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

Oh HSBC... It is starting to make sense now.

But I thought bitcoin was "fighting teh bankers"...

Who would have guessed the bankers (HSBC) would buy up a bunch of imaginary, valueless tokens, artificially manipulate them to the moon, then attempt to dump them on the goyim while simultaneously using the transaction to launder drug money.

How does it feel to be the ONLY PERSON IN THE ENTIRE THREAD that claimed "r0ach making up FUD about Bitfinex", "it's all bs".  You were even somewhat semi-shilling FOR THEM.

In other words, the odds of Last of the V8 winning his bet are on the cusp of going against him... sucks to be poor (V8).

You would know

Huh?  Me doesn't understand U.

I have done pretty well through my whole life, of course with several periods of frugality, or choices to live within my means, but I have never felt myself to be poor.

On the other hand, when I witness certain levels of wealth extravagance that some rich folks enjoy, on a relative basis, I might have considered myself as poor... yet even after, having said all that, I am struggling to understand your response involving my own level of "poor" situation.

Blah. Stop the nonsense. We ARE ALL POOR. Wake me up at $50K...

If you had already established a decent BTC position at any price point in the 3 digits (which is the case for me), you should be feeling pretty damned rich, currently.   Even if you did not significantly cash out any of your bitcoin between $7k and $19,666, your investment is currently experiencing a decent 5x return on that portion that was accumulated in the 3 digits.  There are not too many investments that can provide such return levels.. and so for about a year and a half now, we have had many opportunities to cash out at supra $5k prices, that is if we were to value our holdings in fiat - and have some pessimism about BTC's future.

On the other hand, if we perceive bitcoin having ongoing decent future potentials, then that 5x cushion should provide considerable comfort - which is another way of suggesting that feelings of rich should exist for anyone who had accumulated a decent amount of BTC stash in the three digits.

So there.

Molina is a Canadian citizen living in Panama

We know that Ivan Manuel Molina Lee, the head of Crypto Capital Co., was a Canadian with Panamanian citizenship, per the Bloomberg report.

The reason the Polish authorities seized the €400 million from the Polish bank is they say the money comes from Columbian cartels
https://bitcoinexchangeguide.com/quadrigacx-had-e400-million-seized-by-polish-authorities-in-2018-for-money-laundering-connections-with-columbian-cartel/
So Molina has your money Bitfinex. Best of luck to you.

https://twitter.com/lowstrife/status/1121670408434905090

According to the the NYAG, "Bitfi[n]ex do not believe Crypto Capital's explanation saying the funds have been seized"

According to Bitfinex's announcement today, they claim that "those same funds have been seized and safeguarded".

Fuckery is afoot. He said, she said.

It's probably HSBC thinking they're above the law and can just bribe/order some regulators to unfreeze their drug money and make this problem go away.  Probably will happen!  When's the last time a kike banker went to jail for ANYTHING?  Supposedly the US stock market itself is propped up in large by drug money providing massive amounts of liquidity.  They'll probably give HSBC a slap on the wrist and say, "Now now! It's un-American to launder your drug money in bitcoin instead of the stock market!"

[HairyMaclairy]

I’m sure the SEC can quite easily pick up the phone to the Polish authorities. 

Seized and safeguarded by Molina.

tether died and buried hundred times.
people fallin for the same shit hundred times still amazes me.
nothing will happen to tether,this will be forgotten in a few weeks.

I agree with you that tether serves as a kind of "china bans bitcoin" that continues to deliver. 

Tether FUD will not be forgotten, as long as it continues to work.

[JayJuanGee]

I just have bought my ever first bitcoin. Not that much though (not preferred to share). I have had researched on bitcoin since January 2018 but didn't dare to invest in. I spent a hour or two daily on it to learn about it. Today, I have deposited a large amount of my savings and purchased bitcoin. I can feel the ride.

Since you have been "studying" BTC for nearly a year and a half, you may have established a dollar cost averaging plan, too, beside merely injecting a bunch of capital at one price point?  Do you have any further tentative strategies that you are willing to share?  You could share some of the outlines of such tentative strategies without necessarily disclosing too many personal details.

What if that account is actually THE brand new account with a nickname (not his real name)?

The cynic in me says people know we’re generous Merit givers in this thread. Very convenient a Brand New account makes its first post here saying how they’ve just bought their first bitcoin & oh look, 21 Merit received.

Straight to the first signature campaign or bounty requring received Merit to earn money, never to post in the WO again.

Hmmmmm!

Yep.  We do tend to be pretty generous in this thread.

How is it "FUD" if everyone here can see Bitfinex and Tether are operating wide out in the open as a criminal entity?  Being affiliated with HSBC just makes it even more LOL.  As if it wasn't obvious the first time they STOLE all customer deposits after trading against their own customers and having the trade go against them during the halving.

[JayJuanGee]

Meh, I prefer a weekend PUMP, so let it be.

if it just would be that easy 

+32% over the last 30 days
I'd  say we are doing alright

Accordingly, another 20% correction would not be out of the ordinary, but another 20% correction is not any kind of necessary condition precedent in order for BTC prices to resume up towards testing resistance in the $6,500 to $7,500 price arena.

One Glastonbury the old crusties I was with got increasingly irate at my total indifference...

loved the movie, hope it gives some truth to an 'english character'.

Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels could be my favorite movie but for some reason I haven't seen this one so I'll have to check it out. That or i forgot, I do that on occasion.

Fast food chain adopts Bitcoin, wants Coca-Cola to be next.

TravelbyBit founder and CEO Caleb Yeoh said fast food was a perfect use case for the Lightning Network.

“You can pay with Bitcoin, it’s instant and there are almost no fees,” he said. “It’s only for low value amounts, so if you look at kebab prices, that’s exactly what Lightning is for.”

Speaking of dip.

BTC crashed to $5,000 from $5,500 today, so I cashed in some free Stellar Lumens for some BTC Dip.

I never got mine, I should look into that. You have the contact info?

BitFinx responds: https://www.bitfinex.com/posts/356

Confirms that a ton of money is at least "tied up".

"seized and safeguarded"

By who?

Crap...this does not bode well for BTC price...

TPTB Fudding as usual when price takes off.
