I was hoping for bitcoin to reach $600 this month but I don't see that happening anymore
I believe most of the growth has been holding back because of the recent news lately surrounding bitcoin
$600 for this month was too high to become reality. Even $500 will be very difficult to reach as this dump made people buy at sub $400 prices, and thus there will be more sellers when we approach $500 the comming month(s). The bad news from Cryptsy and Mike Hearn was just a small bump in our road to $500, but we'll be there eventually. Patience is needed here.
If there's a bad news, there's also a good news that will lead to cause of big pump. $600 is still possible because still we are in January. We don't know what will happen to price.
