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

I think there is much more than 1M bitcoins lost.

and when you google for these lost bitcoins stories most are really dated numbers in terms of value.
You literally have to multiply the reported value 15 fold making it even more "head shaking worthy." (for want of a better term)
So for example this familiar story
I'm sure most of the legendaries/heroes in here have heard about the
7500 bitcoins lost valued at over a reported $5 million then that are now worth around $70 million.
And this is just one story of many.
It's mind blowing when you think about it.

No one takes into account the dust left behind everywhere. 

I have one inaccessible wallet containing enough for a good night out year's salary.  The other one has only dust  enough for a really good night out.  Still only makes me smile and shake my head at my own stupidity.

To be revisited after the next batch of zeroes are handed out.   

Well that sucks my friend, really sorry to hear that.
Lost password? I only ask as that's what gets me paranoid now, due to an issue I recently had
when I set a password on a newly installed electrum wallet.
I SWEAR I had it right when trying to get back in...even written down... but nope. locked out. PHUUUUUK!!!
Should have tested BEFORE loading wallet with funds... duhhh! stupid phukkin me!!!

My recovery seed saved me...THAT was correct, phew!...thank phuk for that...Lesson learned.

Being in charge of one's own banking security has its merits to be sure.
 Just be aware of the downfalls as they can be costly indeed...

Oh, i know that sinking feeling very well, when your heart slips down into your bowel.
Also on a newly created electrum wallet, when claiming BTG from the old one, but it wasn´t the wallets fault.

I use a password-manager where i create 100+ chars passwords. When i wanted to back it up onto external drive, i had to close it first, and imo i saved the latest changes in it, i.e. new passwords for my new wallets.
But nope, they where gone ! !
Had to use the toilet immediately.  

Thankfully, i had the seeds written down. Phew.

My stupidity. Allways secure and backup newly created wallet-passwords first, BEFORE loading money into it, like "sirazimuth" says, and don´t hurry things !

I know, i know, you guys are not thaat stupid. (really never ? ? )

The walls were gone LONG ago. I remember when Gox was breaking past $180 in Oct 2013, and someone said "Theres fucking nothing!" and they were pointing at the ask order book full of -only- 40k coins.

TERA - you are like the original bear. I hope you didn't wait for those $99 coins and got back in before $9k

I got my coins back at $130. From that point on I never sold more than half and periodically regenerate the other half with altcoin trading.

Haha. I remember the last time you could buy single digit coin, then double digit, then triple. Boys, this week is the last time you'll be able to buy quadruple digit coins.

$10.000 is nice but still very small, let's enjoy the road from $10.000 to $100.000 

[TERA2]

Im not exactly a model bear. I mainly state that corrections ought to occur. You can catch me saying bullish things as well.

It's funny how we are just casually chatting as if nothing historical was about to happen

You get numb after a while, and sit there, thinking whatthefcuuuk ??

Guys, everyone should do this:

1. Buy a ledger.
2. Generate a new wallet and write down the 24 words. (maybe even put them into a cryptosteel)
3. write down the first BTC address of the new wallet
4. Erase the ledger.
5. Recover the wallet from your 24 words.
If the first BTC address is the same as the one in step 3, then you know you wrote the 24 words down correctly. Wallet is now safe to use.

the best advice i can give right now is start tending to those memes. 10k is coming

If the first BTC address is the same as the one in step 3, then you know you wrote the 24 words down correctly. Wallet is now safe to use.

You should send a small test transaction to your new Nano S, maybe $50. Securely wipe it and restore from the 24 word seed. When you see the correct balance after the restore you should be confident that the developers really do know what they are doing. If you put anything in the cryptosteel it should be your seed though. Also consider using the advanced option of using passphrase protected accounts. That way if someone gains access to your seed your bitcoin are still safe as long as the passphrase is kept in your head. This option is not for everyone though.

Happy Thanksgiving.

Ok I have been out for a run and feel better now.  It is now acceptable for the price to continue to rise in a slow and orderly fashion.

LOL. Log chart please.

Can you imagine when the crash starts one candle is going to suddenly take like 5+ screens.
