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

[Fatman3001]

I suffered a pretty bad cold the last 2-3 days.

Not sure if bitcoin price follows my health or the other way around.

I'm feeling a bit better today. Looking forward to tomorrow.

Good enough for me.

TO DA MOON!!!

If you had all your btc in stamp you're really gonna have to scrape the barrel for sympathy around here. I'm pretty sure there's none left for people doing the very thing bitcoin stops you from having to do.

That said I don't think stamp lost anything, and if anything has been stolen I'm sure they'll replace it.

Some TA expert claimed the moon affected bitcoin traders and the price, which I thought was bullshit. I noticed it was a full moon last night. Bitcoin crashed to a new low and Bitstamp got hacked! It's just a coincidence, right?

Whatever happens, make sure you don't get Ebola.

Superstition is very real. Especially now that chinese traders are such a big part of the Bitcoin economy. It is not that individual traders are superstitious, nor really that everyone thinks that everyone else is superstitious. But a lot of traders, especially in China, believes that other traders believes that most of the other traders are superstitious. It turns into a self-fulfilling prophecy. So keeping up with superstitions can pay off sometimes.

Well, you saw what happened. The second someone from a western country had got it, it turned out that they had vaccines and cures up the wazoo. So, make sure you're not black in Africa when you get Ebola. Otherwise you'll be fine.

Is this true ?

"ITSTAMP SERVICE TEMPORARILY SUSPENDED We have reason to believe that one of Bitstamp’s operational wallets was compromised on January 4th, 2015. As a security precaution against compromises Bitstamp only maintains a small fraction of customer bitcoins in online systems. Bitstamp maintains more than....."

18k bitcoins incoming to this address today

Presumably not Stamp? Or we're in for a world of pain.

And Bitstamp has a booth at CES 

Wow, that made me exited for CES, who would have thought.
I can't wait for the Drama.

I saw it on their webpage so if it's not true then they are REALLY in a heap of shit.

If this is a hack of 18k BTC, bitstamp is in a huge trouble....
I suggest those in bitstamp to spend their BTC and get out of there ASAP.

Also, this can be an insider hack, like sending those customer's coins to an address and announce it as hacked and say sorry!!!
In today's world, this is very possible....

Let's not get ahead of ourselves. Gox smelled fishy for almost a year before they burst. It would take people months to get fiat out of the exchange and they kept blaming regulatory obstacles that none of the other exchanges had heard of. This with Bitstamp looks like a precautionary measure to ensure that there will be no more Goxing.

[Fatman3001]

Need to say... I'm impresed there was no panic on other exchanges (yet) 

If this means Bitstamp customers can't dump their coins then the market can get some time to stabilize before stamp is back. It might even rise. Unless the FUDsters get ahead with their message of course.

Yes I agree. I am also pleased about the way Stamp is handling the situation.
