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

Is that it?
Where are the private islands, private yachts, private jets and not to mention a LFC_Bitcoin tower?

You quite sure about that Torque?

I mean, I get your point, but golly if it doesn't seem like it sometimes.

Or, maybe, bitcoin is moving toward some kind of it's future "Omega point" (de Chardin).
The path could vary/deviate, but the end result is, perhaps, largely inevitable.
Sometimes, I think that this is the case, while other times the whole situation looks fragile.

Damn, we might get to $9600 in a week or two with such craziness...

[jbreher]

with github geofencing entire countries, this might be the right time to remind that i'm mirroring several bitcoin-related git repositories on a Tor hidden service: http://nxshomzlgqmwfwhcnyvbznyrybh3gotlfgis7wkv7iur2yj2rarlhiad[.]onion/

Tor doesn't really solve the problem. After all, the trove is still owned by Microsoft.

For everything else, there is CodeOnChain. How prescient.

I pray you love
I pray you laugh
I pray you never give up
I pray you become
I pray you have more
I pray you grow
I pray you learn



I pray you never have to rely on prayers

Good bye GitHub, welcome MetaNet and the power of BitCoin

You can simply use the bsvpush command line tool to upload an entire folder by running: bsvpush push
https://github.com/jolonf/bsvpush

Nobody here or in the world - outside of BSV brainlets such as yourself - gives a shit about your farcical Faketoshi crap. Wake me up when BSV flips BCH in market cap.

There exists a problem: Microsoft is enforcing geofencing on the repository undergirding the world's most prominent FOSS VCS.

There exists a solution under development: An eventual git-workalike whose repository is built upon a decentralized, permissionless blockchain.

And all you can see is: Aussie man bad!

Well, to be fair, aussie man is pretty fucking disagreeable.

It would be way better for you guys if you could find a way to throw off some of these offensive personalities...just sayin'.

Lol, Yes, 9650 I guess... . Big dildos have taken a day off it seems... .

If you can explain to me how to 'throw off some of these offensive personalities' from a permissionless system, that might be doable. But that would be abandoning perhaps the most foundational principle. Quite the conundrum.

TheRealSatoshi walked away from Bitcoin^TM.

But FakeSatoshi remains, because he controls the mining cartel for his little shitcoin and can't leave the profit behind.

Quite the conundrum, eh?

He's the de facto captain of your pirate ship. Unfortunately the #2 in command isn't any better. BSV would be much more respectable if you mutinied against them, for the good of the ship.

Regardless, its a bit intellectually dishonest to pretend BSV would be anything without Wright. We've been through this a dozen times already -- its market cap subsists tremendously on the farce that Wright is Satoshi. How much, you may ask? Well, obviously anything over $80 a coin for starters, and probably half of that as well.



You're acting like there's not already a hundred coins out there with some at least slightly innovating new tech that are trying to solve certain problems -- there are, and nobody gives a shit about them as much as they do SV because they're not claiming to be the "real bitcoin" or have Satoshi as their dev.

My prediction for everything BSV-related: it will crumple into nothingness as so many other altcoins with grand plans have before it. Frankly I find the tech behind Counterparty (XCP) to be far more revolutionary and superior to anything put forward by SV. Your coin is a hoax.

[jojo69]

Quite the conundrum.

I get that, and I feel for you, their antics have to be disheartening.  I don't have an answer.

I have become increasingly agnostic on blocksize in a purely philosophical sense.  I recognize that there are bad actors on both sides with vested interests and I have been working to immunize myself against their propaganda and name calling.

This is NOT to say that I am in any way ready to throw in with either of the current train wreck forks, though I will now don my flamesuit prophylactically given the current venue.

One can only hope that the free market of ideas will allow a really workable solution to rise to the top.

What do you make of his $1million btc prediction?  I don't think it will happen

Overly ambitious.  But I wouldn’t definitively rule it out.

