fake enough

“I emailed him– because I’m concerned that scammers like Roger Ver finally figured out that faketoshi isn’t convincing anyone anymore,” Maxwell said.

We may have seen such assistance in action yesterday when Craig Wright’s BMG Pool mined five 32MB blocks containing miner created zombie transactions.

Why they mined such blocks is not very clear, but Maxwell’s tactic may well be to use his code expertise as a political tool. What may well be Blockstream affiliated media accounts, for example, where quick yesterday to say the Bitcoin Unlimited nodes had crashed after the 32MB blocks were mined.

Yet code related problems with Bitcoin Unlimited are not news to anyone, hence why it took until BitcoinABC to fork off.

ABC’s nodes kept up very well. Potentially so suggesting that Maxwell actually doesn’t have much in his code arsenal, if of course he was involved in discreetly assisting Wright’s pool with mining zombie transactions.

We do not know whether that is the case, but it is doubtful Wright’s team would have had the technical expertise otherwise as clearly shown by BitcoinSV’s codebase.

A codebase that probably has bugs which actually matter, in a client that actually matters.

Forget private keys, if Craig Wright was Satoshi he could post his now defunct bitcointalk password on Twitter...but he can't even do that.  Also, since everyone in the thread is retarded, my bottom call around 10 months ago was "probably stabilize around $4200-4400 with flash crashes to $3000", while Tera's was "might drop as low as $1000".  You can build a statue in the town square of whoever the winner is.

Maybe just maybe theÿ won the hash war ? Or maybe not.

The Bitcoin Cash network has now been upgraded!
2 blocks have been mined under the new consensus rules!
Bitcoin ABC is currently 2 blocks ahead.

Maybe sooner than I though?

Oh look Virgin Roach, your other favorite Nazi site right here is spreading Bitcoin adoption. Its crazy how average everyday Nazi's use modern things like cars, computers, shoes, etc. Its almost as if they arent totally retarded, which means you are operating on some mentally retarded level under them.

"You open your Bitcoin wallet on your device and let the ATM scan the bar code displayed on your screen. This is how the ATM knows where to send the Bitcoin. Then select the dollar amount you want to convert to Bitcoin and just feed your cash into the machine. In about two seconds the equivalent Bitcoin will appear in your wallet.

Now you can use it buy all kinds of merchandise or transfer money safely and securely to anybody with a Bitcoin wallet."

I dont see Nazi's using Silver to run their websites and buy stuff online w

I bet Nazi's will be having their own 100k party soon when this bull market really gets in full swing.

I'm thinking January will be a good month. Break the 50-day MA and get a pump on to $5000 on BAKKT fever.

Bitcoin ATM company Coinme is partnering with coins-to-cash converter Coinstar to allow bitcoin purchases through Coinstar kiosks in a number of U.S. states, the companies announced Thursday.

At launch, only customers at certain Safeway or Albertsons stores in California, Texas and Washington state will be able to purchase bitcoin through the kiosks, though there are “plans to extend this offering to additional U.S. markets and retailers following a successful launch,” a press release said.

Darknet market activity is relatively price inelastic; that is, you don’t see a drop in this type of activity when cryptocurrency prices fall. In fact, in 2018, darknet market activity and overall market performance had an inverse relationship.

Two major executives of Komid, a cryptocurrency exchange platform based in South Korea, have been sentenced to prison, according to a report by local Korean news outlet Blockinpress.

The two individuals were convicted of falsifying trading volumes on the exchange. Choi Hyunsuk, CEO of Komid, is one of the indicted individuals. He was given a three-year sentence for his role in the scam, while the other executive, In-House Director Park Mo, is set to be jailed for two years as well.

It would be great to have a link...  

Wow.. but where will it be stored? In your Samsung account online or inside mobile offline?
And more is it from Samsung or Android itself?

Samsung said that smartphones are the safest devices for storing digital currencies. According to the electronics giant, “spendable” cryptocurrency may be securely stored on mobile phones because they use a Trusted Execution Environment (TEE).

