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

Don't mind me. I just sit here, HODL Bitcorn, wear this hat, doing my part to stay strong until the next orbital cycle.

The pink suits you.  Your avatar is much less intimidating that way.  Almost alluring...  Almost.

 By design, everybody's hat suits them.

Is that you, Vee?

Oh my please no. I prefer +20c. It's fucking freezing here.

That must be why you're back. Sailing season over?

 I'm at work for another 4 hours but if I have any beer at home, you will have a hat later tonight.  Colour preference?

Any color you like as long as it's Sauron.   

Thank you, sir.

Applying for a xhomerx10 original :

 Long day at work today... nice to do something to take my mind off it when I got home!
Hope it fits

Avatar-sized

Looks supersweet. Love the background !

Unfortunately it seems like this new account of mine is too nooby for pictures, so I guess I'll have to be less of a lurker.

probably for a hat as cool as this one ..... would gain some merit....  

indeed its a very awesome creation, gonna collect it in my NEXT HAT update

pity your old account is gone (how did you lose it?)

It got hacked by some scammer.  There were a whole bunch of accounts hacked around the same time then.  I didn't use a very strong password as I felt a forum wasn't a particularly critical website, but still sucked.

Did you even attempt to convince theymos or other admins to recover your account?  I agree with you and recall that there were quite a few accounts that were hacked during various periods, and it seems that  that mine, Adam's and quite a few others were hacked in late 2016.  Was yours hacked in 2017? 

I think that there were a large number of usernames and passwords that were stolen (a kind of data breach, if I recall? but it may have also been related to the Yahoo data breach or another one that caused access to info that was also used on the forum?)

I got mine back within about two weeks, and various kinds of attempting to prove my account, which were a bit lame, but it seems that I provided a sufficient amount of info to recover my account.

My second screw up was when I got locked out of my account from a screwy way of trying to recover my password.. I think that was November or December 2016, and I was unable to use my account for over a month.. with my continuous petitioning, but finally admin gave me back my account.

Well there we have it folks.  JJG succeeded where countless have failed.

All it takes to recover a hacked account is to wear Theymos down with 675 emails totaling 2.3 million words and he will recover your account just to be rid of you.

Speaking of hats(seems to be to the topic of this thread now) and correct me if I'm wrong, but I do believe
Yogi and myself are the only WO'ers actually wearing our hats....

Bitfinex premium down to $90.  Who wants to bet that once the spread between BFX and Bitstamp disappears, BTC starts to move again. 

I tend to agree with you on the theory that the premium could tend towards zero, and then perhaps later create another gap, but there really remains little reason for premiums to continue... even though such premiums could continue to exist for many more months.

Another ongoing dynamic seems to be the need to purge froth the alt coin space, with ethereum and bcash being amongst the biggest candidates of such need for purging.

If you look at the one year charts (on bitstamp), you will see that both ETH and Bcash are pushing their year long low numbers for that period, Bcash has touched upon such year long low numbers (which is $407.46), even today, yet ethereum, with its current floating in the $190 arena, still has about 14% further fall before it is touching on its year long low number (which is $167.25).

Surely, none of us can be sure if Bitcoin is going to continue to hold up its value, in all of this mess, but with bitcoin prices currently a bit above $6,200, there still remains about a 12% cushion before it would reach it's $5,555 yearly low. 

Ethereum charts do seem a bit more pessimistic since the low of $167.25 was reached in the past 3 months with Ethereum, yet Bitcoin had its $5555 low about a year ago, and in the past 6 months, bitcoin's low was $5,774.72 - while higher bitcoin price support seems to have been holding a bit better, at least in bitcoin as compared with ethereum.. and so it remains a question of the accuracy of a thesis of whether some of the major alt coins (aka shitcoins) continue to experience additional purging of froth (which also may drag on bitcoin's price - at least decrease bitcoin's likelihood for significant upwards).

In other words, even boring price movements can be interesting to watch, even while a lot of us BTC hodlers would prefer UP, we might be unable to extract the eyes of our selfies from watching the charts, perhaps?

Vitalik clapping again

all his tweets r lol

[JayJuanGee]

These categories are fine; however, the concepts are not exactly binary, so rating them as yes or no does not do justice to each concept.

Who kidnapped JJG and do you intend on giving him back?

Wat?

Wat?

Wat?


Did I say something inconsistent with my selfie?

 You are one of the cool kids; I'm just having trouble finding a larger version of your avatar to work with.

Regarding Brexit I voted LEAVE! It was for a couple of reasons really.

1.) My business won’t pay over inflated customs charges to import our stuff from China.
2.) I’m fed up of living in a cuckold country that allows mass immigration.

I dont understand how you hope that 3% GDP country (UK) will be able to negotiate better tariffs from a 20% GDP county (EU).

Also if UK economy will want to at least slightly keep with the rest of the world, you will have to seriously start making babies or continue with immigration policy that UK had in last 50 years. I believe it was one the ones those that attracted a lot if not the most immigrants.  The rest of EU did way less.



About tariffs. You still have CEFTA https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_European_Free_Trade_Agreement   Not that much countries left there but if you unite you might get better deals with China and also everyone else on the world. India, Indonesia. USA. Brazil, Russia. Oh and dont forget African countries.
