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

[Torque]

I think that in retrospect, a lot about the WO has changed over the years because their hasn't been as much new about Bitcoin (the tech) to really discuss and debate atm.

In the early days, you had a number of topics that were fresh and still up for debate:

- Bitcoin as currency vs. digital gold (reserve asset)
- Bitcoin security (solid)
- Segwit (success btw)
- Miner 51% attack threat
- the role of altcoins (Now pretty much settled...there is none. They are all PnD shitcoins with no utility or value beyond what Bitcoin can provide)
- the block size debate (seriously, does anyone still care about this or still want to debate it?)
- the role and success of Lightning Network (Working? Yes. Successful? Not sure yet. I mean, I guess so..but I still don't use it)
- Taproot
- Smart contracts (aka solution looking for a problem)

and then you had topics like

- Butterfly Labs (ugh)
- Mark Karpeles and the implosion of Mt. Gox (double ugh)
- China Ban Bitcoin (again, and again, and again, and...)
- Bitcoin will spread to all major online retailers like Amazon, Apple, Walmart (never happened)
- Bitcoin will be accepted in every store or restaurant you walk into (never happened)
- Bitcoin ATMs will be everywhere, and extremely popular/used (nope)
- Overstock.com adopting and buying bitcoin
- Bitcoin forks (Are they a threat to Bitcoin? A: Pshhh, no)
- Ethereum "flippening" (never happened, never will happen)
- Bitcoin ETFs (this did eventually happen)
- ICOs (dead)
- NFTs (dead)
- DeFi (dead)
- Tether threat
- Facebook creating their own digital coin? (died/shut down in the crib)
- PlanB and S2F model
- Elon Musk buying bitcoin...and then selling it.
- M Saylor buying TF out of bitcoin (and still doing it)
- Is Craig S. Wright the real Satoshi? (Bwhahahaahaha! Oh man, lol)
- Why did Bitcoin Jesus become Bitcoin Judas?
- Wtf happened to Jihan Wu? ("Fk your mother if you want fk!")

...and then you had all the trolls that all came and went over the years (WAY too many to list)

A lot of this is in the past now.

Bitcoin works, and has been working since the beginning. It has survived everything thrown at it.

And is still the King.

I think that it is just variations of the ongoing growth of various network effects.. and bitcoin is not exactly going to be locked into any particular matter, and even some of the old themes are going to be redone and even improved upon - or maybe even sometimes put out there as if they were original theories, and it does not completely matter, whether credit is completely given or not.. because the Lindy effect is likely playing out too in which the cornz are largely getting stronger.. repeated themes of new people coming in, and various battles, and even some folks realizing that they had previously been retarded because they "knew about bitcoin" for 10 years or longer, but then maybe ONLY start to "get it" .. and some folks are never going to get it or do enough research to figure out the difference between information and disinformation.

We cannot save everyone, but still some losers are going to have lightbulb moments and become allies and enlightened, and others are going to rage quit but then realize that they either have to unrage quit, secretly accumulate, or just outright apologize for their prior level of dumb.

Even those of us who have been in bitcoin likely continue to learn, and sometimes we help others out and other times we lock ourselves away, because we feel that "we don't got time for dat."... .and so the bitcoiners become more complex too.. and it used to be snot nosed 14 year olds, but then becomes respectable status quo or even branches of the powers that be that get involved in bitcoin, and financial institutions and probably governments getting reckt and rug pulled.. and the show goes on with BIGGER players, and hopefully any of us who are in bitcoin longer attempt to figure out and realize (and even follow through by putting into practice) that we are not going to lose too many coins along the way.

A decent number of us will likely end up dying with more coins than we should have and we might not have figured out exactly how to pass down our coins.. .. the real bitcoin, not the fake ones that are part of the ongoing manipulation effects that will not completely go away in our lifetimes, either..

Crypto Exchanges Must Share User Data With Russia, Prosecutor General Demands


Source: https://news.bitcoin.com/crypto-exchanges-must-share-user-data-with-russia-prosecutor-general-demands

From this news it seems to me that Russia is looking for someone who has a lot of bitcoins, though or I could be wrong. But it seems to me that Russia is trying to find out who has the most bitcoins.

It is nothing but a bad experience of some people only.

Funny thing is.. It might looks like Italian, but it's not even correct Italian.

Anyway, I don't even know it you were aware of this:
