You do understand that consumer adoption follows media exposure, right?
So, just to eliminate any doubt in my mind, since last year we had:
1. Increasing media exposure.
2. Increasing adoption.
3. Falling exchange rate.
∴ If (1) and (2) continue, the exchange rate is going to continue on its present trajectory, i.e. falling.
I don't remember using the word price in that sentence.
I don't remember using the word "price" in this entire thread. What made you bring it up?
User adoption is rising and once the price turns and heads back up past 800 a new larger tranche of users will discover how easy it is to buy, save and use bitcoin. They and you will drive the next bubble. As you well know it is a price cycle - not a strict mathematical formula.
Are you saying that user adoption is driven by the price (higher BTC exchange rate will cause greater adoption), and not vice versa? If so, I'd say you're in the minority.
I posted a list of [what I believe to be facts], (1) through (3), and a conclusion following from the premise that BTC exchange rate was in a causal relationship with (2).
Like so:
A -> B
~B
A
∴ ~(A -> B)
...so not sure what you mean by "your point." What point do you think I'm trying to make?
I am posting this from an ipad so apologies for formatting.
Exchange rate = price. Hence the mention.
Your argument seems to be: continued bitcoin media exposure together with rising adoption equals a falling price. Therefore bitcoin is going to continue falling.
Now since the price previously topped that correlation exists. Correlation does not equal causation. Simply widening your timeframe tells a different and opposite story where the price has risen instead.
