There's a buying entry point coming in the next 12-24 hours.  
Or just wait a week and buy sub $400 on Gox and sub $500 everywhere else.

No. Once Stamp and Gox green light withdrawals we are going up and fast. Sure you can gamble all you want about when that will happen, but currently Gox is approaching $455 that is MAJOR resistance. It is going to bounce on that.
How are you determining that "resistance," depth charts? That shit just literally cut in half as I was typing this. From one day to the next we're closing at lower lows. What happened to all that resistance at $600 and $550?

What? $455 was the December crash low.
I'm looking at a 30 day spread here, there are 0 signs of significant resistance relatively speaking, but feel free to prove me wrong I'd love to be convinced otherwise. Any help timing the bottom is always appreciated.

I don't trade because i'm always wrong.
It's just hilarious to see how someone who thinks he can predict Bitcoin is so completely wrong. And so fast. I like to rub it in.
Maybe he will think twice next time before acting like he knows it all based on drawing some lines.
Relax buddy, it's just his opinion.

All that volume on Huobi and only 10% to the upside and starting to fizzle? That doesn't look good to me, on top of the fact that this "ATM" work around will not only take time to have any sort of legitimate impact, but will likely be cut off at the knees before anything materializes.

Pretty soon everyone will realize that even $300 is a very likely level of stability, if not mid-200s. The sooner everyone realizes that there's just no basis for this valuation (or the capital in-flights to support it), the better.

No basis...because you say so?
Basis is because this is the likely point of stable growth had China not had their mass adoption that sent the price through the roof. As they exit, the valuation will reset to it's previous trend. And in my opinion, that's in the $200-300 zone.

I guess the bold sentence qualified you more.
No, it made his attempt at making me look like I don't think BTC is worth shit completely void. If I thought it wasn't worth $35, why would I have held to mid-3 figures? Why would I think it's worth $300 and not $1? It's called sensibility and observation, something conflicts with the permabulls sacrosanct predictions in the Church of Bitcoin.

Seriously, wtf? Do you really think I give a shit that some random nobody umpteen miles away from me that I'll never know or care to know ignores me?

Sounds as if you are butt hurt b/c you sold in the $300s, when the price went to $1,100s and a lot of guys made more money than you.

That's o.k. No BIG dea... we each come to our own conclusions about when to buy and when to sell.  So if you decided to sell BTC, then you can leave this conversation and this thread, no?

Or do you just want to stick around and attempt to bring the market down or to spread fFUD so that you can feel better?
I'm butt hurt? I guess you're one of the slow kids. I voice an opinion and got railed by wannabe bullies on the internet calling me a retard and attempting to hurt my e-feelings by proclaiming they were going to ignore me. I guess if you call me getting lambasted because I made an innocuous comment that was obvious opinion being butt hurt, yea. I'm totally butt hurt. And no, I didn't sell in the $300s.

Well maybe I misread your posts?  I see no reason for any posters to brag.. and even for posters to come out with guns ablazing in a quasi-anonymous forum.  

When  posters make extreme claims, then other posters are going to get irritated.  I thought that some of your postings were extreme and attempts at being insulting.

I would rather share actual information and real predictions rather than posturing(s), but maybe that's just me?   Wink

Ultimately, it is up to you whether you prefer to engage in an adult dialogue, even if or when other people are throwing around derogatory comments.
I know, I know. The internet is srs bizniss.

I didn't brag, and I didn't make an extreme claim. If you think my opinion that a fair valuation of BTC is $300 is extreme, then I don't know what to say but let it go. No need to call me a retard or ignore me.

Big money has been trying to support the price of BTC for quite awhile, in hopes of creating some sort of stable environment for new money to feel comfortable stepping in after that painful fall from $1200... the funny part is they're losing so much money in the process and it won't help. The move from ~$350 to ~$650 was not warranted, so much of it will naturally be erased.

They may have been keeping the price "stable" by holding the price down too.  The benefit for them to do that is to keep the price lower so that they can purchase coins off the exchange for a much better price.  I think we will have this little panic sell-off only to be surprised by how quickly the price can rise again.  

Glad I am going on vacation next week.  Hopefully I can return to a better Bitcoin price. Wink


And how are they keeping the price down?

For every sell there is a buy. If you actually think about it, I win when they sell into my bids. It means I got the price I wanted, not the other way around.
I'm not an idiot. If it drops to $10 you could say the same silly argument. The point is that it's not being MAINTAINED at any of the "cheap" points people keep touting. Whether it's $550, $525, or $500. And it'll keep slipping, because to expect ~$1.5million in new capital every single day is preposterous at such an early stage of BTC's life.

