So what did you say the bottom was, rpietila? 340?
We're still hovering around that range. You can take this as me just moving the goalposts for the sake of rpietila, but this stuff is not an exact science.
Risto apologist to the rescue!
He called bottom at ~$500 in August when this thread was created, and it was clear when it was originally posted that he believed we would trend back up from that price point. He was prompted to call it on August 15 because we had just experienced a large drop, but he determined that we had bottomed out. If you read his older posts, it's pretty clear that he thought we would be back over the ATH again at this point.
Sorry, but I'm not going to let anyone wishy wash their way out of their bold predictions. Anyone is free to make any prediction they want here, but you've got to face up to it when you're wrong.
Chuckee,
Even though you are a fucking troll, and rarely do you lend any value within any of your posts; however, here you seem to be largely correct.
Risto made a prediction, and largely he was predicting upward BTC price direction from mid-August onward. and he should take responsibility for such, especially when he (Risto) makes such predictions with such arrogance.
On the other hand, Risto made a lot of valuable contributions including in his post describing the bitcoin price situation at the time of OP.
I suspect that if Risto toned down some of his arrogance within his posts and sometimes made concessions regarding his getting things wrong (or overstating matters), he would NOT cause himself to be such a target for being told that he is wrong... .which NONE of us should expect to really be able to foretell specifics regarding BTC prices.. except for just providing and estimating probabilities.
