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

[HairyMaclairy]

So in other news, it appears that the moneybadger coalition successfully defended the 9-4RP2 keepstar from the goonswarm/imperium last night in the largest online battle that has yet occurred.  I have not seen a summary of the killboard, but over $1M (real money) worth of virtual equipment was at play in this engagement.

I played eve online far too long. it's more an economy simulalor then space game. Such big battles were pretty boring. it often took hours of waiting before the shooting starts and once it starts, the servers can't keep up with the load and the lag makes playing very annoying.

I loved hanging around in a space station in jita, doing some trades in the biggest market of the game. Trading was my main source of income. Before I left the game many years ago I bought all Thulium I could find for a very low price. Thulium is the rarest moon material but it was useless during this time. Later the developers of the game made an update, the production for some high tech products required thulium, the demand raised and the prices of Thulium mooned.

I think this game taught me alot about trading. I'm still hodling Thulium

edit: roached?

Interesting.  I never thought about this but the only trading I did before Bitcoin was in World of Warcraft on the Auction House.  It took me awhile but I eventually learned I could earn far more from a quick 15 minutes scooping up underpriced enchanting supplies and reselling than from running around doing daily quests.

The markets were less stable than crypto though !

I would have liked to do Eve but I know that it would take far too much of my time. I have trouble doing things by halves. I expect that’s a trait shared by many people on this thread.

A few people I've talked to became interested in Bitcoin following the Second Life game currency. Linden Dollars I think?

[HairyMaclairy]

It makes perfect sense.  I despised the gold farmers like most players but there were some who claimed to make a living from it. Not the Chinese, the real money was with uberguild leaders who exit scammed.  

The more I think about it, the more parallels I can see....

If Bitcoin closes above 11147 in 2.75 hours from now, that would be bullish and Boblawblaw should then be able to stick to his retirement plans and sell @ 12500 very soon.

So, good luck to you if you find yourself with only sporadic appearances in the official books of state, if you are a rural migrant without a recorded birthdate, identifiable parents, or an ID number. Sorry if you lack markers of stability, if you are a rogue traveller without permanent address, phone number or email. Apologies if you have no symbols of status, if you're an informal economy hustler with no assets and low, inconsistent income. Condolences if you have no official stamps of approval from gatekeeper bodies, like university certificates or records of employment at a formal company. Goodbye if you have a poor record of engagements with recognised institutions, like a criminal record or a record of missed payments.

I missed this from 2016

Thanks for sharing this. It moved me.

Don't know if you guys frequent the "Mining" section but its brutal there.


Basically Bitmain pulling another Bitmain and over-supplying the market with an ASIC for SIA. Noobs ordering a bunch of units expecting $500/day and while UPS is dropping off these ASICs the difficulty triples in about a day.

Also people going CRAZY over GPUs. People basically paying $1500 for GPUs and Computer Stores either Out of Stock on PSUs or REFUSING to sell PSUs without a Mobo+CPU combo.


While I'm just chilling and mining on my good old 7970 from the Litecoin days on my old trusty Corsair 750W with ROI being the least of my worries.

https://pool.viabtc.com/announcement/27/
On January 20th, 2018, at block height of 505050, a hard fork will happen on Bitcoin (BTC) blockchain and create a new blockchain asset - Bitvote (Token: BTV; Website: http://bitvote.one/). Bitvote (BTV) increases its blocksize to 8MB and adopts SegWit, which to a large degree has improved it transaction efficiency. BTV supports CPU mining with CryptoNight algorithm and has a total supply of 21 million.

You know the other day with the big mem pool spike. I traced one of the spam address's back to ViaBTC.   They have something going on over there for sure.

People are mining on Nvidia these days?

I am calling for a nice little spike within 36 hours.

I'll keep HODLing on my $12.5k sell order for another 36 hours.

If it plunges below $10k, I will find you, and make you my bitch.

No lube.

Whoaza!!!!!!

Prediction making has consequences these days.   Us HODLers, and perhaps especially Toxic, are hoping for a spike in the upwards direction in the coming day and a half.

Regarding my own predicting abilities, I frequently am pretty whimpy in that respect.  I consider that currently we have a BTC  price battle that is largely ranging in the $10k to $12.5k arena, so certainly Bob is betting on price movement into the upper end of the range - which seems to be reasonable, yet really nothing to write home about until we bounce either above the range into the $13ks or below the range, into the 4 digits.  Maybe I am close to 50/50 in my current thinking regarding which way the break out is going to go, and I suppose that if I was forced in either direction, I would give a slightly more favorable to up.. perhaps 51%

What close is in next 1hr from now in your oppinion?
11208 right now!

yup, for alt coins. then exchange for btc.

vs amd, they cost more up front but are more power efficient in the long term.

Is bitcoin dead if it doesn't close above 11147?