There's a simple question: If over the course of a couple weeks, supply (BTC) increases and demand (USD) decreases, would you have us not adjust prices because that would be "manipulation"?

Also, if manipulation is so easy, why aren't the Winklevosses or other large holders who are no longer accumulating doing their own manipulation upwards?

It's really getting pathetic, guys.
Glad I'm not alone on this.



46. Post 8367916 (copy this link) (by njcarlos) (scraped on 2020-04-04_Sat_13.05h):

The basic truth is that until we have like 6 months of stable sideways movement, you will not be seeing confident inflight of new capital at rates high enough to maintain current valuations. It just won't happen. I still think that, as a whole, we completely overestimate the competency and computer literacy of the vast majority of the general public. I have friends that are quite tech savvy that still don't fully understand how to buy, or use, BTC, let alone what's going on under the hood. For that reason, the BTC bubble will be extremely painful to many people. I can see a gradual fall all the way to low to mid $300s.

Sounds to me that some people here bought at the top, and are pretty eager to blame somebody. Risto hasn't been the only one saying the price of BTC is going through the roof. The Winklvii said ~$50k...hell, even the BoA said the fair value was $1300. Don't blame others because you're a moron and can't make your own decisions. This is the speculation thread, right?
I've been making fun of him from the day he said it was going to $100k within a 12 month span. I don't let that die because from that point on I knew he makes decisions entirely on a whim.

his analyse style ( not drawing dumb lines on charts, actually looking into the details compiling data to get info, trying hard to paint an accurate picture of the market ) does not lend itself to the short term.
I missed that in his pregnancy-theory thread. I do remember something like "we can give maybe ~1 year to that" -- seems pretty subjective and squishy to me.

Like why did we go from $590 last week to $309 without any big news?
To be fair, there is not much pressure from the buy side. I imagine there are a lot of people wanting to cut losses or take some profits they hadn't yet and were holding out for some rally. The market is looking quite bearish. For all of the cheap coin talk, there are very few people rushing in to scoop up these coins or we'd still be above $500 or $600.

Price leads sentiment. You may correlate the newsflow with market movements but they aren't really relevent. If the price starts going up bitcoin will do its thing - again.

Reality is a sufficient amount of people have been burned to a serious degree by the last run up and it will take months if not a full year of relatively* stable sideways movement or slow & steady growth before confidence is restored. Someone is desperately attempting to coerce or accelerate that by trying to prop up the price. They don't have the money to do it, as much as they might think they do. The fact that they resort to these walls is actually pretty pathetic.

Dell, Paypal that I would have had wet dreams about joining bitcoin a year ago, have little to no impact on the price as it continues to edge it's way down. A lot more people have money in Bitcoin they want to get out then money exists on the order book. There is a bottom to it somewhere but pissed of panic stricken investors will severely overshoot that mark on one dark day soon. Low buy orders doubling up as you go further down from i'd say a starting point of about 200-250 depending on how much of a gambler you are!

Also be aware their could be regulatory repercussions proposed (under the guise?) to protect investors as a result of a big burst in Bitcoin.

(I'd look for the average value(s) of about 5 decent feeds of clean, logical common sense and use your own judgement too)
Agreed (mostly), but sadly your common sense isn't so common. Going below $200-250 is more bearish than I.

See, contrary to popular belief on this forum, I don't believe that the price is being suppressed. Quite the contrary, I believe it's being propped up by some whale or investment firm at certain price points. It happened at 430, 400, 380, and some at 375. There would be these "buy ups" consistently, for hours, on each momentary downturn. Again at the breach of 370, I'm expecting to see some effort by this entity to add some support. It could very well be some allocated amount of investment at each level, and will continue as far down as we go (versus someone consciously trying to support the price). These larger bid walls on the way down suggest where they are making their investments/stands. 365 is the next, and then 360. They will all, in my opinion, have 24-48 hours of support until their allocated spend has dried up. End result? We'll be going lower, probably to $325 or lower depending on broader market sentiment. I think absolute bottom (as a result of some capitulation) is probably $200.

we are doomed!
I'm fighting off the urge to cut my losses and accumulate a bit more later on. I think if we breach $360 I'll be doing that... it's hard not to. I lose money everytime I try to time downturns but this feels a bit different for some reason. Might still just hold and accumulate w/ fresh fiat if we go much lower. This paranoia isn't helping Sad

