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

[Spaceman_Spiff_Original]

I have a new first world problem.  The place where I am staying this week has extraordinarily low friction toilet roll holders.   This results in the entire roll of toilet paper spontaneously despooling and puddling on the ground.

Have never dealt with an issue of this magnitude before, I am at a loss how best to proceed.  

Say there is an ETF coming, and hope it doesn't drop any more.

Of course we know there is little chance of that happening after all your pumping and dumping.

TIL there are quite enough emu war memes on that internet to go round, and that it is seemingly impossible to write a good poem about a heron.

A haiku on a heroin heron heroine?

Bitcoin’s Latest Buying Streak Could Mean a Rise in Prices

https://cryptoslate.com/bitcoins-latest-buying-streak-rise-in-prices/

According to Bloomberg, the GTI Vera Convergence Divergence indicator is suggesting bitcoin is in its longest buying streak in six months. This means that if the buying pressure continues as it has over the past two weeks, then bitcoin could see a sustained increase in prices.
...
According to Greenspan, one of the clearest indicators of Bitcoin’s bright year ahead is the industries built around it. He said that companies involved in Bitcoin and blockchain are hiring at a “rapid rate,” with new projects coming online every day.
...
Mike McGlone, an analyst with Bloomberg Intelligence, said that the reduction of tax-related selling is a good reason for the bounce. He also noted that the duration of that bounce is something to keep an eye on, as last year’s bear market will most likely resume, he said.

OT: Here's Tim Cook's plan to get more people to upgrade their iPhones and turn Apple revenue around
https://finance.yahoo.com/news/apos-tim-cook-apos-plan-142600035.html

• In an interview with CNBC, CEO Tim Cook laid out his plan for getting revenue back on track by encouraging customers to upgrade their iPhones.
  Cook said he will focus on the factors Apple can control, like marketing its trade-in program and developing a payment plan for iPhones, rather than those he can't, like trade tensions between the U.S. and China.

A payment plan for a smart phone? Really? Here's an idea Tim, why don't you try making an iPhone that's actually fucking affordable? At $1000+, you've priced iPhones right out of the Average Joe mainstream market. Even in China. It's a fucking phone for god's sake, not a Rolls Royce.

Fuck Apple, Pixel phones all day every day!

That's less expensive than the scam that Apple is, but still it's not cheap...

And buying directly from Google is a bit too much for me concerning personnal data. That's like hearing "ok this time we directly put the viruses in the phone so you don't even have to give autorisation we automatically collect everything you do or say don't worry "

I have just bought a refurbished Iphone SE from China for 175€ to replace my older iPhone 5. No way I am buying their latest ridiculously overpriced models. Staying (at least) two generations behind seem to be the perfect spot for me. As you say it is a fucking phone, not a damn investment!

And what about their new Mac Mini's? $1200+ for the cheaper 128GB SSD NOT-UPGRADEABLE one? Are we crazy or what?

Pretty happy with my 2015 Mac Mini that I bought for $350 in Fry's offer and upgraded myself to 512GB SSD.

That being said, I like Apple products but WTF man....

That pricing scheme and outrageous markup might make some sense if you are a niche brand like Bang & Oluffsen or Loewe with very little market share but not in case of a mainstream seller. Where are economies of scale here? Oh yeah, in the profits account. They are marketing geniuses that we need to concede.

Rare to buy your fone outright in UK. Most common is 2 2-year contracts: Interest-free payment plan, plus airtime/data/sms plan.
Otherwise, yes, fuck FAANGs
1K$ gets you: 2 old laptops. 1 for node, 1 for wallet. 1 fuckgoats. 1 phone. 1 bottle Smirnoff. some btc dust for experimenting.

Don't think I can be bothered to read mainstream coverage any more, especially the Guardian which is paternalist shite.

The amount of energy people spend pointlessly shouting at BTC could power transactions for several years. Nothing they shout or do will change the outcome. It's out of their hands. Why not go off and find something more fun to do?

They do not want BTC to reach the general public, they defend with FUD and more FUD.

But still they [shitcoins] come. In two weeks’ time a new coin is due to be launched using the Mimble Wimble protocol (the cultural spectrum of the tech world does not seem to stretch much beyond Game of Thrones or Harry Potter), a turbocharged competitor to bitcoin that aims to return “power to the people” by keeping out big crypto-mining companies. It is called Grin – which, if nothing else, surely has the best name for a currency in the history of money.

insulting. we got
'over 9000'
'neo'

A cryptocurrency has to endure for decades in order to "make it".

Bitcoin has endured it's first decade, and is still the most popular and garners the most support by many orders of magnitude.

Other shitcoins have not. Thousands have died off or are simply zombie coins with no future.

Any new coin launched today is just reinventing the wheel, it is DOA. Nobody cares except the devs trying to scam people.

Bitcoin is the past, present, and future of cryptocurrency. Everybody realizes this now.

I don't care what you guys are saying or what BTC is doing tonight...

I have a date! ...after a nasty breakup with my previous gf...

Love cures everything, even a BTC dip...

Why am I posting this? Because I'm happy... and IN LOVE!

Keep HoDLing!!!
