I believe BTC should be in the $150 range. There is nothing to support any higher of a price.

What makes you say that?

Thats ridiculous. Very few "normal" guys can throw $70,000 USD onto what is still very much an extremely speculative investment. Maybe you're on wallstreet and think $70K is throw away money, but don't be confused. You have to be crazy well off to throw $70,000 into something as far out as bitcoin.

Probably I live in a country with a lot more money available for the average joe.
20 Bitcoins are worth 11-12k CHF -> most people with academic background earn that in 1-1.5 months!

Yes, I can tell you, 20-100 BTC are no problem to invest including portfolio diversification (bitcoin shouldn't be more then 10% of your savings -> high risk).

BTW. I'm a student and I have more then 20 BTCs..


@ seleme: how old are you?
Just check the salary in switzerland and stop complaining about your miserable income.

Yeah 8K Euro / Month NET? Sure bro! Most people with an academic background look at 3K Euro NET / Month. Anyway you're a student, what do you know.

Dream world!! Average net in Switzerland is 4,948 CHF according to Wikipedia (£3,348.85) and don't forget, this is relative to the price of living out there.

The fight for 900 is over i think. The 900 wall won. He didn't get to sell his coins instead of spreading them out over 900+ and make even more. Well done.
Of course we'll see a 500 sell now followed by panic sheep and we'll be back 780 within the hour.

 Cheesy
Speaking of sheep, the best girl video in the world: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HNMq8XS4LhE turns out that the girl in the video is from manchester where i live.

Where in Manchester you from?

you should also remember mtgox, what will happen when you cant withdraw money from exchange eh? Sounds familiar?

According to that 'fud' news chinese investors will have till spring festival to withdraw their funds from the exchanges, from what i can decrypt on google translate. So it won't be similar panic buy if ever this news is confirmed..

So what would this mean? No more chinese investors?

Is that worse case scenario?

Because I don't think that's such a horrible thing. Always seemed short lived to me.

If this news is true, my understanding is that all current services are stopped and only licensed exchanges will get new services. License will only be given to a few exchanges under regulations.
Moreover, if there're licensed exchanges, they will have no direct control of fiat fund and all the deposits will be managed by the third party institutions, most likely a government affiliate.

If this was true and exchanges were licensed it would actually be a great thing, it would likely encourage a lot more trade.

Why does everyone hate Heineken.

It's one of the worst beers in the world that barely deserves the name beer.
If you have any respect for your taste buds you should limit yourself to Belgian beers and a select few from other countries.

There is only ONE good beer coming from the Netherlands and thats La Trappe.

I guess you're Belgian. Heineken's not bad and Heineken for bitcoins frikin awesome but if the Belgians know anything its beer Smiley

I'm Dutch.

Heineken is terrible. Belgian beer is typically superior to Dutch beer (though some nice Dutch beers exist).

There are quite a few nice Dutch beers, just Heineken is not one of them.

I don't agree with the sentiment that there are only a few select countries that produce good beer, though it does differ, based on what you are into. The key to finding a good beer is research and trying new stuff. I've been toying with the idea of setting up an online off license for craft ales where you can pay with Bitcoin, I think it'd work well.

Let me be the first to draw lines of comparison between the smell of Heineken and mariGuana. These are a great combo.  Grin

As an American, let me also say that Heineken is (agreeing with Oda.Krell) no where near a 'crap beer'. For that try any of the old school big three lager piss beers (Bud, Miller, Coors...) that American was mostly known for in the last many decades (until we got some truly wonderful microbreweries, as mentioned).

http://www.gooseisland.com - Honkers is currently my favourite American beer.

Sorry, going really off topic. If anyone fancies it we could start a beer/ale thread.

This is so boring, no one is making real money in a sideways movement (850-950), this is getting worse that one "Tired of $140" thread as far i remember, should we start a new "Tired of $900" one?

The BBC has already reported Bitcoin a few times although it is not omnipresent on their site.

What's interesting about this is that the report is in the kids' section. They also have a link to a guide to Bitcoin, also in the kids' section.

It's not real news until it's reported by Lizo!

