Can anyone comment on what this means for the price of coins? How will things affect each other?
The writer of the above article thinks that Bitcoin exploded in value in 2013 because of QE. And now that QE has stopped the Bitcoin bubble has burst.
I should keep a list of the kind of things people directly attribute the rise and 'fall' of Bitcoin in 2013 and 2014 to. We have Willy, QE, China, MtGox, Silk Road, media hype cycle... any more you can think of perhaps?
Anyway, I agree there will be another financial crisis that will start probably this year (we're still in the middle of a crisis actually, just in the eye of the storm where it seems quiet), and will get worse and worse until confidence in the paper fiat system and central banks will start to show serious cracks and the people of the world will be looking to alternative forms of money, money with a finite supply and not based on debt and inflation. Alternatives like Bitcoin for example. Gold and Silver will probably also flourish just like they did after 2008, unless the crisis gets so bad people only want food, water, shelter, guns and ammunition. But that's armageddon stuff and not very likely to happen imo. Nobody knows what will happen exactly, but one thing for sure is that things are going to change a lot the coming years.
