If Bitstamp is back with improved security and no one got Goxed, why are we going nowhere but down?



Jesus Christ! Do i need to explain it again?

Look there are 4 types of Bitcoin users left:

The consumer: This is a very, very small %. They buy coins and spend them. Regardless of the price.

The bagholder: a small group of delusional idiots who keep yelling that we're about to go up, no matter how bad the market is.

These 2 groups don't control the price.
The 2 other groups do control the price and are the reason we're going down.

The early adopter: this big group of people just keeps cashing out. The smart ones did it early last year, the less smart ones have been doing it the rest of the months and even today.

The trader: by far the biggest group. This is the pump and dump you keep on seeing. Sell high, buy low. But the lows keep getting lower. Right now 270 is high. So guess what, they will take the price to 220 to buy low. They will repeat this all the way to 0.  

The group we don't have and which we need are new users. Well, after 6 years we can safely say they won't show up anymore.

Now fucking stop asking why the price is going down. 90% of the "users" of Bitcoin just use it to make short term money and don't give a shit about the technology. The will keep raping Bitcoin till it's dead.

Bitstamp has shaken the market confidence.

Bitstamp wreaks of being shadey with their exposed hidden fees for each fractional purchase (no other exchange ever did that), seizing non-KYC accounts (no exchange ever did that, oh except GOX), and this latest round of stolen BTC.  Delayed re-open (oh we'll open after server copied for forensics, oh we'll open in 24 hours, oh we'll open in 5 hours...) -- took a whole work week.

Nice to see the good samaritans are still here trying to help, educate and save people from Bitcoin, more and more of them turning up everyday,
It is only an illusion. There are fewer and fewer bitcoiners posting here, so the same two or three non-believers now seem legion.

Make Bitcoin glow with ENIAC
I was hoping (meaning: it was possible and I would love that to happen) for a bounce back to 300 but I'm afraid it's much more possible now that we hit ~255 again, there's been almost no buying pressure since Bitstamp reopened and went full retard with 0 fees.
Whether the next ~255 marks a double bottom and starts a reversal or begins a total price crash is a total mystery to me but I think I'll stay out until then.

We will see what will happen when people get the opportunity to deposit fiat.

Nah, bitcoin went back up to 300 because there was a speculation that people would exchange a ton of fiat for them and GTF out of Bitstamp at reopening. It didn't happen.

Strange, yet attractive.


How I wish we could take this moment and freeze it
To come back to again and again and again--
To hold it to the light
Now, turn it in our hands and study all the angles
To find out how and why it's gotta go the way that it goes
We have the technology not available before
We have the technology
Cry

I wish we could take this moment and freeze it
and admire the great gift this user's presence has given
to our community.
Most of us ignored him, took him for a troll but...
His intelligence, his manners, his insightful thoughts
to lead us to where no fiat has gone before...
...since the 2008 fiasco.

THANK YOU LAMBTROLL!!!!
YOU'RE THE MAN (so to speak)...

Not long ago a guy posted maths about bitcoin only needing to be around 27 dollars to use it to switch from one fiat currency to another with a sustained amount of transactions. If you remove speculation out of the equation. That's scary Willy !!!!

I haven't seen the maths, but if it presupposes that every existing bitcoin should be in play then it's not really relevant.

yep you're right about that, it was presupposed in my memory.

Another question, would you really send money to Bitstamp in the next days/weeks? Seems like a gamble to me.

I would, but I wont Cheesy

It's Saturday. People need to sell their coins on Saturdays in China. It's a local custom.
