People are getting into bitcoin because they believe it can go far and be used as a currency. Whenever it crashes, people quickly buy back. People aren't going to sell - they'll instead buy with bitcoin and save on tax fees/etc. Thoughts?

Isn`t it a classic bear indicator when people start believing that a bubble isn`t going to crash anymore?
You`re right that some people believe bitcoin will keep rising and eventually be used as a legitimate currency. But most of those people are active on bitcointalk and reddit, and likely constitute a small fraction of total investors at this point. Most are just waiting for a healthy return, and once they feel the buy support shrinking or if some other catalyst comes along they will run for the exits. It will be a Chinese fire drill when that happens.

Also some people believe it can go far but can take several price dips on the way up; so they try to use that opportunity to increase their Bitcoin holdings.

True, some wins BTC, some looses BTC along the road.

Famous last words. A bear market will come but the question is from what level. 1250, 5000, 10000, 100000. An 80% decline from 10000 is 2000, higher than the current price. A 90% decline from 100000 is 10000, almost 10x the current price.

Wrong , its a bubble and it will burst , it is a simple mechanism of domino effect , at some point - i guess between 1000 and 2000 - some will sell right or buying pressure will ease that's for sure so price will drop a bit but who bought at higher prices will start to panic and sell and so on , so a normal healthy correction will turn into a selloff ... currently we're in the delusion greed phase , dont want to sell , prices is going to 1 million , 1K is the floor ... etc its a classic bubble . http://thevictoryreport.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/Bubble_Phases1.jpg

You do not know at what point on the curve we are now. These graphs look for nice viewing after the crash.

Of course, if we are in the `delusion` phase, nobody is going to admit that. It is the delusion phase, after all.

If I had a bitcoin for every time I've seen this graph.... Yup. I would have said it applied back in April 2013 and also early November 2013, yet now look where we are. One day, I do believe that this graph will apply, and the bears will be able to say 'I told you so', but it is a question of where. If Bitcoin can hit 10K before hitting the 'New Paradigm' phase, then even this late on, Btc is still an investment opportunity of a lifetime. Best thing anyone can do is remain open to all possibilities. For this reason, I prefer reading bearish threads on here as all the hubris and pompous declarations of Bitcoin going to a bazillion aren't good for the mental attitude. The less a person buys into delusional paradigms, the less likely he will be to have his illusions shattered.

if everybody kept thinking what they wanted to (that BTC is going to rise rise rise) then that would be self-fulfilling prophecy.. at least to a point where big time holders can't take the heat anymore and bow out.
it seems like we are in the mania phase of that graph.. but are we at enthusiasm or greed?