OK. I just logged into Gox to try out the withdrawal rumour (and move my massive stash Wink ) and I notice I received a login authorization email - that's never happened before.

This (perhaps) suggests that they have implemented some additional user features this week and that (perhaps) the news tomorrow will be positive.

Gox said they're would be an update on the 16th, they we're testing the withdrawal system internal first before going live, and there is now less than 3 hrs in the day left, Cheesy Hopefully they work down to the wire.


Press release says update on Monday, so the 17th

With 400 signatures on a petition nothing will change , if there were 4000 maybe some will consider but for 400 of which a few for sure are fakes I don't see anything happening.

Nor do i, but when I originally signed there were about 5. In the space of 48 hours it's had another 395, show's how much Mark has upset people.

Fingers crossed today is the day where Mark actually provides some clarity on the situation, good, or bad, I don't think my heart can take anymore of this.

25K BTC volume on Bitcoinbuilder.

the owner of that website is making MILLIONS just by having a website and "guaranteeing" the trades. He processes them manually. He makes 2% on each trade, on both sides of the trade.

Even for bitcoin standards, this is an astonishing easy way of becoming a fucking millionaire.

I bet he is praying for Gox stalling the situation indefinitely Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy

Aren't we all?

Not the cheapest option I know, but I don't have a verified Gox account and have managed to almost triple my coin. Might take a while to take out, but it was only sat in cold storage before!

are we gonna retest 600$..or are we gonna see 500s$ thats the main question right now

620ish should hold

if gox dose start paying out BTC ( and doesn't get hacked again ) I could see markets going to into the 500's for a few days... when will the gox FUD end?

should be a different story when GOX FIAT is ready to be redistributed

Why would gox paying out send it down? Surely that is good news?

its good news for the poeple that got GOXED, but 180,000BTC suddenly available for selling isn't exactly bullish for the short term.

If 180,000 BTC are split between a million customers it shouldn't be a problem. Also, the positive sentiment associated with this and any media attention will surely help bring new fiat to the market.

Was the same on Friday, even when confirmation came out, things didn't "pick up" until later on in the day (https://www.tradingview.com/v/rO1xsK4F/). This time is a little bit more ambiguous, there is no 100% confirmation that this information is false and as a result I personally think that things will take a little longer.

20k coins dumped on fake news before it had a chance to spread? Sounds like someone's run out of tricks.

We don't 100% know if it is fake news or not, I am on the fence and think that there's not usually smoke without fire. Obviously it could be manipulation by someone trying to make money off the price, but two rumours in one week could mean that there is some fact behind it all.

http://english.caixin.com/2014-03-27/100657518.html


"The requirement, which Caixin saw in a document the central bank's headquarters recently sent to regional offices, says money can be taken from the accounts before the deadline, but no deposits can be made. Banks that fail to close the accounts will be punished, the PBOC said, but it did not elaborate on what those punishments would be."


"The report by certain media that ‘PBOC has issued a document as of 3/18, requesting all bitcoin transactions be halted by 4/15′ is in error. The attitude of the PBOC towards bitcoin has been clearly stated by the [5th December] document issued by the PBOC and five other agencies.”"

however this time we haven't (to my knowledge, correct me if i am wrong) seen anything from them.

1 there was a lot of similar fake news recently.
2 CEOs of Chinese exchanges said they haven't seen any document
3 There is no real proof and no government official to confirm
4 Nobody wants to take responsibility for the news naming himself as the source
5 Chinese government said the previous (similar) news were FAKE

http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/21h8sw/china_news_is_fake_human_translation_from_okcoin/



Was one of the 1st things I read this morning, however in the article it does say

"The requirement, which Caixin saw in a document the central bank's headquarters recently sent to regional offices"

Which makes me think that it's not been circulated to exchanges yet.

Also, even if it had hit exchanges, can we really trust them to deliver the information straight away?

I'm as bullish as the next man and not one to troll or spread FUD, i'm simply stating that this should not just be dispelled as "lies" or "rumour" and that it could be true.

