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

[Biodom]

Definitely think this (hopefully temporary) dip has highlighted the somewhat overzealous predictions of late. Some of the alt predictions that were thrown around especially were crazy. Some of those alts have literally dropped right back down to lower than they were 3 years ago.  

With regards to king Bitcoin, I can definitely see a 75K and hopefully a 100K bitcoin later this year. Maybe more.
But 288K or 500K within the year? I doubt it. The 50K and 60K markers just seemed to have been too much of a struggle to quickly get over for something like that I think.

Obviously the long term trend is going up but we are literally at mid Feb prices again and that is with 2 months of quite bullish news.

I hope we continue to follow the Stock 2 flow Plan B model but honestly I'd just be happy if we can reach the likes of 250K-500K by say 2028-2029.
I think eventually his model will fail as it seems too good to be true.

If Saylor and Musk hadn't come along that model would probably already be out of the window by now. That's not to say Bitcoin doesn't go up and the longterm isn't bullish, it's just I think there are several coincidences that sometimes make it appear why a specific model works.

I hope I'm wrong though.

Plan C: a spring-early summer dip (not lower than 40K), slight upward starting in Aug (EDIT: maybe July?), bull restarting in Sept, accelerating into NOv ETF approval.
Bull culmination in Dec 2021-march 2022 at $150-300K

Imagine taking out capital gains over $1m anyways.. What is this, why not just convert to corn ASAP?

Well, like, I mean... building a sprawling ranch in East Texas costs more than a couple bucks ya know...

In this particular situation, if you are not ready, willing or able to pace ur lil selfie to less than a $million per year, then you gotta pay for that level of lackenings in delayed gratification or lackenings in creativity in terms of how to get the money to satisfy your needs (or more likely wants).

Just bought 0.015 btc, thats it, no more money in my exchange account atm.

That's too bad.

Personally, seems that each of us who are into BTC should be attempting to structure our finances in such a way that we do not run out of either BTC (upon price rises) or dollars (money) upon dips, especially we are not going to ever really know when the dip is over or even how long it is going to last, so in that regard, it is likely a good thing to always have some dry powder.. yes, sure, I hate to be too critical because it seems to be a thing that is a wee bit easier said than done, right?

That is some serious red mayhem going on.
Relax and take a break, remember why you are bitcoiners and why you are here.
Don't panic.
You know the game.

did i miss something? am i supposed to start the scream like a little girl thing?

looks like its just doing its bitcoin thing tbh

Well, I am not really sure, but if the BTC price dips greater than 40% (pulling this number out of my ass), it is not a bad place to start screaming like a little girl, even while you would likely want to be able to buy some too.. if possible.  But if the BIGGER dips come, like 60% to 85% (if still possible), that is not a bad time to scream like a little girl, too... Right now we have ONLY reached 27%-ish, so far.. so seems a bit early to be screaming too much.. yet.  #justsaying.

Really curious to know which alts are at their lowest levels  ? As most of them made x15 x50 from their bottom of 2019/2020... (fiat)

[mrjoy15]

Market is react beyond my expectation. I'm extremely nervous if BItcoin broke $49K resistance. Do I need take that chance? I'm curious at the same time if BTC back above $50K and then another bull rally may happen..

I just stay optimistic about the BTC market, wish in next couple of days everything turning green.

XRP, Cardano, Litecoin, Roger Ver Cash, Stellar, Dash, Monero, ZCash, Tron

Fair enough lots of new ones on the block, that have grown big in the last year like you said. But they said great things about those other ones too 3-4 years ago. Many promises that never came to fruition.
Most of the new ones will fall on their asses I think too and will probably not be able to hold the heights they may reach this cycle over a 4 year period.

Monero was almost at ATH (fiat) few days ago. and still 10x higher than march 2020.

Litecoin as well, close to his 2017 ATH few days ago... (fiat)

Tron as well...

Cardano made new ATH this year..

I really don't understand what you mean..

[vapourminer]

[...much snip...] But I doubt that we can have a world without government, and it seems that the more dense the population (such as in BIG cities), the more needs there are for a variety of government services.  There does not seem to be enough land for each person to have self-sustainability and voluntariness without attempting to account for various public goods, whether we are talking about roads or air and water or even questions about access to property that could be classified as either public or private depending on the structure - and I question whether removing government even resolves property rights and access matters.

time to immigrate to mars. plenty of prime* land is still up for grabs.

