Slowly switching from denial to fear. Couple of weeks ago, denial was the dominant sentiment, now we are also seeing fear, with only some still holding on to denial.

Correct, I see it in myself as well.

There's nothing magic about $50+ making it the absolute bottom.

Just because it stopped around $50 in April 2013 doesn't mean it will again.

There's a whole different bunch of people playing the game today.

plus if it falls below 100, most likely an alt will take over before another btc bubble

it is slowly dying until Ethereum comes out, coincidence ?

Let me guess, you are wearing a placard saying, 'the end of the world is nigh (sell bitcoin)'?

I sold my bitcoins on 2013 December, when the price was about 1060$. After that, I have only bought bitcoin by holding it no more then 12h tops.
I just haven't seen a reason that would cause a strong enough rise to be sustained. I think that the crypto market is highly inefficient, and the majority of the players are dumb and inexperienced.

I believe that there would have been a proper trend reversal in 2014 Q3, if the market would have dropped to around 200$ in Q1 and would have rested there till Q3, and then there would have been enough force to push the rise back into orbit. The fake reversals that we have seen here, have only made the market weaker. For instance, if the price would have stayed at 200$ for the first part of 2014, then it would have slowed down mining expansion and that would have meant less cost for the network and less selling pressure. Biggest buyers of coin jumped in too early and only exhausted their resources in paying the overheated and senseless mining network.
Now, the rich enthusiasts are out of resources or enthusiasm and because there are even more mined accumulated coins waiting to be sold, the selling pressure is even higher then before to push through.
Bitcoin as an investment went to hell, because people couldn't keep a cool head and tried to push BTC up too early. Too much of "if we believe it enough, then anything can happen!!!" attitude will screw things up like that.

<I sold at the top you fools!>

What is rather strange is that you sold right at the top of the last bubble with perfect timing, then didn't bother to register your account until three months later.

Why are you still here?

I find it rather strange that you think that someone should come directly here after making proper profit. But to calm your suspicion, I have had 2 other accounts during this time period (kkaspar , zapffe ).

I agree with you that coming here isn't exactly constructive, but I like to keep my eye on the general sentiment. I still believe in the idea of open-sourced monetary systems and I think that bitcoin still plays a big part in putting this idea into practice.

Wait, isn't that actually good news for the price? I see you guys complaining constantly that there are too many miners and thus the supply is bigger than demand. Am I missing something?

Love how Bitcoin is such a den of thieves, scammers and con artists that we can't even keep it at one incident per week anymore.

How many stolen Bitcoins are going to be distributed on the market this time?

The supply is the same regardless of the number of miners.

Then what could actually lower the supply?

[luckygenough56]

a fork lol

Nothing will change, CEX.IO will continue to mine with all it's hardware. Only the customers who purchased cloud GHs will get nothing, because the maintenance fees will become higher than their income.

And in all seriousness, let me repeat the BASIC principle of Bitcoin supply. Supply is CONSTANT. That's why the difficulty adjusts to the hashrate, to keep the supply constant. 25 BTC each 10 minutes...

It is, but in a longer perspective. There will be a lag by the already accumulated coins that have been mined with high production costs and hopes of quick ROI. These coins create high selling pressure and there won't be a rise before these coins have switched hands. This won't be over quickly and I think that it will be too late for BTC when the market finally recovers from the mining craze.
