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

[pönde]

The really amazing part of the Petro is that for the first time an entire nation will learn crypto oriented currency. Boom or bust, this is likely to be a noteworthy turning point in financial history.  

Since the Petro is a centralized government coin, it could be printed out of thin air like fiat, so I would not really hold much of them as a storage of wealth.

But it is interesting the way, that I could use it, just like Bitcoin, to purchase some stuff from Venezuela. And the banks can do nothing about it.

Don’t touch the Petro unless you are willing to risk being accused of violating US sanctions

Well that just means that Petro has some functionality.

What would happen if White House applied the same rules for Bticoin?

"Blockchain as the technology of the future" though? That is almost right, but not quite. I think it's more like "bitcoin as the money of the future".

Yuh his whole thesis is very curate's egg, but notbad for an older bloke.

Peter Robinson: I just want to make sure I heard this right. You just called Larry Page and Sergey Brin, these geniuses who in 20 years have gone from zero to a company with a market cap of 870 billion at market close yesterday. You just called them delusional. I heard that right?
George Gilder: Yep. There are a lot of delusional, brilliant Marxists in the world.

Ok. It's official.

I'm drying myself off for a bit.

With any luck, I shed 5 lbs of bloat in the next 7 days.

... and more importantly, Bitcorn heads towards $7k USD.

Sheeeit 

If we kick off another epic bull run within the next week, you won't be able to drink for a long time though.

I think we can quite safely predict that the Petro will be a total bust, and if anything will be negative for some peoples view of cryptocurrencies.  I doubt it will have a lot of impact in the larger scheme of things though.

Personally, I believe that a person can be into bitcoin for what they believe the technology to be without really understanding a lot of the details, and largely relying upon the representations of folks who they believe to be credible and more technologically astute than themself. 

Of course, there is some necessity to have some skills in terms of attempting to suss out bullshit, and attempting to learn from experiences and to recognize contradictory information.

By the way, there is a certain degree of relativism in terms of understanding technology, and there are some folks who seem to be very technologically advanced, relatively speaking, but will exude a certain level of modesty in their discussion and even assert that there some parts of the technology that they do not understand, in spite of their relative high level of technical expertise.

Damn, I'm farther off every month!

I never click/tap Twitter links. Far too much hassle and my device wasting time to show a merely 140 character message. And not even counting going back to this thread.

It is a pain, I have to get redirected to the non Js version as well.

Hey mindrust, no need for name calling. Some of us are not young anymore.  We no longer trust our memory like we used too.

LOL, unfortunately this is true.

Is this a bad thing?

With all the talk around Bitcoin infrastructure, we decided to take a look and map the companies/projects/protocols being built on/with Bitcoin.

Thanks jojo! I have been lurking of late, but didn't really feel the need to chime in.  No clue where the price is gonna go either.

Do people like these sentiment updates or are they dumb?

I like them.  Perhaps make them a tad bit smaller might be more comfortable for folks who might be reading the thread on a mobile device.  Something like width=300, like I did above, might be more user-friendly?

Edit:
 I that abvoe, v8 suggested making smaller (but he also said that the information was not useful).  I also see that you said that resizing is not easy for you to do.. hm?  Personally, I think that even if you cannot resize them to be smaller, the information is still helpful, and I appreciate your going through the fairly regular posting effort - even if it is not hourly, like our once upon a time buddy, "chart."

So by the bitfinexed theory, some significant price movement is to be expected.
