1041  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will there be a rally in September? on: August 27, 2014, 04:29:57 PM
I'm quite surprised at all of the psychics around here. Let me exercise my mysticism while we're at it.

A "mega-spike" in the coming month is incredibly unlikely. These mega-spikes are typically preceded by a relatively calm base followed by a slow ramp up followed by an increasingly exponential ramp. I doubt the price action can just go from "are we in an uptrend or downtrend?" to "OMG I better panic buy at any rate possible!!!" But you never know. Some crazy awesome news might start the rally any time.

On the other hand, a full year of $300 - $600 is rather unlikely as well. There is too much adoption happening. There is too much awareness being spread. It is likely that the COIN ETF will launch opening up access in an entirely new and huge way. There is the GABI fund estimated to start trading on 9/1. Just wait until offshore money starts to realize the potential. I have a feeling that's one of GABI's primary targets, and that's estimated to be a 22 - 31 trillion dollar market.

But you know, my crystal ball may provide different results than yours.
Good comment.  Would you say you are expecting a steady return to $600 - $1000 by the end of this year?

Despite being reasonably bullish, I would not be surprised if Bitcoin remains stable for the rest of the year (or until the ETF goes live). I am interested to hear the thoughts of others.

By rally, I mean a mega spike.
1044  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Gambling Game - Will you help me beta test please? on: August 27, 2014, 02:03:40 PM
I would be interested to test it out.  I could also give you some pointers regarding marketing

Probably they will close the account.  UK banks are pathetic like that
1046  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How do you multiply with 1BTC capital? on: August 27, 2014, 01:57:08 PM
You will be very happy with just 1 BTC in 10 years time.  However, if you must obtain more simply buy more with money you make outside of Bitcoin
1047  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Are you interested in Bitcoin because of the concept or to get rich? on: August 27, 2014, 01:55:02 PM
Wow.  No one is here just to get rich  Cheesy
1048  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Please How to earn Bitcoins in Good Amount. on: August 27, 2014, 01:54:15 PM
Invest X% of your paycheck into Bitcoin each month.

Or failing that, offer some services for Bitcoin.  However, unless you have valuable skills that are relevant in an online context, the first method is best.

It is up to Unicode to incorporate Bitcoin, not for Bitcoin to choose from a pre-existing character.  Simples

How can a steady rise in price be considered a dead cat bounce?  Huh
1051  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin is not a get rich quick scheme on: August 26, 2014, 07:31:35 AM
This is spot on OP, all these johnny-come-lately "investors" start squealing like stuck pigs whenever prices take a dip.
Most have probably never invested in the securities market because seasoned investors do not have expectations of
a "commodity" like these amateurs do with elevated returns and decreased time frames. These newbies are going to
get burned trying to play the bitcoin game. With bitcoin, your "profit" time horizon has to be in months and years, not
hours and days...unless you are day-trading.

If you're a bystander hoping to get rich quick in a short period of time get ready for a good beating. There are those
who are playing vicious mind games in the forum hoping for destabilization. I'm not going to name names but keep your
wits about you.

1052  Economy / Speculation / Re: Official Bitcoin Price Prediction for Dec 31, 2014 on: August 25, 2014, 08:58:46 PM
2014 = SHIT year for bitcoin, sorry but I've said it over and over again and it's true

The good news? There will be better years... lol at people who keep saying 2014 is "the year of bitcoin" haha

2014 has been a good year for bitcoin. Maybe not for the price but let's look back for a moment.

- Survived 400+ China Bans
- Survived MtGOX exchange disaster
- Survived SilkRoad hack and auction
- ATMs launched
- Big retailer adoption
- etc.

Bitcoin has shown that it is not a Tulip Craze.

We will probably get better years but we now know Bitcoin is a sound investment with moderate risk (not high as previously).
Lol most of them were announced by fallling before China did  Grin

bitcoin is an enrich the world quick scheme
Love it.  Well said.
1054  Economy / Speculation / Re: The "What should Chartbuddy do" poll on: August 25, 2014, 04:12:31 PM
Who else read "What would chart buddy do?"  Cheesy
1055  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin is not a get rich quick scheme on: August 25, 2014, 02:22:06 PM
Also many young bitcoiners are tweaked up on buzz drinks and computer games. (shakes fist "giiit of my lawn")

They are only satisfied when the chart is in expo mode, if it's bumbling along sideways they feel like a junkie without a needle.

I am confident we will see a continued noisy rise, and it will retouch or cross the expo line again.

EDIT: quoting OP because he nails it...

I made this because a lot of people need a wake-up call and realize that a bad year for Bitcoin is not that bad in the grand schemes of things
1056  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin is not a get rich quick scheme on: August 25, 2014, 12:05:20 PM
It's a "get rich quick but not that quick" scheme.

 Cheesy

Only to same extent that stocks etc. can make people rich 'quick'
1057  Economy / Speculation / Bitcoin is not a get rich quick scheme on: August 25, 2014, 11:04:09 AM
All investments, even the most lucrative, go through years and sometimes decades of under-performance.

Observe the following:


Apple has gone through much more corrections that Bitcoin ever has.  But shrewd investors saw a fundamentally strong company, held, and got rich.



People looking for a 'safe' investment in Gold must be shitting themselves right now



ARM is supposed to go to the moon, like Bitcoin.  But where is the rally? Are people loosing interest? Is ARM failing?  Sounds familiar...



That is one hell of a 'capitulation'.  But there are in fact loads of these deep, deep corrections  - some of which cut deeper than the preceding rally.  IBM has had dozens of Bitcoin's 2011 corrections. But that has had ZERO influence on the longer term trend and fundamentals of the company.




Now look at this beauty.  Look at how easy we have had it.  We can barely call 2014 a 'capitulation', or even a 'correction' compared to the SAFER investments above.  For Bitcoin to truly go through a set-back, the price would need to fall to $100.  And even then, it will have zero impact on the price in 2018.

If you do not have patience, go waste your money in Vegas.  If you do not have vision, go waste your money on booze.  If you have common sense, invest a small percentage of your money in Bitcoin and hodl for at least 10 years.

Gee thanks!  I just panic sold all of my coins I bought at $1,000

Glad I was able to 'cut loose' during this 'dead cat bounce'  Roll Eyes
1059  Economy / Economics / Re: Facebook accepts Bitcoin? on: August 25, 2014, 10:28:13 AM
Bitcoin is more considered as an asset rather than a currency,so there are low chances Facebook would be accepting bitcoin as an payment option
1) That hasn't stopped other companies
2) It is not more an asset than a currency anyway
1060  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Ideas for promoting bitcoin to mass public on: August 25, 2014, 10:21:46 AM
Bitcoin does not need more 'awareness' gimmicks. Bitcoin needs easier and clearer ways for newbies to get started