I, like most on here hope that it is BS

I believe that the two rallies in 2013 were caused by the opening of the Chinese market, which created huge demand for BTC and sucked coins out of the Western markets.  If the ban is real (I am not convinced yet) most of the coins in the Chinese exchange accounts may be moved to the non-Chinese exchanges.  So I think this may well happen:

The black line is an exponential fitted by eyeball in log scale to the Bitstamp prices before April 2013.

But I think this it is just a possibility, I would not bet on it.  It is hard to guess what the big holders and investors will do: whether they will buy all the Chinese bitcoins, or dump those they already have.


Thanks, I am holding either way, I've made 25 x what i initially invested so am pleased with that, but interested to hear what the plausible outcomes could be. People on Western exchanges would be mad not to buy up these cheap coins, but what do I know!?

...interesting stuff btc6000.


I still don't think we'll see any significant rally till after the 15th just my $0.02

A spike and chance for a quick short before the 15th is likely though.

Agreed and even then i think the market will still be very nervous waiting for official guidelines about BTC.

Bobby Lee summed it up really well in one of the Coin summit videos when he suggested that China would be more likely to provide guidance and "get on board" once America has set up their frameworks (Something that does seem to be happening)

I dont think that tonight is the night for a large rally either, but I do think that the new uptrend will have begun before the 15th. In that case, time is quickly running out for the market to reach new lows.

On the 15th, good news or bad news, that will likely be the last opportunity to buy cheap coins (if we are still at 400) as the 'chinese ban' theme comes to an end.

I think the market will prepare for this, and we will be at 550 before next Wednesday, and back at home in the 600s within 2 weeks.

I like how this plays out, but I am not sure about the 600s within 2 weeks. Don't forget, we still have the Gox fall out and Mark's day in court to come before we see that come to anywhere near a conclusion.

OK, the "news" moved the market down, but nobody is really moving it back up.

People are still questioning the validity of it. In these types of events I tend to use Twitter to monitor sentiment, I know when capitulation is coming as the amount of questions and articles around the subject slow down, which in turn makes people forget, or at least puts them at ease.

If you check Twitter at the moment there's a regular surge of "Is this real?" Was a few hours back when it first posted and is now doing the rounds again, likely because of difference in time zones.

We'll see what the Chinese have to say when they wake up, I am sure the merchant bank will get asked the same questions and someone will post something else.

The market needs a resting period after the china fiasco is finally settled, then good news will actually find fertile ground again

I agree, we've had such a shit 2014 so far.

December - China ban is announced
January - China ban deadline
February - Literally a week after the China ban, Mark and his pals from Gox stop withdrawals with this lasting the whole month until they go bankrupt at the end
March - China 2: The empire strikes back (Part 1) is announced
April - China 2 deadline

It's easy to see why we are dropping and why good news isn't making any difference with this hanging over us.
Next week we should see the China ban play out and someone from Gox visit the USA to appear in court, once that's over and done with this dampening effect will wear off and good news should begin to make a difference again.

True.True.

I can only say that over the last three months I have observed such a dramatic change in the comments below bitcoin related articles in one of Austria's biggest news websites.
In 2013 at least 95% of the comments were people harassing the idea of bitcoin etc, now the comments are 80% pro bitcoin. And there's at least an article about bitcoin every three weeks it seems.

For what it's worth in my surroundings the idea seams to be spreading fast and gaining positive ground. Heck even my grandmother recently asked me if I know anything about this 'virtual money'..

edit: but for now the price seems to not have found it's ground yet and I will remain fiat until this China nonsense is dealt with

100% on the mark! Well in my opinion anyway. I can't read charts very well so my TA is pretty bad and I rely on looking at what others have written and coming to a conclusion myself based on what I can assess via sentiment which I can read fairly well.

The day my Mum rang me asking me what a "Mt Gox was and if they had stolen all my bitcoins" was the day I realised that BTC is beginning to reach the masses. Everytime I go and see my family it pops up in conversation now and members of my family who work in banking (not high up, or investment banking, just regular tellers) are becoming more and more interested and even tell me little bits about mentions from within their places of work etc.

