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

[friends1980]

After almost 3 years on these boards, I've never really dared to take the leap to visiting this thread. I'm wondering how much time I'd need to start reading the WO from the very first post all the way to the last one. I'm also wondering if it'd deliver me inner peace or other life-changing insights.

I sense the seducing perfume of a challenge...

This is my favorite thread my brother .... :-)

Here they did make an honest and solid hodler out of me

I can feel the adrenaline pumping through my veins already!

I'll start from scratch in 25 days as a celebration of my 3-year membership - July 26th 2017!

  I'm of the opinion that this thread would deliver a life-changing insult before a life-changing insight.  If you persist, you might get a hat though

If price can close above $9260 here I think it pushes as high as $9500s

And then back down at least for short term

Wouldn't complain if Bitcoin just shot straight up here, but the trend is still down until over $9700s

Good Morning Bitcoinland.

Still hanging in over the line of the meme that shall not be mentioned... currently $9235USD/$12534CAD (Bitcoinaverage).

Maybe I'll get lucky and get to buy a little while the price is still in 4 digits when I get back to Canada in a few days. Then the price can take off upward. My main source there says no problem with covid restrictions. It's an essential business.

How I'd love to see the shop owner's face when I tell her that the 1 BTC I bought in 2015 from her shop's newly installed Bitcoin ATM (then worth $220), is now worth $500k.    

I may pay her a visit when this happens. I do hope she bought some BTC for herself...

Verify that she is not holding any wrench or wrench-like object when you disclose this information to her.  

You will thank me later.    

Luckily the people I bought most of my coins from have a lot more than me. Many of my early coins came from the folks at Decentral, the birthplace of Ethereum where their obscene profits from that sleazy scam made some of them billionaires. I guess I could have made a shitload if I'd jumped on their offer of buying into the pre-mine but then I'd have to live with myself.

The owner of my corner store that used to have the ATM started showing me increasing respect during and after the 2016-2017 bull run though. I once asked him how big a percentage he got and he said nothing, just flat rental of his floor space. The store across the street offered lower rent and the ATM operator moved his machine. Too bad. I think he realized too late what was happening. If he'd taken his end in coins, he'd probably be rich(er) himself.

Now I'm past using ATMs (hopefully) and back to doing OTC business with devoted Bitcoiners. Hopefully no wrenches.

Bullshit.

Cite your sources that masks do not prevent the spreading of this virus.

Those countries that imposed wearing face masks on their population in certain area's (public transport for example), together with social distancing and washing hands on a regular basis
are also those countries that successfully mitigated the corona virus outbreak (they bend the curve down). Those are the countries that are now slowly and in a controlled manner re-opening
their countries (EU, China, others).

Bullshit squared.

Cite your sources that current infection rates in the EU are the same or higher as the US.

Those countries that were least active or inconsistent with above mentioned protection measurements are noticing the consequences of that right now : increased number of infections,
increased number of deaths and a curve that is spiraling out of control, overtaxing their health system . Those countries (USA, Brazil, Russia, others) will soon find themselves isolated from the rest of the world
(if not already).

Overtaxing their health system? Is this an inside joke?

I'd say cite sources that ICUs in Texas are not at 100% capacity, but it seems the big hospitals in Texas stopped providing this info when rates hit 100%. Gee, I wonder why...

As for the rest.... CT you are spreading not merely bullshit or horseshit, but true elephant shit. And yes, the government can force you to put a mask on just as the government can force you to put a pair of pants on so you don't smear shit on everything you sit on, and force you to not dig a cesspit next to the town well, and force you not to dump your trash on my property.

That's the whole fucking point of a government: To protect the majority of the population from the idiocy of a minority that wants to sabotage it.

Funniest part is there have been people with views like yours throughout history: They're the ones that fought hard for their right to take a shit in the middle of the street. They're the ones who fought hard to dig cesspits next to the town well (giving us cholera). They're the ones that fought hard to keep doctors from washing their hands between delivering babies. The ones who fought hard to dump PCBs and chemicals in the town's drinking water.

