How can you say there is 0% chance of below 200? That is ridiculous. There is no such thing as 0% chance. What if tomorrow,
1. U.S. bans bitcoin
2. A flaw is found in the code
3. EC or SHA256  is broken
4. The existing exchanges shut down due to fraud or seizure.
5. Someone randomly decides to dump 30KBTC at market on bitstamp.
6. The economy melts down

sub 1% total.  6 is not a case.  in a meltdown btc will only correlate weakly.


I guess when you have 0 knoweldge on finance, then you can't see that the main thing that gives value to BTC is actually USD and without USD, then BTC would be just a fun play money without the ability to cost anything.

I'm looking at your predictions and most of you guys are overly optimistic. You give 5-10% to a BTC price above $7000 :O I consider myself an optimist and a bull and I think we'll see a new high this year, but that would be ~$1500. If you think we can reach $5k or more this year you're dreaming.

1200 seemed totally crazy and exaggarated in early 2013 when a coin was at 10$/BTC.
If BTC enters a rally, and that is only a question of time, do you really think it will just surpass the previous ATH by a measly 25%?
That's like the last rally ending at 332$ gox price.

If btc starts rallying, it is like a russian locomotive, it won't stop, there's just too much momentum, too much euphoria, hype, it will keep going and
going and going. So 5k/BTC is in no way exaggarated. Perhaps even way less exaggarated than predicting 1200$ ATH in early 2013.
As I said before, last year people were more confident. Gox pumped the price with a bot, Chinese market looked healthy.

This year it's a bit different, a lot of FUD, people seem nervous, overreacting and dumping cluelessly. A large number of investors lost money on Gox, some just backed away from planned investments hearing that so much money disappeared.
I don't think we'll see last year's growth again, at least until the Gox case gets closed and/or China's policy changes.

How about we stop talking about those fakers ?
China , really?

I just hope that chinese police storms houbi and okcoin headquarters so all the world finds out they only have 100 btc and 1000 monkeys doing fake volume trades.
I agree and like I said, the Chinese situation will ultimately have little effect on the downtrend one way or the other. The downtrend is in force because there are not enough buyers on stamp etc. to support these levels and that will only change once the volume of buyers increases consistently.

And you went long? right?
It's a trade.

Capital has to flow into the hands of competent managers for sustainable growth to happen.

That is so misapplied in this use that I don't....  It's obvious that allocating capital from a low margin operation to a high margin operation increases net productivity, if you take margin as a proxy for productivity.  That is the transmission mechanism by which speculative trades can enhance allocation in a stock market, with multiple securities.  I dont' think the ratio of btc/usd trading to btc/alt trading allows us to apply analogous reasoning to crypto markets.

All that volume on Huobi and only 10% to the upside and starting to fizzle? That doesn't look good to me, on top of the fact that this "ATM" work around will not only take time to have any sort of legitimate impact, but will likely be cut off at the knees before anything materializes.

There was a coordinated evaporation of buy orders this morning ...

Now you just sound paranoid.  Exactly how does one "coordinate" an evaporation of buy orders?

Want to bet 1 btc that price will not visit above 5000? You have a 5% edge according to your estimations.

Nah, there's a 45% chance it doesn't happen until Jan 1st, 2015. Not worth the risk  Tongue

Either you stand by your estimations or you admit they are complete BS.

Dude, calm down. There are plenty of people responding to this mini-poll, go bug them. I have no insider knowledge, so like everyone else my estimates are "BS".

I was assuming that the whole purpose of this poll was that it was about the future and not in the past.  Otherwise I would have made a snide remark about how 3 exchanges already visited $102.

3?
btce bitfinex mtgox

I didn't know mtgox was still an exchanger when that happened Smiley)))
