Of course, it could happen.  This is bitcoin, after all.  I think it's unlikely.

It think in the short term is't going pop out of that range both ways.  Still though, I've been very surprised by the response post crash.  I was expecting much, much worse; but to the contrary, the crash seems to have shaken the existing market infrastructure enough that its managers are beginning to significantly improve it.  But what's even better is that it seems to have attracted the attention of people who might be able to bring a new level of expertise to the bitcoin market, and the hope is that that will make it, at least, more resistant to attack and more capable of handling higher demand.  I don't expect the volatility problem to be anywhere near solved for years, probably decades, but it can be managed better, and I think it will be in the near future.

I think the price probably will pop back over $100 in the next week or so, even if it's only temporary in the short term.  Longer term, yes, I think we're headed more solidly back over $100.

Like I said yesterday, this are looking pretty hopeful, actually.  Again, the price is going to wiggle and wobble (pretty significantly compared to most other markets) on its way back up, but I do think the bottom was put in place.

My suggestion is to start out with a weekly show, and as your efficiency and man-power increase, increase the frequency.

Oh, I just began reading a lot about how much attention the infrastructure is getting, and it looks like people concerned with those things realize better now how robust and scalable their designs need to be, and it looks like developers are interested in building the right sort of systems.  MtGox, in particular, seems to be doing much better now, even as we're seeing record trade volumes.  As far as trading goes, the activity down to and around $50 looked bottom-ish enough that I think it probably is.  It will be a struggle moving beyond last week, but it looks like the development community is serious about it.

Again, it'll be bumpy, but $50 is very likely the bottom.  This bubble attracted the attention of people who can help build more resilient and professional markets and apps on top of the protocol.  It'll be a few months before we useful products out of this, but it's coming.

One of the more sensible TAs on bitcoin I've seen in the past few years.

I'm not going to disclose what I may or may not have done recently.  In any event, I've been a member of the snipers club since 2011.

$50 was probably the bottom.  I don't reveal my positions anymore.

Hi guys.

I think I was wrong about this.

I think I overlooked something and made a mistake.

The bitcoin protocol has proven itself pretty well over the years.  The infrastructure built around it has not.  The events of the past few days appear to have attracted the attention of professionals in trading infrastructure.  It'll take some time for it to get built out and prove itself, but the prospects are looking hopeful that it will get built, and with the support of robust infrastructure the fundamentals of bitcoin will be able to fully express themselves.  That's what I think.

Looking at the broader view, there's really a tremendous amount of support building up around $10 that can protect against single digits.  That's probably a lot of the institutional money placing itself visibly on the sideline in order to watch this play out a little while longer.  As MtGox builds confidence around improving their backend, that money will feel more confident about getting back in the pool.   It'll probably take some time, but I think there's a good chance this gets repaired.

+1, I think we could see a pass through $80 this week, with a lot of volatility up and down afterward, and then in the coming weeks some stability (as much as you can get in bitcoin anyway) around $100.
