It's frustrating to think how much momentum/feedback there is in the pricing of Bitcoin. When it's going down, miners are selling --> downward pressure --> holders sell waiting for a bottom --> downward pressure --> would be buyers hold off --> supply expands like crazy. Then on the way up everyone is doing the opposite. I think this crash is going to essentially be an accelerated version of 2011. Sub-$50 pricing , wait for the price to stabilize for 1-3 weeks, then as soon as it starts moving back up for 5-7 consecutive days, the money will come pouring back in. My guess is 1-2 months from now.
this is not far from what I've been thinking. A fast-forward version of 2011. about 10-20 times faster. If this does happen, would be interesting to see whether the trend of larger bubbles & faster crashes is the mechanism that gets Bitcoin to true mainstream adoption. At some point the volatility would have to just dissipate as adoption reaches its saturation point.

Sorry for double post but unless they're just getting home or taking the time to confirm the wallet transfer to Gox, I can't believe people are selling in the $70s. Any chart shows there's been a decline for two hours already. Do people not like their profit? If they were desperate to cash out, IDK, $90 seems better than $70. Maybe it's just me.
Remember, not all sells are people cashing out at a miserable loss. -Sold at $88 -Bought at 86 -Sold at 87 -Bought at 84 -Sold at 85 -Bought at 81 -Bought at 80 -Sold at 83 -Sold at 81 -Bought at 78 -Sold at 81 And so on and so forth. Some people have the patience and skillz to sit there and make money on the minute-to-minute. They're the "evil speculators" that our stereotyping occupy-wall-st bear crowd likes to complain about.

Its not over yet..still some trigger selling

How Ripple Rips you: "The founders of Ripple Labs created 100 billion XRP at Ripple's inception. No more can be created according to the rules of the Ripple protocol. Of the 100 billion created, 20 billion XRP were retained by the creators, seeders, venture capital companies and other founders. The remaining 80 billion were given to Ripple Labs. Ripple Labs intends to distribute and sell 55 of that 80 billion XRP to users and strategic partners. Ripple Labs also had a giveaway of under 200 million XRP (0.002% of all XRP) via World Community Grid that was later discontinued.[29] Ripple Labs will retain the remaining 25 billion"

if thing happen faster as time passes then we should have a price graph with the price in log scale and the time in e^(1/t) scale
You are a genious! I'm no math whiz but basically that function would do the same for the time on the x axis as the log scale does for price on the y axis? I'd like to see a chart of USD/BTC with a 30-day rolling average line, except with the time, as you suggested, e^(1/t). That would be the ultimate chart porn! Plus it would piss off the bears. See, bears hate log scales, because "regular old" integer scales overemphasize recent price events but de-emphasize past events. So, the 2011 jump looks like a blip and the current crash looks like a train wreck of biblical proportions. Log scales treat a rise from 1 to 2 the same as 100 to 200, getting rid of the psychological barriers. And bears LOVE psychological barriers.

And bears LOVE psychological barriers. e^(1/t) does the exact opposite of log it "squeezes" the bottom instead of the top (log) of the axis Actually I think for it to work the x axis should be t*e^(1/t) , t>1 , but I don't have the time to do a graph maybe someone else can

Oh no, I totally agree. With the fees in place though, it's a pain to cycle funds at anything less than $2 difference. They'd be earning profit but I'd imagine could also risk getting burned.

Oh Loaded, who art up in Mt. Gox, hallowed be thy name! Thy dollars rain, thy will be done, on BTCUSD. Give us this day our daily 10% 30%, and forgive the bears, as we have bought their bitcoins. And lead us into quadruple digits

Oh no, I totally agree. With the fees in place though, it's a pain to cycle funds at anything less than $2 difference. They'd be earning profit but I'd imagine could also risk getting burned. Having watched these charts for months now doing nothing but holding I was today toying with the idea of doing some trading but after a couple of times putting ask orders on that didn't quite hit before it went tumbling down again in the end decided to stay out of trading and once again to simply stick with my holding strategy. It had taken me a while after we didn't get an immediate recovery after the big drop to realise the trading conditions since fall within my parameters for the first time (for me) . Contrary to many here what I would be trading with would be my bitcoin because all the fiat I am prepared to risk on Bitcoin is already all in. So the advice I was once given 'never trade into a falling market' means in the normal bitcoin bull market I would be trading into a falling fiat market. Here though what we've had is a rising fiat relative to bitcoin. But in the end I do believe it will turn around sometime and with a reasonable possibility of it happening quite quickly and sharply. The risk associated with that, combined with my inexperience means I'll likely tomorrow return the temporary bitcoin funding I put on mtgox back to my wallet and go back to watching:) Well done to all of you who are doing well from it and good luck to those playing it now. I know by just holding I am contributing to the scarcity but I also appreciate what you guys are doing for liquidity ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)
