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

[rebal15]

it can be scary to be your own bank.

Neither physical metals or digital shitcoin scams get rid of banks.  The vast majority will always outsource security/responsibility to someone else.  That and an enormous percent of people seem to feel they need to put all their funds with some sort of custodian for wills and trusts & such.

It is confirmed, Banks and wall street are trading at Bitfinex and guess what, they are so weak.

bit out of date. re Elwar. poor guy, no end of hurdles.

Major suckage.

"I may have lost the seed" - WTaF? Adding insult to injury.

Maybe he means as in having temporarily unable to access the seed as if it was stored on a seastead or something?

Anyway I think Elwar was more of a paperwallet guy. The ledger he may be using it just for convenience. Even if it sounds as a bit of inconvenience right now if he can't access it.

Let us all hope...

I see you again
volatility, my old friend
the sounds of scalping.

[realr0ach]

I see you again
volatility, my old friend

I don't see any volatility.  This is volatility:

the splashes of the whales have frozen me in my tracks

these markets are just not to be traded

I can't reasonably expect to be able to play these markets

this volatility is joke. It can't be classed as a serious investment, we can have fun with it, but 40% falls in a few hours without any real reason, that isn't a serious investment.

Why do holders care about pump if They were holding for long time???

Holding long time, no change fact that if value pump double, holder double rich.

You don't have those kinds of options with traditional physical assets like fiat or PMs...  Even having $10 million in cash would not be easy to move around, like it is with bitcoin.  A billion dollars on bitcoin could be stored and managed a whole hell-of-a lot easier than the same value in cash or Pms.

You demonstrate a complete failure of economics 101 understanding.  It's not possible for something to qualify as "money" if it doesn't even qualify as a commodity first.  Nobody refers to video games on Steam as a "commodity" because it's blatantly obvious it's a state-run racket/scam called intellectual property and entirely based on artificial scarcity.  

Bitcoin is no different - another artificial scarcity scam/racket.  The hallmark trait of all currencies is artificial scarcity, while actual money is required to be physical commodity in the real world and not an artificial scarcity racket.  So, no, you are not "storing" $10 million of anything in bitcoin because it's not possible to store value in something completely imaginary based on artificial scarcity.  It's a currency and not money, and on a long enough timeline the value of a currency always goes to zero.  

All you're holding is a temporary pump and dump grenade or financial scam that you're attempting to pass off onto someone else before it explodes, not "storing value".  You need a physical commodity that doesn't expire to do that.

While your rationale works well for video games on Steam it does not hold for Bitcoin. While true that the scarcity is artificial by virtue of being programmed in it's not comparable to video games on Steam which can be sold without any limitations.

As soon as some malicious actor tried to remove scarcity by increasing the amounts of Bitcoins we'd simple tell them to fork off by forking off ourselves.


You could make an argument that this would be a democratic process and that the majority of humans is too fucking retarded to realize when they're being manipulated into believing that increasing the amount of coins is a non-issue. But that would still result in two chains, one with the idiots and one with the rest.

Now another argument that you could attempt would be to state that the scarcity was broken through the fork. But as we have already seen quite clearly forks only have a fraction of the original value and the more forks there are the less valuable each fork will be with a quick convergence towards value for erroneous forks. Hence irrelevant for both the Economy as a whole as well as the 21m Bitcoin chain.

I don't give a ratt's ass what you call it.  Let's use $100 million as an example.. Look I came down one decimal point, just for you.  Today, if you have $100 million in dollars, or $100million in Pms (such as gold) or $100 million in bitcoin.  Which one would be easier to move around to various parts of the world?  Which one would be easier to store?  Even if I have a secure building, I have to get the money or gold in and out of there, and I also have to worry about robbery or damage.  Of course, I could spread the $100 bills out in different buildings or the gold, but still it would probably be a whole hell of a lot easier to deal with bitcoin... just think about going across the country in a u-hall filled with cash or filled with gold? Wouldn't you be worried?

Nobody refers to video games on Steam as a "commodity" because it's blatantly obvious it's a state-run racket/scam called intellectual property and entirely based on artificial scarcity.  

We are not talking about video games or steam... We are talking about bitcoin and comparing it to fiat and gold.  Of course, you can have some value in each, but if you have large amounts of value, such as $100 million.. even $1million, it is much easier to manage in bitcoin.

