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

[Meuh6879]

Think smart.

2011 : 10 USD
2016 : 400 USD
2021 : ?    ?

Oh, and ... you can look this, too ... if you like that : http://bitcoin.sipa.be/

We need just to sit ... and watch this big forteress of "PRICE OF BITCOIN" rise after the halving and the exponential power of mining.















and then ... WE FUCK GOLD, YEAAAAH !

Looks like you got your purge Bitusher.

I'm getting posts deleted east, west, left and right.

Congratulations!!!

I don't recommend or advocate for censorship.

lel

btw... did you correct your orgasmic announcement of the "Call for Pre-Consensus Consensus Letter" where you were woefully confused about what BitmainWarranty is?

It's true, 3 more weeks of stalemate is exactly what was needed. Time enough to get a lawyer to say some scary words that mean Bitcoin can never hardfork again! Hurray!

They just ain't got no scruples. 

brb, gotta go work on my github attributions

lol

You read the letter as a resounding denunciation of Classic and a firm endorsement of Core, interesting.

Upon reading point 3...

In the next 3 weeks, we need the Bitcoin Core developers to work with us and clarify the roadmap with respect to a future hard-fork which includes an increase of the block size.

This is obviously asking Core to do what they have refused to do for a year now, and it gives a deadline.

Let's see if miners will grab the bone they might be thrown. My guess is that it will be a pinky promise for a HF sometime in 2017.

Now, because Core is immune to politics, and will only base decisions on their enabling of future profitability technical superiority... they simply cannot do this. To change Gregory's roadmap is to succumb to political pressure where a mouth breathing majority tramples the sacred rights of the enlightened minority, compromising at all would mean they have been lying all along about that point. Bit of a pickle there. Cheers Friend.  

Let the purge begin! Bitcoin is a settlement tool for central banking, excelsior!
Any tips on how I can run a payment channel hub to siphon fees from miners?

The sooner we purge these CIA/GCHQ banksters, the better! Zionists... ur next!  

I don't know all about that purge non-sense ... we shouldn't stoop to their level and use violence, torture, kidnapping, and murder to effect change when we can write code and peacefully opt out of funding various crimes against humanity.

I think it would be a great for Core developers to set a date for a HF with certain conditions to be met so we have a goal. If not , It would be great if Classic could take some advice from the miners and Garzik who was denied changing the thresh-hold and perhaps deploy a new implementation based off of 0.12.0 that included a 1.5MB bump with segwit HF in, a 90% thresh-hold of the previous 12960 of blocks with a 3 month grace period. This proposal would be far more attractive.

P.S... The Ln will allow nodes to be incentivized and strengthens our ecosystem. This solves our dilemma of node drop off. Additionally, mining is so competitive that the cost of equipment and electricity is close to the total sum of reward+tx fees+extra fees from other services like selling virgin coins. This means that if all tx are handled directly through miners instead of on a caching layer the cost of equipment and electricity will increase likewise instead of it slowing down due nodes sharing tx fees with miners. This may solve the concern of the exponential increase of electricity consumed for PoW....

billy, please keep us updated as you double down. Will make things much more enjoyable.

...peacefully opt out of funding various crimes against humanity.

Like education and healthcare?

Whoa brother... I was thinking more of deleting their comments and banning them from subreddits... followed by a little gentle DDoSing, no need to go that far.

To be fair ... The reality distortion field was high within their community because outside trolls and agent provocateurs where actively supporting Bitcoin Classic to create division in our community and because adopting that implementation would lead to centralization and dis-empower all the "evil" crypt-anarchists and cipher-punks.

We shouldn't hold any grudges against most Classic supporters and welcome them back in as our temporarily lost brothers in an act of solidarity.

So if I admit I've been mislead by Satoshi's white paper outside trolls and agent provocateurs... will you cipher punks welcome me back into the agreeable hodler fold? I can't imagine how I would cope without JJG's insight and humor... Sure, a big ol' pile of stinkin' filthy fiat might help, but would leave me with a strange acrobat shaped hole in my heart.

