Title: When is this bubble bursting?
Post by: Xiaoma on August 31, 2013, 05:11:42 PM
I wrongly expected this artificially inflated value to end already, but then this clear bubble started forming, pushed up by whales abandoning the Gox ship.
Now I'm really puzzled how long can this go on before there are no more coins Gox?

I would like to think that.  I thought that last time when the price got over $200 (for a day or so).  I think the longer we have been into Bitcoin the more we realized that this is a roller coaster ride and not a smooth train upwards.  It might not dip down below $100 ever again but I would be shocked if we do not get over $200 or $300 without another slide back down to $150 or so.  Just my thoughts.

The bubbles isn't over until hash rates stop rising.  The first generation hardware is a few months at most from being unprofitable to run which would collapse the bubble, but manufacturers are still looking at producing still more efficient hardware that might continue to pump up this bubble for a while longer.

The bubble is over when a better coin arises. Could be a long time from now.

This bubble will not crash down to double digits. It will more likely crash down to triple digits, after rising to a few thousand. Anyone waiting for cheap coins is going to be disappointed.

hashrate follow price? or price follows hashrate? whatever it is hashrate is going up in the forseeable future and only up

I didn't ask when bitcoin is dead, just when the correction is gonna happen. There is pretty much no volume on the exchanges, so this artificial price is going down soon.

That depends on whose opinion you ask.

Some of us consider the last 2 months' steady climb to be a correction itself after the artificially low prices caused by the DHS/Dwolla/MtGox fiasco.

Not everybody considers the recent string of askwall-busting whale buys and ensuing bidwalls to be panickers trying to "get their money out of Gox". Some people consider the possibility that some group(s) is trying to amass a large inventory of coins while driving up the price, likely before announcing something that will create additional demand and push the price even higher.

The push through 140 on MtGox was done without assistance from the whales. My guess is that sometime within the next 48 hours, they'll be back to smash 150.

This is indeed no bubble - i think...

This is nomal bitcoin value growth after the recent dip


Just take a look at this chart:

The number of new members isn't exploding (like in the previous bubbles) it is just a normal rate, pretty stable at the moment. The number of posts and topics however is growing, whcih indicates more interest in bitcoin economy I suppose.

I don't call buble at the moment, but still keep an eye on these numbers. When the number of new members is accelerating again, we need to watch out and take some profits (and buy back in at a lower price)