As explained by Samsung in a blog post, the TEE runs in its own independent execution environment, so that its persistent storage (normally a hard disk drive) and random-access-memory (RAM) are separate from a mobile phone’s operating system (OS).

Because there’s an independent run-time environment, the Android OS does not have direct access to the TEE. This means that even if the OS gets hacked, the attacker will not be able to access the data in the TEE. The only way to access data in the TEE is through a compatible application programming interface (API), according to Samsung.

In fact, you can send messages/voice/files through satellites for decades, with ham radio. For free.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amateur_radio_satellite

These satellites can be used for free by licensed amateur radio operators for voice (FM, SSB) and data communications (AX.25, packet radio, APRS).

The license has been free since 1901. Massachusetts 8th graders were building their own gear to transmit and receive in 1904. You can purchase modern equipment very easily, no soldering involved.

I am very sure I have the correct license. I was doing this in 1984. I transmitted on 432 mhz right hand circular polarization, and received on 2 meters left hand circular polarization. It's easy and cheap now. Sorry you don't want to learn or study. The license has always been free.

Reasons Bitcoin’s Adoption is Stronger Than Ever

1-Bitcoin is now even more secure.
2-The number of daily active addresses is stable.
3-Transaction volume has doubled.
4-The average transaction fee is down to about 25 cents.
5-Bitcoin’s Lightning Network has grown nicely.

It's the same reason why women weren't allowed to vote.  Males are the most productive members of society who build everything in the first place.  If you look outside your window, every single brick was put there by a man. Women as a whole PAY NO TAXES and are a net burden on a nation.  Any type of system giving women voting rights is going to be nothing more than 100% guaranteed communism where they vote to steal money from more productive males to subsidize themselves.

Destroying bitcoin - whose traffic is not even obfuscated, coins not even fungible, and also entirely centralized - is child's play for the govt.

The fact the govt doesn't attempt to stop bitcoin AT ALL and instead endorses people to use digital shitcoins and passes bi-partisan, pro-bitcoin laws in the US govt is the real red flag here.

Bitcoin requires an artificial block size restraint in order for any type of fee market to function and exist at all.  Rather than join the arbitrarily set small and useless blocks camp, or the large and dysfunctional blocks camp, any rational person would just notice bitcoin is a poorly constructed imitation of physical gold - a fugazi - and just use real physical gold and silver instead.

The militant arm of Hamas — the de facto ruling authority of the Gaza Strip in Palestine — has appealed to its supporters to send it funds using Bitcoin (BTC). The appeal was made via the official Telegram channel of Abu Obeida, a spokesman for Hamas’ Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, on Jan. 29.

In his message, Abu Obeida called upon “all lovers of the resistance and the supporters of our righteous cause to support the resistance financially using ‘Bitcoin’ currency,” adding that an exact funding mechanism for transacting the crypto would be announced later. He continued:

“The Zionist enemy is fighting the resistance by trying to cut its support by all means, but the resistance lovers in all the world are fighting these Zionist attempts and are seeking to find all possible support for the resistance."

Abu Obeida’s turn to Bitcoin comes in the immediate context of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s decision to temporarily freeze millions of dollars in Qatari aid — including $15 million a month to pay the salaries of Hamas civil servants — from entering the Gaza Strip, in retribution for a recent flare-up in border tensions between Israel and Hamas.

This sounds like some bullshit, I'll have to look further into it. Sounds like some IOUs for Bitcoin.

Its just another ERC20 shitcoin, even if it is a BTC derivative shitcoin. 

So Hamas uses BTC to get around sanctions, according to US /Israeli sources.  Having had a quick peek around, it's not so reported elsewhere, mind. Pinch of salt, but it's not implausible.

For r0ach and Some other crazy F***s

Bitcoin’s price fell for a record sixth consecutive month in January, after an early bounce to $4,000 failed to entice mass buying.

