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

The FED giving the American citizens a lovely summer's gift.

"Right you fuckers, us ten elite rich assholes which you will never be have decided that you can all pay more for your mortgages and loans because we have done such a great job over the years. Good day, good night and see you bastards all in a month when things will get even worse for you all."

Our lovely intelligent and well respected central bankers in the UK and Europe will follow suit very soon.


Bitcoin should fix all this nonsense but I guess it's just seen as a speculative asset by most and people rather put their faith in a bunch of rich bastards who fail them repeatedly.

Come on baby. Bounce, bounce!!!

Looking for sub 20k in a few hours or so.

No chance.

If philipma says, there is a chance.
Also, I see your account is from 2011.

Bought or it's your own?  

Now I want you on every rally to sell all the bitcoins you have left with so that I can buy more!

[philipma1957]

now what?

Plague of locusts probably.

Nothing gets better until we get the current clown-show out.

.75 should slow the bleeding for a while.

[OutOfMemory]

Finally some action  
At least we got some long wicks on shorter timeframes, which i rather missed lately...

EDIT: But who the fuck is shorting such pumps anyway? Shitty... 

[Gachapin]

get this thing out of the WO

[Arriemoller]

Don't even think about it.

[cAPSLOCK]

LOL. 

So Bitcoin is in step with the Nasdaq index like a couple synchronized swimmers... 

[cAPSLOCK]

Don't even think about it.

OK, OK!

But what if I were to say, "This might end up being the LAST CHANCE of buying Bitcoin under 20k?"

Would that be ok?

[Gachapin]

LOL. 

So Bitcoin is in step with the Nasdaq index like a couple synchronized swimmers... 

It's an US tech-stock now

[philipma1957]

LOL.

yep which is why the expected .75 fed move should level it off for some time.

I was hoping for the fed to do .50 or 1.00

either one would make more fud and spike btc along with the market a bit more.

the .75 will stabilize  the fud until more terrible oil gas and inflation news comes along.

I am thinking this is a lost summer for a rally and sometime in july we drop again once inflation show zero sign of stopping.

If you can buy at dca do so as  long as you can. I am set for 2 or 3  100 usd buys weekly for next 10 weeks.

Don't even think about it.

OK, OK!

Maybe.

To decouple from the stonk market bitcoin needs to be unit of account. To make this happen a lot of work is needed to improve usability of lightning wallets. Looking at the price chart under self hypnosis all the day long is not enough.

This loser should just give up now on that silly Bytecoin experiment. What a dumbo. I mean it's not as if anyone has ever made money out of this pyramid scam.
Remember tulips?!

Mainstream media and our central bankers know best.


Bitcoin price crash: MicroStrategy’s BTC losses top $1 billion as CEO refuses to give up on crypto

If I am allowed to post my prediction, this low-IQ astrologer will mindrust out his shiny new bitcoin at some point (archive):

If I am allowed to post my prediction, BTC will go as down as 3500 USD within a week. Buying after that will be a good investment if you are into it for years.

(Buying after the predicted bottom would be a good investment?  Why not buying the bottom if you can?  LOL.)

This was on a page where the two primary topics of discussion were (a) Covid, and (b) people quoting and debating mindrust’s declaration that he would re-buy at $3k.  Read that whole page and weep.  ImThour’s prediction of $3500 came a few posts after a mindrust post explaining why he did not re-buy at $5k.

This actually makes me feel somewhat better about having lost my bitcoins—because much of what I lost was originally purchased far below $3500.  LOL, waiting for $3500.  Anyway, at least I had the coins to lose; and I never would have chosen to sell them voluntarily, in the manner of panic-dumping.

So, where is ImThour now?  Proud that two years after he missed buying below 200 WMA at $5k as he predicted $3.5k, he bought a whopping whole bitcoin at, what, around $22k?

Imagine buying in Dec 2017 at $19,326 just to see it at $21,326 after 5 years of HODL. 

Imagine having an IQ so low that:

• You are surprised at the effect that black-swan events can have on a volatile asset.  Where were you during the Covid crash?  (I decided to check; see above.)
• You failed to notice the perfect storm of a mixed metaphor of a giant flock of black swans that has flown into Bitcoin for the past month and a half, which continue to arrive.  Without the benefit of hindsight Real Astrology(TM) for divining the future from the stars (or excellent intelligence into problems brewing in the market and in the world generally), the occurrence of these events was improbable and unpredictable; the possibility thereof was entirely predictable.  (A friend of mine told me, a few months ago:  “What if major disasters crash Bitcoin to $10k?  You will be wiped out.  You can’t predict the future.”  That was from a long-term Bitcoin bull who thought that $32k in January was probably the bottom, and who is currently HODLing without fear for himself—albeit with much fear for me.)
• You do not understand that due to the effects of inflation, $21,326 in June 2022 dollars is much lower than $19,326 in 2017.  If you were to watch my posts, shut up, and learn, then you may begin to understand the essentials of finance.  I believe I am the first one to have called that here (or insofar as I saw, anywhere)—crossing of the previous cycle top in real value terms—and I said it at $28k.  It is unprecedented.  Not even the March 2020 Covid panic pushed Bitcoin to anywhere near the previous cycle top, let alone below it in real-value terms.  I was always skeptical of the alleged four-year cycle (beyond the obvious observations that halvings add supply pressure); now, that whole theory is toast.

Oh, does that last sound bearish?  I am neither a cheerleader, nor a “crypto” shill.  I am attuned to reality, and I acknowledge realities whether I like them or not.  I still expect million-dollar bitcoins.  Unless Bitcoin totally dies, which I think is ridiculously improbable, Bitcoin’s built-in monetary policy practically makes that inevitable.  Past performance does not predict future results:  Value fundamentals predict future results.

proudhon is smarter than you are:  He learns from his betters and copies them, even if he will not admit it.

To decouple from the stonk market bitcoin needs to be unit of account. To make this happen a lot of work is needed to improve usability of lightning wallets. Looking at the price chart under self hypnosis all the day long is not enough.

To decouple from the stonk market requires teaching masses of clueless n00bs that Bitcoin is not a stock, it is nothing like a stock, and thou shalt not treat Bitcoin as “like a stock”.

It is only one reason to teach that, firmly and without compromise.  The primary reason is honesty:  The asset is actually nothing like a stock, so the prospectus must inform new investors accordingly.  Also, we need to avoid throwing the door open to the SEC and other securities regulators, who have jurisdiction over all stock-like things.  And also, we need to decouple from the stock market!  This coupling is ridiculous.

Bitcoin is NOT A STOCK, it is NOTHING LIKE A STOCK, and I will rain hellfire on any suggestions that treating it like a stock is somehow acceptable behaviour.  I have an absolute, no-compromise, non-negotiable zero-tolerance policy for mistreating Bitcoin as if it’s a quasi-stock.

Usage as money also deters the catastrophically detrimental error of treating Bitcoin as a sort of a quasi-stock.  When you buy Bitcoin, your dollar equity is zero.  You are exchanging one currency (USD, etc.) for another currency (BTC).

(I doubt that BTC can be a unit of account for more general usage in business, in consumer transactions, etc.; after having wished for that for many years, I doubt it.  1 BTC = 1 BTC is more than a motto:  It is critical to understanding the nature of Bitcoin, in itself.  Pricing of goods and services is a distinct, albeit overlapping problem.  But that is a separate discussion, probably beyond the scope of WO.)
