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

[Gab0]

You have the balls to say that paying high fees is financial freedom. FREEDOM  
Otherwise I can go back to banksters, why? Different faces, same slavery problem

No, you pay high fees, BECAUSE it is giving you freedom. If you value the cost less than you value the freedom granted, do not use it. It is OPT-IN.
In other words:
The demand for financial sovereignty through the use of the - voluntary(!)- network of Bitcoin is higher than the supply right now, that is why it is expensive, not because of technical limitations. And spam attack, ofc  

Freedom has a cost. No one forces you to pay it.

Ehm... no. You basically are saying
-If I want to voluntarily use the bitcoin network, I must pay those high fees. That doesn't sound like freedom for me. I cannot manage my resources freely if I'm losing a percentage every time besides the spent.



Please rephrase that, because only two alternatives available: fiat banking or the dark side

It's the wrong angle.

What counts for networks is network effect. The bigger the network, the more valuable the network. High fees discourage new users from joining, hence, high fees are detrimental to network effect, and to network value.

We need more throughput. We needed it a year ago.

Good comment. That's what I meant by saying that bitcoin was losing competitiveness with respect to other currencies by sacrificing utility.

According to Adam Smith (apologize for the outdated reference, but I'm still young and I still have a lot to read), the only way that an economic agent has to seize the market, and thus garantee its domain, is understanding the dynamics and processes of competition .

Competence in this sense can be understood perfectly in a Darwinian sense, as the capacity of the economic agent to ensure its subsistence.

That's why the network effect is so important. We are talking about a currency and a reserve of value. If we sacrifice its use as a currency, and its network effect, we lose its attribute as a store of value.

I can not understand the logic, in spite of what I have read, to keep the blocks artificially small, to keep the traffic jams in the network, high rates, and to give cases of uses to other currencies.

(I do not want to be misunderstood [which is very easy due to my bad english], I know it's a long way, but I think that we currently have the tools to not continue to make the situation worse, an increase of 2MB will not centralize the network, and is an option that we currently have while developing others.)

Gab0 all these points were addressed back in 2015. You are making the mistake of thinking you are bringing fresh insight or points to the thread when in fact you are rehashing very old, answered points. Ibian didn't help you any, but then he's a known complete fucking idiot. Suggest you read a whole lot more and put your points in the newbie section. Just because we entertain the odd troll doesn't mean we mean to go on doing so.

I do not pretend to enlighten anyone, but to support my arguments.
Also, if those points that you say have already been dictated and are sufficiently clear, I do not understand why still the differences of opinion between miners, developers, users, etc.
Anyway, could you tell me where I can find information that you say?

where can i see this graph?

Thanks, but how can i figure out if its buy or sell?

How Many btc could they stil have to dump    

Only the first 10,000 of the 160,000 stuck transactions went through.  There are many people who've been trying to sell BTC for over 1 day now, but have had their coins stuck in mempool:

As the remaining 150,000 stuck transactions get processed, we could see continued dumping.  

I think we'll see BTC fall to a low between $3,000 to $4,500 over the next few weeks, before the BCH FOMO wears off for this wave and we get a significant rebound.

How do you know they are sell orders? I tried to buy and failed (or at least, haven't seen any yet)

They aren't all sell orders.  Only some of them are.  The exact % is speculation.

Please, i can´t read all that was written in Wallobserver in a timely manner.
What was the gist of it ?
Can somebody help me out, thanks.

they're neither. they're transactions waiting to be processed.

I appreciate this kind of comments. Your work and research will benefit us all, thank you very much.

One shill kissing another shill's ass. How cute.
Can you two guys take your lovefest elsewhere, like the big blocker shill forum?

We need more throughput. Segwit is not nearly enough. I hope we can agree that far at least?

Sorry for not thanking your theories about conspiracies, empty phrases and personal desacretitaciones.
Also, have not you ignored me? Do it again please.

[Ibian]

Also, if those points that you say have already been dictated and are sufficiently clear, I do not understand why still the differences of opinion between miners, developers, users, etc.

Miners and users have different goals. Miners want to make as much profit as possible. We want to keep our money in our pockets.

That aside, there are a growing number of people who want to see bitcoin fail. Some people just want to drag others down. And of course, most people, regardless of faction, are emotionally invested in their personal narrative. Beware of anyone using emotional terms like "bigblocktards" and the like. Arguments matter people, not emotional outbursts.

[Lopumbo]

you were lied to in expecting that btc (core) is "bitcoin"

[Torque]

Ibian, there was never a time when Bitcoin users or even the Core developers, denied that more throughput or lower fees were needed.

BUT... it is completely disingenuous to bring up "more throughput needed" EVERY TIME that the network gets spammed by bad actors and create a massive backlog, but never bring it up when the network is operating normally and the mempool is nearly empty (which is like 95% of the entire year!).

Can we at least agree on that?

gravity has to/is clearly works near instantly through the galaxy, otherwise it would fall apart.

Recent reception of gravitation waves simultaneously to light signals from a distant galaxy's dramatic dwarf stars collapsing one into another prove that wrong.

And quantum entanglement cannot be used to send information.

By definition, quantum entanglement IS information exchange in zero time regardless of distance. Changing the state of 'A' instantly changes the state of 'B', and any binary state system can be used for information exchange.

If you really are interested, you should check out alternate explanations as well.
Standard physics explanation on gravity is a logical fallacy resulting from circular argument:

Mass of particles generates a gravity field in the 3d spatial space (whatever that is, it is undefined in material terms), and particles have mass because the gravity field of other particles "pulls" on them in the 3d spatial space.

It is a circular argument, a closed loophole of thought. Does not explain the origin of mass in matter (no, Higgs-bozons are a hoax, which assumes the 3d spatial space has magical abilities, non measurable ofc).

Found these questions popping up, interesting.


1) What is segwit?

2) Who is behind segwit?

3) Who is Blockstream?

4) Is bitcoin broken?

5) Why is it not?

6) Why do they say it is?

7) How long has block size debate being going on?

8 ) What are side chains?

9) How do side chains solve blocksize debate?

10) How does network, storage and cpu upgrades help blocksize?

11) Why is bitcoin unique to other coins?

12) Who would want bitcoin broken?

13) Why does bitcoin lag in software development?

14) What is unique about the bitcoin software environment?

15) Why is trust and transparency important?

I bring it up every time we have this discussion. Fees should be low enough to be meaningless for the average paycheck-to-paycheck worker bee. It isn't and hasn't been for a while.

So what's happening today. Anything interesting?

not really, little flash crash to mid channel

seems to be a lot of chatter about alt coins but meh

There is one very simple answer. Segwit makes bitcoin sidechains possible. Only sidechains can solve the scaling problem. There won't be one solution for the scaling problem. There will be many sidechains. Because different people have different ideas about money. Competition between bitcoin sidechains will show us the way.

Of course I disagree, but we are in the wrong forum for this. If you're are looking for some credible faster-than-light information transport schemes, I suggest you check the work of Guenter Nimtz with the tunnel effect ... for example http://startrek.ehabich.info/ftl.htm
