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

It's today up and down party

After slighly waking up... we are headed north for the end of the day.

Not a strong buy, but just a buy rating from me.

Pretty close to just a hold rating.

Futures looking slightly bearish atm @ Okcoin. No biggie

Should have added some sell, strong sell, and "buy clams!!!" While you were at it, sheesh.

*edit - that was rude, I'm sorry, but if you're gonna throw around vague descriptions like "buy" vs "strong buy" then you start to remind me of that dude that yells all the time on T.V.

Also, since I'm calling someone out for making vague predictions, I would be a hypocritical asshole if I didn't place my own bets, so here they are...

Below 245 before the end of the week, and above 300 by the end of February. (And over 400 by may 6)

Yeah,i know, kinda .weak, but still better than "Not a strong buy, but just a buy rating"

Nothing against you personally, bay area coins, but wishy washy shit is not appreciated around these parts.

Ah thanks for covering those bases for me

Also, you shouldn't buy clams... you should get your free ones.

Buying alt currencies can end in tears very easily and best for most folks to avoid it and take the free/mining route.

Explanation

[Blazin604]

If we take a step back and look at this objectively, it's all about the incentives.

The incentives for securing the Blockchain will be cut in half (again) sometime in 2016.

The incentives for bitcoin holders is to see the project succeed and to watch the price rise. Perhaps to become a globally accepted currency? But in the end, the incentive is to sell your coins later at some price higher than you bought them for.

The incentives for the incumbent fiat banking system is to squash this puny idea like an annoying gnat.
And the incentives for governments is to gain and hold power and get paid.

The existing system works best for those who currently hold the power.


Imagine for a second that some puny, insignificant group wanted to fork the Blockchain to allow for some arbitrary redistribution of bitcoins? Now imagine what bitcoin means to the ones that currently control the supply of money...

The odds are not in favour of bitcoin in the grand scheme of things. That is why it must succeed.

*this turned out to be a rambling, barely coherent, collection of half-baked thoughts, but I figured I'd post it anyways, so maybe I can look back at it when I sober up.

Thank you for that brother. Light up a fat j for me

Bitstamp looks like a graveyard.

R.I.P.

Also, you shouldn't buy clams... you should get your free ones.

Ok, you got me at "free" sorry for all that other crap.

How do I collect these "free" tokens and where can I exchange them for bitcoin?

No detailed description necessary, just a link to instructions is fine.

Lol, just got back from blazing on the patio, best of luck getting that alt coin going, listing on poloniex would be an easy double I think.

Then read the FAQ.

Just-dice used to have over 60,000 BTC invested, but with all the heat coming down on Bitcoin Dooglus shut it down and gave everyone their shit back.

After like... half a year of being shut down (don't quote me on that.)  He reopened with CLAM because it had a very low market cap, everyone who owned BTC, LTC or DOGE already owns clams and a handful of other reason.

Just be sure you empty the address before you dig your 4.6 CLAMS off them and then never use that address again (treat it as compromised.)

Each empty address is worth like... 0.025 BTC.

I'm looking to buy as well, so please feel free to inbox me.

Sounds pretty boring tbh.

edit: NASA JPL builds satelites, etc. So guess bitcoin will be in space..

[Bernard Lerring]

Could this be some kind of promotional probe they're going to send to the moon with a BTC logo? Is that financially viable these days? That'd be a let down. If it's just some promotional bullshit with no effect on the interoperability of Bitcoin here on Earth I'll not be impressed.

Actually looks quite interesting. I was a big fan of seals with clubs until I lost everything (I suck at poker even worse than I suck at bitcoin speculation   )

Bitcoin going into space ?

So are you telling me that there's a chance of seeing Alien Bulltards adopting it ?

they could be putting an operational server on the moon, moon coinbase. Anyone choosing to use that server would not be bound by overly burdensome bureaucratic jurisdictional concerns surrounding the broken modern fiat system, KYC/AML etc.
