I'm gonna miss you when you disappear, like tarmi did. The bear market is over. You can say anything you want, but your lowly words won't move the market against the cyclical tide it's been going at. We have not seen anything below $200 for the last 6 months except for freak occurrences. Give me your FUD troll prediction for July 2016, I want to be able to assure a good laugh on our way up, leading to the next halving.

Man, I'd be delighted to get some cheap(er) coins at $250! But alas, the price stays consistently above $280.
PS: the FUD trolls are getting less ambitious by the day! That is, if they show up at all. Whatever happened to that guy that said there would be double-digit bitcoin on the way!? Oh, well.

We're going to a huge teacup. We'll look back and say "of course!". We'll see the pre-halving pump/dump form the teacup pattern with the (then, previous) ATH, then launching up above and beyond. I am not concerned about the next year of bitcoin at all. I am completely relaxed and content with where we're going.

$300 dollar bitcoins, incoming, yawn. Wake me up when we're over $330.

Broke as in really broke, or rich-broke, where you're still a millionaire in total net value?

The bears arent nervous, theyre gone. The bear market is over.

Hey! We insomniacs try, but trading 24/7 is really, really hard!

What's the next goal, guys? $340? I feel $340 between now and mid August is a realistic goal. We might (might? what the fuck is wrong with me!?) will be indefinitely going over $300 soon enough.

Nah. The halving is too far away to drive the price over $2k before this year's end. I think that's the absolute roof for this year. I'm confident to say that we will not see $2000 dollar bitcoin (except for some fringe sales, maybe. But definitely not a reliable rise above $2k), not until sometime late 2016 or sometime 2017. $5000 isnt a realistic goal until 2018, I'm afraid.

I'm gonna share my revolutionary bitcoin plan with you. Free of charge. Use it wisely.

1) Buy bitcoin
2) Wait 600 days
3) ??
4) Profit!

I see us going back to to above $300 within a week. Give or take a few days. We need to hold over it for a few weeks to say bye to the $200s once and for all. Aztecminer saw this coming and sold his account to a FUD troll. Here's to seeing ya, kid.
Last call, last call! All aboard the moon train!

First, digital coin replace money. Later, robot replace man! Stop bitcoin before is too late!
                                                                              ^{Am I FUDing right?}

What happens when people die and nobody can un-encrypt their wallets? Sad day for whoever's next of kin. That's not a problem with bitcoin, that is the problem of one idiot user not taking his own mortality into account when handling his money. A nationwide wildfire could theoretically destroy an entire nation's fiat, you know how common nation-wide EMP blasts are? As common as nation-wide fires. And last time I checked EMPs DO NO DAMAGE TO PAPER WALLETS. How dare you call yourself a miner when displaying such blatant ignorance!? Back up your shit, and it's good against the destruction of the backed-up material. If you have bitcoin and two neurons to rub together, you have several backups in several forms and storage means.

Yeah, at the time, 32K seems excessive. I think we'll be at 10K by 2020, tops.

Sure, any other and more widely accepted crypto has a chance at being as (or more) popular and widely used than bitcoin. And we can sit here and type for days about the millions of hypothetical scenarios where bitcoin ends below the competition (be it fiat or altcoins). One bitcoin is 1 billion satoshi. There will be 21 million billion satoshi by the time all bitcoin are mined. Even if 90% of that is lost, we will have 2.1 million billion satoshi... are those not enough to circulate? There are $5 trillion in printed cash in the world. There is (the equivalent) of 500 trillion pennies in cash in the world at the moment (according to this: http://gizmodo.com/5995301/how-much-money-is-there-on-earth). Are 2,000 trillion satoshi _{(10% of total bitcoin that there will ever be)} not enough to be used as cash!? "Eventually, it will not be enough!" what a dishonest argument. We won't have to worry about that. Our children won't have to worry about that. Our children's children might ponder that someday there might not be enough satoshi to use bitcoin as fiat... I doubt that the hypothetical scenario of having to re-start block rewards will happen this century.

No form of value exchange is intrinsically backed by anything. Gold? Just pretty looking metal, arbitrarily chosen to be valuable. Fiat? Backed by politic stability, look at what happened to the Euro over the Greek drama. Crypto? Arbitrarily chose bits and bytes to represent value. So long as it's good to exchange for goods and services, I dont care what arbitrary, human-created token we use.

Banks laugh a bitcoin because first they ignore you, then they mock you, then they fight you... then you win. Bitcoin will win, it's already winning. It's slowly making it's way into the public consciousness, and slowly, people are hearing about it, and understanding it. There are no big news stories about bitcoin because its not a hot new thing. And that's good, because it's going to become as mundane and commonplace as bills... and when was the last time you hear big news about paper currency? Someday, we wont be waiting for news, because we wont need news. Bitcoin is an expanding market, and like the lightbulb, it will still be spreading through earth long after its creator's death. It will be a light in the darkness.

You can't ban bitcoin. You cannot restrict bitcoin to any geological location. That is what makes it so much better than all currencies, and soon the sleeping giant will rise again. Above and beyond the previous, tiny ATH.

PS: what's up with BTC-e always being behind the other exchanges on the way up? We're already averaging above $280, and BTC-e is lagging behind at $276... Well, I'm excited for tomorrow.

I think the halving is far enough away to not really affect the price, but close enough to to be taken into consideration. I agree with Inca, no smart investor will let go of their Bitcoin until ether after the 2016 halving. Unless, one chooses to cash in part of their BTC at certain price goals.

If people buy both separately, they spend BTC0.08, but if a single person buys both at once, he's offering both accounts for a total of BTC0.07. That's a BTC0.01 discount! 

I'm sticking to my flawless bitcoin strategy. 1) Buy bitcoin 2) wait 600 days 3)?? 4)Profit!
Works every time. Or would have worked every time since August 2011. I'm just trying it now, (well, since Feb. this year) so we'll see.

Wow, and BTC-e is already back up at $270. Someone might have tried to start a crash (can that been done with 5000 coins?), but we're soldering through!

Wow, I just noticed the BTC-e dump. Wow, I'm really surprised that it didnt have a larger effect on the price (I have o idea how many Bitcoin were dumped). I really wish I could have gotten some BTC (or fraction of) for $150. Really, I'm optimistic. I hope we're not in for another week of boredom.

It's a good thing we got a halving coming up next year. By November 2016, god knows what price bitcoins are going to at. Me, I think it's going to be about $1300.
