As many pointed out the timing couldn't have been better. I'll simply hold my coins. During these days I say to myself that 1 BTC is 1 BTC. Our time has yet to come. If Bitfinex and Tether blow up, I just don't care
I would merit this post, but I blew my load  That's gay!!!!! Not that I am arguing that gay folks have less self-control..... hahahahahahahaha

Perhaps. Bitstamp seems to forcing the fall. Lets see if $9200 holds.

Maybe Tether was adopted by Bitfinex specifically to prevent plunges? Our hero? Lol

Well it would make a nice exit scam, compounded: 1 print fake money 2 use it to pump the price of an asset 3 Dump and crash the asset price 4 Profit 5 Buy back the cheap asset and run with it. 6 ?

Noticing that all the "hype coins" are taking the hardest hit. I'm beginning to speculate which one will be the next to implode.

... I still struggle to understand why he recommended it to me, yet never embraced it himself. I just think it was mainly laziness on his part. ...
Isn´t it possible that your friend simply didn´t had the money to buy BTC even when the Bitcoin price was low? I guess a few people that believed in Bitcoin simply missed out due to not being liquid enough to invest. I´m not sure from which country you are, but even in a wealthy country like the US the average person is not exactly having a lot of money that is available for investment. 63% Of Americans Don't Have Enough Savings To Cover A $500 EmergencyMaybe you should reconsider and gift him a few mBTC  Yes. One of the first things that folks have to learn to do is to attempt to live within their means, and if they have a lifestyle that causes them to spend more than they bring in, then they gots themselves problems. Once they figure out how to live within their means, then they can take some of that extra money and put it into bitcoin. Whether it is $20 per month or $100 per month or some other amount that works for them, and they also should have enough of a dollar stash (or otherwise liquifiable assets), that they do not have draw from their bitcoin funds in case of an emergency - and emergencies happen, they should be part of every person's expected budget.,, planning ahead for six months can be good enough for regular peeps, but if you finances are more complicated and you have businesses that you have to cashflow, too, then you may want to budget in the 18 month territory (I'm currently floating in the 12 -18 month territory for my budgeting ahead). Also, if you have some BIG expenses that are not reoccurring, but are projected out beyond 18month, then you minimally should be projecting your cashflow out until the time that payments on the BIG expenses are expected to hit you.

Ripple is definitely taking a disproportionate hit. If there was ever a definition of 'Froth', that would be it.

I think I might reverse my earlier assessment of it going back to 1k. This is looking increasingly like one of those "propellor overheat" corrections on a humungous scale, which means we're still in a heavy bull market. I've seen this so often now, not just in bitcoin but in altcoin markets as well. See this post for background: http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=178336.msg17475939#msg17475939The problem is, the correction's just far to sharp and deep for it to be the start of a long term bear market. What's happened is it got overheated in December, then the bubble popped. Then shorters took control and it gets oversold. Then the short bubble pops and it generally ends up halfway up the retrace where it stabilises. So that would be around $13,800 if it spikes down to, say $8800. If it really was the start of a long term bear, what usually happens is you get a bubble popping to, say 30%, 40% retrace, then a slow build up over a couple of months, then lower highs from there on for 6 months to a year. This isn't like that. It's a perfect bitcoin overheat retrace type correction (IMHO that is). Lets see what happens when the shorts close and re-assess as we're getting into oversold territory at increasingly long ranges now. RSI is confidently oversold at all ranges up to the 6 hour already, 12 hour is just entering and 1, 3 day are not far off.  Here's a close-up of that "propellor" correction pattern I was referring to earlier. 2 of them compared. Now go back and see them in context of that other big chart and a somewhat informative picture starts to emerge.

Are you trying to assert that $10k is going to become resistance, rather than support? "this time"?

Well, theres a feel of "hybernation" in the air, seems the price is freezing and theres lower highs and a slow fall. Thats why I assumed we were in a bear market already, and the price would go full irrational to even 4k. But you are implying theres a second bubble, in the opposite direction, a bear trap. Theres a lot of resistance and selling orders are quickly fulfilled, the whales cant short to where they want the price to be, hence this desperate FUD about a subpoena to Bitfinex from 6 december, timed exactly with CME settlement date. Thats why I believe we have a short bear trend, that it will last perhaps some weeks. When LN is released to the public, this trend might be over and price will go up again.

The public won't understand what it is or give the slightest shit. They want to sell for more than they paid. That's the full extent of their interest in crypto.

So basically, you are saying that we are now at the bottom pretty much, since the first "pop" was the initial one, and the drop now is the big one, when the price will increase? How is this different from Elliot Wave Theory, and why do you think this pattern occurs?

 Google Trends for Bitcoin is the only indicator that is 100% accurate  So... We should pump Google searches for "bitcoin"? Someone set up a bot please.
