Lot's shorts were squeezed.  That's what they get for being impatient...  And being indecisive when it broke down 250.

This is the speculation forum so lets speculate.

When the next big crash happens like the 2008 crash people will realize how much the current system is broken. They will go to bitcoin. 100 satoshi = 1$ by the year 2018.

Most people = the 1% that knows what Bitcoin is (and the 0.00001% that voted on that geek ass website).

That's what I'm asking about.  These "geeks" are also well informed.  They spend most of their time online doing some reading and research, and yet they think little of Bitcoin like they are informed but not impressed.

i like too see more the full chart, there is something familiar





Capitulation...  Looks like we need to go back to October 2012 levels then?

If it goes to 160-180 range and then bounces back up again, that should signal a double bottom. Right now my buy order are placed just above the previous low and there is a likelihood that bitcoin price will test those levels again. So it's a good and bad scenario depends on how you look at it.

Looks more like a reverse cup and handle to me.

Here's a result of a poll on Slashdot.

I'm far more surprised at what price there actually was support! I don't think there are many trendlines that predicted this kind of behaviour, which makes me think that this really may be a solid bottom of some sort.

Are these levels a really good time to buy?

i would buy some  and i would increase my buying the more we fall, we shouldn't fall too much in theory, we should floating around 150-200 in the worst case if another crash happen, but i'm confident that the previous crash(180) will not be surpassed

Nice strategy. I guess averaging would make perfect sense if it doesn't fall by a lot.

People call this strategy "a good strategy" but also "bag holding" and tell people they have gambling issues. If you actually invest in BTC in the longterm and only invest what you're willing to lose, this strategy does indeed make a lot of sense!

Yup.  Every bitcoiner should be doing this.

lol, very nice OP but to me, the dog kinda looks Photoshopped on the car, is it Photoshopped?

No.  He actually stuck it to someone elses car.   Cheesy
14671  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin Trading: Price Analysis For 4/19 on: April 20, 2015, 09:56:04 PM
Buy now would be the safest move.  You can always average down if the price drops.
14672  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bottom is in at $215 buying like crazy on: April 20, 2015, 09:52:39 PM
Enjoy. Wink



And even buying now is a mistake.. You could always buy more and average down as the price drops.  You win either way.

Good for you.  Encourage all your family and friends to get in as well.
14674  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / The Economics of Bitcoin Mining Centralization on: April 20, 2015, 09:17:41 PM
Quote

Bitcoin mining centralization has been a point of concern in the community for a while now. People are worried that the growing size of mining firms will continue until one of them attains 51% or more of the network’s hashing power. Although a firm holding the majority of the hashing power would not inherently compromise the network, it would certainly centralize the creation of bitcoin and the confirmation of transactions. Such centralization opens the door for a 51% attack, in which a nefarious actor initiates a double spend. This particular attack is highly feared in the Bitcoin community, because a successful double spend would ruin Bitcoin’s reputation for being a trustless monetary system.

They suffer from second child syndrome.

I've been reading a lot about the royal baby about to be born and it made me think. Can this be applied to crypto as well? In particular alt coins? Read the passage below, does this sound familiar? Is this why there is so much FUD and rivalry? Do you agree? This is another reason why I don't believe these coins have any future. Their older siblings stole the limelight.

"... when your second child arrives, the experience is not so new. You've been there, done that. So what if your second child stood up for the first time, you've seen that before. However, it is still a first for him, isn't it? But because you've seen all this you probably fail to recognize this, and many more such achievements throughout, that makes him feel less recognized and unworthy. He may thus also begin to develop resentful feelings for his sibling, which may lead to sibling rivalry."

Lol.  These are projects competing for market share, not little kids where the other one has some issues.
14676  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Factom Will Sell Up To 100% Of Its Bitcoin Reserves on: April 20, 2015, 12:39:23 PM
Based on my own understanding, there are a number of interpretations after reading this news article

1) They are going to do an auction to sell off their coin reserves. If they have it sold to investors who will continue to keep the coins, then it should not be a problem affecting the price. Else if this goes to the open market competing with the coins already put on sale, this will be bearish towards bitcoin price. Is selling the coin reserve *only* option due to severe shortage of funding? There are questions remain to be answered.

2) These Bitcoin 2.0 companies are entrusted and is supposedly tasked to build and develop new technology on top of the existing bitcoin network. So does selling off the coins reserve go against this principle? Where is the integrity of these so-called bitcoin 2.0 companies after what we have seen happened with Ethereum?



It doesn't matter how they're doing it: Coins being sold always means that someone paid money for those coins - money that maybe would have entered the open market in some sort. It always leads to a decrease in buying pressure!

Huh?  But the market cap is going down.  That means money is going out, not in.

Their future markets seem to behave a bit funky these days, aren't they? I wouldn't be surprised if at least one Chinese exchange pulled a Gox, or at least a Stamp at some point this year or maybe next year.

I don't know about other chinese exchanges, but OKCoin seems extremely stable. I'm pretty sure that BTC-e will be gone in 2016 tho

?  Like Mt.Gox kind of gone?

there's OKcoin but not too sure how they work

Their future markets seem to behave a bit funky these days, aren't they? I wouldn't be surprised if at least one Chinese exchange pulled a Gox, or at least a Stamp at some point this year or maybe next year.

Wouldn't that be bad for Bitcoin's price and another stain on the way it's percieved by the mainstream?

Yeah, that would be terrible, sure. But it wouldn't surprise me much. This is still very much 'amateur hour' like many people like to call it. We need more insured and regulated exchanges!

No wonder people are shorting...