NJCarlos:   What's your average buy price per BTC including transaction fees?   Are you in the red or in the black?
I'm actually playing with gains at this point. My initial investment is currently on the sidelines in fiat. If I wait until $350 and put my initial investment back in, I imagine my average cost per coin would be around $150 or 200, since I have been buying small quantities at specific intervals since $420-430. All in all, I'm not in a bad position, and since I'm playing with gains (no disrespect to anyone that's in the red), I'm inclined to hold and not attempt to time the bottom. Instead, I'll try to time the bottom with additional fiat. That's my gut feeling atm, at least.

It's all about FOMO now. People know the difference between paying $250 or $350 BTC is going to reach new ATHs is negligible. But if you keep waiting for $250 you may never even pull the trigger at $350 and just completely miss out, and be nothing more than another "I wish" story later down the line.
Keep dreaming. There will be no such rally like last time. Not in the immediate future, at least (read immediate as 2-3 years). Enough people were exposed to the last run up and slaughter that the "FOMO" will be curbed by the "oh yeah, several thousand people lost their shirts last time, let's wait and see what happens" effect.

I'm not expecting a rally right now. But I'm also not going to wait until $500-$700 "to be a confirmed up trend" before I buy again. That defeats the purpose of being heavily involved in a market. If I'm looking at charts and have no idea what is going in the market, then I'll play strictly by TA. But being involved with BTC and seeing everything that has come, either I cost average down, (or up) from here out. My trading strategy seems to work in the long run. While I'm not calling peaks and minimums perfectly, I still gain with patience.

And for the record, I'm not exactly ready to pay $350+ myself yet, though $300 and less is a start buying for me.
I'm of the same belief as your last statement. My point was that the FOMO effect is far too premature. This massive correction won't just bounce off the floor and continue up perpetually. We will grind down and sideways for awhile before confidence returns to this market, and eventually FOMO might become relevant again.

Ok, your not a shit talker. You should have just called me out like you just did.People are responsible sure but they get led in the wrong direction all the time. That's not their fault. If not this forum where are you supposed to get advise on Bitcoin?
It's up to the individual to read everything they can, and come to their own conclusions. It's simple due diligence. You can't just come to this forum and expect to get sound financial advice. And if you think someone makes valid points, read their post history. See if they've ever been right. Or see if they just spout the same crap no matter the price (half the bulls in this section of the forum). Better yet, just use common sense. Sans a black swan event, it's pretty easy to gauge the sentiment of the community across here, reddit, and other sources. That, and a little math and the available network metrics. When X amount of coins are minted per day requiring Y amount of millions to sustain a price seems outlandish based on perceived sentiment, or the driving force behind a rally (China) is losing steam amidst disconcerting government announcements, hey, it's probably going down a bit. No need to listen to people shouting "cheap coins" when all this is staring you right in the face.

Yeah, that's all true. I have learned that slowly, oddly enough, from watching this thread. I think this forum controls Bitcoin price more than it should. This thread in particular is one that is a controlling force because people do make buy and sell decisions based on what they see here and it pops up every time at the top of "new forum posts" because it's the most active thread on the forum.
It scares me to think this forum (Speculation) is a market maker. I sort of refuse to believe it, but it may be true. If it is, everything is far more fragile than I thought.

I like the continuous to the moon talk even if it is total bullshit because that creates new money.
It does but, when done with poor timing in a correction, it also creates a lot of negativity because people start to lose value pretty quickly. That can just as quickly start a cycle of negativity that actually inhibits new money.

I think you under estimate the big money waiting to buy when people are loving the pure panic and fid that brought us here. Trends gotta play out but also have to end.
These plateau-like intervals, in my opinion, is the big money. I think they're the only reason the decline as been so tame. They're buying at certain price points and averaging on the way down. Likely buying up to some allocated amount, and then stopping. Which causes sideways movement and eventual sliding/dumping. I don't expect them (or want them) to sustain any one price. They'd lose money doing that, anyway. They've been losing a shit ton of money as it is.

I think the trend change is going to catch you out..
Possibly, but I'm only after a few more coins before I'm done accumulating (in this range). If we sustain $330-360 for a week or so, I'll just buy here and call it a day. If not, I'll likely buy as close to $300 as I can and wait to see what range becomes the next stable support, whether that's in the $200s or $400s, I'm not too worried. I'm definitely not worried about some massive rally into the $600s or higher. We'd need some seriously positive black swan event for that.

