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

[freethink2013]

can the doge people please stay off this thread?

Why - you got BTC news?  It's tumbleweed town here.

I am a BTC hodler, just it's Christmas and really rather boring.   It's hardly serious taking the piss out of alts...

Freethinking not allowed?

Really? There's a huge amount of forums and threads on every subject but me asking that posts in a thread about btc prices should be somewhat related to btc prices is anti-freethinking?

If I wanted to chat about the Wiemar republic I wouldn't use this thread. I'd start my own or post in an existing thread. Posting off topic isn't freethinking, it's lazy (and somewhat cowardly imho.) Is your point that if there isn't huge activity in the bitcoin market then we should use this thread as off topic chit chat?

Not sure you've thought this through tbh.

785 btw.

OK - I ain't gonna fight - but Adam just posted a pic of a girl's rear with a Bitcoin tattoo - wasn't exactly TA was it...

Funny, but arguably a tad frivolous (and I didn't mind).

This thread is for serious junkies who watch it because it is the most active - when it's not, it's relatively dull.

C'mon - even Walsoraj made a joke about Doge coin!

I will quit - if you post something interesting and perceptive about Bitcoin - deal?  

Over to you for the next 5 minutes

Let's just move on. I already said I over-reacted. See above. I lolled at Walsoraj's joke.

Well I panic bought on MTGox. Still got fiat left in case bad things happen close to Jan 31. Good luck everyone.

I have been tempted - I sold half a dozen before last weekend - bought 1 back, then just sold as it went up in the 800s again.

I am becoming happier to have a little fiat (am 90/10 - BTC /fiat).

It's so 'undecided' and with no big fish in - it just feels odd.

Come next week, the market will have to decide - Wall Street cash will make our minds up for us, ultimately if they're in, they will want to make it work and in 2014, they will be.

Digital Currency, per se, is here to stay.  Money men have to have an opinion and a position in all assets that affect world currency markets, or that allow hedging positions against movements.

It makes sense - but we are in the calm before the storm.

It's like that bit in the cowboy film, where one of the guys says 'you know what, something's eatin' me, it's just too quiet'

No worries - have a great new year - I think we will all have an interesting one and in that I am referring to Bitcoin only.

You too. I'd just like to apologize and state that I wasn't even really annoyed to begin with. It was more like an excuse to have a rant than something that annoyed me. I tend to follow this thread in the evenings along with a bottle of wine and mainly for entertainment purposes. And I quite like a heated debate.

I've upset a couple of people on here (not you) and that's never been my intention. I do love an argument but sometimes the fact that it's good natured doesn't quite translate. Anyho enough of my self-obsession lol

I am always philosophical - take a look at the last few weeks.  Every time I wonder what's going to happen, I find looking at the 12 hour chart helps.

This is what five or or six weeks of our screen-watching hurrahs and frustrations on a graph:



It's a roller coaster - and what a year.

But right now we are on a down-trend - until big players decide differently.

My money is on (very positive) fireworks next year, but when?   Anyone's guess

Nooooooo, where the hell are you all going!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please stay
This thread is making me happy and sad at the same time.

I will be buying my first real coins next week and would like to see what else you have to say

what are you talking about? no-one is leaving?

What are you thinking about for bids? For me, you'll be lucky if 650 gets filled then as we head towards 900 you'll have more and more chances of buying.

Ah a new victim!   If you buy in, you will waste hours on this forum looking for solace and people who tell you something you want to hear.

Then a year later - you will do the maths on the hours you have spent watching and wondering and possibly work out if it paid you enough for your time.

Best advice to make that equation a positive one is this:

1. Buy
2. Store in a cold wallet
3. Carry on with living your life and forget about it for a year.


Seriously!

what would I do if I wanted to buy huge amount of Bitcoin:

buy few hundred bitcoins, excute a market order sell to push the price a bit down, now sure the ask is still above you, so what you need to do is make your bot sell 0.01 Bitcoin constantly to give the impression that price is low and to trick other bots, low sell orders will start building, keep doing all above until the sell orders meet your expectations and than execute a buy market order.

what would I do if I wanted to sell huge amount of Bitcoin:

I would buy few hundred Bitcoins first to give an impression of price going up, than excute one sell market order and right after it a buy sell order of 0.01 to trick people/bots about the last price and repeat

and this is what was happening the last couple of days both when buying and selling....


go here and watch the last trades on the right, this is what is happening, now we are at the selling phase, before we were at the buying phase.

good idea but if I'm honest the biggest utility I've got from bitcoin  is watching charts and chatting on here. I lost thousands of dollars with the drop from four figures back down to three but it was so fucking entertaining!

Always loved the song, but like a stupid idiot, never quite followed the most excellent advice.

I can't resist checking in here, updating my spreadsheets and wondering if rpietila is a sage or a nutter... (or both)