I am by no means bearish at the minute, and believe we have a way to go until we do see the bottom as if you look on Twitter, Reddit etc there are still a lot of questions rather than statements/ news stories with proper sources and we have no clue as to how next week, or even the weekend are going to play out, but anyone that thinks we are going to be staying at the bottom for a long time is deluded in my opinion.

The price will go down, because this spike wasn't caused by new money entering the system, but by moving around of some money that was already in the system. And it's not a lot that's in, so it was only a matter of time when the rise gets exhausted and starts to fall back. I think that we will see some low volume aftershock waves today, and maybe even tomorrow, but it won't be long when the price drops back to sub 400. As long as there isn't new money coming in, then it's a bad call to just sit on BTC. Only thing to hope for is that the drop will be fast and not slow and ugly, like it has been for the past months.

What's this concern with the money entering the system being "new"?  It's as if you think all of the people who cashed out during the double ATH withdrew to their fiat accounts and have washed their hands of Bitcoin.  There is a lot of money on the sidelines.

By the sounds of it, my advice to you would be to sell all of your coins and never come back.  Surely it's the end of Bitcoin since no new money is coming in and it's going to be a slow grind downwards.  The peanuts you'll earn trading isn't worth the risk of losing your capital.  Just leave now and keep your money safe.

First we have to look at the constant stable supply. In the last 24 hours, 188 blocks were mined with 1 block bringing 25 new BTC into existance. Now we get that 188 * 25 = 4700 new BTC came out that need to be bought or held. With the current prices, most of it will be held not sold, because you wouldn't get any ROI and it has been like that for several months.

Beg to differ here, look at KNC, they have a large share of the network now and said in an interview that they sell all of their coins on a daily basis.

Also, we are on the cusp of a lot of the 1st generation units from big boys becoming unprofitable, before the 2nd generation comes online in a few months. Most will have already returned on their investment, I know I did a long time ago.

I also dispute your "no money entering the system" point. I sell a portion of my mined coins every week, to pay bills and to live off (to a degree) I don't bother with exchanges for these types of transactions and use Local Bitcoins etc. When the bubble was in full swing I was regularly selling to the same people over and over again, but since January, and more and more in recent weeks I have been buying to people who have not bought before. I know that Local Bitcoins is not an exchange, but it suggests to me that the average Joe is not sick and tired of hearing about BTC, and new people are buying.

But every article that quotes bitcoin from China , no matter the rest is driving the price down lately. It was funny first but now is annoying.

I'm never one to buy into the old cliche's of "Weak hands selling their coins for cheap" etc. But today, I believe that is exactly what is happening.

Summarised, the news is a rehash of the information that's been readily available this week about certain banks closing down accounts that were connected with Chinese exchanges. This is not new information, most of it is available to read on here, Reddit and in some cases on the actual exchange websites.

My opinion Is Yes, Some Chinese people are cutting their losses and leaving, however I also think there's a degree of the drop Is people knowing that volume will be low because of Easter/bank holidays and taking advantage of this.

Also, like I've mentioned before, these news stories are still doing the rounds, just look at Social media. It'll take a few days for those to be forgotten about. Sentiment in the West seems to be picking up a bit, look at the surveys on here and Reddit, both indicative of a bullish, bit realistic sentiment.

Look, man. My post wasn't sarcastic. I was ACTUALLY asking you to make a comprehensive case. The fact that you respond by saying that I am "offended" and "dreaming" and "wrong" and offered no further bull evidence makes you look the like the one who is defensive and scared. Yeah, I made a bad trade at 475 that I admitted to. Does that make the bull case stronger? Of course not. That was on me, not the market. I didn't follow my own rules in that one particular case.

But you are the one that is coming across as desperate. I don't give a flying f*** if we go up or down from here personally. I was simply asking you to make a comprehensive case. But you seem only interested in congratulating yourself on catching this wave up. Whatever.

I think you need to work on your sarcasam skills.

desperate? me? I bought at 484, remember? Im pretty comfy. Im on a roll.

so you dont like your bad trades being poked at? hmm interesting. I haven't made any promises, so I really wouldn't feel the same. if you want to come poke fun at me in a couple of days ill be here, but at this rate, Im not going to forget this either.

