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

[gentlemand]

I should never have moved my coins to Trezor. I was nimble with the bcash drop. Ever since I went hardware wallet I feel like I'm stuck in line.

They're pretty rapid with forks but there'll be a point where they can't be arsed any more. You can always extract the relevant private key with this https://iancoleman.io/bip39/ from your seed as long as your BTC is gone and you have a new seed.

I stuck with paper wallets for fork season.

This sounds like work. I like my old seed.

That was the ticket.

Haven't been able to get on bitcointalk.org  with a laptop for the past 20 hours or so.  Mobile works fine.
Thought cloudflare was supposed to solve DDoS? Are we all on mobile devices?

Nope. PC. But it's only been usable in the last 3 or so hours. Didn't work on mobile either.

Cloudflare can absorb most ddos, but it cannot do anything if the servers are overloaded which is what is happening. It's not a bandwidth problem but a load one. Only upgrading the capacity of the servers or optimizing the software would solve it.

Haha. The world works in funny ways.

I'm sitting in the lounge at SJC - I was working in Silicon Valley so far this week. AAR, when I checked into my hotel the other night, I noticed a newspaper I'd not seen before available amongst the piles of drek such as USA Today. Epoch Times. Intrigued, I grabbed a copy.

This morning, I finally started reading it. There was a great article on the ramifications of Bitcoin that took an entire page in the paper. Once I read it, I thought I oughta share it here. There is an abbreviated version available on the web: https://www.theepochtimes.com/is-bitcoin-just-a-brilliant-wealth-redistribution-scheme-3_2377636.html
authored by Valentin Schmid.

Now in the lounge, martini in hand, waiting for time to board, I am catching up on deferred communications. Running through my browser tabs, I run across this item linked the other day by someone here on BCT: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ukjDCeuNK3Y

Who is the interviewer but the samesaid Valentin? Whatta universe.

So these are the first intellectual hurdles to overcome: understanding that our current money system is severely flawed, and that to prosper and make progress, humanity needs an alternative.

Not bad.

Glad you are getting somewhere Bob.

At your weight, a diversity of institutions and methods would seem wise.

Hope this recent pullback shook some FOMO money out. Somehow I feel CNBC isn't a force for good

With Bitcoin, if you don't want shorters to be able to short with your bitcoin, you simply remove them from the exchange to an off-exchange wallet.

With the stock market, you can't do that. There's no way to exclude your stock shares from being shorted on an exchange, because:

1) They're not your stock shares, they're simply an IOU you leased from a Market Maker whale that holds an entire pool of stock shares on the exchange.

- and -

2) Stock shares can't be "removed" from the stock exchange they trade on anyway.


Let THAT sink in for a minute.

Don't forget about the fun new fork from Jeff Garzik with added Satoshi coin theft.

Wow, that twirling effect on that site is mesmerizing!

I think I must have spent at least 10 minutes just staring at it...

Good work Jeff!

Sweet landing page, Garzik.  Very professional:

It's important by design that Jeff ends up with all the UB tokens. Because God Mode.

Remember when that asshole was the guy that the SegWit2X camp was literally hanging their hat on to be the next Bitcoin lead dev?

NEVER. FUCKING. FORGET.

Evil. It seems he wants both the coins to be terribly distributed (mostly to exchanges and insiders and almost noone else) and also to generate additional collapse to the Bitcoin network if many people were doing that... fortunately I don't think many did.

Shove your ridiculous fork up your arse, Jeff!
