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

Bullmarket off 

 

Yes. In case you didn't notice, it's been off for 11 months now.

Not if you just woke from a 13 month coma.

I am so tired of the pissing contest over side chains. Where is the creativity and innovation? There is enough politicking in the real world, we don't need ego tantrums in academic discussions.

XRP recovers much faster than BTC. Interesting.

...we don't need ego tantrums...

But that's the defining quality of Bitcoin!

bitcoin's first mover's disadvantage:

Its forum will forever have to deal with second movers publicizing themselves.

Except there is no mining. Ripple Labs recognized that cryptos behave like stocks and built a protocol that embraces this. Interesting.

Ripple is hardly a 2nd mover to bitcoin, because it's a completely different system.
Ripple is centralised and belongs to a single company, it's not free as in freedom, like bitcoin, but more like amazon bonus dollars or similar pointless additions.
In short: if someone tries to tell you that ripple could be anything like bitcoin he's simply trying to scam you (or he's an idiot who doesn't understand a thing about bitcoin).
Also, im tired of reading ripple spam on this bitcoin-forum, post your private-company-money scams elsewhere please.

...and kept 45% for themselves.

(people know there is no mining with Ripple because it's a centralized scam)

[ShroomsKit]

Can we stop discussing Ripple here?

[Deadstock]

And i thought this was the "Bitcoin price moment tracking & discussion" not RIPPLE

[spooderman]

Yes, I agree with shroomsy for once

Which would be scammy if there were a mining mechanism. However, it is not unusual for a company to hold a large share of its own stock.

One thing is for certain though, the bids are deeper than when we were here a couple of months ago which suggests a more positive perception from most people in regards to the market. Now, we clearly saw it was OKcoin and China that led the price spike last week and now it has fizzled to where we might have expected to be if we had had steady growth from the "bottom". China is now being bearish with this Huobi news and it wouldn't surprise me to see the western exchanges take the lead which theoretically could lead to a much more sustainable rise. OKcoin trading is a joke with no fees and 20X leverage its just a bunch of gamblers trying to out luck each other and should not be somewhere the market looks towards to dictate a market price.
