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

I wonder if it is actually profitable to mine BTC with a GPU again? Probably not, but one could hope.

OK finally sweeping a small paper wallet, so gotta dump me some clone coins.  I got BCH, BTG, and Bitcore.  Using Coinomi. did I miss any?   It's not old enough for clams...

Edit: You didn't miss any but here is what may be coming and you will need your old key for BCD:

11/23/2017   Bitcoin Diamond (BCD) - Already split but launching in Dec
12/12/2017   Bitcoin Platinum
12/17/2017   Super Bitcoin
Sometime in Dec   Bitcoin Uranium
Sometime in Dec   Bitcoin Silver
12/25/2017   Bitcoin God (GOD)?
1/2/2018   Bitcoin Cash Plus (BCP)
1/28/2018   Segwit 2x (B2X) retry?

That's a lot of airdrop. If they happen.  Looks like 1k gains in a day are all the norm now, WTF, really?  Stamp about to break 14K?
There's been a lot of "told you so's" this past week, well, you know, without having to say it.  Now I'll tell folks that 14K will look ridiculously cheap this time next year.  Personally, I still believe a $500-1000 investment today will be enough to start considering retirement in 5-7 years.

$14k Stamp.

Within three hours the price jumped more than 2000 USD.
This is what I call Light speed

It seems like Andreas has just become a bitcoin millionaire due to some serious influx into his adress today, I'm glad he's finally receiving the recognition he deserves from the community. He's such an invaluable asset to the whole bitcoin community for his propagation of education and adoption about bitcoin. Go show him some love if you can!

Ohh my god!!!   Bubles!!

[SecondLeoTheSecond]

Yawn.
My oh my. It's been three and a half years since I've been here the last time.

Ridiculous shenanigans is what I see. Gifs of rollercoasters and rockets. It is Gentlemen.
Ten thousand got me quiet excited and I really sold a bit on that 10.5k bump I mistakingly interpreted as a dead cat bounce.
Oh well. I'm beyond that now. I am numb. What should I do with that money? I sit and watch the price rise. I hear the people around me getting their money ready, waiting for the next dip. There is a giantic green candle and there will be a big red one soon. But at the bottom they wait. Hungry for "cheap coins". Because when Bitcoin has been up there. It will get back there eventually. It always has.
Sometimes it took longer, but then it just ran past the old price up into the sky.
And there is the secret. There is no bubble, just dips, always and ever. Who sold further down, will buy the next dip.
I think now I wait for 100k$. Presumibly at the end of 2018.

If anyone wants to know if this is an s-curve just look at lightning. If it is ready before this one pops, it won't pop.

What do you mean no use case? It's a breeding ground for Crypto Kittens!!!  

Yep, they finally found what that $40 billion network does.

[JimboToronto]

Those $500 corrections are coming closer together, barely keeping up with the pace of the rally.

Hopefully they're keeping this thing from running away with itself.

Someone just donated half a million+ USD to Andreas!

This is why I LOVE bitcoiners.

Absolutely not. I even doubt it would be profitable with my old S3 and that thing was orders of magnitude more efficient than a GPU. Not even if my electricity cost was way cheaper than it is.

The first and last time I fiddled with that Eth shit was with the DAO. Never again for me. I don't care if that flippering ever does actually happen. those ERC20 tokens breed like mice, anyway.

Too bad Nicehash got hacked. So that isn't an option anymore either. Oh well, back to picking some shit coin and mining to dump.

Wow! Respect!

And well deserved... for some reason I always thought Andreas was one of the early millionaires himself. Live to learn.

This moon shot stuff is all fine and everything....

but the acceleration is getting to me....the screaming engines...the shaking....

the manic laughter of the other BTC folk on this rocket...(jeez, don't you all bathe?)

fun but stressful...so much moon....trying not to wimp out!

(looks for NASA logo barf bag...where is it ..damn it!)

Not sure I have the balls for this 1k a day stuff....might lose my mind if it is 20k by the end of the month...

(he's dead...what's with the large grin? .....BTC Exciteditis Syndrome....extreme case...his BTC ship came in....his mind snapped ..no place to dock!

 You should use all that extra energy to fix up your house and we'll PM you when Bitcoin is 30k.

Crap...you would say that....I'm retiring at the end of this month....my new occupation is fixing this old house (just me) frack
gonna hate my version of this show....(no excuses anymore...must be done....damn it!)

Looks like you B missing dee hookers and the blow...    other than that... cool....

i love this crypto-land.

Well I bought my first ever coin for 120 then the price promptly crashed.
Now it's 'worth' 100x that at 12k, but that's the steepest of discounts, because it's actually going to be worth 100x that at 1.2mil before long, and not one penny less.

I bought my first coin for $1,200 in late November 2013, and I was called a  moron for more than 2 years... , and it took three years for that first coin to come out of the red.  Actually, it was 1.24 btc for $1,500....   The price appreciation on that first coin is looking pretty good, now, even averaging out 4 years, that would be about 2.5X  appreciation annualized.  Not bad... not bad.