Ive made a comprehensive case but you wouldn't remember the details. you seem to have made up your mind.

lol. whatever. I have about 100x times more at stake on exchanges than you do. Of course I care. I can't afford to have some unreasonable market bias.

I dont want to poke fun at you. That's the point. I was just hoping you could offer more comprehensive analysis. I won't ask again.

No need to argue, I think we can all agree that we want btc to continuously rise to significantly higher levels than we are at right now. I for one don't believe that the current market price is representative of the mass adoption that we have seen over the past few months. Yes we have had a fair share of bad news out of China, and a few other countries, but the amount of money being poured into the ecosystem developing new apps and btc businesses is not yet reflected in our prices. Once more of these startups are up and running, it is simple logic that we will see a ton more daily transactions, and therefore see higher prices.

Perhaps the market is not going to retest 340. But it certainly doesn't look like its going up.  Here we are, the day all the fresh fiat was suppose to carry us higher and we are drip drip dripping downward.

We may be in a slow grind to nowhere for a while.



I agree with your points but don't think new Fiat would have hit yesterday with the bank holidays, I did transfers to Kraken on Saturday and they haven't cleared yet and they are normally really quick.

my guess would be that people expect a 200,000 btc liquidation, some are hoping to front run and hope to buy back in on the panic sell.



Abundance of cheap coins, I welcome you wholeheartedly  Cheesy

And many believed it would take 2-3 yrs for liquidation to roll on, guess Mr kobayashi wants his legal fees to be paid ASAP:

"The bankruptcy trustee will implement the bankruptcy proceedings, in which the assets of
the bankrupt entity will be managed and converted into cash"


Wonder who'll buy them? I doubt they are going to stick them on an exchange.

I just thinking to buy more machines. If that graph really goes down and with more difficulty, did calculate in bitcoinwisdom, its never ROI. 1 TH with price almost 3500 USD (include shipment and tax). How the hell people still buy more machines ?

The price going down is not a guranteee! That was just Teras prediction.
I'm not even predicting how far it's going to drop - just that it needs to find volume. It could be at 400 and that would be lovely.

My prediction is either above 400 or below 300.  It either ends soon (in the next 30 days) or it gets ugly.

Its just that why people have guts to buy 3000 usd + (and some with 9000+) while its not certain, are should I say 50:50. Because I dont, except im multimillion dollar rich... Is it just I cant see the picture or they dont use calculator. Please make me wanna buy 1TH dragon / 1TH S2 antminer... Really need suggestion I can think before I sleep...

Because that would drive the price down too far and result in loss for the sellers. Its much better to dump little by little and let the market re-stabilize inbetween. There is no hurry so far the deadline is still some days away

In the current climate, I'd say that falls more into the category of 'not bad news' rather than 'good news'.

It is good news for bitcoin bad news for the price of bitcoin. in that dirty money rents a miner, mines clean bitcoins, sells clean bitcoins for clean cash.

the net result will be selling pressure on bitcoin, but a growing network. so cheep coins

Anyone renting a miner is not going to be able to sell a large amount of coins. 3THS only gets you about 0.19BTC a day with this difficulty.

They can sell them for CNH. Of course is not the same than CNY, but they can keep trading with their currency.
But can they withdraw the CNH from BTC-e to their mainland bank account?

The secondary problem is,
form China will comes a lot new bitcoins to Bitstamp and BTC-e and it will crash the price.
Just check fake Huobi volumes !

If the Chinese exchanges are going to close, where would they sell them?  For most Chinese, the non-Chinese exchanges must be as viable as the Chinese ones are for Westerners.
Logic,  Chinese people will sell all on Bitstamp.
Arbitragers and some other clients will do that.  But most Chinese clients would need to open a bank account in the West in order to withdraw dollars from Bitstamp, and then will have to convert those dollars to CNY so that they can spend them at home.  Since the price at Bitstamp is unlikely to go much higher than now in the near future, many will rather sell now at Huobi.

