I'm not sure what's going on. Why isn't there more buying pressure? sub $8k seems very cheap to me

I think you'd be surprised how little money from retail investors was the cause of the actual rally during the month of Dec. The whale pump money probably outnumbered Average Joe money like 100:1. Which also means this isn't Average Joe panic selling, it is whale(s) shorting.

I disagree, millions of new accounts are being added every month to exchanges around the world. I guess that's tens of millions of people 'not in his right mind'.

Plenty things have gone up in cost astronomically beyond inflation such as housing, tuition, healthcare and many IT stocks have gone up far more than that far quicker. Only precious metals such as gold and silver haven't gone up over the last 50 years when adjusted for inflation. Considering the word's population has doubled over that time that is a shockingly bad performance for something that is supposed to be "precious". ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif)

Well transactions per second are down to three from over 140 a second last night. Which is good, should help with stability.

I hope it stops at 8k.
But it can go to 5k, due to the noobs panicking. Just look at the other threads.
Never invest what you cannot lose. Never go all in. Always start with 5-15% of what you have.
Always hold it, until it matches what you want to buy with it, something expensive, like a sports car or a house.
And even when it matches what you want, dont sell it all, only a small part. Plan for dozens of cars or houses, not just one. Plan for a retirement.
Bitcoin critics are buying it at this moment. People like Dimon and Buffet are buying it. They dont need to understand the tech, they have clerks to take care of it.
The problem with these noobs is that they put all their money on it. Everything, their entire wages go to it. That's the recipe for disaster.

He is celebrating the founding of the Royal Netherlands Navy, which was in 1488.
