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

[Rosewater Foundation]

Personally, I came from a PM background so had a healthy hatred of that fiat trash already.  I also had recently read Neal Stephenson's Baroque Cycle, a monumental work of historical fiction that deals with the nature of money and cryptrography that I would strongly recommend hodlers to read.  So my response to discovering Bitcoin was more like "OMFG... ... ...an IMPLEMENTATION!!!"

Personal favorite. Short and sweet.

“We’ve been doing E-money for e-ons, ever since automated-teller machines.” Joe says, with just the right edge of scorn. “Nowadays we can use it to go shopping in the Metaverse. But it’s still in U.S. dollars. Smart people are looking for something better.”

   9:34 PM CT    CFE    In accordance with CFE Rule 1302(i)(iv), another minimum 5 minute Halt will be enacted if the XBT front month future bid hits the 30% level.

So now they are allowing it to trade up to a 30% before they stop it again. Interesting.

It seems that they only stop the trading to check that nothing fishy is happening before restarting it again right after.

I think it’s so traders have a chance to take a piss.

Volume 2324.  That’s a healthy $37 million for the first day volume.

Wait what? Are you telling me that those traditional traders don't have the mandatory sunnydelight bottle on their trading desks as we all do?

No.  In a 20% crash they just piss their Saks suits or whatever it is that kids wear these days.

Sounds pretty bizarre to me - the market will start lagging. Are they closing peoples orders down when they close the market too?

I don't know, but I don't think they do. In fact we Bitcoiners have already experienced that... I remember when mtgox glitched (or for whatever reason magicaltux felt like) there were times in which the engine was deliberately paused for a while. Most of the time the orders kept standing (mostly because the entire site was inaccesible) but I remember at least one time in which we were allowed to cancel standing orders. I don't remember any time where orders were removed automatically.

They don't stop "the market" they just stop the trading of futures for a little while. So it's not big deal... and its just the futures market anyways.

If not, enjoy.

It might be quite literally the best bitcoin music video ever made. Move over Proudhon.

Ok so what's next? We all become Lightning Network hubs or something and retire?
