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

[Toxic2040]

This was my dinner for 20 years or so pretty much every night.



It's still my favorite food. I'll take a steak over any other food.
I don't are for cake and candy as well as most sweets.
Pink blood soaked sour cream potatoes and chives is just the icing ontop.

A cow is a holy animal for me but it looks delicious too

If the meat was made in a lab and no cow was harmed, would you be "allowed" to eat it?

 If bulls are being put out of work because their offspring is being cloned in a lab, does that not constitute harm?
Cows need to unionize.

Apparently there is such a massive population of chickens that if they were in the wild they could not actually grow to such a large number.

I watch too many stupid documentaries.

OK gotta get crap done and go gamble for a few days, wish me luck guys!

Cows with Guns.

We discovered that Stellar suffered an inflation bug in 2017 that created over 2 billion $XLM, and they quietly patched it with an equivalent token burn.
up 5% today smh

the alt-shitshow never ends. half the industry is an ongoing scam. we need theories about how alts became a thing and why they are still a thing. and we need to come up with a plan to end this this shitcoinery.

This is no joking matter JJG. It's pure, vile treachery.

 I hope he's preparing himself for that game of Roshambo we're going to be playing at the $100k party.

 I've been preparing for most of my adult life.

You gotta get over me bob... it's just not worth it.  There are more important focuses in life.  Remember?  Wwwwweeee...

An early good morning Bitcoinland. Got my tasks in Mexico almost done and flew back to Toronto for a month or so.

The price of Bitcoin seems to have followed me north (again??)... currently $4032USD/$5410CAD (Bitcoinaverage).

C'mon Bitcoin. Let's get this $4k thing done and move on. It's getting boring.

Since the price goes up when you travel North Jimbo, have you thought about an arctic expedition?
I'm sure we on the WO would appreciate the price hike!

Keep traveling north until you're back home.

Good afternoon WO,s

How do I see the graph?

2014/2015 = 2018/2019

Everything indicates calm until the next halving 2020.

Stabilizing at 2x per year...

I don't think that they can be ended.

They can be tolerated and considered as unimportant, similar how Hairy framed the matter in an earlier post.

Even satoshi seemed to account for them in his very first writings, before such alt coins and imitation attack vectors even existed.

There is a kind of human nature to try to get rich, to try to improve upon things by copying and imitation, and even thoughts about missing the boat on bitcoin and investing into various scams comes off as inevitably part of the playing out that will likely take close to 50 years to play out.. and even then will bitcoin take up 80-90% of value perhaps?  but that remaining 10-20% would be quite difficult (if not impossible) to reign in.  So why spend considerable efforts on fighting them, beyond education and of course, if they directly engage in fraud and deception then the individuals might be prosecuted.. but what more can be done if we are thinking free market principles anyhow and bitcoin is going to attract the vast majority of the value, anyhow?

So who else is going to the Bitcoin 2019 conference? Where y'all staying?

Depends,  

Indians- to be more precise- some Hindus will not eat it no matter if its cultured meat or 3d printed meat (if that's a thing in the near future) for the simple reason because a fair amount of Hindus are vegetarian by choice and they are pretty clear and most importantly happy about it. India is heaven for Vegetarian.

For some Hindu Cow meat is big no due to religious beliefs and culture thingy, but they can eat other animals .this category comes in Hypocrite level similar to dog lovers or pig haters-Muslims.

Good amount of Hindus( In Kerala) eat cow meat regularly so it shouldn't be an issue unless cultured meat is tasteless.

In the end, there comes another universal category I suppose, who can eat any meat(Not cannibalism)  if the situation demands.

Please Avoid grammatical mistakes.

Don't let jbreher off that easy.

I am sure that he has not given up on the bcash shilling (even if he might not be directly paid, perhaps?).

i think shitcoinery is more dangerous than the "blockchain, not bitcoin" idiots. the latter burn corporate funds and going nowhere, but shitcoins are eating the bitcoiners cake (aka invested money) and the fool masses of people into their scams. the scammed people will not adopt btc, they will hate crypto forever and think btc is the same.
i really wonder how much fresh money invested into crypto moves into shitcoins.

Bitcoin things that will never change:
- Retarget window (2016 blocks)
- Block time target (10 mins)
- Halving period: 210k blocks

Means this will never change:
- Emission Schedule

Means this locked:
- 21m Supply Cap

So this is certainty:
- Store of Value

Make sense?

Next market cycle can lead to x10 in 10 years. Watching closely this indicator.

i really wonder how much fresh money invested into crypto moves into shitcoins.

I am not opposed to bad mouthing shitcoins or calling them out for what they are, but I think that you are overstating their importance and negative impact on bitcoin and the space.  There is both good and bad going on with the money (however dumb that you want to label it) coming into the space for shitcoins, alt coins, ICOs and other non-bitcoin related scams, and sure, you are likely correct that some of the losers are going to lump bitcoin in with their problem of getting scammed, but we are increasingly having more and more money coming into the space and finding its way into bitcoin.

Perhaps, you and I read the matter differently, and sure it can be argued either way, but shitcoins and scams are likely part of the explanation for BTC's exponential price rise to $19,666 in December 2017, and no I am not going to give those goofballs credit for causing the rise and fall of bitcoin because at best, they are the tail attempting to wag the dog, but there is some symbi-ism going on here and back and forth relationship regarding financial flows and even providing some distraction of the side-money that would cause bitcoin to be the total focus if they were not to exist.. which a total focus on bitcoin might not be healthy, either.. especially if you have governments and financial institutions narrowing their focus in the bitcoin direction.

In any event, even if what you are saying is true (instead of my positive and negative assessment of the effects of such shitcoinery/scams) I remain confused about what you would be proposing as any kind of meaningful solution to snuff them out... both is it possible with any kind of reasonable approach to snuff them out and what would such an approach be that would not end up causing more damage than the benefits of just letting the market sort the matters out, even if it takes 50 years to sort out.

In the meantime, folks like you and me, and others who are active in this WO thread, recognize the information asymmetry and we are able profit stupendously and on an ongoing basis by our ongoing recognition that bitcoin remains the only meaningful game in town and that the vast majority of the remainder of the space is causing BTC prices to be more suppressed than they should be for further and longer than they should be... but in the end, bitcoin does not give any shits, and I doubt that bitcoin is going to be killed by these kinds of side scam projects.. the only thing that is suppressed is the price for longer and lower.. but in the end, and it is not even likely to take very long, those of us investing in bitcoin on an ongoing basis are going to continue to profit tremendously by our ongoing abilities to sort the wheat from the chaff.
