How does the Bitcoin Collapse Start?

[airdata]

Too many people calling for a collapse or crash...

Very likely most of them want to buy BTC cheaper.

Not sure if they will be successful, as the Technical Analysis shows a typical pausing consolidation, with another likely upmove to test or break 20$

True. These threads should be moderated.  We could have a single collapse thread but we dont need 5 new ones every day.

To say CORRECTION over buy now is just ridiculous...to say a "correction" happens every weekend and then ends Sunday is just as ridiculous.

..tends to start on Sunday afternoon/eve != to say a "correction" happens every weekend and then ends Sunday
You have clearly misquoted me.

Did you even notice my primary point was to teach others about the herd mentality? I know it's "ridiculous".
It's also "ridiculous" to have a 15 Trillion USD debt, do you also find fault with that opinion?

I simply had to point out, its HERD not HEARD.

Thanks

Exactly.  The title on this thread sounds like it may be an intelligent conversation about how it could collapse, instead... buy.. buy ... sell... hurry the roof is falling. 

These threads of people trying to influence the market through the forums should be deleted for sure.

If anyone cares to notice, my advice was exactly correct, this time.

Can you add to the polling list? :

People start trading on reputation trust systems not requiring a medium of exchange.

Wouldn't this be the only reason that can collapse Bitcoin, if something better gets adopted?

[fetokun]

what about:

• More than 50% of bitcoiners become addicted to gambling and drugs and fork the project to generate coins for themselves and maintain their addiction (just like stealing from your own house)

It is almost mathematecially impossible for a bitcoin collapse to occur since there are trillions that could move into it and it is limited supply and huge convenience= increasing demand. If a Govt declared it illegal and they will ,then I expect perhaps a few weeks or months dip in price but other than that we should see no losing quarters probably no losing months and I project 150 by 2012 maybe 1000..look there are less than 7 million bitcoins.If a billion dollars pours into bitcoins (which is a super small amount of all that could pour into it) the price would be over $140 per bitcoin.Face it we who are in early are gonna make some very good cash. Wait till the drug lords start parking their money in bitcoins or the mob or just a billionaire or two

I have great faith in the resilience of Bitcoin, and for the sake of my little hoard hope others do too

this sort of reasoning is deeply flawed. by analogy, you'd have to say it's 'almost mathematically impossible' for the population of iceland to remain so small, given all the worldwide travel and the fact that iceland has such a low population density.

finance, like many other human affairs, doesn't work like a thermodynamic system that can be analyzed in simple stochastic-entropic terms.
