Wow @ LTC / OKcoin, there was a guy that put up three 80000 LTC wall @ 29.20s, it took about 10-15 minutes, but they got eaten afterwards and not pulled. It seems people are willing to buy if the price get low enough(lol~shroomskit).  At which price will BTC bull whales jump in?

in Bitcoin's case, Hal finney was that brave first follower

Thanks dude, very educative.

The TED talk by Derek Sivers that uses this video (and likely popularized it) is also worth a watch.

I think that bitcoin is still at a level of risk that we all remain sort of first followers - especially can feel that way during periods that the price is in a downward trajectory and we continue to hope that it recovers to stability and to new ATHs... above the $1200-ish levels

idk about you guys but i'm still dancing and poeple around aren't quite ready to join in. not sure what they are waiting for...

YEP... that's what I meant to say...

So let's call out everyone that said they were buying if we dipped to $480. 

Why buy now, according to fallling we can have free coins sooner rather than later.

If prices seem to be in a form of free fall that actual occurrence does cause hesitation in buying, as we may realize.

[adamstgBit]

price is irrelevant bitcoin is doing good.

[JayJuanGee]

any reasons for the drop?

goxed
51% pool (easy came easy gone easy return)
crackers and governments and shit having 1200k coins(mtgox 200k, Ross Ulbricht 140k, crackers: 850k)
no new money
governments warning and banning
scam IPOs many including Ethereum and others
everyone is selling / spending
Dell / Expedia / Newegg / House dealer / etc are selling in real time
Winklevoss ETF will actually be shot down
GABI is already priced in
Dubai exchange won't create any thing new
etc..

silly wanker

I think that fallling got goxed, has pissed his pants when nearing the 51%, somebody from the government has taken his crackers, he has no new money, he's banned from his cardboard box, invested all of his cans into Ethereum, tried to buy a house from the House dealer, but since they only accepted BTC, he couldn't buy one, winklevoss+gabi+dubai something he read about on the piece of paper he used to clean off his ass while shitting in his new cardboard box.

Now he's here venting his frustration, because his cardboard box got wet from the rain.

That is way too complicated... MORE likely is that he is just paid by some government of financial institution to talk shit about BTC... as part of a team effort to lower BTC prices and possibly even attempt to undermine confidence in BTC or to distract us from having more meaningful communications about BTC or any other topic that we may feel important

This constant downward pressure we've been seeing pretty much the whole year doesn't make sense anymore.
I simply refuse to believe this is natural. That this is what everyone wants.
I also don't believe in theories as banks or governments taking us down. That is nonsense. But this is simply not normal behaviour. It's getting absurd now. This last round of dumping is absurd.

If a government wants some FUDsters they have better options than this poor guy making an impression of a broken spam bot algorithm. We can blame our governments but better not this way.

Let us take it for granted that there is a concerted manipulation effort to drive the price lower.

What knowledge do you draw from this fact? How does it help your trading?

If the manipulator is able to achieve his desires with a minimum of resources, and there is no opposition to him, be it from opposed manipulation or natural buying, then what does it tell you about the state of this market?

[JayJuanGee]

haha, lol. just tried to chat in the btc-e trollbox and found out you need $100 on deposit to be able to post ;-)

Well that get's rid of Jorge - types.. hehehe

r/buttcoin, hard to believe it's just a few random people with no life, hating bitcoin and starting this separate channel.
People putting such negative effort into something like that seems very fishy to me.

The thing is, there's still too much confidence in the market (look at the current poll). Fear, capitulation, despair? We haven't seen this yet. Ironically all the good news of the last weeks and months are to blame. So this bleeding will only fade out slowly. A stable price at around 500$ would be nice for now, and then ccmf will be back soon.

how about miners need to liquidate coins to pay bills? It's the turn of the month. Many might've put it off waiting for higher prices.

I could not say it better:

This fall is purely technical.
The way that news works is like this;
Bear market
Bad news is seen as very bad and good news just slows the descent.

Bull market
Good news is great while bad news slows the rise

It's all about how the news is perceived.

This fall is just unwinding the remains of the bear market. There is more coming and the news will do nothing to stop it. The fact that we had all this good news from earlier this year and we could only correct up a bit of the fall is a prime example of how much news affects the market. It will not create a reversal and we don't need bad news to have a correction. This is just natural market behavior.

what is happening @BTC-e shows us how fucked up these business owners they can get sometimes, in a normal fair world, the Admins notice the unusual activity from this bot and they coordinately ac, one way is by blocking the API access temporarily to prevent the bot from losing all the owner's money, I am sure the owner would be really thankful and the positive impression would be felt and reflected on all customers, but because this is Bitcoin and BTC-e we are talking about, they don't give a fuck and they are sitting happily watching the poor guy losing all this kind of money.

if someone failed with his own trading bot why should the exchange bother to bail him out?

I think government should make laws about failing bots.
They should always be bailed out
