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

[luckygenough56]

Lots of time to gather trains and rockets pics. It's 50% of the job. Market makers do the rest.

Someone at Finex just shit the bed.

That would be pretty funny if true. The dump certainly had the hallmarks of a total n00b. Somebody should check if there's been a large sum of old, unspent coins that moved recently.

reminds me of the tale of  that dude that chucked out his old HD then discovered
the bitcoin he had on it was worth millions. except this lucky bastard didnt lose em.
im thinkin if this is true we may well read about it in the papers unless he's smart and keeps
his mouth shut. im sure mr tax man would be very interested indeed.

He probably has no clue that the banking system will collapse very soon and all his money will be somehow worthless in time... currency wars are about to hit the "sh!t fan".

well, when the system collapse, you always want to ...




or ... buy a bunker, too.

how do you get a desktop drive into a laptop? how does an unforked wallet show up? if he didn't know what he was doing how did he mine 60 blocks?

That rounded top on bitstamp looks really weird

What's so weird or surprising about it? 

All this BTC trading activity of the past couple of days is taking place with very small volume (absent the 3k coin dump on Bitfinex), so in that regard, the trading pattern can easily take almost any kind of form within several percentage price fluctuation at a very low cost.  In other words, low trading volume facilitates an environment for relatively easy pushing of the price in nearly any direction that is wanted at very little cost... that ease of manipulation does not necessarily mean that manipulation is actually taking place, but only that in current market conditions, manipulation is quite easy to pull off through the use of very few coins... and accordingly, can create almost any kind of pattern/image, like a Rorschach test.

how do you get a desktop drive into a laptop?

With lubrication.

Alternatively, I guess it could've been a 2.5" HDD or an SSD.

I would think if he's smart he'd declare it in his tax return, otherwise he's going to incur some difficulty in actually trying to spend that money, if indeed the deposit of a million pounds into his bank account doesn't automatically flag it to HMRC (it'll certainly get flagged under AML).

Umm.... yeah.

1. Doesn't supposedly remember that he mined BTC way back when?  Check.
2. Says he successfully put a 5-year old desktop hard drive into a brand new laptop (which is likely impossible)? Check.
3. Has a "range" of BTC (he says "between" 3k to 5k) instead of divulging the *exact* number? Check.
4. Doesn't bother to divulge any public key address(es) to verify his story? Check.
5. Sounds like total made up BS? Check.

Is that from one of those starcraft cinematics??
