Title: A perma-bull's take on this situation Post by: mano21 on September 25, 2014, 01:53:48 PM I am and forever will be long term bullish on Bitcoin.
However, I think it is pretty clear right now that there is ZERO confidence in the markets. It is pathetic that we cannot even stabilize above $430 after what happened the other day. Many weak hands are scared and leaving the market. Scared money doesn't make money, so please let me have more of your cheap coins :) I think we will see $375 and stay around 4xx for a long time though before anything jumps off again.

I think that it's reasonable given the scope of integration... if we were looking at announcements for bitcoin wallets and full integration into Ebay, that would have been a much different situation. Title: Re: A perma-bull's take on this situation Post by: Schickeria on September 25, 2014, 02:16:13 PM I think you selected a wrong thread title. As you write you are a long term bull (long term holder), not a permabull. A permabull is something stupid and irrational. They deny obviously bear markets and are getting overexcited on even very tiny bounces. It's something emotional and very unreasonable. Out of fairness I will admit that they may have some positive impact to Bitcoin as they form a strong community around it.
But your interpretation of the current market situation same as your outlook is far too reasonable to call yourself a permabull ;) Title: Re: A perma-bull's take on this situation Post by: inca on September 25, 2014, 02:40:48 PM Every thread like this brings the end of this bear market closer. I think we are at an interesting inflection. 30 minutes of heavy volume and the price rallied 10%. The price may fall further, but the major move of this decline is likely behind us. For all the book talking about lack of demand on the exchanges the risk/reward ratio has shifted perceptibly away from the short side. One or two more unexpected surges on positive news and none in their right mind will short bitcoin..
Title: Re: A perma-bull's take on this situation Post by: sinner on September 25, 2014, 02:43:46 PM i'm a perma bull as well, but based on some of the TA (masterluc, Ryan, DanV) i think we're going to 280-290 over next 2-3 months before starting the next big bull trend. i think that trend could see 2015 looking similar to 2012, and the next block party coinciding with a big move, possibly parabolic.

But I even agree with what was said above that we might even see prices sub 3xx. We are at a crossroads now boys. Uncharted waters. Let's see what happens in Q4. Title: Re: A perma-bull's take on this situation Post by: ssmc2 on September 25, 2014, 03:23:32 PM I think one thing we can all agree on is that when the next surge does start, it will be swift and it will be violent.

Very much so. Can't wait to see where the next one ends up. Title: Re: A perma-bull's take on this situation Post by: TheJuice on September 25, 2014, 05:51:36 PM This is what always happens prior to a huge bull run. If we look back, before nearly every large run up (maybe except 2011 since that was the first true run) there was a long slide. Long time holders pulled money out to the sidelines. However, given most people who have bought bitcoin are believers this money is waiting to move back in.
What does that mean? Instead of all bitcoin holders being 100% invested (which is what happens at a bubble/peak) we are probably around 50% invested. Once we start to move up that money will move back in. Once it starts moving we get anotehr snow ball effect and the moon. This may takes a year. But I am confident we will see new ATH by the next split. Title: Re: A perma-bull's take on this situation Post by: OgNasty on September 25, 2014, 09:17:31 PM As a fellow perma-bull myself, I think the recent price lagging can all be explained by the Chinese (miners and manufacturers). I believe that they are comfortable mining at a razor thin profit margin in order to get $. When it was just more developed countries mining for the most part, everyone felt they should become millionaires for running a miner. I think the Chinese are happy making a few extra cents per day where some of us want dollars. Eventually, the difficulty will catch up to where even they aren't satisfied with their returns, and we will see the mother of all bubbles as they dump miners and take positions as Bitcoin holders instead of selling for an immediate tiny gain. I don't think we're in the, "but it's different this time" stage yet.

Satoshi should have known better than forcing 10% inflation on us almost a decade into adoption. He is probably mining himself the shit out of it and dumping as fast as he can to this day.

It's ment for miners to cash out on the noobs. It was the first experiment. Today we are able to strike a better balance between interest of adopters/investors and miners than bitcoin did. Look how insane that armsrace was. There was far too much money in mining.

Inflation is not the problem, therefore it has little effect on the eco-system even when it's lower. The PoW mining expense is the problem, $500M per year currently, and will grow higher if Bitcoin price rise. Therefore, it's hard for Bitcoin price to rise.

Inflation killed off adoption. Like it or not. Best case would be for it to find its floor here. We are two inches from a panic. If we see that panic it is game over.

And to go to the length of telling people the orders were an illusion tops it off really. Maybe next time better more accurate. Bitcoin exchanges using the Mt Gox model are rigged by design. IIRC someone suggested that Bitcoin exchanges are like casino card games where the dealer is allowed to play and look at everyone's hand. I would add that they can even change the rules as it suits them. Mt Gox is the only one caught rigging so far. The exchanges need to be regulated by an independent third party. exchanges could be naked shortselling all they want aswell. Happens on some alt-exchanges, i am sure.

As a perma-bear, I can tell you BTC price chart looks exactly the same as a penny stock pump and dump that waves widly in the wind back n forth back n forth until its literally worth $0.00 There's no walls high enough for Bitcoin to go to $0 I think double digits are gone for good Title: Re: A perma-bull's take on this situation Post by: Dafar on October 01, 2014, 07:44:04 PM I think we will see $375 and stay around 4xx for a long time though before anything jumps off again. That is quite possible scenario That's what I think too.... and hopefully this "long time" is relative to bitcoin (so months to a few years) and not human life (5+ years) Title: Re: A perma-bull's take on this situation Post by: Room101 on October 01, 2014, 11:30:26 PM sure. What i start to see around here though is this preaching of 'hodling' and 'it will be 10k$ 100% sure' ... i think that's dangerous. And to go to the length of telling people the orders were an illusion tops it off really. Maybe next time better more accurate. Sure, having certainty about any market is dangerous. But, to a certain degree walls are sometimes used to create misperception of support/resistance. Is something meant to create misperception not the definition of an illusion? I'm not sure what you're trying to say with the bold part, I got a parse error trying to read it. All of those "buy walls" are sooo fake... I watch many of those people cancel ALL THE TIME!

Darknet markets are growing at over 10% per month apparently. BTC has a price floor of triple digits simply by that alone.

Im fine with this... more "cheap" coins for me too. As long as adoption rate continues to climb I am happy. Price is being kept artificially low, wether it be manipulation or loss of faith. After that is done.... we all know what is going to happen. Title: Re: A perma-bull's take on this situation Post by: bababooey on October 02, 2014, 05:28:01 PM I think we will see price in the $200s this year but no lower than that. Eventually things will turn around, but as to when, that's anyone's guess.

The selling pressure is halving every two years as the block reward drops. This reward used to be twice as high as now but the price was multiples lower than today. In early 2016 it will half again. Predicting falling prices based upon a decelerating rate of inflation goes against common sense and the long term bitcoin bull market. Your reasoning is suspect.

Dude check the charts, read the order books, of course selling is limited but look how much is taking place! $1.8m in mining revenue PER DAY man, think about it... Over $2m per day would need to come into bitcoin just to maintain the current price! You're logic is waiting for the rewards to half wow. Will that somehow get people to actually use bitcoin?? Or will they just keep dumping for fiat?! Lets be serious here. |
