Look at the charts from the 31 bubble... It didn't crash all the way overnight, but it never recovered.
I don't have the confidence to buy yet.

Even in the event that an attacker gains more than 50% of the network's
computational power, only transactions sent by the attacker could be
reversed or double-spent. The network would not be destroyed.

No...BTC is just taking off. The press has really given a lot of attention to BTC recently and, while most of the public still doesn't know about BTC, that's quickly changing. Forbes has had several articles on BTC recently and Clark Howard briefly mentioned it positively on a recent broadcast. As more people continue to learn about this, the more it will grow and the more valuable it will become.

People will be a lot more cautious this time about just throwing good sense to the wind and running the price up sky high. I think this will be the beginning of a decline to sub-100 levels (by the end of this week) followed by a gradual rising trend as new exchanges are developed.

...yes. A lot of attention, just like last time. It didn't help on the way from 20$ (roughly, the bottom of the first crash) to 2$, did it?

Mainstream media attention. I don't remember much of that in 2011.

There is only one bitcoin. Millions of people have started hearing about it in the last month and wanting to get in. We're getting shout outs from important people, front page news on drudge, front page on reddit, radio shows about it, debates. Don't give up. The gox lag is the only thing that needs to be dealt with... without the lag none of these flash crashes would have happened.
Bitcoin is important because it's in the right place at the right time. A black swan event. This isn't the end

I think it'll eventually stabilize at some value between $100 and $150 and stay there for a while. I wouldn't be surprised if there was another bubble up to $250 or greater. I would be surprised if it went below $100.

Is it actually over? Or are we going to see a gradual decline like last time
I believe the market will not be doing a long slide down like last time... 2011 was a different age. back then buying bitcoin was true speculation ( there was very little you could actually do with a bitcoin, and there was very few drugs on SR... ) this time around the market is less about speculative investment and more about giving bitcoin a fair valuation given all these cool start-ups now making money with the bitcoin. the reason for the crash is the same, early adopter taking profit and hoping to cause panic to buy back lower. i do not believe there is any reason to panic. i do not believe the seller will have the opportunity to buy back lower.

+1 $150 sounds about right. I'm expecting it to fall below $100 and test $50. Then a range of $50 to $150, consolidating around $100 before the next growth cycle.

Indeed a reasonable expectation. I think new money has been sufficiently scared enough to not re-inflate to such stupid valuations. Then I believe inflationary pressures coupled with a waning "interest" in attempting to game a ponzi scheme will bring it the price to the range you suggest.

If we actually saw the top yesterday (I think so but in this market nothing is certain) I figure we'll go much lower. Maybe even $20.

Last time (june 2011) it was a decline with a hack. Nov/Dez 2010 - From 0.50 to 0.20 - Gradual Decline Mar/Apr 2011 - From 1.00 to 0.75 - Gradual Decline Jul/Aug/Sep/Oct/Nov 2011 - From 30.7 to 2.30 - Gradual Decline with a hack Jan/Fev/Mar 2012 - From 7.2 to 4.3 - Gradual Decline Bitcoin is a disruptive technology. Each day it stays alive, it worth more. What we see is a growing market with some pauses for consolidation / little decline. As a reminder the natural decline after the rally from 1.00 to 30.00 was interrupted / severed by a hack that "sent the value from 17 dollars to 1 cent", as portrayed by the media. Boom! 5 months of severe decline, like never before. After this huge rally, maybe a little longer correction is due now, like the normal previous ones.

There are still 20 000 accounts in the MT Gox queue. And a good deal are just itching to put money in. I have $50k+ just sitting in limbo with mt gox due to AML. So frustrating....
This crash is but a mere speck on the monstrosity of a rally that is coming in the long run...

It was triggered by the hack but it was a bubble. It might have gone a bit higher without the hack but it would still have popped.

Who sold not me....I'm in for the long hall don't care if they go to zero...
I mean yeah sure call a top sell out make some money / more coins, but you will only do this 50% of the time, ie you sell out and it doesn't drop...
so why stress....long term trend, this is but a blip, 12 or 17 --> 2 dollars is much more significant, show the downs are not as bad as they were, more support, I mean it had support at over 100$ or almost that, and this was something we debated we would even reach, 100$ that is...!

Yeah, I'd still buy the fuck out of it at $1000. The arguments for buying BTC today are not suddenly and magically go to become invalid just because a nice round number is achieved (1000). This "crash" has been a rather big success for bitcoin IMO. As the market cap grows these scares will eventually fade into the noise floor.

I was around by then but it appears the press coverage etc. has fuddled my memory. That graph shows a very neat bubble shape, by the way.

I still do not see any basis for such high prices. My estimate is around $20 with single digits not entirely unthinkable. Some people tend to believe that wealth preserving bitcoin owners will keep the price higher, but what would they do if they see that their wealth is not preserved? If they experience a long decline, I think a large fraction of them will sensibly sell, if only to buy back later for a lower price. They will effectively become speculators. The base line for the bitcoin price is established by those bitcoin users who actually pay for goods and services, but that is mostly Silk Road, Satoshi Dice, and a few other businesses where bitcoin payments do not actually have much advantage. My prediction is that we will have a decline that lasts 6 months, a year, or longer, with interspersed bull traps like the first one yesterday. My estimate for the low point is $20. $30, while conceivable, would actually surprise me a bit, $10 would not. Of course, unpredictable things may happen in the future that throw these estimates off, but then we would all see them and adjust accordingly.

I think we did see the top yesterday. Even if the price went higher once more, that would only be a heavy bull trap. And I think you are perfectly on the spot with the $20 prediction. We will have to wait half a year or more for that though.
