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

[Wekkel]

The guy with the 300 wall on stamp is an idiot. He just keeps inching it letting everyone else get all the coins and he gets none.

Seller herding buyers up the ladder to slaughter?  Used to be how it was done near the top...

Its called distribution.

That's about as bad as when I saw someone try to rename the word pump and dump to "capital flows" earlier.  Yea, the capital is flowing alright lol.

Anyway my point is this: please don't leave just because you feel like supporting "the wrong side" here. There are people and ideas worth supporting on all sides.

As I say, it was never about that. This place even hasn't been quite so bad as what has happened and continues to happen on Reddit but things have been done that have greatly damaged the community and more.

I would not put your opinion down either. You have been around long enough that you surely have a good feel for what works and what doesn't. Just because someone has a speciality in cryptography or coding doesn't mean they're right about everything (in fact, often the opposite). If that still puts you in the small block camp, fair enough but don't be afraid to think for yourself.

You're right, the people with the deepest insight into coding and cryptography often end up having the least amount of knowledge about the implications of Bitcoin for the economy & society. That's the kind of beast Bitcoin is - it is extremely difficult to grasp and comprehend it in its entirety.

For now I am cautiously in the small block camp while vigilantly watching out for any sort of shenanigans.

The biggest victim of all this has been the ability of the community to hold a civilized debate focusing on arguments instead of ad hominem attacks. But that's the kind of times we're living in right now...

I guess I should be happy, being a discordian and all, but this sort of discord just feels wrong. It takes itself too seriously. And only angels fly, because they take themselves lightly, while those of us who are full of shit cling to the ground of seriousness.

So you agree that women are large children.

There are too many people talking their book while their Bcash is locked up in Coinbase. This will change come 1 Jan.

I have a transaction (1 input, 2 outputs) with an $11 fee sitting waiting to be confirmed for two hours now. Make of that what you will.

Oh my god, Bitcoin crashed to 17k overnight. $6k down!! Bitcoin is dead!

I noticed, I hope so.

It means I am thankful we don’t have Bitcoin kitties.

When you open chrome from 2 weeks ago and theres still a tab that says 10K, or 4K...

[JayJuanGee]

What could a potential correction bring us to?  I think most of us agree that we're due for one but for those of us that have been here long enough, bitcoin "crashing to 10k" would sound like a pipe dream a couple years ago.

Even a month ago actually XD

I'm sure people here would appreciate chartbuddy - and even the political stubborness of its director...

It means you can send value unfettered across the most secure, censorship-resistant, global ledger for less than the cost of a dinner for one. I can't believe this is still an argument. Why aren't these people using DOGE for their cheap fix?

[Rosewater Foundation]

The fee market works. This is good, no?

You guys were right about no Ferrari, I have decided to just cash out a smaller amount and buy something a little more reasonable.  In the end, I'm still in Bitcoin but I also get to have something to enjoy and show for it.  This has been keeping me up for days and making me feel sick.  What a fucking load off.  Now to get a vanity license plate about bitcoin    It was nice to see chartbuddy again today.  So nostalgic.

So you agree that women are large children.

Once upon a time your antisemitism and misogyny were at least logically consistent. Nowadays you are just ranting and raving in an increasingly incoherent way. You should consider refraining from posting until Bitcoin crashes and you feel somewhat more validated in your deluded worldviews.

That is a hefty fee for a transaction in general but then again it depends on what sort of a transaction it is. I hope and am quite confident that we will eventually develop feasible ways to have cheap and small transactions in crypto, be it on-chain, off-chain or on another blockchain. I am no dogmatic Bitcoin maximalist.

You can still have your Ferrari.  Just not today.

At the beginning of 2017, I was guessing that we'd end the year somewhere between $1600-1800/btc.

Only missed it by a factor of 10.  

Of course in hindsight, all the bullshit, shake outs, fake outs, upgrade blockades, flippenings, etc. now all make perfect sense.

They knew that far in advance.

Oh get the fuck out of here Torque - with your hindsight fatalism nonsense...


If I did not like you so much, I would do this  to you, but instead I am going to do this ..    and this   

[TERA2]

You missed China.

Remember when China banning Bitcoin meant it should be below $400? Now all the Chinese exchanges are gone and here we are.

Very true, for now my 1:18th scale model shall suffice

I am sure you'll be most welcome by more than a few here.  Big Blockers get a hard time, yep - it's pretty much heavily pro-Core of course, but it's still fun and all and sundry drop in and pretty much all points of view exist, as they probably should - although the ignore button is still an occasionally welcome option

I have no problem with any of that. Small blocks, big blocks, it's a conversation to be had and I'll go toe-to-toe with anyone about my opinions. I just don't like what happened to that conversation and feel that visiting this site, unfortunately, supports the perpetrator(s).

Ridiculous conspiracy all in your head and in the heads of the other r/btc nutjobs.. including Ver, jihan and Craig... .. all circle jerking the same bullshit censorship nonsense over something that more or less did not exist... except for the purpose of whining, distracting and trying to change the governance of bitcoin with the various attacks and nonsense.
