why so complicated?

new buyers came into the market because of the recent press coverage, it rocketed a while. now that the newbies are done, the sells begin. next hype will come earlier than the last because this time no one was was frightened by a sharp drop this time.

so lets wait for some more news like "hot dog stand in washington accepts bitcoins" and the next rally begins Smiley

That's the thing we're hoping the market makers are benevolent but those of us who have been in the game from teh start of the year have real emotional scars lol behind the price drop - imagine now with all the hype if that were to happen.

It obviously can happen, this is how cryptocurrencies work, and is the downside of having this kind of return available.

At the moment it feels kinda bad, waiting for cheaper prices (post crash) to buy some coins.

I'm a little afraid the price will go straight to $x,000 and never come back, with me never having bought any Bitcoins.

It will be wonderful when that happens. But a 300% gain in a few weeks feels unnatural. Right now I don't believe their is enough of a solid foundation behind BTC to justify that price to the mass public. I always go back and forth on news. I understand BTC and understand its use and value even in the technology alone. So I take that into consideration when evalutaing. If I feel bearish/bullish in news and I understand the use/value imagine what an average investor feels? $30 dip is going to scare the shit out if them and that's bad because there are way more of them right now then tere are people who see the long term potential.

Right, so don't go all-or-nothing. Buy some now, and if it does go down buy more. If it goes up, you'll be glad you at least have some.

I would say buy some as well. It is likely to go up, but as previously stated, it will probably crash first.

My impression is that selling now isn't as dangerous as it was weeks ago. Were definitely crashing into the 300s at some point - the question is when and from how high.

I feel like $445-450 is the new $266 an the bottom is about to fall out any second now.
If price has spent enough time at the same for people to call the top, it is not the top. The top comes unexpectedly, you don't have enough time to write "I feel like" before it is obvious.

We have yet to hit $450 and this is very much looking like March/April. You can deny it all you want but with almost 12 million bitcoin in existence those are no longer in "steady" hands. They are however in the hands of fiat minded average investors, get rich hopefuls, day traders who see an opportunity to take quick profits, and I am not sold on the "China sees the future and value" message that is being touted. I think many people see an opportunity to make a lot of fiat. In order to make fiat one must sell bitcoin. The more bitcoin in existence the more that will need to be purchased by the "steady hands" to maintain a price. That takes a lot of fiat. Also my concern is US regulations around virtual currency come out on the 18th of this month. I feel like this is a penny or pharmaceutical stock right now. Huge media hype, All this talk about 400 billion market cap, we are going to the moon, US adopts bitcoin etc etc. drive the price up and then sell it off right before the real bad news hits the market. Just like a penny stock or a pharm stock that says they doin the cure for cancer and the FDA doesn't approve it.

Like April? WHAT? In April the price hit $266 and immediately started tanking, lag went crazy and caused more fear and lag selling. The price dropped to like 70 in 3 hours. We've been at $400-$440 for over 24 hours now. Nothing like April.

Ok

I'm sorry for speculating. I forgot right now this board is just for high fiving and reiterating the media hype. Now it definitely feels like March/April

Lol, butthurt much? He just made a valid point and you immediately get all defensive.
You are blatantly wrong in your comparison, it might correct severely anyway but this isn't like April at all.

Now cheer up, silly bear!

I think if CoinValidation gets any kind if support, which hopefully it won't, it would take Bitcoin value down by a few hundred.

You should not expect a similar repeat of last bubble, the trend reverse may be more subtle this time,whales suddenly starts red fireworks out of voodoo TA.

I'm not, I was just pointing out that 400+ has in no way behaved like 266 thus far.

WTF? I'm not a permabull and never have been on this board, but right now you are randomly stating that this market in the 400s was exactly the same as $266... and it isn't. You are right in that it could correct and crash sometime soon or later but 400+ hasn't acted like 266 whatsoever.

And if we all truly "knew" that BTC was going to actually sore to this level you all would have kept the B you bought between $3-$30 and none of you would be here on the forum discussing this because you would have cashed out half of your B to fiat and would be globe trotting right now. All of us at some point (at least me and the people I know) had owned 100 B and at some point were not part of the "steady" hands.

Right now feels like late March...

I've been feeling that way for the last three days. Tons of media hype. Skyrocketing prices. Large drops and rises. I feel like $445-450 is the new $266 an the bottom is about to fall out any second now.
Uhhh, you should look at a graph. Late March was the quiet before a +150% storm (and then huge crash but whatever!).
