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

11381 on Bitstamp, Im going to bed now, my nerves can't take anymore today.

So I was just referred to Bitclub by someone I trade bitcoin with in meat space, says he was introduced to it through his father who is some kind of business person who knows the owners personally. I have no reason to doubt he believes what he told me, but even so, anyone know anything about it? Safe(ish) to invest in?

Run. Far. Away.

Ok, I actually did read the German sub forum, and I believe you, but I couldn't figure out at first why it was about a bet and not a charity.

it started as a bet. forum user elrippo posted that he bets 0.5 btc that btc would not reach €4000 within this year. I took the bet and said if I win, I would donate his 0.5 btc and my 0.5 btc to poor children for xmas. that is how it started. I am no charity, I am a private bitcointalk member. but I will stick to my word. and other forum members have donated also to that address. now its more than $80k.  

it is of course way more than enough. bitcoiners are wonderful. and crazy. I had to quit going to work for a week to be able to get the logistic challenge done. I am working on it right now. it is crazy. I just thought I let you know.

600watt, which is the current donation address? Is it too late to add, I like the idea. Also, let me know if you need some help with the whole media attention thing:

"Random bitcoin owners group to give away, and casually raise 80+k."

Freaking hell!
It is at $11340 for no good reason.

Lift off to Mars as one user has put it since we have landed on the moon and need a new planet to go explorer now at this most unprecedented frontier we have all conquered it being the $10,000 mark.

Instead of presents, you could damn near build a shelter for foster kids with that kind of money.

Presents are temporary and fleeting, but the memory of a roof over ones head lasts a lifetime.

there will be a lot of money left over for good projects. if you know about something, contact me. I have to check with the biggest donators and with elrippo, but if it is a good project we could maybe help.

all into shitcoins :-D weeee ~ lol seriously this is the year of generosity of spirit :-D thats great bitcoin is working!!

I think so, yes. They provide no useful numbers on their website and frankly I make more on one decent in-person deal than I could expect to in a year even on a legit mining site. Not worth it.

I realy need to get used to this new 5 digit price, my brain hasn't understood that $11324 means $11.324 and not $1.132,4

So... everybody was saying that after 10k we were headed to 12k in a few hours, but seems that we are still 11k-ish. What happened?

Just got an email from Xapo:

Hi xxx,

As we informed you in previous communications, we are approaching the December 14th deadline in which you’ll need to convert your Bitcoin Cash (BCH) balance that was generated during the August 1st fork to BTC.

Our Terms of Use clearly state that the only digital currency supported by Xapo is Bitcoin (BTC). If you want to store, transfer and/or use any cryptocurrency other than Bitcoin, you cannot do so through the Xapo Services. If, as a consequence of a “fork” (as such term is commonly known in the bitcoin industry), Bitcoin holders are granted with equivalent or proportional amount of the new digital currency or values that are not Bitcoin, Xapo shall not have any obligation, whatsoever, in connection to such new digital currency or value. Providing, however, that Xapo may grant you, at its sole discretion, a reasonable term to withdraw such digital currency or value to a third party. If you don’t withdraw the total balance of the digital currency or value within such term, Xapo reserves the right to automatically convert the total balance of such cryptocurrency into bitcoin and credit it to your Xapo Wallet.

That being said, you should know that converting your BCH to BTC is easy! Visit our FAQ section to find a step-by-step guide for how to convert your BCH.

If you want to keep your BCH, you cannot do so within Xapo, but you’ll be able to withdraw the total balance and send it to a valid external BCH address before December 14th.

Keep in mind that unless you take action by December 14th, as outlined in our Terms of Use, you’ll be allowing Xapo to automatically convert your BCH to BTC. In that case, you will see the corresponding BTC balance credited to your Xapo Main Wallet.

If you want to keep your BCH you will not be able to do so within Xapo and you will have to withdraw the total balance and send it to a valid external BCH address before December 14th.

For questions or inquiries please contact us - we will be more than happy to assist you!

Best regards,
Xapo Team

Rekt.

Does this mean that Bitcoin is too big to fail now?

Seriously, that is some really big news.

If Pluto were a planet we'd have to set our sights on it as the next target.
