so my prediction is that in the Q1 of 2014 the price will skyrocket if the US statment will be positive which I think will be after hearing that interview of the senate, so people mark my words.
This could turn out to be a good call. I'm thinking in 2014 Bitcoin might surprise as yet again in a big way and I'm not even making it dependant on this senate thing... just general reception and adoption. I've been trying to brush it off as a naive dream, "get real, be reasonable, it can't go on like this forever,..." and stuff, but it's not working well ;-). The signs are brightly shining us in the faces. *blink blink*
The early year has always been good to Bitcoin and it would fit with the theory that bubbles are coming in ever more rapidly (June 2011 -> Jan 2013: 18 months, Apr 2013 -> Okt 2013: 6 months, Dez 2013 -> Feb 2014: 2 months). I'm very bullish mid-term and of course long-term.
I hadn't been ruling out another drop to rpietila prediction levels, but it's becoming more and more unlikely in my mind. So I think I'm even bullish short-term.