What about Btc-e?

They can sell them for CNH. Of course is not the same than CNY, but they can keep trading with their currency.

The problem is the next,

In Chinese banks, incoming funds from BTC-e, Bitstamp or any exchange will be baned.

They are in most countries, look around at people receiving payments from exchanges and having their accounts banned. That is why I deal with Kraken, the payments come via SEPA from "Payward Ltd"

Today Bitpay is coming with a huuuuuge announcement right?

We will see. It is the new crypto trend to pre-announce announcements and not deliver.

It will just hurt bitpay to tweet about something big and then go silent.
They don't want to ruin their reputation  , I hope.

Where did you hear this? I couldn't see anything about an incoming announcement on their Twitter. If they do have anything to announce they'd keep it until the conference this week surely?

Check their twitter.

It's not really an announce but it's a hint something will come. And that thing is big =))))
But i'm really worried about how big or small this might turn to be.

Amazon won't be accepting Bitcoin any time soon, there are no few benefits for them to do so. Have you ever used their one click checkout? It's easier and nicer to use than paying for anything with BTC.

Are we in the midst of a pump and dump? Considering the lack of volume one wouldn't think so but with the price having been slightly increasing since about 20:00 EST last night until now I'm wondering if a dump is in our near future?

Wild guess: mild interest from Bitcoin 2014 conference in Amsterdam (which so far has not made any big news at all). And maybe some demoing of ATMs going on over there.

Better safe than sorry. You really should. Remember that here even in january when the insolvency of Gox where obviously obvious there were still people to tell you there is no evidence and to believe there is a good reason for them to delay USD, euros, yens and bitcoins withdrawals. Just make a cold storage instead of trusting anyone, that is the point of Bitcoin.

Didn't they pass a solvency audit prior to the fall of Gox?

This has to be the weakest bull trap I've ever seen. It will break soon followed by several more weeks of sideways down trending. TERA tried to tell you all this but you drove her away for having a "contrarian" opinion.

You're so right, man!  My bitcoin that was worth $588 yesterday is only worth $570 today!!!  What a devastating crash, a btc crash to end all crashes!!


(In. case. you. can't. tell. that. was. mega. sarcasm.)

And it was worth $600 a couple weeks ago and worth $630 a week before that and $680 only a couple months ago. You're welcome to keep holding if you'd like, but smart people are reducing their exposure right now.

...and $450 three months ago. Forgotten that?  Grin

Well, I think that represents where we're going again over the next few weeks. You need to remember that in May everyone was calling for the next huge rally in late July. There were graphs and TA everywhere calling it, and much of it looked quite convincing. All it took was a small spark to ignite that frenzy up to $680, but when nothing materialized, investors lost hope again.

What do we have to look forward to now? There are some half heartedly calling for a bubble in October or November, but I don't think they even really believe it. We're all just blindly hoping now, so I think a return to the April/May price levels (or lower) is just about inevitable now.

I believe you are wrong. Time will tell.

if people would really believe that gabi has an incredible impact the price would be much higher, or do you think they want to buy AFTER gabi puts in their 200mil?

I doubt GABI will matter that much from that perspective. If/When they start buying in mid Sept/ October on exchanges and not directly from miners it will not likely make headlines. Yes we may see improvements in volume and price, but in terms of main stream adoption the average Joe is not very likely going to be aware of it even happening, unless the unlikely happens and it is a catalyst for a bubble and it's picked up by mainstream media citing "The return of Bitcoin" but even then I doubt we are going to see people jumping on board like October/ November last year: A./ Because $500 is still a lot for the average "non investor" to gamble on something and B./ Gox, which did make mainstream news has killed a lot of trust in Bitcoin.

I am not writing Bitcoin off at all, I believe in it and as of the end of September will be running a 50TH/s mine (30 as of this week) so do have an invested interest, but I don't think GABI or money from UAE are going to make that much difference in terms of the adoption that Bitcoin actually needs to succeed.

Monkey is planning to touch 444 again.

I don't trade BTCUSD lately, personally.  I do buy BTC to spend, and try to save a little sometimes.

