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

2. They are now getting very slow for withdrawals - over a week now to even confirm (USD) withdrawal - let alone see it in your bank.  I don't know about SEPA, as I no longer use this method (see 3 below).

It might be due to the round-about way it has to go for you. I'm getting USD withdrawals to the US confirmed in a day.

Can you even sell Super Bitcoins yet? I couldn't find a wallet that even supports it.  Not storing my bitcoin on some exchange just to get quick crap coin dumps.

None of the wallets on their site supports it?

I tried bitpie and it didn't have it listed. Pretty sure Electrum doesn't. I don't know about the 3 Chinese wallets, I was hoping someone else might have found one.

Is it on line with a stable chain yet? Wallets won't support until then. Wait a couple of weeks and try again.

Using litecoin at an ATM I get withdrawls and money within like 3 minutes.

Bitcoin takes closer to half an hour. So who has set up Vegas hookers with a litecoin based payment app?

Seriously: You could pay an address, add a tip, and the coins would be split between the hooker, pimp, and driver based upon mutually agreed upon rates signed by private keys held by all parties. That way you the john would know the appropriate money is going to all parties based upon agreed-on ratios.

Hm.................

Question of the day. Is Jstolfi paid by Ver, or just hopeless?

A broken clock is correct twice a day. Or in Jstolfi's case, maybe once in a millennia if at all.

It feels good for the nocoiners and naysayers to make outlandish claims like "Bitcoin may go to a million dollars one day before it goes to zero." That way they can smuggishly still be right on the first part, while simultaneously moving the goal posts on the second part out to infinity. Or at least to well after they are dead and gone.  Am I right?

He doesn't seem to apply the same standards to RogerDollars.

Also, I'd like to point out that the ever so subtle LTC shilling in this thread is wearing thin fast.

 Cool!  Thanks.  Ill save the bandwidth and sing it to myself.
I saw Queen perform it during their Hot Space tour so it's still fresh in my mind.

WTF?  Roger promoted Jstolfi to professor of computer science....

That site should be removed from the internet, the most horrible place you can find in this entire world.

What a fucking autist.

I personally believe he converted himself into a computer program in the 1970s. He should've waited until computing languages were a little more advanced.

Nothing to see here, Bitcoin is working well.

I also don't get the whole LTC thing, but then I never have. Someone saw Bitcoin and thought, wow if I could make it 4 times the size, then it would be perfect!
Why not 5 times, or 10 times? I'll give them that they implemented LN and Segwit before BTC, but BTC is a slow juggernaut which is slowed by quabbling and politics, so that isn't surprising.

If LTC ever took over from BTC (spoilers, it won't) it would pretty much have exactly the same problems as Bitcoin does now, maybe slightly less due to the 4x thing.

The FOMO panic sellers are awake again.

In the maintime LTC hast lost 20%, and ETH almost 12% of its value in the last 24 hours

Ok, so, my brain is still booting up here for the day, but walk me through game-theory on this one.

There's a huge wall of 1000 BTC @ $17,250 on GDAX.

What would the effect be of me placing a sell wall of 1000 @ $20,000 ? I'm guessing zero effect ?

Would I be better off gaming 1000 @ $17,500 ? Would placing/pulling 1000 walls @ $17,000 cause jitters ?

Wondering how I can have some fun with this wall on GDAX. I'm a little bit bored this morning.

I should really go get a coffee into my system...

Uhh... I'm pretty sure that spoofing is considered in violation of GDAX's trading rules. If you are discovered, your account will likely be frozen.

https://support.gdax.com/customer/en/portal/articles/2725970-trading-rules?b_id=13522

c. aid, abet, enable, finance, support, or endorse either of the above.

and may include actions on GDAX and/or outside of GDAX.

3.14Market Manipulation specifically includes, without limitation: front-running, wash trading, spoofing, layering, churning, and quote stuffing.

Also, I'd like to point out that the ever so subtle LTC shilling in this thread is wearing thin fast.

Not trying to shill LTC per se, more of an observation on the overall insanity in the market. Like a cannon ball rolling around on the deck of a pirate ship; the money is just sloshing around.

But Point noted and taken.

Meantime why isn't Bitcoin DOING ANYTHING? This is the most bored I have been all day....

In r / bitcoin the problem is being discussed. It is becoming harder and harder to ignore the situation and pretend that nothing happens here.
https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/7jqs9m/how_much_longer_are_we_going_to_pretend_we_dont/

My first bitcoin I bought around 15 dollars, today I could not start with an investment like that. And there are perhaps hundreds, or thousands of people who are preferring other currencies for that very reason.
