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

I expected more.

[Last of the V8s]

I expected more.

This year is gonna be epic, have no fear.
There are no walls, only parabolic rises.

edit twitter comfirms rekt shorts at okex and bitmex.
and a rumored big buyer now happy with 10k support https://twitter.com/MacroScope17/status/964683093717192710

onwards to 12k

... next phase would be an equivalent to when CISCO boomed by providing hardware boxes that perform bitcoin and lightning routing plug 'n play for secure network backbone roll-out and then after that we get into (ISPs) phase ... i.e. Lightning Network Providers (LNPs) will be the new AT&T, Verizon, etc

...if you subscribe to the analogy. Coinbase is becoming the joke toy internet dinosaur AOL turned out to be ... amazons and googles have yet to be sighted, imho. keep your powder dry.

Filecoin will be the killer App.

[Biodom]

This snowball effect will continue until the Singularity.

Sometimes I think that bitcoin itself is a manifestation of the upcoming Singularity, still at the lower part of the exponent.

Lulz... Here I'm thinking "Well, I need to sell another batch of coins before end of Q1 for tax, and figured $12k is as good a target as any". Looks like I should probably start loading up on Gemini again  

Didn't think we'd have this momentum so quickly.

(and there... I probably just jinxed this rally...)

$12k is good number. But I can think of better ones.

If you had more than 1000 Bitcoins and you were only another 100BTC sell away for retiring for good no matter if it is at 10K, 12K or whatever.... wouldn't you pull the trigger already? I know I would.

(and then I would hodl all the rest until it goes 100x more or nothing)

I'm a degenerate gambler, deep down, in places I don't talk about at parties. I'd risk it.

[Biodom]

yeah i like that

IP = Blockchain

replace the IP addresses with encrypted blockchain addresses

decentralize the ip layer - web 3.0 is here

isn't it somewhat similar to what Blockstack is trying to do, conceptually?

Major incident ongoing at Bitmex as shorts get rekt.  Sharp upturn in long:short positions shown by blue line bending back up.  

[JayJuanGee]

bit of a leg up to 10335. unexpected?

We had a 2 minute spot on Ellen today. I expected more.
I don't want to be a poor sport, but Richard Heart might have had a point. Wall street is just selling to mainstream audiences now, first CNBC, now daytime television. What's left? Where's the next gangster payout for yours truly?  

You are not a "poor sport".

You are a debbie downer, a party poop, a negative nancy, or a glass half-full thinker, which is not new for you.


In other words, you have had a tendency to grant the downside much more weight that it deserves, even when the news is good.  I think that we need to send someone over to you and Rosewater, and disable your BTC sell buttons.... you fucks...  You guys are crashing dee price of our little friends.... with all your negative thinking and undue influences        

Perhaps we could send user YourMother to be good for this job?  or even Tera or jbreher would work since even they are more bullish then you guys in these war scenarios.. I would not mind sending fatman, but probably he would end up creating alliances with your to join in with selling his .3472 BTC holdings.    

[HairyMaclairy]

Don’t worry. Main Street isn’t buying yet.  We have a long way to run.

Not sure if you are serious or not

If the day comes when I could "retire" with just 10% of my stash.... I will pull the trigger (on that 10%). Most probably I would do it gradually until that 10% reached. If ever. That's my level of gambling here. Not more.. not less.

2020... when I plan to buy Ireland.

Why Ireland?
New Zealand is popular, apparently, but you'll have to outbid P. Thiel there, lol.

Already funded my retirement portfolio in early January before BTC dropped below $11.5k. I now have the luxury of waiting for the next month for things to go higher before I sell to cover tax liabilities.

The next batch for Q1 tax will likely be the last batch I sell before 2020... when I plan to buy Ireland.

Then that's a different thing. You are now REALLY completely free to "play" with your stash. I thought you still needed another batch for completing your retirement funds target.

Congrats again!

[JayJuanGee]

[...Shit happens...]

Yup

hahahahaha...

your summary, is shit happens... ok.        


How about you summarize it as:  "I did not read that shit."     Would probably be more accurate.  

I fucking it read it all bit by bit. I am an extremely fast reader btw so i read *EVERYTHING*. And yup, I feel very identified with your post. Yesterday was my last mistake when I sent an order with a thousand digit wrong so it go executed inmediately. Nothing critical as my system is based on lots of very small orders and also I (nowadays) have on exchanges less than 10% of my total stash.

So yes, I feel you. And yes, my summary is: Shit happens

hahahahahaha...   fair enough.

Sticking to your guns.

Serious question:
Do you believe that said portfolio will be worth 2/5 of fuck all 10 years from now, or is it just an interim til -Ireland?

[BlindMayorBitcorn]

2/5ths of fuck all is a good number. But I can think of better...

See, nothing to contribute. Fuck all. Fuck it. Go Bitcoin Go.

Who has said higher highs and higher lows?
