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

[JayJuanGee]

It’s when the $ exceeds the number of pages on the WO.  Obviously.  

$27,600, the Real All Time High  

The ath is @ $19666+1

Then we will enjoy daily aths for some time.. until we reach the cycle top.. and i pray the lord its not only at current page parity

There are probably several of us looking forward to getting to page parity again, and furthermore looking forward to a kind of staying above page parity.... so stop typing so many posts, you fucks!!!!! (yours truly excluded).

Some of us, also, may recall that we did get above page parity in December 2017, and I believe that it was NOT even a whole day.. it may have been only a few hours.. and the page count at the time was in the lower $19k's as I recall.  It may even be reflected in thread history... even though the WO page numbering is likely screwed up... thanks a lot bbbbbbaaaaaaaawwwwwbbbb...  

overinvested in bitcoin

It’s funny.  I never hear people say, “overinvested in (dollars|euros|whatever)”.  ;-)

Can one be overinvested in money?  Is that like allocating too much cash in your portfolio?

Firing at random, for I am now something like 20 pages behind WO.  ATH yet?

Yes, from a financial perspective, you can be overinvested in $, € or whatever kind of asset. It's all just about balancing/hedging a portfolio. YMMV.

With Bitcoin, due to its extraordinarie appreciation over time, it is somewhat easy to become "overinvested"... even if that was intended or not.

I am probably "overinvested" in Bitcoin currently... but YOLO. Again, YMMV.

I claim to have been overinvested in bitcoin since about November or December 2014.. yet it did not stop me from continuing to put money into BTC and to stay in a kind of "overinvested" state of being.  I agree with the YMMV aspect, because each of us has to weigh where we are at, and how much "overinvesting" in any particular asset may be acceptable... so even though I frequently denigrate the concept of gambling, I admit to being a bit of a hypocrite gambler myself- yet I still would proclaim that there are degrees to many things.. so sometimes can be difficult to figure out with any kind of precision where the right balance of "overdoing it" might lie for any particular person at any particular snap-shot time in his (or even her) life.

The shitty thing is, I just realized that now my profile looks as if I'm a pré-Merit member who's never succeeded in getting more than 8 Merits during his entire membership on these boards.

Feels a bit like downgrading as a "big" 12-year-old kid in elementary school back down to suddenly being a junior in high school.

^^^ THIS!!!

Discussion transplanted:  The Gresham’s Law of account rank and grandfathered merits.

I have been complaining about the “grandfathered” merits since February–March 2018.  Now, I look like some idiotic “Legendary” who has earned only 1045 merits.    Did theymos learn nothing from monetary policy, Gresham’s Law, etc.?

[...]

Youthful accounts with high merit are glamorous.  Highly-ranked accounts don’t look like wise elders, thanks to the inflationary effect of grandfathered merits:  They look like people who have just been shitposting for a very long time.


friends1980, congratulations on the new rank.  Though wouldn’t it be much sweeter if you could dispense with the 100 grandfathered merits, and celebrate self-made Hero bragging rights after you have earned 500 merits?  At the rate that you are now going, it will not take long!

Anyway, a toast with something other than Chianti:

(buy your stock of champagne for the next 3 years people - prices are ridiculously low atm, since meetings and parties are forbidden, therefore there's a huge overstock)

Thread seems pretty dead for beating on a new ATH no?

I call troll.

In approximately the past four days, I missed about a zillion pages of WO just because it is moving too fast, and I do not currently have time even to skim it.

Is that itself a market indicator?  ;-)

Yes, it means we are near the all time high I believe, and die hard Bitcoiners are getting a little excited. Even if now it looks like we are correcting a little...

Start of the bull market?   Motherfucker we have been in a bull market since the Halvening. 

Since about April 1, 2019, I would proclaim - even though we did not likely realize such bull market entrance until about the first week of May 2019. 

YMMV - causing you to be wrong.  

 

How you going to pay in BTC if the person refuses to accept BTC..?  Hold a gun to their head?  You cannot assume away the point that I was making by saying, "if you pay in BTC" when you have not even gotten to that point yet, can you?

Of course. However some places do take BTC, yet I've never seen one whose prices are BTC nominated, and don't move with the BTC/USD price. So in reality the prices are still un USD (other fiat).

Of course, some places take BTC... that is not the point that I was making... so you keep arguing the premises... which is non-responsive and ultimately, another point.  Sure, your point may be a fair point, but it is still a different point.

