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

very, very dangerous market you idiot shorters ... the dragon is awake.

[jbreher]

seems like BTC prices are gonna have to go below $430 or even lower to put me back in the red

Don't think that's gonna happen. Congratulations. Sincerely.

Actually, we agree on something. 

for about the past 8 months, I have been building up my BTC portfolio

Seeing as we found a topic we can be all lovey-dovey over, here's a tip from sad experience... If you're going to trade ladders, building $ on the upswing and BTC on the down, then stay ever-vigilant. When the rocket ignites, it is sudden and violent. You are likely to be come out with a pile of stinky fiat that cannot come anywhere close to buying back the BTC you just sold.

JJG broke even. Finally. Huzzah!

You are misdescribing circumstances, and maybe you should give some of your own details.. because something seems missing from your comment..- even in a kind of patronizing respect.

In fact, at this time and this week, BTC is currently way too volatile (too much price action) for anyone to be "breaking even" in any kind of exact manner .. especially, not someone anywhere near my situation  - whether we are talking strictly about BTC holdings, or some other combination of funds that are being traded.

Now you are emulating dumbaztec.... and where did he go?


Go on BMB... give us some of your BTC buying/selling details?  do you own any BTC.. maybe .73BTC?  Do you own any alts, maybe a little ETH,... go on tell us?  have you been buying or selling cryptos or PMs in recent months? 

or are you like Stolfi, merely, participating herein for academic purposes..?.   something happened to Stolfi, too?   


Seems many of our bear troll shill fiends are disappearing, but I am sure that several of them will be back for our next correction in the $600s or maybe when we coming down into the $500s..

I got a giant sweaty wodge of coins from dealing in some pretty shady things on the darkweb. It's a sinister past and I'm not particularly proud of it. But I'm reformed.

Pre-halving rally is go.

[arcmetal]

Pre-halving rally is go.

I noticed that the price was on a small linear rise these past few days, then it just popped up.  The only thing I can find as to what it might be is this: "CFTC Grants Full Registration to Bitcoin Swaps Trading Platform"  -- Coindesk.... or is it just the "pre-halving"?

What's the prevailing wind out there say?

600 this week end

[Room101]

3 years since i bought my BTC.

Has been some ups, some downs and some boring bits in the middle.
Still an excellent decision, and looking back i really can't believe the insane adoption that has happened over those last 3 years. Daily transactions, USD volume etc etc. Never really thought it would get this far, and when monitoring BTC on a day to day basis it is easy to get get caught up in all the bullshit and forget just how far we have come.

... it's eyeing 500 now, it smells it

600 this week end

what is it about my weekend?

[shmadz]

If I had more guts, I'd short at this point.

Should re trace to the point where previous resistance becomes support...

Should......

Edit- right Around 465 , but I would set my bids at 470

There are some technical reasons, because there was a fakeout, and we've broken through resistance.

I understand what you have been talking about, and I definitely have been playing around with this, and from time to time discussing my various strategies in this regard.


Here's a recent post that I made on the topic:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1166428.msg14985823#msg14985823


I do not claim to be any kind of expert and I am learning with practice, yet overall I have been selling off small portions of my BTC portfolio.. but I understand what you are saying how it could kind of get away from you... but I also have some charts (that currently go up to about $3500) that show limitations in how much I am authorizing myself to sell.. so for example, even if prices would shoot up to $3500, I would likely still have close to 50% of my BTC... Of course, I do have to tweak this a bit and attempt to roll with the punches of the situation  in front of me as it may evolve.

Pre-halving rally is go.

I wonder what is the next FUD-attack. Hearn, Ver, Wright, Ehrsam,...

You know , if liquidity actually dries up we could see a major move, just like old times . 10 X, 20 X, 100 X

 but I doubt that - markets are too deep now - more mature - more options to short, - in theory it should even out the market . Gradual climb to 3200 would be nice though :-)

7.6B marketcap mature?
U aware that snapchat = 50B ?



x10 is possible imo.

Dude, when bitcoins was a dollar I never thought it would get to like five bucks,  and then within a week it went to 32 .

 couple years later we were at like 10 or 15 and I thought it would be crazy if we could get to like 50 and then we went to 250

 couple months later was thousand

 in my time I've learned to never underestimate the bitcoin

 *Edit* also pleased to realize that bitcoins is not real money everything can go to zero immediately tomorrow, but both outcomes are possible. good luck out there
