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

Private key==bitcoin.

I... am confused as to why anyone here would be confused about this?

It’s still there

Somebody is definitely going to steal it.

It's a BIP38 password encrypted paper wallet. Impossible to sweep without knowing the password...

+1, Your funds are safe as long as you remember the passphrase.

IMO, keeping a BIP38 password makes your paper wallet less secure. There's a good chance that you'll forget that phrase by the time you need to extract bitcoin out of your paper wallet.

Compare the probability of getting your piece of paper stolen and the probability of forgetting the password; there are more chances that you'll forget your password!

I don't know, if not even the owner of the coins can move them, they must be SAFE.

Coinbase 15 min looks like a bearflag :/

Dump incoming.

It will last by Q1 of 2019, I guess. And by God's grace please bottom to $2k now.

I am sure that price will not be so low People shouldnt be scared from this panic in crypto world.2018 year was best year for cryptocurrencies so we shouldnt regret.It will be probably about 3000-4500$ something like that and it will grow every month a little  I dont expect anymore bull run with bitcoin just a little grow every month or every couple months ,something like in this photo:

I'm playing my endgame, closing all my positions as gracefully as I can before I get too drunk. When I'm done, I expect 30-35% on my play money, which will all go into the freezer for the Jan 3 action. Nice end of year. Happy 2019 everybody.

Good luck, in a few hours the same.

Why do you think there will be some action on Jan 3rd?

$182.5 million...

$182.5 million...

Bullish.

I just mean I'll get them off the exchange. Jan 3rd is "Not my keys, not my bitcoin" day, just that.

Bakkt confirmed today it will push back launch of its bitcoin futures from Jan 24 to "early 2019." Looks like the bear market will last longer. Hopefully they launch by 2020.

All you need to do is get a loan colaterised by BTC using NEXO and buy more BTC, 2019 is the year!

182.5 M$ not enough?
If those funds were already auditable, it would make some joyful noise for all crypto-enthusiasts.
At any rate, they accumulate - we should too.
Happy hoarding everybody

Imagine what would have happened if you had done that at the beginning of 2018; you'd have probably gone completely bankrupt by now!

Okay guys, there seems to be some misunderstanding with respect to paper wallet security.  Now, the misunderstanding might lie with me or it might lie with you so I am putting some Bitcoin on the line here as a test.  If you are correct, it should be as easy as 123 to steal the .0123 Bitcoin I have secured on this paper wallet.  If I am correct, then I can relax.

My fully exposed paper wallet:



Go 4 IT!  I will monitor the balance.

Come on, xhomerx10, this is a passphrase-protected wallet! It is obviously very secure... But this is not what Bitcoin ATMs produce, and I know people who just keep those ATM-generated wallets in their safes. Not a wise thing to do! And not everyone knows it is possible to passphrase-protect a paper wallet.

It's a good point though, and a good source of info for the paper wallet fans out there. Do the above ^^^ or risk losing your BTC!

As an aside on a personal note, I created over 1,080 images this last year for your viewing pleasure. That is even with the 6 month sabbatical I enjoyed over the summer. I plan on starting fresh charts after new years but will break out the OR when appropriate.

Cheers

Thanks for your contributions buddy, and happy new year!

I've created approximately 600 shitposts this year, and have posted 24 ass pictures.

I've created over 500 posts that I thought were hilarious and not one person laughed!

I just made my first Lightning Network payment. Great feeling and I am impressed how far LN came in one single year.

2019 will be F* Great for Bitcoin.

[El duderino_]

hey guy's

I know its getting old of me making something with all the HATS involved (i swear its the last one of 2018)
I really enjoyed myself being here, sometimes maybe a little too much but yeah can't help myself from time to time, IRL i'm a very social guy as well so ...... also not to bad I guess
being here has showed me that this thread is a real nice community and I just like spending time with those that wanna share and to teach others (guys like myself) somethings

so 2018 was a year of down and down and down again, but we all keep or minds on the longterm for BTC and will be keeping our minds on that ....

let 2019 be the start/preparation/tank fuelling of a nice BULLrun in some foreseeable futures

so GUY's wishing you all the best for the new year and beyond, be healthy, be happy, enjoy life, increase and appreciate BTC BTC BTC just don't be a slave of it, make sure to keep doing what you like to do etc

HAVE FUN THIS EVENING YOU WO's

think i got all the hats on it CHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERS

1. TREZOR: steal the device, then use the extraction method you refer to above to get the seed (and coins).
2. TREZOR: steal the device, then spend eternity trying to crack it (because it's passphrase-protected).
3. Paper Wallet: steal the wallet, then simply sweep the QR code to get the coins!

I'd go with a TREZOR...

paper wallets can have passphrases too. bip38 or bip39, cant remember. i used passphrase protected paper wallets for years till i swept them to sell off the bcash_lol crap.

now i have a trezor 1, trezor T and a ledger plus some paper wallets. spreading stuff out never hurts.

EDIT: Totscha already mentioned it (bip38) here
