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

[starmman]

This is one of my favorite altcoin fails. From $27K to $27M and all the way back down.

Awesome - that was off my radar - can see a few others going that way too

[sirazimuth]

Oh, come on! Cardano? What the hell is that shit?

Just look at that beautiful, textbook perfect pump and dump chart.

https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/cardano/#charts

Did you fall for it? 

Perfect indeed. Reminds me a lot to IOTA: https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/iota/

A friend of mine fall on the IOTA shit. He didn't listen. He is still bagholding.

I reckon most bitcoiners baghold a pet shitcoin or 2 for shitz n giggles.
Though most probably won't admit to it in this thread.
(well I won't anyway... and besides it's OT, though that hasn't really been an issue lately.)

[HairyMaclairy]

PAC was my personal favourite.



The market cap evaporated at the same time the price spiked - they did some sort of 10,000:1 consolidation.  

[JayJuanGee]

I scalped ~2% out of Cardano last time it dumped.   It was a close cut thing and I won’t do it again.  

These shitcoins are going on a one way trip and it’s not worth playing the bounces.  

Was it a d_eddie scalp ^(tm)  or some other random inconsequential non-name brand variety?

segwit2x delayed until 2018


still nothing from DCG except the tea-girl

I got in trouble for this - calling Meltem Demirors the tea-girl of the Digital Currency Group.

How can I have over-estimated her so?

She is the floor-scrubber for that pit of scammers.

WO- the only place where a correction becomes a P&D, except of course btc

[bluebits]

This is one of my favorite altcoin fails. From $27K to $27M and all the way back down.

Scenario: New Years 2019
BTC Price: 3800

'Prime' Alts

ETH   .043   165
XRP    3k     .10
LTC    .008   30
BCH    .08    304
XMR   .015    57

I would consider these numbers as reflecting prices that held up pretty well.

Topics:

-Will any alts diverge significantly before the crash is over? A new bull run in 202x will see big winners that outperform, can any existing alts outperform (less relative loss counts) in a crash?

-Are these numbers reasonable? Is there any chance that a crash doesn't hurt alts more than BTC? They are all up way more this run in % terms, so simple thought is that they have much further to fall.

UPDATE     AND GOOD LUCK

can't wait to visit all the new hights ..... i'm just not a very patient person only on BTC i remain to stay patient ....... the rewards are so big for just beeing patient

well the 1 btc at 475 july 2016 i think it was worked out well for Lisk...6500 of them

and moved LTC mining to BTC like 99.999% of everyone from back in the day.the case could be made should never have

moved any LTC to BTC at all...would be way way ahead now paper profit wise

it all depends on the direction you slipped into this ...me from mining since 2013 how it has played out

but mining may be back to hobby mode (couple units for fun) by the end of this year

spending crypto for dubious asic miners makes no sense anymore

so my Sh*tcoins have been berry, berry good to me!

(also the BTC hoard is in tact since 2015 also ..thou shall not be touched!...my beanie babies someday...so be it!)

mine, mine, mine

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-03-16/fewer-americans-hold-cryptocurrencies-than-you-probably-think

Great stuff from Bloomberg there.
What do you reckon the real figure for ownership is? 0.5%?

The study found that the majority of crypto buyers are Millennials, with more than 17 percent claiming to have holdings, as compared with 8.75 percent of Gen Xers and 2.24 percent of Baby Boomers. Of those who took the plunge, most invested in Bitcoin or Ether coins.

look like  many are young buyers. 20 years older, 2 times less percent of buyers.

She is the floor-scrubber for that pit of scammers.

I could never summon a crumb of respect for a person with a name that stupid, let alone via their actions.

It sounds like a failed Indonesian supercar project.

If by a few you mean nearly all...  I agree

[HairyMaclairy]

WO- the only place where a correction becomes a P&D, except of course btc

There are 1564 coins on CMC.  About 1560 of them are total jokes.  

[El duderino_]

Nice one

Bitcoin: a digital currency with known & limited supply, an open global network, and not controlled by politicians.

US Dollar: a digital currency with unknown & unlimited supply, a highly restricted territory-based network, and controlled by politicians. Which will win, longterm?

[tonyq]

In other news.....Ethereum is being smashed downwards mercilessly today.

Actually Ethereum is one of the more stable Altcoins at the moment.

Only down by 2% in relation to BTC.

20% fall in the last  5 days.

[bluebits]

Lets get some bounce ideas:


'Standard View'

Last level of strong support from the past remaining is around 5500. Look for a reversal in this area.

Other Possibilities

Major liquidity withdrawal event occurs (Tether, big exchange closing, country closing)

-> Big event could push it down to cycle lows of 3k, if not for a while then certainly in a mega hammer candle

-> What else?

I invested in bitcoin long time ago because I am counting this new technology will go up. I dont believe into bull s h i t crap like "not controled by politicians and banks and all that crap"
-bitcoin is controled by many people
-the downside is also its unsafe, somecan point gun to your head to force you transfer and its bye bye, you can be f uc ed k 10 times more compared if someone try to steal you some other stuff, its very unsafe, i fell 10 times more confortable with money in bank

but i like bitcoin, but i dont pretend some stuff like many of you here do while using words like "oh those banks, oh those politicans"
bitcoin can be, was and will be also manipulated like hell with pump and dump...you dont mention that? and i didnt even touch manipulation that roger and company can do, or some other new big companies
but i still like bitcoin

also you talking banks are bad, in order for you guys and me reached high figures with bitcoins, many many people also lost money....this is not "we win all", you have what you have because lots of money got broke while trying all sort of stuff with bitcoin

i cant believe how blinded are some people
i still love bitcoin, but i am realistic
