Double digits seem outrageous right now, but there are many scenarios that could cause such a drop.

I think that is possible, if:

* The BIT fund fails to attract substantial new investment
* The COIN ETF is not approved, or its demand is limited too
* Usage for e-commerce does not explode
* There is no boom in new markets  (India, Africa, Latin America)
* China abandons bitcoin completely

I am increasingly convinced that Chinese demand created both 2013 bubbles (not only the October-November one, but also the January-April one).  Therefore, I would guess that, if China pulls out and nothing else takes its place, the price could return to the levels of late 2012, namely ~15 $/BTC.

The price may also drop significantly if there is some event that destroys confidence in the coin among the more technical users, such as a serious flaw in the algorithms or incentives, a wave of coin theft, new stifling regulation in the US and Europe, etc.
Jorge, I just don't get you. You are allways such a downer. At the same time, you spend a lot of effort and energy at reasearch and writing about bitcoin. What is your motivation?

A troll aimed at a Canadian audience? Are we waiting for Canadians to dump?

I missed what reflux might have said, but if you're trying to troll Canadians and your post isn't "hockey sucks and Tim Horton's tastes like crap!" then you're doing it wrong.  Grin

More boring sideways action I see.

I feel starved of any positive action lately.

Anyone catch the live stream of Balaji Srinivasan of 21 speaking at the job fair? I missed it and am curious if he divulged any info on their game plan.
I tried, but the background sound is spoiling it. If you want to see/listen, you can just rewind from the live stream.

You don't count shorted bitcoin in dollar terms lol. Fiat in fiat, coins in coins.

Fiat cannons loaded. Someone bring us under $200 please
Buy as fast as you can. Maybe a lot happens on sunday/monday...

what exactly ,for example ?
It's just my gut feeling. GBTC starting to trade, NY BitLicense finalized, Rand Paul attending bitcoin event tomorrow, the Facetwins being able to launch COIN at NASDAQ and their Gemini exchange. I'm probably wrong about the timing. But I think many players have an incentive to launch at the same time  Wink

Fly me to the moon and let me play among the stars. Let me see what spring is like on Jupiter and Mars.

In other words... let's launch this mofo!

I have done my first (and probably last) short term prediction on this forum that monday is "Wall Street Monday!".

If I'm wrong, take me behind the barn and shoot me. (At least, I will never try to predict the short time future here again, he he).
