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

[JimboToronto]

I loved the idea behind bitcoin since the very beginning.

That's why I got into Bitcoin in the first place. The realization that I could make a lot of money from it came later.

It was all about decentralized, open-source peer-to-peer networking. This is what I call the real New World Order.

When I first heard about Napster, it wasn't free music that fascinated me. It was the idea of P2P file sharing. I watched as the process evolved from centralized to partially centralized and then to fully decentralized, ending up with bittorrent magnet links and torrent portals existing on redundant cloud servers based on multiple continents.

I watched Wikipedia evolve from a sketchy platform where anyone could post any bullshit they wanted to my go-to site for research. The site itself may be centralized but the content is controlled by a worldwide decentralized community of contributors who keep it honest.

Social media sites are similar. The sites themselves may be so centralized that they are all basically operated by Prism but the content is still supplied by a worldwide community. Likewise crowdfunding.

Long live the real New World Order.

it's very good we crossed $1000 once again

Indeed. It wasn't long ago that $1000 seemed like a dream.

Remember when we first hit $1000 back in 2013? People were ecstatic. They planned international Bitcoin millionaire parties and bought Lamborghinis and castles.

Then some people convinced themselves that we'd never reach $1000 again. It was all fake, they said. MtGox, Willybot, Beanie Babies, tulip bubbles, etc.

Now it's become our new base line. If it dips below, it's only for a few hours, or as we saw this past weekend, a day.

Not bad considering that one esteemed moderator posted about the "myth" of triple digits back in the summer of 2013.

Just look at us now.

I stepped in at a perfect moment, just in the middle of the triple digits, knowing that my invested kapital would never be harmed  . This floor is way above my entry point what reduces the stress

Bitcoin PLUS up 800% and Bitcoin DARK up 350%..... and we are bag holding bitcoin myspace that only goes up 4% lol wtf?

[GGALINff]

there was a tweet today saying that there will be a fork of Bitcoin and that all Bitcoin holders will get tokens on the fork...

the tweet also said that they will attempt to claim the XBC symbol from the long dead BitcoinPlus...


I don't really follow it,  but maybe that's why XBC is up so much today - though it is BS,  I think lol

anyway,  ho does it work - it this fork does occur,  how do we claim our tokens on it?

Thats true. Ok i admit it. I like to spread lots of FUD to buy more coins. Are you happy now? Yes i am greedy, yes i am a jerk. But at least i am not a liar  
I hope you still love my tho ^^

It is becoming more evident that the likelihood of Bitcoin Unlimited being executed as a hard fork solution is substantially low. One major factor which ultimately drove the community and miners away from Bitcoin Unlimited is its development team’s inability to prevent severe bugs and internal technical issues from being exploited.

Well, that just goes to show the sheer rigour that goes on with analysis in Altland. It sounds a little Bitcoiny. PUMP.

Are the pumpers intentionally taking the piss out of everyone else?

[Torque]

Altland has become the new kickstarter for cryptocurrencies. Basically they're nothing more than tech start-ups that are using initial pumps as crowdfunding for their core developers' salaries.

"Hey kids, come join us to overtake that ol' dinosaur called Bitcoin! We've got better tech and a better growth model! Trust us! The industry will be falling all over themselves to integrate our coin! Just look at how cool and slick our new logo and marketing is! We're the new new!"

They all do some variation of that, no?  Atland would not be "special" in that regard.

Looks like the beartrent is finally broken? Lest go up while all the reasons why we go down still exist. I really have no idea where this is going to end up. Go BTC go!

I am still not convinced that $1k is our new base line. Let it some more time, so that the things can settle.
I agree however, that it is amazing how much Bitcoin grew since the end of the last bear market (post Mt. Gox), and even more amazing to compare it where we were before Mt. Gox.
Having said that, I also have to mention that in terms of development on the 'made' side of the bill there are couple of disappointments in the last four years.

Yep, still quite random now but in just hanging on for now. I don't expect too much in terms of a price rise as there's no reasons for the price to rise now but we could be surprised. Anything is appreciated in these times
