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

[Gyrsur]

We all know this is largely being spurred by recent legal changes in Japan but is it also part of a greater global adoption? Is the s-curve finally nearing the point of going vertical?

yes, when we will have a solution for scaling activated in BitCoin later this year or next year we will go vertical.

at the latest after the next halfing in 2020.

^^^ This

All my investment in Bitcoins is based on a target price of around $10.000 for 2020. Maybe I am right or maybe I am not, but all that I am doing now I am doing it taking into account a decent probability of that target price in that time lapse.

Also, It is not that I plan to cash out when that happens, but it is also my bet that by that time, if the prediction has been fullfilled, I would be able to directly spend from my BTC stash for my everyday purchases.

And I also bet that this is exactly the "plan" of most people around here. Am I wrong?

Ok, Ok. Maybe next time

About the wall... It's pulled atm, it looks like someone is playing... I don't see why. The price is perfectly ok where it is right now until next week. There's no need for another pump yet. Maybe even a little correction ($50) would be healthy.

Maybe it is some whale signaling to others that if they dare to dump he will buy right into it. Donno.

I would prefer the price remain at this level and resume the rise next week. No hurry guys.

guess the target is $2000 until we will see a larger correction.

the spread on exchanges is insane right now.

i'm treating stamp as the real price as always.

Good point. That's gonna hit 10k yen soon.

The Coindesk BPI is pretty reasonable.  Google is off the rails (probably considering Bitfinex) and Coindesk is nice when you don't want to pin yourself down to one exchange.

While it's hard to say when it will happen, as always, the dump will be epic.

wtf is happeniiiiiing??

I really haven't seen this wave coming!!

Not that I'm against it of course but it's a bit frightening ^^

HOLD

To be fair so far looked more a tide than a wave.

An Eth shill came up with the best description of the Bitfinex situation:

I won't be surprised if it turns out that the fiat withdrawal problems at BFX were deliberate, so could unload their own bags at a premium price on their own exchange. It wouldn't be surprising if they go full gox with money going missing either. Anyway people who deal with them will probably loose one way or another.

The second those charts turned bad for bitcoin and the market began to roll over, Bitfinex immediately pulled the plug on withdrawals right at the top of the cliff.  Then, instead of going down, they forced a short squeeze of basically every single customer on their entire exchange, plus forcing all cash holders to dump fiat and buy bitcoin to be able to remove anything from the exchange at all, and here we are now in some absurd bubble with $100 spreads or more between all exchanges.

This would be the nightmare scenario. And the timing fits. But what evidence do we have that BFX initiated the fiat problems? I though it was Wells Fargo (remember the so-called lawsuit against Wells Fargo they pulled).

Small problem with that theory. There are shit tons of other payment processors operating through Taiwan with the exact same problem. Is bitfinex paying them to pretend?

Really? So this is not just Bitcoin or crypto related? Or do you mean that other crypto exchanges and payment processors in Taiwan have to deal with it as well?
Any links where someone could get some infos about that.
Would appreciate that.

I hope you're right. Lets hope that the dump will be so epic that we'll see it below 1500.

In the meantime ... time to pay a visit to 1540$ ( Bitstamp) ?

OK coin. Com has the same problem as does btce 's payment processor and they're not crypto specific and btce has other options. Do some googling.  There are plenty of articles about international Taiwan banking problems in non bit coin publications.

This isn't much to do with crypto and much more to do with Taiwan not keeping in line with banking regulations that the rest of world adheres to.

I smell something in the air.
Either it's napalm or some small correction coming.
