You have your poll worded rather confusingly. Why are there two options for 50%? Also, having the poll question as a negative is confusing.

Better would be:

Poll question: How confident are you that bitcoins will drop below $25 at some point in the future?

- 100% Bitcoins will definitely fall below $25
- 75%
- 50% they may or may not drop below $25
- 25%
- 0% Bitcoins will never fall below $25

I like this poll better.  It needs an additional option:  "I'm always sure about nothing!"

I'd still vote for tacos, though.  Especially if the shells are flour tortillas, gently fried in olive oil.

Anyway, sixty days ago 1BTC was priced at half of today's going rate. There hasn't been time to properly test the new price, which makes me believe that $25 is likely to come again once bullish pocketbooks go dry.

But the future is a mystery. Maybe I'm wrong!

Yeah, I didn't need to put much thought into the other options as I knew that this poll would result in 100% Tacos.

I think this is a poll on how well people parse double-negatives.

I voted (No) 90% sure because I think we will see $25 again.

I don't know if that's how other people are reading this double-negative poll.

Adam, are you Canadian from Quebec by any chance? Many years ago Quebeckers had a poll on sovereignty that was similarly worded  ;D

That's wishful thinking. Too many people going to take their profits and then wait for a better entry point.

That may be wishful thinking too. Look at the last time the price ran up (Summer 2012), the price went up and leveled off, it never came down, so people who sold then when the price stopped rising are still waiting to get back in.

Don't forget $25 is only a $4 drop from current prices. But then again you could be right. Bit coin is the definition of unpredictable.

Said another way, $25 is only a 13% drop from current prices. The price of bitcoin has moved more than that in a single day before.
