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

Lol. We're so bored.

typical bitcoin action:

Price stability makes bitcoin more attractive to old school investors, no?

Nobody wants to invest a load of cash & experience an epic dump/loss a few days later.

u probably shouldn't "invest" in bitcoin then .

Surely, the volatility of BTC prices can be a bit stressful. 

Yesterday, I accepted a payment of about $750 worth in bitcoin, and between the clicking, sending and receiving (which was within less than 30 seconds), the amount that I received reduced by $.50... which kind of irritated me.

I have figured out some ways to take advantage of the quick receipt of the bitcoin in order that the price volatility won't matter as much to my particular situation (and to be able to profit from the quick availability of the bitcoins, even though I may have lost a bit in the transaction), but I can understand how it could be even A LOT MORE stressful for someone who is new to bitcoin. 

There have to be some ways to prepare for the quick fluctuations in price, but new people are going to have more troubles adjusting to such volatility because they do not really perceive how their fiat tends to depreciate, without their even being aware.. but when they see bitcoin volatility, they say, "fuck", and can become frustrated by actually seeing the fluctuation(s), especially when the fluctuation goes against them.

Stealing peoples fiat without due process or court order.,,, Nice new low. Reminds me of asset forfeiture in the US-- guilty until proven innocent.

What's wrong with ChartBuddy?

[Elwar]

Can we see a triangle showing when the price will likely jump one way or another?

The $430 range is so last year...

Bitcoinland must still have a 2015 hangover. Usually this quiet means we get some volatility soon.

I don't mind volatility as long as it's of the upwards kind

O hai friends!

I'm the executive director of the Bitcoin Foundation and I have no idea what's going on.

But didn't everybody resign when Brock Pierce slithered on? Or am I thinking of another Bitcoin Foundation??

The only one I'm aware of who resigned was Olivier, then then came back and was voted off by the board and has resigned again

Um:

At least 10 members of the nonprofit Bitcoin Foundation have resigned over last week's election of onetime Disney child star and current Bitcoin entrepreneur and financier Brock Pierce as a new director, officials at the group said.

Okay, thx for the link.  I didn't follow the story much at the time.  I thought the scandal it was primarily based on accusations which were not proven.

Hmm.

I guess I hound public figues when I'm bored. Who knew?

Yes, I thought it was aproblem with the bitcointalk image proxy until you said the code wasn't right.  The images are being allowed through, it's a problem with the code. There don't appear to be any 3D market view images in chartbuddy's posts at the moment, only the images below and broken URLs. Coding a live system is difficult and chartbuddy is online 24/7.
