(...)
LET'S GIVE PROBABILITIES TO THE FOLLOWING EVENTS
(...)
d) In 2014, price will visit below 400 = 80%
e) In 2014, price will visit above 500 = 30%
f) In 2014, price will visit above 750 = 5%
(...)

Well, I think somebody will just prove their deep lack of understanding of economics and human psychology in the next few weeks/months/years.

I for one going to keep the above quotes on hand.

Be sure to keep this one too (note the date):
If the rumor is false, I expect that the price will go back up to the pre-rumor level (around 3500--3700 CNY or  580--610 USD), and then resume the slow descent from there.

However there may be a permanent residual price drop, due to people becming aware that such a ban is possible in the future even if not right away.

if we get to 600 in 48-72 hours then you will see the real panic buying

.... if we get to 600 we will have already seen some good panic buy for sure, and maybe we will see some more  Grin

I feel for all the wannabe traders who thought they could short bitcoin. I've learned my lesson a long time ago and have never been so happy to hodl and buy all the way down.

I still think it's a bull trap and we will see $400 again though.
Disclosure: i'm hodling so I couldn't care less about my own predictions.

Main thing I've learned: the pain of watching it rise while out of it was far, far, far worse than watching it sink while holding.

definitely, which is why you bought back at $500-ish when it's probably more likely to drop to $450 again before launching :]  you just can't take the risk of missing the boat..

I'd ignore the charts too, bitcoin is too susceptible to big movements by whales and/or news.


While this is true its just as likely to go on an insane run and pull back to where we are now while you wait for $450 Wink

Back in. I'm ready to see some rockets.

Now walk away and come back in a year or two.
The speculating over the long term is always the best way with a very volatile currency/stock.

I'm partly telling myself here since while chasing the *bottom* I missed the actual bottom and have subsequently lost all the hard-fought gains I made in the last couple of months *sigh*
Also I bought in back in December/January.... well above $700 lol

I think if you do the math, you lose more by being out than by being in - if that makes any sense.

Yeah! I hate ShroomsKit!
I think I'm going to do my first ever ignore on here and ignore ShroomsKit. I have said in the past I would never do one at all.  But it is so annoying every time I make a post he says something about my position. He can't get it through his head that I make posts to be social and it has nothing to do with my position and I don't even believe I have the ability to effect this market at all.  I have told him about it several times.

Probably, the wisest thing you can do in this forum.

Then everyone said if it broke 400 we were screwed and there was NO good news from China at all so I sold at 399.

unfortunately a lot of people lose btc by trying to gauge sentiment here before realising most posts are just random gibberish and those that post those things usually don't believe it themselves.

you've taken a hit but you'll recover, just remember to only trade with a portion of your btc (or just hold) so you can be patient and not freak out at sudden movements.


There were a lot of fancy charts and lines and people with autistic math friends Wink

I've learned my lesson.



You have not learned your lesson though.  The biggest lesson is patience.  and buying back here and now is not the best place to have made a trade.

Well I tried to be smart at first and traded BTC for LTC.... I thought hey I can stay in crypto and still make more BTC.
Then I started to trade 2/3 of my LTC for $$ since that made me more on each trade.
Finally a week ago (expecting a big dip) I sold 100% to $$ and then missed the bottom.
The upsetting thing is I nearly bought back in at $9.8 but cancelled it and put in a buy even lower but it didn't go that low again Sad

Ah well... bitcoin keeps life interesting Cheesy

Tera: OK, you have your models, and I have mine. I just laughed when I accidentally found your bullish predictions from 11.Feb, and my refutation of it, of which the latter became true.

The real problem is the lack of framework, imo. To be held accountable in one's predictions, one would need to have a system in place for forecasts, timing, probabilities, buy/sell signals, and to monitor their accuracy. Just waving hands and writing unsystematized stuff in threads does not count. My adhoc query about the percentage probabilities for the remainder of 2014 was a humble attempt to get this a little more accountable.

But of course I realize that most posters don't want it, because it would reveal their badness and expose all the trolls.

That was a great idea to have such a poll with such public specifics, and only a couple of bears participated...   

There were a few people who had very similar thinking to me, but most of the predictions were a bit more bullish than me... and that's o.k.  I hope that they are correct b/c I would profit from that, as well, but I guess I am putting a bit less money into BTC based on my a little bit less bullish sentiment(s).

I have to back TERA a bit here. Everyones so quick to jump on her back at everything she says yet is one of the few posters who make real predictions and tell your their moves and positions in real time. I personally want to say thanks for the intersting material as it is far more insightful than just saying 'sheep' to everything.

Is he a she? I had no idea. Not that it matters.

Think I'm joining you though he might have already ignored me for quoting someone he didn't like weeks ago.
He will be joining 2 other people including mah87 so he can join the trolls he is fond of complaining about lol

Smug disdain for those less fortunate is never nice.
