I personally think BTC will launch a bit higher than there former peak, and possibly stable out. Essentially a spike graph, super highs super lows and eventually stable..

What i'm keeping my eye on are LTC Cheesy

who made the money when the bitcoin price plunged? stock trading(bitcoins) is zero sum a winner and a loser, my question is who won when the price came down?Huh

I did. Got in at 120 +- and out at 190 +-.

Overall less mad fees I got about a +50% return in a few days

Technically speaking, one can make money if one borrows and sell. (Short selling)

I don't think there is a mechanism of borrowing and selling in bitcoins right now, so no one made money on the downturn.

But, people who wanted to get in at the dip are the real winners here. They got a lot more than what they wanted.

for the last time. when a stock/bond/currency etc goes down the short seller makes money. when bitcoin went down who made money?
For the last time, speculators who sold as soon as a 5% drop occurred. They turn their bitcoin into fiat at the drop of a hat.

Professional speculators is my guess. They weren't here to make friends ya know. If they did profit they are quite likely to do a pump&dump again.

Some of the buyers were likely people who sold pre Gox, and they saw a lot of value in buying lower priced BTC.

Other people were likely people who injected more fiat into the system to buy the lower priced BTC.