The leading cryptocurrency by market value closed yesterday at $3,413 on Bitstamp – down 7.59 percent from the monthly opening price of $3,693. Prices dropped 9, 6, 4.4, 37 and 7 percent, respectively, in the previous five months.

The second longest run of monthly losses dates back to 2011 when prices dropped 81 percent during the five months from July to November.

BTC has fared a little better in the last six months, with a 63 percent loss over the period.

Added to the growing pile of lost coins

This is so cool.  We've all sent bitcoin transactions.  

This is the next level...   Umm... next layer?

Huh?

The article is wrong because Bitcoin prices are currently NOT in decline.  BTC's low price for this correction cycle were on December 14, 2018 at $3,122.  You are wrong for posting such disinformation without catching such an obvious and seemingly intentional misstatement of facts.

After Hamas's military wing published a bitcoin address on Telegram on Thursday identified by Whitestream as the wallet address of Coinbase, the same Telegram channel published a second bitcoin address for collecting donations on Saturday, this time a digital wallet apparently unrelated to Coinbase. Levy explained to "Globes" today that according to a check by Whitestream, within two days of the publication of the first bitcoin address, two relatively small bitcoin donations addresses were published amounting to only $2,500.

Whitestream discovered that one of the bitcoin donations transferred to Hamas's Coinbase wallet was sent on Thursday from a "Buy Cash" bitcoin trader in Khan Yunis in the Gaza Strip. Other bitcoin donations were sent to the Palestinian organization from wallets connected to Chinese cryptocurrencies exchange Binance and Russian cryptocurrencies exchange Vilkov, and from a wallet of another Coinbase account. Whitestream's check also revealed that bitcoin donations were sent late last week from Hamas's coinbase wallet to two bitcoin wallets: one belonging to CoinPayments, a company registered in the Cayman Islands, and one belonging to Binance.

The second Hamas bitcoin address has so far received donations from wallets of US trading platforms Bittrex and Coinbase, from Binance and Vilkov wallets, and from the coinMixer.io mixing service. Mixing technology mixes different addresses of digital currencies, thereby making it difficult to identify their users. Levy told "Globes" that the Hamas Coinbase wallet may have been blocked, and another wallet opened for collecting donations. The Whitestream team will continue monitoring incoming and outgoing transactions on Hamas's bitcoin addresses in the near future.

The U.S. Federal Reserve could soon include a cryptocurrency market crash as one of the risks to take into account when conducting supervisory stress tests.

The Fed’s board of governors on Thursday announced amendments to a policy statement on the scenario design framework for stress testing, saying that “the collapse of the bitcoin market” may be considered as one of the “salient” market risks.

According to the document, the crypto amendment was recommended to the board by a commenter who proposed it should be seen as one of several “extraordinary shocks,” such as a war with North Korea and major losses caused by trader misconduct.

“Where appropriate, the Board intends to continue augmenting the scenarios with risks it considers to be salient,” it explained.

No need to pay ripoff prices.
Using simple combinatorics you can set up (for example) a three-of-five secret sharing scheme.
Divide a long random number (your entropy*) into ten concatenated segments Seg(1), Seg(2)... Seg(10).  Assign each segment to a row in this table.  Each row has three red blocks.  Give Seg(i) of the rand to each person who has a red square in row(i).
Any three persons out of the five can put their shares together and recreate the entire rand.

Note that for a two-of-five secret sharing scheme, you would need four red blocks in each row, the combinatoric "5 choose 4" which has five rows.
A four-of-five secret sharing scheme would require two red squares in each row.  5 choose 2 has ten rows.
*Since a bitcoin address privkey is based on a 256 bit random number, you could simply use a 256 bit rand and create a bitcoin privkey directly from that.  In that case, each segment of the key would have 25 or 26 bits, which might not be enough security for you.  To increase security, you could use a 1000 bit rand so that each segment has 100 bits.  Then derive the privkey from the 1000 bit number, perhaps by simply hashing it down to 256 bits using sha256sum (the way bitaddress.org does it).

