Title: I believe the price will be going up and here's why Post by: btcprice on November 22, 2013, 07:22:58 PM Plenty of people were hearing about tulips and previous bubbles and blowoffs and sorts. When we went parabolic and hit 900 and then started going down, people were afraid of having the price crash down to below 200 or even 100.
But the price bounced at 475. By then many people sold at between 500-600. Since I believe this market is manipulated just like any other market, this means that more bitcoins were available at 500-600. The manipulators were able to get a good deal at that price, especially when they will manipulate it above 1000 eventually (rather shortly I believe). The frightened people who sold at between 500-600 will be left holding the bag. Title: Re: I believe the price will be going up and here's why Post by: eindbaas on November 22, 2013, 07:54:25 PM ok

I'm thinking of the deflationary nature of the currency, the intrinsic value in the unique attributes of cryptocurrency, the decreasing stability of fiat issuers, etc.. ?

I was talking about short-term price increase. Should be an interesting night of fireworks once again.

Just remember, Bitcoin monetary base is currently inflating faster than USD monetary base in percentage terms. In the long run, this inflation will fall below USD supply inflation, but it is still well above it.
