Will Fed hike the rate today? (I don't think so).

And will the outcome be relevant to bitcoin price? How?

Yes, the fed IS raising the federal interest rate today.
I was told by a higher-up from one of the big 4 yesterday evening.

Because 'Bitcoin technology' is code for 'private blockchain'.

They may as well just use a database or filing cabinet.
If they control this "blockchain" then it can be easily modified by them. No point, except they get to use a buzzword "blockchain".

No interest rate hike which means nothing for btc.

If interest rate increases it affects the stock market immediately as higher returns are now possible from other investments.

1) When it happens there wouldn't be much of a rate hike to begin with.

2) The psychological impact of it after historical lows for many years will be unsettling.  

3) Are the type of people who would move their money due to small changes in the interest rate really going to move to btc Huh Tongue

Doubt it to much global insecurity right now

As for the impact to the Bitcoin price since I expect no change in the interest rate it should end up as a neutral outcome.

Make Bitcoin glow with ENIAC

we all need a holiday from time to time! a nice beach with crystal clear waters or a lake in the mountains...

speaking of which, took my dad & daughter to the beach for a bit of a paddle, ended up surrounded by 'lots' of different fish(es) we all giggled like it was magic - it kinda was.

bought 12 more coins when we got home, and ate calimari.

Nice to see someone expressing their common humanity and decency. Little moments with dear loved ones like you just described are all important for remembering the really important things in life. Thanks for sharing.

[I hate my life]

trolololol!!

my average buy-in is 8GBP but thanks for your 'concern'.



I must admit I was charmed by your post as well.

Not as nice as seeing someone who's steadily buying his way into poverty (and his beloveds').
