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

[mixan]

Has anybody thought that price is rising because deposits to exchanges can't come through the 45k+ pending txs mempool?

Yes I was just thinking the same thing.  

I have $394 worth of bitcoin stuck in the blockchain sent to me since last night and has been over 16 hours without a confirmation yet.
It must be part of that or else I don't know what else it could be.

[Fakhoury]

Not to jinx it but if we get past $778 we will see what we did in 2013.

Are the odds in our side brother ?

(small to moderate) correction coming @ ~780 USD

Nooo... i'm getting my paycheck this friday, i wanna buy cheap coins 1 more time.

You have had plenty of opportunities to buy cheap coins...


At some point, this rocket has got to leave the launch pad, and maybe, just maybe this could be it.

Yes I was just thinking the same thing.  

I have $370 worth of bitcoin stuck in the blockchain sent to me since last night and has been over 16 hours without a confirmation yet.

First time for me, too.  The longest that I had previously was maybe almost 3 hours.

My current transaction has been stuck for about 18 hours, as I type, and zero confirmations.

The mempool is still looking full, and actually a little bit more full than it was 18 hours ago.

I'm thinking that there is some kind of spam attack going on, because exponential peaks, like this, just do not make much sense.

I don't count on such things. But it would be exciting if we had a 10x rise like in 2013.

lol

10x rise is so fine for me.

5x rise is fine too.

[JimboToronto]

Good morning Bitcoinland.

Still creeping up I see... $669 0n Bitcoinaverage.

Let's keep this rise nice and steady. No skyrocket and fizzle, just a smooth ramp up.

Okay, I realize there's no smooth ramp with Bitcoin but at least we can hope for a less extreme roller coaster.

2X rise is ok for me

I vote for a smooth ramp up likewise Jimbo. Even though the crazy Bitcoin train is, simply, crazy! 
I am happy guy if I will find a 1000 dollar price under the Christmas tree this year. Santa can do this for us, don't you think?

[podyx]

I sent a transaction like 2 hours ago and it still hasn't confirmed. What the fuck is going on? Blocks are full, I know but the last block was .75 MB

Yeah I'd much prefer a 50 USD increase per month or something
Meteoric rises followed by big dumps are no good.

This is basically what's going on, and it doesn't look good for the future panic buys

I find this steady rise insanely, and I mean *insanely* coincidental to not only getting closer and closer to the U.S. Presidential election result, but also a prelude to turning the corner into 2017, which will likely be the most disastrous that world markets will have seen since 2009. If not 2017, then 2018 will be for sure.

A little too coincidental not to be completely correlated.  I feel the pressure cooker already building.

All I can say is, when 2017 finally comes....

hey everyone: if your waiting on your bitcoin transaction to get through the 50,000 btc transaction traffic jam wait in line queue, here are some things you can do to speed up the process:

a week from next tuesday the stars will start to align. this will provide best opportunity of having the extra luck to push your bitcoin transaction through the 50,000 btc wait in line queue. i would suggest that to maximize your chances of getting your stuck transaction through bitcoins blockchain traffic jam that you start doing indian rain dances starting this weekend. do not stop doing the rain dances until the power of V akman from above brute forces your bitcoin transaction through... one last piece of advice: be patient, V akman is very busy helping all the V akman rain dancers get their bitcoin transactions through.

i'm like a legendary bitcoin super-hero now, showing up in the last moments to help out fellow bitcoiners in their times of need.

Could this stall the price? Also when is my transaction likely to go through, need it quick as I'm opening an order with leverage

I don't mean to be a party pooper, but we gotta get real, no?

O.k., sure.  We can state what our preferences are... including a slow steady rise in BTC prices, blah blah blah, but in the end is this kind of mindset very realistic?  We are talking bitcoin - a financial tool never been seen before by mankind.

We gotta get real and prepare ourselves for BTC prices moving in both directions and volatility... sure maybe it is more likely to go up rather than down, but we still should be preparing for both directions, no? 

Volatility in whatever manner are more likely scenarios, as compared to one of slow and steady of whatever.  Sure, I am not denying that slow and steady could happen, but it is probably less than a 20% likelihood...., no?   

So, in that regard, why prepare our mindsets and our financial investments for a kind of pie in the sky scenario that is less likely to play out?  That is like gambling.  It makes little to no sense to me (maybe because I don't characterize myself as a gambler), except I get the fact that a large number of people would prefer such a slow and steady thingie a ma jiggie.. but it is not likely to happen, no?

[podyx]

Gonna miss out on a whole lot of potential profits would the price decide to skyrocket sometime in the coming 2 months

[JimboToronto]

Wow. I just looked in on Huobi in time to see a nice rise happen before my very eyes, then switched back to Stamp to see it follow.

Fun.
