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

[xhomerx10]

The thing is, traditional watches are functional jewelry. Every digital watch comes off like a modern toy in comparison.
Never saw a digi watch that did fit to an elegant suit, they always look cheap somehow.
But this thing is a monster, purely for attraction (and obscurity?)
Nothing beats a classic Rolex imho, but you need big hands as well to make em look really good.

Agreed. Pocket watches are always the best, but if you need an amazing wristwatch I would recommend a Hamilton 505 Ventura or even the Pacer. Futuristic in 1961, futuristic in 2021 (holy crap, it's been 60 years)

time to look for the keys for those old wallets where you keep those shitforks and airdrop.

Got rid of all that a long time ago. I marvel at the rates people were willing to pay for some of that junk. 4% for Bitcoin Gold? Mmkay then. 3% for BitcoinX (what even was that?). 2% for Bitcoin Diamond (they're not real diamonds y'know).

Mission will fail with trying to convert this Dude right here...  

Yeah... About your girlfriend... We have the technology on Planet Anus, is all I'm saying.

Wait until switcheroo-mode engage.

Actually.... it’s not breathing what I do... it’s just keeping my breath and keeping trigging the trigger every DIP.

What I will do is ... catching some sun in some nice temperatures thx to BTC and maybe a bit cause of other skills, but mainly BTC

One way ticket to planet Anus...  

Please use the correct terminology, one way ticket to planet Rectum it is.

So...whenever Bitcoin goes from a long, multi-year bear market to start of a new bull run, the MSM pounces to immediately say Bitcoin "is in a bubble".

Every. Single. Time.

Any long time OG Bitcoiners notice the pattern?

I guess the only two binary states that Bitcoin can be in is either "dead" or "bubble". Nothing in between.

On top of that, i loved *pple for the quality of their products and stable operating systems.
This changed 2015-ish a lot, after which i decided to move back to windoze again. didn't regret it, apart from some delicate pieces of VST(i) plugins, of which no windows ports were available. The fact that ableton live runs on both system made the decision easier as well (originally came from cubase on x86).

I never loved Apple because of the walled garden attitude, long before they became a fashion brand. The stability of the OS is greatly helped by their all in-house hardware. Windoze, while being far from perfect, works whatever you throw at it. And they really care for backwards compatibility. This I really like. Apple's approach to backwards compatibility is "Well dear, you're still using THAT? It's from 2020, you penniless bum!"

BTW, which VST(i)s have you found hard to replace? I felt a similar pain when they bought out CamelAudio and gardenwalled Alchemy, which used to be my favorite softsynth.

This 100% is why I will never, ever purchase another Apple IOS product - the 'walled garden' approach.

These devices are seriously limited and that's not a good thing in any way.

Warren Buffett said "Price is what you pay, but value is what you get."

I've had colleagues that were long time Apple iPhone users, but as the price has crept up in the last few years, they started noticing that the actual "value" (return) they were getting was starting to stall out.

When many of them switched over to Pixels or Samsungs, they were surprised to find value parity, and in some areas value superiority in either the hardware or software.

The cult of Apple can be so strong as to convince their diehard users that everything outside the walled garden is complete crap.

Fuck apple, as I type on my 2012 mac mini  (last good model mac mining they made)

At least I never owned an iPhone, just  sammies and moto's

I remember myself back in the 90ies how shocked I was checking out Macs and finding out they only support Apple mice and keyboards which cost like at least x10 PC peripherals. What a f*** greedy corporation!

Before you read it elsewhere.
Fasten your seatbelts guys.

On January 18 Grayscale added 16,244 BTC to their Bitcoin fund!



More than 600,000,000 inflows on a single day.
Highest BTC inflow ever.
Highest USD inflow ever.
More info here, on my GBTC Observer thread.

Any info on others besides GrayScale piling into BTC? I mean what if they decide to 'slack off' and slow down purchases now due to the 'caution' of a pullback

and wait for the pullback to buy again? Is there enough PayPal and other Traditional Investors now in play, to at 'least' keep the price sideways?

Or are we looking at the usual 'Bitcoin you merciless bitch' ..plain old 50% pullback...brief or otherwise?

Thanks, just wondering if the current BTC price is a 1 trick pony with GrayScale hype/FOMO mostly.

Edit: You 'hang around' WO Bitcointalk Thread enough and info will eventually fall from the sky...anyway...link to some of my questions in article below.

I started out with the white polycarbonat macbook, 2007/8 or so. I needed something portable, light, long running and without bottom vents. Only apple delivered.
The rest is history. Until macOS became real shitty, the binding to the appstore became really annoying and more and more VSTi where brought out in 64bit and DAW software too, while some old 32bit plugins became impossible to run. So i found jBridge and continued using windows 10. Apart from that i had a workstation i7 with universal audio dsp cards, running windows7 pro (and later 10), while the macbook was my roadwarrior scratchpad. Later it became a macbook pro (because antiglare display) which partly died and then a newer one. When they brought out that ledstrip macbooks, i knew it was the right decision to ditch apple, which was also confirmed by various issues with them. It was a good experience, but they fucked up. Additionally, Acer brought out a series of laptops with no bottom vents, very macbook-air alike. So i went down the windows route on mobile computing again. Didn't regret it either (yet). Never even thought about an iPhone, ever. But i had a first gen ipod touch for testing apps from a befriended mobile game developer.

To address your question: I don't remember which osx VST(i) i was missing on windows, though.

And yes, *pple forces the customers to upgrade. Windows does too, but not as aggressively and we all know about ios major version updates running intentionally slower on older devices. At this stage i had already turned my back to them. Today they're more like a fashion label. Like Beats (which they bought, afair) headphones. They are fancy, but low quality and uncomparable to most AKG or Beyerdynamic DT models.

They seem to be some brilliant bastards. Everyone is winning. Them, their premium customers, the retailers (at least), the bitcoin market and the hodlers.
It's like an inside game. Why would they stop it as long as it's working?

boo-hoo regarding 'hating on' Apple.
I use it as well as windows, linux, android.

Basically, I could care less, but iOS spies on you a little less than Android or so it seems.
5-6 year old iphone (like 6s) still has a bit of residual value while my more recent Android phone has none (or something so small as to not being worth selling or trading in).

Would be nice to have this channel all the way to 200K.
When is the intercept  ? My guesstimate is around May 10-17 (based on the channel's look).
