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

[AlcoHoDL]

Guys, aren't you excited by the FACT that most of us will be USD* millionaires by the end of 2021?

I know I am!

* Not that I care much about the sucker, but it can still buy us some nice LHB...

I have found a few daily diff drops like this can act as a price drag. So if these downward block days stretch out for 3-5 days there will be downward price pressure.

The hashrate drops (supposedly because of the current floods in China miners need to temporarily stop operation), not the difficulty (which gets adjusted once every 2016 blocks or ~2 weeks).

If the difficulty remains the same, but the hashrate drops, the miners still mining get more bitcoin per hash. Which means they have to sell less bitcoin to pay for electricity. So I am not sure why a sudden drop in hashrate would cause downward price pressure, would expect the opposite.

heavy rain in China, hashrate dropping in Sichuan

bitcoin doesn't care, diff will retarget and it will still be the most secured asset on the planet

Latest Block:   644176  (27 minutes ago)
Current Pace:   106.9232%  (1073 / 1003.52 expected, 69.48 ahead)
Previous Difficulty:   16847561611550.27                           
Current Difficulty:   16947802333946.61                           
Next Difficulty:   between 17860258608729 and 18133699707126

Projected Epoch Length:   between 13d 2h 14m 38s and 13d 7h 0m 15s

so we are 69.48 blocks ahead of pace.

if flooding hurts hash rate in 1 day we will be under 60 blocks ahead of pace.

along with the 12300+ price miners such as myself will be smiling.

BTW if you pay attention I don't post here very much but i have been doing so for the last month or so.

Basically I really think we are going onward and upwards for a while.

And about 1 day later well 23 hours later.

we dropped to 49 blocks ahead

or a 124 block day vs a 144 block day. so the floods helped to lower the diff.


BTW. I chart diff a lot for many reasons. One is to decide how fast to expand the farm.

I have found a few daily diff drops like this can act as a price drag. So if these downward block days stretch out for 3-5 days there will be downward price pressure.

You were right. Did the flood cut power lines ? Or are dams dumping water and stopping their generating plants ?

Looking at the Eurodollar chart my Euro holdings might make me a USD millionaire by then !

one point...bitcoin owes us nothing...so, before you imagine spending your largesse, please remember this and don't get mad at the setbacks.
That said, the chart from May 2019-Aug 2020 is one of the most bizarre charts I have ever seen.
Perhaps, someone is trying to shake most of the crowd loose.

I am not a poet, just some thoughts regarding the current price movement.


Come with Patience and some capital
To buy bitcoin and some other coin
Future is bright if you are right
Buy on falls and hold for long.

After falls, there will be rise again
Just like after sunset there is always sunrise
So, worry less and enjoy the journey
Rather than being part of panic selling
Wait as the rise could be around soon.

Saw holders becoming wealthy in long term
And those want to make quick bucks in short term
Crypto Bitcoin may or may not be right place
As it may takes years for your price to bounce back
And if luck is riding, it could just happen overnight.

Edit : Thanks Last of the V8s for pointing it & bitebits for making the corrections where required. Implemented it

the USSA security state propping up Biden for puppet President has many parallels of Brezhnev https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leonid_Brezhnev at the end of the USSR ... was a running joke if he was even alive for the last years of his reign.

USSA is a crumbling empire, going bankrupt ... slowly at first, then all at once.

doesn't matter, Trump or Biden, it's now clear that the USSA is heading towards a cataclysmic bankruptcy event during the next Presidency, get ready.
