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

[savetherainforest]

And then I Immediately hit a JJG post.

SHIT!

Yeah... who needs that?  

Why don't you just skim those damned "JJG posts"?

Your glasses are not pink enough!!!

Welcome back from your hiatus.

Looking forward to the return of attempting to read your stream of consciousness, half-baked, quasi-incoherent, but mostly bullish posts on a more regular.  

The best option when everyone feels too much negativity and they want to share it with you: is to just go away and let them suffer until you can come back and find them happy and full of optimism again !!!

I'm back, had a great time, looks like 13 pages of catch up and a new AYH

nice

Wb..hope the gig was decent. We might have bent bitcoin a little but it remains unbroken imho.    

Quite far behind in my reading as well. Going to turn in early after a soak in the hot tub.

Good night all.

Actually, it was great!  Both the other bands were awesome.  We had a really good night.  But most of all, actually, this is going to take a little digression.

In general, the internet has really killed the bar scene.  20 years ago, young people were going out, drinking, dancing and getting wild.  These days most of them are sitting in their cells playing fortnight or whatever.  The bars are nothing like I remember from my youth.

This town we were in though, in the summertime, it is a regular scene.  It was awesome to play to a bar actually full of people hootin' an' hollerin' and getting wild.  Chicks making out in the corner, arm wrestling matches, spilled beer, some light moshing...it was great!

I did bring you guys one thing too, I thought the thread would appreciate this art from the bar

Exactly!!!!! I wouldn't mind sharing some negativity with you, but at the moment, I don't feel compelled with any sense of urgency in such sharing.

Libra has absolutely nothing to do with open, permissionless cryptocurrencies like Ethereum, Radix, Monero, Zcash and Bitcoin..

That list would be shorter if he qualified "Immutable" in that statement.


And wtf is Radix?
I looked it up and it sounds like an interesting concept but I don't see from the outside how the network can adhere to the ruleset it states.

"It will be easy to mine and will be accessible to everyone: to mine you will not need to have more computer power than your “neighbor”, simply you will be chosen randomly and all sooner or later will be chosen. Thanks to the technology behind it you will not need any expensive tool, just a phone with the app on it."

I can already think of ways this can be gamed.

W00ps, shitcoin talk, -1 WO for me.

Libra is going to be fighting a regulatory hornets nest.

And executives don’t like going to jail.  

I don’t really see how they are going to get off the ground with a useable product.  

[HairyMaclairy]

CME will open in an hour... will be interesting to see what happens; must suck to sit on a short and not being able to get out over the weekend  

Does somebody know how the price limit works? I mean halting BTC futures trading will not get BTC price changing.
Will the be forced settlements?

here i like that:
must suck to sit on a short and not being able to get out over the weekend

not sure what you mean with how "the limit works"
when futures trading opens there will be i think gap up, instant gap up
so if shorters had close limit on 10500 and gap up instantly put price to 11000, they will close with 11000 and not with 10500...at least i think so

Good question.
Can they sell if the limit is hit? This would mean that the longs are forcefully pushed out of the contract?

Could be setting up for some major carnage at the CME that's for sure. ... bulls have got it back to the AYH right before the open too so it might spark a massive surge up on the short squeeze at the open.

When CME went live with the contract in Dec. 2017 I recall an ex-CME head or regulator warning that CME had never dealt with a truly hard asset like bitcoin and it was a real risk for it to cause major failures ... which is a joke because he was admitting that gold was not a hard asset in the way it has been papered out of existence.

Edit: meant to add that there will be a battle to get it back closer to friday's close before the open to stem the bleeding.

Genuine question: can you have a short squeeze in a cash-settled market? Given that the shorter's buys aren't actually fed back in to the (edit: physical) market?

Yes because shorts will look to hedge on physical markets.  The markets are linked - they don’t operate in isolation from each other.

They have one thing other cryptos don't have - (virtually) unlimited funding

Do you raise cattle and slaughter them?

I once helped slaughter a cow.  In Neuquen province.  A couple of gauchos dragged a beef out of the pen, tied it to a tree, and stuck a knife in its throat.  I helped 'em skin it.  And they gave me a couple slices of raw heart to eat.  Did you know heart is good to eat raw?

Do you also mine your coins or just buy'em at the supermarket? Errr, I mean, exchange.

With lots and lots of rules and regulations. And then they will come for bitcoin.

It doesn’t matter.  You can’t just tell the US government you are going to break every law in the book and expect them to roll over.  Not unless you control the government.  And I know the conspiratards like to claim differently, but the US government in the broad sense (State and Federal) is sufficiently decentralized that it is not really capable of being controlled by any specific individual or group of individuals in its current form

Nice post, this deserves some merit guys. Hey roach wanna Merit this for me?
Wait don't answer I won't see it.
Meh while I'm at it here's something for you.

During the raid, the police reportedly found a cryptocurrency wallet containing significantly less funds than the amount that the two are believed to have stolen. Finance Magnates also notes that Eli Gigi is a graduate of an elite technological unit of the Israel Defense Forces that selects youth with outstanding academic capabilities.
