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

[danadc]

Hello guys, I was reading some of the most important articles and for BTC I see very good things to come:

Bitcoin stayed lower into the weekend as ongoing problems at Silvergate bank pressured markets.

With United States equities delivering a strong finish to the week, Bitcoin and altcoins were unable to capitalize on what traders argued would normally be an opportunity for gains.

“Most global equity indices have now printed higher lows,” popular commentator Tedtalksmacro wrote in part of an update overnight.

    “If it weren’t for the silvergate fears, BTC would be primed to breach the highs above 25k next week.“

This can't stop BTC, it's just one of the things they have to keep it from going up anymore.

And then it comes out that the banks continue to have a lot of demand to buy gold, this is something suspicious, right? because right now? because of the war in Russia and Ukraine?

According to Krishan Gopaul, the author of the report, many purchases came from Turkey, China, and Kazakhstan. “In January, central banks collectively added a net 31 tonnes (t) to global gold reserves (+16% m-o-m),” Gopaul wrote. “This was also comfortably within the 20-60t range of reported purchases which has been in place over the last 10 consecutive months of net buying.”

Central bank purchases and sales accounted for 44 tons in Jan. 2023, with one central bank offsetting its stash by selling 12 tons. The largest gold buyer was the Central Bank of Türkiye (Turkey), which acquired approximately 23 tons during the month. According to the country’s records, Turkey now holds 565 tons of gold.

Gold and BTC investors are at a very crucial moment, are investors buying gold and are they ready to buy BTC?

It may be that I'm making bad speculations, it just came to my mind.

i will watch anything that dude is in.

[BobLawblaw]

They are building Github and eBay similar services on top of nostr now.

What a time to be alive holy shit...

[philipma1957]

what do you mean what is nostr.

do they have links to read on it

there is a great movie he did .

bubba ho tep

let me find a link to it.


https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bubba_Ho-Tep


if you can find a dvd or blu ray

the movie is great and they do a full directors commentary which is just as good

back in the 1995-2005 time frame movies often had directors commentary with a lead actor that made it like 2 movie vs one


phil = 22

buddy = 22

thanks i am reading it now.

so it is fairly private .

lets pretend my tag/code on it is 1234phil only i have that and only i can control it.

and lets say your/tag code is 12345bob only you have it and can control it

correct?


so other than video taping the screen, its a private peer to peer network with zero censorship?






23 for me
22 for buddy

[BobLawblaw]

You got it. With Lightning Network as the backbone, if you choose to optionally use it.

I'm not presently participating with Zaps or other stuff. Have intentionally not enabled LN support for myself for now. I'm just sitting back in info-gathering mode, and shitposting the place up a little bit, having a tremendous amount of fun while watching the NIP's flash by, and seeing everything being built out practically in real-time.

Haiku Sunday ChatGPT (because of course it is)

Write me a haiku that describes how it's no fun anymore to write a haiku because ChatGPT can do it better.

Do not be disheartened,
ChatGPT may write with ease,
But your voice is unique.

That's not a Haiku. Are you stupid?

.....Apologize ...blah blah blah.... Here's a haiku that I hope you will find satisfactory:

Haiku, once a joy,
Now feels like a daunting task,
ChatGPT's too skilled.

No you messed up again. The last line has too many syllables

I apologize for the mistake in my previous response. Here's a corrected version of the haiku:

Haiku was my joy,
Now seems like an impossible task,
ChatGPT excels.

No you don't. You are terrible at writing a simple Haiku

I apologize for the earlier mistakes in my haiku attempts. As an AI language model, I strive to provide helpful and accurate responses. Here's another attempt:

Haiku challenge looms,
Words struggle to form in line,
ChatGPT guides me.

You suck, and stop apologizing, you spineless AI woke POS...


over and out....

So it is a fail at haiku.

Banks always failing
Banksters then scream recession
It seems like a trap

you do have a choice
Break free of this cycle now
Become your own bank

Down that rabbit hole
Journey to the land of Oz
Bitcoin is the way

Just to be sure this one is 26 buddy has lost again.

I am going to take off for a day soon. Maybe Wednesday. Maybe next Saturday.

This is way O/T but I thought it was so cool..., yet shows the power of AI and why we want to pay attention to it...

I was interested (as a layman and non-programmer) in having someone write me a quickie program to make 4 * 4 matrices with all small value positive (or 0) integer values THAT ALSO had an inverse with a small integers.  This is useful in some types of cryptography.  Anyway, I was unable to convince an ex-WO member (many moons ago) to write one for me, so I just test-fired the ChatGPT AI bot.  This not 100% what I want (I would like to be able to "seed" some values into the starting matrix), but gives me a starting point.  Well, here was my second crack at my chat with the bot (in red and blue):

(Me):

Thank you.  Now write the python program so that all integers are 0 or positive, less than 12 and whose inverse matrix has all integer values less than 12.

(ChatGPT):

Sure! Here's a Python program that generates a 4x4 matrix with integer values that are 0 or positive, less than 12, and whose inverse matrix also has integer values less than 12:

import numpy as np

# initialize matrix with random integer values between 0 and 11
matrix = np.random.randint(12, size=(4, 4))

# check if matrix is invertible and inverse has integer values less than 12
while np.linalg.det(matrix) == 0 or not np.all(np.logical_and(np.mod(np.linalg.inv(matrix), 1) == 0, np.abs(np.linalg.inv(matrix)) < 12)):
    matrix = np.random.randint(12, size=(4, 4))

# print original and inverse matrices
print("Original Matrix:\n", matrix)
print("Inverse Matrix:\n", np.linalg.inv(matrix))

Explanation:

We import the numpy library, which provides functions for matrix operations.

We initialize a 4x4 matrix with random integer values between 0 and 11 using the numpy randint function. The size argument specifies the shape of the matrix.

We use a while loop to check if the matrix is invertible and if its inverse has integer values less than 12. The condition for the loop is a logical OR of two conditions: the determinant of the matrix is 0, or the inverse matrix has non-integer values or values greater than or equal to 12. The numpy linalg.det function computes the determinant of the matrix. The numpy mod function computes the remainder of division by 1, which can be used to check if a value is an integer. The numpy abs function computes the absolute value of each element in a matrix.

If the loop condition is not satisfied, we print both the original and inverse matrices.

Note: Since the values in the matrix are generated randomly, this program may take some time to find a suitable matrix. If you want to increase the likelihood of finding a suitable matrix quickly, you can increase the number of iterations in the while loop or decrease the range of random integer values.
