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

[Gachapin]

Sorry, no. What I wrote was absolutely correct:
I said 55% go in the community fund and into the staking system. (so 10% for the community found and 45% for the masternodes)

45% of new coins produced are staking rewards to do with whatever the masternodes please, they don't go "into the staking system." You don't get more rewards for having over 1,000 DASH as masternode collateral. The constant sell pressure of masternode rewards is actually what is regularly blamed by the Dash community for dragging the price down.

We can twist words but still 45% of new coins went to the masternodes and 10% to the community fund. (btw wasn't the fund also controlled by votes of the masternodes or so? Lost my memory)

1,000 Dash per node, yes. But there is the possibility that a single staker splits his coins to several 1000Dash nodes to increase his staking reward. no?

You say: "the instamine seemed like an honest mistake"...

Haha.. yes...  the kind of "mistake" that accidentally enriched Evan and his friends.  They even launched the mining while leading other miners to believe that the start would be much later, so that they wouldn't join.

This and the "bug" then allowed them to mine 2M coins within 1 day for themselves.  
If they were so honest as you assert, why didn't they restart the project / burned the coins, or else?   No, they instead lowered the max coin supply, so that their "honest mistake" would have an even bigger impact, and their (2M coins) would gain an even bigger share of the total supply.

That's obvious scammy self-enrichment (even if we naively assumed that the bug was real).
Actually, I wonder how people could even defend such a sham..

There were 100s of altcoins being launched back then, some of them absolutely did have premines and whatever other mechanisms to enrich their devs. Almost none of them are around anymore. Why do you think they're gone and Dash is still here?

A scam doesn't get better because it lasts longer than others.

And if we went by the standard of what shitcoin outlived others, cRipple must be even better than Dashit, no?  It's #6 in CMC today, and it's even older...

Again, nobody cared about the instamine until after the coin was already successful. If it was just another run-of-the-mill shitcoin it would have failed long ago. I wonder how people could still carry a grudge about something that happened over 9 years ago.

Of course nobody cares about a scam, when there is little to no money involved.  But that's no argument for it not being a scam.

Also the fact that nobody knew if Dash would succeed doesn't make it less shady.

I don't carry any grudge.
I'm simply critical towards narratives defending obvious rip-offs...  And believe me, I made some good money off scammy airdrops and forks

got me a cool email:

"Hello
I know your password!

--snip--

And I MADE A VIDEO SHOWING BOTH YOU (through your webcam) AND THE VIDEO YOU WERE WATCHING (on the screen) WHILE SATISFYING YOURSELF!

I can send this video to all your contacts (email, social network) and publish all your private stuff everywhere!

You can prevent me from doing this!
To stop me, transfer exactly: 400$ with the current bitcoin (BTC) price to my bitcoin address.

If you don't know how to get bitcoin, Google - "How to buy Bitcoin", it's very simple for example with credit card. The wallet you can create here: https://www.blockchain.com

My bitcoin address is: ------SCAMMERblahGrMSR1ktL4Tkow4s------ (disabled it)

I've been getting a lot of the same for years already.
I do have a cam on my monitor, but it's one of those with hardware protection (a lid). I chose it like this on purpose.
Even if it didn't have a physical cover, I'd laugh in their face.
Scum.

I have gotten these for say 10 years.

I looked up the BTC address he/she or it gave me and it has seven $400 dollar deposits. So amazingly he got seven people to pay him.

 Usually when I get these and bother to check the given address it is a dead unused address.
I found it unusual that the address got payments.

There a hypothesis that the scammers themselves send some self payments to make it look legit.

Something tells me that the aliens would probably be more interested in crypto than fiat…

What if Bitcoin was the advancement they were waiting for us to make?

Or maybe they just want to steal our cows.

Beef it is what's for dinner!

Wow - A kind of shitcoiner fantasy, no?

Breaking News!

 An authoritative source has informed me that the dust has finally settled on the defunct QuadrigaCX exchange and former customers are getting ~13% of their money/coins deposited back based on the values when the exchange went bust.

Edit: cheques are currently being delivered.

I don't see any link so it must not be true.

This lazy cat bot does not do google self-searching

 Well, since I see that HI-TEC99 has posted some actual proof, there's no need for me to divulge my authoritative source.

got me a cool email:

"Hello

I know your password!

