while there may be some legitimate similarities between april and this crash, there are a lot of strikingly unique things about this rally.

it has lasted longer.
the ATH stabilized for a lot longer.
the top was more resistant than the april rally.

Yeah, its amazing how many hundreds of threads have talked about this rally as if it is a repeat of others.

Each rally is different with its own set of characteristics.

Pannicked. Sold BTC and bought LTC... Sigh... now I'll wait until LTC is 0.1 BTC to rebuy. Long way to go...


never admit you panic ..you are just following a "unique strategy" don't ya know....(hey works for me)


do tell, what is the unique strategy?

mines to panic sell near the bottom, then buy back much higher just before the next crash...
throw in a bit of gox lax and you got urself a winner  Cool

Since everyone wants to compare this to April...

In April the 3rd day reached the lowest point of the crash - around $50 - that number was never touched again.

This is the 3rd day and the crash reached $650. Will it hold? Certainly it will be tested.

I don't think it will hold. But if we consolidate above $650 for some prolonged time, it will be the most bullish thing that has technically ever happened to Bitcoin.

This is the "crash" everyone has been talking about. This is not a correction. But is this the bottom?

I think we probably go lower than $650. If we do, that's fine, I will rebuy at a more obvious bottom. If we do hold, I'm happy to buy back a little higher too.

Whoa, there are a lot of cats in this wall.




This was funny the first time I saw it, and for the last couple of days it has been mildly annoying.

Now, I cling to it.   Every time I consider selling, I check the price on Bitcoinity, and I am reassured.


Douglas Adams was onto something.  I am now going to cultivate an NMP field around bitcoin until Monday.  Goodnight.

Someone having a BTC1mil or a group having BTC1mil (AHA) bothers me more than BTC crashing to $200. Hopefully this is them cashing out and not manipulating to rebuy even more

And you are quite right to be bothered!



you're a dick, everyone knows bitcoin is volatile and most enter with only what they are willing to lose - there is mention of weak hands being played here, I don't think there are that many - more like greedy hands and greedier hands, selling on the way down with the intention to buy back in but I guess we'll see within a couple of days.

you also talk about the top 50 owning 30%, I don't know if that's true but in the fiat world the top 1% own 41%, the top 10% own 86% and we know they are for the most part, evil mother fuckers so bitcoins distribution is still a definite improvement.

A lot of people don't understand the volatility of bitcoin, especially when their main sources of information on bitcoin is this forum and the Bitcoin subreddit, both of which have an undeniable ''The only way is up'' kind of attitude.
The average person doesn't understand that past performance does not equal future success, they see that bitcoin has quadrupled in the past month and they want to make a quick buck.

1% owning 41% of wealth is 7 million people owning 41% of wealth, an average of 0.00000585% each.
50 people owning 30% of wealth is equivalent of owning 0.6% of wealth each.
This is over 100,000 times worse than the society we live in today!

This can not and will not happen.

So - when does the fat lady sing...?

Come on graph experts - call it - I need some shut eye!



Perhaps a sell off ahead of the weekend?  Sunday bottoms are common.  Sleep now, watch later.

I am here to try and gain perspective into why people think that bitcoin is such a solid investment. In the real world there is no such thing as guaranteed returns, yet so many people here are applauding every time a man sticks his entire retirement fund into bitcoin or a kid who has been saving up for college hears about how bitcoin can double his money in a week decides it would be a good idea to put in all into bitcoin. You welcome these vulnerable naive people with open arms. It is you sir who is deplorable.

In order to dump coins one must have coins
As you may notice the pumping bulls are starting to get scared, we aren't going to see all time highs ever again. Bitcoin will level off and media attention will die off since we're the only reason it was there to begin with was because we were in a period of expontential growth.

People will look back in 3 years time and laugh about how a virtual currency with so many intrinsic flaws managed achieve a market cap of over 12 billion.

Cryptocurrencies may be the future, but it will not be bitcoin.
You need to work on your trolling. C-

Early adopters of BTC hold such a large percentage of the overall wealth, the top 50 BTC holders have over 30% of the total bitcoins ever mined. That is the equivalent of the top 50 richest people in the world all being worth well over 100 billion usd. Is this fair?

Satoshi alone is estimated to have in the region of 5-7% of all the bitcoins ever mined, are we just to accept that he will be our overlord when bitcoin becomes mainstream?

The idea behind bitcoin is good, there are definitely a lot of upsides to a decentralized currency, but bitcoin was built by one man, satoshi isn't a god (despite what a lot of you here may think) and bitcoin isn't perfect.



I for one, welcome our new cryptogenius overlord.

This is the kinda sentiment I'm talking about, but this will not fly in the real world.
Satoshi might not be perfect, but he would definitely be better than the people that are currently in charge of the world.

I don't think anyone really understands, this can not happen, it doesn't matter how benevolent a person is believed to be, we can not have someone who controls that much wealth, and its not only Satoshi.

Have a look at this list and reevaluate your opinions.

Well, if you're not interested in BTC and think it's failure I really don't see a point. I don't go on places I'm not interested in.

I never said I wasn't interested, it just seems that when someone comes up with a very valid argument that one of you bulls can not counter, they are either ignored or shunned.

Bitcoin is very interesting from an Anthropological standpoint.

It's Bitcoin enthusiasts forum, we don't really care about arguments of your type. Try with commenting on CNN articles about Bitcoin or so, you'll have more luck.

It seems you're an idiot, if you are unable to defend your opinions and ideals from other peoples rational arguments then you are no better than a cultist.

The thing is that I don't give a shit about your arguments. Hopefully, you'll understand that soon Tongue

Didn't you say BTC was done for?  What are you still doing here?

I'm sorry, you're right, unless I'm a bull trying to pump BTC to all time highs as much as possible I shouldn't be here.


You are either here because you want to see bitcoin succeed, because you want to gloat when it fails, or to make as much money off of other people while it fails.   You are clearly not here because you want to see it succeed, and are deplorable for either of the other two reasons.   Go away, and please let the door hit you on the way out.

I am here to try and gain perspective into why people think that bitcoin is such a solid investment, in the real world there is no such thing as guaranteed returns, yet so many people here are applauding every time a man sticks his entire retirement fund into bitcoin or a kid who has been saving up for college hears about how bitcoin can double his money in a week decides it would be a good idea to put in all into bitcoin.
