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

[OutOfMemory]

The defendant (shooter) stated that japanese guy/boy was 'moving erratically' and did not "freeze".

Interesting edit.

Not that I would claim it as a good shoot, just that the media tends to present it as a dude just randomly taking down trick-or-treaters.

After the trial, Peairs told the press that he would never again own a gun. A 2013 source reported that he had lost his home and his supermarket job following the shooting and was living in a trailer park.

While not guilty in a criminal sense, still held liable for shooting an innocent.

"There was no thinking involved. I wish I could have thought. If I could have just thought," Bonnie Peairs said.

Think twice before pulling the trigger or calling for a shot.

EDIT: The SEC press conference was taken positive by the market, huh? No mean words against crypto.
Now time to fuck over the bears.

Here is my 2c about that "purple" posts and shooting those who went past them.
In short, it is idiotic, imho.

Your idiot opinion has been noted.

... exquisite response to the triggerred liberal

... but pretty sure your purple-marked posts need to be some colour other than purple for the bottom 3-5 feet

... I can bring over a tin of black paint and a brush and we'll get to work painting your black bottoms? .... Or is it bottoms black?

Surely the rest of the post would be blue, green, yellow, orange, red for maximum F.U. factor?

I'd leave a good length of each post unpainted (bare metal), for the occasional bareback rusty pipe treatment.

I see Ant’s

Every decently sized green candle is countered by sellwalls popping up out of nowhere.
I find this pretty tiring. Bulls, it's time to fuck over some bears.

EDIT:
Since my government dropped taxation on trading crypto for crypto, i could trade this easily with 2% of my stash (peanuts, but still makes me more sats), but something in my guts tells me i should not. Almost pulled the trigger at $49.200-ish numbers, but unsure of how low to set buy targets.
Opinions?

Of course, people are going to vary.. but my perspective (you will be sorry you asked)...

Don't fuck around if you are trying to use selling to buy more lillie fiends at a lower price.

On the other hand, if you are o.k. with the possibility of the BTC price going up and moving against you forever, then sure.. no problem.. there are ways to set things up in order that you are neither selling too much of your stash or that you feel that you have to buy back in case the BTC price does not come back down to below your selling price.

Why? Because it is completely arbitrary and does not accomplish what is intended.
Assume several scenarios:
1. A visitor from out of state was traveling, went to piss past a purple post. He/she has no idea, thinks that it is some kind of a decoration-bam, wham. Not exactly the same, but in Florida a nice Japanese student visitor was killed through the door when he was simply participating in Halloween celebration.
2. A local drunkard drove his truck past the "signs", went out to do #1 as well...bam..wham!

In both cases, those who do the shootin' would be dragged through the courts, charged with manslaughter, and even IF they prevail, it is DEFINITELY not worth it if lives were not REALLY in danger.
Protect the property? Well, bears and rabbits shit on your property daily with no recourse..well maybe they got shot too from time to time, which is fine.

Additionally, assume scenario #2 happened. If the guy/gal who was shot in this scenario was also local, you would NEVER be safe.
His or her relatives...they got 'them telescope rifles as well, don't ya think?

Again, shooting mere trespassers is not legal in any case. Urban legends, old wives tales and the fact that you would probably get away with it if you weren't completely stupid notwithstanding. It's merely supposed to be a no trespassing sign. Though I do agree that it's really not very good from the point of view of someone who has never heard of this totally non-obvious custom.

By the way, I do recall reading that there were other parts to the Japanese student (though I think that was Texas) that were not being reported (quelle surprise) which, while not making the event particularly better, do shine a different light on things.

If I'm not wrong Texas has a law that let's you kill anyone entering your property uninvited after dark.
If I recall correctly the couple that shot the Japanese student did shout "freeze" several times and he did not stop, and it was after dark.

Edit: i see now that it didn't take place in Texas so that law obviously wasn't applicable.

Don't know that story. It sounds tragic. 

However, if you travel, be aware of the "habits" in different areas.
And in some parts of the USA, you just don't enter people's property uninvited, no exception.

You are generally correct, however.  Texas does have this law.

And it is a tremendously civilized position in my opinion.  When you live in the country and come under a threat you MUST be able to defend yourself.  No one wants to be in that position.  And no one with any sense wants to carry the fact that they did ultimate hard to another human, even if justified.  But no one is going to be able to come to your aid if you are threatened miles away from any eve rough civilization, so you carry that responsibility yourself.

I have known a lot of country folks.  And they are, for the most part peaceful and kind.  They would help a stranger who came for help. But if you live out in the middle of nowhere and have someone come on your property uninvited (particularly at night), and then they do not respond to commands to halt...  Well there comes a point where the only sensible move is force.  It's known as Castle Law, or Doctrine.  And it is quite sensible in my opinion.

I agree with you, I only wish we had that law in Sweden.

What for? I've been to Sweden it looks literally the most peaceful country in the world. And trust me: you don't want to shoot at people. I served as a police officer for 4 years in 2003-2007.

Texas has a lot of laws on guns, but the population is smart enough not to press the issue to the hilt.
Almost nobody in Houston is going around openly carrying a gun, but they could if a need arises.

"Beginning September 1, 2021, HB1927 made it legal in Texas for most people 21 or over to carry a handgun in a holster without a permit both openly and/or concealed."
However, there are many exceptions of places and events.
Exactly how this law interacts with the prior law that prohibited open carry on College campuses, I am not sure.
Typically, there are a lot of gun-related texts posted on the walls (on campuses), not sure if everything is even current.

Now, as far as bitcoin is concerned, nothing special is happening, so far.

I believe this effectively applies to your residence. You can't just gun down the mormons walking up your drive, even if one is Mitt Romney.
