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

The world gold council says this huh? No chance they could be bias now is there?

The more impressive part is they are worried enough to put out this press release

Well in all fairness the statement at this time is true. As great as Bitcoin is , we have a long way to go before it gains mass acceptance. It is only 10 years old vs a very long history in gold.
Just sayin..

Less than 1% world-wide adoption, currently, correct?  There might be pockets in the world (certain cities, perhaps?) that might, if lucky approach 10% adoption, and 10% would surely be high ... I would like to know of an actual city with 10% level of adoption.

Another question also involves how much of a percentage of wealth is invested into bitcoin by a supposed adopter, even from those who consider themselves as sufficient level of adopters.  

Going to be rare that any of us could find folks in any community higher than 1% of any population (except at a bitcoin conference) that has anything over 10% of their wealth in bitcoin, but any poll would likely consider any kind of usage of bitcoin as counting as a BTC adopter.

WO thread participants are anomalies in terms of their bitcoin holdings, for sure.

Finally..something we can agree on.

The fact that we are hovering near $4000 while many people are still waiting to buy at $3000-$3300, $2800, $2500, $2000 and even lower is... Fine.

Of course it doesn't mean we can't have another lower bottom.

Just saying... but I don't know what I say. Mind you.

I am witnessing slow and in-progress un-capitulating... whoaza!!!!!!....  

No, didn't you read we can have a lower bottom?

I will remain capitulated until further notice.

I know. I know.

Rome was not built in a day, just like "uncapitulating" is not going to.    

Welcome back to the beginning of the end of your capitulation.  

When I start sending new deposits like a mad monkey, that will be the signal of my end of capitulation.

P.S.: Yes, I won't catch the bottom. I never do.

I think the only ones catching the bottom consistently are the ones making the bottom.

ETH has another hardfork scheduled in the coming days?

from what I understand (I don't follow this shitcoin) first I think was supposed to be Casper and that failed then Constantinople(?) and that turns out to have a unresolveable logic error that got it pulled at the last minute so (P)iece (O)f (S)Hit ETH is still just Piece of shit (L)ite right now.

Think about that marketing campaign from the past few years. They promised glitter and glamour, mountains of gold. Vitalik playing highground lecturing people how to make to best Blockchain. Rehasing PoS narrative.

And what do i see at the end of the day: half baked bullshit.

Jezus christ...even that simpel Domino pizza Lightning app is more promising that all ETH dApps combined

I'm truly amazed at the retard level that made its cap in the first place, people never cease to amaze me.

I wonder what the custodial cost are to air ship 29 tons of gold. Interesting article I thought regardless.

Coast Guard lieutenant arrested in Maryland for plotting to kill Pelosi, AOC and other democrats

https://www.dailywire.com/news/43747/former-coast-guard-lieutenant-self-proclaimed-ashe-schow

Christopher Hasson intended “to murder innocent civilians on a scale rarely seen in this country”, according to a filing to federal court in Maryland. Law enforcement officers seized 15 guns and 1,000 rounds of ammunition from his home.

Good they they caught him. It would've been a tragedy to lose such American treasures as AOC and Pelosi.

[Hueristic]

I like to think he ritually destroyed his keys.

That's an option indeed.

It is also possible (I don't believe this) that he could have them in reserve to use if he ever wanted to destroy his creation.
Sometimes you need a built in kill switch.

5% is pretty weak for a kill switch. More like an owie switch.

I have decided not to post what I was going to.
Why give u ammo.

The declining volume, which hasn't been too impressive to begin with, is disconcerting.

All things considered, I might even go short right about now if I was a gambling man.

Replace merits with Lightning tips lol  

Out of merits, but it's an excellent idea.

I wouldn't count on it :

The forum will never hold users’ money.

Right, I was just about to post that.

People are free to open LN channels and send tips if they so choose.

LN is probably unsuitable for tips since the recipient has to be online. That's why these LN tipbots all hold your money, which I'm not a fan of. If you're using LN through a trusted third party, then you're better off not using it at all.

