Ok so BTC has increased almost 100% in the past month, so, where's the correction? it's impossible for BTC to keep going up without a correction. When do you think the big investors are going to sell and capitalize on their profits? investors know that BTC will continue to go up in the long run, however, big investors work mostly on short term goals, they have numbers to reach at the end of the month and profits to report, so I doubt investors are thinking long term here (more than 12 months) and with an already interesting return (almost 100% in the past month) then I would expect to see a sell off... Any thoughts?

It will happen once everyone is no longer waiting for it.

where does this concept come from? Bitcoin is not some wall street mutual fund investments vehicles, big or small, most are just individuals.

Everyone knows that each bitcoin is worth at least 10k$ each So just keep your bitcoin that you will be rich really fast! Easy uh? I will wait to buy @ 15$

My anger against what is wrong in the Bitcoin community is productive: Bitcointa.lk - Replace "Bitcointalk.org" with "Bitcointa.lk" in this url to see how this page looks like on a proper forum (Announcement Thread)Hashfast.org - Wiki for screwed customers

Well if there are big dogs out there I hope they do sell to distribute the coins a bit.
Personally I don't care if it drops a bit... you would have to pryse my Bitcoins from my cold dead hands at the moment!
Anyone else here consider selling at 25?
Some of those big movements could be exchanges or even Casinos buying up loads in advance of the coming tide.

Not a chance! I don't have many BTC in cold storage (or at all) at the moment but the few that are in cold storage aren't moving for less than the equivalent of about $250 in today's money - and probably a lot more besides.

Mmmm this concept comes from investors that move large sums of money for a living. Where does your knowledge comes from when you claim that bitcoin are mostly just "individuals"? Have you checked the transactions in block chain? I see 20,000-70,000BTC transactions on a daily basis I doubt "individuals" are moving that amount of BTC in single transactions. 20k BTC is merely 400~500k, that size is too small comparing with any real financial institutional transactions,and they may not be individuals, but I do not see any evidence supporting the existence of big chuck of "investors with short term goals", I am sure there are some, but the current bitcoin transaction volume couldn't support a large pie of "investors that move large sums of money for a living"

This is not some pseudoeconomic post-modern Libertarian cult, it's an un-led, crowd-sourced mega startup organized around mutual self-interest where problems, whether of the theoretical or purely practical variety, are treated as temporary and, ultimately, solvable. Censorship of e-gold was easy. Censorship of Bitcoin will be… entertaining.

it's impossible for The Internet to keep going up growing without a correction.

Stop losses. If I were you, I'd press the "buy-back" button right now.

On a related note it's worth mentioning that Gavin said there would be 2 or 3 more bubbles, but he may not be correct.
What if bitcoin grows exponentially, there will be more demand for bitcoin, so I don't see the price decreasing then.

A lot of people are looking at what happened to the price last year and are kicking themselves for not buying at the bottom. I expect any dips to be short-lived because any significant downturn will cause more people to buy.

I do hope from time to time there are 60% retracements, so that BTC attract only true believers, speculators will definitely get shaked out by a 60% retracement and stay away

No, that will draw speculators like flies on shit. It's easy to say than done, if price in a week dropped below $10, I'm sure the sentiment will totally be negative, you will see how many doomsayers there will be
