I cant wait for a downtrend so I can lend BTC

So why don't you sell off part of your BTC at the integrated exchange and lend them out as USD?

The nice thing with this lending business is that it gives you a constant small revenue every day. The downside is that, whenever the lending becomes really profitable, you could make way more by day trading, by going with and only slightly against the predominant market movement. So basically it boils down to taking low risks == lending, taking high risks == day trading.

But in both cases its not a good idea to fight the current market sentiment. Since the sentiment is (still) rather bullish right now, you'll make more money by lending USD

Why would you need to wait for a downtrend?

There's very little short volume right now for whatever reason. There's plenty of offers to loan out BTC on Bitfinex right now, but nobody is biting.

Heh. Sorry I ran out - only got so many dollars on hand to pass out to starry-eyed dreamers. Hard to get more into Bitfinex without either eating wire fees or taking the slow boat through Dwolla and Gox.

She might pause. Get a bit humpy bumpy. Still up n up. Ask the day traders and bears how they've fared in the last 5 days. Guessing 50 by Monday night.

Decent numbers of votes so far, thanks all!

As I write this BTC is back to what I sold out at, $45.50/USD.

I suspect the MTGox / Coinlab deal will be bullish for Bitcoin. If fear of the IRS leads to United States citizens and residents withdrawing thier BTC to personal wallets then this will reduce the chance of emotional panic selling by those with weak hands. On the other hand this deal will make it a lot easier for many in the United States to purchase Bitcoin by facilitating bank transfers.

I think there will be a fair amount of people who don't want their funds repatriated and have closer government oversight. Plus possible tax reporting implications. For people holding large stores of bitcoin and wishing to cash out, there's no doubt they'll use cash-in-mail or cash-in-person trades to hide the gains. As for middling players (such as MtGox traders), it might be something as simple as pulling all BTC into a personal wallet and waiting to see what CoinLabs does once they takeover. Could at least stagnate the price for a short time.

Good analysis but conclusion is pure b$: if large weak hands withdraw their BTC to personal wallets, they can not sell in the exchange, and this is bullish to the price, is it not?

Quote from: cptmooseinc on March 10, 2013, 02:48:36 PM

Don't forget that CoinLabs will be taking over US Gox soon, so that may dampen the movement of BTC, and many may hold on until the last second before dumping/withdrawing. I plan on having my entire Gox liquidated before CoinLabs takes control. I'll open a new account and test it out with them before giving permission for them to access my other information in my real account.

Most people aren't that paranoid. Bitcoin started because it was the currency of the revolution. In fact it's success will come when it's the currency of the people.

And as facebook has proven- people really don't mind telling anyone everything about themselves, including the government.

What is the concern there? That it will be botched somehow and the exchange might be slow or down? Isn't that short term bearish?

I suspect more and more people are holding their coins waiting for the price going up in the hundreds. At the same time more and more people will try to jump on board and try to get some coins. I say we'll see $75 in a couple of days.
