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

To anyone who is not a complete moron I simply say wear a respirator with P100 filters. MSA makes a nice model that does the job even if a POS coughs on you.

properly fitted p100s are easier to breath through than n95s anyway, and are actually pretty comfortable. i used p100s for years in my line of work so maybe im just used to them.

and nothing gives more peace of mind knowing than aint nothing getting through them, basically.

one thing i did do is buy a couple brands with different fittings so i would have a better supply of cartridges in case one brand had a shortage. although if left sealed the carts have a pretty good shelf life.

Problem with masks is the air that goes around them, especially at the bridge of the nose.  Masks claim to filter out 95 percent (or whatever) but really only filter what goes through the material.  I worked as a carpenter for many years, and I often wore the N95 masks in very dusty environments.  Somehow the masks never seemed to get as dirty as you would expect.
I'm sure the big rubber respirators that look like gas masks work better.

Yeah, but mine was a typo 'cause of my cheap useless keyboard. Hairy just can't spell, and he is a native speaker.

[Arriemoller]

I really need a new keyboard, it misses like every seventh or so keystroke for some reason.

[Arriemoller]

Maybe it's all those times my cats have pushed of my desk.

Se, now it missed "it".

And now "e"

See what I have to work with here.

edit: Why the hell does a lambo cost more than a set of lungs installed?

yeah and the resale value of the lungs probably doesnt deprecate either. sounds like the better deal to me.

@phil. heres to a speedy recovery to you and your wife.

The Fibonacci projection from March low to July break-out looks to be pointing to a pull-back to 1.618 at $14K or otherwise continuation to the 2.618 at $20K. Also to note the current logarithmic growth band we are facing resistance ("third lowest") was also the same resistance as late 2018, support & resistance in early 2019, as well as 2020 to some degree.



I'm liking the good of what happened in May 2020, with a Weekly candle of 22% that broke through it  
Also happy to buy the dip in the $12-14K if price goes the other way. Lower log band currently sitting at $12.1K.


Shorter-term...

I think there's still room to move down to $15.5K strong volume support, that will likely be very well defended. I also don't think the correction needs to go any deeper after very recently making new 3-year highs at $16.5K. The current level is old resistance that will likely become new support before moving higher again. The trend is your friend.

It's happening again - I've started getting messages from friends-of-friends asking whether I think they should invest in xxx shitcoin, because apparently it's the new bitcoin.

So 2017.

You may have a problem with system interrupting or something.

What does task manager say is happening when it misses typing?

[vapourminer]

Maybe it's all those times my cats have pushed of my desk.

Se, now it missed "it".

And now "e"

See what I have to work with here.

couple of my keyboards have removable caps (gaming keyboards with mechanical switches) and one of my cats discovered how easy it is to pull caps off with her claws. she was very thorough, only left a few on, probably got bored.

now, loose keycaps skitter across hardwood floors extremely well and also fit down the air return vents in the floor. i just wound up buying a full replacement set.

i still find keycaps even now..

A day without a new AYH is so dull... I am finally able to concentrate and do some work.  

Yeah, joke aside, I think we can break the ATH in the next 2 weeks. I just don't see any meaningfull resistance until then. And if that happens, the FOMO will kick in. Then the first major resistance I expect will be between $45K and $55K.

Of course this is just a SOMA prediction, not a trading advice. Anything can happen. But so far my gut feeling was right. In June 2019 when the price steeply approached 14K, I felt a big crash is coming. Then my gut feeling spoke to me: yes, but... BETTER times will come for Bitcoin. Shortlly after that my gut feeling spoke again: after that EVEN BETTER times will come. And finally, to my surprise it spoke again: and after that the BEST times for Bitcoin will come. I felt goose pumps and I know this is about some not so distant future, 5-8 years max (ok, I may be wrong, it may take longer, idk for sure).

The interesting part in this "prophecy" is that the word "times" was used instead of the word "price". What we see now is not that the price is much higher (only 30%ish higher), but rather better times indeed. It is mass adoption: institutions rushing in, paypal, etc.  Now, I trust more this feeling, after the first propecy is so spectacularly fulfilled. So I (hope I will be able to) hodl until it is fulfilled entirely, with some minor sales here and there. The best times for me will be when Bitcoin is recognized as the world reserve currency, for starters

Edit. Speaking of institutions, Grayscale has increased for the last 5 months their Bitcoin holdings from 360K to 506K.

sure.

the fact that u need 3 posts to excuse your stupidity and blaming it on cats and keyboards tells a lot about your maturity. a spelling/grammar nazi should really be a tiny bit more careful in his own posts. I saw your mistake yesterday and so did everyone. did I or harry or anyone else take the effort and point it out to you? take it like a man, sissy. you are making it worse.

Meta topic:  Moderator deletion of serious discussion in the Wall Observer

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5289261.0

I am not generally wont to complain about moderation; to the contrary, I think that there should be more of it.  However, there is a real and perhaps unprecedented problem whereas the following posts, fully reposted below, were deleted by a Bitcoin Forum moderator (not by infofront) from the Wall Observer:

All timestamps are UTC.  Listed in reverse chronological order of when each post was made.

