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

My theory: the whale(s) that got blown out of their short on 1/29, now has to make up their losses.

Will push price above 38 to bait margin longs, then dump several K.

Called it.

i dont do youtube btw. i hadly watch any videos on stuff i prefer summaries or transcripts.. stuff i can read, i get more info faster reading vs watching something in real time.

Amen. I try to avoid Youbube whenever possible.

About the only thing I'll use it for is perhaps disassembly videos for fixing laptops.

Most other content is total bullshit. As bad as Twit-er, Fussbook, Instascam, etc. Garbage.

I also hate when news sources try shoving videos down your throat instead of offering text to read at my own pace.

I stopped watching Youtube since Jan this year (my new year's resolution).

Yes, I play a bit more games on my phone (that earn some Satoshi's) but I also spend more time on stuff that grows my life instead of letting it pass by.

Careful, you can find good content on there and get hooked.

Man am I in a pissy mood today.

You know what really pisses me off? It's those fkn adverts that autorun at the beginning of every YouTube channel these days.

You know the ones.

Hunky dude: "Cardio burns fat. No! Cardio burns calories that... blah blah blah"

Old bearded man: "Jeff Bezos just invested millions in a tiny biotech company blah blah blah..."

Ugh. Balghlaalahfahgh.

Just pay the premium or you can use Youtube vanced. You have low-cost and free options not to see ads. And not to get pissed off.

Pay to remove ads? Fuck that, I'd rather be pissed.

That's exactly what's wrong with world today.

"Lets force bullshit content that they don't want and never asked for down their throats, then force them to pay hard earned money to remove it."

That's some next level mafia extortion shit right there.

Btw, when I'm in a good mood, the ads actually amuse me...I like to see what the dumb public falls for.

Actually installed it right after reading to give it a try.
It made me uninstall AdBlock Pro after a few minutes.
Thanks for the tip!

Very off topic: I'm wondering if anyone here reads Greek and if so can they translate the paragraph in the top left of this image for me. I can throw you some merits for your efforts.

I'm pretty sure it's instructions for the BASIC game below. The title of the game is 'The Ship', I think.

 I also used to have Adblock and uninstalled it as well after discovering uBlock.  I can't for the life of me remember why.

I use Brave Browser and am happy with the stuff being blocked. I don't want to go all the way and seek a fully add free environment. Sites gotta make those server bills paid.

A thought occurred that Elon's tweets are like another stimmy, especially for dog-e owners.
Check their reddit -it's hilarious.
I think that he likes to stir trouble, but somehow wins in the end.
EDIT: tweets about some 1999 song, a stock with the same name apparently pops as a result (as per news article).

Mainly:

1. It asked me if i want to run it in private mode, and let me know the consequences at install time.
2. With ABP i had some sites with "disable ad-blocker on this page, or you won't see the content", which worked out of the box with UB sucessfully filtering out all the ads.
3. Removed that youtube commercial spots, even on the videos ABP failed doing so.

Yes, to a certain degree of acceptability. If you have more than three ad-zones on one page, or if they're repositioning so they're displayed all the time, regardless how much you scroll the page away from them, if they hog too much resources and limit battery life, it makes them kind of unbearable to me.
I'm an old school power user. PC Energy and resources were precious back then, pretty much everbody of my type coded and used their PCs responsibly in terms of efficiency. Today it's so much not the same. I'm quite picky there.
i can well accept a single ad on a fixed position on a page, sporting some static image data and text, or maybe two of them.

EDIT: I just checked and found out i'm running "uBlock Origin", by the way.

 Isn't that the point of Brave?  You accept BAT for your ad views from some and give BAT to others to help with server bills; that way you're in control.  uBlock doesn't block Brave ads.

[Wekkel]

I’ve got Bat ads at maximum and click every pop-up (mostly proton e-mail and crypto sites). The few BAT earned each month go directly to the sites I vist most ... if they accept BAT 😏

Hm, ok. On most sites with unblockable ads I found a simple Javascript toggler can get rid of their crap and the ads. I use it from time to time.

Personally I believe it's my computer and I should be able to control what I see and download onto it. I also strongly believe in subscription models for valuing information and find the whole "ad supported model" to be 100% bullshit and a return to the Hearst News rags and that crappy Broadway play "Newsies". But that's a very different discussion.
