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

[Kahoy01]

The volume of the BTC in all exchanger is keep increasing. I know that next week ia the real deal because we can see again that bitcoin will hit $19,000 per each. We should ride in the roller coaster.

Now that you have more time on your hands, we'd really like to hear that country song.

No sad country song. Sorry to disappoint

But but but... the Neumann thingy...
I think many of us would settle for a happy country song, or a country song about some rich cowboy who doesn't give a "ratt's ass"* about nuttin...

Retirement plan is back on schedule, now that I've pulled the trigger on the first batch. Want to get my liquidations done this quarter for tax purposes.

I wonder, do you feel any urge to buy it all back at $13,000 ? 

Nope. I feel the urge to retire more than buying back. I have "enough" BTC to last me this lifetime after I've done liquidating for retirement.

Seriously now, there's no need to rush the second batch, is there? With a handsome short-term upside potential such as now, I mean. Can't the taxman wait if necessary?

It was in reference to Kraken being down.

When will we be able to see how much our shorts are grossing? how long has it been down?

The next days are critical.

It is just pissy that this "complete ban" in SK has been rebunked, but news articles from BBC and other sources are still freshly releasing with sensational "South Korean Bans All Crypto" headlines!  GRRRRR....

None of my stop losses got his in this last big dip,  hopefully things move up again.  Those were still going to provide enough gains to be life changing but now I'll keep them and let things move up for more :-)

Looks like "Korea Bans Bitcoin" is the new "China Bans Bitcoin".

All we need now is a few confirmations from Proudhon and the circle will be complete.

Right now BTC is holding the line pretty well, but I am getting the sense of fear and desperation in both the BTC and LTC subs. It's starting to feel a bit... impatient over there. It's a very different sentiment to that one in December. Either we've entered a new phase in crypto where one is going to need to be patient as the market caps are now much larger, or these impatient ones will be shaken out at losses at much lower prices.

As long as it is fear, it is good.

If it is impatience only, we are bound to go lower still.

My feeling is that there’s to much bullishness (see altcoins + ETH ignoring the stagnant BTC price) to go much lower. But please feel free to dump into stronger hands  

[HanvanBitcoin]

Anyone knows when Kraken will be back online?

[ghandi]

They are probably off with our funds.

More rounds to go still. Can't retire for the next 20 years on $1M.

Going to have people buying into my walls. I'll set my price. Not going to dump on the market.

More rounds Bob?  We are doing 18 today?  I might only have time for 9 as I have to catch a flight out to Belize this afternoon.

My people will get with your people.

Yes.

we're either in a triangle or an ascending channel with 3 higher lows and you bit-ches are panicking? What if we were going down for real?

We are still ok...lets see what happens over the next day or so. We are still in the ascending channel. February 1st is starting to look like a foci point. I cant get the granularity down enough for more accurate speculation.

Without fake news to generate FUD, the pump and dumpers would literally have nothing to "justify" the crypto price swings in the public eye. The public always needs "reasons" for large moves up or down. Always. Or at least the PnD'ers want to give them one, even though it is complete made up bullshit. We've seen this pattern over and over for years now.

The fact remains that whale investors are desperately looking for more supply of Bitcoin, and the only way they can GET more right now is to shake the tree and continue shorting. That's it. And since this will be a long slog, I expect this behavior to continue for another 6 months, possibly longer. They have to build as much supply as possible way before the Bitcoin ETFs come online. In fact I wouldn't be surprised if the ETFs get delayed/pushed back by the SEC just because the insider whales aren't ready yet.

Keep buying and HODL. Get your coins off the exchanges.

This guy gets bitcoin.
I cant keep giving you prizes Torque. All the other kids might get jealous.

All this "movement" is 1k of coin moving around(on each major exchange). I think they are just tuning the algo's on the bots tbh. Kinda bruising the ego..all this FUD generated by electric sheep.

How was it with a paper wallet? If I have 10 Bitcoins on a paper wallet, I have to sent them all at once to the exchange? Otherwise the rest will get lost?

[cAPSLOCK]

My Bitcoin account is 100% Bitcoin.

I am still trying to figure out what it would mean if that was not true.

Good point.  Then there would be no spoon.

Could you concentrate your efforts on the forks please?

There is a step between having a paper wallet and sending it to the exchange.

You have to import your private key into a hot wallet before sending it to the exchange. When you send less than 10 bitcoins to the exchange, depending upon your hot wallet software, you will either get the remaining coins in a different address or it will go back to your original address (blockchain.info).

Either way, once you import your private key to a hot wallet...it's no longer secure. You need to go through the process to put it on a paper wallet again.

No you can send whatever you want... but that paper wallet is may no longer be "cold" storage.

By the way.. this is an example of why layer 2 is so important...  Takes a few hops of logic to see it though.

No!
You can prepare a transaction with one input
and two outputs:

INPUT: your paper wallet's address
OUTPUT 1: the exchange's deposit address
OUTPUT 2: another address YOU own - either paper, hardware, or software wallet. You use this as a CHANGE output.

You sign the transaction as you prefer (I would use Electrum myself, but beware: UPDATE ELECTRUM before opening it!) The computer can (should?) be offline while you sign. Just unplug the cable, turn off wifi or whatever. Save the signed transaction. Then reboot before putting the computer back online.

After doing this, you can broadcast the transaction you saved.

Thanks guys. This crypto stuff is too complicated to me :/ Even though I am in computers for over 30 years. I wanted to buy some alts as the market is down, but I am too concerned to do that. I don´t want to lose the coins with an hack or other security reasons. I don´t even know how to get my BCash or Gold lol.

I created my paper wallets back in 2013 and did not touch them ever again. Even that was a mess at that time. Buy or format your computer only to create the paper wallets. Never go online with that computer. I am scared to death daily that my coins get stolen even from the cold storage lol. I hope in the future there will be better ways.

Seriously, I am posting this the 3rd or 4th time. Is nobody worried about whats going on in the market? Who cashes out 100 Billion in 3 days for the 3rd time in 3 weeks? Pump and dump 100 Billion?
I don´t believe in these stories posted here like "people cash out, buy christmas presents" etc. No average Joe has this huge amount of cash.

Average Joe has just found himself considerably richer this year and scared of ‘losing’ his newfound wealth as happened in 2011 and 2014. As such, you can’t blame fear for making him jittery and selling preemptively of something that may or may not happen.

Weak hands is a real disease. Sadly institutional investors and more savvy investors have mo money and mo time and are quite happy to ‘wait’ as long as it takes to ‘buy all the coins’.

My 2 Satoshis.

FWIW. I am not selling anything and will carry on using Bitcoin with its ‘too high right now’ fees for now and the future.

In between all this short term bearish posts and sentiments, I will make a Bitcoin market cap prediction. Something I don't do often but I feel Bitcoin currently trades at an attractive discount:

Bitcoin today has a market cap <250 billion. Q3 2019 I expect the market cap to be >500 billion.

Please quote me for future reference.
