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

Not taking sides in a war is usually smart, but not always, and this is one of those exceptions.

Taking side in a war is usually dumb, but not always. Not taking one is dumbest (or malign neutrality perhaps)
If one is measuring his/her acts based on ideas, that's going to end badly

BTC/BCH squarehead: "But, but the others..."
Honey badgers: I DON'T CARE!!

PS: No exceptions

Have to laugh at this! ROFL!!!!  

Time for Bitcoin Cash Doubleplusungood

This whole episode has been so entertaining - will it ever end or is this just how crypto is forever more?

Anyhow, we got a nice green candle yesterday, and perhaps another one today if we are lucky. Go Bitcoin go.

Wherever there's money, there are also people that will use any means to get it! It's not the crypto world. It's just how people are!

But do the share trading forums have this drama and memes etc? (I've never looked)

Anyhow I just noticed I'm a full member now too - what a happy day.

Don't take it to heart. It's just the first time we had a fork! Next time will be easier or not noticed at all!

That entire pdf is the biggest load of crap I've ever seen. It sounds like it was written by a 3rd grader. And there's a lot of "We the Management will manage things better for you" garbage rhetoric. So centralized management will decide what's best for the lowly masses. Got it.

Our pic'a'nic bear really is not arguing in good faith. At least we see through him.

Seems you _might_ be referring to me, though I have no idea why.

because you are disingenuous troll bear that eats other people's picnic food and acts like you are doing a favor... that's why.    

Am I budding my nose into someone else's business again?






NOT!!!

Bitcoin is not upon an idea. IT IS THE IDEA. Not exactly the same.
About the other concern, well everyone is free

On another note, just to show how laughable all this fork thing is, BT2 (or segwit2x) still has a price and is being traded though it doesn't exist, nor will it ever!

Reuters reports, former Fortress macro hedge fund manager Mike Novogratz - who we most recently profiled here - told Reuters Global 2018 Investment Outlook Summit in New York that he bought $15 to $20 million worth of Bitcoin over the weekend in that recent pullback.

Of course we do. All bitcoin did was retrace a little as it had reached the upper bound of its channel. Of course, this was presented as a failure by the forkers!

If Monday comes and we're still bleeding down like Peter R. imagines we will be, I'm going to start daytarding. Simple as that.

That is why I follow this thread.

Continued hillarity!!!!   


You never learn, BMB, do you?


How much money you gotta lose before you reconsider your temptation to trade?  especially when you don't have any clue about how to structure your orders.   

Well, good for the rest of us that you will likely sell at the bottom and buy at the top, and it is good for the ecosystem to have some of you "brave" folks out there.

Why are you reacting so emotionally?  You have held bitcoin for a long time, and so you would have equal coins on both the Bitcoin Core and Bitcoin Cash chains.  If Bitcoin evolves as peer-to-peer digital cash, with low fees and reliable confirmation, you win; if Bitcoin evolves as digital gold, with high fees and transaction friction, you win too.

I believe in the original vision for Bitcoin as described in the white paper: as a peer-to-peer electronic cash system.  I am working to help shape bitcoin to that vision and will continue to do so.

Could I be wrong?  Sure.  Maybe it actually is good to have $20 fees (soon to be $50) and a network that can only process 3 transactions per seconds (one thousand times less than Visa).  

And that is why I hold both BTC and BCH.  

i react emotionally because YOU play games with my live savings. why the fuck aren´t you creating just another altcoin to realize your great vision? why tamper with bitcoin? if you are not happy with it, leave it. well, you sort of did, but you try to steal as much juice of it as possible, trying to hurt bitcoin as much as possible.

now you expecting me to hug you for it? your game is called hijacking and it is evil.

From my perspective, it is Blockstream/Core that are tampering with Bitcoin, by refusing to allow a much-needed capacity increase to reduce fees and allow for continued growth, and then by fundamentally changing the structure of the BTC coin by adding segwit.  

Bitcoin Cash represents the original vision for Bitcoin as peer-to-peer electronic cash.  I will continue work to realize this vision, and help resist the hijack attempt by Blockstream and Core.

Bitcoin gains it's value by proven exclusion of any third party intervention in a value exchange network between peers.
This is achieved in "The original vision" by that both the sender and receiver peer can independently get a proof by running a full node that there is no double spending on a transaction between them. No need for a trusted third party can be only achieved by this independent verification process, which needs the physically possible minimum technical requirements for running a full node for the most participants. A large block size excludes most peers doing this, essentially destroying the very core of bitcoin's value.

There was nothing about how the cost of transactions (fees) would be "fair" in the white paper; the costs of doing transactions in a voluntary, opt-in value exchange network is entirely upon the peers do decide between themselves.

You are basically saying that the free market is not working to establish the subjective valuation of the actors to reach a price of transacting. You think you can "spend their money better than they do".
That is the problem, not the vaporware you shill.

New slogan in here next year:

This is Bitcointalk, not a fucking Bitcoin forum!  :roto2:

Shame on you

This is the fundamental truth that I think holes the bigblock argument below the waterline.  Thank you for formulating it so succinctly.  Of course they retort that low transaction throughput will force most transactions on to L2 or L3 solutions, thus reintroducing a "trusted" third party into the equation.

I say, fine, for low value transactions I have no issue with taking my chances with some gatekeeper, or using a lesser coin.  But when I want to move a significant lump of value, bet your ass I will gladly pay whatever the fee at that time is to take the responsibility for the security of that transaction myself.

With simplified payment verification technology (Section 8 of white paper), users can be their own banks, verify their own transactions, and send payments to anyone, trustlessly and without a middleman.  Users do not need to run network nodes.

Here are slides from a talk I gave this summer explaining how this brilliant technique created by Satoshi works:

Satoshi's design is massively scalable.

The news links below, but in Korean.
Basically 3000 people show up at Bithumb's Gangnam HQ to protest that lovely Gox style candlestick from 2.85 mio KRW ($2600) to 0.25 mio KRW ($220).  The presidential palace is demanding an investigation into the incident.  Hope that Vers et al. won't get a visit from those Jopok anytime soon.

Any news about what is happening at Bithumb? That's the korean exchange where most of the BCH trading/pumping happened I think.

 I was thinking that maybe JJG has gone to Korea to kick some ass.  Haven't seen him here since the shit show began.

hahahaha


It' is nice to be missed...
