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

[STT]

I'm not sure if I should pull some of my top bids and hope for lower.   I want to get a good price, but I don't want to try catching falling knives either. Perhaps I should just pull all my bids. There is a superstition that one should never gamble on their birthday. Although, it is not quite my birthday in my part of the world, yet. However, it is Friday for most of the world now.

I get a free gamble sent to me every birthday.   Its kinda bad timing maybe thats why they do it and they hedge every bet I take anyway no doubt.      With take a falling knife right now, the sensible plan is wait for it to land in the mud first     So confirmation of some kind above 10,000 or so is the higher probability bet then estimating below that line.   So yea a buy is possible but its not normally done below a ceiling I guess, that is worse odds or gamblers lucky hopes.

So 9308 is an area I watch for reaction, just a quick idea.   Last i heard was a pullback was on the cards so I guess that trader was right there, I was more bullish

Never thought I'd be able to knock the books down hundreds of dollars with my measly stash. Sure, they're Canadian dollars, but still. Shit is grim.

I suspect this dump is caused by Venezuelas president Maduro dumping his BTC for $$$

In case you did not know he is desperate for $$ since his state-owned oil company are now in default on about US$1.7 billion.
Todays 738 million pre-ico sale of his petro coin has given him enough money to begin the bail out that will prevent further economic collapse of his government.

Can you actually buy his petro tokens with bitcoins? I haven't found out how you can buy them yet. Where do you buy them from?

 Seems like they hastily named this new token; Petro because it's backed by petroleum but now Petro gold because it's backed by gold?  IS it a crypto backed by oil and underwritten by gold?

 Aieeeeeee!

Are you out? Partially? And... MARKET order?!?!

Ok question for the snowbirds. I know you're here. Is Quadrigacx above board? I have no reason to doubt they are, but I've never trusted then before with large amounts.

I've used them for a few years with no major issues.  Banking is always a problem, but they keep managing to find new ways, so I expect that to continue.  

Thanks. They had a real handy debit option at one time. I noticed that's gone now.

Yeah, as is the withdraw to credit card option.  

On a side note, I just regained access to my kraken account, after more than a year.  Good thing, 'cause I need that 6 bucks for... Nevermind.  Can't do anything with six bucks on kraken.  not buy crypto, not withdraw, nothing

Yeah, I used to spread it across QCX Bitstamp and Kraken for bigger sells.  That and employ some patience!  Have to wait weeks for the bullshit to settle and get it into your bank account anyway, so just plan on at least a month start to finish (limit orders, you fool!)

No sir, but I'm preparing myself mentally. I believe I've become too emotionally attached to my investment. And I don't think we'll see $12k this year.

Oh... well.... I feel you. I am so emotionally attached to my investment that I can't even dare to think about selling it all. Anyways, my target is much longer than 1 year. Time will tell.

Oh ye of little faith.

I did cancel my sell order @ $12.5k tho.

Gonna chill out for the next few days and see how things are looking Monday.

Mmm. Beer...

I had faith at $400. At $9k I think Wall street is toying with me. I ain't mad at it. But still..

Looks like Petro sale was a fizzer and hasn’t raised a cent.

100% agreed.

I think major shakeout coming up, unfortunately.

Hopefully its for the best.
