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

[infofront]

If this is not bullish, I don't know what is:

Some of the biggest names on Wall Street are warming up to bitcoin, a virtual currency that for nearly a decade has been consigned to the unregulated fringes of the financial world.
The parent company of the New York Stock Exchange has been working on an online trading platform that would allow large investors to buy and hold bitcoin, according to emails and documents viewed by The New York Times and four people briefed on the effort who asked to remain anonymous because the plans were  still confidential.
....
Goldman will initially only be trading futures contracts linked to bitcoin’s price. But Goldman executives said they were looking at moving in the direction of buying and selling actual bitcoins.
The Intercontinental Exchange’s effort, if it pans out, could make bitcoin available to a much wider and more influential customer base, including other financial firms.
...

I am bullish and all for Wall Street warming up to bitcoin and getting in the game, but what are your thoughts on them manipulating the markets through the futures short and the regular trading for keeping bitcoin in a desired band yoyoing for months and years defeating the purpose of HODL for the regular folks?

Genuine question, this is my worry for the near future

Right now there aren't any viable fiat on-ramps for institutional investors, but that seems to be changing.

Also, I think they will want to dip their toes in the water by going long, at first.

Later down the line, there will be some yoyoing, and massive shorts. Ultimately though, Bitcoin is an idea who's time has come, and there's no way to stop it

the elon muskit virus is spreading !!!

Hey everyone, I recently did this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oPdnG03eI58) showing some of the recent Deception and Misdirection that the ZCash team has pushed on us all over the last 1.5 years and ofcoarse more recently over the last week with the announcement of the Z9.

....

another shit coin exposed, Zcash aka ZEC... and this one has still a billion dollar market valuation... what a shame, and when the centralized owner encountered some arguements, what did he do? he did a elon musk, and censored the great user whose post you can read in the quote. I hope the market will not support such trash... where to short it? there is an easy divided by 100 here... from 1 billion to 10 millions (which is way too much already for such a scam)... OPM really don't care...

and don't forget to hodl you profit in btc .

Good news! The bidwalls on bitfinex are real
Bad news! They're being eaten!  

EDIT: 9k broke, fresh 1k wall popped up at 8880 after dumping to 8870

Whale lords, save us from this mass of puny bears.

EDIT2: that wall was fake  

EDIT3: and now they came back with 700 at 8775 and 1000 at 8880

Sorry?

Dont worry. Theres still plenty of room for that last wave to 12-13k to manifest before the real drop.

[Torque]

In a bear market every news is bad news.
In a bull market every news is good news.

Just doesn't make sense.

Meanwhile in the stock market:

Company posts a quarterly loss, stock pumps +10%.
Company beats on earnings across the board, stock crashes -10%.

Just doesn't make sense.

1 - After a month of bull market, the price dropped, and that because of the Gates/Warren FUD.
--- This type of juvenile FUD coming from pure ignorance and stupidity works only short term

2 - The price dropped even more because of Kobayashi moving more coins from the Gox wallets.
--- I'm actually glad that Kobayashi is selling the coins now and not on September like we all thought. The fact that he started moving coins again is a good sign, because not only did he sell them fast, but it's clear that the investors have bought most of the coins at 9-10k. The market participants are panicking over the mtgox wallet movements while the institutional investors are buying from both Kobayashi and the idiots who are panic selling

3 - Once the MtGox phase ends, we will enter in the biggest BTC bull market ever, fueled by the constant adoption, the lightning network and the next halving event. It won't stop until it saturates its full potential of serving billions of users.

Oh, i bet he's doing both over-the-counter and exchange selling. He could also be using Bitfinex's feature for hiding the orders as-well, just so he won't scare the market. Unfortunately, because of the lack of transparency, we don't know the methods, but i'm glad that he's getting rid of them fast. This looks like a great opportunity for the big players to accumulate a ton of coins without creating volatility on the markets.

People are, on average, mentally impaired. They just buy/follow whatever is the flavour of the <insert current time>. Thanks to the very same people it's quite easy to become filthy rich even without finding something like Bitcorn early though. They're also quite entertaining to watch from time to time.

OK

but when you refill I want 2 merits for not meriting this...or...something

[marcus_of_augustus]

kobyashi's back in the game?? ... I thought he was on the sidelines until the civil rehabiliation question was decided by the judge?

He has already raised sufficient funds to bring Mt. Gox out of bankruptcy so he has no further authority to be trading in any remaining liquid assets until the civil rehabilitation question is settled.

smells like FUD to get some bankster cheap coins ... probably buffet trying to get bankster dick out of his mouth and mumbled something incoherent.
