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

A bigger problem though is transaction clearing time, I just moved a bit to buy some equipment before end of year (tax deductible and I need this stuff) and it still hasn't confirmed.

If this keeps up I may have to use Litecoin.

Mempool is growing bigtime. Make sure to include a good fee for quick confirmation.

Is this run still being fueled by South Korea...or more widespread....(If I was next to North Korea...I'd have the van set, the family packed, btc on the trezor to hit the road

on moments notice straight south out of Seoul..so I guess a run on BTC makes a bit of sense for them...

I think we're taking the western hemisphere now. Just my impression from all the recent attention I'm receiving.

Can you feel the lack of gravity? We are already in space, theres no floor anymore.

We crossed L1, and now Moon gravity overcomes Earth gravity.

I have 2 fairly large transactions totally stuck - even though I put them through as 'fast' by believing my BTC Core wallet's advice.

Nothing confirmed for hours - what fees actually WORK right now - anyone recommend a site to suggest accurate fee requirements?

Feeling very stupid...

OMG the push to 17k is underway we will be there by tonight.

Jim Cramer souring and pooping on Bitcoin again. When he talks, it's almost if you can hear the stupid escaping from his ears. Such a punch-able face that guy has.

I'm sure if Bitcoin crashes, he'll be the one out there screaming I told ya so.

Mycelium on my phone usually get the fees right. About 5 bucks for a normal transfer last I checked (edit: 7 now). How much did you pay?

I'm surprised yahoo took the time out to NOT whine about Trump and the end of the world for 30 seconds.

So that guy is moaning that Bitcoin is just like gambling. Isn't that what most of the banking / trading / lending business is about.

You "invest" or "lend" money for a potential higher return.

You could get run over by a bus tomorrow and never see that return. Most things in life that carry the greatest rewards are about gambling or at least taking some risk I reckon. One gambles with their money but more so with their time or effort usually.

I will say turning on the radio last night in my bitcoin car and hearing the Bloomberg guy say "Hey buddy, wanna buy some bitcoin...." at the top of the hour almost made me drive off the road laughing....

But this is silly: CNN: Bitcoin boom may be a disaster for the environment. What will happen is more efficient miners will be built, or the halvening will slow down the mining rate. Difficulty will adjust down as needed and that will be that. A bigger problem though is transaction clearing time, I just moved a bit to buy some equipment before end of year (tax deductible and I need this stuff) and it still hasn't confirmed.

You have a bitcoin car?

[gembitz]

McDonalds accepting bitcoin soon? :-D what ever happened to the fry guys? <<<< nom nom nom

[GHCoins45]

wtf, I'm scared. Bitcoin please slow down a little bit

[bitserve]

It hit 15k last night?

At what point would a whale not sell simply because there is not enough room to stick all the fiat somewhere? I joke about the Lambo thing, and how many you can fit in a driveway, but really doesn't the utility value of money just go out the window at some point?

That is an interesting point and in fact I think it is already happening somehow. Why to sell when you already have a bunch of spare millions in your account?

Same could be applied to lesser stashes that already feel that they have cashed much more than they really need in the short/medium term.

The spread between GDAX and Bittrex is now $1,200 --- am I missing something with Bittrex, do they accept USD deposits?  I can't figure out how to link my bank account.

Or can you only move coins there to sell/buy.

Bitcoin price hits $26,000 in Zimbabwe

[BitcoinBunny]

$25,000.00 by Christmas?

[Lopumbo]

Either big institutions are buying on GDAX (too short later) or Average Joy is just too dumb to use another exchange, price premium ~10%
