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

[flynn]

Please I'd be grateful if someone know something about this :

How come the xchange rate for BTG/BTC on Yobit.io is 0.028 and on Hitbtc.com it is 0.008

Any of you know if there is a catch with Yobit ?

Very simple: you can't deposit btg on yobit

lol  ok makes sense ... thanx

I'll probably just leave the poll for now. I could add more options, but that would screw with the final results.

Fair enough, I wasn't complaining - just wondering what the next one might be.  Maybe a year end price?

Keep up the thankless but noble work, eh?  It is appreciated!

Can't grow about 500-1000 USD / month forever ...

true

but only because at some point USD valuation becomes meaningless

Regulatory approval is not going to be easy. If the CME application is declined, I expect an immediate and significant market reaction.  Be safe out there.

I'm neither the thread starter, nor a billionaire.

Thanks buddy. That will probably be the next poll.

I am really wondering then this bullish run is over.

Can't grow about 500-1000 USD / month forever ...

True; crawling gets old.  It will definitely pick up the pace as we move along.

Though I would like it to keep going for some time

On the other hand: If 2018 is anything like 2017 there will be a couple of more millionairs on the horizon

That is true. Now I am beginning to dread the fall which will inevitably occur. A lot of weak hands will get shaken out at that time.
I would rather that Bitcoin stabilizes at these levels and then goes up steadily.

The bumpy ride is what makes investing so much fun though, at least for me.

Because you have some trouble with an IOTA withdrawal, you urge the rest of the world to leave Bitfinex?

Apparently, IOTA is still a bit too BETA for your nerves (or cryptocurrencies in general). Get a grip.

You, Sir, with all due respect, are an ignorant idiot.
Not going into technical details, go figure out yourself. BETA... I shall get a grip?!

On another note: My Iota withdrawal has been pending for well over 26 hours now after approval.
No reply to my support ticket. No reply to my repeated replies to the same. At best they are running a fractional reserve.

I encourage everybody to at least try to withdraw everything from Bitfinex.
User Wekkel, however, I encourage to deposit everything to Bitfinex, you stupid fucktard.

I hope I'm wrong, but I have a really bad feeling about this one... I can't put my finger on it exactly.

They are trading something derived from bitcoin, not bitcoin itself. Which means it's fictional which means fractional reserve.

It might still have an impact on the real market though... Crypto is a massive clown fiesta after all.

Language, please. Like you said, with all due respect.

It's probably a good idea to read about futures to understand how they can affect the underlying commodity. If there is a price difference, people can make a profit by arbitrage. Who knows what the volume will be on CME or whether that volume will be enough to move the bitcoin price though.

I still cannot see anything but your personal troubles with IOTA.

But keep tying your personal issue with IOTA/Bitfinex to demanding a full user shutdown of Bitfinex. Talking about fucktard ....

Yes but this will still be people "buying" bitcoin without actually really having any coin, I don't like it

From your perspective there is very little difference from people purchasing Bitcoin or altcoins on an exchange. Do you dislike exchanges as well?

They have to buy or sell "actual" bitcoin for the arbitrage to work without risk exposure.

The last two weeks have been a $2k red candle followed by a $2k green candle.  Just let that sink in for a moment.
