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

Momentum building.. we are going up for a bit

[Cassius]

I am currently pessimistic about the chances of the price ever getting much higher than now

I bet you 1 bitcoin that some time during the lifespan of bitcoin the price will rise above the $580 range.  If this does not happen in the next 5 years, I give you a bitcoin.  Sound fair?

Oh and a sell off before July? This consolidation has bear trap written all over it.

For a variety of reasons, including how you have structured this bet, NO ONE with any brain would take this bet... maybe if you changed the reward to dollars, then possibly, who would want a bitcoin that may have little value in 5 years.

Also, maybe change the amount to $700 or some other more reasonable and higher amount.. $580 is the current floating price, as you know.... within 5 years, many would even bet $1000 or more... as a sure thing in their thinking.

I CAN'T TAKE THIS ANY MORE!! BETWEEN THE LINES, MAN. READ BETWEEN THE LINES. IS IT SO HARD?

Something is apparently obvious, yet there is a need to read between the lines?  Seems like you are having a meltdown, Cassius, about something trivial, no?

Well, I'm pretty sure I nearly got ignored by chalkbot, but my monkey is bearish on almost all timescales now.

does your monkey think its a good time to sell some xmr? its been flying high this week.

monkey doesn't know about xmr.  it's off-topic here anyhow.  check https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=624223 for xmr commentary.
amazingly xmr has been 80% of the volume on plx.  more than 4x all other alts combined.

huobi looks bouncy. up from here?

Yep, looks bouncy to me as well. Hourly bullish RSI divergence, lower low on falling volume, stochastics are very oversold. We should see some up now.

ONE of my obstacles in spending is the potential accounting problem to have to keep track... since it is supposed to be treated as property.

In a country where the average citizen commits 3 felonies a day, trying to follow the inconsistent and often ludicrous or even criminal guidance of the IRS is hopeless.  Just act reasonably, and it is exceedingly unlikely that an assessor will assess you unreasonably, that a prosecutor will prosecute you unreasonably, that a judge will adjudicate against you unreasonably, and that a jury of your peers will tolerate the whole abuse of process.  (I'm pretty sure a lawyer would be apoplectic on my counsel.  But I wouldn't mind terribly.)

Frankly, civil obedience is the worst problem facing the U.S. today.

And they felt it was necessary to write

The USMS does not make any representations or warranties regarding Bitcoin.

So you will not get a refund if you buy those bitcoins and they turn out to be counterfeited, or half of their bits fall off after the first transaction.  

I was drinking coffee when i read this. Jorge you owe me a keyboard.

NOT so obvious to me, whatever it is to which you are referring.

Is there toilet paper stuck to my shoe?  OMG... Why don't you just say it, rather than getting annoyed merely b/c you see something that someone else does NOT.  Each of us have our differing perspectives and senses, but the mere fact that someone sees something different than someone else does NOT make one more or less intelligent than another.... well, you may consider the matter differently, at least it seems that you do.

YEAH.... a visual helps.....  


EDIT:  And by the way, those look like rainbow trout to me, but what the fuck do I know about fish?

EDIT 2:  Woops, and you got me with the clarification about the kind of fish in your below response.

I know, I know...they're not halibut.  They're trout.  But close enough right?

[aminorex]

Why don't you just say it, rather than getting annoyed merely b/c you see something that someone else does NOT. 

The bandwidth of the subtext channel is variable, but can be several orders of magnitude larger than the text channel.  You can't stuff 50 pounds of crap in a 10 pound sack.

I find it delightfully amusing when extremely literal people collide with extremely aromatic people.

Unless, you are going to go out there and stage the performance yourself or hire an actor, it may be best to find the most near approximation.  

I like pictures anyhow... especially when they add to the message - even though I think that is supposed to represent me in the pic (by the way that is NOT me), getting my face smacked by a halibut that is NOT a halibut.

Yes.

Also...7 day trend makes me think weekend dip will be mediocre, then a minor push back up to about $615 by Saturday around 10 PM Eastern Standard Time.  Usually what happens is: I go to bed, price shoots up, I wake up and kick myself for not having a bot to buy low and sell high...

Alright, but this is a one-time thing, ok? After this, no more.
Jorge has made a reputation by proudly not owning bitcoin. So let's say he ignores the maths and enters the bet, and wow, he wins! Clever Jorge. Except he's just sold his principles for < $580, because now he owns a bitcoin, and suddenly all those months of leaving posts full of selective evidence and ignoring good answers were for nothing.
It was never supposed to be a real bet. Obviously, getting-slapped-around-the-face-with-the-fish-of-your-choice obviously. It was just a joke in the form of Socratic irony because naturally Jorge is never going to take it for those reasons.
I'm not sure why you think I'm annoyed. I suppose it might be my unnecessary over-use of capital letters.
And yes, you do have toilet paper stuck to your shoe.

Calling Dr. Cassius!  Dr. Cassius, does the subjects cognitive apprehension of the concept of external representation of self constitute evidence of some vestigial functioning mirror neuron activity, or is this merely a Skinner-box effect?

It seems much more healthy to be amused by internet posts rather than to get worked up about them.... but to each his/her/its own.    I suppose a bot would NOT get upset, so getting upset is a sign that the poster may be human-like.

Dr Aminorex. I stooped and my pregenual anterior cingulate cortex informs me that I should not have done. (It always was an overactive little illegitimate child.)
There is no need for you to do the same.