• [WO] Blockseer, U.S. OFAC, and attacks on Bitcoin fungibility (A post about Bitcoin transaction censorship by a new mining pool.) • Post timestamp: 2020-11-14 00:49:51 • Deleted at: 2020-11-14 07:06:49
• [WO] Communism and Covid (Re Communist thought-control.) • Post timestamp: 2020-11-13 23:59:15 • Deleted at: 2020-11-14 07:06:51
• [WO] E pur si muove (A post about Twitter’s suppression of free discussion.) • Post timestamp: 2020-11-13 18:05:22 • Deleted at: 2020-11-14 07:06:43

[...]

For my part, I am usually supportive of the moderators; they have a hard job, and I have no wish to make it harder.  However, if I were to say nothing about this publicly, then I would hereafter need perpetually to second-guess myself on whether I have permission to discuss Big Tech censorship (!) and Bitcoin transaction censorship (!!) on this forum.  Inter alia.

In the future, please avoid posting things that need to be deleted.

I would feel thus a chill wind blow over my ability to engage in serious discussion here, if I did not place the individual who deleted my posts on notice that I will call out exceptionally stupid moderation decisions.

[Paashaas]

Global daily cases and deaths at record highs.

Full lockdown in Austria and Greece plans to tighten lockdown restrictions.

Crematorium in Milan can't keep up with the deaths and Naple's hospitals overloaded.

Cases on the rise in Indonesia, Japan and South Korea.

US reports a whopping record of more than 180,000 daily cases.

It's happening again - I've started getting messages from friends-of-friends asking whether I think they should invest in xxx shitcoin, because apparently it's the new bitcoin.

So 2017.

I am moving beyond just saying "yes, just by bitcoin and hold it".

Instead I will ask them to ask themselves why they never bought bitcoin before. In what ways are they living their life differently from the many people that bought bitcoin early. Why is it that they are just now considering buying. If they just want to get rich in dollars then they have missed the whole point of bitcoin and they should not buy.

If they want to buy bitcoin they should stop watching the media and propaganda that has hidden bitcoin from them this whole time. They should actually start looking into what money is and what gives it value.  They should actually read the White Paper to find out what this whole 'Bitcoin' thing is all about.

If they want to go down that road, then my door is wide open and the advice is free. If they just wanna get rich on the next boom, then gtfo.

@karenSanmol
We found the first time someone said "Bitcoin is going to the moon".

The price of #bitcoin   was $0.11

https://twitter.com/karensanmol/status/1327307056332890120?s=21

How is it that so many of these Bitcoin OGs fall into the shitcoin trap? That Bimmerhead dude should be a Bitcoin gazillionaire by now (and a maximalist).

the farther back in time, the less clear everything was around bitcoin. I, for example thought at the beginning that additional protocols are important as a replacement chain should bitcoin go offline ( ) and that competition was good on protocol levels.

i had no idea that this was the start of the great plague of shitcoinery.

imho Vitalik will be remembered as the guy who coined the term "bitcoin maximalist" but no one will remember ETH. it is kind of ironic that is was vitalik who gave the bitcoin community its identity. before a bitcoiner was a bitcoiner. but a bitcoin maxi is a completely different beast. he tried to introduce this term as an insult. and in typical bitcoin grandeur, the supposed attack was morphed into something that made bitcoin stronger.

hasta la victoria siempre!

As far as that guy goes, he gets what he gets. I distinctly remember when Vitalik launched ETC, he made it very very clear that ETC was not even a "cryptocurrency" per se. He said that. He also said that ETC would never be a competitor to Bitcoin. Those were his exact words. Then somewhere along the line he started to get 'selective amnesia' about the things he actually said... so fk that guy.

nullius can you please conform to Bitcointalk Suchmoon's Vision and not retitle the thread. apparently it equates to derailing.

Your wrong.  There is a world of difference between a simple typographical error, which everybody (and even nobody) sometimes makes (its just human!), and a looser who cant distinguish the meanings of drastically different homophones.

If that upsets you, to bad.

#condescension backfire

What’s wrong?  You are literate in ancient Greek, and you have a scholarly critique of my admittedly amateurish grammar?  Or do you complain that the word I constructed from Greek roots was inadvertently omitted from your dictionary?

[...much lulz...]

P.S., just in case you ever do catch me in such typographical errors as I not infrequently find in my own posts, keep handy my stock answer for criticisms from creatures far below my level:

—Am I mortal?  Do I myself sometimes make bizarre typographical errors (usually induced whilst editing) which are not caught by my obsessive exercise of the preview button to read proof?  Alas!  It most saddens me when such a fate befalls one of my precious little belles-lettres.  Nobody has yet dared to flame me over such a triviality; but if or when that happens, my response may be expected to be along these lines:

“Quel dommage!  I have erred!  😢  The form of my art is marred by some trivial flaw which dishonours its unavoidable substance!  I will now slap myself in the face with a large trout, and then drink myself into a stupor.  Meanwhile, complaints from my critics shall be filed according to the virtù of their own substances, as measured against mine. 🗑️”
