"Bitcoin is dead, it's just crashed all the way down to $197."

No matter how you look at it, you just benefited for having Bitcoin all these years. Why would you say it's dead when it's worth more than it was before your coma?

The very next day I walked into my garage and accidentally stepped onto a rake which flew up and hit me in the head and was knocked out cold and remained in a coma for 5 years.

Was the rake damaged? That's the main thing.

It's still in hospital in a coma. We're all rooting for it, but it's going to be a hard fight.

Speculators with deep pocket.

Bitcoin has nothing to do anymore with the original satoshi-idea. It has nothing to do with 'the people'. The foundation is hijacked and Gavin is a sockpuppet too.

Bitcoin is not anymore about freeing people from the shakles of the banking system. It has become a game of whores, whoring for big money.

Bitcoin now only relies on the good will/stupidity of the large investors. If they change their mind now what are the moneywhores in bitcoin gonna do?

Keep whoring for big pocket investors and see where you are going to end up.

It's a very interesting exercise in the 'greater fool' theory. At this point, only the early adopters, scammers, and market shorters are the ones left out of the 'fool' discussion.

The great majority of the rest seem to be bunched into the baghodler 'get rich quick' boat that already left the dock nearly a year ago. (as is evident by all the price infatuation threads in every subforum).

Smart money has already filtered into assets with intrinsic value such as precious metals with real world industrial and electronic uses.

Yes, Most of the BTCs are at bigger investors. They play the game. Small investors like us must Crush in every price Crash.

I thought the bulltards told us not to focus on price though? So let's look at bitcoin itself. Since 2011, there has been essentially no improvement to the protocol itself. The only difference is that you can spend them with a few stores online, but still, they're just being dumped immediately to dirty fiat and not being held by the merchants. If the merchants won't even hold bitcoin, that tells us it's not a useful currency. So essentially, the only reason we're still sticking around $200 is because of speculators.

Will these speculators drive the price up again? Maybe... but I doubt it. Sooner or later the people will realize the emperor has no clothes. There just isn't any reason for ordinary people to use bitcoin, and the value will ultimately reflect that reality.

the value is international transfers that currently cost too much with western union and banks
those are the advantages as well as having some assets that can be moved around freely without government oversight
they price will always recover

In the year 2010 I was introduced to bitcoin while listening to a philosophy podcast. At that time bitcoin had just CRASHED all the way from $30 down to $3. The "bubble" had popped if you will, and it was quite clear to everyone that bitcoin was dead.

So I decided to buy 500 Bitcoin.

The very next day I walked into my garage and accidentally stepped onto a rake which flew up and hit me in the head and was knocked out cold and remained in a coma for 5 years.

I woke from my coma yesterday and the first thing that I did was ask what the price of bitcoin was doing, the answer i got was, "Bitcoin is dead, it's just crashed all the way down to $197."

but your wife ran away with mark karpeles. Grin

for 850,000 btc , i will sell mark karpeles my wife and get a new one

Trust me!

Hah, what a great story! Of course it's nothing more - just a story, but the message behind it is very well and true. People new to Bitcoin consider the price they joined Bitcoin as the "normal" price and don't even consider the price before that. They can't seem to grasp the possibility of Bitcoin still being in its infancy.

Just wait until the USD collapses, after that they will have no alternative.

Gold will be confiscated, so ordinary people wont have any other place to go but Bitcoin and other crypto coins.

Bitcoin won't help if all it takes is a few hours of waterboarding to make you cough up your private keys.

Cheesy

Multisignature... with the other keys held by your friend in the other side of the world.

There's always BTCeanie BTCabies tho...

Yeah, like a stuffed toy that weights half kilogram wont be suspicious to the statists Cheesy

C`mon man, either you have your gold offshore in a vault somewhere in Bahamas or some no-name island, or you can see it confiscated by one or other form.

The soft way is that the state will buy up the vault legally, and then "manage" the gold inside it.

*manage means steal it and sell it

The hard way is just to send in SWAT teams and confiscate it on some vague anti-money laundering charges...

Either way, you can say bye bye to your gold.

There is a good support @ 150$, if all hell breaks loose, atleast this level can hold.

But i dont know, Huobi ,Bitfinex and Bitstamp got some nice big juicy buy orders, so we could see a double bottom forming at 197$ and then it could rally.

However if it drops to 150$ then I will buy them all

If not then I will wait until the junk shorts clear out and buy @ 210-230

remember that double bottom at 297? LOL

What are you talking about, there was no bottom at 297.

I just look at the order book, its much nicer to see the order book, when I traded Forex, it was hellish,you had to guess where to big whales put the money, but here all essential info is public.

I just made 0.2 BTC with an arbitrage on TILECOIN Cheesy

The orderbook works, and based on current data, 150$ is a really heavy support, now since I posted that, i just saw some nasty sell orders, so we might see a retracement to 165 again forming a double bottom, but I`m not worried that it will go lower.

At the moment of course, nobody can see the future
