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

[kenzawak]

According to a survey conducted by Bitwise (who made an ETF proposal 2 weeks ago), 58% of US investors would prefer to invest in BTC via an ETF.

"the survey saw participation from 150 financial advisors in the US market. When asked what would make them allocate Bitcoin in their client portfolios, 54% of them said “better regulations” and 35% said “the launch of an ETF.”

LFC encouraged me to step by, so I figured I had to take a look

It can be boring in periods of sideways price action but there are some clued up posters in here, some good chart analysis but best of all when we’re in an epic bull run this place is great

The memes, the happiness is really something.

Here’s to the next epic bull run, probably 6-12 months after the next halvening

You have sunk to the low levels of scheduling our next bull run.      I am sad.

Come on JJG, pull up a stool. I’m waiting for you at the bar

Let’s discuss the next halvening & subsequent bull run

Why don’t you lease a boat for 18 months?  

https://www.boatbureau.com/boat-rentals-thailand/

Maybe you can do some sort of long term deal because those are silly short term prices.

Buy when the market bounces back.  

Any time I've checked out boat rentals you can usually buy the boat for about 4 to 6 months of rental.

I'm planning on buying a cheap $10k small boat now then buy something better later. It just needs to float and get me 12 nautical miles. We're also in high season here so all the boat prices are more expensive.

Always buy boats AFTER high season. ANyways $10K is cheap enough to not deserve much consideration I guess.

Heh. It's literally a grab in the pocket. Was not always so.

We ought to make sure not to forget how things used to be, or at least could have been. If we really are the new 1%, then that comes with obligations. Let's not misuse our newfound power.

Looks to me like there are already those picking up the current 1%'s attitudes.

I bet the sociologists love this thread.

True... I am just giving you a bit of shit about your scheduling of our next "epic."     

By the way, I don't want to be party poop, but even though I agree with your that there are really decent odds that the next epic is going to take place on or before your scheduled timeframe.. (probably odds in the 60% arena..), I hope that you (and everyone else) are (is) psychologically and financially prepared in the event that it does not happen?

On an unrelated side note. It's quite interesting how the subsets of shared opinion holders on this thread seem to go through all possible permutations.

So what's the deal with Coinbase limits? I logged in after a while and I'm limited to $200 per day transfer from my bank account.

I have everything verified. How do I request an increase?

So what's the deal with Coinbase limits? I logged in after a while and I'm limited to $200 per day transfer from my bank account.

I just checked my pro.coinbase.com limits. No change. Still... large.

On the upper right pulldown, there should be a link to the 'Limits' page. On that page is a link:

"To be considered for higher withdrawal limits, please request to increase limits."

While that takes you to a form specifically for withdrawal limits, it has a free-text box where you could conceivably clarify your request. Might be a quicker route than support@coinbase.com.

I have my own business, I’m comfortable (not rich) financially. I just see bitcoin as my way out of you know what I mean.

My way out of having a mortgage, running my business, employing people, working 7 days a week.

I’ll be fine if bitcoin doesn’t moon but I’ll be a hell of a lot happier if it does.

For the record - My savings (net worth) is much more bitcoin than fiat heavy. I know it’s stupid but it’s a risk I’m willing to take.

We're in a similar boat. I'm the General Manager of our family business. I make good money, am largely my own boss, etc. However, it still sucks. It's work, can be stressful, the hours can be long, and it is definitely not how I would be spending most of my time, given the choice.

Also, my BTC bags are much heavier too. The way I see it, when BTC explodes again, I retire. Or it doesn't, and I have to keep being a working stiff til I'm 62+, like everyone else.
If my bags were primarily in fiat and other investments, I would be working til I'm 62+ anyway. And then if Bitcoin exploded, I'd just have a slightly more comfortable retirement.

The way I see it, I'm betting a bit of possible retirement comfort for the opportunity to retire 20+ years earlier. Seems like a reasonable bet to me.

Our situations sound close to identical info. I’m in my early 30’s, I’ve always hated structure, always had a bit of a sense of entitlement. I really don’t want to work until my 60’s but I will if I have to.

I think everything will be OK though, bitcoin will moon & we’ll all be laughing.

I think so too. Looking forward to the 100K party already.

That is not a fucking yacht, that's a cruiser or a warship or a titanic.  

This one is a yacht:



And this one:



All I want in this life is a fine sailboat (Bavaria or something similar, no need to be  any bigger than 45ft., I feel like 36ft would do just fine for me.) and enough time to explore the world. I can get the damn thing right now but I don't have the time. Still gotta work. :/

[DeathAngel]

I do love the look of all these yachts, I just want a huge house & a holiday home plus a couple of fast cars though. Having a yacht seems so much hard work.

Any way - patiently waiting for moon time!
