Title: Reasons of Price Drop Post by: newIndia on June 09, 2014, 04:22:53 PM I've been fed up of seeing reasons that may cause price drop. So I'm trying to list them out. Please add your reason...
1. China banned Bitcoin (worked for 3-4 time) 2. Ghash.io is nearing 51% (worked twice) 3. Mt. Gox fall is fall of Bitcoin (upcoming ones => Bitstamp is insolvent & BTC-e is run by anonymous people) I'll try to update the list occasionally... Latest Update: Point 3 added :) Title: Re: Reasons of Price Drop Post by: blatchcorn on June 09, 2014, 04:28:41 PM I've been fed up of seeing reasons that may cause price drop.

Not sure that will cheer you up Title: Re: Reasons of Price Drop Post by: celestio on June 09, 2014, 04:29:26 PM MtGox bankruptcy is definitely one of the major reasons for the recent price drop.

Quote The news prompted Ghash.io to issue a statement on the matter at the time, in which the pool said: “GHash.IO will take all necessary precautions to prevent reaching 51% of all hashing power, in order to maintain stability of the bitcoin network.” They added that, “[their] plans are to expand the bitcoin community as well as utilise the hashing power to develop a greater bitcoin economic structure.” “If something happened to Bitcoin as a whole it could risk our investments in physical hardware, damage to those who love Bitcoin and we see no benefit from having [a] 51% stake in mining.” Title: Re: Reasons of Price Drop Post by: bryant.coleman on June 09, 2014, 05:38:44 PM I don't know why people get so nervous with GHash.io. They have made it clear multiple times that they will never ever use the 51% attack. In case they execute such an attack, it will affect them more than anyone else.

And i should totally trust to some mysterious entity on the internet.

That being said, there is always the risk that control of ghash.io could be compromised, so it definitely is better that they stay below 51%. Miners will make sure of that though and just switch when they near 51%. |
