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

Coca-Cola lost $4 billion in market value because of Cristiano Ronaldo


So there are many still argue when some well know personality tweets or speaks against bitcoin and price drops; and they present such events as bitcoin failed to establish itself. However this is totally a natural reaction these celebrities have huge fan following and such acts from them do impact the market.

Most of the time these impacts are short lived and things go normal after sometime. Specially in case of bitcoin impact is huge because we are still just ~100m in numbers and media is still not in favor bitcoin yet. More it's so unfortune that people can't differentiate between shitcoins (scam coins) and bitcoin.

The CEO of BitCoin has spoken:

"With the first country in the world which implemented BitCoin as a legal tender I declare every strong volatility is 'strengstens verboten' from now on."

LIAR CCP and Peter Daszak!!!  

EXCLUSIVE: The Wuhan Institute of Virology kept live bats in cages, new footage from inside the facility has revealed.

This disproves denials from World Health Organisation investigators like Peter Daszak who claimed the suggestion was a “conspiracy”.

Database with bat samples went off from Internet starting with 09/12/2019 due a claimed hacking attack but never went online again. In fact it was an Excel spread sheet which was "hacked".

I read about some wood frogs that freeze awake or alive in winter, sort of like hibernating. They have something in their blood like extra glucose that prevents their bodies from being damaged by ice or frost until spring.

There are at least five known species of freeze-tolerant frogs in North America, including the well-studied wood frog.

If it gets too cold, they can still die. They also need to freeze slowly, not instantly.

I am having some difficulties following you, cAPSLOCK.  You cite three dweebs who are already known to be shitcoiners as if they should be speaking more clearly about bitcoin in terms of what bitcoin has to offer versus whatever their snake-oil-salesman agenda might want to promote.  You are not incorrect about any of them speaking a lot of nonsense, and even criticizing them for "not knowing better" because each of them have the potential to be smart about bitcoin.  Roger Ver, Craig Wright and jbreher have lot's of potential to make the bitcoin case, but we do not hear any of those dweebs making the case for bitcoin, so why are we suggesting dweebs like Bruce Fenton, Ari Paul, or Brian Armstrong are much better because they are trying to have feet in multiple camps... and maybe they even believe some of the shit that they say, even though we surely can and should expect that they likely know better... but so what.. there are  lot's of disingenuine twats out there... and the three that you mentioned are already known as disingenuine twats rather than the bitcoin maximalists that you seem to be trying to make them out to be.. as if it were some kind of surprise!!!!!!! that any of them had supposedly fallen from grace.  

I don't disagree with your overall point that those guys are bunch of disingenuine dweebtwats, but aren't you, cAPSLOCK, making a strawman argument, or what?

I guess I am not familiar with their shitcoinery.  I thought Fenton was an OG Bitcoiner who at least sort of "gets it". And I do not know Paul.  I have seen him prancing about on twitter, but never paid much attention.  I figured from looking at a few tweets he might have a love for ETH, which is indeed a red flag.

It's just annoying hearing these people make these sorts of claims when the only way to know they are wrong, is to know they are wrong, which means you put in the time.  And there are tons of folks out there arguing from a point of ignorance when it comes to lightning:



That dude is a numbskull.

These other two should know better, and don't.

On the other hand I got a Jade voucher!

Those if you interested in Jade might want to go buy the token to get first dibs on the next batch.  Paying with liquid tether and you get the thing for ~$36.  For a open source hardware wallet that can do airgapped signing on it's own (has a camera) that is a steal.  And it is likely to be Bitcoin (+Liquid) only though it will also have open development.

The way it works is you buy a token on the liquid network, and then when they get stock the people who have the token can buy the RESERVED device with it (July they say).  It's a tokenized pre-order.

If you want to do the liquid (Tether) dance and get the 10% off you can use the Sideswap wallet to do it all, including buying the tether and receive your voucher token.  Be aware the sideswap does charge a fee to do the exchange... but you still get the wallet for less than $40 all costs considered.  Let me know if you need a hand.

Here is a CURRENT visualization of the "centralized" lightning network!!

Where is that from? I did a quick search and initially, it seems there are at least 12k lightning nodes with open channels. This is even more than the count shown by bitnode / earn other website that tracks regular bitcoin full nodes that are publicly seen (including mine.)

I'd say it's a good thing that both networks have more than 10k nodes each at this time. Each LN node probably doubles as a bitcoin full node too, maybe just not seen (although it both should be visible on the network.)

edit: Whoa! It uses a lot of memory as well.  Firefox is using 13 Gigs and counting with that page open.  You can move around, pan, zoom and see the node names on the map.
