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

[BlindMayorBitcorn]

i could tell you about a certain brazilian academic who professed ad nauseam that bitcoin was a despicable ponzi, not in any way comparable to government-backed real money, despite having had his savings wiped out by the banco central do brasil no fewer than three times in as many decades.

but i'll spare you the pain.

We go way back with the Professor. He was one of our classiest trolls.

And if such a theoretical solution ends up working so greatly, then why would it not be implemented into bitcoin.

Perhaps because Bitcoin progress is so broken that we can't even change a simple constant.

Well, yeah.  Maybe in the end I was asking a rhetorical question because I understand that the nature of truly decentralized is not so easy to accomplish.. even to accomplish what would likely be logical, straightforward and a seemingly no brainer.  There are always going to be a number of folks that disagree with what seems to be most logical, straight forward, and seemingly a no brainer - whether they disagree for valid reasons or merely because they are intent on attempting to destroy value and compete against with some other system.. which seems to be the case with many current alts - they believe it is in their interest to possibly succeed by attempting to undermine bitcoin.,, which might not be untrue.

My shtf plan is mobility. First sign of bad things coming and I find my next country to live in. And they all take bitcoin.

What do you call a sign of bad things?

That is likely a per-country call. I live in South Korea so the first confrontation between North Korea/South Korea(US) that is likely to trigger a war will be followed by my logging into cheapair.com and find the first flight out of here.

If I was in the US, things like passing laws that would likely trigger an event or the debt bubble finally pops, or something happens where energy is disrupted. Any war with Russia or any country who can actually hit things with their bombs is an exit event.

Though my line in the sand that made me leave the US was the tax on being alive (Obamacare).

As a foreigner, may I ask your opinion about South America? Related to signs of bad things.

There are several South American countries. A 1000+% inflation rate is a good exit sign. If I lived in Venezuela and could leave I would.

Actually there are only a dozen. My interest is specially about how Brasilian political and economic crisis is seen worldwide.

Outside of Brazil we are all given propaganda that one side or the other want us to hear. From what I see they got rid of a corrupt socialist leader and elected a pro business leadership. Usually when I see pro socialist news attacking something it is usually a good thing. I have some hope for the new leaders to turn things away from the bad road it was going down. I had several Brasilian friends and girlfriend in Germany. They love the culture but do not want to go back mainly due to how unsafe and corrupt it is.

We are indeed given diffferent points of view, of course it depends on how much research you want to be doing to be able to discern what is propaganda (an opinion from people who expressly publish that opinion to further their own agenda) and what is more solid journalism. What doesn't help is the recent trend of spreading FUD and discrediting science and journalism, by those who want to use pseudo-science and pseudo--journalism to further their own agenda.

Anyway, from what I see pro-business corruption is increasing, the old boys network is taking over again and as a consequence a small elite will allocate more riches to itself at the expense of the rest. The Lava Jato scandal is just an example of this.

Edit: 20k Yuan, here we come!

[Armando]

<900 BTC left on stamp until 3k!

damn) I'm even scared to imagine the new "highest height" to wait for after 3k

[Meuh6879]

[leowonderful]

Seems I have missed a lot in the day that I was gone. Hopefully media will stay away from this so we don't get another correction at 3000, fine with me as it seems we will keep going up.

[Meuh6879]

april 2013 : 180 Euros
december 2014 : 900 Euros

ratio = 5x
so, the next stop is 4500 euros.



5000 USD.

[BillyBobZorton]

Well, we may hit $3000 hit pretty soon after all. A possible theory explaining a bull run now is that people want to buy bitcoin pre-august 1st, because after august 1st, transacting any bitcoin is not ideal as long as the conflict is not solved.

Do you get paid in legacy or 148 coins? etc

[White sugar]

955 BTC until $3000

now only 890

problem is, the orderbook can't be trusted, anyone can put a huge wall at any moment

[Ibian]

Another ath. How droll.
