Wait, wasn't there a conjecture that Jed's "big XRP sell-off" threat caused a major BTC price move? When/what was that, anyone remembers?^ Ripple reaches deal with Jed. Engage XRP rockets.

Personally, I think that it is good to hear big news events happening with some of the other major crypto-currencies (or payment systems) to the extent that those other cryptos may affect bitcoin news, developments and competition.

The bubbles are smaller relative to the values, even though in absolute amounts it went up (or down.) So the bursting effect is slower. Unlike last year's which was a 10 fold increase.

I didn't think we would see this last bear trap before the next bubble.
"before the next bubble"
...
...sorry, no more bubbles in bitcoin. just a slow bleed down back to where we started
I've been calling it Bubblecoin a long time. Fortunately we're not seeing +/- 50% volatility anymore, but volatility is part of the nature of a 24/7 global market with no "cooldown" mechanisms.

I think we were spoilt with 2 bubbles in 2013, so maybe zero in 2014 evens things out... August 13, 2014, 10:26:53 PM
i'm hoping for the day when a few million dollars moving around an exchange doesn't greatly affect the price of bitcoin.. that's when we will know we have made it.
as it is right now, even a small event could swing the price $30 in either direction.

BTC price suddenly shoots up on May 20, after a month or relative stagnation.
Jed announces his big Ripple sell-off on May 21.
BTC price suddenly starts to drop on Aug/11, after a month of relative stagnation.
Ripple announces on Aug/13 an agreement with Jed that prevents a big sell-off for 1-2 years.
Nah, it must be that conspiracy that is trying to make me think that I am paranoid.

Zero, zilch, nada, not going to happen.
$4000 by the end of next year... unlikely but certainly possible.
$4000 by the end of this year... I will ride along the ocean with a magical unicorn on my way to seizing control of the entire universe before that happens. Understand? NO!!! Not .000000000000000000000001% chance.... just ZERO!

You seem too well educated to be a newbie, until the point that you seem the alter ego of a whale playing the newbie roll.
However, is most plausible the 25% odd of reaching 4000$ before 31 dec than the .000000000000000000000001%, and we can bet on that numbers if you want to put your money where your mouth is.
I have about $1500 to my name, too much credit card debt, and a ton of student loans... I assure you good sir, that I am not a whale. What price are you suggesting as the bet? $4000. I'd take out loans that I am not even sure that I can get... but I'd find a way... I'd rob a lady on the street if necessary... to bet that there is no way in hell that we are at $4000 by December 31st.

Will another newcomer bite the dust??
You think you seen bitcoin player? I tell you this kid, you ain't seen bitcoin till you see it double in less then 3 days; That would be $1.1k by saturday
I will also do a bet that it won't be at $1,100 by Saturday... I'd rob the same old lady to put as much on that bet as possible. I am actually looking out the window at a coffee shop for potential old ladies to rob at this point. Look what you people are making me become. You are turning me into a monster.
I found you delicious, Newbie, well said
However, the bet is that:
.25:100000000
Or 25 satoshis VS 1 BTC.
Your original odd had way more zeroes, but I feel generous.
Hahaha... this is starting to feel like one of those bets where you think you won when it finishes and somehow you still lose. I am starting to feel out of my depth. All I'd say is that $4000 won't happen. Even with the mathematical possibilities, the psychology, momentum, and base is not there for that price... way too soon for expectations like that. Maybe, with .00000001 there is a galaxy that this becomes possible on... but we don't live on that galaxy.
I'll give you 1 BTC in December 31st though, for nothing in return (I think that is basically the bet), if we are at $4000. Promise. We can hash out contact details off the board.
If Newbie is as broke as he claims to be, then you probably need to hold the winning of the bet proceeds in escrow.

Big volume on Huobi, no movement in price. Ask walls piling up, but also getting eaten.

I think people who are waiting for a sharp bottom/rebound might be disappointed, just like the last time. It could very well be a slow boring re-test of some level -> sideways -> up.
I miss the crazy rebounds tho and bloody as hell bottoms with 5-10 seconds window to buy in, but it looks like that era is over.

Finally some move.
Will we break the 1430's this time?

No. But we aren't through the storm yet either.