Regarding the further additional point of actually pricing goods/services in BTC.. no one had even been coming close to that point, in earlier posts... and sure, I would agree that pricing in BTC without any kind of peg is a more rare occurrence and likely even further into the future in terms of becoming some kind of common practice.. even though such a non-pegging is likely to come.

.... so stop typing so many posts, you fucks!!!!! (yours truly excluded).

Hey, easy does it there Jay. I resemble that remark.
WOPCOP   (ie, Wall Observer Page COunt Parity, (not a police officer of Italian persuasion)) will occur shortly anon, so keep it in your pants.
And this will truly be a momentous occasion.
Maybe even more so than the amazing  founding of the exclusive I-got-a-special-hat club.

...... even though the WO page numbering is likely screwed up... thanks a lot bbbbbbaaaaaaaawwwwwbbbb...  

Hang on a minute... bobs mass deletion helped the cause, didn't it?

[JayJuanGee]

Thread seems pretty dead for beating on a new ATH no?

Or you all to busy crossing your fingers and rubbing your hands together?

That's what happens when people have to stare at the same price for days and days. Being close to an ATH becomes irrelevant and boredom sets in.

You won't find any clearer real-life definition of luxury problems.

I've put a bottle of champagne in the fridge, will pop it as soon as ATH is crushed.

(buy your stock of champagne for the next 3 years people - prices are ridiculously low atm, since meetings and parties are forbidden, therefore there's a huge overstock)

Define "crushed."  By the way, all LFC needs in order to win his bet with Bossian is to go above $19,666 for one instance (one trade) - so a price of $19,666.01 may likely do, but just to be MOAR safer (and clear ambiguity), it may be better to reach $19,667 with at least one bitstamp trade.

I was largely attempting to refer to the research efforts in terms of page-counts matching up with when the posts were actually made.  As far as making it easier to reach price/page parity, sure, I will concede that bbbbbbaaaaaaaawwwwwbbbb helped that particular "cause" in the event that you would like to make it "easier" to reach price/page parity - which probably would not be my preference... because we could likely create a joint campaign now to delete posts in order to reach price/page parity more quickly, and I would not consider that to be a better way of going about matters...

By the way, I am a bit against deletion of posts... Of course, the forum allows members to delete if they like, so whatever, I am not going on any kind of campaign in that direction - even though I may get a few "digs in" here and there and from time to time.  Recall the "funzies" campaign that caused a large number of post deletions in order to delay the WO page count from going over $10k.. .sure it was funzies, but I don't agree with that damage to WO history - even though it was user generated... I consider that the "funzies" removed value rather than adding value.. even though it was "funzies" for quite a few members at that time in the short term.

...

The time has come for me to thank all of you here at W.O.  

I had, of course, HEDL a small position in BTC before arriving here years ago.  But, I would not have bought as much (small as it is, relatively speaking) without the encouragement of everyone here.  I found many interesting links that educated me greatly, and have been amused by those having a fine sense of humor.  

I am not going to even try to name anyone here, as you are legion, and I would forget many many names.  But, collectively you have all helped me and my family attain moar financial security as I built up my stake, selling some along the away (prudence).

So, have a great Thanksgiving (fellow Americans), and all the rest please receive my gratitude for enthusiasm and knowledge about the great innovation of Bitcoin!

Yes, from a financial perspective, you can be overinvested in $, € or whatever kind of asset. It's all just about balancing/hedging a portfolio. YMMV.

It is sound thinking!  You avoid some deleterious illusions.

Most people think of buying Bitcoin as an “investment”, and selling Bitcoin as “cashing out” into what is not perceived as an investment.

Whereas I never perceived Bitcoin as an “investment”.  (I would be richer if I did.)  It’s just my savings.  I used to keep my savings primarily in paper cash; now, I keep my savings primarily in Bitcoin.  *shrug*

As you suggest, the investment mindset is likely the more profitable one - even though I doubt that there might not be some overlap whether we are talking about a venn diagram or some kind of gradiated scale (spectrum).

With Bitcoin, due to its extraordinarie appreciation over time, it is somewhat easy to become "overinvested"... even if that was intended or not.

I am probably "overinvested" in Bitcoin currently... but YOLO. Again, YMMV.

* nullius is jealous:  I wish that I were “overinvested” in Bitcoin!  :'-(''''''

You probably are "overinvested in BTC".. especially if you really do not attempt (or is it refuse?) to balance out your BTC versus fiat in a meaningful way... you are just not recognizing the overinvested status of ur lil selfie..    