I dont understand how he thinks this has been a tame decline. But don't get me wrong I am not shouting this is the reversal as much as it will be a part of it. The only thing solidifying a reversal would be a big short squeeze.
I consider it tame because it's been over the course of about 8 months. If it was within a 2 or 3 month span, that'd be violent, imo.

Hmm, so nobody was buying when it was plummeting, suddenly a 30k wall appears, and this heavy buying pressure starts up out of nowhere and 30k coins are market bought within hours.

Of course, there's no way the dude bought a bunch of his own wall to spark a rally. I mean, come on, everyone knows only downward movement is manipulation, and all sellers are stupid and put up 30k walls when they actually want to sell as opposed to having a desire to manipulate the price.

TO DA MOON!
My thoughts exactly. They've done this many times before.

Edit: I should say, minus that massive ask wall. I think that was a brilliant move.

Just watch the advancing bid pool. It's obviously institutional when staggered walls of 500-2000 coins move up incrementally as they continue to eat away at asks. They're just trying to induce some panic buying after that 30k wall to shore up the market. Someone had to dam up the flood waters. The question is, what happens when all that money gets spent, because the community wasn't buying at these prices 3 days ago. Don't see them doing it for long now.

Don't take it that literally.  If everyone held, the supply would be zero, so, for *any* demand, the price would tend to infinity.  Because supply/demand.
Unfortunately even early adopters, at least those who are rational players, are subject to the prisoner's dilemma--whoever profit-takes last, profit-takes least.
Even ponzi schemes are certain to grow exponentially, and profit the early adopters, as long as everyone keeps believing, and there's an infinite supply of greater fools (in QuestionAuthority's words, "fresh money.")  
I understand but it's a pretty literal concept. Those last two concepts are more fitting, of course ;/

"bitcoin is here to stay"
"we would make a mistake if we would not do it" (i cannot exactly cite that one)
"And it just seems like based on what I have learned, some of those applications could be so compelling that it would be a real mistake for us as a commission to not make sure we are staying on top of these development's.
Not, because we want to do anything other than understand the developments because it seems like this protocol, the Bitcoin protocol or something like it is very, very likely here to stay.
So the more information and education we can do on this now in trying to stay somewhere on the appropriate spot of the learning curve, it seems to be a very sensible thing to do.
So I think that it has been very, very helpful and thank you for representing the CFCT staff and I will turn it back over now."

You are stupid annoying, 24/7 bitching. It wasn't a damn trend reversal, it was just some whale blowing his load on a market order. The same whale that's desperately attempting to absorb the selling pressure. You really should consider leaving BTC for a year or two, you're coming across super emotionally unstable at all times.

Possibly. I believe we will test $300 again because I believe the current price doesn't reflect true market sentiment. I believe some institution got their hands on some fresh sucker fiat to blow in attempts to stabilize the market. Whether it's $5 million or $50 million, I have no idea, but it's not unlimited that's what I do know. In any case, Buying at $400 after selling at $300 is not wise, you're trading on emotion. I believe we will see $350 again, and depending on how much fiat they pump in, maybe $300.

I have suggested watching the hash rate to find the bottom.  Why?  Well, if miners start taking machines offline, it affects supply by reducing the coins mined to the normal 3600 daily or less.  But more importantly, it indicates the lowest price that miners must sell at to make a profit (of course every miner will have a slightly different level).  Any lower and miners must hold and hope for a price increase.  To sell would guarantee that they couldn't pay the monthly bills.  That behavior could dramatically affect supply.
Won't there on average be 3600 coins mined daily regardless of hashing power? Not sure I understand this argument...

Allow some regulation, especially of businesses that store/hold bitcoin is good for the community as a whole. We don't want another Gox or inputs.io tragedy. As far as consumers go regulation will be light, and if it isn't well there is a reason why bitcoin is psuedoanonymous Cheesy
It's my belief that centralized regulations nurture apathy and a lack of personal accountability. To suggest that the free market wouldn't fill a void for "quality-proofing" an industry is misguided to me. Lots of people learned a valuable lesson from MtGox. Likely 90%+ of those people (including myself) won't make the same mistake again. That's progress, and it's positive. The more people learn through experience and adapt, the better. Coddling is negative.

