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

[JayJuanGee]

The tech nerds have all contributed a negative amount of money towards bitcoin E.G. they got bitcoin very cheap and dumped most of them at a high price, making money for themselves. The people who are buying Bitcoin now are the friends and relatives of the tech nerds as well as some investors and fintech startups who are betting on a proliferation of Bitcoin within the existing system of banking and commerce, and traders playing the rally. One of the best uses of Bitcoin is to have them on Poloniex to trade altcoins.

I find it a little strange that folks who seem to be intelligent and to "know better" come into the thread and try to negatively particularize and to niche bitcoin users in such a denigrating way to attempt to argue (or at least infer) that bitcoin is some kind of "flash in the pan" when the facts of the matter show ongoing and increasing bitcoin developments.  Sure there has to be some truth to any propaganda story, but even if parts of the story is true that does not mean that the implications are true because such stories seem to purposefully have a negative and denigrating agenda in order to enforce, propagate and cause anti-bitcoin sentiments, etc..

Anyone use Bitcoinwisdom on a regular basis to watch live trade volume on various exchanges?

For more than 12 hours, they seem to be having problems with their API.  Any suggestions on a decent and comparable alternative site for watching live changes in trade volume?

If you believe that a presidental election won't make a dent in the price of bitcoin you are in a dreamland of bitcoin as the only currency in the world and the "btc is all there is" type people's eyes only.

What the hell, blasphemer! Bitcoin non plus ultra!

Non fanatic when it unperforms to the norm.

The stock market went down on news of Hillary's fbi investigation at the same time the btc surge happened. When Hillary wins the stock market will go back up and btc will dump. I will quote myself next week when I'm right.

sounds fair

[sirazimuth]

regardless of who wins the election, it aint gonna effect bitcoin price,imo.
neither candidate knows or cares phuck all about bitcoin nor should they.
i just dont see simply even mentioning bitcoin as being a viable political asset at this point in time.
its just not "mainstream" enough if you will.

[ImI]

nothing to do with policy. just reaction to turmoil and instability.

if trump wins you will see a big drop on the financial markets and lots of uncertainty -> btc rises

if clinton wins we may very well see violent uprising in some states with nationalgard and everything -> btc rises

if we get a too close to call result we see weeks of chaos, accusations and eventually violence -> financial markets decline, btc rises

edit: last but not least the US has warned russia that if it interferes in any way in the US-election it will react with a painful counterreaction onto the russian infrastructure. if that happens -> btc rise

cryptowat.ch without a doubt. It's kept up-to-date with new exchanges and coins unlike Bitcoinwisdom. Only thing it lacks I think is a Houbi ticker.

Thanks.  I opened it up, and I will try it out for a while (at least while bitcoinwisdom remains down).  I am kind of used to the interface on bitcoinwisdom, but you never know, maybe I will get use to this different layout?

in europe everything fine with bitcoinwisdom

I think it's incorrect to associate btc's recent rally with any current events when you had major bitcoin events like segwit and switzerland happening at the same time.

Bitcoin is still not large and mature enough yet to be a safe haven. It's still a high tech science experiment mostly supported by the permissiveness of banks and governments. It is going to follow the markets - not go against them.

Dude... u'r some FOMO heavy breather... do you want to buy more and you are waiting your next pay day in a week or so?? Or what is with all the BS's propaganda you are implying?? 



Do you at least know why bitcoin is so slow and not going directly to 10-50 million US$ per coin?? ... Because that means they need to give up their scam system for a legitimate foolproof system.

bitcoin not a safe haven that's why all my investments in bitcoin are up over 100% in 3 years

my stocks are up no more than 10% in three years

[Karartma1]

LOL!
Yes, if we can cope with its rollercoaster syndrome, BTC outperforms nearly everything that can be tradable today.
Today it would be stupid not to have at least a small % of BTC in one's portofolio

Yeah, I still prefer Wisdom's interface for BTC. Cryptowatch is good for a backup though. (Man, if only Clark Moody was still going )

It's back up this morning.  I think that it was down for a bit more than 24 hours.  While it was "down" you click on  refresh on the browser the site would show the price on that particular exchange, but it would not show anything else.  Anyhow, seems to be working fine now.

I will keep https://cryptowat.ch/bitstamp/btcusd in my bookmarks as a backup plan.

I like BTC stability.
I buy coins before lunch and found that when I eat  lost 10 percent of my investment.

Other posters say Trump would rise Bitcoin. Which is it???

Also apparently every politician is Hitler. I've heard all of them called Hitler, including Trump, Obama and Bernie Sanders. Who is the real Hitler? Which one will gas 6,000,000 people?

If Adolf Hitler himself was elected, would Bitcoin rise or fall?
