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

[VB1001]

Why are we paying so much attention to a clearly peripheral issue?
Everybody knows that @jbreher likes BSV. So what? He does not force anyone to buy it, just states his opinion (infrequently).
I think that he is mistaken, but it is just an opinion.
Some guys like pussy and some like something else, #nohomo.

All this lambasting a fellow WO member is for naught and kind of sad to see.
Reminds me of a conflict between bolsheviks and mensheviks or going even more "satirical/historical", Lilliputians and Blefuscudians.

All Lilliputians should break their eggs on the small end first.

Jbreher likes to talk about big blocks and small blocks, that's all.

I was staring at my DCA chart as I always do everyday , I realized, since 2016, I doubled my BTC amount every year. 

I can only double one more time that's if I go all in. 

Don't get caught up on unrealistic pie in the sky goals.

Consider your prudence, and you don't need to double each year in order to be employing the correct tactics. 

In other words, if you start to prioritize meaningless goal posts, you will end up screwing up a system that you have built and figured out to work.

In other words, tweaks to your system should be based on incremental changes rather than throwing darts at walls when you might not be as good of a shooter as you believe yourself to be, then you end up getting fucked up the ass because you accidentally (or should we say recklessly?) poked ur lil selfie in the eye ball.   

I probably bought my last fucking dip a week ago.

From now on unless there happens to be a huge ass percentage drop, I'll just keep throwing potatoes (DCA'ing) till it hits my target price.

There is never a straight up, so maybe if you are employing "buy on dip," you are not getting as much BTC, but you still cannot really count on losing dip buying opportunities.

Yeah, I understand that many of us here in WO thread have a kind of bullish, never to return to low prices theory, yet historically, it seems that those kinds of opportunities do still tend to come...

Maybe we could analogize from 2016, and yeah after a certain point, it became really difficult to obtain sub $500 coins.. and surely similar dynamics might exist in 2020.. trying to get sub $10k coins... I understand the dilemma and the urge to front load, and I have no problem with the employment of some front loading based on those kinds of ideas.  I did it myself.  I front loaded a bit in the three digits, but I was still always worried about front loading too much and getting caught in some kind of pickle...

Yeah, of course, I left some money on the table in 2015 and 2016, but I don't have any regrets because I really feel that I had front loaded as much as I had felt comfortable at that time, and I cannot go around kicking myself and say that I should have bought more - because buying more was just NOT prudent when I had already sufficiently thought about the situation and sufficiently frontloaded my BTC investment.  There is only so much that you can do and there is only so much money that you can reasonably get a hold of without putting yourself too much at jeopardy if matters were to go sour.. and my lack of regret even goes to the fact that I could have pulled some money out of my 401k.... it was my money.. but I chose not to do it, and the 401k money performed way worse than BTC.. but I don't care because I had already considered both the UPs and DOWNs and I made my then choices about what was then prudent..  No regrets, here.

front loading is so 2014-2015ish.
It's difficult to imagine a serious frontloading at almost 9K (vs 200-500 back then).
It is closed to most, but the fiat 1% now, soon to be 0.1%.
That said, i believe that the next 5-6 mo is the last frontloading opportinity of the next few years.

Of course, if we have been in BTC for a decently long time, we are already done with our frontloading, because we largely already established our positions.

However, there are other kinds of people out there.  For example:

1) if you are you just learning about bitcoin, you might want to front load

2) if you have never really been able to reach your investment goals in terms of quantity invested into bitcoin and cash flow limitations, you might want to front load

I understand that each person has to consider his/her own situation, so it might be quite difficult to front load or even to feel that you have sufficiently front loaded because each person has to be able to food and shelter himself/herself and also prepare for emergencies that might come up.

I also understand that it is more difficult to feel that you are able to front load if you are chasing the price up, and maybe that is part of the reason to frontload, yet the main risk of front loading does not seem to be so much from chasing the price on the way up, but instead NOT having any money to buy on dips because you frontloaded and then the price goes flying down and you don't have jack shit dry powder to be able to buy and maybe even start to feel that you want to sell some BTC in order to buy lower, and that is where those people can get fucked if they frontloaded too much and the price goes down instead of up.

I guess, in sum, I think that there are always opportunities to frontload and there are always opportunities to DCA... and none of us really know, exactly where BTC prices are going, but still seems that if we are just getting in, then we should try to strive for a 4-6 year investment window, and even if we have been in bitcoin for a while, we should still be considering a 4-6 year investment window with any new BTC that we buy... so we should really not be cashing out BTC that is younger than 4-6 years in our holdings... even though we have the right and the discretion to do whatever we like with our investments, I am still trying to refer to best practices in terms of long term investing into BTC that will likely give the best bang for the buck.. even though each person has to decide for himself/herself.

Interesting discussion guys. I think indeed it takes discipline sticking to your strategy and don't frontload, even when bitcoin has a seemingly continuing upward momentum from its $3k bottom. Somehow over the years I lost being sensible when it comes to Bitcoin, while I am generally cautious buying individual stocks (VTI FTW). I admire being stubborn and sticking to the strategy.

Feeling regret in retrospective to not have frontloaded makes little sense: you have a strategy and need to stick to it, perhaps it helps in case you imagine for a moment the bitcoin price went into the other direction? Especially having little 'dry powder' while bitcoin, seemingly inevitably, comes down back to earth is terrible. Bitcoin is on fire sale and you can't buy any.

