Title: Who can tell me what going on with the price?

That's could be any reason, but it doesn't seem to be linked to any news? ??? ???

Holding anyway. :)

Nobody can tell you. It's all speculation, and you should've learned by now that we don't necessarily need some news for the price to go up or down. If it did that we should be skyrocketing right now with all the good news and merchants getting involved recently.

It's because of Alex Jones. He started accepting it and now the world thinks it's crazy.

Seriously though, there is no sense in the bitcoin world. It'll probably have bounced back within a few days.

No one can. Of course, many will tell you they know the answer. You may notice that their assessments disagree. That is because they are often baseless guesses. The only thing that can be said with certainty is that when the price is going down supply is outpacing demand.

Buying opportunity??? ???  I kid, but not really.  Get in on the dip!

Most likely FUD news as usual:

http://blogs.wsj.com/totalreturn/2014/08/12/five-questions-about-the-bitcoin-crackdown/

http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/the-switch/wp/2014/08/11/consumer-bureau-now-taking-and-expecting-bitcoin-complaints/

Too risky, need regulation, Bitcoin is the wild wild west Yada Yada.  Same song and dance.

Bitcoin always plummets on bad or critical news, slight increase or stabilizes or consolidates on positive news, and goes to the moon on no news it seems.

So like I said, BUY BUY BUY!   8)

No special news. Maybe impatient whales waiting for the next bubble decided to dump their coins.  :)

Nothing really. People are just getting shaken out, like Dogecoin.

Nice chart :D

In my opinion the price is only bouncing and in few weeks we will see over $600 values, but don't quote me on this :)

(one of many speculative reasons)

the guys selling Ether (currently a vapour product, not even a real altcoin until 2015) for bitcoin last month, have dumped some bitcoin. but now it seem the price is climbing again to retrace back to the resistance point prior to the dump. so 'hopefully' thats the days drama finished with.

Lately it seems to go down the beginning of the month and bounces back towards the end.


Cheap coins anyway.

Price goes up, price goes down - you can't explain that. I gave up trying to make sense of the fluctations.

And shouldnt this be in speculation?

and heres the elliot wave theory  :)

bottom at 538 in August rising to $1,000 by 2nd week of Sept...there are many more..visit Speculation and while away some time.
HOLY SHIT that's dead accurate within $10 and two days, and it's a prediction made a month ago!

Who is this guy?

Hold on, let me link some graph that shows you how much I know about the trends of bitcoin and claim it will be at 0 dollars/10,000 dollars in 5 years.

There are hundreds (or maybe thousands) of speculations through the forum, it's normal that someone can predict the right price.
It would be surprising if the price will really rise to $1000 in the second week of September :)

It's just a good time to buy. It's will go back up in the next month I bet.

The price was already unstable and then the US Consumer Financial "Protection" Bureau released a very negative report calling Bitcoin "the Wild West."

This is what I feel is the reason for the recent decline. We may even have further to go.

My guess: The mining ROI for bitcoin is decreasing for (new?) mining farms. As compared to the past, they have divert more mined BTC to pay the operational bills in whatever local currency. This is currently overriding the commercial dissemination of BTC.

This would be speculation, but I would think it has to do with the CSFB warning about bitcoin being the "wild west"

These kind of warning make it less likely that consumers will want to buy and use bitcoin as they fear they will get scammed out of their money. If less people buy and use bitcoin then the price will go down

Honestly, who listens to them? If I hadn't been following Bitcoin very closely, I never would have heard about their advice. I do think it's the cause of the price drop, but long term it should have little effect.
