And the winner is....

I say $50...don't forget to quote each poster so he/she can't edit the figure later.

Congratulations to doobadoo for getting it right!!

And in second place, we have Bjork:
$50 then rebound to ~$75-90 for a while

doobadoo was first with the right guess, but Bjork got it right too, though with an added prophecy, that I guess was not really correct.

Before the massive interest BTC was at $50.  Since then there are a lot more parties involved.  For this reason I think the real perceived value was at $50 and now is probably near $100.  I would guess unless all the speculators run and never return a bottom of $87. I think it will level off around $100.

Well after the Mt. Gox issues I thought it might actually be lower but, I'm feeling pretty proud about selling at $230 and calling the level off around $100.  This is the easiest investment to predict I have ever had the pleasure to work with.  I feel bad for those who treat it like a religion and didn't sell off at $200+ but, it is there decision to pass up doubling their money so whatever.  I'm going to put a buy in today probably $85-$90 or so and have more than double the coins I had a couple weeks ago.

I don't know if we're going up or down from here, but those were cheap coins.

Cheap for now. In 2 days with a itchy panic finger it might be expensive.  I'm feeling another sell-off in waiting, this week maybe?

Even with the bear market and crash, I think people are too used to seeing double and triple digits to take this thing below $10.  Seen some weekend tips test ~$85-80 but yeah once the weekday money flows, it's hard to call what'll happen.

I'd imagine $50-60 or so as the bottom since coins are so much more widely used now.  But then before the run-up we had, the slant had been gradual to $70 or so.  I don't think we'll slide much past that but hey, I could be wrong.  Crystal balls aren't my thing.

$13.



It's the same distance from $260 as $2 was from $33. It's the same distance above $5 as $2 was above 75¢.

It's also the price we had back in September-November - the most recent multi-month stable period.

Breaking through the $10-$13 range would require monumental bearish momentum.

I recall watching the decline back in the summer of 2011. With the similar complete reversal of sentiment, the drop will be deeper and longer than many new traders expect. People will be afraid to buy even as the price drops past a a fair value to very attractive levels.

My guess: 19 USD/BTC.

What is your speculative guess on what the bottom will be this time around?

"The bottom" in this context shall be defined as the lowest point the USD/BTC price will hit before breaking the all time high again.

I say $ 85

$8 within 2 weeks.  I'm revising my previous bottom due to Mt. Gox having all the eggs in their basket right now.

At the moment I'm going to call around $40, but all bets are off for me until I see how this weekend plays out.

If FIAT runs dry as it often does over the weekend how will that affect the price?
How many people are still in a rush to cash out and take their profits/minimise their loses?
Will new money arrive on the exchanges Sunday/Monday and will people use that money to buy "cheap" coins?

This for me will give us a clue as to whether a more cautious bull run begins/resumes or whether we are entering a long slide down.

$20-$25

This would continue from a exponential curve of historical prices excluding bubble periods (a bit of estimation is required for when the current bubble started tho).

I call $40 as the bottom, same as before. (Given that the bottom in late 2011 was $2...)

It might not go that low at all. Lower could be an amazing third chance at buying in hard. And, my opinion isn't worth anything. Smiley

Looks like $105 might have been the MtGox bottom... on the way up again...!

This forum is incredibly bullish most of the time and if that is representative of the bitcoin capitalization as a whole id be very surprised if there wasn't a bull trap. This may just be a temporary blip before a greater correction.

I'm usually far too conservative and guess too low.  At $20 I was sure I'd get to buy more at $10 so, it will probably be over $100.

Unfettered market, no childish nannycrat controls, no protection whatsoever. I won't touch it until it is between $50 and $25. Yes, that's 80-90% off and I loosely get this percentage from a similar crash in 1929-1932. I am perfectly happy with this: free market at work.

I think it will level off around $100.

This of course does not consider how people are going to react to the problems MT Gox etc. is having right now.  A collapse to $0 or moving of BTC to some other virtual currency wouldn't shock me.  I don't think this will happen because many are just waiting to buy back in.  There are still plenty of bulls who have faith and the lower it goes the faster they will be buying again.

I'm usually far too conservative and guess too low.  At $20 I was sure I'd get to buy more at $10 so, it will probably be over $100.

Almost $7m and counting has taken a hike.  Asks are on the rise even as record numbers of bitcoins are being sold.  Little doubt about it, this is the big reversal.  Single digits is not out of the question once we've reached the bottom of the coming long slow slide.  As I've said elsewhere, the popping of this bubble is going to toss a giant wet blanket on bitcoin for years to come.

Nobody wants to be left holding the bag on this one...

There were several large large purchases early on. I'm pretty sure we're going to see a big sell off as the big players who even at the current declining prices have made a profit sell out.

I'm going to cancel my buy orders.

Actually, just checked I've got one at 43... I think that's still safe

I've got one set at $80 I think it's a 50/50 so I'm ditching it.

My guess is around 50-60.. Bitcoin has definitely grown because of all the attention lately. I used to peg its value around $25.. I think it's easily worth 60 now, but the panic will probably cause it to drop below it's value for a while.
