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

[gentlemand]

Any other alternative currencies anybody would like to casually drop in the conversation? Transaction fees got you down? Come share your concerns. Perhaps bigger blocks are the answer, because nobody ever thought of that.

Ugh.

No. Let's talk about new 'opportunities'.

They haven't even filled in the 'how it works' page.

I saw a sig ad for "bitcoin green"

This link is probably the biggest red flag ever to tell you you should be rushing to the door to take profits:

We need more throughput. Stop being a fucking tribalist and focus on what matters.

Of course we need more throughput.  But you need to come up with something better than just increasing blocksize by itself because that’s a shit solution from a decentralization point of view.  And I’m not seeing any other options other than LN and other second layer networks.  I’m all ears if you can point to a solution.

Now that we have Bitcoin God, can we fork it to make Bitcoin Jesus?

who cares we have infinite tethers

everybody is now crazy about ripple.They missed the train with bitcoin and now are buying ripple, eth, etc, but surprisingly bitcoin price is still holding very well .

This is exactly the same that happened a few months ago (march? may?) when Bitcoin price stalled and alts were pumped big time. In the end, most of those profits returned to Bitcoin, alts stalled, and... here we are again.

It's the logical step.

Wait for your altcoin to pump and pump and when you are satisfied return to the "gold-standard" and buy bitcoin to get out your profits to a (more or less) safe place.

Bitcoin's price rises and the altcoins fall again.

And at the moment MANY altcoins are pumped!

Sideways for days - means we will go south soon... Watching this pattern for years now. Only one guy needs to start a dump and well be at 4 digits....

I have been watching these patterns for years now, too.  and for the first two years, during 2014 and 2015, there was a tendency to break down after sideways; however, the past two years (2016 and 2017), there has been a tendency to break up, after sideways. 

So you seem to be suggesting that we are reverting to the 2014-2015 pattern?  Seems way too early to call that kind of reversion, no?

I've been warning people about Kraken on here for months.

Thieves...avoid.

 I was assimilated when they took over CAVirtex.

Been trying to get my coins off but it has been impossible to login today.  

edit:  and Hitbtc is also down for more than 24 hrs..

Need to keep an eye on the alts if they’re pumping then the stall is for that reason. As stated above The scam coins will stop being pumped and the profits will go back to btc.

when people will want to redeem fiat 180 millions usd will be missing - go tether

No pumping BTC untill the whales can cash out of ALT with 100% profit.

Troll bears on WO are so funny..

You guys really think we don't notice that you vanish from here when alts are pumping, and then suddenly show up here whenever the Bitcoin price is going sideways?

We notice, ok? And we put you in the 'troll' category, and many of you on /ignore.

Why? Bigger blocks means more throughput. What is this better that you demand? Suggest something better. Otherwise that's the best we got.

Bigger blocks is like a hoarder building a new room on their house to store more crap.  It doesn't solve the problem, it just allows the problem to get bigger.

Also...a linear solution for an exponentially expanding problem...

Feel free to make a list of all the hundreds of things that you've been trying to buy online daily or monthly with bitcoin. I'm sure it's a mile long. Those daily fees, amiright?

It's like more throughput. Which is the issue here.

I have spent literally hundreds in fees over the last few months. I spent $50 just today. Just on transfers. It's real money out of my pocket. And everyone elses.

Forget your fucking coffee. Fees don't need to be that big. It's a choice. That we have made. Time to make a better one.
