Astonishing stuff. Would read again.

Am I missing summat?

All I see is a bunch of numbers plucked from a passing anus.

Lately I've turned bearish, especially with the last chart from bob. I believe it's just a matter of time before we decidedly break under $5700. Though, I have a hard time seeing how the 2020 halving becomes a non-factor in terms of price.

Hy guys,

there where some pricepredictions from some guys for the end of this year ranging from 18k to 50k, so let's see what happens  

And then there's some guys expecting sub 6K.  Probably safer to include this range also. 3K-50K is a gamble I'd take although I'd prefer a slow and stable increase such as this past week.

I am.. !! LOL..   .. would love a sub 6k again, missed the last one..  

Oh?  You have not had enough opportunities to buy coins in the $6k territory?  We are in the $6k territory right now?  In the long term, there is not much difference between $6,400 and $5,900.  

In other words, haven't we had enough time to buy?  Aren't we ready for up, yet? 

Maybe I don't understand why supposed bitcoin bulls would be hoping for lower BTC prices (to accumulate more) when we have already had a pretty decently long period of low prices (since early February there have been dips into the sub $6ks), so aren't we ready to move up, yet?

Bitcoin is a mechanism for transferring money from the impatient to the patient.  

Big cap shitcoins are the biggest shitcoins of all.  

You are kinda pessimistic, man

It costs $2,500 to deploy a single contract on a Neo with today’s (depressed) Gas prices.  During the peak it cost up to $38k to deploy just one contract.  

There is exactly zero chance any serious business would ever use Neo.

[JayJuanGee]

hi guys, I'm new to the thread.
I checked several altcoins, many had already lost everything they gained yesterday, but NEO.... it's halfway only. I shorted a bit (150) at 17.833 just to check my hunch . What do you think?

You in the right thread?  Have you noticed that this thread is about bitcoin?  What the fuck is NEO is it some kind of bitcoin?

You are lucky to be treated so nicely, when you are an off-topic newbie.

Check out 1w interval...

Such "no change week" usually means top or bottom.

[HairyMaclairy]

Candle hasn’t closed yet, but it is perfectly reasonable to expect a decent bounce off $5700 from here.

I remember in btc-e's trollbox people were saying $40k next year when the price was $1000 in 2014. After 4 years we reached $20k.

Now people are saying $100k in 2020. That means we'll see $50k in 2023 or 2022.

The fundamentals are different now. I've seen die-hard Bitcoin fans sell sub $200 last bear cycle (I have zero respect for those idiots), thinking that maybe Bitcoin is really just a fad and that most people's opinion that there won't be a financial revolution that would threaten established banks.

But now? Everybody agrees cryptocurrencies are here to stay. The question is which ones. Always. What's happening now is just market cycle things, parabolic rises are always accompanied  with gut-wrenching crashes.

Could not agree more. Context is everything. The average Joe of the world has heard about Bitcoin in 2018, it was not the case back in 2014. Most governments of the richest countries either banned or "monitor closely" Bitcoin right now, before they did not care much (but why Bitcoin was allowed to exist in the first place is a bit of a mystery to me...).
It's of course possible to make money now, but just don't expect crazy rises as it happened last year.

[infofront]

And then there's some guys expecting sub 6K.

I saw one prediction that had us dipping as low as $3k mid 2020.

I would like to pretend I never saw that one though

EDIT: Found it on Twitter.

Bitcoin difficulty is again expected to increase by 11% in 5 days.

So miners should be at a loss (maybe already or in 1-2 adjustments depending on unknow electricity + labour costs.)

Will be interesting if they will bring the price upwards somehow or just keep mining.

2019 will be the year of the failed ICO's.

One senior trader noted in May 2006, that when compared to "the rest of [Wall S]treet... we do the least amount of diligence and kickout the fewest loans".
The underwriting of loans was summarised in October 2007 to a top trader as follows: "You can't get to these default levels without having every possible, you know, style of scumbag... it's like quasi organised crime... [F]acilitated by brokers... and just a lot of bad people... "
