Historically, bitcoin's price goes down during Christmas celebratory season or after.
Historically? You mean last year? That's a pretty small sample size.
When I read that I just had to check it out, because that's not how I remembered it.
When I looked at the Dec15-Jan15 historical charts I saw that the prices actually rose around Christmas in 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2013.
Only in early January 2015 did the price fall, and that occurred when Bitstamp was hacked.
Sounds like a lame attempt to try to get people to sell because you missed the chance to buy below $400. You had almost a year to stock up on coins for less than $300 and a couple of opportunities to accumulate at less than $200. Proven fool.