Price is intermittently testing $470 on bitfinex, but back to 464 for now.
As usual, everyone focuses on the USD markets. Why? They dictate nothing. Watch CNY if you care to know what's happening in real time instead of derivatives. Unless of course, they decouple. But that's never happened to any significant degree.

Some of you guys will never learn. When the price rises 10% over a couple days, you need to ask yourselves, "has anything happened to justify this increase?" If the answer is no, then it's a pump and dump. Every previous rally was triggered by some type of event or sentiment. Chinese exchanges opening, the US government softening its position, or major retail adoption. But none of those matter anymore.

What's happening now that could possibility rally people to buy bitcoin? Increased competition from Apple Pay? More regulations incoming? So... basically nothing.

I'm not sure people truly appreciate or understand what a pump & dump is...

Someone buying up 1000 coins and then dumping 1000+ coins is actually retarded, and I don't really see how it achieves anything. Pump & dump is actually holding some asset at a reduced position, hyping everyone around you to buy (pump interest or puff, such as spammers did w/ penny stocks several years back), and then selling at a perceived apex (dump). That's not what's happening. What's happening is a lot of rich idiots with a lot of money to lose are, in fact, losing money to rich geniuses that are just taking it all off the table.

Also, even though I might be able to surmise this from your answer to the question above, what's your feeling on Bitcoin in general? Do you believe it's a pyramid scheme? Do you just believe it's overvalued? If so, what do you value it? Etc. I'd love to know...

I'm here because I speculate in Bitcoin.  I have repeated this so many times that I find it hard to believe you can't remember any of them.
Even with my understanding of the average mental state and capacity of the posters in this thread.

Re. "pyramid scheme," here's an abbridged definition from wikip:
"A pyramid scheme is an unsustainable business model that involves promising participants payment or services, primarily for enrolling other people into the scheme, rather than supplying any real investment or sale of products or services to the public."

The operative word here is "promises," of which Bitcoin makes none.  So the short answer is NO.

I hope this helps, but that hope is being tried each time I have to repost this Angry
The assumption is that I've seen it to remember. Which is false. Also that definition of a pyramid scheme is quite narrow... if the community at large involved with a particular asset are making promises, it would typically hold as much weight as a central figure in a narrowly defined "business" environment, due to group think.

So you speculate in bitcoin, you don't think it's a pyramid scheme, but really failed to elaborate beyond yet another assumption that something on Wikipedia is an absolute/definitive source of information. What is your broader opinion of Bitcoin?

Didn't I use 10k coins in my description in the post that you cut.

Further, some of these guys who want to manipulate the price of BTC downward are going to be willing to dump at a loss for an extended period of time to achieve their objectives.  They can continue to buy high and to sell low in order to dump strategically and to lose money and to scare people off of bitcoin because they dump strategically.

10k coins may be sufficient to manipulate for a month or so; however, 100k coins would be even better, and probably could manipulate for more than 6 months with 100k coins.
So 10k coins isn't "a lot" to you. Ok.

Edit: To be clear, I asked you what is a lot, not what isn't a lot.

Time to start paying attention.
The assumption is that I saw it, but wasn't paying attention, or that I didn't see it because I wasn't paying attention... both of which are again, false. You really like to make a lot of assumptions.

I'm not going to let this degenerate into another debate about wikip.  Take this shit up with wikipeedos.
Alternatively, offer me another definition of a pyramid scheme, and I'll tell you if Bitcoin falls under that definition.
Assumptions and selective attention. Not good. If you could, answer the question. That's the thing in my quote that ends with a question mark.

Now, the depth of corrections varies in a rally based on how overextended it is.
So I played around with a "heat index " that let the amount that you sold at price targets increase as you deviate farther from moving averages. This lets you sell more when you believe you are overextended, but again there are no guarantees.

 It's a little cryptic to use with no explanation, and it did not have a ton of interest back in the day. I can find a link to the thread that describes it if anyone is interested now.

 Regardless, it is an important topic, and one that is good to have a good plan for, before prices go crazy and emotions can take over. Also crucial is the tax considerations of your buys and sells, long versus short term capital gains, but I am neither a lawyer nor an accountant so that stuff and all formal recommendations are each individual's responsibility.
In that vein, what do you speculate is the max depth of any coming correction to this rally?

For me, that's the biggest benefit to the spreadsheet. I can be greedy by deferring some sales to later price points, but I never sell more than the limits set BY those price points.

...my best speculation is that in the long term, this rally peaks at $8,888, and corrects back to between $500 and $1000.
How can we learn more about this
