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

[600watt]

can anyone dig out a prediction that beats this one in accuracy and efficiency? found this gem in a 2013 price poll.

17.7.2017, 17:17:17 Uhr: 17.423,13 € bzw 26.861,24 USD (1 Euro = 1,5417 USD)

the guy made only one post ever, predicted a 2017 price of €17.423 while in reality price went to €16.457 in 2017.

missed it by 5%  

Isn't it the stop clock is correct twice a day phenomenon?  If you look at any BTC price prediction thread, you are going to find price predictions all over the map, and of course, there are going to be a few that are really close to what actually ends up happening.. but I doubt the fact that the close to correct predictions getting their predictions correct reasonably infers that the person(s) predicting knew anything concrete about the BTC price future at that particular time.

if those correct predictions are so abundant please quote them in case you come across some. and yes, it is more luck than anything. but still....

Going to break 4k, are we?

Didn't we already do that a month or so ago?
I fail to see the wow factor in that, just normal volatility.

It's because we're showing more evidence of it reversing.

Nah, it's too early for that, we have several more months sideways to look forward to.
I'll be glad if I'm wrong, but I'm probably not.

I would say you are both right and wrong

We have bottomed and yes we have several more months of sideways.

pish tosh

I would say you are both right and wrong.

You are right about the sideways.

But there's plenty of room yet for a stab down to the dark side.

I'd even prefer it that way.

I'll bet you a litecoin?

I will take it if Hairy won't.

I will wager 1 LTC we have already seen the bottom of this bear market.  That is, it will not go lower than 3122.

Suggest period of wager is until Dec 31 2019, or we go over 7500 on Stamp in USD (or under 3122) - whichever is sooner?

Edited for clarity.

I will also take that bet, if those terms are accepted by Mr V8.

By the way, Isn't the phrase in the movie "the last of the interceptors" or something like that?
Haven't seen it since the 80s but that's my memory of it. Gonna check the internet for that now.

@Arriemoller  Are you taking the bet with Hairy? or with kurious or both?

Coinbase Acquires Blockchain Analytics Startup Neutrino

United States cryptocurrency exchange and wallet Coinbase has acquired blockchain intelligence startup Neutrino, according to a post published on the company’s blog on Tuesday, Feb. 19.

https://cointelegraph.com/news/coinbase-acquires-blockchain-analytics-startup-neutrino

https://blog.coinbase.com/welcoming-neutrino-to-coinbase-b3f56171850d

Giancarlo Russo, its CEO, previously worked as COO of HackingTeam, a Milan-based outfit with a scandalous reputation. Described by Verge as “the first sellers of commercial hacking software to the police,” HackingTeam’s spyware enables clients to engage in a huge number of surveillance activities.

These include the covert collection of emails, SMS messages, call history and address book data, as well as keystroke logging, phone tapping of Skype calls and even data about cryptocurrency wallet usage.

This is fine.
Coinbase you cunts.

Footage of Baby Bull Market growing stronger.

@this point its just market.... put bull in front when the bearish types of this thread are convinced

What kind of bottle Will I pop when majormax says BULLmarket confirmed

I hate to attempt to speak for majormax (but I have no morals.. hahahahahaha).... Anyhow, I would expect that majormax is going to need BTC prices to go above $5k for a while and perhaps even $6k before he is going to be willing to call the bear market as "over"...  Another scenario that might allow for calling the end to the bear market would be relatively flat BTC prices for about a year.. without any new bottom below $3,122.. then maybe that could be enough.. but then we have nearly 9 more months for that kind of alternative scenario to play out... Would be nice to get a majormax update, but I suspect it is WAAAAY too soon to be asserting end of the bear market from his perspective.

I liked your fix!!

Incidentally why are egypts (but not the current ones) still so popular?

#Bitcoin will fall and hit $50,000 by the end of the year.
- LN growth
- Bakkt launch
- ETF speculation
- Increased global stress
- Interest rates continue to rise
- Record buildup in government debt
- Traditional markets continue to struggle

- supply halving in 15 months.
- at that point almost 90% of the 21M bitcois will be in circulation, the rest of the world has there eye on the remaining 10%.

[HairyMaclairy]

I’m happy to take the bet with V8. Maybe Kurious / Arie can have their own bet.  

Give me a couple hours to catch as well and I will respond properly.  No need for escrow.

back to work, BTC's come to daddy

No porn, no fancy food? NO ALCOHOL?

I think the goose got hacked by some BCH peasant.

Someone just paid 2100 ETH for transaction fees.

That is over $300,000 spent to transfer $15.

Did they mistaken the fee with sending value?

[JayJuanGee]

just do it. every WO hat should run a lightning node.

I was seriously considering proposing a "WO Lightning Channel Crew" thread - discuss making public and private channels between ourselves. Discuss game theory, etc.

Ultimately recognized it would not be possible to do so without breaking OpSec due to needing to expose an IP. Not willing to risk that, at this time.

I don't use TOR for performance reasons.

If you become a "trusted (LOL)" Guard Node then I think your performance will be just fine on the tor network.

Is this the start of a bull run to $100k or a fake one?

It is probably the latter but who knows... this is bitcoin. Anything can happen.

Always supportive for an instant 100K run

I'd go for the realistic 10k even by next month or forward. I guess we are long way to go for a $100k, but supportive to see that in my life and get rich yeah!!!

How long are you planning (expecting) to live?

That is an excellent point, but the 80s were a better time in general. What about pre-70s and post-90s?

[BitcoinGirl.Club]

Nah!
No goals yet.
Mane missed to many chances to capitalize.

It seems more like money laundering than a mistake https://twitter.com/trainface/status/1097915410069053440

[angel55]

^Easily could be money laundering,  Same thing with people claiming hacks and such so they can avoid paying taxes and hide their funds.

[Olegya199]

Newer version (more true).

[angel55]

As much as I agree BCH is still a top 10 coin with over $500m in daily trading volume, don't act like it is completely worthless.

[Cryptotourist]

Well I don't know about the 90's or prior, was too young & too smashed up at that time.
That said, the last 15 years have been tough on them. Not only them of course.

Nations have their cycles, much like everything else - nothing is forever.
Humanity owes a lot to the Egyptians imho. For thousands of years it was the central market (route) of the world.
Don't be discouraged by the mere milliseconds in history - in terms of our lifetime.
