I think I prefer masterluc's count over that one. $120,000 here we come!
Miz4r, with all due respect, I like you now because I feel this bear market really humbled you. But you can prefer what ever you want, the market doesn't care what any of us want.
As I said in the "questionable" post... That was all approximated using currently available data, so it can change a bit up or down, left or right. It all depends on how things play out.
Hey I was just joking a bit, I know the market does whatever it wants to.
By the way was I ever not a humble person in here?
I know I was still quite inexperienced at trading back in April 2013 and have made some stupid mistakes and said silly things at times perhaps, but the crash from $266 to $50 in 2013 already humbled me quite a bit I think. I was never a permabull, although I know I've been too bullish sometimes. The bear market since December 2013 actually taught me how to become profitable at trading in downtrends as well as uptrends, it was and still is a good learning experience for me. But inside I will always be more of a bull because I want Bitcoin to do well and not hurt and scare away new people joining the scene who buy their very first coins. This explains my bias. I don't let that bias get in the way of my personal trading though, I have to stay more objective there or it's going to hurt my own wallet.
I apologize that maybe I mistook how I remember you from your earlier days. I thought I remembered you ranking up there with the inca's and jimbo's of the forum in tunnel visioned bullishness.
I don't want any of you guys to take me wrong. I am long term bullish. But I simply cannot idly watch as my coins depreciate when there is something I can do about it. I don't trade to remove fiat liquidity from the market. I do it to acquire more coins. I have pulled some money out to buy a car and start a business, but unless I HAVE to, I try not to.
When has a financial market moving in an S-curve ever been reality? No matter how the technology progresses, there will be ups and downs in this market. It was unfathomable by most that we would ever see $200 Bitcoins again. Now we are struggling to capture $300 and hold it. The fact is, there isn't always money coming in to fuel rally after rally. There will be lulls in adoption and during those times, it will likely have more selling pressure than buying pressure which causes lower prices. People also have different ideas of what they want to sell at. Some big and some small will sell at every stop along the way.
Look I'm not putting in doubt your TA or market analysis but for Bitcoin to stall at a 3-6 B$ market cap 5 years from now spells utter failure IMO.
You are seemingly looking at this only from a speculative POV. This is not a regular financial market driven only by speculation. We haven't seen s-curve in a market before because there was never one coupled to an underlying technology generating user adoption strictly from its innovative use cases. I will not argue that speculation is not what has driven this market so far since I do believe this to be true but this will not always be the case. Technological use-cases, once the infrastructure is installed, as well as socio-economic and geopolitical events will eventually be a driving force in this market.
If we believe that new users are entering the Bitcoin ecosystem everyday strictly off the merits of the technology then there is no sense in believing that the underlying currency market cap would stall or fall to that level 5 years from now (barring any considerable technical issues)
That all falls in EW analysis. When the masses learn about and decide to make the switch (partially or fully) that will be the mark of the Wave-III. This could be in the next few years, or at the larger degree [[III]] that would start some time around 2030. Even the infrastructure built on top of the blockchain can go through EW-esque waves of progress which will directly affect the aggressiveness of speculation during the meteoric rise of the 3rd wave, but eventually, the tech plateaus and speculation will be all that's left as far as price discovery.
