Bidwalls on Finex blinking in and out of existence (bitcoinity.org)? A bug? Or really just one guy controlling half of the bids down to $300?

Bitcoin capitalism: You have two cows. They produce a lot of milk the first few days, then quit producing. You hold onto them hoping that one day they'll resume their high milk output. Cows die leaving you with nothing.

Rich people are rich because they have made more good investments than bad, so why would a majority of them choose to buy a depreciating asset with no other use case than speculation?
This is not necessarily true. You could inherit money, you could make 100 bad investments and get incredibly lucky with one amazing investment, you could have busted your ass running your own business until it became a huge success (I guess you could consider that an investment in a sense, but again, one good investment), etc., etc. The point is, there are a lot of ways to get rich, not all of them have to do with investing, and not all rich people who invest are good at investing. Rich people can do dumb things, and get caught up in the emotion of excitement and greed, just like anyone else. Whether investing is bitcoin is one of those dumb things has yet to be seen, but it's not a guarantee that bitcoin will skyrocket again simply because rich people are investing.

Of course there are exeptions but I think on average my statement is true, which again begs the question: "why would a majority of them choose to buy a depreciating asset with no other use case than speculation?" That question is important, because if it can´t be satisfactorily answered it kind of looks like we are all waiting for the richest 1% of the global population to have a stroke simultaneously, and that might be unlikely.

Price is very stable in this day. It seems that for some days price will not move from 325$. Hope that something will change..

The default mode seems to be to continue downward -- there is just literally no regular demand. There are a few whales who interject at times to increase volume, but most people seem to be too concerned about the much larger bear whales to even bother scooping up coins. Thus, absent some sort of news event, we are continuing downward. We saw yesterday, for instance, a small relief rally on the heels of the Ben Lawsky speech. That said, that relief rally didn't equate into a sustained rally.
So, even at these low levels, a short doesn't seem out of the picture. But, a story like the ETF could burn you if you are a shorter because you could go from ahead of the game to a margin call. That said, I can't really imagine anything else that would come up that would shift the price upwards (and I'm not really sure that would either because it has to be priced in by now if this market is even remotely efficient). There was the PayPal thing, but that load has already burst. I think we have to hit rock bottom before we get some positive movement... and even that might not do the trick because it may just lead to more attrition amongst the faithful.
This is not a very healthy market, right now, at all. I don't know if that is intrinsic to Bitcoin or a consequence of dumpers (manipulators? or retailers?) and the learned behaviors of traders who've been dumped on too many time, but I don't see how you buy this market without a rally sufficient to give you confirmation of trend reversal (and that's always a catch-22 because if that's what you require to revitalize demand then it's not going to happen).
I am bearish and just watching, now. I don't feel like losing my money, right now. What do you guys think?

Yes bitpay selling pressure will continue or a large mining farm like KnC will continue to mine and dump

Interesting how popularity of this forum is so correlated with the price. Meaning, people are more interested in bitcoin while it is more expensive than while it's cheap. Isn't that ironic? Does that mean they're not truly interested in bitcoin, but only in dollars?

Because a majority of those rich people investing in bitcoin are caught up in the emotion of excitement and greed, just like many others. It's a cash grab for most investors. They don't care about the technology or the ideology regarding bitcoin. They just want to hopefully line their pockets some more on the backs of greater fools.

I understand that this is a wall observer thread but does anyone have anything else than (fake) ask/bid depth and useless TA to help predict price movement?
(Please don´t say monkey)
See the Litecoin movement, to see what is gonna happens to BTC movement. Also be glued in the charts helps, but most people have something better to do most of the day. This might help you practice staring at charts: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TpU5O_Uur_cYou might also place this on one half of the screen while watching the chart on the other. I am not sure if this will help you make the right decision but it will certainly do something, or don't, I don't know. ![Tongue](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/tongue.gif) (BTW, their "Honest Trailer" clips are actually funny.)

If you are a bitcoin fanatic, but you spend your bitcoins through merchants that instantly dump them for fiat [and you don't instantly rebuy them because you are allin] helping to dump a bit more the price downwards to break the $266 support.
Is that bearish or bullish?
