All those threads "do you think bitcoin will hit 400$ / 300$ / 200$?" will become active again. For all the wrong reasons this time  Tongue

Well, it's higher then like, well, last week. So it's not really a crash. More like it was unsustainable for the price to keep going like that.

Not really a crash? Seriously? So when the price went from 200 to 900 in 2 weeks i guess it wasn't really a rise..
Pay them no attention. They seriously use that rationalization every single time we crash. This is what is known as "denial". I'd post the sentiment chart, but it's really been overdone.

I think we will be moving a lot. Price fluctuations are getting bigger and bigger with each new upswing.

I agree $500 is going to provide some serious support, we'll see if it holds up!

$500 will offer as serious a support as it offered a serious resistance "back then" (3 days ago).

I think we could be in for another 6 months of terror... but i doubt it'll be that steep. Probably bottom is about $266.

No, 500$ is the new bottom (gox price). 266$ has no meaning. Look at the chart. http://bitcoinwisdom.com/markets/mtgox/btcusd

But it is possible to stay in the 600 +-100$ region for a while.

I agree $500 is going to provide some serious support, we'll see if it holds up!

Also, how did I not know of bitcoinwisdwom.com/markets??? Awesome. Thanks.

I don't know, having gone through the April crash (we bought right before and into that rise) I have learned from experience that this is all normal and I am quite relieved that we are settling in at around $500 as the new base.  Sure we might be in the 400-600 range for a while but there will come a day when we have another crazy rally, this time it will be up to $1500 or so and then settle around $1000.  Then the price will stay around $1000 for a few months, we will have a rally up to $3000 or $4000 then the price will find a new base of $2000 or so.  This will repeat all the way to the top of the S-curve adoption, which many speculate could be $100,000 per coin, or more.  At this point Bitcoin will act more like a stock and have it's ups and downs but will no longer have these massive runs.  I personally enjoy them.  They just mean that Bitcoin is going up and will find a new "bottom" as we continue the rise to numbers beyond my wildest dreams.  Grin

I wanna show u guyz sumthin...

current Yuan trade price, per BTC China:


current USD price, per Gox:


Roughly 8.5-9.0 Yuan/USD, been there all day.


Now, we'll say 6.1 Yuan/USD per Forex, kinda sorta.

You would need a forex account, plus Gox or whatever buys BTC in $ right now, PLUS BTCChina
[one guy in this forum said he has a fully functional BTCChina acct.]

U guyz gonna tell me this ain't EXPLOITABLE?
Also, SHOULD create a solid floor @ 500-550.
Altho IANJC [I am not Jim Cramer], Anyone could own Lightning Round on this shit.

You know, I still can hardly believe you aren't actually a permabull as I thought you were.



$250 by year-end is still absolutely meteoric -- wouldn't be averse to it going even lower.

$1000+ by year-end is ridiculous. $500 is pretty questionable even. I'm in this for the long haul.

how are you picking these arbitrary numbers. i can make those statements with completely different numbers and i'd be just as right.

Based on the weekly VWAP. How many weeks this year have we been above $250? 3?

Where were we in January?


Actually -- you could pick almost any number below $250, and the rise would still be very satisfactory.

you do understand that the value, awareness and usefulness of bitcoins is growing.... makes sense for the price to reflect that. not your desires to buy cheaper coins when you have more money to spend Wink

$500 very well might be the new bottom. I'm just saying that $266 is the absolute minimum price possible, because that was the top of the last bubble. The only reason why it appears to have no meaning is because we've never tested it. The moment we get even close everybody, myself included, will come bidding with thousands of dollars.

$600 feels like a reasonable price to fluctuate around, though I'm thinking its more like $650 if we aren't going to continue any kind of slide.

I don't understand why people think this is going to last months. Do you really think every significant Chinese investor invested what they wanted in this one week period?

In 2011, Bitcoin was mentioned because of Silk Road, and then Silk Road left the news and it gradually faded away. Now, Bitcoin is huge. The buzz surrounding it will not go away.

Every investor?

I think the people that won the incredible game of pass the bag will not risk driving the price up for a while. The last few investors that joined the game late before learning the rules will likely have to wait.

Did you try BTCChina with 0% fees? Even they describe it as "A new trading experience". For most users, particularly new panic buyers, this experience is probably quite far from "investing".

BTC was huge all year. It still is. The price is not tied to that.
I'm saying that the hype around bitcoin is exponential. China just started investing significantly. The time between bubbles has been dropping. If this "bubble" is truly over (hopefully), a new rally won't be six months away.

Or, the balls of bitcoin might need twice as long to recharge, after splurging twice in one year. Who knows?

no, we know.
