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

[suzanne5223]

Oh shit !

$3,420 !!!

I was surprised either because the price per bitcoin was at $3360 yesterday and $3447 after some few hours. I voted for the $4000+ spot cause a lot local store are currently accepting bitcoin plus a prepaid SIM card using just bitcoin was launched and all this will help in bullish the price  of bitcoin.

I get a little nervous when MSM starts actually turning pro-bitcoin. I always think, "Why are they suddenly promoting it? What's in it for them?"

Congratulations for being the only non-idiot in the thread.  Bitcoin is a tool for them to try and keep people out of the highley strained metals market only being propped up temporarily by rehypothecation while also helping acclimate people into the de-cashing of society and integration into a cashless society control grid.  They'll allow bitcoin to go up a bit then mercilessly implode it and claim "Oh, so sad, that darn bitcoin is just not dependable and was used by too many launderers and criminals anyway.  We'll have to issue a government coin that's much more dependable with built in KYC so people won't lose money!"  

Too bad for them this plan doesn't work.  Western investors are literally mentally retarded and metals demand drops off a cliff when the price is low while demand is huge in the rest of the world like China right now.
Westerners always jump in to FOMO buy at the top and don't buy anything at the bottom.

I'm afraid this metals shit will never pan out, sorry. And I actually hold a fair amount of physical PM's. Good thing I got into bitcoin.

Kind of irresponsible to be recommending dead-in-the-water metals. Too much of a long shot unless you're praying for an apocalypse.

Much better to get into bitcoin, turn a profit, then buy a few coins and bars for fun but they'll never really amount to much anyways.

Not sure why you push gold and silver so much. Its kind of laughable. What a shitty investment atm. Price will probably drop lol.

Bitcoin slow grinds to ATH

unless you're praying for an apocalypse.

I used to, but apocalypse is a young man's game...getting too old to live on iguana on a stick and peanut butter.

Trillions of dollars of central bank money printing.

SegWit Lock-in threshold expected at ≈Tue, 08 Aug 2017 19:14:34 GMT.

I am almost 100% confident that this will take us to a new ATH today.
In case someone doesn't know where to check that information: https://www.xbt.eu/.

[GHCoins45]

What's the current ATH? or where I can find this info?

Not much more to say.

3000 euro soon to be broken on Kraken. I can hardly contain my excitement.
This is gentleman.
Queue the rocket and train gifs please 😀

Bitstamp 3478

This is the most reliable and trusted ATH as I believe.

I use bitcoin price ticker on iOS and it tells you there. Easy to follow on the go.

In all seriousness, what do we think the peak of this current rally is going to be before there is a decent drop/pull back for some profit taking? 

I'm stuck in the middle of wanting to sell one or two and obviously want to buy back on the dip. 

You should always sell a bit when there are steep rises in the price; however, the difficulty is not selling too much.  If you only have a few coins, and you sell 1 or 2 coins, then you are gambling too much.

I systematically sell about 1% of my holdings for every 10% rise in price, and I buy back in similar amounts.

I have been employing my system since about $250 all the way up to current prices $3450, but I still have 92% in bitcoin and about 8% in cash, so I buy back on dips and I also have increased my holdings through such practices of buying on the way down and selling on the way up. 

When I say incrementally, I started selling in about$10 increments, then I went to $20 increments and then to $50 and currently I am transitioning from $50 to $100 increments.

Anyhow, there is no exact science, I recommend incrementalism so you do not gamble too much or feel like you have to obsess about the price.  You become a kind of bot and largely follow your system.. and don't hold out too much because over the past few years, I have found that it is nearly impossible to predict when the price is going to reverse, even though sometimes you can tweak a little extra heare and thee because you can get pretty decent ideas about direction.. but not with anything even close to approaching 90% certainty.

Breaking News: A sudden shortage of hookers and blow has rattled Wall Street, as a bunch of nerds and anarchists around the world look for fun new outlets for their newfound wealth.

Talking about nerds, Ignition Creative and Blockchain Entertainment will produce a reality docu-series.

The series will be about exploring bitcoin regulation.

CEO of Ignition Creative, Martin Kistler, has expressed his company’s “fascinat[ion with]… the story of cryptocurrency and how it could change the consumer world as we know it. We want this series to really get under the hood of one of the most relevant industrial changes happening today”.

Will it be that in the future those responsible for making films will be able to explore the bitcoin world? I mean, there's so much history to explore: Silk Road, Mt. Gox, HANSA Market, AlphaBay Market, BTC-E, Alexander Vinnik. that would make a good movie.

It's finally hit me.


This is bananas isn't it? 3400?

Wtf

[Lauda]

What's the current ATH? or where I can find this info?

You can, trivially, check on https://bitcoinity.org. BitStamp ATH $3490.

https://twitter.com/CNBCFastMoney/status/894680240890548225

The software upgrade that he is referring to is Segwit, and it locks in today.

This is bananas isn't it? 3400?

No. I want $4k today.

Wtf

you know it is ... this thread is epitomy of stunned silence. 

When I was estimating stops at 800-900, 1600-1800, 3200-3600, etc on the exponential increase wave counts I'm pretty sure most readers thought i was insane ... and here we are, bitcoin is insane and it hasn't changed since day 1.

The exponential growth patterns of networks is mathematically predictable but the numbers seem too huge to be believable to most when applied to an asset price. Then when you add in the volatility that comes with human (emotionally-charged) valuation/pricing the downswings are massive enough to create a lot of uncertainty, fear and doubt about the secular exponential growth trend. So far, however, it has proved to be inexorable.

Goodmourning my BTCitcoinfriends!

Just woke up and saw the price for 1 BTC is at 2960 euro's at Kraken! From my perspective this is only the beginning for today! In about 9-9,5 hours Segwitx2 locks in, i expect  the real rocket taking off in about 6-8 hours! Target: $4000, 3388 Euro.

Enjoy the ride! and remember: HODL!

Fiat currencies falling off a cliff as fiat currencies bubble is popping.

Expect dramatic interest rate increase by the Fed, ECB, BOJ, BOE, and the rest of the zoo.

[steelboy]

So, 3.5k is within smelling distance. I have a feeling that we could see a pull back to 3-3.2 after Segwit is activated.

I hope I'm wrong though.  

No one answered my question a few pages back either. Has anyone actually done anything with the fact that Segwit is activated on Litecoin? How long should we expect to wait for people to use the tech on the Bitcoin blockchain?
