If I'm having trouble sleeping knowing that Bitcoin trades 24/7 and someone might move the price substantially (up or down) by the time I wake up, would that be fear, or euphoria...?

Eufearia maybe?

This a new term? Cheesy

Is AB Involved with Subprimed Loans? - Yahoo
19 Nov 2007 – Probably what will happen is that while the stock markets careen around in a whirlwind of eufearia (which is the opposite of euphoria)...

But this thread is number one on (my) google now, so we win.

This thread should list all the stages and people can change their votes as they feel the investor emotion change. Then it would be a decent indicator.

this gave me a good idea. i will try to start a bitcoin barometer with polls every week or month so that i am able to collect the current and future opinions of investors to generate a chart out of it.

i have setup a domain with limesurvey http://www.btc-barometer.com

now i have to research which questions to ask and how to calculate an indicator out of it. are there any good ideas??

+1

I would do the classic most simple thing:

Are you bullish or bearish regarding the Bitcoin price (in USD) within the next week/month/year?

Vote [] bullish [] bearish

Something like this. Percentage bulls/bears is a simple, yet quite valuable indicator.

Edit: Didn't see that this is already done here: http://www.bitcoinbullbear.com/

I don't feel bad at all as we are still in double digits after that much dump.

My guess is that till thurstday price will be above $12.5.

Eufearia maybe?

Excellent new word, I will use it from now on whenever I'm asked for my thoughts on Bitcoin.

I wrote it in to Webster to be included in the new edition of the dictionary:

eufearia
[yo̅o̅fēr′ē·ə]

1. (finance) The feeling that the parabolic growth of your money may have unfortunate consequences.
2. (driving) The proper emotional response when someone realizes that a mountain road has been replaced by a canyon.
3. (skydiving) The brief realisation that the backpack you're wearing is, in fact, Bobs diving gear.

+1 perfect!
