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

[BitcoinBunny]

I thought this would happen after old Joe took office. Hardly surprising.

One of the first things Biden did yesterday was freeze ongoing FinCEN regulation, which includes the self-hosted wallet legislation that was being pushed through by Steve Mnuchin. But since Mnuchin is a Republican everything he does is good and everything Biden does is bad, right?

People hating on Biden over bitcoin are dumb.

Their one dimensional outlook on politics is long outdated, but they continue to cling to it out of a combination of fear and ignorance.

Can't you at least wait until Biden says something like this before jumping to these types of conclusions?

Not at all, it was a meme, as in a joke.

Along with another poster in the thread here we agreed there would probably be a downturn after Biden took office.
I think the excitement of him taking office probably partially boosted interest in investments / stocks, indeed also in Bitcoin over the last few months.
People are just taking (what they think is) profit at the moment. Whether that was due to a comforting factor of a return to less hectic politics (but still very much Wall Street supporting approaches) who knows.

I totally don't agree with some of Biden's policies but Trump indeed was hardly a saint and I reckon he simply didn't behave presidential enough in a year when it was needed most. It cost him.
He took the bait from the main stream media far too often too. The fact he was an outsider was a strength initially but also a weakness especially this last year.

His presence as president did highlight how ridiculous hypocritical both sides of the political divide are in the USA. People such as Loeffler stating there is definitely election fraud, the capitol hill thing happens, "oh because of that I am not going to contest the election." That makes zero sense. No integrity. If they did not believe there was election fraud they should never have gone along with Trump and gotten people so worked up / angry. They are all to blame for the carry on in that respect. People such as Schumer comparing the Capitol Hill thing with Pearl Harbour or 9/11 are shameful too. Regardless, I am not going to concern myself too much with these people going forwards. What is the point.

I think we may drop a bit more.
I'm not too worried.

I think we have seen the bottom of the day which was at $29781 on Binance Exchange. The price is moving up a bit. MA9 is crossing over MA21 which is good sign

Oh no we're poor again!  

So is this it? The great down before up?

I am hesitating to fire my last few quid off the bank account to the broker.
But then i'd be stepping into over-investment territories.


guts say: do it, now!
mind says: don't overinvest.
so what to do now?

#fallingknifehaiku

Of course, a continuous dilema that happens with a large number of us, and sometimes if the crash is hard enough and deep enough, what to do may well become more clear, even if any of us might end up buying far short of the actual bottom that ends up happening.

Twatter FUD or real?

Spoiler:

A major bitcoin insolvency event is coming. There's just no way the custodial reserve is whole. Take control of your own keys asap.

rats

so i should start practicing my little girl scream?

That is a question for our resident "little girl scream" expert, aka our beloved Searing.  #nohomo  

 

[JayJuanGee]

My best guess is that we correct 'sideways' with $26k as the bottom end (not immediately but a few bumps away). An excellent period to accumulate more  

Bitcoin no doesn't work like dat.

You don't get BIG ASS price moves and then all of a sudden sideways, but sure at some point there may well be a bit of an up and down price battle and then a bit of a going kind of sideways from there.. but sideways from here is quite unlikely to just happen after dumping so much in the past day or so.

THIS IS FINE! (at least so far)

and if we broke through the bottom at the end of the triangle, than we are fucked or more "buy the fucking dip"-again ...

Seems that the 24 hours are critical, to the moon or definetly death

This is sooo.... binary  
WO became a lil bearish, it seems?

You cannot judge the whole of the wall observer by a mere few straggly parts.

Can ya?

Florida man goes home after four tumultuous years in public office.

Well, yeah.... "self-defined Florida man," who seems to be a wee bit fraidie to go to NY... for some strange reason?

Might end up in dee jail... no?

Poor widdley thing-i-lie.

  JJG, are you becoming a conspiracy theorist?
Anyone over 70 years of age with limited sense and means (limited or otherwise) would chose West Palm Beach over NYC without batting an eye; especially in the winter.
There's no state income tax in Florida; New York has the highest in the country.

Sure, you can spin the matter all that you like.  No problema.. we are each entitled to our own considerations regarding motives of people whether we are referring to orange-headed man or some other politician.

You really believe that orange haired man is not a bit worried about some of the intensity of the charges against him, even if it may well be quite politically difficult to lock the "deserve to be locked up fucktwat" up.

Call me a conspiracist all that you like, and sure I don't tend to get into the weeds of too many political discussions, but I have been consistent over the years in terms of of making sure to point out the ongoing and likely even worsening vacuous self-dealing deluded character and practices of orange-headed man.  So I doubt that there has been much of any change from me over the years, just further evidentiary examples along the way, but he should have been pretty well known as a con-man since the beginning of his 2016 campaign (if not in some of his earlier involvement in political runs, too).

[JayJuanGee]

let's call the bottom at $30k. are you all agreeing with me, Girls?

BRING THE PAIN !

THE BOTTOM IS IN WHEN I STOP BUYING !

EDIT: Orders in place down to $29k. Gotta wait 'till tomorrow to move more powder over if we keep dropping.
EDIT2: Oof. Just got filled @ $30.5k.

Yeahh.. when you start whining like a little girl, then likely we are going to be pretty damned close to the bottom...  Are you preparing to whine at about $26k and then your voice will get progressively higher in such a way that we start to wonder if you might gonna rage quit.. even though historically you seem to have mostly just gone off and pouted for a while..


Surely a pattern, and nice that you have some self-acknowledgement in that direction.

Well the coffee is working... everyone knows what that means right?

Usually when I drink coffee... I get the big dumps not long after 

[ghandi]

I still want to see 25k USD before going back to normal

[machasm]

Time to go up boys.

I still want to see 25k USD before going back to normal

ATH would be better

The great dump is coming?

Shut up, thanus

Honey badger don't care what you want. Or me. Or anybody else  
no offense, but i'll tell you something: I was waking up to total "buy me" price levels but got caught up in family business.
Would i wait for $30.5k now? No, i won't. It makes little sense to wait for $25k at that time, imo.

The great dump is coming?

Shut up, thanus 

Hm, there is a rhyme on my mind right now:

Thanus
The ....

Go figure
