Title: Bitcoin to drop below $300 again?
Post by: willy_00 on August 02, 2016, 11:19:20 PM
Today I checked the price and it was 511usd per coin. What's happening to bitcoin?

Do you think bitcoin will drop below 300 again?

Nope. It's just too low to happen. Especially now block rewards are only worth 12.5 BTC. If it's not by legit demand, then I am sure Chinese exchanges will offer a helping hand to manipulate the price to healthier levels again. Beside that, it would be very sad to see the price fall even below $400 again. Something that took us years to build up gets smashed down so fast.

So what's the reason why the price has gone down so much? Over 10% in a flash is just a big dip. Has the price been spooked by the Ghost month? We know that the Chinese usually pulls out their investments during August to avoid bad luck. Too bad I haven't the funds to buy right now.

Maybe if Bitfinex is insolvent and people don't get their bitcoins back and other exchanges follow, we may see sub 300 for a short while, but won't last long

Not sure if it will drop below $300 but I think it go as low as $400. It all depends on the Chinese to see what they will do when they start to wake up.

All our expectation has gone to air,just when we all thought bitcoin will rise to $1000 this things happen,my only prayer is that it will not drop further to $300 again,the community should resolve the issue,there's an ongoing talks but neither wants to compromise..
