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

[JayJuanGee]

It seems to me that bitcoin can accommodate a lot of political ideologies, not just libertarians, even though there seem to be quite a few strongly-viewed libertarians (especially some of the early adopters) who seem to have been viewing bitcoin as the savior (even though a few of them may have dropped off a bit when it was discovered that bitcoin may not be as anonymous as was initially asserted and/or marketed).

It's a technical problem.  There are technical solutions.  When I want to make a BTC purchase, I spend XMR using xmr.to or shapeshift.io.  Consequently my privacy is assured.

Yes, I  believe that there will continue to be more and more options available for people to attempt to utilize.. maybe it will never be quite as anonymous as cash, if you do not stay on your toes regarding various technologies and potential limitations that may not be understood by regular people, including some monkeys.

probably, yes.  but if you do, it is substantially more anonymous than cash.

Be careful. I dipped my toe in that thread once and lost it.

i wonder what happen when price goes to the moon (next year), will it goes to certain price says 2000, then everyone sell and price goes ballistic to 900 or even 500 again

Ideally if we go to the moon & achieve mainstream adoption then bitcoin will be accepted in most places & we won't have to sell anything.

If the price goes to 2000 soon though & doesn't seem to be going up from there we'e have a decision to make.

My advice to anybody who HODL's though is never sell 100% of your coins. Imagine how shit it'd be if you sold @ say 2000 & then 2-3 years later the price shot to 100k. Always save something in cold storage even if it's 1 bitcoin.

No regrets etc.

A late good morning Bitcoinland. Slept in.

I see we had a small correction back to $430 after yesterday's slight dip. Hopefully this will put to rest any thoughts of falling below $400.

Still a long way to go before we're back to where we were before the Boxing Day panic/beartrap, but it's a start. Glad I could afford to buy a couple more coins cheap.

[JayJuanGee]

great  !!!

400 left untouched, now im 5 usd richer  LOL

500 soon 

Hm?  how did that happen?  is your average BTC buy in price $424, and you own 1 BTC?  or you talking about something else in your riddle of a post? 

yes actually im selling 1 btc  near 440, then when it crashing to 422 im buying back, turn out it crashing near 409. it almost worried me (you can check my post history).

so yes 427 (when i posted) - 422 = +5 usd

 

I doubt that there is any real need for any kind of competition or to verify whether you are good for your word regarding such a short-term predictions and/or luck...

Good for you. 

I also made a few profitable trades in the drop from $450 to $407 and some of the ups and downs therein... .. but really it's all part of the territory once you have money set up on both ends of the price range, no?   

I have stated this a few times before (maybe 100-ish).  I personally am not trying to predict with any precision the short term price directions, but I get hunches and inclinations that I frequently will share.  In practice, I just attempt to schedule buys when it goes down and to sell when it goes up and reversals are good for that strategy.. yet sometimes, my orders will be left in the dust when it does not drop enough or rise enough.. and less profits.. but that's o.k. too, so long as BTC prices continue to go up... ultimately... which seems to be occurring.. and it seems that the bull trend is continuing (at least probably, we can describe a bull trend, unless BTC prices were to dip below $320, and it seems that we have a bit of a cushion before that $320 price level were to take place in the near term and the current apparent price momentum)

oh.. sorry im not bragging here...   im just clarify my position as you asked.  


well, i think we bull are safe now, i hope    
btw, you do buy at 230 too right it was sweet  

I've bought through nearly the whole spectrum of recent BTC price history from $1,200 to $182 and many point in between.

Yes, any of the BTC that I bought below $430 are feeling pretty good at the moment.

Don't spend it all at once bro

the US will be in deep shit by then, USD will be irrelevant.

yep... maybe always hang onto 10% of your BTC stash or 1BTC, whatever is greater....   The quantity of your BTC stash will evolve over time, so investors are certainly going to come to varying judgements regarding an appropriate amount to keep on the side.


On the other hand, none of us are going to live forever, except maybe lambie, and we have to consider timing our investments, to some extent.  It is good to spend most of it by the time you die, but you do not want to spend it too soon... fuck.. what a dilemma because none of us really know the answer to that question regarding our own death.

Only a few more days and up up and away we go.

i agree, maybe on the safe side, just sell to cover your initial investment. so its all free coin...

If i have some extra money, i would safe my bitcoin without selling as you suggests.
but in some points I sell my btc because I am in need for cash for my daily live.
investing in btc does not work for all people

It's a technical problem.  There are technical solutions.  When I want to make a BTC purchase, I spend XMR using xmr.to or shapeshift.io.  Consequently my privacy is assured.

I could see that for buying a rug on overstock or a monitor from newegg...

What's the technical solution for buying a car, a house, a commercial property?

Interestingly, both that thread and this one independently went bat-shit-crazy over the last 48 hours. Are we all really that bored with the market?

[aminorex]

monkey thinks it could rise for as long as 8 more hours before continuing down for a week or so.  on the bright side he tells me support level has risen to 370

Monkey gave up on it intraday.  I'm out.

Different threads, different scales on the bat-shit-crazy-o-meter.

In each of those cases, the purchase is a matter of public record, and hence privacy concerns are moot.

But yes, there is a scale problem.  When the nickel and dime volume is large enough, then the liquidity will suffice for the dollar traffic to insinuate itself, &c.  Given the trend in privacy awareness in marketplaces which have historically been early adopters of crypto, I expect the scale problem to work itself out over time.  "Price fixes everything."  

[JimboToronto]

C'mon. Somebody buy a few thousand coins and get this thing rolling again.

Sub-$450 is getting boring. It was fun as a buying opportunity but it's time to move on.
