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

[efialtis]

Fellow WO´s,

just letting you know - I know you couldnt care less   - that I am back after some forced time-out and my first ban here on bitcointalk...   Promise I´ll be a good boy from now on!  

That being said - I have persuaded my best bro and he is now also bitcoin-addicted after being a hater for years. Thats a sign, isnt it. Now even accepting crypto-payments in his online-shop.

What did you do to get banned?

Oh well... someone reported me for PM AD SPAM...   Of course absolutely unjustified!  

Edit: I have never spammed an "ad" lol, wish I knew who has been so pissed to report a pm I have sent but I havent figured out yet...

Seagal is a Buddhist, claiming in 1997 to have been given the title of tulku — the reincarnation of the Buddhist lama — by a Buddhist high priest. For this reason, he was announced by the B2G project as a “Zen master.”

Sonic for the dude

just how it is

seems Wall Street is in complete panic mode now. 

The dream scenario would be 1% of the money being taken out of equities finding it's way to bitcoin. Bonds are at record levels. Gold is a joke to most investors, commodities are falling, most will just hold cash but what if bitcoin starts rising at the same time the stock market crashes? That reverse correlation could make for an epic spike.

I think we saw a decline in the last few days because traders are trying to make it look like bitcoin is correlated to the stock market. I hope they run out of ammo while the stock market keeps declining. Wishful thinking perhaps.

There is another possible explanation that doesn't call for traders conspiring to mock up positive correlation.  It might be that some people are simply cashing out thinking that, particularly in times of trouble, "cash is king" - Buffett style.  Or perhaps they just need the money to deal with emergency expenses.  Speculative analysis is hard to get right anyway, and turmoil such as this doesn't help to see things clearly.

The establishment chicken littles are starting to crow. I wonder how much is corona virus effect as stated and how much is them just saying it is to cover their rears...

The coronavirus may wipe out corporate growth in 2020, perhaps completely.

Goldman Sachs said Thursday in a note U.S. companies will generate no earnings growth in 2020. Underlying the call is Goldman’s view that the coronavirus is expected to spread around the globe and severely harm economic activity.

The market couldn't stand this growth rate anyway.  The Fed wanted to hike the rates a little, and only pressure from the orange ape made them keep on easin'.  This corona thing is actually a help for those who need a different narrative.  'Corona gets all the blame' is like 'dog ate my homework'.

Ascending triangle anyone?

Ascending Triangle confirmed. if we break below the ascending line then "God save the Queen".  

Maybe just maybe we have something here, it got a good bounce.

Romanian TV faking up an 'empty shelves' story. Everything from the shelves is just piled up behind the camera

[jbreher]

since when?

people write custom BIOS for older stuff all the time

not being snarky, really want to know

To lightfoot's point, I don't doubt that contemporary BIOSs are typically protected by such crypto signature schemes.

I used the BIOS example as but one of many possible malware vectors that one exposes themself to, should they be in the habit of investigating various random found USB devices.

And more specifically, one that completely sidesteps any filesystem-dependent countermeasures, which some seem to (erroneously) feel is sufficient to protect themselves.

BSvers at their best. If you redefine BTC to mean BSv, and decentralized to mean Ayre owns 60% of miners, then i don't see why Ayre can't do whatever he pleases with that chain. Idiots that buy those tokens deserve whatever is coming to them. It's funny to hear about courts from the guy who lost all his court cases.
As far as having some court in some jurisdiction try to stop real honey badger yeah good luck

[Cryptotourist]

I mean, look at Ibian - he's already feasting on this, hoping that this the one. Why would I give a fuck to this kind of approach?

I don't think I have actually said that I hope this is The One. If you want to know what someone thinks, why not ask instead of guess?

Okay,

This could really be the big one.

Jack Dorsey not only added the BTC symbol to his site but got it tattooed on his face.

So not only el dude has tats that matter here now.

+20 wo merit for this post

Ibian is an asshole (I forgot why I was mad at him tbh and put him on ignore years ago for a long time) but he has a point.

It is pretty clear that the current system is not working well and started to create more problems than what it is solving, and the only solution to that problem is lots people dying.

Nope, real world isn't a ball of rainbows. History of mankind is formed by wars, blood and misery.

Like it happened many times before.

This is going to happen not because he wants it just like Trump won not because I wanted it to happen or not.

I simply analyzed the problem, put my emotions aside and made the call. I was right with Trump, I was right with the Brexit. Nobody cares about my feelings. It happened anyway.

This is same with bitcoin, I want it to win but I also must think about the other possibility.

People don't like me when I share a bearish chart... Why not? What makes you think this will go up without making a big correction? And it does. Not that I am trading these predictions btw. It is not worth the risk, but for some people it is. Bears have to eat too ffs.

You want bitcoin to win completely against FIAT but there will be many grannies and dads who will miss the train and will fight btc forever just because some bankster told them to not invest bitcoin. What was their mistake? Listening to the banksters? Being not smart enough? Being old and dumb? At this point the movie "the big short" comes to my mind, when bitcoin hits $1.000.000, I am making the call here, lots of people will die. Not because I want people to die.

As I said, it is just not rainbows out there. People die.

Romanian TV faking up an 'empty shelves' story. Everything from the shelves is just piled up behind the camera

Yeah, I have noticed the same with Italy empty supermarket pictures. They just focus on some random empty shelve... and you can clearly see in the background many others completely filled... yet the pictures imprints the idea of a complete full stop of supplies. Fuck mainstream media. One thing is spreading bullshit because of incompetence (something I take for a given), and another thing intentionally misleading when you know better. Bleh.
