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

[Fatman3001]

just done something really stupid  

Got an email from support@localbitcoin.com saying my account had been flagged for fraudulent activity.

checked my account and nothing, opened up electru grabbed an address and then send my funds to the wallet. incoming transaction.

check the support desk no ticket. check back at email and obviously the link contains a hidden phishing address, phew close call but all is safe.

Go to electrum to send my funds back over to LBTC, need them to have online adverts active, upon entering the password all i get is invalid.

Turns out i sent them to a wallet that was generated on the 6th of December on my run around laptop and i don't appear to know the password at the moment   tried several combinations but nope..... must have been feeling smart that day and NO i did not right down the seed as i was actually generating the wallet whilst giving my friend a step by step run down on how to setup electrum, why i didn't follow my own instructions of remembering password and keeping a copy of the seed safe i will probably never live down  


who's the local brute force expert?

went for some dinner drank some beer came home, still clueless.

is this the wrong subsection or something but not even noobs want to help

I see you are working hard to solve the problem. My brother is like that. He buys the same gear as I have so he won't have to read the manual.

Isn't that old news ?

I didn't post it because of news I just found it interesting. Those two are more and more in media lately there should be some news about Gemini and ETF soon

Looks like the article was written today. I haven't read this particular interview yet, thanks for posting.

"Artificial commodity and artificial scarcity" was an interesting  phrasing.

A regular libertarian charmer, this one.

"We take more of a five to 10 year view, so we're just not focused on the near-term price movements, day-to-day, or hour-to-hour, or week-to-week."

LMFAO at these bagholders!

In the next article, aka post tanking to sub $200 you will see them talking about 30-40 year views. GTFO with these 2 pathetic scum leeches.

[Wekkel]

Always talking down people that try to create some value. Very mature.

Tonight I have met a Danish guy who explained me in Denmark everybody uses MobilePay which is basically like Bitcoin but easier to use. We are doomed.

Bitcoin still cuts it in countries with third world banking systems like Sudan and the USA. For someone from the EU, US banking is a creaking disgrace.

[calme]

Well, if it does go to zero, I'm buying everything.

.... It is an app from one (1) danish bank that is connected to your credit card. I think we're safe.

Me too, so I guess it won't.

The exact words that came to mind when i saw the TV ad for applepay were "ooohhhh fuck this'll kill bitcoin for sure" ... sorry folks but people in the billions will flock to that type of service as will all of the merchants ... it's just easier to use a phone based prepaid account using the phone you already have and the currency you already have than to bother fucking with all the ridiculous by comparison hassles of buying/storing/spending bitcoin ...

Professors stake out territory for bitcoin

If all goes according to plan, the course will launch nine hot start-ups, ready to take advantage of venture capital enthusiasm for the much-hyped virtual currency — and all without any cross words or legal fights.

Think of it as a “semester-long business hackathon”, Prof Harvey says, “and think of me as the VC professor. The lone requirement of the course is to propose a venture that is related somehow to the bitcoin blockchain.”

Chug Chug down the track on the way to the launchpad it goes and all some can think about is short term price movement.

Apple pay kill bitcoin? LOL!

I'm sorry if it's complicated for you. Just to add another layer of complication: not everyone owns an Iphone. And its competitor PayPal is offering the option of filling up with Bitcoin.

The overwhelming majority of the world can't afford Apple or thinks those who advocate their products are nincompoops. It's a bit of fraying tinsel on a system that is not engaging with the world at large.

Except if they eventually let you fill up with Bitcoin. Then it is the greatest thing ever.
