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

Yeah... Why Bob? I think very highly of Andreas and his work on educating the masses about Bitcoin.

He's got too much "paid salesperson" / Ron Popeil type vibe going on now.

Used Bitcoin to prop himself up, with the help of the community, and now he's like a JJG kinda guy who loves sniffing his own farts, and thinks he's too good for anyone who dares disagree with him. Has blocked a whole bunch of luminaries who dared call him out. Painted himself into a corner and did himself no favors. Viewed as a pariah.

Absolute narcissist case gone pathologically wrong. Started off altruistic, but once he got fame/retard-income-stream for a bit there - briefly - went to his head, and turned into an absolute Garbageman.

I belong to the Twitter Toxic Bitcorn Maxi Clan, so, that's where this observation is coming from.

I've always had respect for him and what he has done for Bitcoin, but gotta admit that when he announced he was writing a book on Ethereum, that's when my opinion of him dropped.

New poll incoming. Old poll results:

December 2021 for New ATH is confirmed.

Those holding BTC for 5+ years OCT NOV DEC are like Today, Tomorrow and Day After Tomorrow.


New poll question:

BTW can someone please explain I didn't get he new poll?  "How much of your stash would you sell if Satoshi's coins moved to an exchange? (credit:Hueristic)"
"moved to an exchange" how? what you mean by moved to? May be I'm too naïve to under the logic behind this question.

 If you saw for example, these coins (I'm assuming block 2 rewards were mined by Satoshi himself)

Somehow I fear that, in the coming years, this choice we now have, to be or not be our own bank, will cease to exist, and we'll all be forced to use banks to store our corn. I hope it will never happen...

The vast majority of political theorists and/or strategizers recognize and appreciate the concept of scoff law, and they are not going to want to create an underground system, but sure I would not put it past them to play various kinds of cards that attempt to require some kinds of custodial services or otherwise reporting requirements - and the balance may also play out delicately in terms of how it may well have backlash repercussions for potentially more friendly jurisdictions - currently El Salvador, but surely others jurisdictions are going to be stepping up to the bitcoin optionality plate that recognizes and appreciates various oppressive aspects of our current monetary system (dominant dollar).

My theory is that in the future most banks will offer bitcoin custodial services, but it'll be like PayPal, where you will be able to convert some of your fiat balance to bitcoin and they will hold it for you, but in order to make a withdrawal it you'll have to go back to a fiat balance first (aka sell first). Because banks will start playing the fractional reserve scheme (scam?) with everyone's bitcoin.

One unique thing about Bitcoin is since it CAN be self custodied, and is a bearer asset both individuals and businesses will be able to avoid these sorts of traps.  So if the world you theorize develops, so might a parallel world which will challenge the people playing games with Bitcoin.  Perhaps even destroy them.  Hal Finney also talked about this in his famous "Bitcoin Banks" post I like to quote so much...

Hmm...NFTs on Bitcoin via Stacks...not exactly sure how it works, but they are certainly not on VB-coin.
https://decrypt.co/82891/bitcoin-nfts-stacks-blockchain?amp=1

Still, i am not sure putting down $1000 for a few pixels is the way to go.

Yeah... I have been mixed about Stacks from the beginning.

The project talks a GREAT talk, but:

1.  They minted a effing coin.
2.  I have never seen any of the Stacks apps really work.

And that's not to mention 3!  They have joined in on the stupid NFT craze.

On the other hand, if Stacks is just an affinity scam, then isn't Liquid too?

I dunno... I have a couple stacks accounts.  Burned bitcoin to make them, I think...  no idea if it's worth it.

[cAPSLOCK]

Looks like Bob's not the only one having a few hiccups.
https://odysee.com/@aantonop:8/how-do-you-do-a-dos-attack-on-your-own:2

To be fair, @aantonop is a fucking retarded shill.

I have merited this because you are principled enough to say it.  I think he was a great boon for early Bitcoin.  And he's a complex dude.  I can't STAND his political stance (nor do I agree with most of his positions as expressed, but I am not talking about that I am talking about the holier than thou, preachy intolerance).  And he does seem to have a bit of shilliness...  I do not mind that he is somewhat permissive of altcoins.  But the dude has to be smart enough to understand why ETH is doomed to not only centralize but be a net negative for "crypto".  And he wrote that book.. yeah.  Shill.

The poll is wrongly worded for this thread.