You can do almost the same thing for free by using the Split Wallet feature of bitaddress.org and sending one key to someone else.

The monthly update:




Done, my monthly accumulation buy limit order just triggered. This winter starts to feel long already. All BTC are still well protected in their wallets, all good. Back to hibernation mode.

Gentlemen, have a good one!

There are two strong resistance levels that will take considerable shift in psche to break.3800$ on the downward trends as most traders are expecting a possible bull run,hence not in a rush to sell off,the other is 4200$ on the upward trend.Previous rallies (pumps and dumps) never went beyond this level.Any trade above this may not draw significant intetests as many will likely it as another pump and dump session.A possible break in the grid lock could be as a result of some bullish news of Bakkt possibly launched by March 15th.No one can tell how big an impact it could be.We are more likely to trade sideways this coming week.

That’s the joke, except with the 3000 you don’t have to make an onchain transaction to fund your node.

No you can't.

There is only one bitcoin, and when push comes to shove (for example if they were under government attack or traditional banking attack), all 3,000 of those supposed coins that you cannot even list would not have liquidity or network (node) effects to accomplish such with impunity like bitcoin can.

So, fuck off with your vague assertion that there is some other coin that competes with bitcoin, because amongst other things, lightning network is an alt coin killer.

Wall Street trades a significant portion of the market’s bitcoin futures

Data shows that the Chicago Mercantile Exchange’s (CME) Bitcoin futures traded $563 million in volume on Apr. 4th while the top 10 crypto exchanges traded $685 million, suggesting Wall Street is now trading a significant portion of the BTC futures market.

CME Sees Massive Increase in Bitcoin Futures Trading Volume

Following the Chicago Board Options Exchange’s (CBOE) decision to delist Bitcoin futures the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) stepped in and seized much of the market.

Any major stock exchange’s involvement in the digital asset-derivatives market will benefit the crypto industry, both in terms of liquidity and in and legitimizing the sphere.

Recent data from Messari Crypto, a cryptocurrency research company, shows that CME has meaningful amounts of volume. According to CME, its BTC futures traded about $563 million on Apr. 4th alone.

While the exact amount wasn’t confirmed by CME, the company lists the number of contracts traded as well as the amount of Bitcoin in every contract. With 5 BTC per contract and yesterday’s $5,000 Bitcoin price, the 22,542 contracts traded over $500 million.

Is the Halving Priced In?
 

The halving is close enough that it’s time to start talking about it more seriously, but far enough out in the future that it’s unclear whether it’s priced into the market efficiently. In fact, based on anecdotal conversations with market participants, we were surprised to learn that many of them were not even aware of this event. Moreover, according to Unchained Capital, less than 32% of the bitcoins in circulation have remained in the same wallet addresses since July 2016.3 This is consistent with our own determination that a large number of existing bitcoin holders are investors who have entered the market in the last three years. For many of them, this is uncharted territory and could very well be their first halving event.

While some investors in the digital asset ecosystem appear to have a short-term bias, strategies with a multi-year investment horizon and the discipline to hold strategic positions in Bitcoin through these events have historically generated outsized returns. For example, in the one-year periods following the first and second halvings, bitcoin’s price rose by roughly 81x and 3x, respectively.

France Calls for Central Bank Review of Facebook Cryptocurrency


I would classify this as Anger Stage in the Kübler-Ross model

Account addresses.
An account address is a 256-bit value. To create a new account, a user
first generates a fresh verification/signature key-pair (vk, sk) for a signature scheme and uses the
cryptographic hash of the public verification key vk as an account address a = H(vk).¹
The new account is created in the ledger state when a transaction sent from an existing account invokes the
create_account(a) Move instruction. This typically happens when a transaction attempts to send
Libra to an account at address a that has not yet been created.
Once the new account is created at a, the user can sign transactions to be sent from that account
using the private signing key sk. The user can also rotate the key used to sign transactions from the
account without changing its address, e.g., to proactively change the key or to respond to a possible
compromise of the key.