Specifically, McAfee predicted $1M by the end of 2020.  
A raging bull market may peak at $1M in q4 2020, but assuredly a major bear market will follow in the event.

McAfee prediction is based on his own “mathematics”. But he never disclosed why and how BTC will get to this level.

PlanB also predict multi millions values for bitcoin, he clearly states how we will get to that valuations. Part of the story is als o the fact that USD will lose much of his value (BTCUSD going up not because BTC going up, but because USD going down).
Still, difficult, not impossible.
2020?hardly doubt so, even if halvening effect fully takes place.

Hilarious that these clowns like McAfee make these outrageous Bitcoin price predictions, like the price will just magically "rise" to these astronomical levels on its own, in a supposed vacuum.

They never talk about people. As in, price rises when people fucking buy Bitcoin. As in public demand outstripping supply. So what is going to spur this amazing and sudden demand? Everyone I've talked to has no plans to create an account and buy any Bitcoin, no matter what the price does.

tldr; Bitcoin price doesn't just magically rise on its own.  /rant

However the demand is here, according to Ameritrade CEO...

Bitcoin Drawing More Interest From Traders, TD Ameritrade CEO Says

Despite U.S. lawmakers' skepticism toward Facebook's proposed digital token, Libra, individual investors are eager to trade cryptocurrencies like bitcoin, TD Ameritrade CEO Tim Hockey says in an interview.
Congress hates it. Regulators don't know what to do with it.
But cryptocurrencies like bitcoin are drawing increasing interest from investors, and they want to trade it, said Tim Hockey, the outgoing CEO of the online brokerage firm TD Ameritrade.
"Clients are asking for it"
"Especially given the discussions around Libra and the rebound in bitcoin, there's heightened interest again"

I disagree. Surprise.

Gee, And I thought the topic of discussion was Microsoft's closing down access to github, and potential solutions thereupon.

We've been through this a dozen times already -- its market cap subsists tremendously on the farce that Wright is Satoshi.

I acknowledge that a large input to BSV's market cap is likely the question of the Satoshiness of CSW. However, given the endemic presence of Craig Derangement Syndrome (e.g., the topic of discussion vs. your imperative to making the potential solution a referendum on CSW), it is rather unclear as to whether CSW's association with SV is price-positive, or price-negative.

You're acting like there's not already a hundred coins out there with some at least slightly innovating new tech that are trying to solve certain problems -- there are, and nobody gives a shit about them

Funny that. It's not about new tech trying to solve certain problems. It is about established tech that has already solved the problem of permissionless non-inflationary money. And the ONLY chain that is progressing back to that original design.

[nutildah]

Isn't that what's happening right now? Bad actors can only keep a really good idea down for so long. I remember there was this documentary from 2006 called "Who Killed the Electric Car?" Well, it turns out the answer is "nobody."

Breher you know full well we're not talking about CSW's association with SV, we're talking about Satoshi's association with SV. CSW came as part of the SV package, nobody is denying that. Its not an unknown. Its been factored into the price since Day 1.

Well, I don't know how you "progress" back to an original design, its more like a "regress." But I'd like to also use your own words to respond to this:

Gee, And I thought the topic of discussion was Microsoft's closing down access to github, and potential solutions thereupon.

Where is this goal part of the white paper, that Craig read, probably when he wrote it...

We'll see...

It may yet turn out that we have a transaction throughput problem with the current configuration, not to mention an L2 centralization problem.

And no, I am not overlooking the chainsize/full node maintenance centralization problem of the alternatives.

These problems, they need solving.

Actually the real answer all along was "absence of viable battery technology". But some of the conspiracy theorists (the idiot ones) had their heads in the sand over that issue. It was more fun and more policy-targeted to blame the oil/gas industry.

Let's start with this problem first:

"Why would I go through all the hassle and fees to buy Bitcoin so I can buy stuff with it (and then have to report the transaction to the IRS), when I can just use my bank account fiat and not endure any of that aggravation?"
