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

There's a conference in Toronto in December I'm considering. It's at a swank hotel. I can shower in the room.

But if there are groupies...

So overall crypto market cap is rising, and Bitcoin's marketcap is also rising while alts are falling.

Poor poor lil' alties. I guess that flippening coup d'etat just wasn't meant to be.

I'm thinking go to Argentina. It's in the part of the world that has the best combination of not being completely pozzed and not caught between nuclear powers, has a reasonable climate and a decent demographic compared to other places with similar climates. Looking for critique, tell me where I am wrong.

I have friends who moved to Argentina in the 80's.  It was fun for them to watch their restaurant tab changes by the time they finish their meal.  So everyone just used USD, if they have access.  With Macri in charge, things are supposed to be looking up again, but those wealthy Argentinians do use Xapo's Swiss bunker to store their BTC.  So who knows, maybe in addition to a history of bank "bail-in" and pension seizure, maybe one day they will come for your private keys too.

What was your point?  To lecture?  If I have a ledger nano s and a trezor, then seems like I would have a sufficient quantity of coins there, too, no?  Maybe I have some coins and other value on exchanges for trading?  How is a guy going to trade coins if he does not put some coins (and/or value) on exchanges...   You have no idea regarding my exposure and you are assuming and giving unsolicited advice.. was that your point? 

If your point was to share information about possible places to keep coins, then that was helpful.. but going on an unsolicited lecture still seems quite presumptuous to me and you do seem to be assuming facts that are not in evidence.  no?   

I am sorry to have offended you.  I wish you luck with your new exchanges.

Well, really it seems that you were not making any point - because no one really should believe that anyone, such as me, is offended from some goofball comments on the interwebs.   

Regarding my "new exchanges", I attempted to register and get verified on both Kraken and Bittrex, and Kraken verified me quickly and Bittrex has gotten hung up on some algorithm in regards to my verification documents and their support is not responding to my ticket in which i request assistance.

So, for me, it is good, for now, to have a place to send some of my Bitfinex value (that is Kraken), and I might lighten up my exchange load a bit too.  Currently I have  about 30% of my total value on various exchanges.. including the about 8% of my value that is currently on Bitfinex (all dollars have been converted), and has to be moved before November 9.

No. And this is the last exchange I choose to have with you.  First I tried to be helpful.  Then cordially offered an apology which you poo-pood above.

I made several good points in help to you.

1.  Ledger already has an ETC wallet.           
2.  Ledger is developing a Monero wallet.
3.  Leaving Crypto on exchanges is dangerous. 

Maybe its a matter of perspective.  Risking 30% of my crypto holdings is unacceptable to me.

Your snarky comments are tiresome. 

Save your time with any response - as you have made my very short ignore list.

It's more a matter of profit. Counterparty risk is not an infinite risk - if you can make a greater % return each year than the % risk of an exchange going kaput, then open your sails and trade the seas.

When you make a response in a public thread, then you are not making a private comment, and therefore, I am not the only audience for your comments, and you are not the only audience for mine.  Seems that you would have understood that by now.

Accordingly, I don't give a ratt's ass whether you read my comments or not or respond to them or not.  I am still going to respond to the extent that I believe pertinent to any point that I might want to make.

All three of your earlier points are good points, except the patronizing lecture mode that you got into regarding my own abilities to assess my risks in regard to bitcoin and your supposed knowledge of my financial situation. 

There are a lot of us who are dealing with anywhere between 5x and 20x in BTC profits depending on when we got in and how we managed our BTC (and/or crypto) holdings, and therefore, supporting the various BTC exchange community with some of those funds (in my case, as I stated, around 30% of my funds are currently distributed across exchanges does not seem to be an unfair risk to me - and even profitable and a hedging method that I employ; however, I accept that other people are going to come to differing perspectives, including some folks who put 100% of their value on exchanges or even engage in leveraged trading... who the fuck are we to judge the differing perspectives... even though I personally am: 1) a bit averse to any kind of leverage trading (except I have used some of the 0% interest credit cards to bolster my cash flow.. hahahahaha, which ultimately meant that I had used some of that  extra cashflow to buy bitcoin) 2) disinclined to buy very many alts - such as more than 5% of my total crypto holdings, and 3) disinclined to sell large portions of my bitcoin or to buy bitcoin in big chunks, unless I feel really certain that the price is going up/down more than 10% (which almost never seems to be any kind of feeling that i get), and therefore that is probably why my BTC/fiat ratio has (so far) never gone below 88% and I frequently, in recent times feel both flush in BTC and flush in fiat  - albiet some of that is on exchanges.

Taking days off and watching the chart without caring about what your boss thinks of you. Priceless

One can't never be too thankful to Bitcoin!

Talking price I've been using Fibonacci retracements since the end of 2016. I would say they are 85% accurate so far. I should have used them to trade and get more coins. But I'm an hodler
These prices are nothing... yet.

Response to me from Bitfinex:

Thank you for contacting us.

Provided that you are not resident in the United States, you are free to remain an individual customer of Bitfinex if you so choose.

Yes, we do accept an account from a U.S. business.

So if you are a US resident you can always just register as a business and use that for your account.

Not being a resident I'm good. I still plan on moving most of my funds off (I'd plan on doing it anyway) but will still leave some income producing margin funding.

So finally, no more electroneum referral links!

I gave my 2 month notice this week. I can leave any time but I like the people at my company and wanted to give them plenty of time to find a replacement when I leave.

I don't do shit at work any more. Today I responded to an e-mail and looked at a problem on one of the systems. That's all I did this week.

Feels good to not care about getting fired.
