Topic: So, what will happen … - page 2. (Read 2671 times)
So, what is the logic behind suddenly forcing the price up from $4.25 to $4.99 in an instant? I can't think of one, except forced buying through Bitcoinica or someone playing the thin market (New Year's Eve and all). I can't think of a real reason why someone would want a whole lot of bitcoins suddenly for a real world use.
me to. i know own a shitload of bitcoin, i am damn fucking rich, nobody is gonna stop me, i own all the fucking bitcoin ze fuck!

… once people begin to realize that not the rise, but the fall was manipulated?
I will says thanks to the manipulators because the fall enabled me to buy a lot more Bitcoins!
And to answer my own question: I think we might be seeing a REAL bubble if this happens, not just with geek lunch money.
Like a real tangy chewing gum version?the real sticky kind.

very, very good point.
short selling at Bitcoinica implemented in September was also a big factor leading everyone to believe that the death knell was near. while it hurt alot of longs the last few months, i can't help but think alot of the shorts have been decimated. in fact, i'm sure of it.

That's a good point too. We had profit taking, lots of bad shit (hacking, thefts, etc.), manipulation, and short selling.

Clever question indeed … once people begin to realize that not the rise, but the fall was manipulated?
I think it's more complicated than that. The depth of the fall is a combination of profit taking, manipulation, and just a lot of bad shit happening all at once. On the bright side, you might say that with the infrastructure getting more robust it's unlikely that again all those things will conspire together at once.
In other news, I said several times in the past months that we wouldn't see prices above $5 for the rest of 2011, and it looks like I'm about to be wrong on the last possible day I could, even if only momentarily.
Man, that would have been an awesome betting scheme!
