I'm just wondering that maybe bitcoin inflates because some certain people can use it as an advantage in some aspects. If ever it is what would you think of the outcome? Is this good for us or bad?
Those "some certain people" are us. The last thing I said, the last time I posted in here, was that this (Bitcoin) is our baby. Not for the old guard and grey hairs, or the boys on Wall St. It's for the young (for the most part), the techies, and to a fairly large degree people that deploy anonymity and either currently or at one time at least used the dark web and TOR. Or at least, that's the demographic that discovered it the soonest when the value was still low. And it sounds like you're implying something along the lines of insider trading. I mentioned that as well. Only again, it's us holding those reigns too. I said that if a bunch of us coordinated ourselves together here and made decisions in numbers, and said: "Buy, Buy, Buy!"... the price would climb steeply. That's all it really is, only we have the benefit of actually being able to get away with something like that and it's just talking... or a recommendation/prediction.
Definitely good for us. But... I still have a feeling that eventually something bad will happen and a bunch of people will lose their money. Just a hunch. The cover story will likely be that some super hacker ripped everyone off, who was of course so good he was completely untraceable. But it will be an inside job. I've said before that I think the value will grow to 35K before that happens, and possibly even a good bit more.
Also we are probably in for a correction in the near future. 2 signs that almost always preclude a slide are 1) Hitting a new high, and 2) The price growing stagnant after doing so. Now you may be thinking: "Wait, the price isn't stagnant, it just went up over 2K today at one point." Well sure, but it also was already at 17K almost a week ago, dropped down to the high 14K's, climbed back up again, then down again, then back to 17K again, and now as I look I see it going down into the 16's. So for pretty much a week straight it's been teetering between the upper 14K's to the 17K's, back & forth. And this correction could very well make that one we had when we went from 6700 to like 5200 look like a mere speed bump. We are after all dealing with larger numbers and fluctuations now. I mean heck, that was only a 1500 dive. It seemed like a lot then, but now fluctuations like that happen all in a days work... or, make that several hours work actually. And that is a very good thing indeed. What would have felt like a major slide just a month and a half ago, now you look at and don't even feel the slightest bit alarmed.
And, of course, it shall rise again. But after reaching a new high a week has elapsed where the price seems as if it's stuck in quick sand, and in regards to past trends that usually spells a decline. But then again for goodness sakes the friggin price climbed to 10K before this year was even over, which only the most optimistic in here predicted. Most more conservative estimates said it would happen by mid 2018. And then by the time we went to the fridge to grab a beer to celebrate it was sitting at 17K. So, I mean... it's hardly a bad sign or even bad news really. It's just inevitability.