They fight hard for every defeat.

As a kid I figured it was because they were mis-informed, but now I realize they are and have always been stupid fucking asswipes.

So give it a rest.

DC Bar Association Gives Nod to Crypto Payments for Lawyers

The District of Columbia Bar Association (DCB) became the most recent, releasing an ethics opinion which states that lawyers in the nation’s capital could accept cryptocurrency as a form of payment as long as the fee is reasonable and objectively fair to clients. According to the DCB, any lawyer who accepts crypto as payment must also take “competent and reasonable security precautions to safeguard that property”.

Thanks for this new Idea now I am also going to my dentist for this.

Now I'm past using ATMs (hopefully) and back to doing OTC business with devoted Bitcoiners. Hopefully no wrenches.

Back in 2015, I used to buy coins from ATMs (didn't yet have an account on an exchange). I remember I once wired $1100 to a friend who lived right next to one, and asked him to buy BTC for me and send me a photo of the QR code. He did. Later that day he called me and asked me whether he should also buy some coins. Of course I encouraged him and did an Andreas Antonopoulos-style lecture. He was excited. He wanted in. Until a few days later, when he called me and said he read on the net that Bitcoin was being used by criminals to launder money and was "no good". He even warned me against it and indirectly called me a "criminal supporter". He hasn't spoken about it ever since, but I see a bitterness in his face whenever we meet.

I guess many shop owners using Bitcoin ATMs in their shops do (did) it just for the rental of their floor spaces, they never really believed in Bitcoin. It was only in 2016-2017 that things got serious, but it was too late for most to get in. Well, we all now know that it wasn't really too late, but that's how it seemed to them, just like it felt in 2015 after MtGox.

Long story short, you can't have guarantees, you've got to risk some to gain some. With Bitcoin, being able to understand the tech behind it, and realizing its significance as electronic cash, gives you an advantage (a big advantage) over the clueless masses who just follow the media propaganda. For me, it was the understanding that production halves every four years (next was in 2016 at the time), so I just knew I had to own some coins before then. My only regret is not buying more during those early days.

Live and learn. And take risks. That's the lesson of all this.

I have tested negative.
I still wear a mask in public 100% of the time out of common courtesy. It doesn't put me out in the slightest.
Face diaper nazi eh? Get a life dude.

...
I haven't been tested, but that means shit.
....

Ok dude, I'll just take pearl of wisdom from some genius blowhard in a bitcoin thead over any doctor's advice.

...
99% of the people I see around me and interact, on a daily basis - DON'T wear a fucking mask...

Fucking awesome, I don't live in Greece and won't be interacting with you so ask me if I care.

...
They do look like face diapers though, don't they?...

If you think so, fine.
I'll still wear one in public and if it makes your tongue wag, all the better.

Now if someone ordered me to wear a mask - or else, wouldn't I call that person a Nazi tell him to fuck off?

You can tell him to fuck his grandmother if you like, that's on you, also tells a lot about your character.
Like I said...

I liked your posts better in the FE thread....

Cite your sources

Do Fox News and Daily Stormer count?

They would be sources, but with a pretty low impact factor.

Anyway, here's a nice image that explains it in simple terms.

I was blown away by a couple of bitcoin ideas (in addition to no third party control, etc.):

1. Emission curve
2. The fact that you can convert electricity into something that is essentially, money (or at least immediately convertible good), and it appeared to be legal.

Hodling idea came at least a year or two later.

Just looking at charts after the halving in 2016.

2 months after the halving the price was only up $50 vs the halving price (July 2016). We only really started to grind up in around November. The chart looks really similar to what we’re currently seeing, basically sideways for a significant period.

We should start moving up slowly through the gears, perhaps starting in September (if this cycle mirrors the last one).
