if bitcoin doesn't bounce HARDCORE VERY SOON just forget it and move to the  next coin. Problem is maybe in parts not even identified and could be with the wrong people holding the coins - possible large amounts of stolen coins sold and so on.

Just do the switch to the other coin if bitcoin has problems which can't be solved or even fully identified.

It's too volatile anyways. Next time choose a coin with less inflation (look at the nice ripple-pump as an example)


Bitcoin suffers from an array of identified problems which need a solution (mining rewards are shit, inflation sucks)
And then there are likely unidentified problems. So why all this shit? Because you are obsessed with the idea of bitcoin being the first try which works out perfect first time and taking over the world?
So because you are obsessed and narrow minded people need to use that? NO! There are alternatives!

i do take all people serious with the exception of ripple-shills so please use another account if you want to take part in discussion. This one is burned already.

Ripple dumps when bitcoin pumps  - be sure about that.
Ripple is nothing people want to invest in longterm.

LOGIC: "If bitcoin price hits $x.yz then it failed and you should move on to <Q>coin."

I think Bitcoin is a good buy at these levels for those with a 2 or 3 year outlook.

Ripple is a "strong sell" at this point in my view.

no, bitcoin does not fail because of price but because of fundamentals, bro
That for one and for the other there are problems in the background that have not been fully indentified.
These are the reasons. Price-charts is just the sympthom of the things.
Of course it's unusable for  anything with this volatility, actually.

So spare me your standard 1000 times repeated BS
It's no fit here. Totally out of place and context response.

Wasn't Bitcoin already declared failed when it hit $600 $500 $400 after the +$1000 peak  :D

Sounds like some people got burned heavily  :P

Have you not noticed that with bitcoin crashing ALL other altcoins are doing the same (except some of the pump and dump coins). And since they are all linked to bitcoin in terms of value there value is actually decreasing more than bitcoin

Well, since christmas is coming, a lot of people sold their BTC in order to buy gifts for their family/friends.
But this is quite a drop...

So, your definition of fail is a drop in price? Wow. Impressive.

How exactly has bitcoin failed? Just because the price dropped back to normal levels doesn't mean it's failed...
By that logic, almost any currency in the world has failed. Look at the ruble just recently.

Give us your price prediction for new years day if you are so good at predicting prices.

I'm not taking advice but I want to compare his prediction to the real price on new years day to see how good/lucky his prediction was.

his prediction about bitcoin going up or down is irrelevant. No coin is going to take over bitcoin in the next few years. All coins are linked to bitcoin whether you like it or not since most companies only allow you to buy and sell bitcoin for fiat and then convert to the coin of your choice.

Right, since people that have to sell their BTC in order to afford Christmas gifts are the same people controlling the market.

Ripple shills want to dump their coins to some clueless people. Just waiting for an omega dump for ripple :P

Okay and yeah it has the setback clearly inked but what other altcoins that you think is good enough to replace bitcoin? In terms of new technology, I can't think of any. The rest is basically purely marketing driven that artificially inflates the value of the coin. And.... do you notice all altcoins still take bitcoin as the benchmark for valuation.

Bitcoin suffers from an array of identified problems which need a solution (mining rewards are shit, inflation sucks)

Is it just me or are the only two problems smalltimer listed a complete contradiction? If mining rewards are shit (low?), then inflation would be low, right? And vice-versa, if inflation sucks (is too high?) then mining rewards are not low (shit?), right?

I guess I'm just not wise enough to comprehend...

Moving on to the next coin may be a bad decision, but I do agree that we need a decent and definite correction up now. Big volume and re-test of the $275s or even lower prices. Bleeding out slowly doesn't help anyone now!

I think bitcoin will remain king for a couple more years before other alts begin taking the lead.

I don't believe one would necessary find salvation through another cryptocurrency especially with even lower probability of mainstream adoption.

If the bitcoin price 'stabilizes' at a level like $100, while bad news for speculators hoping for +$1,000 levels, could pave the way for greater acceptability all-around in mainstream markets. The keyword here - and it's a relative definition - is 'stabilize'. Volatility - whether dramatically upwards or downwards - isn't conducive for growing acceptance and adoption.

the coin just needs to go up - then adoption will follow
bitcoin is too much inflation so it goes down and is very volatile - so it has become a casino and normal people don't like to touch it because it goes up 10x in 3 weeks and then falls for 12 months +

if you had a coin that could hold value and would actually keep going up or at least have shorter bearmarkets that one would be adopted IN NO TIME!

But everyone here is pretty masochistic and also fearful so we keep shortselling to each other while outsiders keep wondering what's wrong with these lunatics on this forum ...

well, at least some miners made a buck ...

I would personally doubt that any altcoin will ever dominate bitcoin in terms of total market cap nor in terms of user adoption. To date nothing has added anything to the table that bitcoin does not offer and the quality of altcoins are only going down over time.

I am also not sure about the price needing to bounce for it to ever increase in price again. The price of bitcoin has been down for a long time before so I don't see any reason why it couldn't be down for a long time now and then eventually rebound