The Libra protocol does not link accounts to a real-world identity. A user is free to create multiple
accounts by generating multiple key-pairs. Accounts controlled by the same user have no inherent
link to each other. This scheme follows the example of Bitcoin and Ethereum in that it provides
pseudonymity [19] for users.

Over time the block rewards will decline and miners will also actually use less power but the cost for the hardware will probably be more of a factor than the cost of power at some point.   However when it comes to the amount of power that can be used ... considering that current world's power requirements could be handled with less than 120,000 sq km of solar panels ... at growth of 100x power use for bitcoin over the next 100 years won't be an issue.   Like metals, energy is actually in abundance, we just haven't had the technology in place to use it.   (120k sq km is about 0.024% of the earth's surface area, I just showing how little of our available power we actually use.  Solar is only one technology, fusion based power plants could exist 100 years from now.)  

A few years ago I really thought power would be a problem, but then I started doing some computations.   Energy isn't the issue, technology and politics are the issues.   However since bitcoin depends more on networks than location, politics can be bypassed.

“We are studying the potential use of cryptocurrency ... in our national and international commercial transactions, and we are working on that together with academics,” Economy Minister Alejandro Gil Fernandez said.

Are there other categorizations?

Well was hoping for a retest of 12.4k but we got rejected at 12k.

Daily looks quite bad too, nearly a full retrace.

Very likely we will retest 10k and then the 9.6k local bottom.

Seconding this motion

It's always been a roller coaster ride, if you can take advantage based on your analysis, you should make the right decision with proper timing.

The Tron offices in Beijing are reportedly being raided by Chinese police in a growing crackdown. Details are still developing, but two videos were posted which documented the raid.

By connecting bank accounts, customers in over 80 countries can now deposit money into Poloniex and have it automatically tokenized into USD Coin (USDC) for trading. Similarly, customers can withdraw USDC directly into their bank accounts. The starting weekly limits are $50,000 for deposits and $25,000 for withdrawals, but these can be increased for specific customer needs.

Additionally, Poloniex has partnered with payment-processor Simplex, so customers from 60+ countries can use their debit or credit cards to buy bitcoin on Poloniex. Simplex charges a 3.5% fee (or $10, whichever is greater), and customers can purchase as little as $50 worth of bitcoin.

Customers who connect their bank accounts and deposit funds will get their fiat money automatically tokenized to USD Coin (USDC)

Who cares just buy the dip!  

This is just insane how the BTC price perfectly sticks to the trend lines in this bull run. If you know this fact, trading and setting up entry points is so much easier.

Just look on this 4 hours chart and how the price dropped exactly to the trend line. I know that if there will be a further decline, we will see the second trend line tested.

But I think 12.000$ is the lowest price we will see, with this pullback. We will test this level a few times and go up again.

Of course, one has to control and check everything frequently, because the situation can change in a few minutes.

But still it can taste good also I never see what should or what is best or .... I always follow my own taste or what I want at that time.... hope everyone does and if its Some quality stuff tomorrow Than thats good, but if its Some BBQ wine the next time after than fine by me ....
I think we all do it that way not?

This dip should go no lower than about $10,690, based on a bounce off the 30 MA daily.

Don't panic sell!!!

Wait for a while and if the price drops below this trend/resistance line at 11.300$ then there is a big possibility that we will see 10.000$ levels.

The next few hours will be very important and I would advise to closely monitor the price and volumes.

If you are Hodling don't panic sell when the price already dropped so much and is sitting at a very level and there is a big possibility for a 50% bounce back to 12.000$.

Trump is a living embodiment of the Dunning-Kruger effect. If his incompetence actually causes more eyes on crypto then that would be hilarious.

