Who can get me clear what caused this such panic, only leverages? Absolutely the answer will be no
No, simply no buy pressure to be found. No bulls to fuel a bounce. I'm starting to think we really need a good plunge, into the $400s perhaps, to provide momentum for a strong rally. Bulls are nowhere to be found -- except those holding from higher up.
obvious ...people are not using btc....are holding ...no one new is flocking to bitcoin in the numbers we need vs the folks holding
we could be sitting on this kinda flat/slow fall till next year...
problem with that is consumer mining seems to be drying up as we speak w/o miners as 'cheerleaders' for bitcoin ..as such dries up...just a bunch
of geeks holding coin...that thru FUD and other means press/gov't will make out as fraud ridden...thus less newbies...a world wide 'assasination of
reptutation by the 'vested intrests" world wide.....like China is trying to do with bitcoin etc
this could be long/hard and dismal ..and the more uncertain it becomes and price goes down the less likely them 'institutional investors' will jump in
frigging 'dead cat bounce'

diffusion of inonvation (acceptance)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffusion_of_innovationswell I'm in it for the long haul..if BTC goes to $10 so be it.....ride the puppy down in flames....(drank the kool aid don't ya know hard to be us 'pod people')
myself if it stays above $150 usd I'm OK ...below that I'm toast...(pick your own USD oops moment)

What makes you think next year people suddenly will start buying?
It failed. Bitcoin failed. Things that fail don't suddenly get big a year later.
well how many times has BTC tanked and come back (oldsters on here?) 5x 6x ..
I don't count it out..but if I'm looking at best it going sideways and at worst it finding a level in $$ below my comfort zone...into next year....well.....damn it
...guess I need a hug.....nightmares!
and you could be right I sure don't know what the hell I'm talking about off this thread...why should bitcointalk be any different!

It's been tanking for 8 months. It's over. I suggest you sell now.
well some people got 'bass boats' and fishing competitions...or waste their $$ on stock cars in stock car races (which they wreck) so WTF someone asks me
if I lost $$$ in BTC ...the damn 'bass boat' sunk.....only lose the $$$ you can afford...besides we can all say at cocktail parties that you and (pick your
venture capitalist in bitcoin) lost our ass..it is unlikely make $$ or lose $$ I will ever have the 'chance' to get in on something of a venture capitalist
ground floor again anyway...WTH ...what I should be doing is selling all my crap in the attic ....on ebay...enough there to cover my bitcoin expenses
otherwise it will just sit their till I die....this way ...sell all that on ebay...if BTC goes poof .hey..the attic can be converted and I have a 4 bedroom
house now!..with property around here I'll make my $$$ back 'on paper' that I put into bitcoin
yep denial is the only way to go now (actually this may allow me panic enough to actually sell some crap...which I should be doing as we speak)
whatever its just stuff/money.....if I can't take it with me at least I should be able to piss it away right?
