So it's 2014, and NOTHING happened

[Dafar]

People saying 2014 = "Year of BTC and LTC" please get the fuck out because the price is still at mid $700

[Ibian]

Not sure if ignore, or amused.

[jamesc760]

dafar, you got wrong info. 2014 is NOT supposed to be the YEAR. It's 2015 and beyond that will make bitcoin the dominant currency in the world.

[Dafar]

Not sure if ignore, or amused.

please don't, you're my favorite poster

dafar, you got wrong info. 2014 is NOT supposed to be the YEAR. It's 2015 and beyond that will make bitcoin the dominant currency in the world.

That is what I think too. Way too much hype for 2014, as if bitcoin does what everyone expects

[jamesc760]

Exactly.

This is what I suspect will happen:

big hype into 2014 as everyone expects big things will happen this year--> nothing will happen, and price will stagnate, everyone's hopes dashed, mad rush to sell off by middle-to-late 2014.

[T.Stuart]

...mad rush to sell off by middle-to-late 2014.

Are you waiting to buy Bitcoins?

[theecoinomist]

People saying 2014 = "Year of BTC and LTC" please get the fuck out because the price is still at mid $700

hurry, sell you coins

[bqxpd]

Anyone unbearably offended by the current price of bitcoins is eminently welcome to send theirs to the address in my sig. 

[Dafar]

Exactly.

I'd agree with this. I would argue right now bitcoin does not seem like a risky investment, the general consensus is that bitcoin is not going anywhere and will rise for sure. Fear and risk has to come in to play sometime sooner or later, the noobs will be shaken off and then we'll see significant gains when no one expects it.

Ow I forgot prices of products lik Bitcoin only get adjusted once per year.... too bad we have to wait for 2015 now

[CynosureEPR]

You do realize that we aren't even a full 24 hours into 2014    ..still 364+ days to go.

[BittBurger]

Dafar - for a guy whose dad has $1 million to blow on his son, you sure aren't saying things that reflect much intelligence.

You wait until halfway through January 1 to announce that Bitcoin did nothing in 2014?

Are you all there dude?  Seriously.

[woutersteven]

People saying 2014 = "Year of BTC and LTC" please get the fuck out because the price is still at mid $700

You do realize that we're only in the first few hours of 2014? You make $700 sounds like a lower figure, while it is almost an order of magnitude higher than last year.

anything can happens

[BitcoinBobbeh]

This can't be a serious post.

[Hypnoise]

This can't be a serious post.

there is quite serious analysis in the link, exactly explaining  what I wrote - anything can happen. If you would take a time to read it you would not comment my post that way, what I exactly would call a useless post.

Fact is that exchanges price kept artificially low  at the moment (sale wall on MtGox) and there is indication of large private sales in 2500-5000btc, which maybe exchanged at much higher, then current exchanges rates.

With date of US debt ceiling hearing at  7 February getting closer, if we will not see bitcoins back at 1240 in a month time, that would surprise me a lot.

Gox is at 870 right now.  That's a large percent increase this year so far.

[Bobsurplus]

Indeed it is!

[cointell]

Nothing is happening at all.

Bitcoin is up 8% in two days?  How boring...

[Dafar]

8%? who cares


I've been riding the NMC vs PPC waves all throughout yesterday and today and increased my overall BTC count. I think BTC and LTC will sit back for a bit and pick up near the end or after January, while letting the little boys play and gain some attention.

I don't think 2014 will be as bullish for bitcoin as everyone expects.... like pretty much everyone is confident we will reach $5000 or more. Instead I think there will be a couple of alt coins that surge in prices like BTC and LTC did last year. But I'm still trying to increase my overall BTC/LTC count instead of holding on to Alts because there are too many Alts and it's risky to bet on one of them and hope that it shines. I'm still bullish on BTC/LTC but maybe not for the next several months. When I say bullish I mean increasing by at least 100-200% from its ATH... if not 2014 is a disappointment.

You heard it here first people.

here if you referring to original post people usually putting some indication, like OP. Many threads quite old.

8%? who cares

If the Dow Jones Industrial Average went up that much it would be headline news.

But bitcoin?  meh... who cares.  LOL.

OP is either trolling or just plain feeble minded. In either event, the best response is to disregard him.

I've discovered that most people who declare their "bullish" or "bearish" state ... and use other super cool hip n trendy day trader jargon to fill their sentences ... usually don't know their ass from a hand grenade when it comes to Bitcoin and what it may do in the future.  It's almost like BTC has leveled the playing field.  Those who consider themselves soooooooo stock market-y fail to gain any ground using obsolete stock market rules.

Holy fuck it's already THE THIRD!! Come on Bitcoin, get off your arse. *pant, pant*

I'd say, priti impressive rally for the start of 2014.

I hope it will last a few days...

Not sure if you are referring to me because I really didn't provide much of an analysis, I'm just giving my opinion. I didn't use any "hip n trendy day trader jargon" at all unless you consider "ATH" and any % of numbers to be "day trader jargon" (lol). I never said I was an expert, in fact I'm the opposite, so calm down.

Can't wait to get my hands on Oculus Rift when the public 1080p version comes out

[Dafar]

So it's still 2014 and all I see is FUD about China and GHash.io


The moon is nowhere to be seen. People aren't even talking about it anymore

You're all wrong, the year 3030 is the year of the bitcoin. Deltron said so

Hopefully soon...

Would be great if they offered them for bitcoins, but who am I kidding I'd figure out a way to buy even if they only accepted stamp collections.

2014, the so called "year of bitcoin" has been pretty fucking boring so far. I think I'm going to day trade P&G stock instead.

2013 was the year of the bitcoin

You ain't seen nothing yet!

BTC closed 2013 at $880, up 6,636% from $13.26 at the close of 2012. I don't think this can possibly be beaten unless 2014 closes higher than $58,400.

Well,the price did go up to $1000,but crashed almost immediately because people sold them off. We need people who will hold even as the price rises.

They could easily start accepting bitcoins after just one phone, considering...

On December 12, 2013, Marc Andreessen joined the company's board when his firm Andreessen Horowitz led the $75 million Series B venture funding.

I am such btc hodler ...well Oculus is one of those few projects I would spend my beloved coins. I got Rift V1, and I pretty much like the Oculus dev community loads of free games ( RiftEnabled ) etc ... hope that community will start accept bitcoin as well ...  

[Dafar]

Oh look guys! January is coming to an end and this thread still holds true.

Let's face it, for investors this year has not been great so far. Not that I am worried because I'm a long term believer. I don't expect to see any bubbles that will shoot us up to a new ATH anytime soon. Feb and Mar will continue this boring sideways movement, and for good reason because the hype has been way too much recently. This sideways movement will shed off some of the weaker holders before the train starts back up again. We may not even see any action until April or May or longer... who knows, this reminds me of the 6 month sideways movement after the big crash that one year.

2014, the so called "year of bitcoin" has been pretty fucking boring so far. I think I'm going to day trade P&G stock instead.

Im afraid the days of volatile highs and lows are going to become less and less.  

The more robust the Bitcoin foundation becomes, the less its going to fluctuate.

Its going to become a slowly increasing beast.  Rewarding those who bought and held.

Long term investors. 

And all those times we told you day traders to buy and hold will seem more sensible.  :-P

All the haterz... where you at now? We are in the $400s bro..... 2014 is NOT the "year of bitcoin" by any means

Wise call, and I was there with you. I wish I had taken my own advice of trading P&G stock, I probably would have netted much more income from it.

Probably not but we have seen long periods of stagnant price before. The end only let us see a massive uptick in the price, followed by a bubble then by a crash then by a massive increase in prices.
