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

You guys (and gal) cannot be relying on me to be holding up WO statistics.

WO statistics are page count parity and post count parity. Word count parity ain't a thing.

JJG was gone for roughly one week, and the total WO post count parity, dipped noticeably.
Focus, nobody bought this dip.
Should he ever leave for a month or more, we are dealing with a 80% correction, to complete annihilation and lock down of the thread, on the yearly milestone.

Probably need to petition some kind of special waiver from theymos.. in case theymos is feeling trigger happy and inclined to deep 6 the thread based on per day post count...? or maybe if someone were to program chartbuddy II, then theymos would not notice the slippage?

....Don't just shift the goalpost according to your own whims. And you are still calculating it wrong. This is a waste of time.

Shifting the goal posts and making shit up remains one of lambie bambie's specialities.

Don't knock it until you tried it...

I could do a little script that would periodically repost a bunch of random paragraphs of your laddering strategy and or DCA tips extracted from your past posts. Perhaps also add some offending comments to jbreher, a few fuck offs here and there every time someone comes shilling altcoins, and a lot of randomly generated percentages (that never add up to 100%) and maybe noone would even notice. For additional impact, it would triple posting rate and lenght on thursdays. I would need access to your bitcointalk creds though. Maybe your private keys too... because of reasons.

WB JJG!

Would you please stop saying Boomers built the internet?

then the web was born before my eyes. that was when you coded your web page in notepad or vi.

Copy con TED.bat
@echo off
Echo Ted was my choice for Dos text editing
<f6>

i remember edlin in dos. ug. must of repressed that memory.

Yeah, that was the most unwieldy pos in the world, must have been designed by masochists.
I think I first got TED from a PC world magazine.

I seriously considered Tesla, got a beemer instead. Model S is fine, but overpriced by at least 50%. Model 3 is too small of a car (spacewise and for the money).

I really wanted a Tesla to work for me. But my daily driver of 21 years was a full-size van. Went and looked at the nearest dealership (over an hour away, FFS). Even the X was too small by a large margin.

Ended up with a Denali instead.

To add insult to injury, GMC recently pre-announced a 1000HP Hummer-branded EV. Maybe shoulda waited? Time will tell.

My mom said to stay away from guys in vans.

Horses bite, kick, eat a lot and shit a lot. Not to mention trimming their hooves every six weeks. 

Some of them like to step on your feet as well, one's eyes opened wide when I shoved it a few feet after it stepped on my foot. A 1500 lb horse on a horseshoe on your toes makes you real strong real fast.

[JayJuanGee]

first! it's over 9000!

Yes, again. I wonder how many times (or, possibly, how many years) we will see bitcoin crossing this line back and forth in the future...

Not likely to be too many more times. 

Enjoy the opportunity while it lasts.

Remember the last time we crossed $500? 

Yes... similar concept... $500 is a long way into the rear view mirror, just like $9k is going to be a long way into the rear view mirror too.... so, again, enjoy it while it lasts.

Finally caught up on WO and as it would relate to my IRL

*Back in Vietnam, no COVID-19 precautions or advertisements at all in HCMC airport however people looking properly frightened with face masks during travel. Still of the opinion that this is more fear than actual serious pandemic.

*looking at buying a new phone, Huawei Nova 5t brings inexpensive prices and current quality hardware together.
(I'd also get to raise a big middle finger to the trump admin ban and planned obsolescence phone markets)

*3 month daily DCA still going strong and this March marks a 3 year anniversary of an important pair, BTC/ME
100% of my savings is comfortably held in king BTC

Happy Saturday

I found something very disturbing, we might all be fucked anyway.
It seems that 45 percent of people infected gets pulmonary fibrosis, average life expectancy of someone with pulmonary fibrosis is three to five years.

https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.02.18.20024539v2.full.pdf

Gaohong Sheng et al. [22] have shown that viral infection could increase the risk of pulmonary fibrosis. Xie et al. [23] found that 45% of patients showed signs of pulmonary fibrosis within one month after being infected with SARS-CoV. Hui et al. [24] revealed that 36% and 30% of patients infected with SARS-CoV developed pulmonary fibrosis 3 and 6 months after infection. These studies consistently suggest that pulmonary fibrosis will become one of the serious complications in patients with 2019-nCoV infection. How to prevent and reduce the occurrence of pulmonary fibrosis in patients with 2019-nCoV infection are urgent problems for medical workers in the treatment of 2019-nCoV.

What is Pulmonary fibrosis

Pulmonary fibrosis is a lung disease that occurs when lung tissue becomes damaged and scarred. This thickened, stiff tissue makes it more difficult for your lungs to work properly. As pulmonary fibrosis worsens, you become progressively more short of breath.

What is the life expectancy of a person with pulmonary fibrosis?

There is currently no cure for pulmonary fibrosis but treatments and therapies are improving all the time. The average life expectancy of someone with pulmonary fibrosis is three to five years but if it’s caught early, treatment can help slow down the progression of the disease.

So at first i rejoiced, it seemed that lambie had defeated JJG and all was well.

But it seems increasingly that our heroic lambie sacrificed himself in the effort, perhaps he was a little careless with the PPE, or maybe in the heat of battle it was inevitable, but sadly our lambie appears to have been infected with the wordy virus.

A sad day.

He's like my lil side-kick.... that's what Roach said about Ibian.    

EDIT: Welcome back, JJG  

Thanks OOM..... Only like 11 pages, now, and then caught up....  

