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

[JayJuanGee]

I once had 50M dogecoins  

sheit

I once had 1200 ETH :/

I once had 3 BTC :/

This kind of thinking is a wee bit pathetic, but I understand the inclination to employ it.

I'm still sticking to my fourth rule of crypto: "never sell everything", so I have some left.

I have some billion "Real Stack Coins" ...

What are all your other rules of crypto?

There are some rules in bitcoin that are going to really fuck you if you try to apply them to crypto (aka shitcoins)... .case in point... is Loyce's list of supposed rules.. ..... careful out there boyz.. and girl

As a straight guy I have to say I'm not into dildos normally.

But green dildos? Yep, I like green dildos.

 

So you wouldn't be a bunny in late Hefners house?

Opsec...

Careful.. boys and girls.

 

Just sold a teeny weeny little bit, so now the price is pretty sure to go up.
Also, it's going to rain all day today and all day tomorrow, Jippie.

Told you so, didn't I.

Sell enough for a pizza and  a pitcher of beer. We will go over 65k

When though, Philip?  Are you lowering your expectations for $70k or are you just asserting that $65k is going to come before $70k, for sure? (I know that you are mad at me, but whatevers)

 

OT: Aiming in part to protect the stock market from retiring stock selling boomers, Congress is about to pass the Secure 2 act...you will not have to take mandatory distributions from IRA/401K (in US) until either 75 y.o. or never (if you have less than $100K). They intend for you to pass it to your descendants and then they will tax the s-t out of them because they have to dispose of all money received from mom/dad IRA in just 10 years. A pretty cunning plan, actually.

I remember peeps getting so worked up about some words out of Biden's mouth about capital gains taxes that were not very likely to pass, and surely there were some exaggerated interpretations therein.

In this particular case of the "Secure 2" act that you proclaim to be pending, is it really going to go through or is it largely in the theoretical stages rather than being an actual factor that is going to affect real live people (or at least the descendants) in the near future?

Secure 2 act is bipartisan, so it WILL happen this year.
As I said, this is to prevent boomers to sell stocks en masse to withdraw RMDs.
After boomers leave this world, descendants would have to get distributions from inherited IRAs in only 10 years (accounts would have to be zeroed out in 10 years), so gov would recoup taxes fast, a pretty "slick" move.

ETH will rise (perhaps a lot) because it is still the Smart Contract/Token platform.  But over time people will realize that Bitcoin can do ALL THAT on sidechains without crowding up the base layer with cryptokitties.  Boom use case destroyed.

ETH is going to 10k, then 20k. It will stick around because they won't let it die and some institutions are buying them already. Plus it has the wierd (if it's considered odd) thing that it uses 18 decimal digits after the point. The coin is fundamentally different and it isn't a fork of BTC, but it does use a blockchain.

If one can get some sort of UniSwap equivalent to run on top of Bitcoin, then ... ETH is going to go away.

Check out Sovryn, it's a no KYC defi exchange on RSK, still in early stages but looking promising. RSK sidechain is secured by Bitcoin merge-mining, so already way better than Eth.. you can find more info here:

Price is coiling, honey badger ready to strike

well, we have Liquid and we have one chain (that shall remain unmentioned) that is trying to put executable contracts on btc.
DEX would be next, that's correct.

Hey, did anybody invest in cumrocket (I kid you not) for funzies? lol...or rather WTF?

[Biodom]

 

is this canadian or australian, singaporan, or hong kong?
Around here, we use gallons, but then liters, not litres.
In TX, it is (in USD) $2.68/gal=$0.71/liter
I know that it is pretty cheap comparing with EU.

This is basically EU price level with 50% discount...

Going by our current price cycle, I'll say Australian

I think he was more so posting it because of the 69.69
That was the target those doge lovers were trying to hit for their ATH on doge day.
Well it seems they should reschedule it for may 8th instead when their fearless leader will be making an appearance on a show televised live later on today in around 28-29 hours from now.
WT actual F is going on with crypto?
BTC and the number two (Vitalik's science experiment ) dumps while this coin hits it's ath at the same time.
Here is a thread for you to show your frustration as I am in right now:

[vapourminer]

At least some of us can be less mad at [REDACTED] in regards to that ideological position, even though I was not making any claim about your ideology but instead your wanting to post off topic shit in order to edumacate us in ways that you believe that your shitcoin is supposedly related to bitcoin because you have been making more bitcoin from it blah blah blah.

some peeps work jobs to make money to buy btc. some mine btc directly. and some peeps mine whatever coin makes the most per watt and buy bitcoin with the proceeds. i see little difference.

personally i found [REDACTED]s explanations as to btc difficulty vs price as a functions of power temporarily being diverted from straight up btc mining in power limited farms interesting.

disclosure: i mine shitcoins on gpus/fpgas and trade for btc. small scale, i dedicate one 20 amp circuit (and only draw 15 amps max from it to follow the 80% rule) to my mining and thats it. so profit per watt is important, as the more profit per watt the moar btc i get by trading whatever crap im mining.

stacking sats is stacking sats. however you do it.

