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

[JayJuanGee]

Speaking of something completely and utterly unrelated to the bitcoin price >ahem< 1.9 trillion "Stimulus" bill just passed. At the current price, you could buy 39.3 million Bitcoins with that.

I am afraid to disappoint them here. Let them have all the money in the world but there will never be 39.3 million popcorns.
 

Personal dilemma because I'm afraid of heights but I can stand new bitcoin ATHs.
Will I be able to get onboard the elevator?
That is the problem.
Or maybe I should avoid too much coffee in the morning.
 

Fuck the space elevator..

sure let them research into it, build it, imagine great things about it and even go in little space elevator "trips" including going to places where no man has gone before or whatever..

I will be perfectly contentening here on earth in my waning days banging hookers, lambo donuting and snorting blow.

I am fine here on Earth too. Space is boring.
One builds resilience while being perfectly grounded on Earth and I leave the crazyness to those who float with their head up in the air.

I believe that one of my main points is that certain adventures might be left to the youthful and the risk loving folks, and sure I was more youthful and surely more risk loving, but at a certain point, some of us come to a certain satisfaction attempting to live within our means and some of the risks that might be contained in just exploring within less risky boundaries.  Take banging hookers, for example, not exactly completely risk free or even boring, but sure some peeps might get bored with that, or at least feel that they have experienced enough variety of that kind of adventure and be willing to move onto other kinds of adventures - and surely for me, I still think that there are plenty of adventures here on earth that I can still explore - even though I do become winded a bit easier engaging in some of the activities.. .

Say for example, there might have been some times that I could run up that mountain and not really feel too affected.. and maybe even feel a bit stronger after the experience.. but sometimes attempting to sprint a block or two can be challenging.. so those kinds of real world limitations would curtail kinds of risks that might be taken, and surely some of the earlier adventurers into space may well need to meet some physical requirements, in which some folks may well just not be able to meet them, even though mentally they want to fantasize about doing x, y and z, and they fucking fail because they are living in their own fantasy about their own physical limitations that happen to be requisites for engaging in such adventures..  No I don't watch some of those real world challenges and obstacle courses, but sometimes it is quite amazing how much talent, strength and skills might be required and some couch potatoes are thinking that they could do that kind of thing too "with a bit of training" blah blah blah.   I did martial arts when I was younger, and sure some of the skills still are present, but some of the skills take strength and endurance too, and it is quite unrealistic sometimes to conclude that some of those can be maintained after certain ages are reached even though I am not even saying that they will go to zero, but they may well go from 90% to 30% and that decrease makes a big ass difference in terms of considering the kinds of goals and activities that are both practical and reachable.

Well it's quite simple, with every new bull run they need a new "scam-straction" to distract the pleebs away from Bitcoin.

With this new NFT garbage, it's like the mother of all frauds: selling outrageously over-priced digital tulips on the biggest scam blockchain of them all, ETH.

They will be *really* hard pressed to top that one in 2024.

I 🖤 Bitcoin

A harmless Alt spotted guys....!!

Please tell me you have waited for this... “Three Millionth User”?

Reason: there is no way to know your id before actually creating it. since  there's no way to know before, it means you have been trying it.

Well my guess is right... all below three profiles are created by you  + forth one

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=3000000 [Three Millionth User]
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2999999 [Three Millionth Loser]
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2999998 [3 Millionth User]


To keep it relevant to WO post i will say "Kraken CEO said Bitcoin could reach $1 million in the next decade"... that means Bitcoin could reach $3 million in next 15 years.

Scamstractions can make a nice sider of Satoshi when you dump them before the top.
They outperform BTC before exploding into thin air

Bitcoin Haiku Day.
The number is going up.
Proceeding as planned.

[JimboToronto]

Near future one BTC,
enough to buy property!
Laughed away by fools.

I bought my first house
In Mexico for less than
One entire bitcoin.

That was 3 years back.
The price of a whole bitcoin
Has tripled since then.

In Toronto it
Would cost 15 coins to buy
An average house.

I guess it depends
More on location than on
The price of Bitcoin.

[El duderino_]

5 k and 1
Thx for contributions W O,
And bitebits last punch.

My lil selfie
forgot about haikus - NOT!
A dedication.

That looks fun.

But I do feel a huge FOMO to sell. Dunno why. But I fear like the price will go to that 41K / 39K / 37K or even 27K.

Some people are nothing more than an example to hold up to others as a warning.

I feel like a jerk to say that, but those who trust their email communication to an Outlook server the internet almost deserve it. When will they learn?

ftfy

This position is a little bit too drastic for me. I think communication on the Internet can hit a sweet spot between effectiveness and safety. Of course, the right tools are needed, but they must be made widely available to the largely uninformed masses.

Of course you're right. We're communicating here aren't we?

If someone really needs to talk about anything important though, wouldn't Signal or Protonmail be better choices?

Microsoft? Apple? Google? Facebook? Lawl.

Yeah ofcourse .... on a world avg would one btc at current prices be enough to buy an avg house ?

Schools should be pushed into platform-agnosticism.

Public schools should be almost forced into OS/FOSS (if they like their public funding, that is).

There. I said it. Does this make me a socialist?

Open standards should be a requirement at a minimum. Propping up a corporate monopoly should not be something the government is doing. However, I'm not sure how far down on the list of "things that the government shouldn't be doing but is" that actually is in the last couple of years.

Much. Even better if it is augmented by end-to-end oldschool encryption (GnuPG/PGP). Which however entails making your public key widely available via a key server, but being ready to revocate it if for any reason it should become compromised. In short: key management is still a hassle.

Several wanted people have been incarcerated because they couldn't keep their dumb fingers far from Tracebook.

Perhaps a better measure would be that 1BTC is plenty to *build* a decent house. It's usually the land that is the stinger.

Indeed, most of the big e-mail clients have end-to-end built in. However, as said, using it is a pain and even just signing my emails, I ran into problems with shittily configured email servers silently dropping my emails.

Good question. Obviously a yurt in Mongolia would be cheaper than a mansion in Monte Carlo.

It's hard to find any hard data for anything other than cities.

I was including land and structure.

my brother wanted to sell me his 'used' tesla a 1.5 years ago? 2 years...I just remember it was 7.5 BTC...I probably would have done this IF he would have

kept the BTC...I'd be sad ..but at least the brother would have some BTC. But 'missed that bullet' sheesh...7.5 BTC for such...I would be 'sad' now...very, very

sad.... so HODL.

Long time no haiku!
Thanks for reminding me, Bob.
So here we go now:

NFT it is,
non fungible tokens, eh?
Dug into it now.

Seems like a new trend.
But when i read the papers
i see no demand.

But what do i know?
BTC is what i know!
Better stay with it.

That's a long haiku.
Prolly the longest of mine.
How should i end it?

Enuff useless talk
I'll end this stream of words now.
Time for some good weed
