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

[Searing]

I read just now, that the 'lightning network' for BTC is now LIVE...

here is the link

seems sketchy as the only article I can find...do they mean just live on 'mainnet' to test

or is it really ready for prime time?

Yes it’s live in main net. No, it’s not really ready.

Open source software is dangerous.  There is no central authority to hold your hand. 

yeah, the joys of having enough BTC to matter.  Half the time I walk around smug like I really pulled something off...the other half I'm in panic mode and waving arms

like a 12-year-old child, having a panic attack....crypto always drama, drama, drama

ah, the joys of being in HODL mode

You can buy stickers on the live mainnet.

Wonder if they are now going to try to squeeze the shorts again... Sunday surprise? We will see. Still have quite a way to go to force liquidations.

Whenever I hear a bunch of exuberant comments about trains etc I know a brutal bulltrap is coming

BTCBTC going to candy mountain :-D weee

[RoomBot]

Torque, Bitcoin does not give a shit what is good or bad for him. In the past the price has reduced by 90% and look where we are now. The only thing we can do is pave their way for exponential growth and adoption. Artificially restricting its growth causes a direct benefit for the altcoins.

Oh sorry, didn't realize that I had my foot on the Bitcoin brake. I guess I'll take my foot off now...   

Don't BCrash!

Hmmm let’s watch the Kraken USD USDT pair closely.  This may explain BFX rally.






Edit:   Link to article here:  https://www.coindesk.com/tether-confirms-relationship-auditor-dissolved/amp/?__twitter_impression=true

It is fairly obvious that if Bitfinex fired the auditor, they would have said so.  Accordingly we have to assume the auditor has quit. Which probably means Tether has gone bad.  Hang onto your pants boys and girls - this could get a little volatile.

The first cheering half-tit of a calf run?
The lady knows how to handle flow.
Merited as a micro push.
But you invite me to your next party okay?

Big arbitrage opportunities between Bitfinex and Coinbase/GDAX right now

It's not sketchy at all. Most of the software has not even reached Beta version, however a lot of people are already using it on the mainnet:



800 channels: https://lnmainnet.gaben.win.

Do they have a 'timeline' or are they being the usual 'bitcoin core' coy ...about if/when/ever anything they do is 'ready'

LN developers =/= Bitcoin Core developers although some might have contributed to both. It will be ready whenever they feel it can guarantee that users won't lose any funds due to a weird bug.

Oh god why are not understanding this 
People are rushing to the exit of Tether. They buy all the coinz on tether exchanges because nobody will be the one holding the tether-bags.
So in the end: Tether-exhanges will have a massive! premium to non-tether exchanges.

Yep, definitely a break to the upside. Providing it isn't false, I think next resistance will be above 14k, close to 15k maybe.

Some people are exiting Tether.  Not everyone by any means.

I do believe part of this pump is people leaving Bitfinex.  I have mostly exited Bitfinex now. 

USDT momentarily dropped to 93 cents on Kraken and then back up to 97 cents. I think there must be a roaring arbitrage play going on here.

OK everybody is exiting tether, who would want this coin anyway?
But all this -fake?- ether money -if this is true -  which was used to buy BTC/crypto... 'bitfiniex shuttiing down related to corruption/market manipulation' is an article I would prefer not reading about now.
Hopefully they can stretch it out for a year or so :p

LOL

BCC diving for $10

I saw one of Trevon's videos recently where he was telling people not to panic about BCC dropping to $30. He went on to explain that all the smart people should keep buying because BCC will come back up without a doubt. I wonder how that's working out for him...

Oh, I have no doubt whatsoever that a couple pumps will be executed on this piece of shit.
