Poor zimmah :C
Oh well, things didn't turn out as expected.
Sad indeed, but I still think we will soon see improvement.
I think things are coming along nicely. I buy a few more coins each month during this accumulation phase. I have moved a 5% of my overall portfolio into cash ('waiting on the sidelines') in case we get a sudden dip into 3xx territory again in a final capitulation-retest-the-low type scenario. I am sure others are thinking the same and therefore it may not materialise.
Sentiment is terrible, bears/trolls are all over the forum spreading doom, people are variably bored and/or chucking in the towel and selling. At the same time bitcoin infrastructure, VC funding, merchant integration and simple webwallet services are surging ahead of user adoption. I think the market is working through the aftermath of two bubbles in a very short space of time. Who knows whether we bubble up again and retest the ATH soon or if there is a false start or two to go. My vote is on an ETF driven bubble prior to the next halving in early 2016. The longer we stay in this range the better anyway.
ye, the slower than expected growth does have a plus side, it gives us more time to accumulate bitcoin before it DOES leave behind 3 digits permanently.
I won't give a time prediction anymore, but i dare say that after the next rally it's unlikely we will drop back to below $1000 ever again.
Sadly, my fiat income is a little low at the moment, so i could not really buy much more bitcoin anyway, but every bit of dust counts.
