I saw some guys here talking earlier about gene editing and the like, I am also in favour of all of the technology and next waves of medical technology that are coming, dammit keep me alive, replace my body, load me into the cloud I am ready and willing
The problem with self-preservation is that we may end up losing the self in the process. It may be an obvious decision we must make or it may be insidious.

I too am looking at a 100-200k price range for the next bubble. I am taking a scenario into account where it will take more years to get there due to the potential for a nasty recession in the coming years though. I am not putting all my chips on that scenario though, I have been prone to doomsday-thinking and getting the macro trends completely wrong in the past.
Pretty much spot on my estimate for the next bull run (assuming we don't do anything crazy like go triple digits). What happens beyond that I am much less sure about. Perhaps much more mundane growth or perhaps hell.

What does everybody think will happen to BCH & BCHSV?
Assuming (as we all think) ‘our’ original bitcoin remains the number one, what will happen to the above mentioned shit coin’s in the mid to long term?
die a slow death. That's no way to talk to a fellow legendary

I'm wondering where the weeeee thing is from exactly? is it actually a thing that people say sometimes? because I also saw it in a Japanese anime called Rosario + Vampire, in that show there was a bat that would always go weeeeeeeeeee a few times every episode. I thought it strange at the time.
Perhaps weeee is Birdperson language for "I am dying inside".

Personally I'm all in favor of of it.
As long as we get gene upgrades. I'm not having some baby in diapers outmanoeuvring me.

I did once during the BTC/BCH split. I was shorting ETH and away for a week and all the loans left Polo so instead of closing my positions like they should have they changed my rate to 100X what it was and that liquidated me.
The fuckers.
I wonder if Circle knew just how much resentment Polo created among its users in 2017? They were minting a million a day and yet the place was run like a one-man operation out of Tristan's garage.

I think the hardest part about trading is forcing yourself to sit on your hands.
Absolutely. Knowing how not to trade is a skill.

Tzupy looks like he'll walk away with the trophy. Relief rally is due and there's unlikely to be time in 2018 for further lows.

I've caught the dagger at $4 falling from $32. Then I've caught the dagger at $50 falling from $260. Then I've caught the dagger at $190 falling from $1100. Now I've caught the dagger at $3500 falling from $19000!
Glorious, and I love that you still come here to comment. Edit: After your comment I decided to buy a little bit. You may want to consider that becoin's advice has been to buy the dip on every one cent drop. Ok, fourth leg down since 6.4K... this is beyond ridiculous....
And what worries me the most is that I am not hearing panic screams, nor cryings, nor anything. Are we fucking still in denial phase?
No, we're just hard as fuck.

I did it. I'm out. We need more posts like this. Nothing personal Cactus, just bottom watching. The guy has been out more times than a closet homosexual with amnesia. Well I am happily married for 11 years now so I am biased. Nevertheless, a 47% reduction in divorce risk is substantial. I was impressed when I came across that study. Combine that strategy with a prenup and I think the risk is manageable even if you have money if one seeks out character over aesthetics.
Forget that. If I had to attend church, I'd be the one divorcing her. Also, they'd probably tell her I represent the city of Sodom or something.

The next 8 hours should be interesting. I suspect a drop to the lower 3K
There'll be too many bids around 3K and sellers are going to be fatigued now. Time for the quintessential bitcoin relief rally methinks.

Why are people established enough to remember all the nothing posters from 2014-15 bothering to engage them this time around? Insta ignore for all.
Hey, it's part of the ritual. Gotta slag off a couple of trolls. They'll all be deleted anyway when info comes out of his coma.

You are funny. I've already written. when I bought BTC you did not know that it exists
Uh huh, utterly believable from a guy with a newbie 2018 account. "I was here before Satoshi".

I see you fall on the prescriptive side in the prescriptive versus descriptive debate

But keep buying at a regular interval, so you don't regret not being brave during the bear run
Each to their own, but I'm a believer in patience in a bear market. Jumping in too soon is the automatic response. I'll buy in 2019 when that response is exhausted.

Come on whales! Dump like you have a pair! I need to buy some of those $3k BTC everyone is talking about
Looks like you got your wish bud

Relax into it. It will hurt less.
All those prickles as a defence and yet your inside is slippery smooth.

My GPU rigs I built before I heard about Butterfly labs made more profits. I would have probably 10x more BTC if they would have refunded me when I asked, and 100x or 1000x more if they'd shipped when they said they would. Never saw the attraction of mining. Always appeared like a race to the bottom where you were pitting yourself against giants. I guess that it had worked so well for hodlers in the past was the motivation to not outright buy?

Am I the only one that has fears the price of Bitcoin would never even reach the last ATH? I mean, yes, I think it will, heck, I think it could happen as soon as in less than one year from now or, most probably, around the next halving but.... I know there is a non-negligible possibility of that not happening, ever.
What are you guys stance about that? Let's be honest here....
There are still too few who own bitcoin, including institutions, that it seems unlikely we've reached the saturation point. Also, it is nearly always the older generation who are skeptical and the younger who are enthusiastic. Dimon hates bitcoin, but his daughter buys it, for example. It's a trend that should be in our favour for at least another twenty years. The charts are well within the bounds of a normal deflation as well. We'd really have to crash hard to ruin the long-term picture. Man knows his jpegs

Not sure what do you mean by the "same point". In time? Overall 2013-2015 decline was 1160 (bitstamp) to 171 (coinmarketcap data) or 85%.
So far, this cycle it is 19873 to 4035 (lowest), which is about 80% (79.7%). Right now, it is 78.8% (still much lower than 85% in 2013-2015).
Yes, I meant in time - days since the ATH. We're 341 days in now and the low point at ~4035 is around -80%. By comparison, 341 after 30 Nov 2013 the low point was ~275 or around -77%. It may not be significant, but you'd kind of expect the bear market to be slower this time round due to the larger market cap and lower volatility.