I can't really see BTCUSD climbing much, or for long, until COIN is listed.  It would be against the interests of the large accumulators for that to occur.  There is an obvious watershed event planned, and everyone who is well-able to suppress a market has been provided advance notice of that event.  They've been granted open season to make bank large.  What else could possibly occur?

Holders can take comfort in the fact that they have no intention to break the coin.  Quite the opposite.




Cheers! Out of interest, does monkey support your COIN theory as well? I'd be really happy if this happened. I'm not calling out for a bubble, just an easier nights sleep. At the moment I feel like it's January again, I think it's because I am actively mining again.

My 40TH/s mine only cost me £4000 and I worry endlessly about it, can't imagine how some of the larger mining operations cope.

Looking at the order book on Bitstamp, I think we're primed for another dump sometime today.

I am not disputing that there'll be a dump, but I wouldn't ever base anything on the Order book. The last time we were in this position things on the books changed very quickly.

I feel dumpers running out of ammo, and shorts will have to cover soon.

This thing could bounce like a Mofo.

Also one of the things i've been reading for months and months.

Dumpers out of ammo.
Weak hands shaken out soon.
We're near the bittom.
Etc.

one has to admit that's true

True that, it's like a bottomless well of despair

The volume of this sell off is still nowhere near of that of the previous major lows.


that tells me that we are far far away from bottoming.



i would expect the volume of this capitulation to be lower than the april one.

Same.. April was genuine panic "China" etc. This time there's no obvious reason, aside from sheep following dumpers.

I wonder where falllling is right now

Crying in a corner. Always happens with Bear trolls on here, they call for drops and then when it does happen, more then they expected they begin to panic, posting questions about "When it will all end??"

Noobs!

If you've been into Bitcoin for more than 18 months, this kind of thing should be water off a ducks back. I run a mining operation and I'm not panicking, it's business as usual. Yeah I am a bit annoyed that when I have to settle up my electricity for the month it's going to be a few more Bitcoin than I originally thought, but I know we aren't going to be this low forever.

Good the winter is comming You will not have to cool those mining machines Smiley

My only overhead is electricity for cooling and powering the machines, the cooling will be easier in the next few months yes. I'm the only person I know that's praying for the temperature outside to drop! Hahah If it drops lower and difficulty goes higher, obviously the lifespan of my machines shortens dramatically and thus I get less profit than I originally forecasted, but due to my business model, I normally break even on my hardware within a few days, so I don't have that to worry about Cheesy

So anyway, we're just a few days away from an event that should begin to provide buying pressure to Bitcoin.  Still a chance we could go a great deal lower until this happens.  After that, I expect the ramp up that began on 10/2/2013.  I'll let you know when the day hits.


OK, I am letting you know.  The event has occurred.  No, it wasn't the Scotland vote.  I expect us to begin slowly ramping up now.


End of USG/FED QE?

No.  It's much more subtle than that.  But it has happened at the start of every bubble rally.


Spill the beans, I am very interested in hearing your theory.

Wish we had an etf to invest in already. Then i could buy through my trading account and keep it in my tax free wrapper. Grr. Smiley

Lovely 400 + dump on a Sunday evening just now!

I am loosing a ton of money but at least I feel alive.

well if you don't count the fact I was stabbed in the back by KNC on NO ROI TITAN scrypt miner (hey nun to porn star hard to protect against treachery)

anyway it has to dump below $150 usd for me to be hurting....but at this point it looks like my price is being 'stalked' so to speak

does not bode well

(curls back up into whimpering ball)



95% of your posts mention Knc

Wall Street Journal:

"Tim Draper: I am pretty impressed that my bids that were 15% above the current market weren“t successful. However i am going to market buy those 50k on BTC-E, like NOW!"

http://online.wsj.com/articles/tim-draper-dissapointed-that-he-lost-the-second-auction-1417471759

Damn troll that link doesnt work Angry

But the word "disappointed" in the URL is misspelled.  A minimally self-respecting troll would not make that mistake. That detail strongly implies that the article was real and was written by a typical WSJ reporter.