I infected you with a malware (RAT)/(Remote Administration Tool), some time ago and since then, I have been observing your actions. The malware gave me full access and control over your system, meaning, I can see everything on your screen, turn on your camera or microphone and you won't even notice about it, yes such things exist, you can Google it!
I have also access to all your contacts, I collected everything private from you, pictures, videos, everything!

And I MADE A VIDEO SHOWING BOTH YOU (through your webcam) AND THE VIDEO YOU WERE WATCHING (on the screen) WHILE SATISFYING YOURSELF!

I can send this video to all your contacts (email, social network) and publish all your private stuff everywhere!

Copy and paste my address - it's (CASE-sensitive).

You know this all isn't a joke, you got the proof above!
I think it's a very good price compared to the damage and hell it can bring into your life!

After receiving the payment, I will delete everything from you and you can life your live in peace like before. I give you 3 days to get the bitcoins!
Don't share this email with anyone, this should stay our little secret!"




Makes me laugh as I would not care if someone posted a video.

Also I do not have a camera on my monitor for this exact reason.

Every time i see this type of email, it reminds me of a good client of mine, one of my very first customer when i started my business...

I rocked up to his workshop, and the first thing he says to me:

"Mate, There is a fucking hidden camera in my toilet"!

I was worried but curious at the same time, I said, "Steve, WTF are you taking about? Are you sure? Where is it? Have you found it?"

He goes, and I'll never forget this...

"Mate, I am 100% sure there is a hidden camera in the toilet or bathroom, I am getting all these emails about "Penis Enlargements"... Tell me, how the fuck do they know i got a SMALL COCK!!?"

Pissed my self laughing!!!!

Feds, bankers and SEC trying everything to stop the Bitcoin bull market. First they hammered the banks that operated with the exchanges. Then the feds started selling in portions their bitcoins with the sole purpose of creating FUD and artificial sell pressure on the markets. Finally they hammered the two biggest exchanges. Bitcoin CEO, however, had other plans

You should not be surprised. The Bitcoin users (Us) should remain anonymous. But, we are the people who give the chance to Binance for doing shit. People Compromise their Privacy to them just to use their service while they are not a real P2P Platform. They have become a giant and can control the Bitcoin market if they want. If the 1K Bitcoin Movement can affect the market and it goes down by more than 10%, How much Market will it go down if Binance sells its Half Million Bitcoin? Not your keys, not your coins. Binance users won't be able to do shit if they become bankrupt. Binance becomes a Giant, and they can control the market if they want.

Look at the comparison of Bitcoin Volume of the last 24 Hours.



99% Trading volumes on the Centralized market. We are the people who gave them this power. You cannot deny that Binance news even matters!

many pushed Binance to where they are today

but not everyone uses Binance.  

with all their shitcoin p&d schemes they were shady from the get-go

I Just Noticed you changed your post. It was like you and some others maybe.. not everyone uses Binance
If you think it's me and some others, who can trade 22% of the Total Trading volume on Binance, then it's me and some others.
These are ridiculous stats. Bitcoin 24 Hours trading volume on CEX was $24,274,100,680. While only Binance users traded $5,299,047,621. 22% Of total trading volume. However, I did not count tons of small trading pairs.

Binance Still holds half a million Bitcoin. If something happens with Binance like FTX, be ready for a massive crash.
Eventually, BTC will recover. But people who lose their funds are unlikely to recover their losses.

Data Collected from;
https://www.coingecko.com/en/exchanges/binance
https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitcoin/

All we can do is ask people not to rely on centralized exchanges.
People will still do it and ignore every warning you give them.

Honestly, I think that someone that naïve can't be protected. Even if every inch of the page had been full of warnings, he still might've fallen for it,

Two Months ago, I wrote an post about centralized exchanges TOS.
You may find it interesting; Do you know what is hiding behind Centralized exchanges User Agreement?

A mirror image, so that's UP, right?
Nevermind...red candles, but then it is an impossibru pic.

EDIT: btw, the fact that i would need to order prescription inserts makes me less enthusiastic about the whole 'thing'.
What if i have multiple people with glasses in my household? Keep changing the inserts? Ridiculous.
