No way, you need to at least dump to $150 to trigger stop losses and at least dump to $100 to trigger another panic sale. With short swap at historical high already, I doubt bears can achieve any selloff from now on.

Besides, only retail investors were panic in the recent crash. All addresses holding more than 100K coins didn't sell at all recently. That is a vote of confidence from largest stakeholders.

No, it is manipulation of exchanges. Some exchanges just want to "get rich quick".

When the majority of retail investors go long, exchanges with insider information will go short and trigger margin calls.

When the majority of retail investors go short, exchanges with insider information will go long and trigger short squeeze.

I guarantee you they are doing this and they are the real whales.

You answered a million dollar question for us. Hope your statistic is not biased.

To shake out people who bought between $160-$200, bears at least need to dump to $150 to trigger stop losses and further dump to below $100 to trigger some additional panic sale.

But, does the benefits of dumping overweights the costs of dumping at this point?

And how much bitcoins can bears borrow now to dump?

And don't forget the whale, it would definitely squeeze the shorts, if such move brings more profit. Unless the whale is ideological against bitcoin without any consideration of profit.

Existing bulls and bears are just well matched in strength at the moment. Bulls don't dare to add too much long in the fear of another 30K sell order. Bears don't dare to open new shorts due to the historical high swap ratio (i.e. potential short squeeze).

Now the balance can only be broken by the third force, the new money.

if all those crash related, MK related or miami meeting related news casted by CNBC, Bloomberg, WSJ, FT and the Economist could draw mainstream eyeballs and new money in, then bulls win.

If those news fails to attract new money, then bears win.

I personally believe new money will come in, judging by the increasing searches of "bitcoin" on google and the news that some high-net-worth people are interested in bitcoins (coindesk article 2 days ago).

Inertia thinking always leads one to believe that history will repeat itself. But the history of bitcoin contains more surprises than repetition.

Suggesting a bottom at $800, 700, 600, 500, 400, 300 is an evil.

But when a bottom is formed in $16x and the level of $200 holds after two bear attacks, it is REASONABLE to call a bottom and suggest a buy.

In comparison, suggesting people to short at $800, 700, 600, 500, 400, 300 is wise.

But suggesting people to short from $160-200 to $0 is evil, greedy and scamming.

Making your font BOLD or in RED won't change the fact.

Did you see how spring works in elementary school? Yes, spring compresses and then resilience makes it JUMP. So is the price.

And don't forget, you pay interests to short. Either the price crashes again in short term, or you will continue to pay for it. While, bulls can be much more patient than you, because they pay nothing to keep the coins. Just one spike, they will catch you.

To shake out new buyers who just bought around 160-200, you need to at least push the price to $150 for stop losses and to sub-$100 for another panic sale. Ask yourself, can you achieve that? And how many coins can you borrow to achieve that?

Anyway, good lucks to you, bold font guy.

A good conspiracy theory. The evil wall street always accumulates during panic sale.

We see this in 2008 lehman crisis, in 2011 euro debt crisis, etc.

And they won't tell you until they have done the shopping.

Massive wealth creation of the wall street always follows massive wealth destruction of the others.

Not necessarily. The transaction fee from credit company is not a small cut for those two. Considering their thin profit sharing % from the drivers, it would be ideal for them to avoid the credit card fee.

I see some cost saving economies from this potential rumor.

Lyft or Uber would announce Bitcoin support?

Making sense to me, coz these two are competing fiercely. Using bitcoin to do a free marketing is definitely a no-brainer for any one of them.

You cannot believe how much people panic sold in the crash. I guess almost all weak hands who bought in 2014 were already shaken out. They must regret to death sooner or later. But that is the sympathetic reality of trading.

I am pretty sure it will go all the way up.

Just have some faith.

Bears did three major attacks after the grand crash to $166 (bitfinex).

First tanks the price to $172, second tanks it to $197 and the recent one tanks it to $198.

Strength of the bear attacks are getting weaker and volume of bear attacks is shrinking. In addition, we see higher lows.

We may have to say bye bye to sub-$200 coins. Congrats to those sub-$200 purchases.

What your trollers do are nothing more than pouring dirty water onto a talented old man at ill.

Everyone knows that. I already said "Satoshi used to have a geek group who helped him debug and improve the algorithm."

His errors are acceptable for an old man like his age.

But his level of talent is still way beyond the level of MK.

Satoshi earned the 1 mio BTC by his talent and hardworking. He deserves it!

MK earned the 1 mio BTC by scamming, cheating and stealing. He doesn't deserve it!

Don't equalize two different person just by their net worth. The ways of earning their money are more important.

Don't change the core of the debate. We are debating if MK = Satoshi.

They are NOT the same person. Period.

Satoshi used to have a geek group who helped him debug and improve the algorithm. Many people personally knew him. So the speculation that "MK=Satoshi" is totally evidence less.

How could you expect an evil thirsty greedy fatty to conduct boring difficult exhausting brain-intensive research into algorithm and coding for years?

Not everyone can suffer the hardship, pain and life of being a researcher/scholar!

MK and Satoshi have totally different personalities.

First, most studies point out: there is a significant negative correlation between obesity and IQ.

Second, the fatty MK ruined two businesses within a short period of time.

Therefore, I highly doubt if he has any brain to be Satoshi at all.

Please stop posting useless thread like this. This is a speculation forum, not a weirdo talk forum.

I warned the same thing several days ago, telling them how a debt crisis could occur in Russian, Greece and spill over to the Euro zone. But I only received bashing.

Someone even registered a new account to bash me in red ink.

Another financial crisis is due in 1-2 months.

See the decline of oil price, see the decline of stock index, see the depleting of foreign reserves, see the turmoil in the foreign exchange market, etc...
