Title: Why WON'T it hit 100 this year?
Post by: lebing on March 05, 2013, 12:52:10 PM
It seems pretty obvious to me that it will. Anyone have a good reason why it won't?

In this chart, the 2011 bubble is about 5 squares tall. The current rally is only about 1.5 squares.

I hope the price levels off here for several months, but I could see it hitting $100 in this rally.

In this picture, I've shown what a run-up in price similar to 2011 would look like starting from the bottom of the current rally.

This is for comparison purposes only. I don't mean to suggest it will play out the same way.

Here I am.  Why won't it?  Because I say so, that's why.

The higher the price gets the more psychological undoauble it gets for people to buy just 1 BTC.
So comparing the June 2011 rally with now is a little bit off since there is a huge difference between a rally from $1 to 31 and $10 to $100~.

That means the volatility could be relatively smaller, which is good thing.
