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

[bkbirge]

A couple good articles...

This one's an interview with a crypto trading manager who says she hasn't seen big institutions get involved yet...
https://www.forbes.com/sites/jeffkauflin/2019/08/01/why-we-need-new-legislation-for-cryptocurrencies-qa-with-institutional-trading-firm-ceo-jennifer-campbell/#26d7b22ab905

Forbes: Many people I’ve spoken with recently have said institutional investors are starting to come into the market more quickly. You don’t necessarily think that’s the case?

Campbell: They’re definitely coming in more than 2018. There are more traditional folks like smaller hedge funds that have come into the market. We’ve had more conversations with the large institutions, but none of the top five institutions are actually trading today.

This one's about more FUD from centralized institutions, this time in the UK...

I guess it's hard to steer a boat when it has centuries worth of inertia. They'll come around eventually of course but I don't think it's going to be a particularly smooth ride for us.

I particularly like this quote:
"Although not a ban, [the U.K.'s FCA warning is] a move in that direction," said Herbert Sim, head of business development from Broctagon Fintech Group. "This lack of enthusiasm is shared by several countries; the U.S. with its scrutiny of libra, and India, who are looking to implement a similar ban on cryptocurrencies which are not state regulated. These movements could end up coming back to bite. The international competition on cryptocurrencies is heating up and there are huge risks in being left behind."

I've tried to zoom this picture, and could find any air conditioner, but according to this picture it is getting a little bit chilly out there...

I also observed it is was maybe a good thing to raise the room AC of a couple of C° as room temperature appears to be a little bit cold...

Great minds thinks alike.....

Last night with my babe to celebrate the 10K$ again  

Good good let that dompy sink in

I do notice you’re WO material.... when 100K party

(You’re french yes?) a close neighbour then .....

French yes but not living there since many years...

[_javi_]

Which babe?
I all I see are  radishes, a mac laptop, a bottle of some undetected Dom Pérignon (might be 2009?)....

You're disappointing me, if you've only seen radishes, mac and champagne...

Oh yes.

I also observed it is was maybe a good thing to raise the room AC of a couple of C° as room temperature appears to be a little bit cold...

fillipoooo... you dirty boy lol

WO never cease to amaze me. The coincidences between members from so different locations, all thinking and feeling at a ryhme.
I also had a 10k celebration yesterday with my wifey. No DomPe, but drinks and chocolates involved. No lingerie, but i cant relate what happened later or post photos (NSFW  )


go BTC go!

Well if some guy on twitter says it, lol...
“Scarcity is about to kick in,” the crypto trading account known as Rhythm on Twitter commented on the event.

I think the lone comment wondering what the price will be when it is 99% mined is interesting.

[Phil_S]

Not really sure why $10,000 is acting like hot coals. It’s not a magic fucking pot of gold, why are people treating it as so?

HODL !

It's acting more like a magnet.

24 hours ago $10,000

Right now $10,000

Percents of changes between months are nearly the same for total replies; total pages that likely fluctuated between 1 percent to nearly 1.9 percent.
Percents of changes between months for total views are significantly lower for total views; all months have figures below 1 percent, ranges from 0.17% to 0.3%.
Within same seven-month period, the percents of changes between months for BTC price have min and max at -10.7% and 61.3%, respectively.

It is more interesting if dataset is available for more past months (in 2018, 2017 or longer).

Good job.


A few months ago I asked the members of WO:

How they want statistics, with data or images?

They prefer images

[tranthidung]

Good job.

Thank you. I can give you plots (images), but they are boring plots with just 6 datapoints. I need more data to have attractive plots. If I don't have more datapoints, I do not need to draw boring plots.

Don't worry it's an ironic comment.

The story before 2018 is difficult for me, all the data, except the price of Bitcoin, is extracted from the archive org, many data are missing in previous years.

Maybe you or LoyceV have the possibility to scrape the data in another way and get the complete history.

Last night with my babe to celebrate the 10K$ again  

..................

Why you are so embittered with everything ?

I think you really have (or had) problems in your life to act like this.

Don't worry about my "babe" we are together since more than 7years, she owns businesses and earn his life without me.

So don't be stupid, and enjoy the life, basta.

Jealous drivel...  Comme d'habitude.
It hasn't a chance in hell of ever being in a scene like that.

Just ignore it. When you quote it, it gets the horn. It knows everyone who already ignores it can see its putrid stuff and encourages it.

The actual quote in the UK bit merely spoke about some parts of the market being unregulated and beyond the scope of the regulators - and urged caution.

This is consistent with UK gov't stance and nowhere near talking of a 'Bitcoin ban' - the UK has never to my knowledge ever considered banning Bitcoin and government is quite happy to issue tax advice about it and allow pension funds to offer (limited) derivative products based upon crypto - provided risk advice is given.

As you said - FUD indeed!

I don't have skills to scrap data, LOL.
Anyway, it is good if you can confirm figures are for start or end day of each month. By now, I assumed figures are for first day of months.
Finished (but will edit a bit after receiving your confirmation). Enjoy!

Due to data gaps, I chose to start from Oct. 2017, till Jul. 2019.

• The thread will be updated monthly, with data dump from @VB1001.
• All percent of changes calculated for two continuous months.

Statistics are for first days of months.
