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

[JayJuanGee]

First haiku today?
We goin' up or we goin' down?
Uncertain Sunday?

Whichever direction we go, do we really care?
1 Bitcoin = 1 Bitcoin

Yes.... We do care.    

Whichever direction we go, do we really care?
1 Bitcoin = 1 Bitcoin

Yes but 2 Bitcoin better than 1 Bitcoin.
I'm getting way too nervous for my health, so I BTFD at $9870. First buy this year, and the highest price I ever payed.
For some reason I sleep fine when I'm holding BTC and the price tanks 50% but get very nervous about missing the train. Anyway, that's taken care of now.

Hopefully, everything will average out in a decent way for you hodl_2015, and if you have a long enough time horizon for your BTC investment, at least a few years, then it is quite likely it will not matter too much, even if your purchase of BTC today brought up your average buy price for your BTC stash a little bit.

wow, the FX markets have opened since 22:00 UTC after the weekend and since then the price did very well. weekends are for amateurs meanwhile.

And yet, maybe there is a person in the forum who could be a mediator between us? There is no way that this task could not be solved!

... use a dropbox.

Like put your chocolates in a railway station locker, downtown Wuhan for example. If anyone wants them they can ask for the combination.

After traveling through Ho Chi Minh city and especially now onto Bali, I'm starting to get the sense that people are treating the virus as a big nothing burger. Ok, maybe not nothing but certainly not more serious than SARS was.
More face masks being worn in HCMC but no checks or info at the airport and even many of the staff weren't wearing masks.
Now in Bali, it seems no fucks are given, no masks, nothing, just lots of whatevs.
At the airport upon arrival I had to fill out a card that asked if I was sick. Sign it and trade it for another card stamped health certificate. No temperature checks.
So what's the chances the media and markets have this thing blown up to generate maximum fears?

I did see one couple that looked a bit odd. They got a lot of funny looks and a few of us snapping shots.

I'm not gonna pretend that this isn't happening or be insensitive, just relaying sentiment from the ground level as I had passed through my own fears of what this virus could mean personally to now feeling calmer in general.

Corn still kinda sideways at 10k, all is good this week.

Can we get this optimistic/realist creep removed from the thread?

This post needs to come down before too many people read it.

Bet on the coronavirus pandemic by investing in CoronaCoin, the more the virus spreads the more valuable the token becomes and a portion of funds will be donated to Red Cross.

CoronaCoin (NCOV) is an ERC20-compliant token. The total supply is based on the world population (7,604,953,650 NCOV) and the token will be burnt once every 48 hours depending on the number of infected people and fatalities, so the token is deflationary and also non-mintable.

Send me all the chocolate.

And you will then send a tile to each of the WO's members?

Bring them to the $100k party.  It will be incentive for several peeps to break their opsec for a free tile of chocolate - as addictive as.. other things.



Try one.. there is nothing in here, except pure delicious... and each chocolate tile has a specially tailored image of your avatar

It's far too early to know what's real with this virus.

What some of the travelling Indonesian public and their authorities are doing is interesting but that's all. It could end up being very sad or yes prophetic.

For anyone who wants to live, and I get that you may not, there can't be any harm in learning about it, treating it as a practise run for 'the big one' and generally not rushing about glad-handing our Asian cousins until we know something 'real'.

- Number of coronavirus cases passes 70,000, death toll reaches 1765.

- First coronavirus death in Taiwan.

- Five new cases in Tokyo one in South Korea.

- Schools in Vietnam to remain closed until the end of February.

- Singapore downgrades GDP growth forecast to an estimated range of -0.5% to 1.5%, citing outbreak of coronavirus.

- Roughly 700 million+ are living under some kind of residential lockdown.

- MGM China closes doors as number of Macau hotels to suspend operations.

- New cases of coronavirus on cruise ship near Tokyo, raising ship's total to 355.

It's far too early to know what's real with this virus.

If you survive the first round of the coronavirus, you end up with fucked up kidneys, a fucked up heart, and your balls quit working, then when you get it again, your heart explodes.

It's still very early stages. In Thailand bars are checking temps before letting people in, the occasional poster warning about symptoms and to see a medic if you have them. Masks being worn, but mostly by asians who do it anyway.

We are far too complacent. By the time people do start taking it seriously, it will be far too late. It's too infectious to be stopped even if we started taking drastic measures right now, but the way things are going there is no doubt that it will go global.

- New cases of coronavirus on cruise ship near Tokyo, raising ship's total to 355.

How many people are on that ship again?

... began with around 3600 people on board I recall.

[Biodom]

My understanding is that all those who are not sick or not positive on that ship are going to be released soon.
This is apart from those who took a flight to US where they will be sitting another 2 wk in a second quarantine.

Does it make the shoe taste better or does the booze make you drunk enough you don't care?
However, i've done more disgusting things, but no.

Guys hello!
Today is exactly 2 years since I registered at this forum ! I do not write here often, (because of my bad English) but I read very often.  During this time you've all become like family to me, and I would like to celebrate it with you.  
Since I registered on the forum, my life has changed a lot, mainly thanks to the financial planning that I learned from you! I want to make every member of the WO`s  a small gift in the form of a chocolate bar made by my close relative from natural products.  
I have not yet figured out how to send the chocolate to those who want to remain anonymous, so I ask for your help with this.

I'll participate in your thought experiment of anonymous receiving.  I had considered the same when I wanted to send some BTC patches I made, anonymously.  
The best I could come up with was, create an anon email address with proton mail, Ask WO's to also create a new email address and send their shipping address (without identifying themselves).
 
Last time we played with this idea, some guys found a cool site that destroys messages after its read. https://privnote.com/
This way, if email is compromised in the future, nobody has details inside.
I'm not sure exactly if one could accomplish this in a trust-less way without 3rd party but its worth the thought experiment IMO.

Because you'd like to send food (a consumable) it adds another level of risk/trust.  I do believe your intentions are genuine and not saying you'd do it, but, it's not too difficult to imagine someone poisoning some WO Bitcoiners for whatever reason. Just saying.
Thanks for the acknowledgments here, I share the same gratitude you express.  Have a trustless merit
