I'm thinking something significant will happen to force the price upwards at some point this year and it'll be well on its way upward before most even know what is going on. People have forgotten how insane this market can be when it wants to change.
Hopefully this is the case but we have seen some good news recently that should have raised the price and it is still the stuck, which i might add is not a big deal to me because i have time to get some more end of the month.
I am one who has forgot the insanity that this market can bring i have actually found it quite boring recently. OP i think we will see it again but not any time soon and i believe if it comes it will be legit so will be exciting times.
It could take decades. Take at the max chart of the Nikkei. http://finance.yahoo.com/echarts?s=%5En225+interactive#%7B%22range%22%3A%22max%22%2C%22scale%22%3A%22linear%22%7D
Seeing that, it sure is possible BTC could follow the same fate.
How often do we have a revolutionary design like bitcoin come around though? also as been said before its only going to take a few years for bitcoin to develop to its full potential. Either way im hodling.
The blockchain is revolutionary, yes. But this is also the open market and btc is traded in that market.
By all means, hold.
I fail to say how you can compare that chart with Bitcoins can you explain how you feel that it could share the same fate so that might help me understand what you mean by this? I see nothing that could give you that idea
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikkei_225 They could not be further apart you can't compare the 2 except they can be brought and sold you may as well plucked up a random graph or is that what you done.
Bitcoin is here for the first time there is nothing you or anyone else can do to sway that, especially someone who asked if that is a good idea to short at 240
You're right. You know better.
That example with the Nikkei is given a lot in trend following lectures as it shows that anything is possible in an open market. So there's certainly that possibility that bitcoin could stay under 300usd for longer than we think.
And do not forget the primary catalyst for btc's surge at the end of 2013 was due to price manipulation via Willybot.
Edit: And yup, I asked if shorting from 240 is good. Why...? Cos it's possible it could go down under 200.
Never said i was right and i know better just that you was wrong there is a big difference.
Of course anything is possible but you don't just pull random graphs from where ever you pulled it from
Never said we could not stay below 300, i remember why we had the last bubble pump not disputing that or was i, nope.
That is sweet so now it is possible to go below 200 when it was not when it was 300?
That is my point if you was going to ask to short maybe you're asking at the wrong time and should have enough experience to know it would have been a good time a few weeks ago.
Anyway good luck.
To keep on topic i think we will eventually see 1200 and above we just don't know when.
