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

[Searing]

It's true, Chinese mining crackdown incoming. Jihan Wu didn't show up for the mining panel today at ETCsummit, he was 'sick'  

Still recovering from this - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IfAnshCKW9s&feature=youtu.be

I've no idea what this would mean for BTC and or Alts...started a thread on this

befuddled on what it may mean long-term

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2401962.0

It does look at first glance, something that China crypto miners could not get around forever thou...

feel free to comment in the above thread...I've no clue....(this whole month has made my head hurt ...with all the fud/drama/etc in crypto)

take the poll....

(ignore my thread..likely everyone else will)

Hope he gets better soon and I mean that most sincerely, as he has plenty to do.
Is there a 12 step program for recovering megalomaniacs in his neck of the woods?

had to reply to this...DAMN IT! ...you made me 'spray pop out of my nose' reading this

It is a good point....what happens to a megalomaniac when it all goes off the rails? Does he become the opposite? Ghandi perhaps? Does he double down on the Meglamanic option?

(gets popcorn will be interesting week ..if this whole cheap electric china crackdown has any credibility..this will be quite the sh*t show

The head of that company has clarified that they made mistakes on the statement, as they are not a government administrative department, and have no rights to determine whether bitcoin mining is illegal

This guy tends to be accurate.

Again, I know zip..but at first glance still looks like they price of electric in some manner for bitcoin operators (and/or other crypto farms) is gonna
go up in a big way at least in that area of China

and if there is more money to be made....it will likely spread

that is of course unless the electric power generators get a 'cut of the action' for their excess power ...ie more locked down legally....

(hey, it is what I'd do....start tossing cash about at them ..see what sticks)

Some random guy somewhere in China or somewhere makes some random statement that could be construed as Bitcoin FUD. Then backtracks on that random statement as unofficial and just his personal random thoughts.

Got it.

A post - rumor? - here a few weeks ago already talked about some electric co. in China shutting down energy supply to miners. Might have been Szechuan, though I'm not sure. Semi-old news used as fud/fomo tinder?

The guy from the power company wanted some cheap coins.

I've driven one very briefly. A proper tractor so it is. Undeniably fun to look at though.

I hope no politician can buy bitcoins. So when their currency collapses they die cold and hungry on the streets.



Too much?

You do know that there is such a thing as libertarian politicians right.

I'm pretty sure Ron and Rand Paul own bitcoins. There's probably a bunch of others in the U.S. that do too.

A couple of Ukrainian politicians also own bitcoins and disclosed their holdings:

Guys, my email gets filled with spam, no end. Do you have the same problem ? it´s like this, since bitcointalk supposedly got hacked, i think. Do i have to live with that ?
 From now on, when i log in: No, no, really not !

Allright, i just have to man up, just thought, there´s a trick to this.

They got me good.


It has to do with the amount of bullshit you´re talking, i´m completely convinced  

totally, I recently let my domain expire and soon will recapture it, I am hoping all the bounces in the interim will let me reactivate that address with lower ICO spam

Referring to Bitcoin exchanges, companies, and big block shills... this made me laugh
