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

I think I'll skip lunch....

Complete speculation but...

I believe that Craig Wright signed a very large monetary deal with some investors after giving them the impression that he was Satoshi and that he could not release his BTC until 2020.

Whatever deal this is, he is desperate to get as many bitcoins as he can before then. He tried to make BCH the "real bitcoin" but that didn't work...so now just make up some fear about Segwit the he will "reveal in 2019" to drive down the price so he can get as many coins as possible to fulfill his part of the deal. Looks like he needs the price to drop to around $1k to be able to pull that off. Not going to happen.

There is no FUD on segwit, the threat is real. Perhaps do some reading on the subject?

TL;DR plz?

If a malicious actor were to gain control of 51%+ of the network hash power, he could change the network rules, rescind segwit, and take all the coins that were in segwit addresses.

Of course, there's a significant chance no one would use the compromised network except the attacker, which would make the whole thing moot.

Ah so segwit's problem is that it's 51%-fuckable. Yawn.

(Not directed to you, infofront. I would have liked the OP PoolMinor to reply and argue.)

It's not just "51%" fuckable.... Segwit nodes/miners, exchanges, users, etc would never accept those blocks spending Segwit... so no, if you want to do that you don't need any particular hashrate, just create a fork with whatever hashrate and spend them. Good luck getting that chain accepted anywhere.

It's the same old anti-segwit FUD. Nothing to see here.

Greg posted a detailed explanation of CSW's most recent fraud: https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/81115/if-someone-wanted-to-pretend-to-be-satoshi-by-posting-a-fake-signature-to-defrau/81116#81116

I think that sometimes theymos, realist as he may seem to be, can sometimes end up arguing a bit too much on the bearish side of bitcoin matters.  It has been shown in the past.  hahahahahaha   in other words, take theymos's predictions with a grain of salt.  

True, I've historically erred much more on the side of bearishness. But since I mostly hodl, only speculating with smallish amounts if at all, that means that I'm rarely disappointed, and sometimes happily surprised.

You know what I fear? I fear going down on a girl that I think is clean and looking in the mirror the next morning to find little balls of dirty toilet paper stuck in my beard that rubbed off of her taint.

Lifehack don't go down on girls. You are welcome.

That's the worst advice I've ever heard.

Well at least the miners would, indeed, accept it (we're assuming a 51% majority aren't we). But nodes, economic users, everyone else... good luck with that.

Yeah. Yawn.

@Ibian: "Lifehack don't go down on girls". You sound like a muslim, you know? Maybe reevaluate, depending on the girl.

@QuestionAuthority: "I fear going down on a girl that I think is clean". I think you can validate your assessment of cleanliness quite soon, unless you have a serious cold. Amended lifehack: don't go down on a girl you don't know if you have a serious cold!

I only go down on Muslim truck drivers, but only when they haven't got out their driving seat for 12 straight hours and the ambient temp remains above 40c.

The musky film they sport is truly heavenly, better than the finest foie gras.

I am scared of Lauda & JayJuanGee's toxic masculinity:

With a serious cold, it's going to be a serious waste.

Currently looking like a bear pennant.  Targeting a break to the downside by Tuesday, although could be as soon as a few hours from now.

whole year? three?   ohno

hmm
Yesterday while checking  good old bitcoinwisdom charts, i noticed that after BTC-e shutdown counters stopped @ 41.x LTC and 25xx for bitcoin. litecoin has already dropped back.
Bitcoin has greater value, so current price could be some reasonable bottom for both to make final consolidation before new bull run. [my imaginary, not technical support  ]

 If bitcoin should drop to 2500, Im all in.
