Well, if we don't start going up today, we'll go up tomorrow, and if not tomorrow, the day after..... I've decided to take the "it's all cool" approach 

The chikun broke up, let's see how much this influences bitcoin.

Wow, I damn sure hope we're en route to getting into wave 3, that'd be a hell of a sight & very profitable for many of us.

That ask side is looking pretty big and growing. What does that indicate?

Youve just been given the perfect opportunity to buy the dip. I havent seen any news to suggest anythibg has  happened in pacticular , maybe a whale cashed out but i wouldnt be too worried, imo it will retrace back up towards where it was and beyond.

Hodl.

really? seems fine to me. the rise was a little silly and unrealistic. anyone shocked by this hasn't been paying enough attention the last few years. let's see what the rest of this month brings before getting gloomy.

My bitcoins are only worth more than what they were worth less than a month ago ;(

Ahm in it ta win it like the muthafukkin Marlboro Man.  So da price need ta git its pimply ass thru the ROOF.  Right naw it only onna third flo' of what I will figuratively describe as 1 World Trade Center.  So if y'all folly that, we still gots along ass ways ta go.  I'm down fo' the suckcess of bitcoin, but I wants to enlarge my metaphorical wallet too.  Mmm hmm.

This is a good question, one that I have been thinking about.

Vinny Lingham predicts a slow and steady rise to 2k-3k during 2017. His judgement seems as good as anyone's to me. But I agree there's no way in hell we're gonna go slow and steady to 100k, or even 10k. And yes I'm thinking in log axis. Suppose price multiplies by 2.5 x per year. Five years of that would get us to 100k. But can you imagine that actually happening? Once that pattern establishes itself, someone who thinks in terms of years is gonna try to frontrun it and will be willing to buy at a premium, short term traders will see that happening, the price will go parabolic, everyone will know it's day traders responsible for the short term parabolic rise and will try to front-run them cashing out, big crash, and there you have it. So if it's truly going to the moon, I think it's safe to assume that it will be a volatile ride all the way to the top.

Hmm, that gives me an idea on how to model the magnitude of the swings. If you knew how many speculators there are (in terms of how much capital they are working with) and what time frames they are working in (long term investors or "long-termers," minute to minute day traders of "short-termers," and everything in between), and the first people to go long are the long-termers and the last to go long are the short term day traders, with the in between being the in between, then the parabolic rise ends when the progression from long termers to short termers runs out.

Think percentages, not dollars.
