What I do not get is that there have been so many times where bitcoins were crashing and this "bubble chart" was not applying and now that we did not even know if we are in the "popping bubble" phase, everyone is quick to fit that chart.

Looks like a sort of investor's fallacy here but of course, if people believe that, they should sell.

As overwhelmingly compelling the bubble chart and reality is...  ^^^THAT is a contrarian indicator IMO.

Wow that’s some lazy ass journalism.  Even if Bitcoin returns to $100, perhaps they would like to name a fund, stock, asset or anything else that has had a better ROI in the last 12 months.  This may be the start of the end, but it is way too early to make that call yet.

That’s why I personally like the log chart. It better reflects the reality of what is happening.  Even if you bought at $1200 there is an exceedingly good chance that we will be past that in 12 months in my opinion.  I have been trying to find an example of something else that has behaved with so much volatility with spikes, dips and rapid recoveries, but I am not having much luck so far.

The graph is actually quite accurate.

Except in EVERY bitcoin bubble so far, the after-bubble price has been much higher than the incoming price.

In other words, the grey "mean" line at the bottom should be sloping much steeper upwards.

Nailed it.

You have to be really stupid to believe that a log chart shows different information than a linear chart.

this:


is exactly the same as this:




They show the EXACT SAME information. All the crowing about log charts on this forum is asinine.

That aside, if you actually believe that bitcoin has not had several bubbles, and is not at the tail end of one that just popped, you are either extremely naive or downright mentally retarded.

From this chart can is it safe to say yesterdays low of $380 won't be seen again?

Anymore dips below $500 before Christmas?

I have no Idea, Bitcoin is unpredictable, we are just speculating, so if there will be no more bad news and if the trend will continue this way, I think we are recovering slowly, if I think there will be new lows ?  the best thing is to spread the risks, you buy some now , you open some low orders just in case and you keep some fiat in standby for fast reaction, at least this is what I've done lately....

That's what I did yesterday as it dipped. Miss the $400 mark but got in at $500 and kept a little fiat in the event it goes to or below $450 again.
Right now I don't see that happening but I've got my fingers crossed for Sunday to Tuesday, I'm thinking Christmas slows things down enough it dips again.

What goat said.

Every rise/fall/correction this chart gets pulled out... of course it looks accurate but it has no time scale...you can zoom in/out pretty much any stock and get it to fit into this pattern...that's because crowds follow the same patterns, which is essentially Elliot wave theory - when any stock rises suddenly it tends to fall in this pattern.

Just hodl and enjoy your holidays.

I like this one. It clearly shows that Bitcoin is going to drop to below zero values, in the near future. Not only would it be worthless, but people would actually be paying money to get rid of their bitcoins. Maybe I should open a bitcoin disposal service, or something.

Yeah, this is the daily picture, but just because the last day endet at 600 - but it was down to 380 in the middle of this day -> so this would be a lot lower on the graph.

Yeah it's still such a new market, and more and more people are becoming convinced of bitcoins true, combined with a very small percentage of total coins actually on the market at any one time, mean the "mean" is going to be very hard to penetrate.

The graph is actually quite accurate.

Except in EVERY bitcoin bubble so far, the after-bubble price has been much higher than the incoming price.

In other words, the grey "mean" line at the bottom should be sloping much steeper upwards.

Exactly what I was about to say, I was here in April and the chart looked exactly the same, but the mean line wasnt all the way down.

sigh btc isnt your traditional commodity. to try and characterize crypto whould def need an extended chart and much more then a couple years of speculation. This drop is strictly due to China pulling back. To try and say it was foresaw via a chart s ridiculous. 


not so ridiculous... note the "return to normal" reference.  This rise was played out.  If it hadn't been the China news it would have been something else.

My estimation is that this is the big one.  There may be a quick "return to normal" rise, but the Chinese companies dropping BTC acceptance is the interpretation of the Central bank ruling that we all didn't want.  It is going to be hard for BTC to take a significant amount of the international B2B trade if this major export country won't accept it.

Still, I haven't cracked my cold wallet so will be happy no matter what happens...

See you back at the L1 exponential line -- its still an AMAZING rate of growth!

I hate to admit that as much as I hate watching the "stage of a bubble chart", it seems so F%&$/!? accurate, Is Bitcoin a different story ?
