I sense a crash coming. Share your floor predictions.

I also sense a crash, but not in bitcoins. Fiat crash is coming to a stock market near you.

Depends on the scenario. If the USA, EU and China ban bitcoin <30$.

We all know that prohibition always makes the thing being prohibited less valuable. Wink

The freedom to transfer value without permission or middlemen is more important to me than ingesting substances which governments around the world have outlawed. We all know how well that worked out.

Bitcoin was designed to be ban proof from the start.

Can't agree with that. As you know Bitcoin was designed to have progressively lower block rewards, while mining revenue was supposed to increasingly come from transaction fees. This means that as time goes by a larger price and volume become necessary to keep mining profitable. By banning Bitcoin governments can destroy every chance of mainstream adoption while leaving Bitcoin a much smaller part of the economy in which it can operate. The price would crash leaving many ASICS unprofitable making the network much weaker. It's role as a transfer of value would be severely damaged because of the difficulty to exchange it for fiat as no formal exchange can exist anymore.

True, but then only people will invest who really need bitcoins (drugs, guns, etc). I think currently at least 90% of the investors just want to get rich LEGALLY. Banning bitcoin will definetly have huge impact on the market cap.

You want a worst case scenario price prediction? $0.

Unless you think there is a possibility that in the future you will have to pay people to take your bitcoins.

$800 actual gox bottom, $650 if some major FUD comes out in the following weeks, $500 if proudhon's sources are correct

They are official Chinese sources so obviously they're correct.

proudhon is full of BS, provide links to some Chinese government site to make the FUD look authentic while none of the links contain anything about BTC.

0. That's the worst case scenario. Glad we got that sorted.

450 stamp is where the bottom of a logarithmic channel meets the falling resistance from Jan 5th. I can't construct anything meaningful lower than that.

No crash is coming. You're thinking in pre-2014 terms. Market sentiment is transformed now. Any selling in the future will happen slowly and deliberately as you can see from the past few weeks

Your btc market empathy is quite impressive !
And it's too bad that you wait till november 2013 to share with all forum members your insightful long term analysis Grin

Yeah right - if Bitcoin gets banned in the whole world then I reckon around $25 per coin is the right value. Roll Eyes

super cheap coins, I can only dream....

We will see 2-300$ coins this year again, maybe not not this weekend. But rather expect sooner than later.

No crash is coming. You're thinking in pre-2014 terms. Market sentiment is transformed now. Any selling in the future will happen slowly and deliberately as you can see from the past few weeks, and using previous crash data to calculate lows will fail.
