Well our hopes are similar. I find it hard to believe, my bitcoins are worth over $1000 one day. That would be like flying on crack.

the style of traveling is completely up to you. as long as your flight arrives in frankfurt:

long-term trendline it was on around $222.

What happened to your trendline in Spring 2013 when it jumped from $14 to $100+ ?
Also, don't expect repeating of April's crash, which was not a natural correction but terrible manipulation including shutdown of major exchange, ddos and FUD campaign.
Bitcoin now is much stronger and protected than it was in April.

I'm no trading expert but only looking at the last month it has gradually crawled from $140 to $222. 24 october there was a correction back to this trend-line.
I believe $222 to be a fair price for bitcoins at the moment and this is what I call the long-term trendline..
I don't believe that the bitcoin will crash below $100 or will go or stay above $440 for long.
It will reach $440 or higher only not in this "bubble".

Taking a look at the bitcoincharts 6 month chart the last bar looks unhealthy Cheesy

Also with the recent 4100 BTC being stolen who can say this bubble isn't a setup so they can sell in the current high.

Nobody knows what will happen but i'm betting on a crash back to the $222 line or lower with a rebound to this value.

Hope I'm right

Maybe you should apply for a job at Bloomberg.
What you mean by "chart looks unhealthy"? It's too windy and it caught cold? What your belief in $222 being a fair price is based upon? You found it in a fortune cookie?

Wow it's almost at 400. right now. Can anyone answer this question. Why is Bitcoin raising so much and so fast?

I warn you that people have short memories, for the most part. It was a lot like this in the final runup in april. People saying it can never go down, it will correct only upwards, the insane price movement upward that seemed like it was never going to abate.

Cash at least some out. Take at least some profits. Pack a parachute, that's all I'm saying.

I don't understand all those “predictions” - what are they based on?
What the hell are you talking about bringing some “trendlines”? In april someone hacked two largest bitcoin exchanges causing a panic. Devaluation of btc was a result of failure of exchange vehicles. Nobody knows what would have happened if mtgox and bitstamp and the rest weren't hacked. This discussion is a pile of garbage.

There a multiple known factors that can contribute to btc growing in value and those that can bring it down. If someone will show previously unknown vulnerability in the code, or exchanges will crash again, or government will find a way to crash it, it will quickly go down in value. All the way to zero.

On the other hand: further econonical crisis fueled by continuous quantitative easing, devaluation of currency, banking system corruption and real estate crash will likely contribute to further growth of btc value.

Nobody knows what's going to happen next – you can only bet.

I'm wondering why people seem to forget it? April crash was triggered mainly by severe manipulation and shut-downs. I have a feeling that some (same?) people will try (or are trying) to bring it down again. Exchanges were the single point of failure back than. In my opinion right now it depends if exchanges will defend against vicious attacks this time.

Whole thing only shows how ridiculous some of those predictions are. How the hell are we supposed to know what THE REAL value of btc is and what kind of correction we should expect? It's nothing but reading tea leaves. Bitcoin can go ridiculously high - beyond anyone's imagination.. Or drop down to 0$ tomorrow. My guess - and it's only guess - is that it will steadily go up (with some minor accidents caused by vulnerability of exchanges and govt/banks actions slash propaganda).

As before - I simply keep what I've got and relax. I don't want to take part in the manipulation to make few bucks. It's more of a "value system" thing for me than opportunity to make $

Sucks when you're wrong huh Sad

Went up to $352 after you posted this

Sorry.... I can't call the exact moment when it will crash but it will be soon. Tongue

Yep last time it skyrocketed it had a sudden crash. My belief is that it will crash back to the long-term trendline it was on around $222.
Also with inputs.io being hacked I can imagine a big part of the 4100 btc being sold

I pulled out my BTC a few hours ago and am patiently waiting for the crash to come, so I can buy back more bitcoins Wink

I am still stunned that 1 BTC=~1/4 ounce of gold at this point and rapidly approaching 1/3 of an ounce of gold.

Bitcoin's real value is minimum $300,000 dollars, and by the time it hits it, it may be more because it is hard to buy anything with dollars anymore.

The time in between we'll just have to wait.

$320 is only the equivelent of

200k people investing $19,200 ever in their life so far (on average)

600k people investing $6,400 ever in their life so far (on average)

2mill people investing $1920 ever in their life so far (on average)

now imagine there being 7 billion people in the world and only 1% of the world ever put 1 months salary (about $1920) EVER into bitcoin
70million people when all coins are mined.. each coin is worth $6400, or currently with 12 mill coins mined. each coin is worth $11,200

so there you go.. theres some possibilities of population uptake and average financial input figures, to get your minds playing about with

The problem with your calculations is that not even the US Dollar, which is the most widely used currency in the world, is used by 7 billion people for purchases.

And your assumption on the average monthly salary is pretty extreme for the majority of the population of the world.

I do believe that widespread use of bitcoin will drive it up in value, but I'm questioning your calculations, and assumptions used in your calculations.

Another point is that it takes technology to use bitcoin, even if its only a cell phone, it has to be a smart phone. The cost of smartphone plans is not affordable to a huge portion of the population in many countries.

I hope to see a low tech solution which will allow trading of bitcoins without the overhead required now. That will boost the use and acceptance of bitcoin and increase its value significantly.
