Great thread, thanks.  Just skimmed it so far but already I see the value there (and, yeah, of course it'll level off at $1M, duh!  LOL.  Nothing increases exponentially forever, but still maybe it's gonna actually level off at "only" something like $800K or $1.2M)  Grin

Anyway, yeah, I'm gonna def take the time & really read carefully thru all of that thread too, plus all the links.  Great stuff.

Thanks again.

 Cool

Ha, love it!  But any particular reason why it necessarily HAS TO level-off at "only" $1 million?  Grin

Don't get me wrong, I love this chart and really (really really) hope it's true... I'm personally tryin' really hard to get ahold of as much BTC as I can, right now at these recent "low prices" (I'm still spending some, but just tryin' really hard to make a little stash too, LOL)...

But just being Devil's Advocate here, for the sake of argument: what would be some of the major reasons why you guys might consider that this chart and/or the long-trend might NOT actually hold true??

Again, not tryin' to throw any cold water on the optimism here, but y'know... after the last few months of "crashing" prices, it might be prudent to keep all possibilities (both positive and negative) in clear view of the road ahead.

 Cool

I think it's more likely to peak 6~8k and possibly 10k+ but 300k seems a little early.

Not entirely impossible, but still not very likely

That is beautiful  Cool

Look how the april/nov 2013 peaks reflect the first two blips on the chart Grin

this is really crazy to see how good of an investment bitcoin would have been for the early adopters. like wow thousand % returns and stuff Smiley very good to see

Depending of course on the final adoption numbers it could be that we are still in early adopter, early majority stage of network growth, e.g. 2 or 3 more orders of magnitude growth left.

Those people messing around with bitcoin when it was worth cents or a dollar weren't early adopters but akin to the founding members of a start-up, garage-dwelling innovators, experimenters tinkering where absolutely nothing was certain or even clear what it was they were messing with. Some of this fog is clearing but nothing is yet certain, the risks to failure however decrease with every increase in usage (and thus price) somewhat paradoxically.

i could see this being true and i love the anology of the founders. but i feel like you are right about 2-3 more growths left and bitcoins being with 20-50k $ a peice in a few years and bitcoins being very popular everywehre

I updated the last month(s). Now it would be very cool if someone made the chart! Smiley

Here is the chart:

I did not run a regression analysis. I will do that once I have a better data set for the period before gox. Smiley

My daily dataset that I use at home is currently showing:

trendprice = 10^ (0,003066x - 2,904980)

R^2 = 0,928955.

I think the R term is pretty cool for a 5.25 year dataset spanning over 6 decades (ADD: of prices, LOL)

I will put some us$ in BTC again, now is right time in my opinion. Also, last time i have earned some bucks on that so i guess it would be fair to invest again.

After the chart is in place, you can easily see how good buy point this is, with very high probability the best that we will ever more have.

Of course it is possible that this method will not have predictive ability in the future, but I would not bet against it, considering that it has predicted exactly everything that has happened since October  Grin

I had to delete 2 otherwise good posts that use the wrong trendline. Please post them to another thread. This thread uses price data which is approved by me (main difference is that my data is from 1/2009 and others from 7/2010)

Smiley

No problem mate Wink
Maybe I will start my own thread.

I am still looking for early data. I have data for april 2010 onwards. Where did you get the data for 2009? Smiley


edit, found the answer:
Quote
1/2009-5/2010 Attempt to find data of actual OTC trades. The trades found, happened between 0.0010-0.0054. We do not currently know exactly if there was a trend to either direction during this time, or if trades were isolated. Assumed flat 0.005 for the purposes of this analysis but will change if appropriate.

I found some data for the early exchange "Bitcoinmarket": http://bitcoincharts.com/charts/bcmPPUSD#tgSzm1g10zm2g25zv
I will go through the forum for other data Smiley