Picture a mouse and an elephant.
Picture how much a particular person contributed to bitcoin success (via promoting mining, teaching people how to do it with detailed know how, reviews, etc, etc.).
Then picture someone whose contributions are mostly endless diatribes about minutia.

Now, let me propose that @philipma1957 is the elephant (for those in the know in the broader community) and @JJG is the mouse.
Then, picture a mouse telling an elephant that it is mad or less mad at it because of some blah blah (whatever).
The funny thing is, irl elephants are afraid of the mice.
They shouldn't be.

Finito la comedia

Well, he’s going to have to wait, another 24 years...

Nice shiny new Gretsch 5 piece added to studio. Thank you bitcoin.

I like that.

But the really funny thing is elephants simply don’t give a fuck about mice.

I am simply getting old and cranky and annoyed too easily.

I Don’t know if it is being 64 and finally have positioned myself  in a good way when it comes to coiins.

I don’t know if it is that i helped setup hundreds of people to make money mining.

Trading is and will never be my thing. But I came to this thread last year because I thought the time was ripe for the bull to start running.

So I turned out to be correct. So to all I will post here and I will post what I please.

deal with it.


but i do not say buy shit coins.

go back and read what I post.

Same here. I do have a drum kit in my studio (not your fancy Gretsch, though), but my pathetic drum playing is inadequate without cutting slicing looping juggling suffering etc. I guess you know what I mean - multimic drums in particular are triple, quadruple, quintuple hell. After days of editing, I'm left with a lifeless performance that I would have been better off simulating with samples. So samples it is until some real drummer can come to help.

We have more cheap than doge.

Buy buy buy, satoshi to the mars.

I will put drums on any song you like.  Wanna hear a sample?

Here... i was setting up a bunch of mics on this low end "too many toms" kit I have in the studio right now and wanted to hear a balance of the kit and also make sure all the toms were making it in OK which is why it's so masturbatory.

actually for me is the fact that someday if lucky I will be in a nice nursing home like my parents..were at before they passed...a fine place...but....even if you are on the ball..you can't

play with finances and such...you'd have a living estate you are in a nursing home by the by....you could I suppose look at grandkids stuff. not the same

can't have cash in a nursing home that is a vulnerable adult issue...you have a dorm sized room...can't fill it up with junk...so be it a school teacher

or a banker...once in the nursing home it is simply giving young staff a bad time and a ribbing and/or sweet-talking your way into another tapioca pudding cup...

since then...nice as it was for my parents (by the by...go to small towns where people actually see their folks and extended family once a week or more is

the way to go..drive far away from any city above like 30,000 to enroll in such is my plan in the future) ....anyway....since then my 'don't give a flying fig' on stuff has gone up about 20x

....dumb as above my sound...the

alternative to not making it into a nursing home is worse!

So I'm brave as f*ck now on many things.....perspective... it's a bitch.

So the next 20 years or so are gonna be played a bit 'more' fast and loose!

OT, but tangentally related...now another coin is da thang and has many connections with bitcoin and it is mineable (sorta).
If you can't find any large external HD pretty soon....blame it. It is already happening as I was shopping for a 18TB drive (they are gone until late may, June or cost twice as much as the week before). I can't believe that this is happening again together with the GPU fiasco. Quite a few former/current bitcoin miners are getting on it now.
Bram Cohen is not nobody, albeit it might collapse just as Grin did.

My interest there is purely technical-an interesting way to mine and it is not cough-filecoin-cough which was basically all sold to the rich or very rich (like Novo and Winkelvoss crowd). NO ICO here, just mining from 0+reserves (50% in eventuality) that they promise not to sell, but to allow institutions and countries (??) to borrow.
You will be hearing more about this one, I am sure.

EDIT: btc pops to 58K...nice.
