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

We are pumping on a fake paste bin... Must be time to short.

or an insider trading on asymmetric information. We won't know for sure until after the fact.

[cbutters]

Who else things that that sell wall at 599 will move if the market actually reaches it?

[thezerg]

For some reason... maybe its all the ATM announcements on reddit...maybe its GoWest's capitulation email...
but I've got this feeling all my BTC "swaps currently provided" on bitfinex are going to be cleared out 24 hrs from now...

Right when I was getting used to making a bitcoin daily in interest...

For the record I am not shorting.  I am merely suggesting that others do.

He's un-ignored now. The potential entertainment value is simply too great to pass up. Low volume scare-mongering is amusing, as if a drop from here will do anything except allow me to increase my holdings. I'm a mysogynist asshole with thick skin. Holding BTC for years has that effect.

TERA is claiming to have out-performed the market ~5,000%. Decide for yourself if that's a credible claim, but it puts me in the position of either calling out a false claim or learning something. Either way, I benefit.

I don't care about TERA's claims, nor do I care about defending Jorge. I'm just pointing out that someone who considers "woman" an insult should not be acting so high and mighty.

I respect women for having feminine qualities. I respect men for having masculine qualities. How many top traders are women in the stock market? How many WSOP champions have been female? ever? none. World chess champions? none. Women generally have different skill sets. It's not insulting a car to say it's a shitty airplane. We are trading on incomplete information. I make assumptions based on generalities and they usually make me money. Take the moral high ground if you want, but I'd rather get paid.

I could have a debate with you regarding society's contribution in excluding women from those fields (and the other way around regarding traditionally "feminine" things that men might enjoy) by forcing members of both sexes to adhere to their gender roles through shaming and judgment, i.e. men are good at math, women are good at sewing, etc., AKA exactly the dumb shit you are doing now.

Considering that debate would be an enormous waste of my time when done with a troglodyte such as yourself, however, I will instead say that there is no need to justify the fact that you're an awful human being. I was merely pointing it out.

Looks like the wall is down on bitfinex, but still up on bitstamp.

Noted. You think it's more morally justifiable to force people to behave in ways you consider more socially beneficial? Just asking. Shaming and judgement have reduced the number of bastards (illegitimacy) for centuries and now we have an epidemic of unwed mothers. I let them service me, but their spawn usually end up in prison or on welfare. I blame nice guys like you. Funny how so many chicks also consider me an awful human being but still inexplicably desirable.

The name is ˜Karpeles" not "Karpelez", right?

Correct

real?

http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1zem39/mtgox_restructuring_info_from_karpelez/

ok, ok I know this is completely baseless speculation, but as this is the speculation subforum...

If Gox replaces lost BTC by buying them on another exchange, this is uberbullish. Disclosure: trading on the assumption that this is even a real irc chat much less on the assumption that Karpeles is telling the truth is extremely risky.

Ignoring that we have no hint at that happening, it simply.. cant happen.

I would imagine they could only get all the bids (744k) filled at ~3000. There, enough people should flock in to take profits and fill Gox.

That is an astounding 2 billion dollars. #NotGonnaHappen

I'll grant you that it's mighty unlikely, but weirder things have happened. A messaging app was just bought up for 19 billion dollars by Facebook, for example.

Fair enough, but what is the incentive? Do you think Gox is capable of earning 2bn in fees within the next 10 years? Maybe?? But it would mean Bitcoin would have to grow, and Gox would have to become leader again.

Ignore this if you are using Bitcoinity. Bitcoinity will show walls disappearing and re-appearing when in reality nothing happened. This tends to happen just about every time someone sells (or buys) in to one.

Sorry for the OT, but does anyone here remember who discovered "Willy" and when?

I wrote this article: http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1zdnop/peter_rs_theory_on_the_collapse_of_mt_gox/ and credited Willy's discover to my fellow Wall Observers here.  However, paleh0rse from Reddit claims priority but hasn't shown me convincing evidence.  

We were talking about Willy as early as December, right?