Bitcoin is no different - another artificial scarcity scam/racket.  

It is different, you diptwat.  It has it's own security network built in that are verifying its scarcity and transactional security, including solving the double spend problem... Haven't you heard about that?  You fucking troll/shill?

The hallmark trait of all currencies is artificial scarcity, while actual money is required to be physical commodity in the real world and not an artificial scarcity racket.  

The scarcity of bitcoin is not artificial you dimwit.  Stop spreading misinformation.

So, no, you are not "storing" $10 million of anything in bitcoin because it's not possible to store value in something completely imaginary based on artificial scarcity.  

It is.  I can do it today.  That $10 million is a little less than 2,000 bitcoins.  I could store the private keys on a hardware wallet, such as a Trezor or there are other ways to do it.  It is not theoretical.. it exists.  Wake the fuck up.

It's a currency and not money, and on a long enough timeline the value of a currency always goes to zero.  

We are talking today.  And, I don't give any shits if it goes to zero in some hypothetical future time, because i am gong to be lucky to live another 50 years.. so I don't even care if it goes to zero 51 years from now, except for my descendants of course, and that would be their problem, if I have not spent all of my bitcoin wealth by the time I die.

All you're holding is a temporary pump and dump grenade or financial scam that you're attempting to pass off onto someone else before it explodes, not "storing value".  You need a physical commodity that doesn't expire to do that.

What the fuck are you talking about?  Bitcoin has gone up in value in the past 10 years, and in the past 5 years it has gone up more than 5x.  Overall, bitcoin continues to go up, especially in recent times, which seems to provide decent evidence that bitcoin is going to fare better than your PMs, such as gold or silver or copper.  Good luck with those ancient relics in these modern times.

By the way, don't you have a PM forum or a PM thread that you can post on? You are continuing to waste the time of people in this thread, bitcoin buyers, holders and accumulators that seem to be way more knowledgeable (and interested) than you on the bitcoin topic.  Go somewhere where your phoney baloney PM pump talking points are wanted and appreciated.  NOT here.. Haven't you gotten the memo... PM bugs, including roaches, not wanted here!!!!!!!

always remember! buy BTC as long it is cheap.

BITCOIN TRADING VOLUME SURGES 250% IN THAILAND AFTER ‘SEASTEADING’ FIASCO

https://bitcoinist.com/thailand-bitcoin-volume-soars-250-after-seasteading-fiasco/

"Thailand has gone into a bitcoin frenzy as volumes have risen 4x on the peer-to-peer site Local Bitcoins.

In bitcoin, 417 BTC (worth nearly 70 million Thai Baht) has exchanged hands in the last week, up from 130 BTC (21 million baht) in the previous weeks. This is the highest recorded volume since 2016.
It’s speculated that the surge in interest of bitcoin was due to the seizure of the sea-faring couple, which consequently boosted awareness of Bitcoin in the country."

[kenzawak]

Tone Vays at the Mexico City meetup :

"Right now we are in a bull / bear market, it's debatable .
If we're in a bull market, the Tether news is great news because people will replace their Tether with Bitcoin.
If we're in a bear market, this is bad news because if the US government can shut down Bitfinex, they can shut down any exchange with the help of other international governments.
...
If the price of Bitcoin doesn't go to 4k and it can brush off this news, I will have to agree that the bear market has ended.
...
I still think Bitcoin is gonna make a lower low but I'm almost 50/50."

[Searing]

yeah...I got a really bad feeling about the coming weeks

Pussy.

I'm doing an extra morning set of 10 reps with my titanium plates. I feel no pain. The only way is up.

True...just saying.....not a big fan of the tether scam...it could get ugly...and on the above I said "coming weeks"

Wow!!!!!

Please let me suggest you to add some cologne spraying between each rep for full endurance training.

The scarcity of bitcoin is not artificial you dimwit.  Stop spreading misinformation.

The entire Bitcoin protocol is a human creation and hence artificial. That includes everything with in it, such as the limited supply and hence scarcity of Bitcoins.

Code:

artificial
/ɑːtɪˈfɪʃ(ə)l/
adjective
adjective: artificial

    1.
    made or produced by human beings rather than occurring naturally, especially as a copy of something natural.
    "her skin glowed in the artificial light"
