taking place, and it is not regular Joes committing fraud... as much as fantasy thinkers would wish such to be the case.

as I noted in an earlier post { https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=178336.msg55491561#msg55491561 }

 the  best streak of above 12,584

was from 2017-12-06 to 2018-01-15  that was 41 days

so 17 down and 24 to go.

   This will be a really nice streak to break.

  If we stay hot we break the streak on Dec. 2, 2020

so 2020-12-02 here we come.

This is why bitcoin is a social phenomenon.
It unites leftists,  conservatives, Jews,  Palestinians, wall street investors, silicon valley nerds ,Chinese miners , Russians, Venezuelans trying to survive, Syrian refugees trying to flee to Turkey.  You name it!

It goes beyond nations, beyond religion, beyond politics.  Can bch do that,? Visa? Nano? Banks?

[infofront]

Does he not realize that counting ballots actually takes time?

... I've always wondered why in all the democratic world it is only Democrat inner-city US counties that take forever to count their vote?

... they have more people so should be able to count faster ... or? are they stupider? why do they always delay their vote count? do you not find that strange?

The inner cities are completely corrupt Democrat cesspools. On election night, they pause the counting, wait for the results to come in from the rest of the state, figure out how many votes they're down by, manufacture whatever votes they need, then resume counting. It's the oldest [US] political trick in the book.

This approach was famously pioneered by Chicago Mayor Richard J. Daley. He essentially controlled every Illinois State election while he was in office in the 50s-70s.

My theory is that Trump pissed off all the Libs and some of the independents so they all got together in this big gang and voted against him at the next election.

And the reason it is faster to count rural areas in Nevada and Arizona is because the rural areas are made of sand and the urban areas actually have people in them.  

It's amazing how cities with millions of people like New York, Chicago, Houston, L.A., etc. have no problem getting their ballots counted on election day. However, second tier cities like Detroit and Philadelphia, in battleground states with democrat governors, have ballot counting that goes on for days and is fraught with problems.

You should retract this statement as it is one of complete ignorance.

Or worse yet you know why it happened and are lying.

This happened with all five last to tally states.

North Carolina
Pennsylvania
Nevada
Georgia
Arizonia

They counted the mail in votes last as prescribed by state laws which were created by republican controlled legislators.

if you can prove this bolded line wrong with documentation > I will retract my post.

Take a look at this, you sanctimonious fuck: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/08/11/us/politics/vote-by-mail-us-states.html

People can vote by mail in all 50 states, and without an excuse in 43 states. In WA, OR, CA, UT, NV, CO, NJ, VT, and HI, all registered voters received ballots by mail, and most likely were the states with the most mail-in voting. Of the five states you listed, only NV mailed ballots to everyone.

So explain to me again why those five states you listed are some of the only ones having counting problems.

Anybody stacking sats here (apart from mining)?

For some strange reason, Bossian has not been very active in recent times.

He owes me 0.05BTC if (when really) we reach a new ATH before 1st January 2022.
He probably won’t return!

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5205829.msg53223585#msg53223585

Lauda already gave him red trust, before she exited, herself.

Personally, LFC, I would not be giving him (Bossian) any kind of out...

His feet need to be held to the fire... that fucktwat.

California:  77% counted
Illinois: 88% counted
Texas: 96% counted

Pennsylvania:  96% counted.

I don’t think you can say Pennsylvania is doing poorly compared to California, Illinois or even Texas

California and Texas are the two most populous states. California mailed ballots to everyone, as did 8 other states (and D.C.), with no such problems that I'm aware of.

[infofront]

I should've known better than to chime in to that discussion. Politics is too divisive.
I'll try to keep it to bitcoin as much as I can help it.