It might have turned out very well for some, but that does not prove frontloading / going all in is a wise decision.

Confirmed: Craig Wright doesn’t have keys to $8 billion of Bitcoin
Craig Wright’s lawyer says he didn’t receive the private keys to $8 billion worth of Bitcoin and provides an update on the Dave Kleiman court case.

https://decrypt.co/16998/confirmed-craig-wright-doesnt-have-keys-to-8-billion-of-bitcoin

tl;dr: Craig is royally fucked in about 90 days.

But his lawyer said today that that was not the case.

“The file that he’s received did not include private keys,” Andres Rivero, partner at Rivero Mestre law firm, told Decrypt. However, Wright still expects that he will receive the keys at a later date. Rivero said the keys may come either whole or split into parts, but declined to discuss further the particulars around who has the keys and when they might arrive.

No way! This is a shock! BSVers are jumping off the bridges, markets are going crazy and no one knows how to react to this...oh wait, nope, no one with one brain cell and or even jbreher expected Faketoshi to have the keys!

jbreher logic:
1-Satoshi was a genius who created perfect code, thus we must follow truest implementation of satoshi code!
2-It doesn't matter whether Satoshi is an idiot who can't code, a serial liar and a perjurer who looses every trail he starts
3-

Show me where I ever made that claim.

Fuckin' liar you are, DaRude. Which puts you squarely in the class that you accuse CSW being a member of.

That you shilling BSV because it follows truest implementation of satoshi's code? Or that you claim that it doesn't matter if CSW is Satoshi? Cause it's in like your every other post

The following, you slimy bastahd: "even jbreher expected Faketoshi to have the keys!"

Was supposed to read as nobody with a brain cell (and jbreher) expected Faketoshi to have the keys. I can see how the wording can be confusing. My second bullet further makes the point by saying that you believe it's irrelevant if faketoshi is Satoshi (but BSvers for some reason still need to follow his truest implementation)

Well put.  I don't have personal issues with jbreher and he patently is not stupid.

That said I do feel the two main forks are run by a rum bunch and I personally find CSW an utterly sleazy human being, who is in my eyes a proven liar.  But that doesn't make our fellow WO member a liar - and he has the right to be mistaken, as does anyone.  Jeez, I have my bag of alts, one I am very attached to (as I suspect do many here).  I don't tend to shill it, I will however defend it.

Each to their own.

Apparently if bitcoin is to repeat the last pump to ath then it should reach around 400k. Besides, it seems like it's about time to start proper pumps up. We're in for a wild ride these two coming years.

Jbear is a bored af boomer who has nothing better in his life other than trolling the fuck out of WO members.

He is an early adopter with so many bitcoins, he probably doesn't give a fck which one wins.

Jbear has already won  in every possibility. He is supporting BSV now because why not.

OK spambot, even though your descriptions of yourself are accurate you can still work on being a better person.

Did someone die and put you in charge of deciding how good of a person I am (or not)? Im working on it thank you. Hopefully I can post less and get my blood pressure down.

I doubt anyone including myself will beat you up at the 100k party(except maybe Bob) once they see how poor your health is so dont worry so much. No promises though so watch your behavior there.

Fantasizing again?
I will challenge everyone at the 100k party to a typing contest to show how fast my old fingers are.

The Bargain Boyz Buy Zone was reached despite your crying as we crashed from 14k to 6500.

nah... you were saying that the price was going up too fast since about mid-May... so you were like jonoiv in that regard.  Then you tried to be smart by jumping in front of the mob and saying that you were leading. yes I once tried lying about when you turned bearish and you exposed me with a bullish quote of yours at a higher price from the summer that I merited. When caught in this lie I mostly ignored it and typed an irrelevant wall to distract from my embarrassment, but every reader of this thread noticed it.

Salty cunts stay salty How many times have you posted memes implying you are a young chick when you're just an old man(who wants to be a chick?) or perhaps a bitter old woman with high blood pressure and time management issues one rage type induced heart attack away from a nursing home.

Limit your posts to one paragraph a day and your blood pressure should go down to more healthy levels.

A sign of bad arguments is that you have difficulties staying on topic.. and devolve into concerns about the person.. aka ad hominem inclinations... .  yeah, I remember when I was 14, too.. hard to stay focused at that age, and always wanting to appear moar growed up.   Correct sir, I deserve the ad hominems you have directed at me for two major reasons. Firstly bc I launched text walls of ad hominems at you to provoke you. In fact most every regular reader of this thread can attest to the fact that I routinely make unprovoked ad hominem insults to anyone and everyone with almost no exceptions.  Secondly your insults are accurate to the point of and better described as being mere observations of a trained eye.

Well said JJG. You're a salty little cunt, but at least you are becoming more self aware of your flaws.

Im glad my supervision and guidance has helped you progress with your Cunt Conversion
Therapy. We just may make a good man of you yet and get your blood pressure to manageable levels in the process.

This is a chart I can get behind. 400k party sounds a lot better than 100k party.

Meh!

100k, 400k whichever. There will be a very big party here whichever we reach. Even 100k will make lots of us very wealthy
