Sorry, I don't get this actual price stuff.  When I bought $4.20 not too long ago was that not the actual price?  Do I owe somebody money?
Obviously the market equilibrium for Bitcoins is $5 because

… cool number!

I expect it to stabilize around there in the following months. Grin Grin Grin Grin

5$ is its actual value
Yeah right. Roll Eyes

Stable would be good for bitcoin merchants, but realistically, this is not going to happen at current levels. More likely there will be wild swings in the next couple of years before there is some stabilization.
That’s the joke. Bitcoin will never be nearly stable until its price discovery reveals either 0 or 4-5 digit.
Following up on that thought: Shorting can give you 100% profit + if you borrow it, potentially unlimited loss, going long potentially unlimited profits with limited loss. Grin

also that the advent of Bitcoinica shorting in September contributed to an undershoot down to $2.  that has now evened out.
And the (lack of) Bitcoinica leverage was responsible for 7.22 and 4.64. So 50% of that move would be 4.6. What now? Grin

We need this to be MUCH more common here, so,

Full disclosure: I am long BTC.

If this goes on much longer this'll turn into the longest period of relatively flat prices in bitcoin trading history so far.
Bitcoin is finally getting stable.

Nah, forget it.

The S3052 newsletter most likely prevented that for now. Unless THE SUPER RALLYYYYYYYYY BITCOIN IS MAINSTREAM NOW WE ARE GOING TO OVER NINE THOUSAND kicks off, I still am convinced we will challenge 4.5 again, but it might happen much later, after a ridiculously small corrective rally in BTC terms (1 or 2 USD up perhaps). I hoped we would do a final capitulation with a serious reversal like from 0.55 last year so I can hold for weeks and months to come, but no.

This is now postponed. Next up: Hot potato.

Agree. But look what 5.2 is: http://www.sierrachart.com/userimages/upload_2/1331485270182.png

You buying up? Grin

If you believe it's that simple, I won't try to persuade you otherwise. Does anyone actually think a chart maker would put down money after they sent out their charts? It's kind of assumed, or people stop subscribing. Use the information as part of your matrix.
It is (or as it used to be when i subscribed) not only chart making but provides speficic trading advice, though … That’s the thing with the sudden updates. They make subscribers trade without any regard to the actual content just to be first.

I haven’t seen waveaddict do this until now, luckily, even though he too provides specific trading advice – but he simply does so in advance, not buy/sell right NOW.

From now on though I will refrain from talking about this again, as apparently many subscribers silently condone it (?).
2954  Economy / Speculation / Re: #1 most popular Bitcoin Price Forecasts (subscribe here: bitcoinbullbear.com) on: March 11, 2012, 10:41:03 AM
But if you profit off that, does it really bother you?
It’s hard to profit off that. You have to be first and you have to get out first as soon as it seems to fail.
2955  Economy / Speculation / Re: #1 most popular Bitcoin Price Forecasts (subscribe here: bitcoinbullbear.com) on: March 11, 2012, 10:28:54 AM
And it is very clear that people once again act upon it.  Let's see how much funds are controlled by these newsletter.
A criticism I have issued before. I think he puts up the price on his subscribers temporarily and makes them worse off. For instance, the buy(s) that made the 5.07 top was caused by one update as I recall.

Same thing happens on the bottom.

I don’t think this is a win/win scenario. People should come to conclusions theirselves, not act within seconds of some email just because they are "forced" to by others who do it as quickly as possible.
2956  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Making a BTC pitch to a billionaire on: March 10, 2012, 09:27:34 PM
No offense, but the speculation forum was the worst place to put this Sad

Our goal is not to sell billionaires large quantities of bitcoins so that the price can go up... instead, we want these billionaires to support adoption with whatever influence they have.  This should be moved to Bitcoin Discussion.
Agreed. Enough with the penny stock nonsense.

The more I read about such stuff the more bearish I become because it’s like we are desperate.

Thank you very much! Will definitely check this out.
2958  Economy / Speculation / Re: Could I drive up the Bitcoin price with a clearing purchase? on: March 10, 2012, 03:42:40 PM
the most likely catastrophe is an attack on mtgox by either hackers or the gov't.
Which would kill the price anyway.

Also I doubt they will be hacked into again. But the US government attack remains, true.

but at least you'd still have your btc's tucked away in your own wallet and not on some gov't computer.  another exchange would emerge to take gox's place and the price would recover eventually.
OK, I agree that one should have a certain portion of BTC holding offline, depending on personal preference. I plan on arranging such a thing myself, but I want to do it in a way that will make me unable to access the coins until a certain date or event, so that I am guaranteed to hold. Any idea? Grin

add this; i would create an air gapped wallet for cold storage.
Personally what what I never liked about this option is that I might get to learn about some impending catastrophe and wish to sell immediately, not after 6 blocks. I want my Bitcoins liquid.

I trust Gox pretty much now, so I don’t mind using them as a "bank".
