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

[Dotto]

I'm currently working on an application that in a nutshell, generates trading strategies, back-tests them, and uses the best strategies to auto trade cryptocurrencies (currently BTC and ETH). Right now the "trade bot" portion only paper trades against a particular exchange, but sends me email notifications on trade entry and exits so I can review and manually enter the trade if I so desire. I monitor multiple time periods for each cryptocurrency, and although it's only been running live for about a week, things look very promising thus far. For example here is my last trade pair:

Wed, Jul 13, 2016 at 12:54 AM ETH BUY at 10.46002995
Fri, Jul 15, 2016 at 4:54 AM ETH  SELL at 12.17

which I executed with real money and made a nice profit. It's a bit too early to make retirement plans but I'm definitely excited.

Very intradesting.What language did you use?. Could you use it with, say, monero/btc?

As for the proposed ETF, it does not add any productive mechanism to the underlying bitcoins. It only provides a level of indirection, that is intended to make bitcoin accessible to investments funds that it would not otherwise get (such as retirement funds). But, would the SEC authorize an ETF whose shares are to be backed exclusively by shares of a specific penny stock?

Its been a long time since I have seen him on here and he's still vehemently against bitcoin. Why is he hell-bent on seeing bitcoin not succeed?

He's a socialist academic in tenure at a tax-payer funded third world university ... what else is there to understand?

He's the typical scum that has bought humanity to its knees through a tragically-failed ideology and attendant rent-seeking classes. It's important for them that their world-view being destroyed by prosperity-generating examples of liberty in action is not exhibited to a wide audience.

His posts always angered me but he seemed pretty friendly with everyone so I never said anything.

But why he spends so much time reading up on something he doesn't like or has any part of is weird. He needs to do things he enjoys and maybe spend time with his family rather than trolling something he has no part of at all. Sad old man, get with the times!

Even trolls have Bitcoin. He was/ is a strange troll breed that holds none and has never intended to hold any.

He needs sectioning.

Definitely a good sign when you got people like that spending there life trying thwart something like bitcoin.

Bullish

I know just the place...

The place looks like an abandoned old sanitarium. I guess it is, in a way.

Stolfi has a wikipedia article only for himself. It seems very accurate:

Bitcoin activities
In late 2013 Jorge took an active interest in the emerging market of Bitcoin trading, and invested a substantial portion of his personal wealth in the cryptocurrency. He is assumed to be among the 500 largest holders of Bitcoins in the world.

There you go.
He's the typical Keynesian!
I expect nothing from these people than bashing Bitcoin every minute they can without being able to substantiate whats so wrong about it being free market money.
They will always come up with stupid knock out arguments and push their propaganda.That's it!
God bless they ridicule themselves with that kind of behaviour!

Bollinger Bands looking awfully tight.

Bollinger Bands looking awfully tight.

Yes, the classic "GI tract" Bollinger.
Easy to visualize like this: Food enters through the mouth on the left, follows the dashed line, and feces comes out through the sphincter on the right. Colloquially known as "dump." The tighter the right side is, the more massive (and explosive) the resultant "dump."

That's why I love Wikipedia.

They might not be accurate, but sometimes they are funny as hell.

By the way, how can we know if he's telling the truth when he says that he has no Bitcoin?

[BlindMayorBitcorn]

The consortium pays him in USD, obviously.

I don't think Jorge stolfi owns bitcoins and I'm sure he is honest when he says, signature:
Academic interest in bitcoin only. Not owner, not trader, very skeptical of its longterm success.

Why should he tell a lie?

ugh... still not enough of trollfi?
how about this theory: nlc is one of trollfi's alter egos and izablabla kaminzky is his daughter and helps him trolling the btc community?!

Edit: i forgot to add my explanation why he does this..
 satoshi gave him alot of btc in 2009 for promotion reasons, he then sold them all when the price hit 10$ the first time. 10k bucks profit and he was glad that he got out before the 'bubble' burst. after seeing the price hit 250$ he thought "damn, maybe i was wrong after all. i will just buy back in with all my money".
There was another dump to two digits and he sold at the bottom with a horrible loss of more than 50%. Ever since then he was butthurt and started trolling. His daughter seeing her inheritance had more than halfed also joined in the never ending trollvendetta...
i am sorry for exposing the truth or maybe i am just kidding. who knows?

Izabella Kaminska is a saint. Leave her out of this.

We don't. He might might be holding a boatload of bitcoin, but wants to go broke by convincing people that it's worthless.

Dialectic thinking.

If he is wrong and BTC goes to the moon, he will be rich. If he is right and BTC fails, he will lose, but at least he can brag to others he was right all the time.

He will "win", one way or another
