Why is the price still going down? 
And what the hell is wrong with Bitstamp...

So we're going to $30 "again"? =)
It would be cool if we dropped like this. I wonder if Shroomskit managed to sell at the recent high.

This is a little out of date in some respects, but with recent events it may come back sharply into focus soon. I was curious to see just how much Silk Road was contributing to what was a strong underlying growth trend in Bitcoin price - and the answer seems to support the claims that it was almost entirely responsible (more than I expected, see below).
I doubt there's many people that believe Bitcoin got to the current giddy heights through mass adoption or genuine utility, so the next question is what happens to Bitcoin if the factors driving it up there disappear along with Silk Road?
Correlation != causationI doubt there's many people that believe Bitcoin got to the current giddy heights through mass adoption or genuine utility, so the next question is what happens to Bitcoin if the factors driving it up there disappear along with Silk Road?
As far as I've seen, most people accept already that silk road was an important driver of the demand for bitcoins (outside of speculative bubbles), and so the price, the surprise is just how tight the relationship appears to be.
C'mon, you know it's true really....
So we're going to $30 "again"? =) It must be hard that you can't accept that what drives the price is peoples belief that bitcoin will be huge in the future. Price itself has little to do with what you can do with bitcoins today. Did you sold all your coins before we went over $100 and now you want to buy back without loss?

Watch the 14-day average: the crash yesterday stopped just above it in the big-4 exchanges (gox, btce, stamps, china)
October 25, 2013, 06:41:12 AM
You'll see 150$ tomorrow. Don't fall asleep.
Maybe in stamp, but even there support is strong at $160 so IF we go down more then maybe $165-170 at gox is where it stops.

Hmm, I'm out for a while, if we drop below 180 all hell might break loose. If we go back to 200, I'll gladly buy back at a loss.
I think we can expect a bounce at 176

Cause Bitstamp is acting strange.
What's up with bitstamp?
Check Bitcoinity or trading.i286.org for example.

Why are we going down?
I think there is a group of people who speculated in the last bubble and only check things like bitcoin over the weekend, and they see this as an opportunity to get out.
Anyone remembers the friday seller from the slow decline? He might be back!
October 25, 2013, 05:38:24 AM
dilemma: i have only fiat at stamp. where should i place buy oders? 
(going to sleep in an hour)
risk waking up with the chinese going berserk again and missing a 190$ buyin point
or just missing another massive dump and be able to buy back at 160 or so
pff this kinda sucks about bitcoin: the exchanges never close.

place a bid at the very top.
buy now if u dont want to play risky
Great advice, thanks!
Glad I didn't listen
The thin orderbook is perfect for small increases of my fiat: buy at 181.5, sell at 184.5, its only a .25% fee or so at stamp => 1% profit per trade. Managed to do 5 or so succesful.

Sales at 182.55, buys at 189.86999, what the fuck is going on?
Thin orderbook... This small downtrend is based on almost no volume at all, I don't think it has any grounds.
