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

[Arriemoller]

Most Westerners seem to me to get stupider by the minute.

It's probably just you getting smarter.

[Ibian]

But not one with the insight to have any clue where this Bitcoin market is going, or why. 

Its going above $5k before the year is out.

ps. do you know what my forecast was at the beginning of the year ? $1500 or thereabouts. WTF do I know.

I don't know.

Neither do I buddy.

But google does.
Intelligence quotient (IQ)
Definition:
Measure of a person's cognitive capacity relative to his or her peers. It is computed by dividing the person's mental age (as measured on a scale such as Stanford-Binet Scale) by his or her chronological age, and multiplying with 100.

What is cognitive capacity?

Is bcc forming a cup and handle? Cause it almost looks like it. Is it?

The question is what happens if mining becomes more profitable there for a while, and then back, and so forth, and the consequences.

What is cognitive capacity?

Again, google.
"Cognition is "the mental action or process of acquiring knowledge and understanding through thought, experience, and the senses."[1] It encompasses processes such as knowledge, attention, memory and working memory, judgment and evaluation, reasoning and "computation", problem solving and decision making, comprehension and production of language. Human cognition is conscious and unconscious, concrete or abstract, as well as intuitive (like knowledge of a language) and conceptual (like a model of a language). Cognitive processes use existing knowledge and generate new knowledge."

Okay, but is it located in the elbow or the left butt cheek? And how many jigawatts is one cognitive capacity?

But we do know what IQ is.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intelligence_quotient

My IQ was properly measured when I was a youngling at 160. I spend most of my days staring at a bush and worrying about my next visit to the toilet. The only thing IQ indicates is the ability to pass IQ tests.

There is a strong correlation between high IQ and wealth.

No. At least no if you get rid of under 90 IQ individuals. Over that point (the majority) there's not such a strong correlation at all.

If they bring the BCH/BTC price ratio anywhere near 3:1, 2:1 or even 1:1, I'm dumping all of that shitcoin.  

They better be careful what they wish for.

No worries. Pretty soon after SkyNet happens, AI computers and androids will have IQs that outstrip

Creativity ? Independance of thought ? Courage ? Originality ?

Who decides what is of value ?

The question isn't so much one of how to measure intelligence - its one of how do you reach a consensus on what it is that you are supposed to be measuring.

In the real world there is no consensus - but the predominant/prevailant view is that held by those that are in the positions (that have the power) to define . That is, it is defined according to power relations.

The whole system is dysfunctional and one that is stifling to growth and creativity.

The intelligent are those that have the most money ?

Where could that possibly go wrong


Human resources are being grossly laid to waste/underutilised. I can imagine a future where each individuals strengths are allowed to flourish - and where we can all reap the benefits.
How many Einsteins, Tolstoy's, Wittgensteins are there out there that have not only never been given the chance - they have never even believed that they were able ? Very many I would say.

What?

I said no strong correlation between high IQ and high wealth. Of course if we only consider people with way below average IQ there is a strong correlation, but not so strong correlation when comparing individuals with above average IQ.
