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

IMHO, you fellas should ease up on jbreher.
He is NOT R. Ver or craig W, clearly.  
An engineer and/or scientist, no doubt.

I root for the proper btc, but the jury is still open on whether LN would behave when we stress it with 100s of millions if not billions of users.
BTW, personally, i like second layer solutions like LN more, but I am perfectly willing to listen to the opposite opinion.

Jbear and the Bcash crowd would be ok if they sought competitive differentiation.  That's what competitors do.  They say 'our product is different and better'.  They have logos / brands which are instantly visibly distinguishable.  They make their product stand on its own merits. Jbear doesn't do that.  He pretends that his coin is 'Satoshi's Vision'.  He pretends that it much closer to the 'original Bitcoin' than 'Segwit coin'.  He says things like:

One of the things that makes BSV good is that it is being incrementally returned to the original Bitcoin protocol.

Jbear is not seeking competitive differentiation.  He is seeking to pass his shitcoin off as the original Bitcoin.  And I have no tolerance for shills, frauds or charlatans.

I think this could precisely be the competitive differentiation you seek. There is no doubt that BTC has gone through some major and controversial changes. But BSV's insistence on calling their coin Bitcoin is misguided. It's confusing and hurts their own case more than BTC's.

O! be some other name:   
What’s in a name? that which we call a rose   
By any other name would smell as sweet;   
So Romeo would, were he not Romeo call’d,

Other two graphs I find very interesting, and also a little bit scary.

Fist one is the total amount of negative yielding debt: it’s down from the highs well above 16 trillions dollar, but still at an astounding 14 trillions.
Bear in mind that you can find negative yielding junk bonds: you have to pay to buy a junk bond=nonsense.



Second graph is the percentage of central bank assets expressed as a percentage of the gross domestic product (GDP) of the respective reference monetary areas.
It ranges from 120% (!!!) of the SNB (National Bank of Switzerland) to 102% of the Bank of Japan (BOJ), to almost 40% of the ECB (They have just resumed buying 20 Billions of Government Securities per month). Good last the FED with 18 %, which has just announced a 60 Billions per month T-Bills purchase program, trying to fix the short term repo mess they have created.

Any sophisticated Western country could build a nuclear weapon in less than a fortnight if it wanted to, including countries that have never had nukes.  

Delivery systems would take a bit longer - but all have bombers / military cargo craft.

could be but the question is will US/RU allow to change the status quo?

[HairyMaclairy]

If you are building nukes to break the NPT, I think you are past caring about the US.

Nope, uranium enrichment is a large industrial undertaking and very time consuming.

200 Day MA & EMA bear cross confirmed for October 14th by MA & EMA forecasts.
The crossover price is currently forecasted at $8,710 (EMA) and $8,725 (MA).

Here is a close up of the strong resistance from these moving averages, starting to look similar to when the price rallied into the death cross last year:

Nah, Nuclear fuel is only enriched to 3.5-5% U-235.

A nuclear weapon requires at least 85%, normally 90% U-235.

Also, not all "sophisticated Western countr[ies]" have nuclear power plants.

From the Canadian article

The commitment promotes non-proliferation by removing existing weapons-grade material from Canada

Guarantee the Canadians forget to hand some back.

Certainly 5-10 years back not one of these soi-disant sovereign nations had a single nuke that actually worked; outdated systems, rust, showmanship and lies were all that held the whole thing together.
Like the uasf, it was much more the threat of action that was the danger keeping the whole charade together than any action.
Maybe nowadays a few cities could get glassed, but if anyone claims they are certain about even that, they are wrong or lying.

[HairyMaclairy]

Fair comment, particularly for the Russians, but I’m not volunteering as guinea pig. 

[Last of the V8s]

oh I forgot to rant a bit how again until recently you could track the British subs on the open internet. again until that became public knowledge and they bought a whole lot more substandard crap from their mates, upping their game very very slightly.
the enemy is always thicker than one would hope for but also more of a buggery-bollocks. (intransigent/determined)

[HairyMaclairy]

Oh go on then

[Last of the V8s]

nah i got errands mate
chores
dogs and logs, that's me for most of the day
but i might go and see that movie. stuff the mrs in front of downtown abbey and see if the joker's all it's cracked up to be

Good news YangGang. Our outspokenly pro Bitcoin/Crypto future President Andrew Yang has regained 3rd place again in Democratic Nomination betting markets.

He was briefly overtaken by Hillary Clinton and put into fourth as she stirred up speculation that she will run again. However Yang has conquered her and Biden and Warren are next on the hit list.

https://www.predictit.org/markets/detail/3633/Who-will-win-the-2020-Democratic-presidential-nomination

Trumps prospects look dimmer by the day as his own homies Foxnews have released a poll saying 51 percent of Americans back Impeaching and removing him from office. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/fox-news-poll-record-support-for-trump-impeachment

Whoever is the Dem nominee will likely be the 46th pres imo and imo that man is Andrew Yang. We can expect the debates to get unprecedented ratings as people realize how vulnerable Trump is. As America turns its gaze towards Yang he will surge in popularity as he exposes the other candidates as too old, too out of touch, or too much of a corporate whore.

The coming six years will be ruff for you.

Inaccurate, these predictions are all in good fun, Ill be enjoying my life regardless of who wins.  Its not like I complain about big things in life or even little ones like a few post being deleted.

Has anyone else noticed the severe drop in liquidity on coinbase pro for BTC/USD?? Order book averaged about $50 million+ in buys all the way down to $2200 up until yesterday. Within the last 24 hours it dropped from $50 million down to barely over $10 million. What happened here?

Coinbase revamped its fee structure. Again.

In the process, it nuked all standing orders made under the old fee structure.

PITA to set up all the ladders again, but whaddayagonnado?

bittrex, that's what I'm gonnado

Seems to me that Bittrerx has rather anemic withdrawal limits, but I may be misrememberating.
