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

[rpietila]

If you truly are holding in the neighborhood of 10k coins, it seems prudent for you to utilize some of your stash towards the expansion of the BTC infrastructure. 

Purchasing the castle and initial investments ate about BTC3,000 of my stash so I am done for now. Next time I'll sell at $3k.

If you want to help me with ideas, how to integrate hotel and bitcoin as much as possible, I have a thread for it.

The Reality:

The second picture looks fake, too.  A little reality would be nice. 

I wondered about the roof: too "clean" and the tiles too equal and regular But there is a winter 2005 picture in that Estonian Manors site apparently with that same roof and the right-side windows in the same state.  Plastic roof tiles perhaps?

and you always tend to lick his balls, dont you have a husband for that ?

So classy. Internet...you never disappoint.

I express my opinion the way I like, yes I just said the way I like, if that Austrian creature which didn't decide to be a woman or a man won EuroVision then hell I will express my fucking opinion loud and if you don't like my opinion it is ok, but if you don't like the way how I express my opinion then you go fuck your self, it is as simple as that.

You mean, it is only OK with you if we disagree with your opinion above by taking it literally?

First thing you would do in renovating a delapidated building would be to put a decent roof on it I would think. Especially in non-US places where the walls are built of something designed to last.

To my eye, the hotel looks pretty good externally. Most of that could likely be fixed up with a good coat of paint and some reglazing. Internally is a different matter, however.

Seen those pics many times in this thread now so let me guess.

The thing is partly restored. You can see in this pic on top left there is a part that looks brand new and already inhabitable. Rpietila bought the manor and the plans for (unfinished) restoration from the previous investors. The pic he shared is a 3D model of how the place is supposed to look when fully restored, which was then superimposed on a real pic. Also notice that the roof on the outermost left wing needs to be built from scratch in order to match rpietila's pic.

According to Dane Cook, he also needs to have:
1.  A secret lab behind a moveable bookshelf, with Bunsen burners and schematics
2.  Paintings with holes where the eyes should be (to spy on guests)
3.  Trap doors that he can operate at will
4.  A moat

Hey Risto, those buildings just next door, are they outhouses? Neighbours?

While it's still a bit trashed, how about a big party in there before the next bubble?

Is this Indexventures news the big announcement bitpay trailed at the weekend?

http://indexventures.com/news-room/blog/payment-without-borders-why-we%E2%80%99re-backing-bitpay


a $30mm investment round by the looks of it?

Sell the news !
While all news and publicity is good, this particular piece isnt too bullish as its just more money invested in a service thats in the business of converting BTC to Fiat.

which requires btc.

think it through, people. sheesh.

This was discussed some months back here - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=455141.msg6033147#msg6033147 - and the suggestion was it is NOT good news for BTC; in precis:

Buffet is correct, Bitcoin is just a facade for fiat. Bitpay and Peter Thiel have just put that future in concrete.

It was interesting after AnonyMint's lengthy and detailed rebuttal of why Bitpay is such great news for BTC that responses there came...none.

Or should I say...sheesh

Thanks for the link to that thread.   I have NOT read very many of AnonyMint's posts, yet he seems to have quite a few decent ideas regarding the direction of bitcoin prices.  Ultimately, it seems that he is suggesting that the growth curve for bitcoin is gradually declining and NOT linear nor exponential, including the taking into account various investments into BTC infrastructure.   

I do NOT purport to understand much advance math, and I remain somewhat disinclined to believe that economics and markets which incorporate human behavior and politics are going to boil down to strict mathematical outcomes - even though historically, we can analyze the outcomes in terms of mathematical formulations.

For example, maybe we could see that historically bitcoin prices had periods of 100x average annual growth and 10x average annual growth and 2x annual growth (which growth rates may NOT be measured in exact yearly increments) and growth rates jump and spurt within these various periods to have an overall growth rate of 10x.. yet having a past average of 10x would NOT mean that we can rely upon 10x into the future.... even though 10X is possible, it seems unlikely to continue for very long into the future b/c it seems that much luck and alignment of stars would need to take place in order to sustain such a rate. 

Possibly, projecting future BTC prices with 1.5X average annual growth rate expectations would be more realistic, and if the growth rate turns out to be higher than 50% per year, then the higher outcome(s) would be icing on the cake for investors.  Accordingly, a 1.5X growth rate may look like this:

2014 = $400

2015 = $600

2016 = $900

2017 = $1,350

2018 = $1,975

2019 = $2,962.5

2020 = $4,443.75

Even though, this BTC price projection of 1.5X is NOT "to da moon,"  it would be a decent ROI, and would likely out perform a variety of other investments.  I would be thrilled with such an outcome.  Any thoughts?

I just realised I live 3000 km south from that place. I would sugest that he sells that mansion and buys something in Spain, Greece, Croatia someplace warm with lot of islands and an actual summer.

Jeez, so boring... Is it time to put all my bitcoins in a paper wallet and put it away with the hula-hoop and deely-boppers?

In the meanwhile "boring slow upwards" has turned into "boring slow downwards"
