Expectations where much higher than the real market growth. Also, greed cycles tend to be much more sudden and powerful than fear and return to mean cycles.

Because there is no demand and the price is not bound to go anywhere but slowly down?

The market is unilateral and has no spectrum right?  Roll Eyes

Troll logic.

Troll logic.
For a new strong bull market the amount of fiat hitting exchanges would be gigantic and we are not seeing it. There is evidence that demand is actually decreasing (while supply keeps increasing of course).

I have the weird feeling we're gonna start creeping up, higher highs and higher lows coming.  Once we cross 300 again to the upside and stay there, bears are going to get nervous.

Evidences are showing equilibrium is near to be reached.

Because a lot of people got the "moon" from Coinbase instead of Coinbase taking us to the moon

A controlled Bitcoin bubble, "capitulation" is the wrong word here. It's far from any capitulation.

Simply because we haven't reached capitulation yet. You are thinking of a phase we still have to reach.

Indeed. No sign of desperation yet.

Why is capitulation slow? Well, because the sellpressure from the miners isn't so rapid. The slow death of btc might accelerate however past the 200$-mark

Too many people with hopes, dreams, and lots of money invested. We'll see a lot more blood in the streets before this is over.

Partly because the China bubble didn't pop all at once. As with many actions of the government of China, pressure to stop doing something was gradually increased over time. Remember all those posts on here that "nothing was changing in China"? Well, it was. It took a while for the bubble to deflate.

Bitcoin has had two major bubbles - Silk Road drugs and China exchange controls. Both are over. The question is, what is Bitcoin worth if it's no good for getting away with illegal transactions?

It's getting very close to $200 again. Today's low was $210. Around $215 now.

Any significantly advanced cryptocurrency is indistinguishable from Ponzi Tulips.
