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

[leowonderful]

also, how the fuck is stamp so far ahead of the others?

That's really strange, bearstamp's at $2235 and bitfinex is at $2211. Since when was bearstamp's price higher than bitfinex's?

And kraken is lagging behind at 2172$ :/

Please come buy coins here! They're as shiny as the others and a bit less expensive! :3

And it is also harder to move money to Kraken. Ive tried several times to no avail sadly, maybe when it becomes easier to move funds to em I'll check it out.

Are you in USD? The Kraken USD market is traditionally a strange and stunted little thing. All the action is in EUR and you can SEPA there very rapidly if you're not in a third world country like the US.

Japan Bounced at 300000.

Yep. Best we've got is Finex, which i use every now and then. I mostly hold anyways so I don't sell much.. Hopefully it'll become easier to access exchanges overall in the future, would be a lot more convenient for me.

as i said back around 1800 or so, BUBBLES!


this is crazy territory. play at your own risk, and don't be surprised when it snaps back violently.

I'm going to laugh my ass off when someday ETC catches up to and surpasses ETH. Lol. Continuing to prove how hard forks can go wrong.

How is it 'going wrong', when each side gets exactly what they bargained for?

This is fresh off the press. That's a lengthy list of signees but some conspicuous names are missing.

Segwit followed by a 2mb hard fork six months later. Will Core toss their cookies or join in the fun?

Australian TV last night. How odd to see this. I wonder when if and when it'll become the standard thing to throw in there.

Gee, they're not showing altcoins. I wonder why?  

Slowly but surely Bitcoin is thrusting itself into the mainstream worldwide.

Geeks may quibble about altcoins, scalability, development politics etc. Meanwhile the masses are just beginning to learn about crypto and they know it as Bitcoin.

At least Ethereum must be added, in my opinion.

Ethereum is bitcoin number two right now.

Until Ethereum declares a known emission schedule, it is useless as a commodity, currency, or any other asset class.

I agree that we are in crazy territory, no matter what, .... but the level of craziness depends, partly on what you are referring to as a bubble... Bitcoin?  or various alt coins or some combination? 

There are different levels of craziness... and in that regard, we cannot always know the extent to which one is a bubble or not, until it pops...

At the moment, looks like pretty decent buying support - but yeah, that could vanish quickly too.

5-19-17.  Sell at 1890 and buy in a pullback to 1775. I lost about 2k in position on that. How can a guy ever make money besides hodl paying for advice like that.

Rule #3: Whatever price you pay for advice in regards to cryptocurrency trading, you're getting ripped off. Even if it's free of charge.

I do agree... when Bitcoin does a 2x in less than 24 hours as zcash just did, or a 75x in a coueple of months just as Ripple did, or a 40x as Bitcoin itself did in 2013... then let's talk about bubble. Until then let's just call it healthy moderated growth.

Signed by few miners and many web wallets. LN will make web wallet business model obsolete.

Almost all important bitcoin companies are missing.

Coinbase is the heavyweight, as is Bitmain and Bitfury of course. And I presume Bitflyer is now the world's leading exchange. Bitpay is also a biggie but it looks like Jihan Wu now has his hands up their posteriors.

Circle is an interesting addition too. I wonder whether they'd reenter.

I wonder what the Core response will be.

[jbreher]

Now I've caught up with the tip, and find nobody has chimed in as of yet...

Other than CLAMS, in the 'coins for free' category, BitCore looks interesting. You can thank me by pointing me to a primer on the easiest redemption mechanism. Byteball, too, I have been told.

[jbreher]

Circle never left. They merely trimmed back on what they offer to the public.

I imagine Allaire was taken thoroughly aback by the vehemence thrown his way upon a simple reshuffling of the priorities of a real company that just happened to be operating in the Bitcoin space. It was as if he owed something to each and every Bitcoiner, rather than a fiduciary duty to his investors. Such a sense of entitlement. I wonder what all the shit-slingers have done to advance the cause in comparison.

I must really pay attention to what's going on and  not just the price as I have no clue what everyone is on about here.

Wtf is clams?

Clams are a POS Crypto mainly used by Just Dice for betting. Their distribution is based on a snapshot of the BTC, LTC and Doge blockchains in May 2014 or so. If you have a private key from back then with a balance then you can claim 4.6 CLAM per key.

Ok I am way behind. I don't know anything about this! Thanks

I see we had our correction du jour while I was out... about $80.

How nice.

The fuck, can't believe I never heard of this until now. Free shitcoins for me, yay.
