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

[JimboToronto]

Btc-e above finex... yep bottom is near  

btc-e is dying a slow death.

ltc too. sorry.

LTC has been fairing better than BTC recently.  LTC will do what it always does, and rise against BTC when the bull market is fully established.

LTC wont survive the next wave of fancy-bitcoin2.0-shitcoins.

Wasn't the main purpose of LTC to extend the life of GPU miners after the advent of SHA256 FPGAs and ASICs?

Scrypt ASICs kinda killed that didn't they? What does LTC have to offer now?

Your "fancy-bitcoin2.0-shitcoins" like Ethereum or Darkcoin not only offer add functionality such as programmable contracts or anonymity, but also base their cryptography on multiple algorithms, making them feasible to mine with CPUs and GPUs, returning mining to being a cottage industry and removing the advantage of large ASIC farms.

The only hard fork that I could support for Bitcoin would be to implement multi-algorithm cryptography.

i have to admit the price movement really depressed me and im now skeptical about the chances to reach beyond ATH at the end of this year...

900 seem more probable it seems

No no no - the original main purpose of Litecoin was to extend the life of CPU miners - to protect them from the barbarian hordes of GPU miners.

this is exactly what i mean... serious time and effort is being put into producing "next gen" shitcoins these days... a quick fork with a few tweets won't stand a chance with what's coming next.

Ethereum the future of shitcoins.

And i suppose all those scrypt miners will just dump their scrypt asics?

1666 dumped on stamp just now

most will keep that as a momento, then years later cleaning out the garage, there wives will FORCE them to throw it out, it will cause a big fight, it will get ugly, she will leave and he will throw out the stupid machine and beg for her to come back.

They are learning "Cheap Coins!" I.e., they are not learning.

Kinda like my beloved BFL space heater?  

That's the great thing about being single. No begging to come back.

The older you get, the dicier it gets though. After a certain age you can't hit on women young enough to be your daughters or you're a dirty old man. You have to let them hit on you. Then you're a cool old guy.

Shorts are down to 9k and we're still going down...not good

whale slaying season !!! hahha 

[riiiiising]

Personally, I'm glad to see this correction. It was badly needed to shake out the weak hands, and I'm confident that we'll be going up from here.

Sell in May and go away. This is basic advice every investor knows. They will come back in November, as usual.

Cheap coins on sale now. Mr Bearwhale has made a generous donation.

I'm learning to smell fear. Makes me want to buy.
