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

[OgNasty]

Geez, Do all newbies have to go through this shit?   Quite a nice welcome!!! 

Pretty much.  Not just newbies either.  I've been involved in 20,000 BTC worth of trades here and sold goods in dozens of different countries and I still get the 3rd degree from every buyer who orders an oz of silver from me.  Welcome to bitcointalk.  It only gets better...  /sarcasm

Off topic radio aside, how about this price action today?  The market now expecting a rate cut in the near future.  Hopefully we see a similar (or much larger) candle when MSTR gets included in the S&P500 index.  The next couple of weeks could be fun.

Mostly.
And as i told you before: because of reasons. Real reasons.
"shit" is only an opinion, too.

EDIT: The thing is, we're mostly very own in our ways. Maybe you fit in somehow, some day, maybe soon, mabye later, maybe never.
That's the way i see it. Like it or leave it. You can expect brutal honesty from these OG's and i, at least, value that a lot.

Enough of the glory. To each its own.
Life only throws back at you what you have thrown at it.

I see it as a strong sign that BTC didn't fall below $110k, and that candles like today's don't get crippled by cascading shorts.
Still early, imho, and it always was different, so it must be different this time too.

[blomen]

what i see? bitcoin climbing the stairs.

the price increases by approximately 10-12% with each step it climbs. perhaps this bull market will be different from the others in this regard. we know that price volatility has decreased and market cap has increased. therefore, we may need to be prepared to change our definition of a “bull market.”

if the price continues to climb by two more steps, we could see an ath between 150-155k.

Yeah I did about 200,000 in sales here and a million on eBay still get the third degree.

People are paranoid.

Of course your investment portion is going to be doing fine.  I doubt that you are really benefiting as much as you have convinced yourself into believing with the trading portion, and you likely could reduce that trading portion to much smaller numbers, perhaps less than 10% of the size of your bitcoin investment stash, or maybe you could go a bit higher with the percent that you allow for fucking around.. but not 50%.. that is too much... since it seems to be a likely losing proposition the way you seem to be currently doing it and just assuming that you are benefiting from it...even though you seem to be fantasizing otherwise with your likely sales through the years that would have had been way better off to just let them ride in bitcoin (and to compound in value.. .) .

Well said, and to be honest I can't disagree but fully agree with whatever you said in the post. Although, I've been taking some profits here and there from trading but surely they reward from accumulating Bitcoin and holding it for years is always going to win no matter if I make whatever from trading. DCA+DIP buying is safe as compared to trading but to be honest I've done DCA with the trading part as well when my trades went negative, however to be honest, Bitcoin always recovers and that's the best thing about it.

Many of us were here when Bitcoin was in its $20k's and I remember when it went to $40k some people got surprised while some people had firm beliefs that it could do much better in years than that $40k or $50k whatsoever. And, the later ones were perfectly right because the ones who bought the crazy dip of previous bear run which took Bitcoin's price all the way down to $16k's were the people who really had saved money for that DIP. I believe most of people who are into investing had started their accumulation when Bitcoin went to $28k or below that, and those type of dips will not come now unless someone is just dreaming.

I'm pretty sure the market will be bearish after a few months and then there's chance that Bitcoin might go down again but not to the levels of $20k's or not even to $50k's again but possibly there's chance that it might dip back to $70k's and that's going to be the best place to buy the dips again and accumulate more than what one can at the current market value of Bitcoin when it's over $115k. I know there's much possibility that Bitcoin might not go below $100k's again even in the worst phase of the bear market but again the ones who're into investing know the power of patience and they really wait for the right moment and right opportunity. I really want to see Bitcoin at $200k in this cycle and if that happens then I'll be very happy but even then I won't be selling that 50% which I've accumulated with the help of DCA+DIP buying. In fact I won't be selling those for at least 10 to 20 years depending on my patience or value of Bitcoin after 10 years.

Let's say if in 10 years Bitcoin reaches $5M per coin then surely I'll sell 20-30% of my stash, and by then I might not need to do any type of DCA or dip buying but as long as Bitcoin is under $1M there's always going to be opportunity of buying the dips. I'm not talking about small dips but the major dips, I don't really give much attention to small dips as market can recover from those dips within days to weeks but mostly I wait for major dips that take place once in a week rarely, sometimes once in a month, and most probably once in 2-4 months, and that approach is a working approach. I know there's no alternative of what you've said, if I had followed your advice and strategy the way you shared here then that might have given me more accumulation and profits, but I hope in future or from now on I will think about going for DCA+DIP buying for long term holding and let that 50% for trading as those are enough for my trading needs and going 100% into investing from now own can be much helpful for me.

Yeah, but would Philip hesitate to meet you in person, OOM?  

one of the benefits of making a few bucks but not millions is I do not worry much about 5 dollar wrench attacks.

the coin simply does not exist.

and out of memory is a star gazer which I have always liked doing.

We're already at $117k, not bad. This article shows us the amount BTCcould reach by the end of the year:

US retirement plans could fuel Bitcoin rally to $200K despite downturn: Finance Redefined

Despite this week’s market downturn, some analysts predict that the inclusion of digital assets in US 401(k) retirement plans may unlock billions of dollars in new inflows by the fall, potentially driving Bitcoin to record highs.

This “bullish” development may be “bigger than the US Bitcoin ETF approval itself,” signaling another $122 billion worth of new capital while assuming a modest 1% portfolio allocation, Dragosch told Cointelegraph during the Chain Reaction daily X spaces show on Monday, throwing in a price prediction for good measure:

“The official prediction remains $200,000 by the end of the year.”
“If you look at 401(K) and defined-contribution retirement plans in the US, they are huge,” said Dragosch, adding that 1% was a “relatively conservative” allocation estimate for the $12.2 trillion industry.

It's not a bad idea to have BTCbefore reaching a very advanced age to live much more peacefully, Let's remember that old age lasts longer than any other stage of life.

Haha you’ve been sleeping on Buddy for the past 2 weeks... Richy_T mentioned it was the reason it’s been double posting earlier

.. the CPU fan died on that so I reenabled CB on the original server and when the new fan came in and I got *that* fixed and turned back on, I forgot to disable CB on one or the other.

Now that explains better..

The ATH thing is because someone mentioned it and that started it rattling around in my head again. It was time for a bit of a refurb anyway and it still needs some more, to be honest.

Yeah the ATH looks cool in the mid
Bull and Bear Power could be cool on it aswell ..

Pics of my Ham stuff were indeed mine and not fake. Do you want to see my Ham license without my name/address or callsign?  

Not really. Just show us your gear, slightly rearranged, with a handwritten sheet of paper reading "WO BTCETFInvestor".

Geez, Do all newbies have to go through this shit?

You're lucky we didn't put you through the PSC (Physical Shit Cascade), a device that sprays organic material on candidate members of the WO going through a glass tunnel while a few webcams record the scene from different viewpoints.
