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

[AlcoHoDL]

Fun fact:

So I run out of fiat cash with all the season's expenses and the BTC buying spree, and thought of using my brand-new Canon colour laser printer to photocopy some bank notes. Here's the result:



It seems that the printer has some pattern matching s/w inside it, to detect bank notes! So I scanned the A4 sheet of the copy, and tried to crop and resize it in Photoshop to prepare for posting (image above). Here's what I got:



WTF! Even Photoshop has protection! I tried Corel PHOTO-PAINT. Same thing:



... So I launched good old Microsoft Paint, which did the trick! Never expected an M$ product to be so functional!

I Googled it, and found this:

EURion constellation

I covered the pattern and it worked! Bank note copied! Now I can go buy some MOAR BTC. Yeah!

Sorry for the OT, I just found it interesting. I guess consumer printers have become very capable lately, and companies are trying to prevent their use for illegal purposes.

Edit: I wonder if this protection works on that Z$100,000,000,000,000 third Zimbabwean dollar...

Edit 2: Took a photo of the same 50 € bank note, using my mobile phone. Photoshop still refuses to open it, displaying the exact same message. Corel PHOTO-PAINT opens it fine though...

I was thinking about a new company logo and this would be an interesting feature....

Pump soon? Target of this bullish inverse H&S is approximately 15% (head->resistance trendline) up to $8,500... if it plays out of course.



Notably this would take us to the top of the 6-month long Weekly bearish channel

Can you please post the whole bear channel for reference?
Thanks a lot.

I still have an old version of Photoshop that I use today. I'm guessing anything older than 2003 will work, as well as any open source paint editing software like GIMP.

I remember as far back as 2010 trying to photocopy £20 notes at work & the printer coming up with big error messages.

Separately there was an instagram page as recent as a couple of years ago that was selling fake notes. They shut it down. They passed the pen test in shops, never tried to bank them though.

A geezer I knew worked in a scrap yard and they'd only pay him in forged £20 notes.

They were fucking awful and you could tell instantly yet he still managed to get rid of almost all of them. Every shop assistant he offloaded them on would twitch the moment they touched them but they stuck them in the till anyway.

Somebody gave me some when I sold a sofa on ebay years ago. Obviously I didn’t know, they looked legit.
Tried to bank them & the cashier knew, I ended up effectively giving this sofa away for free because they confiscated the notes.

Was a shit sofa any way.

Bitcoin Price Reaches $29,000 in Iran as Mike Novogratz Calls BTC 'Digital Gold'

The price of Bitcoin (BTC) has reached more than 983 mln Iranian rials (roughly $29,500) on LocalBitcoins, the Helsinki-based P2P cryptocurrency exchange. This is nearly 300 percent higher compared to its current market value of $7,323.
Galaxy Digital CEO Mike Novogratz says that it's great to see the BTC price react to global uncertainty.

[bitcoinPsycho]

in German we have a meme of Julian Hosp (surfer boy) how he tries to explain what the price will be in the future in front of a whiteboard.

And he is saying: "It could go up but it could also go down."  

some posts forced me to remember on this meme.  

EDIT: you English natives seems to be friends of many words without so much content. how does it come?

That's what we want you to think

Like at just before the previous Halving we saw these spikes in Zimbabwe I think.... prices of 10-12K while we where at 6 or something

Signs?
