 we just gotta hold until next bubble and fiat crisis then crypto will explode into mainstream
 Yep. I foresee a mayor financial crisis, after that u would need to have bitcoins if u want to buy bread (or clams)  The USA has been in a bubble debt fuelled economy for at least 15 years, the dotcom bubble was followed by the real estate bubble and now we have the credit bubble or the Dollar bubble that will surely pop like all other bubbles.  The unfunded liabilities and the level of debt and mal investment is very high, it will end up in hyper inflation or market crashes or even both. Bitcoin will be more clearly seen as a safe heaven in that environment since there are less third party risk, a controlled and planned inflation and superior services in terms of mean of exchange and store of value. Hold! |

 Who and how? In case you hadn't noticed, Bitcoin is a global, decentralized, open-source, peer-to-peer protocol. The only way to enforce a "ban" would be to shut down the internet. |

The best they can do is force ISP to filter out packets recognized as part of the bitcoin network, or they can do the filtering even on cross-national links. But then you only need to encrypt the packet content to avoid it (like some extensions of the torrent protocol already do). Then, they can attack ad-hoc busy nodes on the network, with legal or technical means, but this will only push the network toward more decentralization. They can of course talk bitcoin down for the average citizen to the point that he feel physical repulsion, using the media industry. But even this is becoming rapidly useless, as more and more people became immune to propaganda. Even shutting down the internet will not do it, as data packets can be transmitted over radio frequencies, using SMS, or even printed to paper and attached to carrier pigeons. So, yes, bitcoin can't technically be stopped. |

 Always a good reference thread to come back to, to see where it all started.  Gotta forever HODL, if you believe in the technology behind it. Volatility going to continue to be crazy with only 4 Billiion market cap. |

 I think it will continue to go down until the year is over. No problem selling at a loss for tax purposes. Where it will go down to? who knows, I'm thinking $250-$300. If it goes below that, it could get ugly. After the new year though, I expect an increase by Q2 2015, then a same ride down, up, mostly down, until the end of 2015. Then get ready for the halving.     |
