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

[jojo69]

A man walks down the street in that hat, people know he's not afraid of anything.

[JayJuanGee]

Hardly boring.

Not bringing up anything that is 5 days old. Since the jump from $7.3k to $10.5k, it's boring from last few days 😉

I think that there is a need to attempt to find excitement in both consolidation and periods of less BTC price movement.

Yeah, maybe you become a volatility junkie, or maybe just hoping for upside, but you are setting yourself up for disappointment.

Many folks likely remember 2015, about 9-10 months of BTC prices that were largely in the mid $200s with a few outbreaks, but largely gravitating back to the mid $200s. 

I know that I frequently post about the inevitability of volatility in bitcoin, and that is because I know that it is pie in the sky thinking for guys to be hoping that bitcoin is stable for several years.... it is not going to happen, at least not until after we reach supra $1million per BTC.

So yeah, bitcoin in volatile as fuck, but at the same time, consolidation remains a necessary factor, especially for several days, weeks or months.

We surely have both going on, and probably it is just as bad to be so impatient with BTC as to be wishing for volatility as it is to be wishing for stability... and in the end, king honey daddy is going to do what he wants.. and does not give too many shits about your preferences.

So likely it is much easier to just go with the flow rather than trying to push king honey daddy when he is not ready for pushing.

I am hoping that we can get to this stage:

Sorry to equate your casual dismissal of something to declaring said thing to be a "farce." How dare I.

Jbreher selective representation of facts and incredible leaps of logic

Like what? Asking for links to the evidence so one is able to reach a conclusion themself? Hardly a seleective representation of facts, nor any leap of logic whatsoever.

I thought trustlessness was one of the core principles behind this grand journey we all share. Don't trust - verify. amirite?

You are an expert in diversion, and denial.  I will admit that.  I have no burden to present your bullshit as if there were any need to give it credence or limelight or even to occupy my time with it, because I could give two shits about it, except just to characterize it for the shit nonsense and deceptions of what it tends to be.   

In other words, TLDR:  you are NOT rite.

No Haiku today. Sorry, I just don't have time. I wish I did though.

I was gone for the weekend, bow hunting. I saw a decent buck at about 55 yards, took a shot, and missed. C'est la vie!

Here are the poll results for posterity:

Do you even understand the purpose of escrow?

Yes Dabs, I understand the purpose of escrow, thank you.

I also understand that you keep the coins (acting as the escrow agent) until everything is resolved.
All for the scammers convenience - to make it happen. Or not, you might argue.

The problem is that there is nothing to sell or buy. I thought it was pretty clear:

~ are trying to make the most of what is inevitably going to happen (BTC>moon), and we should pay them for that?

#

It does sound fair. But then only if others decide to contribute.

Ah? Nope.

Their intentions are irrelevant, as I don't think either party will agree anyway. ~

Thank gawd they are so greedy & dumb, but their intentions are far from irrelevant.

#

Dabs i completley understand Escrow, ~

Get fucking lost.

#

~ To everyone else, that's the whole point of escrow, to prevent scams and scammers from directly taking your coins and disappearing. All conditions must be met. Sorry if it looks like I'm feeding a troll, I like this one a little better than the others.

OK Dabs, that is IF we trust you to act as an escrow, and we are convinced that you are not part of this in any other way.
Sorry for thinking like this - I don't believe you are involved - but you are the only single member to "support" these losers - which is weird.

[Arriemoller]

No Haiku today. Sorry, I just don't have time. I wish I did though.

good one.

Where you at BSv shills? jbreher?

Dunno why you're summoning me. I ain't got no dog in this fight. Do you?

Well, you _could_ have just verified the information yourself instead of throwing the ball back to the non-SV crowd. Especially after such evidence was presented to you in my post that you overlooked in order to ask for evidence.

[somac.]

Eyeing off the order book on bitstamp, it seems that the bears are gaining a bit more support. The sell side is growing and will soon balance out the buy side. This will make it easier for the price to go down. Still not even on the buys and sells, but getting there.

I'm hoping we don't have a bart on our hands.

It's time (again) for a Wall Observer Meta Post!
I made this post Monthly, so it will consider the merits sent during the month of October.
So I had to wait for the last merit dump, that included the last day of the month.
Also delaying a few day for my vaguely-bitcoin related Florence offsite.

MONTHLY sMERITS BALANCE

Code:

SMerits Balance=Received Merits/2-Sent Merits

Positive Balance means an user has been increasing sMerits on the WO thread, while negative numbers means the users has sent more merits on WO than received.
Negative numbers are possible or because he has been generous this week because he has been greedy past weeks (so only temporary imbalance), or because he has hoarded sMerits on other threads spending them on WO thread, or because he's a merit source.

Well we saw a little bit of merit circulation crunch in October. Some new air in the top positions. Nice to see a few "new" names rotation in the top receivers and top senders for this month! WO Gang is alive!
Also nice to see a solid increase of new merited members!

Still fixing glitches here and there, I am using this to getting better at data management (errors are mine).

“Simulations show that these patterns are highly unlikely to be due to chance. This one large player or entity either exhibited clairvoyant market timing or exerted an extremely large price impact on Bitcoin that is not observed in aggregate flows from other smaller traders.”

Don't fret big boy you're still 494 earned merits ahead of me, which is jaw-dropping. You're lucky that the WO crowd has such a hardon for you. Whats amazing is that, according to BPIP, you have the 9th most e-merits of everyone on the forum. Good job on cracking the top 10. Whats also bizarre is that I'm #14... only 5 positions and an almost 500 merit differentiation. That's weird.

I earn my merits from posting cool shit like this.



This post may go meritless but that's besides the point.