Sold 90%, I hope it's the correct choice.  I can't see it hitting over 12500 again in July at the very least.  The traders on trading view mainly suggesting drops to mid 10's 9's or 8's this month before a temporary pullback.  Could be a bad week from here on in.

my average sell price was 13057.   I was  expecting a sell off, the alt coins were dumping and i figured this was keeping bitcoin price artificailly high as they are mostly paired to bitcoin.  Decided to sell most of my stash.

Could be a wrong choice but, I will look at it again next week just think this needs time to cool off a little.

Tyler, hyperwave... is gone.

I didn't like his opinions lately but I still feel bad. R.I.P.

Hilarious that these clowns like McAfee make these outrageous Bitcoin price predictions, like the price will just magically "rise" to these astronomical levels on its own, in a supposed vacuum.

They never talk about people. As in, price rises when people fucking buy Bitcoin. As in public demand outstripping supply. So what is going to spur this amazing and sudden demand? Everyone I've talked to has no plans to create an account and buy any Bitcoin, no matter what the price does.

tldr; Bitcoin price doesn't just magically rise on its own.  /rant

The monthly update:



Spring is finally over, the summer has arrived and is already far too hot (at least for my liking).

So here we go with a red month of July. That's fine, let's cool down a bit to enjoy new, fresh green in the future.

China teaches its people what real money looks like, a chairmans saw the light, fresh fiat will be printed, responsibly minded investors can finally buy the real thing - you know the drill, my accumulation phase is not finished.

Gentlemen, enjoy the month of August!

https://www.tradingview.com/chart/BTCUSD/3l1JOd99-Wedge/

The next 24 hours is extremely critical. Go down and say hello to $7.5k, we better jump up now.

edit: mini jump from 9.5k to 9.8k. I just bought before the jump another $100  

This am I also saw this Twitter thread, where someone stated some gang members, stil at large, are trying to cash out sending clips of 100 BTC to binance:

https://twitter.com/DoveyWan/status/1161703702270365696?s=20

Good morning, nice, we are back above 10,000.

Bad news.

After yesterday's green everything is awesome candle, we got the red candle again, at least for now. Looks like it is going to test that 9.2-9.3k.



I'll buy some serious amounts if this goes below $8k. and I don't mean small potatoes like $100.

Referring to the graph of gold vs Bitcoin, it is created by Coinmetrics, in my opinion their presentations are always interesting, but there is an Italian saying that says:

"se non è vero, è ben trovato"  > If it's not true, it's well invented.

It looks like the guy who just performed the slow motion KO was about to beat down that chick who just entered the frame from the left. I would like to see the next 5 seconds of what happened.

Next 12 hours is extremely critical.

Can someone ELI5 this shit for me? I'm not sure how a futures market that doesn't settle in actual coins is effecting the market. Are true investors this retarded that they are manipulated by an artificial vapor market? Eventually these scumbags have to use real coins, as in not stolen from exchanges by TPTB, to manipulate and create self fulfilling prophecies.

Here:


Cool! WO was discussing about that 6 days ago  

I think y'all maybe missed the point of the link I posted today, this isn't old news from 6 days ago. The link explains that purchases with crypto are VAT free. This follows from a clarification by the Portuguese gov't a couple days ago. Note the quote below isn't talking about investment gains.

Portugal’s Tax Authority has clarified that both cryptocurrency trading and payments in crypto will not be taxed in the country, Cointelegraph en Español reported on Aug. 27.
-snip
The agency reportedly provided the clarification to a local crypto mining company, publishing an official ruling document. In the document, the authority states that the exchange of crypto for fiat money is free of VAT, adding that crypto users do not have to pay any income tax.

Every hour we don't bart up back to $11k is critical from now on.

If it doesn't go up soon, you know which direction it will go.

Next 12 years are critical

Options for bitcoin FUTURES, again. How about plain old options? I wonder why they're approaching it this way.

Options will settle into Bakkt’s monthly bitcoin futures contract with time to roll, close out positions or take physical delivery

They're almost the same thing - but only if settlement date of the options coincides with that of the underlying future.

