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

[soxxx]

The amount of FUD out there is ridiculous right now. Do people forget how much has changed in one year?!? A year ago we still had not even reached $3100. We went on a run from $3100 to $13900 starting in April to June (A 3 month span)which we hit 5 months ago........5 months. So even if we are in some sort of new bear market, we are ALREADY five months into it......the last one lasted a full year. I don't think we are in a bear market by any means, I think within 6 months we will be in a bullish environment, and in a year from now we will be above $13900, and perhaps $20,000.

You're basically looking at the very definition of a Ponzi scam when people think the price going sideways is considered abnormal and that something is wrong if the price is not always going up 24/7.

There are many threads at Meta that calculate merit and stats and whatsoever....

Also you have bpip.org to follow numerous stats of merit, recognition, most posts, trust etc

Now please can someone make one very useful graph of stats of something we don't have (I already know the outcome whiteout and stats but still....)
What I want is to know not who made the most posts but who has written the most letters, characters on Bitcointalk??

Is there a way someone can provide this? 

It must be merit worthy if someone makes this ....

Is it Thursday yet?

Pity it ain’t

Why you peeps (teams included) censor ur lil selfies based on artificial man-made constructs, such as day of the week?



It's not a good look.

Possible choppy waters ahead. Trade with caution.

I have to admit first, that I am not a trader and I don't understand everything completely. Here are my questions and thoughts related to your frequent posts of bitmex liquidations. What is the relation between bitmex and the price of Bitcoin? In particular, why do you think that a liquidation of a long position precedes a dump in the price (which is implied by your post)? As far as I know, Bitmex is a derivate exchange and some contracts are cash settled, others physically, but I have no clue what portion is each. On the other hand, if there is an option for short/long positions involving real bitcoins that have to be sold/bought to cover/close the positions on the major exchanges like bitfinex and binance (I think they have their own short/long game looking at https://blockchainwhispers.com/bitmex-position-calculator/#), this may affect the price. But I don't see why the traders on the major exchanges will be influenced by what is going on on CME, bakkt, bitmex, etc. These futures and leverage tradings are like roulette - the player vs the house. Unless some manipulator dumps first on bitstamp, coinbase and kraken (which form the price index of Bitmex), I don't see any other connection with the price. And in that case, first is the pump or dump, then the closing of long/short positions, not the reverse. Or I miss something?

Arbitrage.  

You can arbitrage positions between futures and physical.

What do you mean by that: internal arbitrage in bitmex or external to other exchanges? And how exactly the liquidated/covered positions on bitmex can influence the price, say on Bitstamp? The price on Bitmex is determined by an index formed by the prices on the 'real' exchanges : CB, BItstamp and Kraken. So the traders outside Bitmex should look only these prices and not the derivate indexes which follow these prices. If you mean the external arbitrage, this would mean only that they can withdraw their bitcoins and sell them on ohter exchanges, which may or may not happen soon after the withdrawal, so again I can't see how this will affect the price. Again, I am not sure about all this. I am just thinking that only the short/long positions trading can affect the price if it is done in one of the three above mentioned exchanges (which I don't know if it is possible, only for Bitfinex I know, and the price there is monitored always by the traders)+Binance, which recently introduced these trades.

It's a part of my art; can't afford to have more clarity/size in the image because there are opsec resolution issues.

[marcus_of_augustus]

Masterluc's chart from nearly one year ago showed the price dipping to about the $6,500 level around this time, as a sort of final capitulation before the rocket takes off.

This!!

We are not far.

You might want to check your time frames again, I think you mean 2 years ago. But yes, pretty incredible.  Whoda thunk?

Good very good!

Yesterday, Bakkt breached the $100mln mark in monthly aggregated volume for the first time in its young history.

The more that I read about BAKKT, the less likely it seems they allow you to withdrawl physical bitcoins.

THEY LIED TO YOU - BAKKT'S BITCOIN DECEPTION

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7k3cBdjo7UA

Although it is true that there are no instructions concerning how to make withdrawals from the service, it is expected that Bakkt will be providing those to investors who are ready to make their withdrawals. Most likely, the company doesn’t want to make its withdrawal process open to the public.

In a world where assets get stolen in a flash, who can blame them?
