Confession: I've been out of the game with all my money on gox for a while. It has all been sold at $140 and upwards.
Unfortunately, I think my speculation on the nature of the bubble burst was off. This was a major upswing, and I realize the differences now.
Minor upswings ($15.38 in Aug'12) are characterized by (1) not too much press and (2) slower userbase growth. The nice thing about that is that when the faucet of new funds is turned off, a complete crash does not happen. It crashed from 15.38 to 7.58 before bouncing, and gradually went up to 13 again. Overall, pretty stable boom-bust-recovery.
Major upswings are rapid phases of adoption. Unfortunately, when the fountain of new funds is gone, these seem to burst painfully.
However, the upswing this time was accompanied by great development of fundamentals (userbase growth, service growth, awareness, interest from VCs + SV + the "mainstream"). In two years, I'm sure the bulls will be winning. There hasn't actually been too much catastrophically bad news for the Bitcoin economy, in comparison to '11, and this is simply a case of deflated expectations (including my own). The crash may be painful but this is certainly not going to be the death of Bitcoin, so I think it is very reasonable to wait for the bottom, buy in, and then watch it go to new ATHs
We might have to be a bit patient though.
