after a few years here, and seeing these types of mini-spikes many times over i'm starting to get the hang of it... there not going to be a moon-spike again. that was caused by willybot, it was 100% fake. what will happen is we will see a slow increase over the long run, many mini-spikes and corrections slightly higher than before the spike started, climbing slowly.

Upcoming crash factor => Two blockchain due to block size controversy

Upcoming pump factor => Block halving

Crashing?

You mean that tiny little drop from $280 to $260 in the past 24 hours?

That doesn't look like a crash to me.  That just looks like normal bitcoin volatility.



Yep, pretty normal price fluctuations.  If it stays this way for a number of years there will be a lot of very rich and happy traders.  Look at that chart.  This thing is like the most predictable roller coaster ever.  Buy in the valleys and sell at the peaks: win.

It will most likely continue to fall in price, but not ridiculously... maybe a bottom of 250 or thereabouts could see as low as 220 in the next month or two.

its not really crashing per se, i would say it is a correction. there was a run because of Greece and various hints about EFT (as mentioned above Wink ), but it was speculative. not many greeks themselves went to btc, it was the rest of the world hoping that the price would spike. they bought in and caused it to spike a little, that caused more buyers to rush in and continue the spike. thats how bubbles work.

after a few years here, and seeing these types of mini-spikes many times over i'm starting to get the hang of it... there not going to be a moon-spike again. that was caused by willybot, it was 100% fake. what will happen is we will see a slow increase over the long run, many mini-spikes and corrections slightly higher than before the spike started, climbing slowly.

thats just my prediction.

Not a crash at all, no cause for concern.  Pure speculation but the NYC regs combined with slower weekend purchasing, if I had to venture a guess.

Why is it crashing?

WoW... I cant just wait to see those SELL SELL SELL threads once again.

So, last round was 220-310, breaking the barrier of 260 in the round before.

What this round is going to be ? 200-350 ? Wink

Or too much people selling... Right!

But why? Why now and why this huge crash so suddenly?

There aren't too many people selling... This was just a drop of water in the glass.

Why is it crashing?

"Because it is not backed by the awesome might and power of a centralized government."

There are several reasons why the price is crashing, one of them is the situation of bitfinex and NYC bit license and one is because of ethereum launch many dumped for profit. But its all speculation.

My theory is because the ubiquitous "they" are squeezing right now and people are forced to sell to maintain. Greater adoption will prevent these kinds of drops in the future as the link to fiat is broken and the exchange rate becomes irrelevant.

It could be related to the NYC bitlicense taking effect soon and maybe NYC holders are getting out.

Here is some info on Bitfinex and "leaving" NY.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/3g9akq/the_bitlicense_is_going_to_ensure_that_the/

It is just a theory though.
And BTW, it isn't really a crash yet.
It could be back to $275 by Monday.