^^ Ye ye #NoHomo..  
Heads up Lambie missed you  

hahahahahaha

In going through the pages, several times, I had already seen that Lambie bambie had referenced me and even subconsciously, he could not control his lil dedos.

Welcome back, JJG. While I didn't miss your incessant walls-o-text, I kinda missed you, yourselfies.

Fair enough.. sometimes we can quite wear on each other over the years... .. even with some "goods" mixed in there, too.

Yup, I've been selling some since. After buying some more. Because that's what the strategy calls for.

Nice to get confirmation, once in a while, because I hate to assume too much, even when systems might be in place, people tweak and change their minds and even their approach from time to time....

While I don't know the level of your holdings, I'm guessing you're off by ordersofmagnitudesish regarding my percentage of holdings allocated to trading.

I suppose that could be, and in the whole scheme of things, some of the details might not really matter too much, even  though from time to time, there might be little statements that cause some curiosity or maybe they seem to contradict (or to be in tension with) previous impressions.

I don't mind providing some details from time to time, too.. it sometimes can be helpful to other members to get some senses of what other members are doing or attempting to do.  So for example, I feel kind of lucky in this particular round of BTC price movements because my sell and buy orders triggered almost exactly on the reversals... which seems to be a fairly rare event.... at least in my experience.. even though it does sometimes happen, it is a bit rare to be like within a few dollars and each of my orders are either $200 or even larger apart.   So, causes me to become a bit glee-ful even though I set my orders in such a way that I try not to become emotional about them, and I do not tend to change them either, so the price has to come to me, rather than my tweaking in order to fill the order.. so even though filling the order in a very tight kind of way causes emotions, it is largely just like winning a trinket out of a machine.. it is really NOT that BIG of a thing financially, just makes me feel good.


So I had my last sell orders trigger right around $10,500 on February 13.  Then I had about 18 buy orders fill between $8,410-ish and $9,910-ish.  The reason that there is so many is because they are on two exchanges and both of them hit exactly... hahahahah... So it is almost the equivalent of 9 buy orders filled because they are pretty close to parallel prices on each of the exchanges.. and similar amounts, too.

My next sell orders are just shy of $9,300, so I have not had any trigger, yet.. since that last filling of the $8,410-ish buy orders.  If my sell orders do not trigger, then my next buy orders are at around $8,210-ish... so you can see that currently I have nearly a $1,100 spread between my current sell orders and my current buy orders.. sometimes the spread is a bit larger and sometimes it is a bit smaller, and I kind of play around with my spread on the fly, even though there is still quite a bit of robotism in my methodology, too.

 My current increments on the way down for BTC buy orders are around $200 for quite a ways down.. and my current increments on the way up for BTC sell orders are around $250 until we get to $11k, and then they turn into $500 and then stay at $500 until we get to $15k, then they turn to $1,000 until we get to $20k then they get higher yet.. but I am NOT sure if I am going to want to tweak those numbers a bit.. I have some alternative proposed numbers in a spreadsheet that I would likely contemplate before we get to $17,500 (assuming we do).  Furthermore, I am quite sure that I would need to do a bit of juggling of my buy orders below $6k if we were to go below $6k, which is seeming increasingly doubtful.. but surely still NOT out of the question.. even though seemingly higher and higher unlikely the more that time passes and we stay quite a bit above $8k.

I was thinking about my private medical insurance which is supposed to cover me worldwide... but, yeah, probably there are lots of exclusions that I never even bothered to read... But I have just checked that it seems that there is a maximum cover of 50000€ which, after knowing the completely ridiculous prices of medical services in US, it's almost a joke.

dude, 50K?

we ain't even scraping you off the windshield for that...peasant

Yeah... but maybe it would be enough cover for an aspiring if I do get a headache while overseas?

I have read about completely terrifying stories (invoices/receipts included) of medical expenses running on the several hundreds of thousands dollars for what would otherwise be considered minor/mild health issues... like stents surgery, back surgery... or a few tens for a very simple bone fracture... and that without considering a long stay in the hospital which cost is simply mindblowing.

[VB1001]

You have to read all the clauses of your insurance policy, insurance companies normally do not take charge or do not include coverage if a pandemic is declared.

that's because we are rugged individualists...and stuff

Thought for the day with BTC at 9100.

[JayJuanGee]

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...  

Are you planning to retaliate?

Of course, I am Greek, dont mess up with us... like Sparta u know... No no, just curious but I ve learned my lesson anyway, lol.

You haven't learned how to quote properly, so I fixed it for you....    at least in this location. 

[Lambie Slayer]

Hodl and don't fall for the COVBULL-19 Flu Hype Its only dangerous for money printers like Jamie Dimon.

65 days till the Halvening and all is well.  

[JayJuanGee]

- jbreher has actually dropped posting shilling crap (so far). Nice.

Yeah. There has been a lull in the posting of ignorant misinformation regarding my favorite crypto, so there has been a corresponding lull in my posting of corrections.

JJG hasn't been around much lately. Coincidence?

Not really. While JJG posts his share of utter bollocks, s/he's not among the most egregious, averaged over time. Or especially averaged over word count.

Yeah... go ahead... blame the innocent.

A good friend of mine apparently is in isolation for covid, he was teaching his dumbass in china, but the interviewer for the news was such a fucking joker he had borrowed a kitchen dinner table chair from the one in isolation and was like 10 feet away at max no protection. Apparently this isn't being taken care of.

Even if this does not turn out to be a    very   big deal, which seems increasingly unlikely, what is abundantly clear is that humans are simply not wired to take contagion seriously.

If this one don't get us....