You were using the term Purge which was an odd attempt to by Fatman3001 to insinuate I advocated for technique used by Stalin and his followers. Take a Look at this deplorable moment in history that he was referring to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Purge

So if I admit I've been mislead by Satoshi's white paper outside trolls and agent provocateurs... will you cipher punks welcome me back into the agreeable hodler fold? I can't imagine how I would cope without JJG's insight and humor... Sure, a big ol' pile of stinkin' filthy fiat might help, but would leave me with a strange acrobat shaped hole in my heart.  

You are always welcome to stay, leave, or advocate for change friend. No need to admit you were wrong either, as it really isn't about arguing over Satoshi's Whitepaper because he left and the direction of Bitcoin is in our hands now. You and Me.... we should work together in solidarity to make it better.

P.S... I believe their are many genuine bitcoin advocates who support Classic(including some prominent anarchists like Ver and Janssens so this isn't about Statists vs Anarchists), and that the trolls and agent provocateurs aren't just representing the classic side but multiple groups for various reasons. One likely reason is to subvert our ecosystem. Here is a good video giving you an overview on how states subvert organizations they oppose - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8fQoGMtE0EY

I do think that it is possible that States are still ignoring and simply watching our ecosystem from the sidelines as they have already admitted towards...who knows? The beauty of subversion is that it is extremely difficult to avoid or identify and those that claim that it is happening are accused of being paranoid. The good thing is that we can avoid its effects by increasing education and trying not to automatically assume ill will , and sticking to the facts as best we can to avoid it if it is happening.

Still moon.
buy.

interesting to wandererfromthenorth turn so bullish, pleasant but interesting ... could this be "THE" one?

... some prominent anarchists like Ver and Janssens ...

Can't argue, that some bad anarchist bros, right there...

Would that be the Bruce Fenton, the totally relevant Chief Chairchief of The [lol, we're bankrupt] Bitcoin Foundation?
Or did they finally put that thing out of our misery?

Fair enough.

To the outside world, we're both idealists and weirdos. We're probably more alike than different, in terms of goals and motives. Subversive tactics have been employed by both sides, with each side probably thinking the other side did it much worse.

To me, this disagreement boils down to the method on which transactions are priced. One side views something as a decentralization retention dial, the other sees the same dial as an economic policy tool not unlike central economic planning. We disagree on that, and we'll see how it shakes out. It could end up with me quite a bit more financially diversified, I sincerely hope it doesn't, but we all have to act rationally (or attempt to) as things change.

To free minds, and free markets, cheers.

We trolled that poor fellow mercilessly. You should apologize.

Appreciate.

This is a clear sign of going up... miners investing more and burning more electricity in anticipation for bull run.

We don't necessarily have to choose between either. Perhaps competing payment channels could have different economic policies where some allowed higher txs by having a longer CLTV period before settlement, some could have stricter spam control, and others less volume with shorter settlement times. 

 Dipping in a fee market event if it proves harmful won't be disastrous as there are always temporary off the chain solutions to buffer the extra tx's (Ironically, those that support Classic), and it will merely sway miners and many other to support increasing the blocksize quickly.  If a fee market event proves to remove a lot of spam and create innovative other solutions like payment channels, we also all win. Basically we are discussing champagne problems that can be dealt with as we learn. The worst outcome is if a fee market isn't realized because tx volume stagnates.

If anyone remembers my post in October, I went all in at $230 and posted a couple days later:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1200114.0

I was fully out at $44x.  Now I'm back all in at $375.


<r0ach> I believe Armstrong said gold would crater to lowest in Q1 2016, but I might be mistaken
<r0ach> and gold has bottomed then rose
<r0ach> so that might signal the end of the btc drop as well
<r0ach> meanwhile, Harvey Dent said gold would hit $700, hopefully he did not trade on his own advice
<r0ach> Faber says gold to "possibly" $2000 in 2016, so Bitcoin should do similar large gains as well
<r0ach> the fact that people in london are standing in lines in the street for gold seems like Harvey Dent commodity collapse is a tad off
<r0ach> both Bitcoin and gold are more of a currency than commodity anyway, so a deflationary collapse with
<r0ach> liquidity crisis doesn't just make them go down with other commodities
<r0ach> they can benefit from liquidity crunch just like the USD
