According to NASDAQ
The next SEC filing date of WINKLEVOSS BITCOIN TRUST IPO is 10/8/2014
Is it going to be huge?

Based on the filing last year on 10/8/2013?  Because they filed on 7/1/2013 and 7/1/2014?

There are unlimited supply of fiat. ... so there is not a choice ... (I will hold bitcoin)

Unlimited does not imply infinite. And there is are unlimited possible alternatives to Bitcoin.

And there are many possible alternatives to gold as well.  Will gold go to $20 / ounce?

The interesting concept here is the insurance. I don't like their list of disallowed transaction types, some of which are completely legal items. But I don't see how that can be enforced when it's so easy to first pay to some new address, then to the intended recipient. That sounds more like a way to indemnify themselves if someone ever has legal issues.

To recreate the bug, you may have to have BFX open in one tab, then open the order book in a new tab.

You are right, I see another username and his balance flash in the top right panel for a second.

There are a couple of options for the all-time count. One that we have finished a full five wave cycle in which case the next rise would be building on the [ I ] of [[III]]. The other (and imo, more likely) scenario is that 1163 was the top of (III) of [III] and we are about to complete [III] with the next big rally to new ATH's.

This is the more likely count in my opinion

ehmmm sorry I couldn't resist  Grin

serious question now: some weeks ago I stumbled upon a BTC long-term wave count from http://www.elliottwave.com/ in which they labelled the december high as a [V], predicting a massive retracement to early 2013 levels. By the way, during the July-August 2013 rise the same guys were swearing that it was a B correction, and soon bitcoin would have fallen in a terrible C wave... we all know how it ended!!
so question is: could the whole Gox affair, and in particular the infamous willy bot (which seems to have started its operation around that time), have played some major role in heavily distorting market dynamics ? Have you (Ryan or any other EW master) been surprised back then by the price evolution e.g. by some evident EW rule (or at least guideline) violation which in hindsight could have been attributed to this massive market manipulation??

No rules were broken, bent or otherwise. The chart still counts out in a valid count since the April 2013 high. As I said in my quoted text, the $1163 BS high can be either a completed cycle (as stated by EWI) or the 3 of [III] where [ I ] was the $32 high.

Indeed I was caught off guard initially. I thought we would get a standard ABC due to the huge rise we saw, and have a C that ended above $32, but below $50. Price ended up drawing out a perfect triangle on Bitstamp, and only a weak wave-E on Gox, then we were off.
I don't know that it was manipulation, per-se, in that correction, but it definitely set in stone in some peoples hearts that Bitcoin could not go down, and especially go into the price territory of the previous high.This thinking will eventually be futile. If not during this bear market then possibly the next, but it WILL happen.


We are currently in (C).  It looks close to ending, perhaps near 30x.  We should then resume our bull market with (I), right?  Where are we in terms of SuperCycles?

Thanks

Interesting. This chart would imply a [I] that is very much larger than the [III], no? The earliest price I see for the start of [I] would be 0.04951. From that to 31.91 is massively larger than the labeled [III], which is supposed to be the largest. How do we deal with this discrepancy?


EW is price based, so the rise in 2011, while astronomical on a percentage basis, is not nearly as big on a Dollar basis. Also, 3 cannot be the shortest wave, but it does not have to be the largest wave either. In most bubbles during Bitcoins' short history, the 5th wave is by far the largest wave however, for intraday waves it is not the same story.

I don't think you can truly stick with a linear interpretation of price for something with exponential growth, like Bitcoin.  That would imply close to $30 of price increase for wave [V], which is completely wrong.



$30 is definitely not even a little bit likely, but it's not necessarily "wrong". Following an asset like stocks, where the 5th wave == the 1st wave by price, that is exactly what it means. But many have said it, and it's true... Bitcoin doesn't trade like a stock!
Bitcoin doesn't trade like a stock in that, it trades more like a commodity, like gold. The 5th wave is usually the biggest, but still with less power than the 3. Also, remember that there is no rule about 5th waves... The 3rd wave is already the biggest (Or at least not the smallest) so the 5th can go up a long way. Almost indefinitely, but there still must be a top, somewhere.

Any chance you want to do an analysis using log(price) instead of price?

Do you have a chart showing just I, II, III, IV, and V?
292  Economy / Speculation / Re: Ryans' log on: September 26, 2014, 10:41:11 PM
Today we have divergence in the hourly chart. This completes the 1 of (5) of III. Fibo says we see a pullback around the $430 range (61.8% retrace of wave-(1) ) I had to reuse some higher degree labels for this chart. These are only representative of the count, so I will switch back and forth but the true count remains the same. We are in a "2 of some degree" is all that's important right now.


Happy trading! Smiley

Later I will explain that second sentence Wink

How high do you expect IV to take us once (5) is complete?

Wow...dude, you are so humble posting in this thread...I had no idea you were a semi-whale!

Does the market follow EW?  Or does the market follow his whale money, which follows his EW charts?  TA can be a self fulfilling prophecy based on how much money follows any particular TA.

Getting real close to that wall.. if it goes...

Well.. you know what happens next.

Yes.  Loaded gets some cheap coins for his customers.


Yeah, because Rich Man A knows so much more than all the other rich men who have dumped down to this level, right?

Dump time is over once the bottom is in.  That doesn't make the dumpers prior to bottom wrong.

I'd just like to remind everyone here that EW is based entirely on technical analysis.  This works great in the absence of any strong fundamental change that disrupts the technical progression of price.  I will leave it as an exercise to the reader to determine if/when we hit such a disruption.

The latest announcement from Paypal says they will support both customers and merchants with Bitcoin wallets.  That means Buying with Bitcoin through Paypal doesn't necessarily mean selling of Bitcoins for USD.
