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

[User705]

Bitcoin was a $5-10 billion market at most in late 2013, concentrated on a handful of exchanges, most infamously Mt Gox, which was manipulated by Karpeles' Willie bot followed by the catastrophic loss of Bitcoin and collapse of the whole exchange and fragile ecosystem. You know this, Tera.

Bitcoin is now at least a $200B market cap by itself and has established itself as the trading foundation of an overall crypto market of half a trillion and is even legal tender in Japan of all places, in spite of Mt Gox. There are hundreds of exchanges in dozens of countries and massive infrastructure and overhead now invested in Bitcoin's future. Sure there are many who want to see it fail, mainly governments, regulators and old-school investors, but there are now far too many devoted to seeing it succeed.

I understand the importance of chronic unease and cautious optimism in such a volatile investment. But now it just seems you are just trying to incite doom and gloom, you are trying to instill fear, uncertainty and doubt, you are searching for patterns to corroborate your... hope, is it?? Hope that Bitcoin will continue to fall?  Because it doesn't just seem like fear driving your prognostications. It actually seems like you seriously hoping Bitcoin will stumble and fall into a multi-year bear market and retest old lows. Is this all stemming from regret? Regret that you didn't buy enough to exit this whole game by now and the hope that you can scoop up some more cheap coin?

Rough patches remain ahead, no doubt, but the days of $300 or $3000 coin are Christmas past.

$300 is past but not $3000 because it’s this exact sentiment of “exit this whole game” is what will be causing the price declines.

Guys I know this is off topic but is there a way to stop a unconfirmed transaction. Someone just stole the coins from my wallet.

try to double spend your coins to a new address where you own the private key.

put a very high fee in this tx and hopefully your tx will be confirmed before the tx of the theft.

This is to certify that small blocks have in fact one additional advantage. They allow people to fix errors before they become permanent.

I am waiting for my core wallet to load, will be done in a few mins. Won’t it just have a balance of 0? If you could let me know how to do it I would appreciate it.

Meantime I am doing something stupid. In addition to pre-paying my property taxes I am pulling the money to do this from reserve lines of credit instead of tapping some bitcoin profits. Once the new year ticks over I get a lot better tax breaks on work/bitcoins, and I'll just sell some pennies and pay off the loan in Jan.

I really don't like doing this though. But coupling end of year purchases, new reflow oven (always wanted an ez-bake oven!), and other stuff I am low on cash. Bad me. Bad bad me.

Ug.

maybe it would be possible if someone loaded your keys into his walet and did it from there. but i never tried catching slower transaction this way, so im not sure

I did send out a transaction but it’s not showing on blockchain. The thief sent a real low transaction fee so it should be a while but doesn’t seem to be working.