The last trading/expiration day for each option contract month is the second Exchange business day prior to the last trading day of the underlying futures contract month. The underlying monthly futures contract expires on the 3rd Friday of the month with the last trading day on the Wednesday before expiration; accordingly, the Bitcoin Option Contract will expire on Monday of that week.

Options on Bakkt Bitcoin (USD) Monthly Futures Contracts are European style options and may only be exercised on the Last Trading Day of the Option Month.

Blame it on China!
I think China has enough coins. They are mining all of it from owning 81% of all bitcoin pools.

Ive been in Bitcoin for 3 years.......this is the most stunning day I have ever seen.  When we went up to $20,000 it was definitely shocking but the bullish mindset was everywhere. When we had that april green candle earlier this year, that was a surprise to but the bottom was in. When people woke up today, everyone was bearish and pessimistic, everythings changed now; Bull market is still on

Will it bounce back near 7200-7300$ support as it did last time ? That's a million dollar question.
By the way i am expecting a pull back soon that will take us again above 8000$.

Hey guys, I think this about the market, seeing it on Tensorcharts.com, I see that the candle is long, but with little volume, it can be seen in the table that there are sales, it may be because of FUD, panic, because there was enough supply.



And seeing the "Shorts" are not fully open, just a little ...



I think that at any moment there can be a great rebound and recover the price ...

We definitely overshot the fractal and are reverting to the mean, the question in my mind is will we undershoot it as well before the mean reversion is complete. I think maybe but not for long. We really are imo looking at the last great opportunity for dirt cheap coins about to be brought to us by massive volume and red dildos.

6400 seems a given but will that be the end of it is what I wonder.... Maybe 5500 will be necessary, I strongly doubt we get anything much lower than that and I still lean towards 6400 but I want to see some Bargain Boyz volume before I am convinced. Compellingly cheap prices in Bitcoin have almost always been accompanied by compellingly massive volume.

When you are crying is when you should be buying so get your fiat ready boyz, the crying time is coming.

However I guess the market wanted to test the support level but retraced again?

Guys you know what? That 40% btc pump in one day was something that happened because of the snowden's tweet. He posted the picture from btc phrophecy 16k oct 2019.
https://twitter.com/Snowden/status/1187892280906137602


You know that anime picture. And snowdens profile pic, it's the same pose, his hand on his chin. Many folks were convinced he was the prophecy guy and he knows things we don't. Btc went up so fast, 40% up but then the 31rd oct ended without reaching his 16k target. After that it started to decline until we fell down to the point where we were before.


If i would blame someone i would blame that anime phropecy thing but i won't cuz it was something new, cool and interesting.
Now, back to the reality !

In 2015 and 2016 the BTC price roughly doubled, I was counting on that to happen in 2019 and 2020 as well.
But then the early summer spike happened, and I said to myself, well maybe this time is different, there's no MtGox crash to keep us down and what not. But then we went back to normal, and it seems like we are gonna close the year with a doubling, roughly.
The moral of the story is, don't get fooled by the anomalies, stay with the long time trend.
Not that it really matters if you are a hodler.

The monthly update:



Gentlemen, I think all of you will agree that after this overheated summer we had an interesting October. A so called Death Cross gave us some little excitement. This is how we know our old friend, the honey badger. Speaking of temperatures, it is already much too cold for October. What should one do in the house when everything is tidy and the laundry has been washed?

For my part, I thought last year a new job would be a good thing at least for the winter time (my old workplace was chilly and I knew the new one has a working furnace) and a way to accumulate more BTC. The goal was to accumulate a certain amount within a year. Unfortunately, I did not manage to accumulate the whole lot, the current bull started early. Well, I was still able to purchase 60% of the planned Satoshis and can confirm the heating in the new office works.

And what's the moral of the story? Well, even if the weather is bad and the little bulls come out early, you can make the best out of this situation and enjoy the little things.

Have a nice November, Gentlemen!

