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

[jl2012]

Today, I was able to confirm both the good luck and the superstition with 777

 I was in my local Chinese town to-go restaurant, and I told the gentleman behind the counter that i wanted 6 barbecued chicken wings and 10 soy chicken feet.  He was NOT sure about what I said and he asked the lady next to him to translate into chinese.  

When he weighed up the chicken wings, I saw the price came to $7.xx, and I had not really noticed the details of the price, I was just thinking, "shit more than $7.xx for 6 chicken wings."  Don't get me wrong, they were big-ass chicken wings, but still I was thinking about the price, and as the guy was acknowledging the price, he was getting really excited about how lucky I was and kept pointing at the wings and the box and going "oh, oh, oh..."  

I then glanced back at the price on the scale, and it was $7.77, and I just smiled and nodded in agreement with the guy, even though I was thinking that it was NOT such a big deal.  Then as he weighed my 10 soy chicken feet, he wrote down the price and threw in two extra soy chicken feet.. and he kind of winked at me.  Then I thought, "oh, there is something to the luck of $7.77 b/c I just scored two extra soy chicken feet out of the deal."    

Anyhow, rumor about lucky 7s is true in the Chinese community and confirmed  by experience of two extra soy chicken feet.


Edit:  BTW... I was thinking that since 6 chicken wings was $7.77, then 5 chicken wings would have been $6.66 and 7 chicken wings would have been $8.88.. just gotta get lucky, or unlucky with the exact weight of each chicken wing.

4 and 7, particularly 4, is more considered as bad rather than good in Chinese culture. "4" sounds like "die", and "7" is also related to death.

Commemorative banknote with 4 or 7 in the serial number will carry a lesser premium.

Just search "無47" (No 4 and 7) ( https://www.google.com.hk/search?q=%E7%84%A147 ) and you will find lots of ads of commemorative banknote trading

In other words, the guy in the restaurant did NOT know his proper training in superstitions...   He probably had gone to Vegas too frequently... and figured 7s were lucky... NOT realizing that he is chinese.

I'm thinking about selling some Bitcoin, and trying to resist.

I'm not happy about Newegg accepting BTC. Too tempting.

So by the Chinese numerology / homophone reasoning, for us the numeral 1 should make us think of victory, 6 some happy fun time, and possibly 8 is positive if you're hungry.

Wall games at Huobi. Saw ~1200 in bids pulled near 3600.... some were replaced, only half. And now a 250+ ask wall near the spread. In recent days, that would have been immediately bought. Not today....

the other side of the sword...BTC as money means that you want to spend BTC more as more places take it.....hoarding is easy
when NO ONE takes the coin.and say last jan 2013 it was at $12 usd a coin

now with coin around $600 usd and all them goodies.....

(Ack! its a trap..the only solution is to retreat into bitcointalk mode no life at all posting on here ...embrace the boredom.......heaven help you
if Betty Bang Bang  with the bouncing double D's finds out about your nerdy wealth ...you will lose all your nerdy wealth Ack!)
