Topic: Are you bullish or bearish right now? - page 3. (Read 5731 times)

Last Chance to pick up cheap coins. Triangle is closing til 5/5 latest. next station 450-500

All we can do is hope my friend.

The odds are in our favour I think.

Winkle ETF
BIT Exchange
Gemini Exchange
NYC Bitlicense

All with the wheels in motion for approval/regulation.

I expect the price to be at least double what it is now within 6 months.
We then have the next halving in about 12-14 months.

Good times ahead I predict.

May I ask how you are exactly splitting up those investments? I think that BTC still has the biggest chances of a long-term success and it doesn't really make sense to hold Altcoins. But if you really believe in the future of a specific coin, I think it is totally alright to invest in it, but make sure not to bet too much on the wrong horse / apparent underdog.

This is an excellent period to improve one's portfolio with BTC and ac couple promising alts such as Maid and XMR. I can't wait for the end of the month to arrive so I can get paid and buy a bit more cheap ass BTC and a couple cool alts. This is how it's done. Then it's a holding game.

I have a feeling that in the next 12 months prices will rise, because in the last fall 200 hold pretty good, unlike the time when prices went to sub 200 level.

I am actually quite undecided at the moment. Things don't look exactly good, but on the other hand it seems like we need some more pressure to get the price down. It is very good to see that we are not budging in that easily.

All VC investments won't do anything for price within the next two or three years. All they do is help building an infrastructure that may be very useful in a few years. Don't get me wrong, this is very very important and a very positive thing but it won't affect the price at all for the time being.

I voted for yes i am bullish because we have to remember the amount of investments that has gone into this recently it has not reflected in the price at all as far as i am aware because of the manipulation, but i am pretty sure before long we will see it break out. User adoption rising and  i am just an all around positive person, so that reflects my vote.. 

It's clear to me now that a lot of the good stuff (BTC, XMR, MAID, DASH) are being keep down in price while the whales are slowly stacking up, to not disturb the low price and keep everyone away from paying any attention to it. Classic move for those that have a lot of money, are bullish but don't want to trigger a rally.

for the short term i think we will go a bit lower than we are now but around or after the summer it will definitely go above $300 but can it stay above $300 is what i'm asking myself.

I don't think that's too tin foil personally. It seems completely natural.

Jim: "How's that chocolate cake?"
Bob: "Oh, it tastes terrible, you shouldn't eat any."

Maybe this is my tin foil hat thinking, but here we go:

If you, or your investment partners, or investors you know, caught wind of Bitcoin being brought to the masses for completely legal trading, you would want the most Bitcoin for the least amount of money to accumulate before the masses started trading under the new platforms. You or people you hire short Bitcoin to drive the price down, enduce panic and make Bitcoin seem like a failure, pay troll accounts on forums to bash Bitcoin, in hopes of anyone who reads the forum to sell or not buy Bitcoin, if you are a large, well respected investor or investment group, maybe you say some bad things publicly about Bitcoin to drive the price down or steer others away for a while. Maybe if you are trying to open an exchange (or looking for more funding), and the only way it will get approved or funded is if the price is lower, so the greedy ones doing the approving or funding can accumulate a large stash of Bitcoin for themselves.
I could go on and on with possible theories, some more logical than others, but based on everything I've read in the past year, from articles, to forums, etc.. Makes it seem that some power(s) that be want to accumulate more and control the market, at least while they can, and the most profitable way is to drive the price down and accumulate. Which is good for bears here at first, but great for Bulls when they can go no lower, they've got to make money somehow, and that's by going UP! Some may think I'm a little off the wall for making these theories, and I'm not saying they are right or wrong, just possibilities. Hey, this is a speculation forum right? 

I agree with most of what you said, but how exactly do you thing the big players are manipulating the market? Are they holding off for the right time to buy? Maybe, although I think many of them are just holding there positions as well, but I don't see how they could be manipulating on a large scale.

Bearish,  No Questions

I agree, not sure when that ride will start, might take a while.

Anyway, I'm a long term bull

I enjoyed reading this very much^^^

 The longer it takes the more we accumulate.

According to a lot of people in tradeview they are seeing still a downtrend or at least a period of time of being stuck on this low 200's price. We'll see if we can break to 300 territory through this summer. BTC is so undervalued right now, feels good.

Well it's still far too early to really call this a trend-reversal. It could just as well be just another bounce before a big drop (we've seen this before). But it's good to see the price trying. I've still got quite some hopes up that we break out of this downtrend for good now, as well!

well kraken has initiated liquidating 200,000 mtgox bitcoins so you guess what happens when the coins hit exchanges...

(2) Status of Management of BTC
While I had secured 202,149.2273849BTC by the time of the 2nd creditors’
meeting, thereafter I continued to investigate the addresses held by MtGox and
moved the remaining bitcoins accordingly to the address of which I manage the
private key. As a result, the amount of BTC managed by the bankruptcy estate
as of April 13, 2015 is 202,159.34061488BTC. Currently, I am still
investigating the existence of BTC remaining in the bankrupt entity’s data, and it
is planned that as soon as such BTC are found I will move them to the address
which I manage, and I will keep such BTC.

I made the System open to the public on April 22, 2015 at https://claims.mtgox.com.
Any bankruptcy creditor who was a user of the BTC exchange previously operated
by the bankrupt entity (a “User Creditor”) can generally file its bankruptcy claim
online by using the System if such User Creditor:
(i) knows (a) its user name, or (b) its e-mail address and its password registered in
the BTC exchange previously operated by the bankrupt entity;
(ii) can use its e-mail address registered in the BTC exchange previously operated
3
by the bankrupt entity; and
(iii) consents to certain matters shown in the System.
2. Filing of Proof of Bankruptcy Claims through System Operated by Kraken
In the course of developing the System, I obtained assistance from Payward. Inc,
(“Payward”), the supporting company. By linking the System into a system of the
Kraken exchange operated by Payward, any User Creditor who is a user of the
Kraken exchange can file its bankruptcy claim through the system of the Kraken
exchange.
As stated in 6. below, I am currently considering whether I should make
distributions by way of distributing BTC. If I make distributions by way of
distributing BTC, I would need the cooperation of Payward and I would make such
distributions only to the users of the Kraken exchange.

Thinking this too - when there's not much money left to be made in shorting, then pumping becomes the way to go.
