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

because otherwise you would sell all of your bitcoin and invest in bcash

Oh but I have. I hold much more Bitcoin Cash than Bitcoin Segwit. But that is really irrelevant. Do you hold any stocks? Bonds? T-Bills? Dollars? If you are so sure that Bitcoin Segwit is the be-all and end-all, why do you own anything but? Not that I find this a valid line of reasoning; I am just turning your words around on you.

and participate in the bcash discussions

I regularly participate in Bitcoin Cash discussions. What makes you think that I do not?
...

and you just want to complain about bitcoin,

No. I want to alert about the weaknesses of Bitcoin Segwit.
...

No, but see, it's very relevant, and this is exact point that you seem to miss or err pretend to not realize. So let me try to spell it out for n00bs that might be getting confused by all of this Bcash shilling, if JJG held minority of his assets in stocks/bonds/t-bills, yet spent MAJORITY of his time on those boards saying how they're all idiots and it will collapse, that would be, now say it with me, yes, trolling, and no, by saying that he's just trying to alert those stock/bond brokers of the weakness of their system wouldn't make it any less trolling. Now shoo under the bridge you go

You object to the name BCash, and yet you refer to Bitcoin as "Bitcoin Segwit"
Careful, your double standards and hypocrisy are showing.

I keep reading about how precious metals are so much better than cryptocurrencies, and it saddens me to see so much anachronism and old-time mentality here in this thread (I wonder why those posts are posted here...).

They are the best form of money, but that would only be useful if governments recognized gold and silver as money - as they used to. However governments use fiat, and both PMs and crypto are better than fiat.

When fiat becomes 100% digital, with the banning of cash, at that point the entry/exit point from PMs will become problematic (not for institutional investors, but for the average joe - who won't be able to buy or sell even 1 ounce without big brother knowing it, taxing it, or preventing it). Cryptocurrencies will thus be complementary to PMs when fiat goes 100% digital. It'll be like this:

Metals <=> Cryptos <=> fiat

Why would i spend my crypto on those elements then? What's the confirmation time to transport it? What about security, how would i generate a seed from this pile of Au?

Sure hope they pull Bcash off life support in January. Its such an embarrassment.

On the heels of the launch, three fund managers, REX Shares LLC, Van Eck Associates Corp and First Trust Advisors LP, went back to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission seeking permission to launch bitcoin exchange-traded funds.

Yeah Im supportive of ETFS.

except that only a fucking idiot would actually buy bcash.

So speak for yourself, right?

A little history ...

But adoption is even stronger and more advertised now. Plus the big players (the banks) are getting involved, and also probably governments.

Wtf litecoin

[lightfoot]

We now get a Bitcoin price & chart on the 7PM news every night. Tonight we got this as well:

1) What show is that?
2) They should have DOGE and the doggie symbol up there MUCH COINZ!!!!

[jonoiv]

Wtf litecoin

Looks like ZEC is about to break BTC resistance too! 

[lightfoot]

Wtf litecoin

As I said earlier, sold a couple of them yesterday at $160 or so each, part of my have to take money out thing for quarterly expenses and such. Every time I do this, the price of that coin goes bonkers that afternoon.

(Yes, sometimes I feel like a narcissist, sometimes I feel like the universe personally exists to toy with me like a cat with a ball of yarn).

Anyway, never dull. I'll have to remember to sell a few bitpennies next time or something... :-)

Or maybe it is because of the shitload ($500K?) that Bob sold the other day.....

At this rate it will soon surpass Bcash and it is not a surprise as Litecoin is way better in every aspect as a cash/small payments alternative.

The objection to BCash comes from the fact BCash is also another thing (I think) and cos it hurts the bitcoin cash investors feewlings

Whereas the objection for the term Bitcoin Segwit is only because your poor feewlings got hurt

For hodlers, getting rich is a secondary side effect of doing the right thing: getting the world onto an infinitely better monetary standard & killing government money.

A new hero.

and this game is awesome.

Thank you for updating the poll to sensible numbers, and get ready for $25k on New Year's Eve

And in my opinion this stuff is just taking off, I can't imagine the number of digits when your average grandpa wants to get his own ₿ into the bank: his own, or maybe his son's

Ethereum has gone wild too, and there's room for 4-digits figure here.

Seems like Honeybadger has woken up from its nap and is in the mood to attack the ATH.

Meanwhile Litecoin went up 200% in 4 days (as measured in USD). What gives?

When you realize what Bitcoin futures traders desperately need right now, it makes perfect sense
