This is proven with a mathematical linear regression, which is used by market experts to forecast future values. This regression clearly shows a trend towards 1000+, and could possibly even hit over 9000!

Buy everything!

Facts are meaningless. You could use facts to prove anything that's even remotely true.

I agree, it is now BEST time to buy. BUY BUY BUY.

Glad to see someone has a sense of humor.

... or to paraphrase: "...feels like snail a** ride" lol

Nice graphics Blitzboom!  ;D

^^

Bump

I loled.  ;D

Technically its possible since there's only a certain amount that will ever be made.

yeah, technically it's possible. Theoretically as well. But practically bitcoin is a speculation object that will only last until the majority of people realises that you can buuy about as much with a bitcoin as you can with a river pebble. Maybe even less.

You speculate every day you carry dollars, too.

You're holding on to them in good faith that the government won't screw up horribly and devalue them somehow. And unfortunately, that is the case. It is just a matter of 'when' the massive debts the U.S. is carrying crash upon our heads. There is no such thing as perfectly 'safe', but you better bet I'd rather hold bitcoins in the long run than fancy green toilet paper.

truth

@finnthecelt

Haha, nice. Weimar cash pictures, the first is a lady burning them for heat. The second shot I suppose is a man out to buy a loaf of bread. Or to stop up a leak in a basement wall. :)

lol
+1!

LOL

I think we got ourselves a bitcoin meme!

I remember in the 90's getting $1.35 or more canadian per US dollar now they are on par. 

And i remember in 2008 getting $2.50 or more Brazilian real per US dollar now they are $1.55.

I think the world is realizing our big friend on north will not repay his debts.

Sad is all the world's currency will devaluate when us dollar starts to be worthless, imagine what will happen with bitcoin when people realize they can use a p2p currency that is safer than Fed's toilet paper.

no, no, that Ben Berspankme's grandfather.

LOL! a snail  ;D

How can you call that a trend-line when it is clearly broken?

The economic theory of linear regression always holds true, and the data never lies.

You don't need to know much about reading charts to see that trend line is clearly broken.

And trends become instantly meaningless once they are broken

OH JESUS!? BitcoinSnail Is predicting a market end at 17$/BTC in late April 2011, and that at some point the market will begin spiralling through time

I for one welcome our new snail overlord.

See, this proves bitcoins are worthless.

We can't even burn them to keep warm.

I am not sure if you are being sarcastic there, Oldminer:

1) Time-frame is important. Of course, you can have a long-term uptrend and a short-term bear at the same time.
2) The OP"s trend-line is not just broken, it is shattered beyond repair. (Short-term)
3a) The market did rally up to over $18 when a "bear flag" had an unexpected breakout to the upside, yesterday eve.
3b) When a "clear signal" turns out to be false, sometimes that can trigger a huge move.

Don't expect $1,000 any time soon. The new game in town is called trading range.

You are a great man, Blitzboom.

Can I mine your river? http://www.google.com/search?um=1&hl=en&q=river%20pebbles&biw=1280&bih=685&ie=UTF-8&tbo=u&tbm=shop&source=og&sa=N&tab=if

ahahahah ^^

A proper reading of Trendy the BitSnail indicates that he's holding prices at around $17 (as marked by the centre of his deflationary-spiral shell)
but if you follow a line from his eye stalks just above his shell - he has a slightly longer view of about $34.

Who wouldn't take market advice from a bullish snail!?

I see stability at the eyeball/antennas...  25 ftw

Let's assume currencies lose half their buying power in a 10 years period, and that there is a world money supply of 4 trillion USD at the moment.
We know the max. number of BTCs possible is 21 million.
Then the maximum value a BTC could obtain is BTC 1 = (USD 16 trillion 20 years from now)/(BTC 21 million 20 years from now) = USD 750,000.
In current USD value, that would then be about BTC 1 = USD 250,000 as a rough and rounded estimate.

That is the upper limit on the BTC value, assumed that all financial transactions will be carried out through BTC at that time.

That's an interesting way to look at it but is not BTC already worth $16 USD? Now what if we also added the world's debt? Oh boy.....

I think in 20 years we will have multiple forms of money floating around as governments start to disintegrate. We cannot forget about the oil situation as well. Production is falling and demand is rising. This will complicate the ability of the world to pay debt. All that debt will collapse into things of value. And no the oil shales and alternative fuels will not take the place of oil.

...so escargot to your broker and BUY BUY BUY!

TRENDY DEMANDS VOLUME.
