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

Did you buy 1 bitcoin yet? That would make for some excitement

No.

Jorge, I'd like to send you a 100mBTC tip for your work compiling the Chinese Slumber method posts.  

It is really easy to get a blockchain.info wallet.  If you are willing to accept the tip, just post a pic to this thread that shows the blockchain wallet on your screen and something that says "JorgeStolfi" so I know the address belongs to you.  

+1

Despite the pure academic interest, I'd donate a small sum too, so Jorge doesn't have to buy any btc.
A theorist without any practical approach has no clue what he's theorizing about.

Come on, it doesn't hurt...just take the damn pill  

[simonk83]

Well he's now ignored, so that's one less little piece of enjoyment for him I suppose.

You're going to hate yourself when you read back your posts here in year or two. Oh boy.. 

Perhaps. But right now I am kinda ejoying it.  I did't have so much attention focused on my person since sixth grade, when I was the #1 target of all bullies in the school.  It makes me feel thirteen again.

Of course you were treated with hostility. You are an attention whore. I have no doubt you provoke bullies so that you can plead victim. I have enough of your personality flaws to recognize them in you. That really concerns me.

[JorgeStolfi]

You could go to a gun forum and explain the merits of gun control to the forum members! That should make your experience here seem dull.

I have been department chairman.  That cannot possibly be worse.

Why are mtgox developments still this big subject here? I thought we were just going to let mtgox die already and recover without it.

[HairyMaclairy]

Nothing really new in there.

The recovery is slow and boring.

what? Have you looked at a chart? It jumped 55%.

I'm an actual Bitcoin trader and enthusiast on a Bitcoin forum, whatever my faults may be.

What the hell has happened to the momentum chasers and TA chartists? On the way down, they would not shut up and now they are conspicuously quiet. This is the TA thread and there has been no TA for pages.

I also see that some people have trouble burying their head in sand. It's weird, because usually everyone are doing it so well.
I think that someone should post a detailed guide how to do it, so we could all just deny that mtgox ever existed and continue to chant choo choo without interruptions.

No.  And I must confess to something much worse than pontificating on bitcoin without ever having used it:

        I have served jury duty five times, all murder cases, without having murdered anyone before.

So, before I buy some bitcoin, I must fill that gap in my experience, in case I am again called to serve.  Would you volunteer?

Yes sir, I did volunteer, and for a bigger gap than jury duty. Not necessarily one that I'd want to go back to, with any sanity anyway.

But kudos to you for a methodical and thorough approach.

You misunderstand. He's asking you to volunteer to be his murder victim so he can properly judge murder.

Well, what I did was basically volunteer to be a potential murder victim, that would have itself been legalized, as far as war is concerned. But what little sanity I can claim prevents me from doing it twice.

All numbers were collected by hand from the site http://bitcoinwisdom.com. Beware of possible errors.

For each exchange, the numbers include only the trade volume to/from the currencies listed in the rightmost column. Trade between BTC and other cryptocoins, such as LiteCoin, is NOT included.

Dates on the header line are UTC. Specifically, "01/15" means "from 01/15 00:00:00 UTC to 01/15 23:59:59 UTC". (Beware that Bitcoinwisdom uses your local time, so the date may appear to be off by 1 day.  For example, if you are 2 hours west of Greenwich, it may show "01/14 22:00" when the UTC time is "01/15 00:00".)

NOTE: MtGOX is now closed.

"Flags and Pennants are short-term continuation patterns that mark a small consolidation before the previous move resumes. These patterns are usually preceded by a sharp advance or decline with heavy volume, and mark a mid-point of the move. "



hmmmmm.

yes, I've been scrolling through a veritable forest of "this user is currently ignored." with little TA to break it

The recovery is slow and boring. Train wrecks are morbidly interesting.

Well, I think it is worth discussing exactly what happened so that we are not doomed to repeat it again.

I'm not saying we need to pretend like gox doesn't exist, but rather we need to acknowledge that we've moved on from gox. When I saw the price make a strong rebound from 400 during the gox crash and start recovering on its own, I was incredibly bullish. I thought "here we are, the worst has happened, and the whales are still buying. this the bottom, even with all the bad news about gox priced in and with gox completely gone. now we can move on into a new era of recovery and a new rally. bitstamp is now leading, using entirely strength from bitstamp". The price was doing perfectly fine on it's own. A slow, steady, and strong recovery would have been perfect. We don't need to add accessories like "gox might recover" and pump the price to ridiculous levels right away. All this does is add more drama and uncertaintly, and now the neverending story continues. It is a de-evolution. Now I am back in the same situation I was in for the previous 4 weeks when I was bearish instead of bullish.

If you aren't the sole controller of your private keys, you don't have any bitcoins.

Follow that simple rule and you will not be doomed to repeat it again.

True, luckily I came away unscathed (actually slightly richer) from this whole thing so have a +1