The Sharpe ratio was developed by Nobel laureate William F. Sharpe and is used to help investors understand the return of an investment compared to its risk. The ratio is the average return earned in excess of the risk-free rate per unit of volatility or total risk.
Subtracting the risk-free rate from the mean return allows an investor to better isolate the profits associated with risk-taking activities. Generally, the greater the value of the Sharpe ratio, the more attractive the risk-adjusted return.​

Only if you accept volatility as a proxy for risk. I take issue with that assumption.

What is the source of that investment comparison chart, though?

I think that increasing demand in the Darkweb can help the price of Bitcoin increase.

As economic value they took coinmarketcap. Comparing coins coimarketcap with revenue of a market is totally pointless. It dont give you any useful data.

Do you have a specific article that attempts to describe the significance of this?

I don't exactly grasp any kind of meaningful significance based on your summary, except just a kind of implication that bitcoin, blockchain (various cryptos) and stable coins are just becoming more broadly accepted within financial BIG WIG circles.

For some reason I was watching on TV her first q&a session as President of the ECB (she’s in charge from the first of November and this is her first public speaking after a rate decision).
She just started talking about Bitcoin, CBDC (Central Bank Digital Currencies), blockchain, stablecoins etcetera.
Just having a Central Banker speaking about Bitcoin is exciting.
No, I haven’t any article about that, because I was reporting it as it was happening. If I find something I will edit the message.

There is very little left for Bitcoin Halving, and the world with a developing Fundamental like Coronavirus, gold loses 7%, great opportunity to buy and Hodl now more than ever.

The monthly update:



Not much to report, happy I bought one of the dips last month around 9480 USD. DCA is working fine at the moment.

Other than that... got my second flu or something like that this season, even though my hands are sore from all the washing. One of the disadvantages of working in an open plan office. Anyway, the administration already has a plan when the "new flu" finally reaches the city. Our desks and the single toilet for 50 peeps will then be cleaned more frequently. Probably all with the same wipe. When the time comes, I will put a note on my desk saying please do not clean.

I feel the urge for UVB and miss the green, will we have spring this year in March, please?

Gentlemen, have a great March, stay healthy, wash your hands and use (hand) lotion! #nohomo

PS: And no, not really afraid of the Wuflu, just amused about desperate measures to "stop" it.

No, it could reasonably be $50K. Maybe more, maybe less. I just say that $100K is probably too much to consider as a reasonable probability. Again, not impossible, depending if Bitcoin is able to regain something similar to 2017 FOMO, but even if that were the case I would not take $100K for granted.

In fact I would prefer a more organic and sustainable $50K than a "fomo" peak to $100K.

Shitcoins Scatological Shitshow💩💩💩:Bitcoin (1st shitcoin among 3000) crashed 22% in last day (43% in last month), now 6.2K. So much for being hedge against riskoff & against equities. Has fallen at 2X rate vs equities. & 3000 Shitcoins down 60% in last month, 98% from peak!

"In the early stages of 2009 H1N1, researchers believed the mortality rate was 7% because many were dying and few tested. Obama didn't care. Media didn't care.

But as time passed and more were tested, they realized the mortality rate was not 7% but .1%. COVID-19 will be the same."

If you are selling now you got hoaxed.  

Well, I'm not selling, this corona recession will probably be shortlived, and as the pandemic fizzles out, the economy will bounce right back.
Governments all over the world is pumping money in to the economy and health care and easing up on tax payments and doing a shitload of other things that will make the economy float right back up, like a cork under water.

Covid will go away, recession will go away, but bitcoin will stay.

I'd buy back from $3k.

Good summary.  We will see 6.4k, maybe soon, but the key is what happens there. It has now become resistance. Even  7.5k , if rejected, is a very bad sign.

The bull case is a slow, slow consolidation, getting back above 8k by end of year.

The bear case is a quicker (1-2 month) move to ~7k, and another lower high.

Just TA stuff, for fun only.

If it fails , yes, very much so. The bounce velocity mirrors the fall, its just a retrace before more downside. That's how markets move.
