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

This Trump assessment was right, the problem was that the conclusion he made : do less tests ! That was of course totally stupid.

There should be a way to emphasize the difference between now that we have massive testing capacity, and the early part of the pandemic. Because right now when looking at COVID cases over time things look really scary, but looking at people in hospital with COVID, much less scary.

Meantime this is a pretty good compilation of modern conspiracies. Where do we fall on this spectrum?

(Hint: I hit the "Hollow Earth" level myself)

Interesting that they consider Covid being made in a lab as a lower probability than Elvis still being alive.

That was surely worded poorly, Should be Covid doesn't exist.

There is also a big difference between "COVID escaped from a lab" which is quite possible, but only some Chinese people know for sure, and "COVID was made in a lab". Conspiracy theorists will take any hint the former happened to jump to the latter.

The message is "Bitcoin is the King!"

I took a few top and old altcoins for this dataset. If you need more, you can ask!

• Data source: https://coinmarketcap.com
• Price: is low of daily price
• Bitcoin pumps: % changes between 2 consecutive days >= 5%
• Bitcoin dump: % changes between 2 consecutive days <=  -5%

FINDINGS

• In 2020, so far, there are 14 pumps and 11 dumps (based on above definitions) from bitcoin
• Bitcoin does perform stronger than altcoins.
• When bitcoin pumps, altcoins increase less than bitcoin. (look at p50)
• When bitcoin dumps, altcoins fell deeper than bitcoin. (look at p50)

Overall

Easily to see that the time-series of pclowBTC is almost overlapped and covered by others. It means generally the percent changes of BTC are smaller than of altcoins (in this dataset).

For specific coin

Over specific years (I choose 3 years: 2018, 2019 and 2020)

Correction for my past work. It is a shame that today when I played with data again, I found a bug in my code for past update. I am sorry for this. You can ignore that post (data validity is unknow, I took from another source).

The newest one is correct and data validity is good (from coinmarketcap.com). So I am sorry again and enjoy today update.

Yearly low price of bitcoin:

• Data source: https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitcoin/historical-data/
• Observed period: 29/4/2013 - 06/10/2020.
• min_l: Min of daily low price for each specific year.
• percent_change: % of changes in min_l between 2 consecutive years

• During the period of almost 8 years, the lowest yearly price of BTC has 7 years with increase (positive in percent_change), only has 1 year with a fall (negative in percent_change, at -40.7 % in 2015).
• Min and max percent of increase is 6.3% (2019) and 341.5% (2014).
• Also, see median_l, p25l and p75l (in statistics and in chart) to see the continuous growth (yearly low price) of bitcoin
• Make double check with another dataset from 2010 to 2020 that I made in WO
  

Raw results:

I guess we knew it already on the Wall Observer.
Sorry for the media outlet posted, that's where I found it.

Always on the WO first, don't forget.

EDIT:The following is thanks to fillippone since I was in a rush and couldn't find it myself

it was announced precisely on the WO:

Is George Soros financing US politicians ? Yes, like many other billionaires of all sides. That's not a conspiracy theory. The conspiracy is that he's part of the QAnon delirium with pedophilia, satanism etc.

Deep state, what does that even mean ?

Very true. In fact, had many of us (including myself) put most, if not all, of our fiat in Bitcoin years ago, we would now be orders of magnitude wealthier. You've got to take risks... Smart guy!
