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

I really didnt think that we were going to see the $400s again

Bitcoin doesn't care what you (or I) think.

I was shocked today that what you said is actually true.
It is an enlightening experience.

Price is lagging a bit

On its way back to 500

My guess is that this is mostly from big boys creating entrance points prior to ETFs.

Hey proudhon, are you currently a bear a bull or a proudhon?

It seems like the previous bubbles have desensitized traders and hodlers so much that the btc price has to smack us really long and hard in order for capitulation to occur. Such bad sentiment. wow.

Long term I'm bullish.  Short term, I haven't a clue what the coming weeks will look like.

Sad! 

You as a bear is such entertainment. I hope for another season starting in the future ;-)

Same here. I feel validated

Huge 462.9 hidden bid at Finex. Hundreds of coins bought so far.

Hundreds of coins dumped so far...

There will be big dumps along the way if bitcoin goes down to $440 and less, Winklevoss twins and Tim Draper could panic sell.

I would think that Draper and Winklevii aren't worried about their next meal or their retirement. No need to panic. They, along with GABI, are actually watching all this with some glee. Doesn't hurt any of them and might actually help.

Vuduchyld - Even though you are suggesting that neither Draper nor Winklevii are manipulating, you are also stating that they ARE profiting from whatever price lowering and/or manipulating that IS occurring.... In other words, you are implying support for the conspiracy theory which suggests that they have an insider's incentive to manipulate and to make EVEN more money.

ftfy   hope I did it right 

Hey JayJuanGee...this thread is moving so fast that I missed your post above.

Honestly, I don't know.  I was mostly just responding to the notion that Winklevii and Draper could panic sell.  I highly, highly doubt that would be the case.  

One thing I've noticed as I've aged is that I'm generally a better trader.  I'd like to attribute that to accumulated wisdom, but in fact, it's more likely just a function of the accumulation of more assets.  I know I absolutely do NOT care what the price is today, tomorrow, or next week.  I assess value and nothing the market tells me about PRICE influences my perception of VALUE.  I've bought more in the last few days than I expected to buy, I can tell you that.  In my opinion, the price-to-value proposition dictated it.  

In my younger days, or days with less security, I would unintentionally find myself too emotionally attached to PRICE.  I've certainly panic-sold stocks.  People like the Winklevii and Draper have literally NEVER wondered where their next meal was coming from.  I literally have...and I don't anymore.  And there is a difference in how I trade now.  And if I'm wrong?  Really doesn't matter.  Whatever happens, my toes are still tappin'.  

Do they have the power to manipulate price, as whales?  Maybe.  I'm almost certain that they could INFLUENCE it, at the very least.  Are they doing it?  I have no clue.

Security Firm Claims New Leads in Search for Missing Mt Gox Bitcoin

To me it seems an attempt to prevent an independent police investigation.  Like the Sunlot proposal.

Shorting LTC @4,3 was a genius idea

[Bitcoin_is_here_to_stay]

How disappointing. Turns out the constant "cheap coins" yellers have no money after all with which to buy a bounce.

+1. I have always suspected they were mostly people already 100% invested in btc. Looks like this, or they chickened out now .

Of course it was. Thanks for the coins, Newbie.

More than doubled my stash this summer thanks to panic sellers.

Thanks for the good news..    Posts like this is why I find this thread to be useful, for more long term then short term speculation of Bitcoin most of the time.  Even if the price goes lower I'm viewing it as a good time to stack some coin in the short term.  Now I just have to figure out how low it will go and how much I can buy.  Here's hoping for no devastating news.

400s again? I thought we were done with them for sure.
