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

[JayJuanGee]

We're not going anywhere, period, unless someone is willing to buy above 453 or sell below it.  In the past 90 minutes I see 15 minutes during which trades occurred.

The relevance of exchanges to the bitcoin economy may be waning.

you seem to be forgetting heartbleed.

you can't log into to bitstamp.

That was quickly patched.  More quickly than some old money online banking web sites from what I understand.

Monoprix is huge btw - French equivalent of Walmart.  TLDR: They're going to take BTC soon, first on the site and then at retail.

So the only way that you can trade on Bitstamp is if you have NOT been logged out.. How long could that last?  I do NOT have a Bitstamp account, but I know that on some of my bitcoin accounts, I get automatically logged off, periodically.

So I'm guessing only bots can trade using the API.  Might be interesting to see what the trades look like without website trades.

If this is true, Carrefour will pick it up, they don't like smaller competitors who try to be ahead of themself.
Carrefour is second after Walmart.

Explanation

[jonoiv]

I think we have tested the top long enough.  So i'm turning very bearish again..  I could be wrong.  I frequently am, but here is my possible worst case scenario for the next 2 days or so..

[fred1111]

When you see the global phenomenon that is Bitcoin, the fact that the scarcity is only going to increase, I see its price grossly undervalued.

Sure, the price is mostly speculation now, but the fact is that there is surprisingly few people/organisations with money speculating on the Bitcoin price at the moment. That will probably change when more respectable exchanges start gaining credibility within the existing financial industry.

Until then, we're going to continue to have a bear market. There simply isn't enough demand to lift the price. So, forget about $1000 this year. And yet, I'm Hodling!

Carrefour would indeed be huge.  I've been to one before when I was in Europe, and it was more like a large shopping mall with many stores and restaurants.

Is there already a database list available in the darknet with username and passwords from Bitstamp accounts? I wonder what the price would be? Would the seller probably prefer BTC or USD? Any theories?

only bots trading

I don't know why, but it feels lately that we are in the calm before the storm.   The variance has shrunk a lot in the past few weeks, and the high and lows are a very tight window.   I can almost feel it in the air that it is going to start moving again very soon...

Nothing is happening, yet.
