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

[Dilla]

Funny you guys have the same gut feeling. I had a dream last night about the price continuously rising to no end, I woke up mid sleep to check the price to see if it was real  we'll see what happens Monday...

i feel something big is coming and mega-pump seems imminent, news are talking bitcoin again http://www.cnbc.com/id/102594745

I share your feeling! I have a bold prediction that something BIG is happening on monday. And I am (semi) ready to take the shitstorm if I'm wrong monday evening. It's a gut feeling based on a small list of facts.
1: President of USA candidate Rand Paul is attending on a bitcoin (or blockchain ha ha) event on sunday. These candidates tend to time their PR campaigns with very good inside information.
2. "Wall Street enters bitcoin" is so f*cking ripe now.
2A: COIN ETF on NASDAQ waiting for two years for approval with a experienced and competent woman running the process ("Spider Woman" Kathleen Moriarty)
2B: GBTC with bidders hanging for weeks
2C: Facetwins (again) having the logistics ready weeks ago for Gemini bitcoin exchange, but waiting for BitLicense.

Hope you're right bro.

[Fatman3001]

We've had fairly good volume on finex for the last three days, while staying within the 220 range. Not much, but I have hope.

Sorry for reposting, but I pre-posted while editing (And I'm drunk.) Here it is:

I have a bold prediction that something BIG is happening on monday. And I am (semi) ready to take the shitstorm if I'm wrong monday evening. It's a gut feeling based on a small list of facts:

1. President of USA candidate Rand Paul is attending on a bitcoin (or blockchain, ha ha) event on sunday. These candidates tend to time their PR campaigns with very good inside information.

2. "Wall Street enters bitcoin" is so f*cking ripe now.

    2A: COIN ETF on NASDAQ waiting for two years for approval with a experienced and competent woman running the process ("Spider Woman" Kathleen Moriarty).

    2B: GBTC with investment bank bidders hanging for weeks.

    2C: Facetwins (again) having the logistics ready months ago for Gemini bitcoin exchange, but waiting for BitLicense.

    2D: NYDFS Expects Final BitLicense 'Very Soon'.

    2E: The evil witch Blythe Masters (her "credit swap" invention kicked a lot of good americans out of their homes and into the trailer park) has joined bitcoin trading platform Digital Assets Holdings LLC as chief executive.

    2F: Headline: "Nasdaq Trading Technology to Power Bitcoin Marketplace Noble" (To drunk to explain in my own words).

    2G: Headline: "SecondMarket's Bitcoin Desk Relaunches as Genesis Trading" (Again, drunk to explain in my own words).

We all know that good news is bad for bitcoin price. But these news are all related to a greedy need for bitcoin (just in case it actually becomes important!) and a real demand you will see on the exchanges.

Long story short: I'm really becomming a Vodka Viking now, and I'm proud of coining the expression "Facetwins"! (Better than "Winklevii" or "Facebook Twins", ha ha.)

SKÅL!

Why is Bitfinex so bearish compared to others?

That. BTC-E is normally $5-10 under finex.

It's been almost $2 between Huobi and Bitfinex for a couple of days. I have been thinking for a while about starting arbitrage trading. I don't believe in TA (Asstrology) and I can't predict the future. Also, it's easy and cheap to move BTC between exchanges (but not other currencies, could be a disadvantage). I have never traded on an exchange before (I just bought my bitcoins from a guy), yet I watch Bitcoinwisdom and am capable of coding my own user interface with the exchanges APIs. I don't want to make a "bot" (even if I actually could, given time and money), but more like a button I can press when two exchanges are in disharmony (One sell, one buy, same amount of BTC).

My question is: Do anybody in this thread have experience with arbitrage trading? Are the margins too small?

There it is. Now, time for "FRIDAY NIGHT VODKA PARTY ALONE IN A TWO ROOM FLAT IN THE SUBURBS OF OSLO"!!! Whoohoooooo!   

Just to add to the question. Would it make sense to use litecoin to transfer money from one exchange to another without using fiat?

Arguably yes, the possibility exists of the funds being accepted and confirmed faster w/ ltc than btc. However on the few occasions I've tried with this, the LTC transfers have been sufficiently delayed for whatever reason close the window on any said opportunity. Likewise not all exchanges accept LTC and offer that arbitrage opportunity. Theoretically it makes a lot of sense and I've heard (as I'm sure we all have) of users successfully rotating through such a system for small profits.

Thanks! Would be interesting to try BTC arbitrage between BTC-E and huobi/okcoin/finex using LTC. I'll just have to sit down and look at the fees.

Hey slimboy! Have you done arbitrage trading before?

Nope, but I have thought about it. If it's done right it can be a steady stream of income. Sometimes you just have to try.

Yes, and I'm thinking about it too. As I don't trust TA and do not know the short time future, the only way for me to daytrade, is to do arbitrage. It doesn't depend on quick transfers of BTC (or LiteCoin) from A to B. Just cheap transfers. I'm not talking about megafast robotic trading. Just making two trades simultaniously on two different exchanges at the right moment. (Seriously, between Huobi and Bitfinex, there can be a gap of $1.50 per bitcoin for many hours, even days).

I whish you lived in Oslo, fatty. Then we could have a beer and talk

[ElectricMucus]

What happens to Bitfinex if the long squeeze comes and the bids get wiped? Will the dollar lenders lose their money if the longs are unable to close?

I certainly hope so, otherwise why would they get paid 30% if there was no risk involved ?

It would be assuring for everyone with any money on Bitfinex to know what their policy is in this situation. They could haircut everyone, including exchange accounts, or go gox for all I know.

Dont be silly.

It was silly once thinking about mtgox blowing up and all their customers losing fucking everything. Not to mention this is exactly what happened to bitcoinica. (Exchange in the red because of laggy liquidations.)

Yep, but you need to wait until august-september atleast, now btc is going to sub 200$ and no chinese trick can stop it.

It was silly to predict that coinbase would run off with peoples money but that didn't stop you predicting it on here!