I really don't understand what you mean..

You don't understand how Bitcoin has multiplied by 2.5 and those alts I pointed out have not even held their ATHs from 3 years ago whilst the crypto market cap has near tripled?

Surely it demonstrates how diversification is mostly BS over a long period of time and to pick a successful alt that may work for the future is more like a lottery than a guarantee like Bitcoin.

[Paashaas]

Exactly, the higher the taxes, the more avoidance. Also, a wealth taxes is outright confiscation and is against everything free democratic societies stand for. I don't know where you live but I'm guessing there are not a lot of rich people there.

Welcome to The Netherlands

It has it's benefits though: if your investment goes from almost nothing to a lot in a short amount of time, you barely pay any taxes on those gains.
But if it's the other way around, you still pay taxes.

The Netherlands has been f*cked over for decades, I used to live there.

The same car I bought in the UK in 2016 new for £28,000 would have cost €90,000 at the time. BPM, emission tax, whatever else nonsense they could come up with and there is the road taxation based on car weight. They literally sold 4 of those cars. No idea how that foreign brand can stay afloat doing business with its small operation in The Netherlands.

When I saw pictures of an imbecile dancing on a table because of a gain in the election whilst businesses are still forced to close DuE tO A dAnGeRoUs pAnDeMiC and the no confidence stuff of trying to get rid of Pinocchio Mark Rutte straight after an election, debating till 2am whilst there is curfew for ordinary citizens but he just stays in the end anyway I almost had to vomit.

Also the tax system is incredibly complex with its mortgage subtraction stuff.

People are insane to constantly vote for the same 50% tax supporting imbeciles.

The country and its people are lovely but I cannot afford to live there with the lifestyle and freedom of car transport (have owned 2-3 cars at various times, nicely kept - garaged and used on different days) that I can have in the UK.

Taxes are higher here yes, but in return we have a much better infrastructure than the UK, it is a good deal to me.

Energy transition is not a free lunch.

We have one of the best tapwater that also cost money which i believe is also a good deal.

There are more but my point is all those higher taxes invested results that our country is ranked high at global indexes in tems of happiness, infrastucture, healthcare, education, children, quality of life.

Moral of the story; the grass is not always greener on the other side.

for me look like very long and not so probable in a bullrun cycle. With your hypothese, it means that :

- We are side way since end of february
- Going really down from April till july
- slow small recovery in august
- Go up again from september

So like 6 months side ways and down in a bullrun before going really up? hmm...

The way you said was not clear. If you compare only with the ATH of 2017 / beginning of 2018, yes still a part of them are still below. But we should remember that many altcoins made x100 x1000 during the 2017 bullmarket.

I remember lot of persons of this forum (legendary) said we will never see again ATH (fiat) price on most of altcoins.. At this end, totally false, and we are probably still not at the end of this run so..

If we talk alts VS BTC, yes that's a different story. Lot of them are still in some lowest point vs BTC. But that's not the thread to talk about this here.

The only way any of that is possible is because The Netherlands is one of the biggest tax havens in the world for mega corporations. Your country skims a little off the top of the taxes that would otherwise be due in every other country in the world. If The Netherlands had to stand on it's own with your tax policies, it would look like soviet era eastern Europe.

The nominal high was in April, remember? Hence, you need to start counting from there.
Same is 2013-high in April ($250), local bottom in July ($65 or so). Check bitcoincharts.com
And yes, it was a small bear within a larger bull (double-hump).
Since we did not do a very high move in Jan-April, the bottom should also be milder, but still higher than Jan 1.

Re taxation: we don't get any improved services upon higher taxation in US-this is just a matter of fact and possibly a difference from Canada and EU.
Houston collects enormous RE taxes and has NOTHING to show for it as far as services are concerned.
They do spend money on endlessly re-building the roads, then tearing them again and rebuilding again.
I swear-I have seen the same darned road being re-done twice within a few years (they made some kind of mistake the first time).
Ever seen the "Falling down" movie-an exact same thing.
Upon every re-build the traffic does not improve as a rule.
Plus, they are also taking several YEARS to rebuilt a HY intersection while the traffic is being congested there (on one lane).
