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

[xyzzy099]

Yeah, he was the guy who crated the whole 'antifragility' concept.  I have no idea who first applied the concept to Bitcoin.  Sorry.

When I get bored on trains I find a newspaper and insert the word 'pants' somewhere into every headline which brightens every page. I kind of get the same feeling with that word.

'Bitcoin outlawed', antifragile.

'Bitcoin forks into 934 different chains', antifragile.

'Bitcoin causes impotence and herpes in users', antigfragile.

Blaaaaaaaah.

I won't be happy until they make 'the cloud' antifragile by implementing it via a blockchain.
(sorry, I could only think of 3 buzzwords on short notice.  I bet some of you can do much better )

I was thinking about the news headlines after SEC's decision:

Scenario A: Rejected
Bitcoin is dead, not even good for an Exchange-traded fund

Scenario B: Approved
Blockchain gets an ETF......

Starting to feel pretty positive about this now...

Well getting above $1200 again and looking like it will stay that way until

13 MARCH

Usually will do that to a person.

ISIS is testing if the honey bader will see it's shadow or not and induce bear market:

[JimboToronto]

I still plan on buying more on the dip if the ETF is rejected, or buying the first real dip after the initial euphoria if it's approved.

if approved your probably better off buying ASAP rather than waiting years for the "first real dip after the initial euphoria"

 

That would be nice but I'd be satisfied to buy the dip from $3000 to $2200.

Sure, I'd get less coin for my bucks but all my other coins would be worth so much more. I'd be tickled to have to pay that much.

It's the latecomers who long for cheap coins. I want my coins to be exorbitant. Moon, please.

Up $2.40 already per coin on my life savings!! IM RICH BITCH!!!!!
Time to pop the champagne

Do you have an island picked out yet?

Yo... what happened to your countdown? I thought we were supposed to have a decision yesterday

FAKE NEWZ!

I thought so too.

Ahh...
So it was just an 'alternative fact' then?
No problem.

So if we hear nothing tomorrow can we relax over the weekend and resume being "on edge" Monday?

They can still say yay or nay Monday right?

If we don't hear anything by tomorrow then I consider it approved.

Unless the SEC is stupid and makes a denial on Mondays.... they are going to mislead SO many people into thinking it got approved because the official deadline was march 11.... people will be buying thinking it got approved by default only to get fucked on Monday when they finally come out and say.... oops, sorry for the late notice but denied! Aren't they supposed to protect people??

Well Dafar, if we hear nothing tomorrow I won't be convinced until end of play Monday. I am too cautious and believe anything can happen.

SEC is tasked to protect investors, not speculators. They do have until Monday 13 end of day to deny the BATS rule change which would make COIN possible. See the rules for deadlines.

When its approved all the unbelievers and bears + kwuckduck will be destroyed and left in pieces for ever. It will be the day that we make history folks !

[jbreher]

anti-fragile (colloquial use of the word, FU jbreher).  

Haha - you're destroying yet another word. 'Colloquial' implies 'in widespread use'. The only person I've ever seen use 'anti-fragile' in a consistently inverse manner is you.

If you wish to be understood, you'd be better served by employing words in a manner consistent with their definitions.

And we already went over this.  "Anti-fragile" is a mostly hypothetical word that doesn't really apply to bitcoin at all, yet the word is constantly used to describe bitcoin, so it must have some type of colloquial definition in this context.  You keep trying to claim I invented the use of this word to describe bitcoin when I didn't.  Probably some random guy like Antonopolous started it, but I don't remember.

No, I keep pointing out that you are the only one that misapplies this word to gold.

Bitcoin can possibly be anti-fragile, because its properties can change in order to make it more robust in the face of setbacks.

Gold cannot be anti-fragile, because it is unable to change in any manner. It is an element.

What is the difference?

[Denker]

So SEC decision tomorrow or what?