The wording should be: How much would you buy if Satoshis coins moved to an exchange? Because you know the shakey hands would drive the prices down so hard for a short amount of time. You know how many cheap coins you could buy? Seriously.

Yeah... I just logged back into this whole thing.

This stuff is all about affinity scam, I think.  All the old "apps" are deprecated and everything now is focused on the STX token and NFTs. 

Some of the ideas here are good (and originally pioneered by counterparty) but the execution is scammy in my opinion.

Sort of off topic...  But also not.

The 28 year old inventor of the FGC-9 (Fuck Gun Control-9) a nine mm semi automatic 3d printable rifle "died of a heart attack" in his car 2 days after being raided by the German police.

He created a 3D printable firearm that Anyone with a 3D printer and the right filament and some easily attainable parts can produce without permission from their government.

I am not a gun nut, or even a big fan of the FOSS firearm movement, but it is obvious to me that the coming world government wants to keep firearms out of the hands of those who are currently not allowed to have them, and take then from those of us who do.  Because they will HAVE to do this to control us.

This young man brought the possibility to bear arms against the coming tyrannical global rule to the people who do not currently have it, and was executed for it to be an example to those who will follow in his footsteps.

In the end I hope he will be seen as a martyr and his death will produce dozens more like him.  If nothing else I hope it will awaken some to what is coming, and why the US 2nd amendment is so very, very important, and a freedom that just like the freedom of speech should be replicated in ALL the nations of the world.

Hit piece about him here:  https://pastebin.com/ZRLpwW0L

"Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed, as they are in almost every country in Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any band of regular troops."
- Noah Webster, An Examination of the Leading Principles of the Federal Constitution, October 10, 1787

"Besides the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation, the existence of subordinate governments, to which the people are attached, and by which the militia officers are appointed, forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition, more insurmountable than any which a simple government of any form can admit of."
- James Madison, Federalist No. 46, January 29, 1788

"If you wanted or if you think you need to have weapons to take on the government, you need F-15s and maybe some nuclear weapons."
- Joe Biden, though incorrect, June 2021

To those of you who think I am crazy... I hope you remember this warning when you realize in the future that I was not.

I FORGOT TO MENTION THAT IT WAS FUCKING COINBASE WHO HANDED HIM OVER.

Wow very interesting question by Hueristic. This all makes sense now, but I strongly feel “Satoshi’s coins” is a wrong term we should say “Satoshi’s bitcoins”…. Satoshi’s coins… who knows what else he have under his wallet may be some Doge or Shiba or what else :p

That being said irrespective of Satoshi’s coins if you are a true Bitcoin believer his bitcoins moving to an exchange doesn’t effect bitcoin overall. Here on WO we have discussed this that Bitcoin is now much bigger than Satoshi’s creating digital currency or a crypto currency, it’s revolution now. Revolution against the Bank Mafia, Governments and Politician and <0.1% of worlds top policy makers who’s own more what we bottom’s 90%.

Let see the worst case scenario how much Satoshi owns guessing from the earliest wallets. Two Bitcoin wallets associated with Satoshi holds 980,000 bitcoin which is about $54.10 billion as of today on Oct 2021. That’s less than two days of current trading volume of Bitcoin. (last 24h volume is $38.36b).

So yes it will slightly effect bitcoin price in terms of $ and guess how much time would it take to recover back? Few weeks? Couple of months? Or a year? That’s it…. That’s it even a year is too much of over calculation. But question here is would I be selling “any thing” because of any such event?

Answer is big NO!!!!

In fact that will be an another opportunity to accumulate some more

Simple questions to you are how many addresses have been used .

And how much btc is in the top 1% of the addresses.

https://bitinfocharts.com/top-100-richest-bitcoin-addresses.html

that link shows that the same shit has happened to btc as regular cash.

top 1% whales
bottom 90% gets hammered

I am with you on the "just a while back I'd have thought this was crazy" bit.  But we are not crazy.  We are just seeing it early.  Eventually what is happening will be news all over the world.  On one side people working to give everyone guns and take the control of money out of the hands of government, and the other side wants to disarm the world, and obsolete private property ownership.  Who will win?  It might be our grandkids who get to know.

I am a little younger than you, but not much... and I have similar feelings about what Bitcoin might do for me.  But I am also afraid, especially in the US, that they might do whatever they deem necessary to strip us of the benefits we were wise enough to see early.

I have some old fashioned metal guns... But I might just add a plastic 9mm rifle.
