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

When I was younger I was able to sleep in the middle of a death metal concert. Now at my middle age, I can't stand a slightest noise. Not just while I sleep but also when I am awake. Sometimes I just want to strangle the people who talk way too loudly. I want to shout at their faces "SHUT THE FUCK UP!"

Btw I bought some more today.

Patience remains a virtue, which should be more adhanced with age.  

I have come to understand that I am a bit less risk taking with personal confrontations as I have aged, because it seems quite likely that my face will not take a punch (or a sucker punch) as easily as I could have tolerated in my youth.

We also are more conscious on what we would have to lose if we "win" the fight. It is not worth it unless for survival reasons.

I was very crazy not so long ago. I have changed a lot too. Life is much easier this way.

I generally wouldn't risk it anyways.

You never know what kind of retard is carrying a knife or gun around and ready to stab the shit out of you before you can react, regardless of whether or not you have weapons of your own. There are also the incredibly rare events where you could get one-hit killed by pure chance (hitting your head on a fall down or whatever), regardless of how strong you may or may not be.

I'll take a potentially longer life over flaunting my ego any day. If I wanted to fight I'd do it in a more controlled environment.

Not sure how that would change if there weren't a select few people who'd be devastated if I randomly died though, as that's a very big motivator for risk-management for me.

As I said, one of the main factors is having or not having anything to lose. Something you usually don't know about your "opponent" (granted you don't chose them unless you are a retard constantly looking for proper "victims"). Also as you said there are always more skilled or armed opponents, more fierce or just more lucky.

I haven't worked so hard in my life to lose it all on a completely stupid animal overreaction that could be smartly avoided.

That being said, anyone is capable of anything depending on the circumstances of the moment. Even completely stupid things coming from an otherwise smart individual.

this really has been posted what a complete moron



"the current financial system is better??"

wow hope to never see him here again

and thats on land. the ocean is less forgiving.

Can we all move in with you? It sound very reassuring there.

In return for food, power and guns I can offer toast making, as long as it's your bread and you're not too fussy, and I'll keep my room tidy.

depends. youll have to meet our cats standards, which are much higher than ours.

you would also have to be ok with extremely loud music at all times of the day and night, mostly pink floyd, rush, lynyrd skynyrd and other southern rock, and punk. and the music the wife and i play on our instuments; hers played well and mine that sucks. plus random weapons fire at any time.

any negatives?

LOL   right?

When the guy next door to me moved in (the dude with the 69 Camaro drag car I have posted before) the first words he said to me were "hi, were your loud new neighbors".  Well, my band is in the front room, half stack, 400W of bass, drummer is a hitter, PA...we get along swimmingly.

I have always preferred to have noisy neighbours so that they don't complain if/when I want to be really noisy too. Would hate to have a "full silence lover maniac" as neighbour... especially one that wouldn't understand that the problem is theirs and should better isolate their home or buy some fucking earplugs if they are so maniac about it.

I would end up punching you in the face. Probably repeatedly. And worse if eventually getting out of prison for it was on the table.

I have this theory that humans fundamentally do not like other humans. We simply need one another to survive.

You remind me of Egill Skallagrímsson, he was an old Norse dickhead who managed to get under a lot of peoples skin and yet somehow got rich. When he got old and weak he asked his foster daughter if she would ask her husband to take him to the allthing (on Iceland), when asked why he said he wanted to spread his treasure on the ground and watch as people fought and killed each other over it (he was a bit bored, just sitting at home doing nothing). She said no, so he took his treasure chests and threw them in a swamp instead, just so no one could have them. https://youtu.be/4OwsgRcqIx0?t=1044

Joining the choir, welcoming D. Lerk - apparently a newbie only as far as post count goes. And a tip of the hat to our crusty gentleman who baited him in.

Russia is preparing an investment in Bitcoin to replace the US dollar as a reserve currency in a bid to tackle US sanctions, according to a Russian economist with close ties to the Kremlin.
Cryptocurrencies have seen a surge of interest in Russia, with President Vladimir Putin expressing interest in the digital assets in recent months. Mr Ginko believes Bitcoin and the wider cryptocurrency industry now account for 8pc of Russia’s GDP, and investment to bolster the country’s reserves with Bitcoin could start as soon as February.

“[The] Russian government is about to make a step to start diversifying financial reserves into Bitcoin since Russia [is] forced by US sanctions to dump US Treasury bonds and [take] back US dollars,” Mr Ginko said.

“These sanctions and the will to adopt modern financial technologies lead Russia to the way of investing its reserves into Bitcoin.”

Were those russian barts? Unlikely, but possible.

If there were any Russian Barts at all I'd assume they'd come with something more official and be much bigger as well. The FOMO should be quite big then. Until then it'll be accumulation time with whales making waves to scam the little retail investor out of their corn.

my sincere excuses
if it was posted already co brother in HAT

[D. Lerk]

Welcome mate. How has your ride been since then?

Great fun. Got some stories saved for opsec-friendlier places...


Even then though, people were saying it was too late, all the gains had happened. But its not just about when you get in, but for how long you stay in. Orders of magnitude increases, like compound interest, soon get very real. Lots of people had thousands, tens of thousands of coins but let them slip away. Look at the bearwhale: 30,000 coins dumped at $300. Unimaginable amounts. Except that just 300 coins would have had 2/3rds equivalent $$$ at our ATH a couple of short years later. Two orders are certainly possible again. No one knows. This is just the most asymmetric bet of our times.


Thanks also for the generous welcome, vapourminer, kurious, and LFC.

Guys the Russians are not coming.   That’s a Twitter circle jerk, nothing more.

Also just read small BOB post

@BOB don’t you dare leaving us!

just to be sure he see this

do not leave us < ------- NO HOMO!!!

[BTCMILLIONAIRE]

Not sure if it was posted before. Just entertaining the idea of a Trillion Dollar Bitcoin. That would imply a value of $10,000 per Satoshi. And thus either food prices in the hundreds of thousands or Bitcoin only existing among the ultra hyper mega wealthy Billionaires to Pentillionaires.
If that ever happened traditional fiat currencies would either be dead and Bitcoin would be the de facto global currency, or it'd be only used to purchase whole countries on planets or some shit like that.

Either never going to happen (most likely) or not in our lifetimes, but sure fun to think about the potential implications of such a valuation.

Ah no, I used inb4 more along the lines of "in before the event plays out" as opposed to trying to say that you've reposted (which I neither know nor care about).

No. I have never really understood the exact meaning of the INB4 expressions, but it seems to mean something like current moment is before something that would probably happen in the future. So, according the crazy inflation of your post now is before and in the future there will be Bitcoin pentimillionaries if that comes to reality. Something like that.

It's hard to explain some obscure expression when english is not even my language lol

[realr0ach]

Trollgoossens, did you notice there was no real capitulation so far like in the 2014/2015 bear market?  Now, I'm not sure the small Micgoossens brain can understand this or not, but bitcoin trades 100% identical to a pump and dump. It's also a fact the market is entirely controlled by a single entity on Bitfinex.  

Since it trades exactly like a pump and dump, this single entity would never attempt to pump the price higher unless he can shake out the majority of market participants and force them to try and buy-in higher.  That means there will not be any price rise from this entity unless a shakeout occurs if his goal is to try and profit because he doesn't want everyone to dump on him.  That is, unless the single entity controlling the price is the US govt/ESF or something and they don't care about losing money and want the price to go up to trick people into a cashless society slavery system.
