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

In the 27th and 30th August 2013 Markus bought a lot of BTC, further faking the bull market (total net BTC bought by Markus = 297628). From the Willy report:

In this table, the first two trades (buy/sell pairs) are by some regular user with ID 238168. In the second trade, this user buys 0.398 BTC for $15.13. The next trade is some large market buy by Markus (ID 698630): note how the “$15.13″ value from the previous trade seems to “stick”; regardless of the volume of BTC bought, the value paid is always $15.13. This is speculation, but perhaps for Markus, the “Money” spent field is in fact empty, and the program that generates the trading logs simply takes whatever value was already there before. In other words, Markus is somehow buying tons of BTC without spending a dime.

Mt Gox closed over a year ago and was irrelevent to price discovery long before that.
 
What next? Blaming the guy who exchanged a pizza ten thousand btc? He should have charged more, he falsely overpriced bitcoin for the rest of eternity!!?


PS. what proof do you have other than a 'blog' that the Mt Gox 'bot' wasn't legitimate? There is a country called China that existed during the last bubble you might want to look it up.

Some say that the pizza didn't even taste that great, so definately some manipulation going on... Let's call it the overpriced pizza-bot.

All we know is, he's called the stig a troll.

For humor value, sorry for the off-topic:
LEOcoin mining page:

Due to an unfortunate fork in the leocoin blockchain (which we are still investigating), the pool experienced a downtime. Everything has been restored to normal, we even took the opportunity to upgrade our pool.

I hope bitcoin will continue to trend upwards, but for now, i think it may be done going up. Hopefully we will see another leg up soon.

We always want to see some leg but just chill it will go when it is good and ready to, you should not force your self/opinion on it just live in the moment we will never be done going up unless you quit and miss it.

thank you for pointing out how bitcoin is better investment, no wonder that bitcoin price rises today

Just closed my long that I opened at 239.  These no volume spikes worry me a bit.  Short still open and going to add a bit more around 270-275 if it gets there.  Not sure what's going on but I have the same feeling I had when we broke 300 a few weeks ago which turned out in my favor.

Good luck all. (Each to their own)

Whoa!  Almost as bad as that time they had to shut down Bitcoin & reverse some irreversible transactions.  https://bitcoinmagazine.com/3668/bitcoin-network-shaken-by-blockchain-fork/
Guess some of Bitcoin's dicey spaghetti code made it into LEOCoin

Hax0rd by Bitcoiners.

LEOcon LEOcoin is obviously, how should we say, an investment that, as implied by the previous achievements of the principals, may see rather radical price volatility in some not-to-distant future, followed by an unbounded period of absolute stability.

As I've pointed out before, no one gave a flip about Bitcoin either.  Until they did.  And then didn't again.
LEOCoiners have no beef with you Bitcoiners, we realize it's hard to let go of a dying tech which once held so much promise.

Happy Easter!

Not sure about that.
Is it better to have a tooth pulled slowly, in fits & starts?  Or right away & all at once?
Serious question.

I did lock some profits in 230 range just to open another position, yes.  

besides, you are talking to a strong and patient hand here. I am not falling into this. Might bring some additional ammo to bitfinex, because obvious trap is obvious.  

Holy shit, trolls coming out full force just because we're back at the $240 range. We were here last month, and there was much less FUDing then. Oh, well, I guess a (sharp? could 8% in one day be considered sharp?) decline to $240 makes them harder (or moistens them up more) than a steady uptrend to $240.
Bears have their days, bulls have their days (funny how the beartrolls are much more vile), I'm just gonna sit on my bitcoins and see what happens.

They're not beartrolls, they're day traders.  They're buying while everyone else is panic selling.  Then they'll pump again and make their 10%.

Wash, rinse, repeat.

I am not buying this shit any time soon.

nice little bull trap.

220 soon?

Sure buddy

 I took that to mean speculation concerning the mechanics of the bot:  the actions themselves are not in question.

that db dump was doing the rounds last year, im sure you can still download a copy of the raw data if you are interested.

Please people stop wasting your time with LEOcoin.

I'll be releasing a new coin shortly called OLÉcoin, wich will be a copy/paste from bitcoin and:


This will reduce branding costs considerably, so I will only have to pre-mine 50% to put in cold storage, thus increasing security considerably. Every stolen coin can be replaced after proving that you have bought a required amount of OLÉ candy bars. It will be devisible in 4 seperate units. It will also be cheaper than LEOcoin and I already have a major contract with Aldi.

Stay tuned.

Until we have the outcome of an official investigation Mt Gox and the mysterious trading bot is idle speculation. A file floating round the net or a 'blog' do not constitute a smoking gun.

If it turns out to be true then the price then there should be criminal prosecutions.

But either way the price has been unsupported by that bot for over a year and is now rising from a protracted bear market without it.

Bears need better FUD. Perhaps it is time for another China ban or another dark net market running with their funds. I am sure you will come up with something. Because with shorts at all time highs you need it in the coming days.
