If it hits $400 or lower on stamp/BTC-e on or before 12-31-14 I will pay you. If not I will be paid 01-01-15.
We will do escrow.
Willing to bet 1-100 BTC on this.

PS: If you are taking me up on this bet you are stupid and making a very big mistake  Grin.

People, please stop proposing bets. This is bitcoin, it can go both up and down a lot.
But I'm really curious to know if that huge dump to 102$ on BTC-E was a fluke (mistake?) or the dumper(s) knew something.

My guess?  Impulse (Panic) selling.  You want to clear out your holdings at the top, so you sell all your BTC at price 1$ and cross your fingers that you were one of the first to do so.  

If enough people sell to 1$ instead of limiting the loss at say, $500, this is what you get.

Some people are going to be very sad today.

Perhaps bears can do math.  

Judging from the 4hour chart of Bitstamp, we will not see even $850 again this year... Smiley

Now that's a bet I'd like to take you up on. Grin

Based on the comments and threads on this forum, you should be getting 50+ takers for this bet. Surprised our resident doomsayers have not shown up to rid you of your easy money. Wink

I agree that it isn't very likely to happen... but I think a June/July 2013 type crash is still a possibility. If we scale the numbers for that, we might very well see bitstamp prices in the 300s very briefly. However, I don't think this scenario is very likely to happen, so definitely no bet from me Tongue Anyway, I prefer to trade this instead of betting on it...
