Topic: 2014 is NOT the year of bitcoin, sorry - page 5. (Read 19639 times)
2014 is the year of start of adoption of BTC.
Everyone's expectations after 2013 were just way too high. This is the year of FUD! Mark my words, we're gonna be riding a shit storm all the way through the end of 2014.
EVERYONE NEEDS TO WORSHIP ME OR APOLOGIZE BECAUSE I WAS RIGHT!!! Especially all the IDIOTS in the first few pages lmao. I know exactly what will happen in 2015 as well, but you guys don't deserve my predictions
Jesus...
Do you realize we are 11.5% through the year?
That's about 42 days.
Last year's meteoric rise from 200 to 1200 took place in less time than that.
The fact is nobody has a fucking clue what is going to happen despite you thinking you know otherwise.
You are not an Amazon.com executive who is "in the know" about the next big move, you are not the FBI agent with his finger on the sell button for those Silk Road coins, you are not a professor of economics, are you are not Marty fucking McFly.
In July the price could be nearing $2,000 and every post will be talking about how close we are to "da moon". Nobody knows.
I don't like the speculation forum - I only use it a few minutes each day to fantasize about $100,000 Bitcoins, then I snap back into reality. Welcome to it.
Edit: Nevermind, I'm like 90% sure I just got trolled.

No...... 90% sure you got schooled, because I was right and you were wrong
I use a bit of logic and some common sense and I always end up being right. People posting highly complex TA and charts are bullshitting you and themselves, they don't know jack and I'd stop listening to them if I were you.
Be careful, you are falling prey to hindsight bias. Well done on your prediction, but do not let it go to your head. The moment you convince yourself that you always end up being right is the moment you lose the doubt that keeps your ideas critical and acts as the selective force for accurate predictions.
To be fair what is your definition of a good year for Bitcoin?
Aside from the year not being out yet, it is fair to say that there has not been much positive momentum in terms of Bitcoin's exchange price, sure, but there's as many places as ever to spend your coins and there are more people aware of Bitcoin in some capacity.
For something that has been dragged through the mud it is doing alright. Given that the highs of 2013 were manipulated by Gox I would say that benchmarking market value against those highs would be foolish.

BUMP again for the truth.
It's October 2014 tomorrow. This year is 75% over. BTC is currently at ~$380...

Expecting another huge jump is almost too predictable. I feel like bitcoin has always been unpredictable/
I have a feeling we could see a slow year just like 2012, or even a first time negative trend the whole year (with increased FUD, bad news and more resistance form banks/govs). This could be the year that is unexpected, where more and more people lose confidence and start falling off the train, and only the true believers or delusional hopefuls continue to hold on. But once most people realize bitcoin brings financial control in the hands of individual, it will skyrocket. Most people again will miss the train again.

The year is not over!, anything can happen in 4 months.
Yep!!!
We went from $2 (November 2011) to $1242 (November 2013) in 2 years!!!!!

August, and the OPs prediction is panning out so far for 2014...
2014 may not be the year of the Bitcoin price, but it sure as hell is a good year so far for Bitcoin acceptance and services.
Hate to say it but looks like you have been right so far, but everything could change. If we got one big merchant involved like ebay or amazon I'm sure the price would go back up as fast as it came down.
Merchant adoption helps bitcoin in the longterm because it makes bitcoin more "legit", more people become aware of bitcoin, and people find incentive to use bitcoin when more merchants support it.
But don't expect news about merchant adoption to cause a rally, it really shouldn't.
Im not concerned if it isnt. It will eventually hit mainstream adoption. Poster above is right tho.

That will make zero difference. 2014 has clearly shown that average investors give a rat's ass about merchant adoption, because few people, if any, are joining the bitcoin economy just to convert from cash and spend them. It's mostly just long time holders spending them.

This is the year that's gonna test your will and shake off the weak hands. This year will weed off the people who jumped into bitcoin thinking they will earn a quick buck, those who thought bitcoin's price just goes up every year like it's a pattern set in stone. I'm sure a lot of them jumped off by now thanks for mt. cox (btw-- the price is $635 right now... imo a good buy even if we go down further). The ones who remain will be the ones who believe in bitcoin for the longterm.
Let's be honest here... 2013 was the year of bitcoin. 2014 not so much... I think 2015 might be the next "year of bitcoin" ...Wrinklevoss ETF and Wallstreet might trigger the next rally, and that won't happen this year.
Did you expect everyone to safely ride the train to 10k? No. Only the ones who take the risk and hold on might enjoy the ride to $10K.. and even that is not a surefire bet anymore.

Looks like I was right yet again, as usual... all the haters who gave me shit for saying 2014 was not going to be a good year for BTC, what do you say now?
+1/2 (only because 2014 is not over yet, you'll get the other 1/2 if we don't break the ATH)
But in general, I approve this gloating.

We say you have a short year on your planet.

we hit the bottom at 400. the following wave has never taken more than 6 months to take of to new ATH's and the moon. we will see $1000 BTC and $10000 BTC in the same year - this year.
Would YOU like to make a bet?
I'll betcha my entire stash that Bitcoin stays below $10,000 Bitstamp for the rest of 2014.
hmm no Ill pass thanks, cos 10,000 is actually a very strong resistance. what about 7k? id make a small bet. but it would hurt you more than me to fork over bitcoin at that price!
Okay - I'll bet you 0.5 BTC that the price stays below $7,000 (Bitstamp) until 2015.
*VIRTUAL HANDSHAKE* if you accept.

I did in fact make that bet. I know that one or two other regs here did as well.
