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

[Torque]

Breaking:  China's Congress has passed a constitutional amendment that removes presidential term limits, allowing President Xi Jinping to remain in office indefinitely.

Breaking: Communism (*cough* Fascism) working exactly as intended.

Good morning Bitcoinland.

Still bouncing along in the $9k range I see... currently $9200USD/$11783CAD (Bitcoinaverage).

Ho hum.

How long did the withdrawal symptoms last, and how bad were they?

I was pretty angry and irritable for a solid 6-8 weeks before I started chilling out.

I guess I'm lucky. I quit a 2-pack-a-day habit 33 years ago almost by accident.

I caught such a nasty cold/flu/pneumonia I was in bed for 3 days barely getting up to re-hydrate myself and go to the can.

When my fever broke and my mind cleared, I realized I hadn't had a smoke in 3 days. I didn't need to quit. I just needed to not start smoking again.

Quitting is not an action. Smoking is. All you need to do to quit is to not do anything. To smoke you need to acquire tobacco and fire, light the cigarette and inhale. Unless you're actively smoking, you've already quit. Just don't start again.

I suffered no withdrawal symptoms. Maybe I had them when I was in my feverish delirium and wasn't aware of them.

I also didn't suck out like a whiny little crybaby and totally avoid tobacco smoke. I continued to mix a little tobacco in the occasional hash doob. I chose to sit in the smoking sections of smoking-segregated restaurants and in the smoking cars of trains.

I found that non-smoking sections were full of anti-smoking fussbudgets and I find secondhand stress far more offensive than secondhand smoke. The smoking sections generally have a higher caliber of people. I also found that people take their annoying brats to the non-smoking areas.

Quitting is easy. Just don't smoke.

Very Zen. I can see that might apply to a whole load of other things. "I am no longer an alcoholic", "I don't cheat", "I'm not a murderer".

Re: the despairy bearishness that is seeping in here: I like it, as to me that's a nice contrarian indicator. Is there a good reason to think that giant capitulation candle on 6 Feb actually wasn't?

For anyone looking for some Sunday afternoon fork action,  I just completed two fork dumps which have recently become dumpable.

1) BTCP (Bitcoin Private) I used the electrum client from  from https://btcprivate.org
Sell on https://tradesatoshi.com (Currently about $60/BTC)

2) UBTC, Client from https://www.ub.com/project/wallet  sell on https://www.okex.com  (Currently about $16/BTC)

You got a bum price if you used okex. It's trading about 2x on exx.com. Can confirm able to withdraw BTC from there without verification.

There's a great site to see which exchanges to use for airdrops: forkdrops.io. Note, you can filter the exchange list by coin also.

Thanks mate.
Managed to do UBTC but BTCP doesn't support segwit wallets and since the fork happened after I moved my coins to a Segwit enabled address I am screwed until they release a wallet that can do segwit.
By then the price will undoubtedky tank as usual.

I tried all the exchanges and I ended up with Okex because it was the only one that worked for me today, even now exx.com doesnt work, but you are right Okex is the worst price for UBTC, better check the others just in case they are working for you.

Feels a bit sad all these forks coming to and end, its been real nice while it lasted.
The only ones I'm waiting on now are Lightning Bitcoin (LBTC) & Bitcoin Atom

If you are in a hurry you can dump your coins here r/bitcoinairdropstrades.

I dumped my LBTC&BTCP and some other airdrop coins before they even get listed on the exchanges. OTC trades are risky though. Don't do it If you don't know what you are doing.

Yeah, these third-rung exchanges can be very flaky. Always try the sites though Tor if you're having problems.

Not sure we've seen the end of this forking madness yet, but our free bags of money do seem to be dwindling.

Legacy addresses definitely have an advantage when it comes to claiming shitforks. The BTCP wallet from Bittrex will open up for withdrawal soon, so there could be some big dumpage. You'll also want to sell, as there's chatter that they'll burn unclaimed coins next year.

Yep, sold my LBTC there. Has been doing around 0.5%, but the price seems to have dipped recently.

ooooooh

[d_eddie]

It's moving... it's moving...

I love the smell of REKT'd shorts in the morning.

Squishy sounds from not so far away

At least Bitcoin trading doesn't give you increased flatulence, nausea and intestinal cramping (unless you just lost $1 million).

Perspective: Apologies in advance if this comes off as a brag-post, but fuck losing $1M. Your entire perspective changes when you see your portfolio swing $10M in the matter of a couple days.

Learn how to ride those waves for few years of HODLing and <insert Mr Bean on Rollercoaster.gif>

All I can do is sit back and either laugh or shrug. (Please keep in mind my entire stash at this point is "house money", so perhaps my perspective is atypical)

If Bitcoin trading is a serious cause of, no-bullshit real life stress like stomach cramps and other anxiety symptoms, then perhaps that is a sign you may be a bit over exposed.

Nevermind your physical health. That's just fundamentally not financially healthly.

yeah..from the $18k high I'm down more than 50%....from high in value...with more of this Mt. Gox drama...where he seems to sell at the low in a panic sell mode....my concern is

if the Mt. Gox trustee has a deadline where he needs to move all the BTC to USD...if so we could be looking at last January 2017 $1,000 BTC again

Best case right now I can see is 'sideways' as we digest this Mt.Gox stuff and that could go on all year (worse if he has a hard deadline to xfer BTC to USD)

FML indeed!

No kidding. Life's too short to stress yourself out over something like money.

I find the less you worry about it, the easier it comes.

You must be hodling a thousand Bitcoins if you watched your portfolio swing $10M within days.  

Maybe you handled it better because you were hodling rather than day trading like TERA. He got serious brain/nerve damage from it.

...
Oh yes this is me. I have serious brain/nerve damage from the sequelea of consequences of bitcoin trading and would return every satoshi for my old life back. I also lost a job and spent half of my profits supporting myself for a long time until I found my next job.

This should show some sense to those envious guys who say "you just got free money with this bitcoin thing".
Very few things in life are "free".
