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

[vapourminer]

I mean if you got like those guys the 'majority' of your coin on a CPU at less than a buck..well..

$64 looked pretty insane.. I think BTC was already like $11 bucks in Jan of 2013 as well. So that is my 'guess' of a cracking point...once the 'weak hands' lets call

it that, were to wash out..then my 'guess' would be you might not see such again till 80k or 100k Bitcoin. But much 'wrestling' with the fact with these 'whales'

back in 2013..the 'insane' pump in Bitcoin Price and it had to be a bubble. I just see the stressors now as the same at about 18K and 20K...hell, damn, I'm will

be tempted as such, and I'm retired and NOT living on my crypto anymore (unlike when I retired in Jan 2018) ..thus...I can imagine pressures of job/wife/money

here 7 years later with that kinda growth..getting to anyone.

hey ive done several main cashouts over the years for various reasons. and the biggest was after the 20k ath i hodled through. so hodl through 20k, then sell for around 10k ish average later.

smart, yes?

but at 20k i didnt need any more fiat. later things changed and a better plan developed so i cashed out at whatever price i could get, within reason. if the price was really bad i would of just waited but 10k was reasonable enough. my cost basis is ridiculous so for 10k a coin vs 20k a coin, my viewpoint is likely different than others.

i always figured to cash out some amount every several years. enough so i wont be pressured to sell or worry about things no matter what honey badger does. as i still consider the (very small now) odds of bitcoin crashing bigly to be non zero.

Plan B celebrating the big day

Please note the “market open”.
Like we don’t know bitcoin has been up for 99.9857% of time since Jan 3, 2009.

It could be a good day to read (again) the Whitepaper.

So I should fire up a miner to help this logjam?

my gpus are ready. cgminer ftw!

[Hueristic]

But yeah, in the midwest, folks really, really, bought the drug money hype in 2014.

lesson learned

It gets quite old that they buy everything hook line and sinker they are fed. I guess they are so gullible because they are basically honest people but scumbags get to use that to their advantage,

[vapourminer]

Ah, the old-school weekend pumps are back. How nice to wake up to $14,000 first thing in the morning. Still addicted to price checking as the very first activity of every day for the last several years.

i try to not check the price till after reading the WO 1st. makes it more fun. so i still dont know if 14k is holding or not, i still have a bit of reading to do.

EDIT oh well fun while it lasted

Tribute to a great actor.

I still think his greatest performance was as King Richard in Robin Hood (men in tights)

LOL to all the Bears who saw stocks dumping and shorted King Bitcoin as it heads to new all time highs.

 hope lasted less than 5 minutes, poor @proudhon 

Bitcoin broke the 2019 high and lasted just few minutes. I love it since it's very clear we will go up. Good part is this would be the highest monthly close of Bitcoin ever. Absolutely heartbreaking to watch such dump, however I want to know your thoughts if bitcoin breaks $14k again.

[UnDerDoG81]

I just received an sms to my German phone number with my correct name. Sender name was Ledger. They are telling me to update my ledger firmware due to serious vulnerability. Link is de-ledger dot Com

I know it's scam. Just googled it. But its worrying they know my real name, surename, phone number and that I own an ledger! My coins were on a paper wallet for 6 years and never had issues. Now moved them to the ledger to claim forks and get these kind of messages.

14k usd resistance is at the same time 12k Euro resistance. Maybe that's why struggling.

[JimboToronto]

Good morning Bitcoinland.

Nice to see last year's high finally broken and $14k touched, however briefly... currently $13819USD/$18408CAD (Bitcoinaverage).

While we may test $13k again, I think the real battlefront is still $14k. We didn't have enough volume on this first little sortie to settle anything.

Once the battle for $14k is done we should really take off.

Go Bitcoin go.

there  have been 52 days at 12,584 or higher

I always considered the Top 20 thread to be a sister thread to the Wall Observer from the days of Dree through Dooglas and now Yefi.

I always check out the WO first thing in the AM and the Top 20 before bedtime.

[cAPSLOCK]

... for all the hype about paypal (it's a big nothing-burger)

I promise the WO I will stop fighting this fight after this post... but I just want, one more time, to say why PayPal is important.

It does not matter that it's a "Robinhood" implementation, is extremely imperfect etc.

That announcement by one of the worlds most important payment rails providers in FinTech was a shot across the bow to every financial services company in the world not to mention central banks and governments.  Businesses now are beginning to understand they have no choice but to start talking about how they will integrate bitcoin into their services. And some of them will do it better than others.  Because there is money to be made offering the kind of services people want. This is exactly how free markets work.  Trust the markets! 

Anyway... I will no longer respond to PayPal poo-pooing because even I am getting annoyed at myself.

[philipma1957]

I firmly believe someone is purposely manipulating the fees to send Bitcoin and is causing the client to estimate wrong as fuck.

Right now, my client is saying that a 60 minute send is priced the same as a 7-day send... Yesterday we hit a solid number of blocks that reduced the txid's, but still... the next block, 97,000 transactions.  

I'm calling bullshit.  Someone is putting bullshit traffic on the highway but charging $$ for the express lane basically.

Yeah I have a sticky thread that gives some explanation as to how it is done.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2634505.0


It is old from 2017

and I should update it as I could list many more ways big pools can do this.

It is the major reason I don't agree with BTC maximinalist's theory of coins.

oh last few blocks are

654894.  2.55 coin fee to Antpool
654893   2.62 coin fee to unknown
654892.  2.51 coin fee to unknown
654891.  2.58 coin fee to unknown
654890.  2.50 coin fee to unknown
654889.  2.66 coin fee to unknown

I deleted that comment because Bitcoin functionality isn't really related to the price, but thank you for the link.

I'll read it for sure.

Bitcoin killin' it

Bitcoin Cash being killed (0.0189)

Lovin' it!

Are you referring to bcash...

Seems misleading to use the word bitcoin to refer to projects that are not tied to bitcoin... of course, we could say bitcoin lightning or bitcoin liquid or use the term "bitcoin" to refer to some project that is specifically pegged to bitcoin.

There is a project out there called bcash sv, and there are a lot of people who like to refer to that project with the name bitcoin contained therein, which is quite misleading, too... by the way, where has been our lil buddy, jbreher, one of the bcash sv proponents who has been lecturing us upon the inevitable blockalypse coming to bitcoin and his proclamations that bcash sv might be able to play a role in rescuing bitcoin from such hypothesized calamities?


 a wwwwweeeeeee   lil reckt picnic bear?

 

Don't go away.. we likie uie so muchie... especially if you would admit that you are and were wrong.. which does NOT seem to be too likely to happening.
