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

So the states want to literally murder babies now. There is talk about allowing abortion up until the point of birth. Among medics, among politicians. Hasn't been passed yet, but it will be.

What the fuck americans?

Typical left wing propaganda: Safe, legal, and rare.

What that really means: Obey!

Message from QuadrigaCX Board of Directors

January 31, 2019

Dear Customers,

An application for creditor protection in accordance with the Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act (CCAA) was filed today in the Nova Scotia Supreme Court to allow us the opportunity to address the significant financial issues that have affected our ability to serve our customers. The Court is being asked at a preliminary hearing on Tuesday February 5 to appoint a monitor, Ernst & Young Inc., as an independent third party to oversee these proceedings.

For the past weeks, we have worked extensively to address our liquidity issues, which include attempting to locate and secure our very significant cryptocurrency reserves held in cold wallets, and that are required to satisfy customer cryptocurrency balances on deposit, as well as sourcing a financial institution to accept the bank drafts that are to be transferred to us. Unfortunately, these efforts have not been successful. Further updates will be issued after the hearing.

Thanks was a bit of fun, my skill and tools are quite crude.

I love to do it in paint. Heres the avatar size

So when I was like 15, I got the bright idea to use vaborub to whack off. VERY BAD IDEA. It hurt so bad that I was in tears.

Interesting...
Could you elaborate?

not for a couple of days after

It felt like intense burning - like masturbating with molten lava. After washing it off with cold water, the painful burning subsided within a couple minutes.

I guess I could never be a Bob-level power top. The training is too intense.

Once upon a time, it was classic whoever falls asleep on the coach first gets ralgex sprayed on their balls stuff


Now we have safe spaces instead

You better live somewhere where it rains enough to fill it. I wonder what chemicals you would need to keep that ready to drink.

Nothing more than the chlorine that is already in municipal water. Just get your household supply diverted through it. Backflow prevention device would be in order in this scenario.

So if the catastrophic event happened to have contaminated the water for so many days without knowledge this is fucked?

People  ultraviolet light (free), oxidatives (plus heat).
No real need to drink bleach unless you're in a swimming pool

CBOE, VanEck & SolidX didn't waste any time filing a new & improved bitcoin ETF proposal.

The timeline for the SEC's decision won't be set until the proposal is published in the Federal Register, but assuming that happens soon, we're looking at a final deadline in early October.

Oh my..this doesnt sound good. How the hell do you lose the cold wallets?

The term was popularized as a result of a number of high-profile corporate accounting scandal defendants claiming that all wrongdoing was performed by others, without the defendant's knowledge or consent. Attorneys for these defendants claimed that their skill was in valuation and deal-making, and that they lacked the training to recognize fraudulent accounting practices they claimed that they would have needed. However, in many cases the defendants' subordinates testified that the defendants ordered them to falsify the accounts.

 

[Last of the V8s]

You're probably right, but remember one of the founders is dead(ish)*, so the surviving knuckleheads just may be actually having problems locating the wallets.
The unhelpful banks part we know is pretty much true.


*cannot find where I posted news of his death to the thread; anyway people are sceptical of this part of the news. r.i.p.

Not the first exchange to have this "happen".

Done, my monthly accumulation buy limit order just triggered. This winter starts to feel long already. All BTC are still well protected in their wallets, all good. Back to hibernation mode.

Gentlemen, have a good one!

[slowlyslowly]

there is a pigeon too  - its sort of a "where's wally" test. same as the TA charts people post - you need to look for where the tend line they draw will eventually cut some axis . tricky on some log charts. but makes the poster more able to claim "i told you so " status..........

[JimboToronto]

Hey Jimbo - good to see you're away from the cold snap, but when are you due back?  

Be good to know so I can get some more fiat back into an exchange on time

My return flight is booked for March 26 (2 days before the Jays' home opener) but I told people  I might fly up for a few days in mid-February if I need more cash or if it's profitable enough for me.

I don't have a bank account and there's  really no place down here for me to turn bitcoins into dollars. I came down with a credit balance on my credit cards as well as cash but I've already overspent a little and now I actually owe money on one of my cards. Needless to say, I hate owing money and especially hate paying interest.

I might fly up if I can collect a debt, earn a profit, or simply sell enough Bitcoin to pay up my cards and bring down enough cash to be  comfortable for the rest of the winter. Ideally I can get someone who owes me money to put a few thousand on my cards so I can stay down here and enjoy sunshine and Mexican baseball. It's less than a buck a beer at the ballpark and that includes a donation to the local team.

Sorry but I have no control over the price of Bitcoin. The continuing coincidence is however enough to make you superstitious.  

[jbreher]

So speaking of doomsday, if the infrastructure goes, electricity and water and food, what's a chap to do? Without water you die in 3 days,

I think a lot of otherwise prepared folk neglect this most basic fact. In the US, most get their water from some sort of municipal utility. This may be the greatest lever of control available to a totalitarian regime gone mad.

OTOH, pretty much every major metro has a place that resells used 1000 liter IBC totes for $100 or so. That's enough water to keep one person in drinking, cooking, and very limited cleaning for 6-8 months. Beats needing to line up for the (((FEMA camps))) after two days in order to continue to live.

(Or maybe, you know, just riding out the event where some turrist cell has poisoned your local reservoir)

#justsayin

10,000 gallon rain tank.  You can bury them. 

You better live somewhere where it rains enough to fill it. I wonder what chemicals you would need to keep that ready to drink.

Yes. Better plan - (2) 5000 gal tanks, alternate household supply through one, then the other, rotating on a weekly basis.

That wasn't too hard, was it?

Incidentally, as an experiment, I've been leaving one tote alone for years. Filled with nothing but municipal water, no additives of my own. Sample taken annually to the local ag uni extension for testing. Still fine to drink. Of course, our town is extra-chlorinated. You could just add a dropperfull of bleach each year if you were worried about microbial infestation.
