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

[JayJuanGee]

Oh and did anyone see Pomp annihilating Peter Schiff last night?  I did not used to really respect him, but his perspective has matured and sharpened a LOT over the last few years... he's a real asset for BTC.  Understands it, and delivers extremely well on TV etc.

"How do I hang up"?  That's how Schiff ends the podcast.  Probably just thinks it funny.  But he was GIVEN bitcoin and "lost the password".

Seriously.  This is the reality that we have to build for (I say we).

When I hear Matt O'dell describing privacy best practices, and he and Marty trying to get people to run nodes, and all that I just shake my head.  It's not that this is not important, but it's that it's MORE IMPORTANT to onboard all the non-geeks.  Peter Schiff lost his BTC because the tech was too hard for him.  

There are SOOO MANY people this is true for.  And they are not all boomers.

This is why I still think Cash App and probably eventually Paypal will end up being the most important layer two solutions.

Us geeks can custody ourselves and use multi-sig and so on.  

Anyway Schiff is such a bonehead.

I just watched the 1 hour 40 minute video, and I did not conclude that Pomp had annihilated Schiff.  There were likely several points that Pomp could have made better arguments regarding what makes bitcoin valuable besides merely getting caught on some short time frame price performance comparisons.. but Pomp did o.k.  overall.. and surely it is easier for me to sit here and criticize as compared with Pomp's engaging in impromptu discussions and battles with someone so persistent and sometimes making outrageous claims, like Schiff.  

I will say that Pomp actually did much better in NOT allowing Schiff to talk over him as compared with a recent Joe Rogan podcast (in mid July) in which Joe allowed Peter to ramble on and on and on (even though the Rogan podcast was more about the economy and not even a word about bitcoin in that Rogan podcast).

Edited my first paragraph, a wee bit for clarity

Only less than 4 days for the close of the poll timeline.. and several of you guys are subscribing to a kind of "the trend is your friend" BTC price theory for the upcoming days.  Whoazza

I won't complain if a MOAR bullish than expected BTC price performance situation plays out...


And, I already mentioned, a couple of times, I believe, that I am not personally going to be inspired with confidence about 4 digits being in our BTC price history (or in our rearview mirror) unless we get above our June 2019 high of $13,880.

Sex is great but have you ever HODLED through a hideous bear market with heavy bags & now beginning to see the start of the impending face melting, once in a lifetime bull run?

Twice now, balls still hurting. Seems like some of us are more into masochism.

Enemies are made when you mix incompetence with inflated ego, arrogance and a false sense of superiority.

A smart person losing his BTC "password" would praise Bitcoin for its impenetrable security, educate himself and buy more BTC.

A stupid, arrogant egoist losing his BTC "password" ends up a Bitcoin enemy for life...

July was not the poll favorite for breakout.

We need to slow down here for a bit. Let's take a breather. Right now its damn expensive to borrow on binance / bitmex to go long. Need that to normalize before next leg up.

We have had a slow down and there was the predictable pull back.
The next leg up

You know shit's happening when you check the board and there are 10 pages of new posts since you went to sleep, lol.

heh yeah. i dont regularly check the price (maybe once a week or even less); i have laddered sells and buys set and let it run on autopilot for the most part. but when in the space of like 6 hours there were 8 new pages in the WO i fired up a tab to my exchanges.

it was an enjoyable experience. and now a tab is always open on my main exchange, havent done that for a while.

in someones words: "weeeeeeee!"
