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

Accordingly, in the past couple of years, I have created and kept track of my BTC investment portfolio, and surely there is some creative bookkeeping because my particular BTC investment portfolio is spread over a number of exchanges that includes both BTC and dollar balances

I might just misunderstand, please tell me you are keeping your 'BTC investment portfolio' in cold storage. And the few % that you trade with on an exchange, for the shortest time possible to just execute the trade (btc and/or fiat)?

It's looking as if you are inclined to provide some advice here, and accordingly, I will assert that I do not engage in a practice similar to what you have outlined above.

Fun Fuct: A Judas goat is an animal trained to lead a heard of sheep to the slaughter, without itself being killed.

Not sure how this is relevant to Bitcoin, but I'm all in. Buy buy buy!

Feels good to be all in...

My work here is done. Escape sequence initiated.
Sincerely,
~Judas Goat

Yes yes, masterfully played. Again.
Prudent investor, follow me!

Sincerely,
~Judas Goat

JJG defends Blockstream's strangling and rube goldbergization of Bitcoin while keeping all his censhorship-proof 1MB freedom tokens on the server of a KYC'd exchange.

Stuck at $450 again .  Back to Basics! 
This is becoming a rather pronounced reoccurring trend we got here.

Translation seems somewhat irrelevant, newbie.

Maybe you can explain a little regarding your bitcoin holdings, if any, and practices in that respect?  Or maybe, Monday morning quarterbacking from mommy's basement is more fun?

The word on the street is that bitcoin is technically too complex for some people.

There has been too much violence... Too much pain... But I have an honorable compromise. Just walk away.
Give me your pump, the oil, the gasoline, and the whole compound, and I'll spare your lives.
Just walk away and we'll give you safe passage in the wastelands. Just walk away and there will be an end to the horror...



...hello?  ... uhm... Is this thing on?

The word on the street is that bitcoin is technically too complex for some people.

Sure... that is true.  There are quite a few aspects to bitcoin, and bitcoin has been criticized fairly extensively (and some truth to it) regarding lack of user-friendly apps.  Furthermore, frequently, people only want to spend so much time on any new activity... whether that be bitcoin or something else... So, maybe we may blame people for being dumb, and not mass adopting bitcoin - yet these time management and prioritizing are real issues whenever bitcoin is introduced to anybody.. and they make choices regarding the level of their introduction - what aspects are interesting to them and how they plan to use the technology, if at all.

It's like early days of the internet, and many people only ventured as far as their AOL account would easily take them... .remember dialing into an AOL account... hahahaha.. approximately mid-90s.. that kind of internet experience even lasted until 2006s.. and I believe AOL is still provided some dial up services.

I remember telling a friend that Internet is a pyramid scheme. People who adopt now, will get the benefits that earlier users have already built.

It's a shame networks take tens of years to build and perfect. Ha ha


I mean look at our current central banking system. We perfected that for YEARS.

[road to morocco]

Can we still make it, gentlemen? Or shall I start serving that humble pie now?
Maybe light some scented candles and cry, like we always do?
Doesn't that sound good?

Well, yeah... any system that is built upon networks take a while to flesh out (whether internet, banks, telephone systems, fax systems or many other potentially analogous systems), yet probably a lot of us realize that the passed several years, and possibly a decade or longer have resulted in a lot of corrupting influences in banking (although there likely have been such corrupting influences building and building in the banking system for longer periods, including the past few hundred years that banking has become more and more sophisticated with the passage of time).

Bitcoin has a long way to go to become mass adopted as banking systems - and maybe we can hope that various decentralized mechanisms are going to remain in bitcoin for sometime in order to make it more difficult to corrupt in similar directions, like banking has seemed to become a kind of con job... Maybe also it will take a while for bitcoin to be taken over by narrow interests, at least during our life times..  - nonetheless, some corrupting influences are likely just unavoidable..

In bitcoin, we should realize that there are quite a few creative people working on various bitcoin applications and in other cryptos - and some of the creativity will likely result in new and improved user-friendliness, if that was kind of the original point regarding how people actually may be attempting to incorporate bitcoin into their experiences.

[AliceGored]

Yeah! My buy limit orders went through , time to wire more fiat for another round of buys. These shakeouts don't scare veterans who have been riding the rollercoaster for some time, just another buying opportunity.

Bitcoin veterans, like BitUsher, wire filthy fiat to exchanges to scoop $450-something coins like you wouldn't believe.

While ignoring a crescendo of ill concealed laughter, like a bozz .

Guise, everything's fine. We just need to wait until monday for the legacy banking institushuns to process BitUsher's wire. He bought $450-something like a boss, he will buy $440-something like a maniac.

It is April and segwit is released and fully absorbing any additional tx volume we may see for the halflings. Anything below $1200 is a buy, and cheaper than JJG's first coin, which he still keeps on the exchange as a sort of momento, a relic from bygone happy days. Banish fear, mewn sewn!

I was looking at coinmarketcap's listing of exchanges and see that CoinsBank is listed as the second largest BTC/USD exchange behind Bitfinex and the largest for BTC/EUR.

I have never heard of them.  They seem to be based out of Scotland or is that Belize

Has anybody heard of them?

so buy more coins for better future?

"On April 4, BIT-X has undergone a complete redesign and emerged again renamed as CoinsBank. BIT-X.com is henceforth redirected to CoinsBank.com."
Not that I know what a BIT-X is, but I guess coinsbank [facepalm smiley] can't be much worse than BIT-X as a name

O.k... and what are you doing, AliceGored?  Have you been selling?  Have you ever owned any bitcoin?  How does your post relate to this thread, you are predicting the price to go down from here?  Any other insights for us, related to bitcoin of course?
