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

[lightfoot]

Let's see: It's 11:37 in Washingtoon, the speech is probably over, let's see if the Bitcoin crystal ball says war....

8190. So probably not.

What the price was still that high when you watched....??

Yep, I checked a few seconds before sending. Note that was coinmarketcap.com and not stamp (sorry!)

However yes, it does look like it's cratering to 8075 on stamp so I guess peace has broken out.

[lightfoot]

I suppose this is why there was so many "troop movements" yesterday, give the Iranians some stuff to blow up. Now the contractors come in, spend money, and fix everything. Everyone wins, woot.

Which would be... interesting. I wouldn't expect Trump's team to know how to play tit for tat, or even what a tit meant (well....). We'll see what happens, but an unusual departure from form.

Trump & Iran looking likely to have brokered peace, not giving one second to give a shit about bitcoin & WO Members.

[lightfoot]

Wait, it's 8112. Did Trump just urinate on himself on stage? :-)

Edit: No, that would be at least a 500 point move. Disregard.

Was wondering what happened to the $9k last night as it was surging upto $8596 when I passed out from the excitement.
So we didnt get to the meme part?
It will happen on the weekend then when everybody and their mothers are on the thread waiting to post their best vegeta.

[El duderino_]

would prefer to stay above 8K, then again I longtime realized the world is not giving a f*** of what I prefer

[El duderino_]

Time for work out.... A dip usually motivates me to go full berzerk.....

Will see where we are afterwards

Great interview with Trace Mayer and davincj15 about bitcoin, its code, proof of keys, monetary sovereignty and much more.

The last two significant movements (bart up/bart down on the hourly) have almost perfectly matched volume. I'd hoped for some asymmetry with larger activity on the leading edge (bart up). Vegeta back to snoozing.

[d_eddie]

Losing the 8ks? Bargain boyz emulator ON. BTD!

[jojo69]

nah

$8k holds

[JSRAW]

Okay, from now on .. not reading every word

It's too soon for Vegeta. It's way better to have some moderate gains and then some sideways. The halving is still months away, and that's just for the beginning of its effect (frontrunning aside).

Retesting $7.8K would be great. Then some sideways.

Also there is no way for continued and prolonged price increase without trapping some additional shorters for extra fuel. Margin shorters are still too little.

All is well.

I have written and published the first piece, a massive 30 minute read on the next decade of Bitcoin inspired by Brian Armstrong's garbage Nakamoto piece. I can't finish until tomorrow, but I will publish it broken into pieces as well. (Medium post limits)

Yes it's long, but it's also broad and deep

Where's the longish piece? I didn't find a link in the twitter thread, but maybe I'm just being slow.

By the way, did you try clicking on the medium.com link immediately above the twitter link in your above quoted text?



 

[d_eddie]

I mostly agree, but the weekend might still have some spare fuel to burn with the reduced liquidity, so the odd pumperino can never be ruled out. Ohh her wanton ways...

Oh yeah, nothing can be ruled out. I wouldn't be surprised either if we were to keep pumping and retest $10K like the last time... But that would be, like the last time, not so good medium/long term. There's not enough fuel yet for a prolonged and sustainable raise so fast, so soon.

I try to focus on the goal of $10K+ for this year and maybe, in the best plausible scenario, an ATH in 2021. That would be absolutely GOLDEN.

Has it been confirmed that Iran already "accidentally" shot down its own commercial plane?  

I am not trying to discount their level of threat, but it surely seems problematic to be accidentally shooting down your own people.... I also realize that war can involve a lot of chaos (even preliminary stages of such).. so there is that, too.

I see $8,463 as the so far high of this particular BTC price run...

Exaggerating or getting distracted into other indexes is NOT going to help to clarify matters.

Well, is is a bit of a mystery. Iran refuses to give black boxes to Boeing to see what happened. But on the other hand, they could just be doing this because 'pissed off' at the USA.

As Garrick puts in on Star Trek: DS9

Elim Garak:
I believe in coincidences. Coincidences happen every day. But I don't trust coincidences.

So me, officially on the fence on this but also very 'skeptical' on the coincidence!

$8514 according to the stream I was watching last night to get the latest price before going into hodl sleep to quote micgossens (rip brother, long live elduderino )

Skip to 41:01 as I thought it just kept pumping a bit after I logged out of the stream.
