Wow, I read the first couple threads on this board:
red: bearish green: bullish black: neutral. Apologies to the R/G colorblind.
  • Soon...
  • Poll: Bitcoincharts.com: More time intervalls?
  • Doesn't belong in speculation? bitscalper anyone use this ?
  • Is Fear About The Potential Impact of BIP 16/17 Suppressing Bitcoin Prices?
  • The Historical Depth Blog -- updates once a day
  • leverage rally is done at 6.15-6.2
  • OP mentions he is selling. WTF?

Seriously, where did all the bulls that were so omnipresent a while back go? I don't consider myself a permabull, but I'm still starting to feel alone here. Here's a chart to make you all feel better:

So bearish, I know...

Why the pessimism?


Bitcoin Fact: the price of bitcoin will not be greater than $70k for more than 25 consecutive days at any point in the rest of recorded human history.

lol i'm a bull!

when we saw 2.5 jump to 3.5ish i said: "we are seeing the start of a never ending bull run" and i stand by that statement.

when bitcoin is worth 1800/oz ops i mean /btc i will be saying "we will see 2000$ by then end of the year"

 Cheesy happy trading

There are always alarmist threads in speculation...  This isn't new; this is business as usual.

This is the worst subforum to get trading advice  Cheesy

Don't be upset at the pessimism. It is probably a sign that we are actually going up.

No, it just means more people are holding their margins in BTC over USD.

I think something in the back of the minds of anyone who is here for profit (either BTC or Fiat), is the fact that a few different people could decimate this market in nearly an instant. Who knows?  Maybe they're just waiting hoping for the $2 BTC again.

Not quite the effect you guys where looking for though. That wasn't even a squeeze, and it's retraced back to 5.95.

This is why I sold my position down to a manageable base price yesterday during that spike up.  *yawn* bring on the real rollercoaster.
