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

[600watt]

Bitfinex is buggy as fuck.  I have had buy orders partially filled well below the then current trading price only to have the trade reversed 30 minutes later.  I just shrugged and rebought at the higher price. 

finex buggy: check
stamp buggy: check
coinbase buggy:check
kraken unusable: check
and
bitcointalk buggy: check
reddit buggy: check

the good old times are back

shame on you!

IDK about In-Q-Tel buying it all up, but I do know the various three letter agencies were mining BTC (and I would assume the various other CCs as well) in the beginning. To the effect of multiple wallets with thousands of coins each.

pics or it didnt happen  

there is a high chance that they own bitcoin too, but how much and if they created it will not be known in the near future.

Haha, if I had them I would!

I wish I'd been there and involved with it, but I wasn't unfortunately. I guarantee I'd have way more coins than what I do now

More along the lines of someone drinking too much and talking about things they probably shouldn't have

$20k within 20 hours

What the fuck is wrong with you people that you are still sending money to the exchange that outright stole a third of the funds people had there? You deserve to be poor.

I trade there because their order book is broken...  Don’t worry, the vast majority of my portfolio is in cold storage so deep it may as well be at the bottom of Lake Huron.

You probably don’t want to calculate what 30 days of 20% growth would do to the Bitcoin price because it will make you vomit.

You probably don't want to calculate what 30 days of 20% shrinkage would do. "But I was in the pool".

Fortunately, the probability of either happening is infinitesimal.

If you must know I had to sell my stash of 7 bitcoins back in 2016 due to financial circumstances. So I am poor now which is why I am using Bitfinex as well as a couple of other exchanges to trade alt-coins in order to get back to my 7 bitcoins with a view of making it to at least 10.

Not everyone who got bitcoins back in 2014 like me was able to hold them all due to money issues.

But I am glad you have enough bitcoins that you dont need to trade, that is also my ultimate goal but in the meantime I find it very difficult trading using my notepad or paper wallets  

Anyway if you feel I deserve to be poor then please ignore

If you want to help then you know what to do  - 1PRjBfDaPiTRdTrbWyxPSrcSCZJ98McxGF

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.

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...

Not the same, but fees, man!
I tried to use embeded shapeshift in coinomi to dump some BCH yesterday. Fees >$150. wtf. Tried the embeded changelly. >$80.  So I still have the BCH... Probably send it to polo eventually.

Just got home to see we recovered from today's $1.5k correction and we're back up to a new ATH.

Go Bitcoin go.

Russia legalizing bitcoin is probably helping the price.

https://cointelegraph.com/news/bitcoin-will-be-legal-in-russia-mining-to-be-regulated

Bitcoin will be legal in Russia

As the state works on legislation, Moiseev stressed that buying and selling Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies would be legalized. Just how long it will take for this new legislation to take effect is a matter of time, but it could be a few months at the least.

This is quite an about turn for the country, as president Vladimir Putin had all but condemned Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in October.

[Syke]

Great, just what we need, all the Russian Billionaires buying up all the bitcoins. Hodl 'em if you got 'em.

[ivomm]

Any news about the CFTC's decision on possible ban of bitcoin futures? https://www.cnbc.com/2017/12/07/bitcoin-futures-push-back-by-wall-street-banks.html

Is today the start of the great bitcoin rally? I'm tired of all this sideways...

So let me get this straight. There's no stopping this train. Is this a fair assessment of the situation?

I think global adoption is happening of bitcoin

[explorer]

I promised myself I would buy myself a present at 10k

So I bought this....it arrived yesterday



Since I've been wearing it we've been moving at more than 2k a day. It's not coming off.  

We'll all know the reason if BTC crashes...

Excellent. This is exactly what we wanted to happen.