I observe some decent walls at $19500 and above on stamp. Call the badger, he has some work to do!

Walls are reverse indicators..

doesn't know nuttin

It's all good.

The time everyday goods prices will truly be BTC-nominated, is the time a cup of coffee will cost one (1) sat.

HoDL.

Interesting prediction.

Remember with any prediction (or is it price movement) we have elements of quantity (how much the price moves) and time... so even though you did not quite specify the time within your prediction, there is a bit of a time element in terms of describing what has to be achieved in order to have reached the "everything priced in bitcoin" status.

Some of us, also, may recall that we did get above page parity in December 2017, and I believe that it was NOT even a whole day.. it may have been only a few hours.. and the page count at the time was in the lower $19k's as I recall.  It may even be reflected in thread history... even though the WO page numbering is likely screwed up... thanks a lot bbbbbbaaaaaaaawwwwwbbbb...  

wasnt that when people were deleting posts like mad to keep the numbers in sync? pretty crazy day as i recall.

[JayJuanGee]

Any forecast as to what to expect if the ATH is broken? . continue as normal, big spike, dump??

Since we seem to be coiling here, that might cause a bit of a BIGGER push beyond the previous ATH... so maybe 5-12% would be reasonable - yet it is still hard to know if such breakthrough would be sustained - unless you happen to be a sorcerer.. which such a thing is possible, in theory.

How well Prepared is Bitcoin against a CME? Asking for a "Friend"




Bitcoin Readyness for a CME ?

Maybe the better question would be how ready CME or any of those other financial betters are ready for BTC... and hopefully they have not screwed up too much in terms of betting on down or sideways and then fractional reserved themselves into needing a bailout... and bitcoin does not have bailouts, but they may have some buddies in dee govt that might be willing to bail dem out.. perhaps?  Perhaps?

CME ain't shit compared to Bitcoin.

Lol, a CME can fry us all to crisps if it is strong enough

CME Meaning : Coronal Mass Ejection

Fuck you, with your moving the goalposts.. ... you disingenuous twat.

i have sells stacked at 19667 and 20001 just for the lulz

That sounds like harmless funzies.        It is the kind of thing that seems to materially (and perhaps psychologically too as you seem to imply) demonstrate an achievement of a level of "fuck you" status.  I would do it too, but I have my own little system.. and I hate to dabble around, even though it does seem fun just to have some tangible orders at something like those levels... maybe the level might be different for different peeps.. but still not a bad idea-er.

This is really getting out of hand.

The sig campaign I'm currently in won't make me rich, even at Legendary rank, so I don't really care about Merits for the money. I guess they're rather some kind of a confirmation that shows you're "not one of the spammers". Which is nice.

Thanks for your support anyway, you're making me blush like a little girl dammit! Let's get this thread back on-topic asap!

Oh not sure I told you before, nullius, that confirming my "quotability" twice in less than 4 days [1] [2], has made me feel sexy for the first time in a very long time. #probablyhomoafterall

Define "crushed."

I knew this word would get me into trouble with you, before I even hit the Post button.

The non-truth: a million trillion.

The truth: "broken" by $0.01 is enough.

Actually, just thinking of a nice glass at perfect temperature (yes I know some fools absolutely claim it's better at room temp but not me).....

Fuck crushed and even fuck broken. I'm opening that darn bottle right now.

No.  You are mixing up two different situations.


The mass deletion of posts was happening within the crossing of 10k WO pages...

I believe that there might have been a mini-effort to delete posts in December 2017 - but it did not really gain traction like the BIGGER funzie deletion period of crossing 10k WO pages.  I attempted to elaborate further in my response to sirazimuth, here.

Define "crushed."

Why did you do it, then, you purposefully vague-ass fuck, #nohomo.

You must have been trolling me, specifically.... I got your number.

   

I'm opening that darn bottle right now.

That's the spirit, f1980!!!!!!

By a lot of metrics, we have already largely breached ATH... so why get caught up in details, when some fine wine can be drunk.      I might need to treat my lil selfie, too in a kind of symbolic way... even though I have been trying to spend more money, generally speaking recently.. just for funzies.. and to attempt to live it up a wee bit more.. gotta get rid of some of this extra money... surely cannot take it with me, and who knows when the wished I could "take it with me" might end up playing out.
