Exactly what is going to happen to make 10's of millions of dollars suddenly run away from bitcoin?   Which is what would have to happen to see the price slide.   Other than wishful thinking, I can't wrap my mind around what you bears think is going to destroy bitcoin.   Can any of you read an order book?   After the April crash, the order book collapsed.   It is building like crazy right now.

well for starters.. governments could start shutting down or regulating exchanges. that or government might announce that it will pursue tax evaders who hold bitcoin. i'm not bearish, i'm "idontknowish."


And we might have another Carrington event, etc.   Of course there will eventually be a push to find tax evaders using bitcoin, but the best way to get caught would be to sell on an exchange . . .   Regulating exchanges? Having to abide by KYC?   That would certainly kill bitcoin.  Roll Eyes  

I was talking about the next few weeks anyway.   Sure there could be bad news, but in my opinion the odds are greater that we have good news than bad.

You're delusional if you think there are no bad news that could bring btc down. 90% of it's value is speculation. Things like exchanges going down/getting hacked (looking at btc-e), protocol issues (big hard fork), any news of some retards getting busted for something illegal and getting paid with BTC (think child pornography rings, some dictators funneling funds to repress ppl) negative press, one of those BTC100k wallets getting hacked and dumped with one market sell (sheep), some senator in US decides to make a career by fear mongering against BTC etc...etc...etc... Hell look at the catalyst of this crash apparently it was the not so bad news from Chinese. I'm long on BTC but don't fool yourself thinking there aren't any risks  

The market crashed this time because it was weak and looking for any excuse. There has been worse news that the market shrugged off.


Catalyst - an agent that provokes or speeds significant change or action.
Yep agree, in fact the market didn't start crashing tell well into what like the 2nd day of the news
