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

[damiano]

USD swaps on bitfinex going up again.

doesnt matter - short squeeze coming soon.

My screenshot  @ 11am had the rate at .030000%' now it's .080000%

probably last time we will see sub-230 ... ever.

looks like retrace is over and a slow climb back to 280-300

Remember kids...the cultists are clueless.

BTER was a known altcoin exchange.

It also traded BTC/CNY, but its volume was very small (~200 BTC/day, or 1/1000 of Huobi and OKCoin...)

It's interesting that the BTER hackers grabbed the BTC but left the altcoins alone. Hmmn..

There have been issues with Huobi lately.  They claim a DDoS attack.  I wouldn't be surprised if it eventually surfaces they were in fact hacked.

Also, OKCoin's CTO recently left, or was given the boot.  See below.

Includes some interesting discussion about OKcoin.  Apparently, CTO Changpeng Zhao has left?

Tough times for Chinese exchanges, and probably more bad news to come.

Meh if you keep coins on some shitty exchange you don't deserve those coins

[MelodyRowell]

People seriously just need to trust Bitcoin and stop going for these short term strategies, if you are trading coins remove them after you have traded. These exchanges are not trustless.

Looks like this one was the smartest. The rest are just greedy imbeciles that don't know shit about pumping and dumping.

I think the chinese exchange owners are probably stealing and selling their customers coins due to the upcoming FINAL CHINESE BAN!

I agree, bitcoin is lookin unbelievably strong today again. The price really looks sustainable..

[silverfuture]

The time to start being optimistic in order to manage expectations would be >400$ and even after that I think it will be months before the real rocket train pics start to appear.  

Until then, just buy (with money you can burn without being hurt) and hold in cold storage.

I don't buy this Bter hacked shit. It's clearly an inside job.

Remember, bagholders...

"In the coming months, the USMS is expected to sell 94,336 BTC, worth $17.5m at press time, as it liquidates the remainder of the bitcoins previously held by Ulbricht, who only yesterday admitted to founding Silk Road as an “economic experiment”.

They are just a way to get  bitcoins from people who are looking to go back in time to be an early adopter for the next coin (which won't materialize).
