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

[gentlemand]

We clearly have had different experiences of marriage.

You two should marry each other and learn something together. That's the beauty of matrimony.

[Ibian]

If you are married, there is a transferable capital gains tax allowance. So if your wife doesn't book any capital gains, that's £22k tax free.
It's one of the only tax benefits of being married.
There are other benefits of course. Just not related to the tax system.

What are the other benefits??

Thanks.

Rjclarke2000= married man.

Not going to get into that whole discussion here. Hopefully if you're happily married and have been together for a while you have figured it out for yourself.

That's because it is a discussion you know you would lose.

We clearly have had different experiences of marriage.

How old are you and how old is your wife?

This is relevant, no need to look for excuses to get defensive.

My primary concern is that when the "perfect" time comes to sell, it might not actually be possible to do so. Exchanges are not as robust as they should be.
My secondary concern is that the dumps might come while I am asleep, most of the action happens when I'm tucked away in bed.

This is why I sold my trading stash, and I'm very content with that decision.

Your antagonistic replies - "sorry for your loss" "sorry for your short" - triggered me and in a few moments of weakness, I responded.
20 minutes of my life I will never get back. Another regret.



Someone... please... talk about walls or something.

Not defensive. Just aware this is very off-topic and supposed to be getting something constructive done. Unwilling to open a can of worms that - like bitcoin - is likely to be pre-settled in a person's mind rather than liable to be changed by discussion (or, as it happens, evidence - there's plenty of academic studies on it).
Since you asked, I'm in my late 30s and she's 3.5 years older than me.

[JimboToronto]

Alright. We got a lovely little $80 dip. It ain't much but it's better than nothing.

We've got to keep this rally honest and not let it run wild.

Okay, we can head up to a new ATH now, and I can go back to bed.

See y'all at the crack of noon.

[rafanadal]

10k BTC is not a dream anymore.

we are not even halfway there

[ErisDiscordia]

So nobody cares about that 400BTC dump just now on Stamp? It's bouncing right back atm...yawn. Back to discussing the merits of marriage.

[harrymmmm]

What the fuck ? I go to sleep for a few hours, and wake up to see it's gone up another $150 up to ~$2,664 ??!??

Aye carumba !

At least half of us have no idea what's happening.

My two halves are beside themselves.

The rest of me is deluded.

[soullyG]

I'm marrying my Bitcoin stash at this rate

Ok so she's too old to realistically leave and find someone else, and you likely got married before divorce court became what it is now. That's why you are happy to defend marriage. Your wife is TOO OLD for you to worry about her splitting with your shit.

For the rest of us, it doesn't take an academic study to figure out that getting married today is about the most self-destructive thing a man could do.

[criptix]

I just want to say one thing:

We will never see 400 $ again.

Oh the memories

So, you're not making too many assumptions there then!

[machasm]

Actually it might be worth getting a divorce now before the price gets any higher!
Could end up giving away more in the future

Humans are not complicated and hypergamy and sexual market value are well understood. And you didn't contradict me.

I can't think of anything more self-destructive.

[leowonderful]

Another tiny correction before we move up the ladder again. Keeping us legit for a little while longer, we might even be able to hit +%20 today. We've already doubled in the last month according to bitcoinwisdom, though, not shabby at all.

Oh the memories  

Yep, and I was buying 'em at that time too. While this forum was a virtual ghost town sledge pool, with trolls either yelling "cheap coinz!" or "it's going lower bro" or "bitcoin is done, finished".

Tim Draper was buying too. And all the other U.S. Marshall auction winners.

Hopefully some of the newbs will learn a lesson from this. But somehow I doubt it.

Well, too bad that you take comments personally.

You do what you want, but seems like you are rationalizing... you can set orders.. but yeah, if you over invest then you worry about the market moving against you... of course.

I don't leverage, but I also make sure that I have enough cash to pay my bills for a few months... even in worse case cashflow scenarios.. but yeah, if I use some of those funds for betting on bitcoin, then yeah, I would not want to hold those funds in bitcoin if I need the money ..

[simmo77]

<snippety do dahhhh, snippety day>

<facepalm>

"rationalising" - nope, not seeking any justification from you or anyone else.
"over investing" - nope, my only investment was in a few graphics cards, my time to set them up and the electricity they consumed while mining coins.
"worry about the market moving against you" - well, yes. Don't we all?
"cashflow issues", "need the money" - nope, I have a day job, BTC is a hobby.

Also, I don't trust exchanges with my money - I've lost coins on MintPal and narrowly avoided losing coins on Gox - so I only buy and sell OTC, I can't set any orders.

Any other wild assumptions you want to make?

[Wekkel]

Calculation I made yesterday:



Assumes halving of time for price to double. Anyway, if this moves to $10,000 according to this curve, I'm out on 14 June 2017
