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

Shit's happening guys. Insider trading or not, better buy what you can right now.

[UnDerDoG81]

So, sold, 80% back in Fiat now. I think we will test the 400´s again...

So now I got your coins.

Yeah looks like. And another time I made a wrong decision it looks like. At least I only made a loss of $200 from what I bought yesterday and sold today. Fuck that, I think I need to payout because I always make mistakes when I trade.

Ok guys I understand the number might not be exact to the dollar and that there are different exchanges which trade at differnet price. I will simplify this for you:  The resistance I am referring to is the 4 hour ema (blue line on wisdom). The price typically does not pass this line until 4 hour MACD goes up. Right now MACD is far from going up. Everyone thinks I pull these numbers out of my ass and they're "random" but actually I have a scientific method for each one...

So stamp is trying to actually break that resistance you discussed, this time at least.

[San1ty]

To be honest, Gox selling out was first solution to their problem I was expecting.

If their losses are not too big and price is right it's no brainer for the wealthy buyer.

The real question is:

How solid is the software they are buying? The customer-base is a great deal, but they'll probably have to rewrite that pos from the ground up.

Going up, up, up where are my cheap coins 

Even Risto said its time to buy, but bears will be bears

Well, if NOW it is not the time to buy, when it is?

I sure as hell regret not having money on the exchanges right now. I sent two biggish wires today, but when they hit both Stamp and Kraken it might not be the optimal moment. I would have bought a lot of $400 coins earlier today if I had the fiat there.

400-500 coins are amazing, but some bears will turn pigs and will wait or sell instead

The recovery is maxed out for now. It's going to take at least a day to consolidate and break $520 if not longer.

Sure.

[bitjoint]

Damn, missed the drop again.

Hey everybody can be wrong sometimes. These are exceptional times, TA won't cut it in this environment.

Sure.

Ramp.. he did say consolidate. were' barely to a consolidation. in an hr mtgox could be just gox. could be owned by someone else or could tell us they have no coins

let it all play out.. but I will admit Tera is always a tad bit bearish since I've joined the discussion

[gizmoh]

Who would buy an unlicensed faulty php exchange that's hated by most of its customers and has over $500 million in liability..
Unless its Facebook ! Winkle Douches  please call your friend Mark, err zuckerberg and confirm..

[ChrisML]

After a horrible week, I kinda feel back at it.

I was finnaly able to buy in some coins in the low $400's. In euros that was €324,- per BTC. Now, thats cheap. I remember buying coins 3 weeks ago for €524,- a piece, and downtrend was already going through walls.

Coinbase price is $10 higher than it shows on bitcoinwisdom and bitcoin wisdom shows ~15$ more than bitstamp.  Anyone tell me why?

[Ivanhoe]

Look mr Karpeles this is how you should communicate ^

[FierceRadish]

What a time for Kraken (my exchange of choice) to experience transfer delays.

Hearing rumors that gox has been bought out, can't confirm.

Well the rummors were in their html:



acq = acquisition

who would want to buy that crap.. i dont know

I hate to fuel rumors, but this is the speculation forum.  

Pure speculation, but in a logical world, the ONLY buyer would be someone whose reputation could dramatically overwhelm that of Gox.  this organization would suddenly benefit from hundreds of thousands (or whatever) of verified bitcoin accounts.  

An existing bitcoin player would seem undercapitalized.  It would have to be a financial services company.  But it all depends on how much Gox is under-capitalized.  Repairing a couple million dollar shortfall would be nothing to a large company -- in fact it could result in a massive profit if they've been buying Gox coins at the discount.

This would explain the activity on Gox and bitcoinbuilder -- it might be illegal and unethical for Gox to buy their own coins for 100 bucks, but I think that it would not be for agent X who (for example) buys 90% of the Gox coins trading at 5-20% of other exchanges, then turns around and buys the company for keep-me-out-of-jail prices.
