Title: Speculation Bet: Bitcoin will NOT hit $400 (non-gox price) by 12-31-14
Post by: Bitsinmyhead on February 02, 2014, 11:55:08 AM
If it hits $400 or lower on stamp/BTC-e on or before 12-31-14 I will pay you. If not I will be paid 01-01-15.
We will do escrow.
Willing to bet 1-100 BTC on this.

PS: If you are taking me up on this bet you are stupid and making a very big mistake  ;D.

I agree that it isn't very likely to happen... but I think a June/July 2013 type crash is still a possibility. If we scale the numbers for that, we might very well see bitstamp prices in the 300s very briefly. However, I don't think this scenario is very likely to happen, so definitely no bet from me :P Anyway, I prefer to trade this instead of betting on it...

Based on the comments and threads on this forum, you should be getting 50+ takers for this bet. Surprised our resident doomsayers have not shown up to rid you of your easy money. ;)

Perhaps bears can do math.

Judging from the 4hour chart of Bitstamp, we will not see even $850 again this year... :)

People, please stop proposing bets. This is bitcoin, it can go both up and down a lot.
But I'm really curious to know if that huge dump to 102$ on BTC-E was a fluke (mistake?) or the dumper(s) knew something.

My guess?  Impulse (Panic) selling.  You want to clear out your holdings at the top, so you sell all your BTC at price 1$ and cross your fingers that you were one of the first to do so.  

If enough people sell to 1$ instead of limiting the loss at say, $500, this is what you get.

Some people are going to be very sad today.
