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

[bitserve]

Congrats Bitserve! and honorable mentions to Bones and Xyzzy who were so damn close and Gab0 who first spotted the exact photo location

Fucking Amazing Sleuthing guys.  I am really impressed.  Never expected anyone to get the exact location of the newspaper stand where the shot was taken.   And when I posted the very first picture and people were saying New York, I was baffled as to how you could possibly figure that out from the photo.

There is actually a sign saying West 47th Street in the background between the red and blue shirted men but I think too blurry to read with the image compression.

Thank you very much Hairy!

It has been a very nice game. Any more of these in the future?

From the FTSE 100 price it seems the picture was taken on Friday after session close, are you still there for vacation?

If people are moving to SF to use the public toilets, there are probably bigger problems. 

How many times does the tragedy of the commons need to be demonstrated?

Couple week/month

Also likely the amount of times millions must be killed by socialism for people to learn that socialism is kinda bad.

You know Bitcoins is being sideways when people start arguing over poop.

Yes I have more planned for when I go somewhere else interesting. Glad you enjoyed.

I thought my opsec was pretty clean (scrubbed the Exif data) but your observation regarding the timing of the photo is dead on. Friday night NYC time.  

I am also in far too good a mood to argue politics any further so will need to leave that to another time!

Mine's the best and I'll scratch out anyone's eyes who disagrees. It even has its own Poohub channel.

First thing I checked.

This is not true. In my country, many people want socialism, especially those who lived with it. Although in the days of socialism in the 30s, many was killed and many was imprisoned. The younger generation does not want socialism in my country. But in some neighboring countries they want to

Why's Bitcoin just pumped up to $6500? Was it because someone bought some coins, or was it a more profound reason?

There is NO free shit army without toilets, without free shit toilets, it's axiomatic.

No matter how good your opsec is, the more you interact the bigger the probability of leaking some critical data that could turn valuable by cross-checking with other available data.

ie: even if you removed the critical exif data in this case (gps location) from the original picture you still forgot to re-scrub the files after cropping. In this case it is useless to know that you used an Apple device (it could be pinpointed to the exact one, but I am too lazy to carry on a profile comparison) to edit/crop the picture, but it could have been something more critical and worth following in other cases.

Maybe someone wanted to put an end to the poop discussion?

Whatever the "reason", let the "pump" go on

[HI-TEC99]

I would suggest maybe you need more public toilets in SF.    

Perhaps SF could adapt Paris's pissoirs to handle poop in addition to pee.

[bitserve]

^^ What's the point of peeing in that thing when the pee ends up on the floor anyways?

It's no different to a public toilet. They always have piss all over the floor anyway.

On the other hand, it might be time for us to take a page out of our own playbook and design a new cyber weapon. Instead of targeting centrifuges, we should consider targeting currencies. Iran clearly hasn’t gotten the message. Maybe “Transaction Declined” will get their attention.
