There isn't anything or anyone that can move bit coin. It's too crippled.  Doesn't offer anyone anything except wild speculation over nothing.

After recent talks with big investors and recent market movements I think it's safe to say we are looking at an incoming new big crash with lower lows.
Investors have given up hope on bit coin because one of its main promises was broken. Remember how bit coin would be resistent to somebody changing the rules?  Recent XT drama has shown us but coin cannot live up to that. Investors are cashing out and moving to superior crypto.
Market is feeling enormous selling pressure and is at a panic point.
Brace yourself for a steep downhill ride!

Everybody ready for the crash tomorrow? The network congestion will cause serious panic I'm sure. I wonder how the miners are going to deal with all unconfirmed TX.... discard them? Queue them? Switch to bitcoin-xt?

Dead cat, as always, nothing has changed and the market seems more bearish than it ever has been.

Don't be fooled by the quiet and slowly rising price. The next dump will bring it all the way down to at least $180.
There simply is no demand.
Put your buy orders around 150-160.

It's a matter of minutes now before we drop under 200 and insane panic will hit the market... These will be interesting and bloody hours upcoming!

Sad how ignorance and misrepresentation once again in the history of humanity ruins something that could be so nice.

Right now 99.9% of the bit coiners are at a Net. loss.
Only the very few early adopters that never sold and hold tens of thousands of coins are still off with good profits.
They will probably accumulate more at these dramatic prices,  causing even more wealth in the hands of the 0.1%

It's  starting to get really painful for many of us I guess at this point. I think 220 will be a critical point. If we can't hold it we will drop very low I'm afraid.

What's equally startling if not more... two rogue programmers can mess up the whole thing...
Wasn't bit coin supposed to be resistant to this? XD
I guess it just isn't what we all thought and hoped for.

That's just wishful thinking. We are still sliding down the 'classic' 3-5% per day :/

I doubt this is the time to accumulate. After last week's quick rebound I had good faith the market was strong.
I was wrong again it seems.
Until somewhere early next year it seems selling is the only smart thing to do. It will probably go down to around 160 before the whole fork drama starts to fade.

I don't see how there's room for a bubble, it may rise a nice amount yes, but i really can't see a new ATH or bubble...

I never claimed to hate bitcoin. I just think there's a lot to be done, both on bitcoin itself and within the mindset of the people involved or using it in any way.
For a while things were looking pretty grimm to me, i'm still not going to tell you it will be worth $10k though :p But i certainly feel more positive about it reading more on the XT drama, whats ACTUALLY going on instead of all the FUD, and this quick bounce also instilled some confidence.



Not sure, like i said, feeling fairly confident that we have a stronger market than i thought before, for now i'll hodl a bit and maybe spend a bit for fun.

Maybe you should educate yourself a bit more about the whole XT thing...
I thought exactly like you, turns out i was very ignorant of what was actually going on..

It's been a while since i bought coins, i didn't really plan to but my sleeping orders around 175 were all filled
Seeing how quickly we recovered from that smackdown combined with more getting more educated about the whole xt thing, i feel significantly more confident in bitcoin than i have been in a looong time.

Damn, somebody made my day!
Had a bunch of orders just sleeping at 175

What can i say... thanks?!

What makes you think both chains would have the same value?
If they are valued equally, which is the winner??

Can't expect anything else from mainstream media. They live on drama.
Then again if this scares people they obviously don't know what they have invested in in the first place, better to get rid of them if you ask me.

The whole fork thing is overly dramatized. It's a big deal that needs to get resolved for sure. And when not handled properly by the devs it could cause serious drama but I'm confident that the devs care enough are out their creation and it's users to attempt concensus and a smooth transition

Bigger blocks require better hardware and connectivity, pushing the average Joe away from participating, causing more centralization. This is partly negated by rapidly increasing availability of good hardware and connectivity around the world to the average Joe .