Perhaps this is not a good time for Bitcointalk to implement it but later it can. Think big, LN will mature.

I used to be a much bigger sports fan, I still watch games every now and then but I was wasting too much time watching sports.  Might life doesn't change in the slightest if my team wins.  Some of these fans take it too far.  you know its bad when you see fans of the opposing team getting murdered. Saw a video of this in South America from last year.

I can't prove it but I think you live longer if your team wins.

Samsung Galaxy S10 Unpacked: cryptocurrency wallet features finally unveiled

From the people themselves linked to in the article.

https://news.samsung.com/global/samsung-raises-the-bar-with-galaxy-s10-more-screen-cameras-and-choices

It looks like a hardware wallet indeed.

I think IOS/Android is already good enough if you only keep small amounts in your wallets and If samsung comes up with a very good security then they might even replace trezor&ledgers. I still wouldn't put more than a couple of hundreds on that phone but I also don't carry much cash with me anyway.

So whether it is Galaxy S10 with super security or iphone 7 doesn't make much difference to me. If your phone gets stolen, your money is gone. The only difference is, the thief probably won't be able to steal your coins from the s10.

I also don't think people would keep their life savings (like $50k or $500k) on that phone neither. Because no matter how good the security on that phone is, I wouldn't trust samsung. I don't trust trezor or ledger neither.

So what's the point?

Would you trust putting $100 on it?  Or an amount similar to what you would carry in your regular (analog) wallet?

Yeah I would carry 100 bucks on my iphone without worrying. If some shit bappene it is only $100 and so far I was lucky with IOS/iphone.

There will be dips..buy them..there will be tops..sell them...no need to be hasty..plenty of week left to see how this will play out. I think we will see a general uptrend continue to establish itself..perhaps into March.

Dont forget your launch schedule..tomorrow something is literally heading to the moon.

SpaceX has a Falcon9 launch on the 21st for PSN and SpaceIL

Location: 40 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station

Launch Time: 8:45 p.m. to 9:17 p.m. ET

Landing: Of Course I Still Love You drone ship

SpaceX will launch the Nusantara Satu communications satellite (previously PSN VI) for Indonesian satellite operator PT Pasifik Satelit Nusantara (PSN). A lunar lander developed by Israeli nonprofit SpaceIL and Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) will fly as a secondary payload.

If the lander is successful it will mark Israel as the 4th nation to have accomplished reaching and landing upon the Moon.

Would seem more likely that you live shorter if your team loses. Which is not quite the same thing.

Bears about to get blown out like a cheap sweat shop Nike shoe on Zion's foot.



Montage of Nikes exploding. (Manu, Bogut, Wroten, Gordon, Zion)

Cant help but think that when Bitcoin is the Global Reserve Currency that companies will have to allocate their capital more wisely and maybe 100 million dollar athletes wont risk career ending injuries with their crap shoes. Also when I bet on said athletes team perhaps they might not get blown out by 16 pts at home against a big underdog and cost me a bit of stinky fiat bc their superstar's shoe explodes in the first 30 seconds

Nike = Perverse corrupt mega corp spawned by decades of money printing induced poorly allocated capital.

Pump time is here

[Searing]

So here we are, hovering just below $4000 without the slightest sign of FOMO. Everybody just watching without not fucking idea if it is gonna go up or down next, or what it is going to do after that.

So many possible scenarios... What will it be? Bleh, just let it be.

HODL.

Bitcoin is the equivalent of dating a stripper...first she teases and seduces you...and you wonder...is it all just an act? or does she mean it this time

or poof! is it all a dream? The drama is the same for the BTC mood swing equivalent it seems.


edit:


The price on my Bitcoin ticker as I type this went from to $4,000 USD just now...er crap...just went to $4,028 and now back to $3,981...wtf?

What was that a $4k 3 second breach? bummer...ack! $3,974 someone is dumping it seems.

[bones261]

Meh, breakthrough to 4000 rejected.
