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

"I'll say $1 million by 2020, as well, easily," Altucher said Wednesday on CNBC's "Squawk Alley." "There's 15 million millionaires around the world. All their financial advisors are going to say, 'Hey, buy a bitcoin. You need some exposure.'"

"There's only going to be 21 million bitcoins minted ever in history. That's also going to drive demand," Altucher said.

Iron logic.... and who cannot afford to just HODL for a few more years?

On a serious note, something bizarro with Stamp : I am logged in, can make orders et all, but when I go to my account page it says that my password is too old and that I must create a new one.
The password is the one I created when I opened my account with them, I think a month ago.

This is standard - Bitstamp encourages users to update their password every so often for security reasons.

Yeah where is Proudhon? Love that guy. I giggle at some of the newbs here who think he is a serious troll.  

In other news, these price predictions seem so far fetched that I can't even wrap my brain around it. But I wouldn't be sad.

Even if we missed it by a digit, I still wouldn't be sad.

And to think people are still sweating the "should I buy some now?" crap?

Rootstock is comming guys, the first side-chain deployed on the Bittcoin network 

4th December begins the smart contract revolution!

cannabis industry wants rootstock BTCBTC wweeeeeeeeeee

[arklan]

Bleh. Mempool back @ 60mb worth of 0-5sat transactions to slog through.

Sheeeit.

Years back, when Satoshi dice was popular, that would make sense. Maybe even be common. These days? No one processes zero fee transactions, and everyone knows that. Why, besides spam, would you send them?

[Biro Bob]

Is anybody here still buying?

Of course.

If the price goes down, then buy, and if the price goes up then sell.

The price has been going up and down in the past two days... so just apply the formula.

My friend says: it´s a bubble, way to expensive. I don´t buy.
And when it goes down, he says: See, i told you, it´s bursting. I don´t buy.

Guess what comes out of it: He doesn´t buy, ever !


What can i do (he´s my friend) ?
I´ll shake him until he comes to his senses   Don´t know, what to do else.

"A serious troll", is that something like Mr. VSP Dimon?

security measure. bitstamp wants you to create a new password every month (or even twice a month) by default. I think it is possible to set it up in way that it will not ask you to change your password, but I would recommend to stick with default setting. I keep my old passwords in the same place as the new one. over time creates a bulk of passwords and it is sometimes hard, even for myself to figure out which is the latest one. extra little safety...

edit: just saw that your question was already answered, sry

ever have an overwhelming feeling of guilt even though you did not behave badly?

Still welcome, thanks. And indeed, safer but more complex... . I think keeping the same PW only is possible with 2FA.

It's just your conscience telling you that you did.

Well good morning Bitcoinland.

Nice to see we're back up over $10k again, hopefully to stay... currently $10601USD/$13502CAD (Bitcoinaverage).

Old coins total $12348USD/$15745CAD each (Coinmarketcap).

Let's get over $11k and then we can think about ATHs again.

Go Bitcoin go.

Shhh! We're being monitored by the president. Let's try to act like nothing is happening.

Fuck him, and all who sail with him.
He's got no power now.

can you name me a new technology that has been banned? why on earth would bitcoin be the first one? digitization of our entire culture is inevitable. digitization is in the sam e league as industrialization. it cannot be stopped.  

Possession of a Guggenheim printing press might have cost you your life at some points in history.
Distillation is widely illegal on an individual basis. Absinthe suffered a worldwide ban post-WW2. Hell, even alcohol itself was illegal in the US for a good time during Prohibition.
Equipment used for counterfeiting currency is illegal
Torrenting DRM material is illegal
Anti-DRM technology is illegal
Owning gold as currency was illegal in the US during wartime
Certain drugs and technology to produce them, both natural and synthetic are largely illegal.
Weapons of mass destruction are illegal (as mentioned)
Firearms are illegal in many countries
Hell, the Internet is even illegal in some countries. Certain social media is illegal behind China's great firewall.
There is even talk of making some types of encryption illegal

Basically, any technologies involved in the spread of information or ideas or substances that affect thinking or could cause harm or disruption to society have, at some point or another, been banned or attempted to be banned by some government. Governments and those in power will do anything to maintain the status quo.

I agree however that most technologies cannot be stopped. Won't stop them from trying, though.

i was asking for examples of technologies as a whole that have been globally banned. except for some weapons. and you list weapons and local/temporary bans and ... drugs.
